clearly shown than on Market street, in this
city, yesterday. When colored youth fell upon
| the postofice pavement in an epileptic or some
other kind of fit the crowd which gathered in
stanty stood stupidity by, as crowds do on such
occasions. Much advice about what ought to be
done was passed around, but no one did anything
for the unfortunate young African until a

literature on the subject which will overwhelm
the world when political equality becomes fairly
established.
| A DRAMA called 'Innsfall" has been written
for an intelligent compositor Of Brooklyn, who
has dropped his composing stick with the inten-
ton of taking the stage. 1t is supposed that the
central idea and great act Of the drama, outlined
by the title, was suggested to the printer in his
| fall from the fourth story, when pursued by an
| Infatuated editor whose copy he had mangled.
| PHILADELPHIA paper says scornfully that
"Abe Buzzard, in jail, will soon degenerate into

| PERRY DAVIS, of pain-killer fame, is not an
inmate of a Pennsylvania poor-h house, and never
has been. In fact he is an inmate of no earthly
tenement, having been gathered to his fathers
10 these twenty three years. So say the success
