ABIUT A TAIL.— A gentleman was so prone to exaggeration, that it wa, found necessary to instruct his servant to jog him, whenever he drew the long bow too freely. One day he was d scribing a fox he had slain, a fox with a monstrous long brush, quite a "mile long." John immediately jogged his ma-ter. " Well," said lie, "perhaps not quite so much, but I am sure it was quite half-a-mile." (Another jog !) " Or, if not, about a quarter." (Jog again.) '• Well, I'll he shot if it was not a hundred yards long !" (A very hard jog ) The poor story-teller could bear this jogging Hut longer, but jomping up, exclaimed— '• Zomds, rascal ! will you not let my fox halos a tail at nil ?"

DEATH OF MR. ROBERT STEPHENSON.  We reeret to state that Mr. Robert Stephenson died on Wednesday aftereoon, at one o'clock, and news cof his death has caused the greatest regret. By to general public the loss is regarded as a nationel calamity. and by It's frieede and all who lied interviews with him, to both a private and pubiic bereavement. When Mr. Stephenson sailed for Norway in his yaehe stem atter the eI.SO of the season, he was in indiffereet health ; and during his stay there, he was attacked with a complaint of the liver. thi the return voyage the yacht encountered severe weather, causing him to suffer from sea-sickness ; an attack of jaundice ensut d, and on landing at Lou estoft it was neces,rtey ti carey him to the railway station, Upt.n his arrival in Loudon dropsy set in, and he wits too weak to permit ita being relieved. Coneestien of the liver also took place, but the former disease was the immediate cause of hie death. Ile Ilied comparative;y free from pain. Mr. Stephenson was in his :07! h year. He leaves no family, and his wile died some years since. As a proof of Mr. Srephenstin's beeevolence, it may be meat iontel that lie dispensed annually in charity several thousand pounds in the most unosteutatious wanner. Mr. Stephenson's death so soon after the decease of Mr. Brunel, his eminent competitor fir engineering fame. reminds one of the striking hietorieal parallel of Pitt and Fox. Mr. Stephens m's fame resis upon the construction of many stupendous works both at home and abroad. The Britannia tubular bridge, a perfectly original structure, was his projection, and the Victoria Bridge, in Canada, which he has not lived to see completed, and the immense bridge at lieti:e Anzayat, across the Nile, are from deeiges by him. Mr. R. Stephensen's death leaves a vecaney in the parliamentary representation of NVhittiy.  SUICIDR THROUPIi •INALOCtiV. - A few days ago, John M-Cane, of Bishonweartnouth, ho was jealoos of his wife, committed suicide by hanging himself in his bedroom. When found he was dressed in his wife's silk dress, inflated with crinoline.

CRINOLINZ.— it would appear from an incident which occurred at the railway station, in Gloucester. on Wednesday last, that crinoline has hidden as well as open dangers. Three ladies and two gentlemen had been travellirg ill the same carriage togethor, when one of the ladies suddenly exclaimed that she had lost her purse, and did net hesitate ti believe that some one of her companions had stolen it. A cry of police was raised, and a city out cer being on the spot, the gentlemen and two ladies suspected were searched —the latter, of course, by a female— but the purse eoul I not be found. The officer then suggested that the lady should search herself, and having &Ale SU she di,covered that the purse Lad fallen and Wile; Securely resting perdu on one of the hoops of her petticoat. We need not say her apologies sere nu Vss ample than her dress ; but her companions in order that their reputation might net again be pliteed under a cloud, took care that she travolled alone for the remainder of the journey. - Cltelterik m Ex.lntiner. THE Meansatia Piessits.—After the sentence of death had been passed at the late Kent WiSiZeB on this unhappy culprit her the wilful murder of a young woman named Emma Cappins, at Qoeensborough, the judge (Mr. Baron Martin), communicated with the chaplain of the Maidstone prison (the Bev. Wata n King), and made several inquiries reveling the prisoner. .A statement of the wh,le of the cireurustan.  ces of the case has been forwarded to the Secretary of State, whose reply has not becu received. The prisoner, who of course is kept in ignorance of what is going forward, apparently et tertains no Lope of his life being spared. For some time past, through the coustant exhortat Mos of the chaplain, he has been deeply penitent. When first admitted into the gaol he was unable to spell a single word, but he has since learnt to read, and now speods a large portion of his time hi perusing the New Testament and any other religious books. He is supposed to be a native of Leicestershire, but refuses to disclose anything with respect to hie friends. Should the sentence be carried into effect, the execution will take place on Thursdav the 7th April. *EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE or AN

ROMANTIC SUICIDE OF A SOLDIER.  Considerable excitement has been caused in the garrison at Hounslow by the suicide of a private belonging to the infantry depot. James Parsons, of the Royal Fusiliers, having obtained . .  his pass for the Ch'ristmlis holidays, wit's awaiting 1 • letter from his sweetheart at Havant before starting on his furlough. The letter not arriving he appears to have become depressed, and on Saturday afternoon expressed his opinion to a comrade that the young woman had jilted him. ' Late in the evening Sergeant-Major Price discovered his dead holy lying on the floor in front of the fire in one of the barrack rooms. A dia charged rifle lay beside him, and it is conjectured that he had placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth while sitting on a form by the fire, and pressed the trigger with a piece of wood. Death must have been instantaneous, as a portion of the bead was blown away. The body was removed to the military mortuary to await a Coroner's enquiry. Ills a curious coincidence that Parsons was with a sergeant of the Fusiliers who committed self-destruction in • similar manner in the reinie barracks a year ago. The deceased bore a good military character, and wee much liked by his comiades.

HEARTLESS DECEPTION OF POOR  EMIGRANTS.  A case which has just came under the notice of one of the Liverpool Magistrates is • fairly illustrative example of modern roguery on the one side and simplicity on the other. A Pol?., rejoicing in the patronymic of Wystinininski, prefixed by the Polish synonym for the universal John, was brought up on a charge of haring attempted to commit suicide at the Langton Dock, and the story which the poor fellow told was piteous in the extreme. He said a man professing to be an agent for some steamship cornnanies had bet-n travelling through Poland and the rest of the south-westerly portion of Lassie telling the peasantry marvellous tales of the fabulous wealth of America, where labour was a species of pleasure, bringing in its train unlimited remuneration. Wystinininski and other poor peasants were easily persuaded to invest their simi.ll sayings, equal to about of our money, on the prospect of becoming millionaires by easy stages, the brat stage being a journey to Hamburg by rail. From there the emigrants were shipped off to Liverpool in the full assurance that their modest was to pay the expense of their journey right through to America, where they were to take possession of farms generously provided by • paternal Government. In Liverpool, however, they were rudely awakened, and discovered that, in the words o; their neighbouring poet-songeter, ii War Ms Trasei. They calmly marched aboard one of the Atlantic liners with a number of German emigrants, only to be marched back again when the authorities discovered they had no tiokets. Poor Wyetinininski thas foeud himself absolutely destitute and on a foreign sod, and so dejected was he at this ruthless downdaahing of his castles in the sir that he sttemptad to end his troubles with • header into the dock. Two labourers rescued him, and brought him back at once to land mid to the consideration of his troubles. Mr Clarke Aspanall, before whom he afterwards was brought, considerately let the poor fellow go, and it is to be hoped he may yet find a pleasant termination to his long journey from the laud of his fathers.
