Tho last day of Miss Charlotte Cush- man’s engagement &t McVicker's Theatro was the occasion of 8 peculiarly intercsting cpisodo, and one which that groatest of living actresses will remember with pleasuro during ber life.

Their appreciation of this unusually jeasant state of things took the form of an slegaut littla teatimonial—not cspecially rare or Sostly, mor iutringically of great value, but ex- ceodingly tasteful and appropriste—which was * presented (o 3iss Cushman yesterdsy afternoon in the green-room of the theatre.

Wow o Rogus *Commercial Tonrist” was Exposed at Anderson’s European Iotel. H Some two weeks ago, s man named J. A. Lobe ! rogistered at Anderson's Europcan Hotel, and + leftinthe baggage-room 3 bundle of consider- able size, which he informed the baggage boy contained samples. He represented that he was taagentfor & New York house. A check was given for tho packege, snd tho man went awsy. During the dsy he was mot feen again, snd it was presumed that he s industrionsly plying his vocation, among the deslers in his lino in Chicago. Ho did not ap- ‘pear for some time, and it was prosumed that he bed left the city, to return at an early dsy for his packege. But the early day errived, and stil | e bundle was tncelled for. It was. then thought best to place the package smong the bundles for which no owners could ‘bo found. Accordingly it was given in cherge of the official of that department. Yestordsy morning, in g s from the timo they sre born until their heads ceass to graw, and thus the desired effect is pro- duced. 1t would naturaily bo “ptond that tha brain would be injured, and probably reduced in gize, but such is not tho case; Lenco tho con- tradiction to phrenological dogmas.

Phrenologists used to maintain that, Ly using artificial means for developing cerlain bumps on the skull and depressing others, car- 1gin desirable characteristics would be dovelopad, and undesirable ones suppressod; bub it e ponrs that the juner surface of the cranium by no means corresponds in elovations aud depres- sions to the outer surface, The method used for measuring the brain capacity of a slull is singular to thoeo outside the medical profeesion.

The following paper on the eubject of the ‘monumental records hitherto obtained in Meso- potemia, from the pen of Alr. Georgo Smith, the decipherer of tho now world-famons “ cleventh tablet,” which containg tho Chaldean Story of the Flood, will be read with much interest at tho present moment : ~ ‘The subject of Assyrian discovary ia 8o wide, ard the results arc 80 numercos and important, that it would be impossible to dispowo of the whole rénesfion evonin a dozen artictes. Instend of wandering ovor the large range of Aasyrian the theme, some of the main results as regerds history. Considerations of space provent my entering into delails as to the discoverers them- solves, and tho mothods by which thoy arrived at these iacts. It must suflice tosay that all Assy- rian echolars hiave had their share in the work, The earlicst date yot verified is that of the con- quost of Babylonis by Kudur-nsnhundi, the Tamite, B. C. 2280, more than 4,000 years' ago. Kudur-nanhundi carried off from Bezbylonia an imagoe of tho goddess Nana, much venerated by the Bsbfl!uninn!‘ ‘This captive goddess wus sebupin the City of Shushan, and romained there 1,635 years, when it was retaken by the Assyrians, and rostored to its place, Trom tho twenty-third to the sixtcenth cen- tury B. C., or from about 4,000 to 8,400 years ago, the Dabylonian inscriptions supply us with the names-of many_monarchs who ruled in tho Euphrates Valley. These monarchs built groat cities, excavatod canals, and reared magnificent tomples, the ruins of which exist to this day. Went of the records of the period pre- vents us from knowing their oxact chronology, or even the guccession of their names; but, in somo few casos, their. inscriptions have come down to us, and prove of remarkeblo in- torest. One of the most famous of these monarchs was Sargon I Of him the inv:crif‘tienfl tell an oxtraordinary tale. Ho is said to have been of royal descent ; his mother gave birth to him in obscurity, placed him in an ark of rushes daubed with bitumen, and exposed him on the River Euphrates, as Jochebed did the infant Moscs on the Nile. Sargon was rescued by o man named Alki, who brought the child up ns his son. Ho afterward became & husbandman, and, by good fortuno, rose to be King. During bis reign Sar- on engaged in extonsive wars, and carried the fabyloaian arms from the Mediterranean Ses to tho Persian Gulf. Another renowned warrior and builder was Hammurabi, who founded the groatness of the City of Babylon. Beforo Greece and Rome were thought of, and while most of the peoples of autiquity had not emerged into national life, the first Babylonisn Empire had already become old, its power had decayed, and its dominion was fast paesing iuto the hands of the younger and moro vigorous Lingdom of Assyria, then rapidly rising at the side of it. The history of the early | Assyrian monarchs, 80 far 83 it is known from the inscriptions, shows them warring against their neighbors on_every sido, and gradually welding together a mation destined to overshadow the astern world. Ono of the greatest of these early Kings was Tiglath Pileser L., who reigned B. C. 1120, = fow years ufter tho Trojan war. liglath Pileser ‘Glaims to have conquered sixty, Kings during the first, five years of bis reign, snd in the intervals T found time to engage in hunting expeditions and to sleaghter many lions, wild oxen, loopards, and other fierce animale. Vild oxen he hunted on the slopes of Lebanon, -and he killed s por< poiso_in the Mediterreneai. At homo he Tosred tho great tower of tho City of Assur, ‘which is marked by the ruins of Kclah Shorghat. Onc disaster, nevertheless, marks the reign of this prosperons monarch; he was defeated by -the ‘Babylonians who captured the -Aseyrian City of Ekali, Tiglath Pilescr, howover, next yesr -avenged this defeat, end raveged & part of Babylonia. In those days tho two great powers—one on the banks of tho Nile, the other on tho beoks of tho Tigris—established what aro cnlled’ in_political language, *friendly rela- tions,” and the King of Egypt sent_to Tiglath Pileser the present of a crocodile. Passing over the bistory of many monarchs, including Assur- nazir-pal, called *tho great conqueror”—=o many of whose memorials - are 1n the British Museum—we arrive at the time of Shalmancser I, who 7reigned 86 years beforo the Christian ora. The exploits of _this monarch are rocorded on tho .famons black obelisk and the monolith from Kurkh, both of which are in the British Museum. This King, in {ho sixth year of Lis reign, invaded Syria, at the time when Ben Ha 8o well known to us Shalmaneser entered Hamath, zud on the banks of tho River Orontes fought 2 battle with Ben Haded, whowas snssisted by soveral other mon- archs; smong these, by Baasha, King of Am- ‘mon, and Absb, King of Israel. ‘The toxt of the Book of Kings relates the story of the ilincss of Bon Hadad, and his murder by his servant Hazael, who then usurped his throne. After tho nccession of Hazacl, Shalmaneser ogain in- vaded Syria, and defeated Hazne! at Shenir, in tho mountains of Lebanon, with heavy loss. ‘Hazael fled from the battle, Xumucd by hia vie- torting . over his property, the offi- cial camo ecross the packsge, and i putting it oo the shelf, mn warily ran his thumb through the paper which wia around it. - Sawdust began to pour ont, and biscuriosity being excited, the official toro the hole larger. Shaviugs and splints of wood wero exposed, and upon showing 1t to the Senior Mr, l +Anderson, it was decided to say nothing, and await the return of the wood vender.

Tiglath Pileser IL, who reigned B. C. 745, is well knwn to us from the Biblical story. memorials, although very imperfect, are, per- hape, tho most important in the Aseyrian serics. Tiglath Pileser was not of royal descent, and he ascended the throno during & popular revolution. He defented the Armenians ond.many other nations, and conquered the rfeople of Hamnth, who had revolted, and allie thomselves with Azarigh, thewarlike King of Judeh. To Tig- lath Pileser Menshem, King of Israel, gove tribute, This Assyrian monarch pushed his conquests as far a5 Egypt, and engaged in war with 8 ucen of tho -Arabs, named Samsl. Tn tho time of Tiglath Pileser ln:Ee portions 'of Byrin were incorporpted into tho Assyrian dominions, and many of the Iergelites wero carried captive tp those regions, Toward tke close of his an- nals, Tiglath Pileser mentions the murder of Pekah, King of Isrsel, and tho acceseion of Hosea. After the death of Bhalmaneser, the successor of Tiglath Piloser, Bargon, who is mentjoned by the Prophet Teaiah, nscended tho throno B. C. 722, Sargon captured the City of Bamaria, and carried the ten tribes of Israel into poptivity. He also defeated the famous Bthio- pian, Babaco, mentioned by Herodotus, and took the Gity of Aehdod, ns related in the twentieth -chapter of Isaiah. = Another exploit of Sargon wag-the conquest of Merodach ‘Baladan, the Bsbylonisn monarch who sent an embessy to Hezeldah. Sargonbuilt the City of Dur-Largina, {ro; which msny of the sculpiures in the Lou- vre eoms, < Sennacherib, son of Bargon, is, perhaps, the best known by stone and tablet of 2l the Assyri- an monarche, He began to reign B.

Esarheddon destroyed the City of Zidon, the great emporium of Eastern trade, and he extended his power over to the Ialand of Cyprus, ten kings of which submitted tohim. Later in his reign Lo attacked Tirhakah, the Ethiopian, and ‘drove that monnrch out of Tgypt, which country ho now added to tho Assy- rian dominions. Esarhaddon is also famous for his expedition into Arabia. Tho arid deserts of Arabin havo formed a barrier through which fow of the conquerors of antiquity over vontured to pass, 5o that this campaigu of Esarhaddon Las fow parallelsin kistory. Esarhaddon avoided any strife ot his doath by himeelf crowniug his son Assurbanipal, cele- brated 28 tho Sardanepelus of the Greeks., The pride and pomp of Sardszapslas, end the luxury of his court have been described by many wniers. Tho inscriptions and sculptures of this epoch bear out thoae decriptions in all ra- spects save one—for the King himsol? was not the effieminate monarch the Greeks describohim, but o warrior aud hunterwhose deeds rival those of hia lcn{fi line of predeceasors. In thdtime of Sardanapalus reigned Gyges, Kingof Lydia. The romantic story of Gyges and tho wife of Candanlus forms almost tho opening passage of tho history of Ilorodotus; and soma of Lis statements _regarding Lydian luatory are woll confirmed by tho Assyrian iuscriptions. Sar- dnnnpalus tolls us thet Gyges was warnod by Assur, tho notionsl deity of the Assyrians, 10 cubmit to the King of Assyria, and there- upon he sent an cmbassy to Nineveh, and l:rencnt to Bardanapalus, alone with Lis tribute, wo Cimmerian chicfs, captured in baitle.

The nunala of Bardanapalus aleo accord tho success- ful revolt of Paammetichus, who congnored the othor petty Kings of Egypt, and frced the conn- try from theAsayrion yokc. The palace of Sar- danapalus, at Ninevah, was adorned with slabs on which wore depicted the wars and hunting oxpeditions of tho King. Some of thoso are ex- ocuted with grezt spirit and finish, and are the finost Aesyrian sculptures which hayo yot beon discovered. - - Tho inscriptions are too imperfect to givo us any information as to tha cloging scenes of tho Asuyrian Empire ; but wo know that tho Baby- lonian power there revived afte rits long period of depression, and under Nabopolasser zud Ne- Luchadnezzar arose to almost universal domina- tion. Tho bistory of Nebuchadnczzar, tho de- stroyer of Jerughlem, the rebuildor of Babylon, has not been recovered; and ths inseriptions of his reign which have beeu found relate exclu- sively to his architoctural works. The palaco which Nebuchadnezzar built at Babylon has for centuries formed the quarry of building ‘materials from tho people of the district, Vari- from the Bible, was on the throno at Damascus.- ous other inceriptions havo beon discovered re- Iating to the historics of Nabonidus, Belshazzar, Cyrus, Darius, and many other monarcha; but, in spite of the grcat accessions to our know- ledge derived from the cunciform inscriptions, thero is still long blanks in the history, an 1any important questions pressing for that go- lution which & search in the rich dust of the Mesopotamian mounds would no doubt furnish. ————————— WASHINGTON'S NEW YEAR'S. An American President’s Reception in thre Dnys of Decoruri, From the New York Evening Peat. The levees of President Washington wero far more select and rational than those of his sue- cessors have been for tho last fow yems. They were numoronsly attended by all who were fash- ijonable and refined of society; but thero wero no places for the intrusion of the rabble in crowds, or for the more coarsoand boisterous Snrtism—the vulgar electioneerer—or tho impu- ont place-hunter, with_boote znd frock coat, or with patched knees, and holes ot both elbows. On thescontrary, they were solect and moro courtly than have been given by any one holding tho samo office eince. Proud of Der husband's oxalted fame, ond joslons of tho honors due not only to Lis own lofty character, bnt to the digni~ fiod station to which o gratéful country bad called him, Mrs. Wachington was careful inher drawing-rooms to exact thoso courtesies to which she knew the President was entitled. Fortunately, moreover, the rudeness of the present day Lad not then so far gained the as< Condency a4 to_ banish good manners, and the charms of nocial intercourso wero heightened by a reasonsble attention in the best cirches to those forms and ueages which indicate the well- Dred assemblage, and throw around it an air of eleg;mcu and grace which only tho envions affect to deery, and only tho vulgar ridiculo and con- demn. * Noue, thereforo, were admitted to the levees but thoso who had cither a-right by ofti- cial station to be there, or were entitled tfo the privilege by cstablished merit and _character; and full dress was required of all. Some show, if not of stato, at least of respect, for the high offficer to bo visited, was exected down to the close of Br. Madieon's administration. Mr. ‘Monroo required less formality aud attention to dress, and the second President Adams still less. Mré. Washington was 2 pleasing and egrecablo rather than = brilliant woman. Her figure was not commanding, but her menners were easy, conciliatory, and. sttractive., Hor domestic ar- rangements were slwaya conceried under her own eye, and everything witlin her housebold moved forward with tho regularity of machin- ery. No daughter of Eve ever worshipped her lord with more sincero and affectionate venera-. tion; and none had ever greater cause to render homnic. When asbsent he was over in ler’ thoughts, and her mild eyes kindled at his pres- ence. Sho was well educated, and posscssed strong native sense, guided by all necossary pru- dencoand discretion. She rarcly convorsed upon olitical subjects, and when the most expert iplomatists would attempt vo drow her out, sho hed the faculiy of turning the conversation with equal dexterity and politenees. At all the Pres- ident's enterlainments, whether at the table or in tho drawing-room, notwithstanding: the re- gard to etiquette Lerotofore reverted to, thero Was nevortheless so much kindness of feeling displayed, and. such an unaffected degveo of genuino hospitality, that golden opinions were won alike from the foreign and domestic vis- itors. TIn those days, aleo, late hours were not nec- essary, and many Of our fair metropolitan ronders, who aro in the habit of dressing at 10 to enter s drawing-room st 11, will doubtless bo rised to learn thet 3{ra. Washington'slevees closed always at 9. ‘This was & rulo which that distinguished lady establishod on the occasion of holding her first leveo on the evening of Jan. 1, 1790, The Presi- dent’s residence was in the old Franklin Houso, in thie city, ot the head of Cherry stroct. The doy was uncommonly mild and pleasznt. The umoon was full, aud the air was so bland and serone that the ladies attended in their light pummer dresses, Having beon introduced by the sides and gontlemen in waiting, tes, coffeo, Iain and plum cake werg handed round. Famil- ar and friendly conversation cnsued, and kind inquiries on the part of Mrs, Washington after the families of tho exiles, with whom she bad beon scqusinted during the Revolutionary War, and who always received marked attention from Genoral Washington, Xrs, Washington stood by the sido of the General 1n receiving the re- spects of the visitors. Amid the social chit-chat of the evening the clock struckd, Mrs. Washing- ton thereupon roso_with dignity, and looking -around tho circle with a complacent emile, ob- served, Tho Qeneral alwaye retiros at 9, and I usually precede bim.” At this hint the ladies instantly rose, adjusted their. dresses, made their Eslutations, and retired. General Washington had on that day been waited upon by the princtpal gontlemon of the city, according to the anciont New York custom of gocial and convivial New Year's visiting.” Af- ter having been !n\'emll{ introduced, and hav- ing paid tho usual compliments of the se the citizens inll.\rchmged greetings and I _drew, highly gratified by the {friendly ‘notice of the I’resxdent, to most of whom he was person-. ally a stranger, In the course of the evening, while speaking of the occurrences of the day, Mrs. Washington remarked: * Of all thoinci- dents of tio day, none so pleased the General (by which titlo she always designated him) as tho friandly = greet- ing of the gentlemen who visited him at noon.” To the inguiry of the President whether it was casual ¢r customary, he was an- swered that it was an annualcustom derived from our Dutch forefathers, which had always boea commemorated fromthe earliest bugummfif of Now Amsterdam, After 3 ehort pause ke o! served: “The highly-favered situation of Now York will, in the process of years, attract nu- merous immigrants, who will gradually change its ancient customs and menners; but whatever changes take place, never forget the cordial, cheerful observance of New Year's Day." ° RE FROM WASHINGTON'S MOTHER.

Almost invarinbly they aro neatly drossed, though somo of them ehow too much_cheap, tawdry finery, aud some, alay! are shabbily and insufficiently clad. Meay of them look healthy, cnergetic, and indopend- ont, whilo a fow, for refincd and’ graceful man- nens or beauty of form snd face, rival the most favored of owr sex. 7 ‘This is not enrprising in this country, where fortunes frequently change hands, and whero the majority aro too mach given to specnlation and to living beyond their means. Tut most_of our young working girls rovoeal, by the scraps of conversation we hiear from them in passing, their lack of mental cultivation and narrow views of life, whilo thoir physical ap- pearance too often tho ill-health induced by overwork, bad air in unventilsted working and eloeping Tooms), unsuitsble food, and indeed entiro lack of Lealthy, bodily and mental care.

Continuing gur walk into certsin of the cross strects, wo met o littlo lator somo thousands of school girls. The majority of these aro under 10 yoars of age, amoug whom zro found a large proportion of poor childron ; but the mieacs of 19and over mostly belong to our indopendent middlo class of citizens, and aro evidently well cared for. They aro pretty, sprightly girls, who gonerally scem. well content with lifo as they find it, and if they think of any changa it is not apparent that they bave any intention of bo- coming “independent aclf-suoporting women.” Bome, indced, are ambitious of shining as scholara and littcratours, and these mey, por- haps, bo in danger of straining the nervous sys- tem and taxing the vital powers by too much brain work; but tho great majority of onr school girls do not hurt themselves by study! indeed, as wo pass by, they are raroly talking of hooks, ‘but moro commonly of drose, parties, beaux, snd such liko enteriaining subjects, Theso pretty girls aro fresh and protty looking, not robust, indooed, rather too narrow in the chest and thin in the' arms genorally, etill thoy bid feir to bscomo, nnder JavoreLie circumstinces, fine, strong women. I fancy that fow of them will'caro_to study lonrned professions, or go into business, and I am glad of this, for their saleea. ) At 11, we return to Broadway, and there meot ur young ladies who have loft school, 2nd are now’ “out.” Those roll along in carriages, or 'Prumcnlde with their mammes and chsperones. 'they are shopping, making calls, out for tho air, anything but at work. They do not look very ‘“misoreblo,” ‘‘aimless” or ‘“unheppy,” and yet theso aré the very girls who have becn somach talked about by lecturers and writers. Wo aro told_that they are more miserablo than any other class of cifizens, that their lot is ono of tho most unnatural things in comfortably civ- ilized life, _that they aro simloss and hopeless, drifting on without any trado or business, or Liopo of any to preservo old ago from wretched mg unwelcome dopendonce. Again we zro assured that our fifla are friv- elous, extravagant, hall-cducated, ‘that if thoy are ba){:py it iy because of their utter lack of thought “which prevents them from compre- honding the wrelched future beforo them ; sinco they cannot hope to marry, there are not men enough to supply each single woman with a hus- band. Andif thero aro mon enongh they are obliged to remein single, poor fellows, becauso thoy never can hopo o support such extrava- gaat, idle wives. This is a dresdful statement about our girle, but is it true? T know ono who is really cxtravagant—that is, who spends an inordinete amount of money on herself; _while at tho ssme time I kmow a number of young lndies still at home with their parents, who Lelp with the housework and the sewing, and often make their own dresses to gave and be able to buy one new dress every season. If “the experience of others corresponds to mine, e have comparatively fow extrovagant Ameri- can girls. < 1 am, however, awaro that that thoir mothers warn them agaiust mstrimony unless thoy can chooso & husband who is in steady, of kind dispoeition, and ablo to main- tain them in_*comfortable style.” Thet last phrase does tho mischief, for vou will find that tho mother's idess of living iz comfort in New York would involve the expendituro of at least £5,000 2 year for the young couplo to begin on. o ono, T am sure, and least of all myself, will deny that it is truly comfortablo to have’ that amount of income to #pend, but cannot bappi- ness and even ease be attained for less ? If not, the futuro of our giris, and for that matter, of our boys too, is one that I shrink from contem- lating. P om mothors thinlk to sct matters right by teaching their daughters to work at some pro- fession or trade, and 8o earn money enough for theraselves.” To a cortain extent this is good; a girl should have some provision made for her mnintonance, If her parents spond every dol- lar of their income, and ore, consequently, un- abls to save money for their children, both girls and boys must learn somothing_ which will en- ablo them to carn their bread; bat the life of 5 # working-woman " is so herd, 80 uninyiting, 80 inadequately recompenszed, that I would have no girl cuter upon it unless sbomust, (Ihave here Wsed the torm “ working-woman” in the sense others use it—meaning, & woman who earns money—but I consider nearly every woman & working-woman.) - ° Wo cannot mako § worsp possible use of onr girls than'to set them to earning money. Even tho poorest aro_needed. at homo to &co that father has o good, hot breakfast beforo Lo goes to work in the morning; that her young sis- teraare comforted in tho samo manner, and sent off to school with clean, emiling faces,’ and well conned leasons; that hér mother is relieved of somo wearisomo details of housekeoping or baby tending, and coaxed to pay more attention to her dress and appearance, and made to look nica, and not let to_grow old too fast. Al this exercio of tho affectional and moral nature, develops our girl into & _true womenly waman, while her bhomg life keeps her innocent ru puro, undafiled by contact with evil, and_there- foro most likely to attract and win a good young man, . "The girl who is richer, whoso father is able to ‘malko sufficient provision for her futire support, Lzs utill moro work of her own to do, without running sway into new paths; for she has not only her own family to minister to’ and make happy, but socioty also demands much of her time and thought. American girls take the lead in society, they havo it in their power to encouragemen and women of merit o form little gircles of literature and art, to introduce people of wealth to thoze who need_their patronago. And while they are doing this good work for their country, they hava aleo the opportunity of -selecting beitor husbends then they now are likely to meet, 3 Wanderiul Surgical Operation. On Mondsy, Dec. 2, ult., o surgical operation Taa performed by Dira, Cable and Walters, of Pittsburgh, Penn., which is withont & parallel. A young msn, residing in Stoubenville, 0., was 20 unfortunafo os to get & mouth-plata with five teeth thercon fastened in his throat. Medical assistance was summoned, and all efforts ta, withdraw the plate were unsuccessfal, and the hysicians in attendanco pushed tho plate farther o the gullet, The patient suffered greatly, and efforts were made to employ & surgeon that would undertake to cut the man open and ro- cover tho plate, but o surgeon could not be found in the city who would rigk the delicate op- eration, Finally, Dre, Cable and Walters, of Pittsburgh, consented fo pérform the oporation. Chloroform was administered to the patient, and an incision was made in the neck, and the surgeon cut steadily to the top of the stomach. In the Ianguage of Dr. Caole, ** the man’a heart Was beating against my right hand, whilo the lungs and arteries were thropbing sgainst my left hand.” An instrnment was insorted and tho glnba successfully removed. Our informant left ittsburgh on the seventh day after tho opera- tion, and tha patient was recovering rapidly, and alater report by letter informs bim that heis entirely out of danger, Babics. The Pall Mall Gazelle says that, nowadazs, to get rid of babies, peo{lc, instead of wantin, A are bent npon scquiring them, and it ia quite 28 unsafo to leavo & baby about as an umbrella. The infant is snapped up in a moment, and the chances are adozen to one against it3 ever being restored to its_proper owner. Indeed, £0 fre- quent are these misappropriations of bepies that they can only ba sccounted for b that the babiés aro taken by mist: porsons pick up & baby and carry it off as they would & pair of gloves or any other article of small valuo. Tho following sdvertizement, which appesred in the Daily Teleyraph, shows how easily nowadasa baties may be lost: *The ady who beld a baly i Regeas Purk, on Thurs- A ood business, . raturn could not be found, is requested to send the baby to No. 13 Quecn's Square, Bloomsbury. 1f the 12dy’s engagementy will not allow her to Testora the child immediately, perbaps the next timo el is walking in tho direction of Blooms- bury shie will not forget that eho Las s littlo stranger in her possession which might 13 well bo returned to its purents.” —_—— THE STUDY OF DANCING. Some Remarks on Dancing Men. Tho Pall Mall Gazelte has the following: A glance at tho advertisements in_the nowspspors 3t this season of the year revesls a goodly array of offers from professors of the ert of dancing to teach the accomplishment in a fow lessons. Some of these anncuncements appear to imply on the part of the masiers or mistresses of the craft the possession of & secret as mysterions as tho celebrated charm of Mr. Rarey; that is to say, they undertake to tamo the wildest and most uncouth of pupils into tame and ofal performers by a process 80 quick that it ecems to owe its virtue to magic. This, indeed, is tho now modo. The old fashion proscribed thet a lady or gentlemzn should learn to walk before daucing. Nnophgtm! were practi- cally put to tho back board and the goose step. Thoy were mado to march slowly to a tune upon g squeaking kit or-sort of pup-fiddle, and after & severs courae of such treatmont, were at Tougth initiated' by si.x;flo stops into tho manner of moving in a quadrills. Weliave now changed all that. The cramming systom is at work in the dancing school. And as horse trainers ore in tho habit of harnssipg proficieat stagors with animals unaccustomed 1o thie shafts, professors of the dance have discovered tha: nothin; expedites the culturo of & pupl liko baving ‘“tho benefit of his dan, to practico wit] 0Of courso the number of ople cngaged in this calling s & proof of the argo proportion of porsons {i town roquiring tholr services, but no adult will readily confess to taking lossons, any moro than he or she will, if possible, bo dotected dyeing tho hair or din- iug‘ at 1 o'clock. However, thero are both iadies 2ud gentlomien who reaily make dancing a study. Although the winter is the scason of the dancing man's discontent, Lie has a few oppor- tunities of consoling in those off-hand scratch g;rfieu which indefatigable mothers ars not in- ifferent to promoting at any timo of the year ; oves_tho little dance porhaps evon in fact, he moro th lita confusion of the largo sasembly, thero is but scant room for tho proper exerciso of waltz- ipg a8 s fineart. To ba suro the occasion may Do seized in order to exhibit the gifia of pilot- age and stecring, but these are only the minor nicetics of tho dancing man's creft ; thero is nothing ho likes better than on _improvised affair, when at some one's suggestion middle- floor furnituro is thrust into the corners, a con- tre spaco is cstablished under the gaselier, and the piano is made to give tonguo in a quadrille, for the genuine dancing man does not ignore juadrilles. The figures enable him to ovelop latent capacities of fascinating ‘movement which contrast remarkably with the sort of - plantation work in which an ordinaty practitioner endeavors to do what is expected of him. 'Thore is an air of nssurznce aud certainty about his manners which is im- posng. In lances or caledonians he is as com- plotely at iomo 88 s drill-sergosnt smong raw Tocruits, He is mastor of every perploxity, and bi‘ Lis discreet management will* oxtricats puz- zled porformers from the miseries of that ridicu- lous dead-lock which st intervals will occur in quadrilles of o semi-domestic kind. Bat, of course, it is in the round rather than the squere dance that your rigadooning expert chiofly triumphs. Tho whirling dorvish would not got the better of himin wind. ' His hoad is equal to the most limited circle of revolution. His ghoes flash gimultaneonsly with the Flem of his partner’s white boots. Contraut his perfect composure at tho rapid finish of o galop with the discomfiture, to say the least of it, visiblo on_the countonances and the nockties of commonplaco guests. One hos been hanling o blondoe against the music until every step way a torture to both. Another s obliged to stagger to & sofa with & genoral appearance of havin, had the boxing-gloves on with & friend. A thir nas beon compelled to stop afier o single turn in order to e thorequigite apologicsforatorn dress and a disturbed tomper. A fourth, who has contrived to keep up like & men in & dream, when the reprieve of a halt comes drops in & crisis of virtigo into tho bosom of an indignant’ waliflower. Our dancing man serenely twirls throngh it all. If bis partnercan stay, itis 10al- Iy o pretty sight to_note tho perfect rhytim of the spinning, and the easo with which the graud problem of the roverse is solved without a hitch, for the dancing man disdains tho mere alphabet of waltz or galop, and if ho has 2 good partner sou will discover them taking relief from the monotony of the figure by alternating the di- rection of the swing. This can bo done without rink of collision by moving insido tho regular Yound of the danco, describing g smaller circle; Dui it has also tho effect of precipitating an in- clination to giddiness, to which unaccustomed weltzers of tho outside ring may bo subject. “The dancing man is made, not born. It is not in private Amrtios that he acquires 8o thorough a command over his legs, _Ho is the person to whom the professor of calisthenics, etc., both male and female, to whom we have before al- Tuded, lergoly address themselves. Our dancing man froguents tho acadomy of somo distin- guished skipjack, where the professar receives only advanced pupils, Hera our dancing man learns the feats which put you to the blush when your swkward interpretations of Strauss or Godfrey into motion wero contrasted with his.

And, oddly onough, it often happens that neither middle age nor marriage cures the danc- ing man, and gyrations are perfect to the last.

Saicide of 2 Dog. From the New Hacen Regfater. About one week ago, Mr. William Galligan, the faithful night watchman of the s,iml:“-un, Hall, Miller & Co, Britannia Works, of Walling- ford, died. Mr. G was the owner of & valuable bull’ mastit dog, which would receive caresses from those whom he saw almost daily, bug would not form sny friendship for any one but his master. The bruto seldom, if ever, wandered from his home, but the day after his master’s death ho deliberstely walked a mile, and laid bimself on the track of the Hartford & New Haven Railroad, 2s a train was advancing, and a3 consequently crushed to death. 3fen who were in the immediate vicinity used their atmost exertions to call the dog awsay, but their cries were useless, and the poor beast appearcd determined to follow his master, His remains wero iterred near by, A Woman Avenges ithe Death of ¥er JTusband by Shooting an Innocent Mamn.
