The conversation of the honest laboring man with the capitalist is b:.rdK;u ested in the novel, -end, unless Mr. Daly aken it from still an- other suthor, he deserves credit for a bit of ex- ceedingly dever satire. For instance, ‘when Vifatthes’ Standish calls the ruflians about him ‘thicves, and they spring at him, Kagmoney Jim 'stops them and calmly says: *You call us Thieves; thit's ol you can do.

They are better, a hundred es better, than the turgid and declamatory ctions ofthe cleygymen-dramatists in he Jast century. They are better plays, for il the gbuse bheaped upon them, than any other American can produce ust at the present time.

Some time agoa young girl, a pupil in an up-town Sunday-school, over which one of our dry-goods princes presides as “Superintendent, received a promise from & wealthy gentleman, a patron of ti% £chool, that if she succeeded by July 1 in collecting 1.000,000 postage-stamps he would settle an annuity upon her enfiicient to support her for life.

She obtained the written promise, and now (16 Superintendent i asiating her tapro- care the requisite number to_obtain the smnuity. He has nlready interested such firms as H. B.

At present only four of those who shot at Creedmoor and Dollymount against the Irish are likely to take part m the next matches. Fulton still leads; with_him will probably be Bo- dine, Dukin, and Hepburn. The Afth man will nndoubtedly be Col. W. B. Farwell, of Gen. Shaler's Staff. Col. Farwell was alluded to in a former letter as the coming rific champion. He on several occasions led Fulton in recent matches, and in every competition has been first or second. It is o disputed point among amateurs in this vicinity whether he is not Fulton's superior. Thus far it is rather remarkable that the most famous long-range rifle shots d;velor:d in thie country re- side in and around New York. Western stories of crack shots are plentifnl enough, but the riflemen who make them are somehow non _est. All of the members of the team are able to shoot, haif dollars in the air, and 11 that sort of famons shooting at- tributed fo Western hunters and trappers, but when . daughter by the Ehedive of Egypt, as & wedding, present, are about to be returned to Earope.
