NEw YORE, Aug. 15.—After the gratification experienced in giving utterance to sentiments of such worth sud soul-eluvating beauty that they shall ever live in the hearts of men, per- haps the purest pleasure that a man can taste is in producing on canvas a1 work embodying a great thought,—a creation in which feeling is the salient featnre. For even we practical Americans, who are ungraciously charged by other nations as having become so absorbed in the material man that we have no appreciation of theideal, are subject to spiritual yearnings; and, though necessity ordains that we shall deal more with facts and substances than the older 2nd richer nations of the earth, yet we do find time to seek sources of gratification for the subtlo cravings of the inner principle of our nature, realizing the force of the maxim that *Leason unsoftened by imagination, although it may lead to power, deprives life of pleas- wre.” The advancement of art-culture and art appreciation in this country is fully demonstrated by the Centennfal Loan Exhibition, now befng held at the Acade- my of Design and Metropolitan Art Muscum in this city. This collectionis composed of art- works from the private galleries and individual possessions of citizens, and originated in the suggestion that the City of New York ought to turnishto its Centennial visitors more than or- linary sources of entertainment. The result is A DISPLAY OF PAINTINGS which has never been surpassed on this conti- acut, and the crowds which resort hither, despite ‘he insufferable keat, testify the grest interest hat is being taken by our peopic in the culti- ration of msthetic tastes. At the Academy of Science a work by Gabriel ax, of Munich, inscribed in the catulogue as “The Last Token,” attracts a vast amount of aitwention; and, though it may be faulty 3s a <linical triumph, it certain]y enchains the fm- agination, and calls forth encomiums from every lover of the exalted delineation of fecling. The Ecene representsa small portion of the arena of an amphitheatre, neither spectators nor attendants being visible. A leopard and 2 hyena, each apparently glutted with human flesh, are quarreling in 8 slugeish, inani- mate way, seemingly indificrent ta the presence of a maiden of rarebeanty, at whose feet 2 rose lies, 28 if thrown from the band of some loved one stationed in the galleries above. The firure of this Christian martyr—for such she must be—is of an indescribable grace, which is enhaaced by the simplicity of the drapery, con- sisting of a’white robe, and a gauzy black scarf wound carelessly about her body. ~One hand is oressed agaiust the stone wall of the arena as il to support ber trembliug limbs, while her up- turned face is radiant with an expression of in- eflable Jove and lingering desire, 25 her eyes— Dark a8 the raven wing of night— scem to meet the burning gaze of him who of- fers this rose us the last token of his undying aflection. For, a grating is raised at one side of the amphitheatre, and through the opening A THIRD WILD BEAST Is entering stealthily, Lis green, malignant eves fixed upon his youthtul victim, and Lis cat-like bearing acquainiting the spell-bound spectator with theawfut fate awaiting the all-unconscious g, The great chamn of 1bis paiting , 35 I have intimated before, that it offcrs such a field of study for the imagination. I is all well enough to admire broows, which have reduired three days to paint, as in the case of Girard Duow, and portraits of old men and women having the details worked up with such scrupulous nicety that the pores of the skin and Lhe down on theface must be exawined with a glass in order to be appreciated, s in the case of Denner; yet such works are but samples of common art, for, while we appreciate the dex- terity of the painter, we are all forced to admit that’a broom is nothing but a broom after all, aud forms but 2 sorry associate for the Fancy; while microscopical investigations, 1 belicve, have more todo with scicuce than art. High art demands a loftier interpretation than dever anitation, and it can never bea complete ex- jon unless it appeals to what is spiritual in J. L. GEROME'S ** CRUCIFIXION,” which called forth such a tempest of criticism upon its arrival in this clty, 3 another painting wlmch clnims & deal of attention from the pub- lic. The novel treatment of this awful subject is #0o well koown that a description would be suj erfluous. The shadows of the three crosses, ~lich a weird light causes to fall across the cground, are terribly impressive, while 7rom mouths of the delcidal crew. filing down the antam side leading from Gulgotha to the “y shrontled in threafening darkucse, scem to swianate that jeering blasphemy: *1 thou be she Sou of God, come down from the cross!™ Chere is no theatrical display of colors, for the jizits and shadows are deverly managed. The ‘rea:ing obscurity and the crimson tinge to the ouds fn the left background serve to belghten ‘be tragic character of the work, in !Fiw of the conspicuous pature of these three huunting shadows, they failed to make ruy impression on the minds of an apparently futellizent party of ladics and gentlemen who were present oue day last weck.” After search- ingr in every square”inch of the canvas for an unconscivnable length of time, AND NO CROSS BEING FOUND, . the work was unanimously pronounced a fafl- ure as a * Cracitixion,” while 2 lisping damsel who graced the party pronounced the picture very much like the play of * Hamict™ with Ziamlet left out,—a statement which some wiil be ungracious enoughito clalm as being of ques- tionable originality. . Besides this picture, the admirers of Gerome may be pleased to know that that strange com- positiun of neutral tints, ** The Lion on Guard,” is also Liere, a5 well as “ The Gladiators,” and his most recent work of irwrmnue, “The Race of the Charioteers.” The 1ast two men- toned are well known to the public by reason Le fine engravings of them which have been s0 much admired in every part of the country. This mightalsobesaidof his % Deatl of Casar;” & larger work which hangs in the Metropolitan Art Mascum, and is from the collection of John Tavlor Johnston, Ese. . Hans Makart, who deals with colors so royal- Iy, and can create a Crimson, Like to the dying day on Caucasus, Wiers sunact Hta The caow with rosy shadows, is represented by his “Falstall in the Basket,” which, though & spirited eflort, is dizappointing atter uch & work 85 his magnificent “ Cleo- patra,” which was exhibited at the Odcon Gal- lery in Munich last year. "he characteristic excellency of TUE FRENCE ALTIST BOUGUEREAT is his intunse feeling of the loveliness of infan- cv. The very atmosphere aboat his baby crea- tions js infused with a spirit of such beauty and love thst the most unpretending lover of art must Become enthusiastic over his dimpled bits of bumanity. His * Charity” is, perbaps, the finest of Lis works on exhibition here, though nis “ Motlier and Child,” which hangs opposite, s suffused with a tenderness that siuks into one’s very soul. Alex Cabanel in his exquisite “Echo,” "and “The Esxpulsion of Eye from Paradise,” cdebrated for its wounderful ilesh tones, shows the true artist in his treatment > the rpude, in which not ‘passion, but ‘ntellect, is appealed to. Among the ple wures of Zamacois, the two which receive she nost admiration _are - indisputably ais *“Education of a Young Prince,” and “ The Return to the Convent,” tie latter being unut- :crably fuony by reason of an irascible old monk, who cems to Lave lost all patience with bis long-eared beast’s stubliornuess, aud with scarlet face the holy man has statioued himeelf defure the mule, and proceeds to drag the ob- stinate beast along by the reins, 2 process not relished by ' THE EXASPERATING ANTMA who plants his four feet resolutely in the gronnd, and, while fnsisting, upsets his pan- niers, whereupon pumpkins, ¢gis, and bottles of wine meet_ with total aneuulation, and an uufortunate live duck, tied to the trappings by one leg, Ecems to be resenting Ler ill-treatneat by violently fluttering her wings,and giving veot to the most ear-splitting quacks. The faces of this holy man’s comnrades are a perfect it outline of the sun as secn through the in- . study. Some are holding their sides and Jaugh- ing immoderately at the mishap. Others are smiling in an indiferent gort of a way, and seem disposed to go on with their own atlairs. One old chap gazes in a bewildered manner through his glasscs, asif be were unable to conjecture what the_excitement was all about. A second regards the scene ina stern, severe way, as if there were no excuse for such a disturbance, while a third bears an expression of disgust on his_rugged countenance which seems to say, “IWhat a fool!"—though perbaps this is an ejaculation not countenanced by monastic dis- cplive. The portrayal of character in this painting is something amazing; and, suggesting as it dots more than it represents, one van ever recur to it and find in it some new charm. Visitors to the Paris Sulon last season will doubtless recommize au_ old friend in “Le Bagage of Croquemitaine ” by Lobrichon, which is from the collcction of ex-Gov. D. Mor- gan. Every one know tnat *‘Croquemitaine is A SORT OF A FRENCH HOBGOBLLY, whose duty it isto carry off all naughty boys and girls. "In the picture this corrective old crony scems to have placed his basket and its contents against a brick wall, while he evident- Iy has absented himselt on some duty or other. The pannier contains a quartette of youngsters arrested apparently in & state of incipient nuutiny, while a tiny little chap, boasting but a microscopical shirt for drapery, lics disconso- lately outside of the basket, and appears unde- cided whether to cry or Xac‘;' the matter boldly. “Passion in excess is always feminine,” said yrom, and in thorough concurrence with this idea the artist has made a little girl the crown- ing feature of this collection of naughtiness. Her dainty white cap stands awry on her tul bled hair, and in her arms she holds, head down- ‘wards, a much-abused doll, while with tingers in her mouth and tears in her eyes she looks out of the picture at the spectator in a wiliful, stub- vay that makes one fairly ache to box her ears. On her right is a chubby-faced boy who looks wholly incapable of anything very bad. ‘The violent manner in which he is bawling is in marked contrast to the quict demeauor of a lad on the left, who evidently is philosophical enough to accept the inevitable gracefully, and appears to be amusing himsell in contemplating _the discomtiture of his companions. There is oue other fizure in the picturc—a charming little fellow, with long hair and meek eyes. 1le has been hiding his face in his hands, which are pressed against the back of the pannier, and is peering out of one eye as if to ascertain if there were any wit- nesses to his disgrace. Such a pleasing subject naturally calls forth any amount of admiration, while the artist has proven by this work how well versed he is in the whims and follics of the little ones. X Without referring to the noteworthf' paint- ings of Verboecklioven, Couture, Achenbach, Church, the three Bonheurs, Gifford, Troyon, Kensett, Vernet, aud a host of other celebrated names, let us take alook at the “Slave Ship” of Tarner’s, which occupies the position of honor at the Metropolitan Muscum of Art, and is classed as his chey’ d'eurre. There is a great satisfaction in seeing his masterpiece, and Dhav- ing dune with it; for after having studied his works which hang in such profusion in the Na- tioual Gallery in London, one becomes pos- sessed of the firm conviction that though an appreciative few may characterize his creations as testifying to a marvelous sense of harmony in drawing, an inimitable knowledge of landscape, and a wonderful comprehension of the variety of Nature, to the mass his paint- ings 28 a whole will ever be unintelligiblé con- glomerations of color, while every sane man must pronounce such pictures as ‘hang in the “ Later Turner Gallery * veritable pigmental incubi. IT 15 GENERALLY CONCEDED, and to my mind is_an unquestionable fact, that his ** Sun Rising in a Mist over the Sea,” and his ** Carthage ' (both of which, according to the direction of his own last will, are hung in the midst of the ¢ Claudes in the National Gallery), arethe tinest of his productions; yet as ever the coloring is faulty, and his aspirations to outdo the * painter of the grand clements of nature ”’ are puinfully apparent. The * Slave Ship,” which was the chief Academy picture of the Exbibition of 1840, is a chaotic work, char- acterized by un appalling arrayof solid pigments, and by a stern observance of that pritciple of art which allows the introduction of every de- tail which might exist in nature under the most favorable circumstances, The ocean fs literally packed with sea-monsters of forms and hues which would astonish an ichthyologist, while manacled limbs, ghastly corpses, gulls, flying-fish, and 5 ship in the background,forn a most bewildering ensemble, which is rendered the more puzzling by the sct- ting san, that (as Ruskin expresses itinhispane- yric) ¢ incarnadines the multitudinous waye!’”” fi’ut enough of brush and pallet for this time: yet, whilé we are in the atmosphere of art, let us pay our devoirs to the “muse of the twin- Kling feet,” for *‘Lo, where they come already I perceive ‘The reeking odors of the verfumed trains, And sce the bright gems of the glittering girls,” Perhaps it may sectn inconsistent to hail Terpsichore upon the presentation of Byron's rowmantic york, ~¢ BARDANAPALUS,™ which being a historical tragedy is more fitly classed among the worlks inspired by Melpom- enc. Yet, as produced at Booth’s Theatre last evening, the tragic element was so greatly sub- ordinated to spectacular display and ballet evo- lutions, that the mournful muse was forced to abdicate in favor of her more cheer- ful and agile sis! TUpon giving to the world uis amet ical account of the luxurious reigrn and tragic end of Assyria’s last Kinge, Byron stated explicitly that the drama was not suited to be performed on the stage; and, notwithstanding that, Mr. Charles Calvert informs us that, in his excisions and curtaii- ments found necssary for the successful _stage representation of this drama he hus studiously endeavored to give it o setting worthy of its merit, and bas touched one of the happiest dramatic effects of Byron's genius with no ir- reverent hand, we must still insist that, though fine asa _poem, as s play *Sardanapalus? is a faflure. ‘Then, again, to a lover of the genius ‘of the author of **Don Juan™ it is difticult to become reconciled to having his inspired verse utilized for the purpose of connecting a seri of pageants, scenic cffvets, and ballet divertisse- ments. 1appeal to the audience present last night for indorsement to my statement that his beautiful lines were spouted in an indifferent, spiritless fashion that iwpressed no ome with toe sentiment expressed. cxcept, perhaps, the ¢ pit, 7 which, as usual, took a morbid delight in" vociferously applauding any lines tnat savored of even & suspicion of virtue. Indeed, how could the actors become engendered with cuthusiasin, fecling as they did that no heed was given to what they uticred,and knowing that the auditorium was thronged with a gaping crowd waiting fur grand processious and gor- reous dresses” which should eclipse the splen- ors of the ** Black Crook and * White Fawn 7§ SPECTACCLARLY CONSIDEKED, is u great success, the paraphernalia oud stuge seitings being gotten up seemingly regardléss of sxpeuse, aud marked by an Oricutal exuberance of 1ancy which is intoXicat- hffi to the eye. The dancing is good, though Mlle. Bartoletti~the *‘renowned premiere daun- scuse assuluta,” as the play-bilis choose to term her—secids but a sorry caperer after Bon- fantl and Saugalli. Perhaps it would be unfair to judge of Burtoletti’s ability by wmerely seeing Ler last night, for she was 50 engrossed in her efforts to pull up * the infinitesimal waist of her dress that her limbs did wot receive a due amount of attention. The incidental music being a melange of ip\)p\xlm- airs, calls for 10 especial mentlon, but it must be said that the choruses were rendered atrociousty; and if the ancient peon sung in the first” act is a fair saple of the oldest musical compositions, T must state uoreservedly that Wagner certainly 08: more ‘*‘celestial fire? than did ionysius Iambus. AS TO THE SCENERT, it was all very fine. In the first act, the curtain, upon rising, discloses the roval palace of Nine. veh, as secu from the opposite bank ot the Ti- is, where are situsted the pleasure-zarde fowards the close of the act the moon rises over the palace, reflecting itself in the river, along which a sumptuous galley, bearing Sar- danapalus, his Jonic slave yrrid, and a galaxy of dameelsand courtiers, xlides on its Way 1o the midnight festival in the Hall of Nimrod. It wais a scene of fudescribable beauty, fairly tak- ing the audicnce by storm. The Summér pal- ace, called the Pavilion, with its curious inscrip- tions, and entrances formed by winged, buman-headed lious, is revealed to the spectators in the secoud act, while the thind lays before the audicnce the royal magnificence” of the Grand Hall of Nimrod, with its three thrones of erystal, of ivory, and of gold, its emblems of the gods, and winged lions supporting the massive roof of inlaid cedar beams, During the continuance of this act a curtain is drawn, disclosing the two oppos- ing parties in deadly conflict.—a battle tabfeau ‘whicnt was received with shouts of applause. P4E CROWNING TRIGMPI of scenic effect §s naturally reserved for the finale, where the servants of Sardanapalus build 3 buge funeral ‘pyre of furniture, equipage, luxurious stuffs, and royal treasure, and in this blaze of magnilicence the King and his favorite slave, Myrrha, perish in onc another’s arms. The pile is consumed, the ponderous walls suc- cumb to the ficry clement, and fall with deafen~ ing thunder, and'as the smoke rolls away the palace is scen,—an unsightly hesp of ruins. As the vast 2udience slowly disentangled it~ self after midnighs, there wasmuch said Tor and in disfavor of tiis last spectacular play, though all conceded that it would unquestion- the play ably enjoy a long run, by reason of its'splendid whatever public opinion may be, it is certainly very apparent that instead of a Calvert to twist finc picces of poetry into a framework fora sficnmde. we need 2 Noverre to elevate the character of the ballet. The plump little Mile. Stickel, who carried off the hopors last night, simply because she could kick like a cart horse, and bounce like a kangaroo, would do well to remember that her art is susceptible of poet- ical conceptions; and that Elssler and Taglioni ‘won their laurels not from accomplishing gym- nastic feats, but by a graceful preseuce and full appreciation of tlie fact that refined sentiment could be portrayed by thelr art, as well as by poetry, painting, sculpture, and music. This Pplay has the same theme as TIE GRAND BALLET D’ACTION “Sardnapal,” which has created such a furore in the Prussian Capital. Alternating, as it did last winter, with the superb operatic perform- ances for which Berlin is so_justly famous, it not only ealled forth a crowded house, but an intelligentaudience. The peerless ' Grantzow ™ appeared in the role of Myrrha, in which her graceful pantomime, and her sylph-like dancing, were eloquent beyond the realin of words. And ‘though it would be an ungrateful task to cowm- pare the acting of Agnes Booth (who plaved _Uyrrha last uight) with the dancing of Mile. Grantzow, still it was impossible to enfoy the one, with the delightful impressions mude by the other still in one’s mind. But let us hope that, instead of any more rearrangements of lit- erary effurts that are fine enough in themselves, but appear mere travesties when forced into an uncongevial atuosphere, we may soon have introduced into this country some of those captivating ballets, which, across the water, are a recognized necessity.

Woes of a Female Bather Whose Stocking Cams Down, THE BALD-HEADED TYRANT. Oh! the quieteat home on earth had I, No thourht of trouble, no hint of care; Like a dream of pleasnre the days flew by, And Peace liad folded her pinions there. But one day there joned in our houschold band A bald-ncaded tyrant from No-man's-lend. Oh! the deepot came in the dead of night, And no one ventrred to ask him why: Like slaves we trembled before his might, Our hearts stood still when we heard him cry; For never a soul could hig power withatand, That bald-headed tyrant from No-man's-land. T ordered us hero and he sent us there— Though never & word conld his small lips speak— With hie toothless gums and his vacant stare, And his helpless fimbs so frail and weak, Till I cried, in 4 voice of stern command, *:Go up, thou bald head from No-man's-land 1" But his abject slaves they tarned on me; Like the bears in Scripture they'd rend me thore, The while they worshiped with bended knee This ruthless wretch with the missing bair; For he rules them all with relentless hand, This bald-headed tyrant from No-man's-land. Then Efiflmhell for help in every chime, For peace had fled from my dwelling now, Till I finully thought of old Father Time, And low before him I made my bow. *£Wilt thou dehever me out of his hand, This bald-headed tyrant from No-man's-land1” 0ld Time he looked with a puzzled stare, And a smile came over his features grim, *“1ll take the tyrant under my csre: Watch what my hour-glass does to him. The veriest humbng that ever was planned 1s this same bald-head from No-man's-land." 01d Time is doing his work full well— Much less of might does the tyrnt wield: But, ah! with sorrow my heart will swell And sad tears fall as I sce bim yleld. Could I stay the touch of the shriveled hand, Twould keep the bald-head from No-man's-land. For the loss of peace I have ceased to care; Like other vassals, I've learned, forsooth, To love the wretch who forgot his hair And hurried along withouit a tosth, And he rules me, too, with his tiny hand, This bald-headed tyrant from No-man’s-land. —AMary E.

A gentleman not unconneeted with the Boston press was in St, Louis recently (says the Repub- lican, of the latter city), and while here confided to a friend the detalls of an alventure in a Bos- ton hotel 8o remarkable as to deserve a life in print. The story Is brief, but with an immense moral as showing how in same thingslovely woman will always come to thx relief of a sister in distruss to outwit the tyrani man. The jour- nalist above referred to, stopping at the hotel, & private one, where the guests were accustomed tothe entire freedom of the house, felt late one might the imperative necessity of eating some fruit before retiring. It was too late to send out to buy any; le did not ,want to arouse the servants of tlie house at so late an hour. and yet fruit or preserves or something toothsome of the kind seemedto him a personal necessity. He kuew where the store-room was, knew that the door was left open, and finally resolved to go down quietly and prig enough sweetmeats to satisfy this nced. No sooner ‘was the thought conccived than acted upon, and. withiu five minutes he was in the storcroom hooking preserves out of a jar and enjoying himself immensely in_satisfying the craving which had come upon him. For a few minates the enjoyment of the man at the preserves was complete. Then he was startled by alight, swift step in the hall, there was & whish and rustle of garments, the door opened suddenly, and some one bounded in with such suddenuess as, coming squarely azainst th¢ form or the midnight raider, to Knock bim half way across the room, and fairly off his feet. Leaping up at once, he closed with his unconscious assailant to be startled by a sub- dued shrick andto find that he had captured a woman! Further, aud more terrible_still, he discovered that the plump form of the lady who had wanted eomething to eat as well as he was clad only in a night-dress. _Still, though trying, the occasion Wwas one not of ummixed horror by any means, and in a8 momen: the gentieman's Ecrza returned and his curiosity rose to fever eat. “Who is thisi” he demanded of the plump figure in his arms. No answer. “ Who is it?"” ne repeated. *You'll not get out of this until you tell.” Still no answer, but astrugsle in the darkness, the plump figure trying hard to get away. Again the query was repeated, with equal lack_ of response, but this time & resounding slapin the fuce from a hand that was doubticss pretty, but which hit with decided force, was the reward of the questioner. He was put on s mettle at one. * You think inu’ll t off unknovn! We'llsee about that !’ e exclaimed. “I've a device that'll work, 1 think.” And then, after a silent and deter- mined struggie, he caught a little bit of the lady’s right cheek between his teeth and bit it, ~not badly so as to break the velvety skin, but sufficiently hard to leave a mark which he knew could not: disappear for a day or two, Then he released his unknown prisoner, and she fled ilke the wind along the pussage, disappearing in some room impossible to locate in the dark- ness. The next morning the gentleman with a mys- tery to solve came down to breakfast'early. No ladies bad yet appeared, but at his tuble were one or two intimate male friends, and to them he confided the story of hisadventure in the night, relating also the means he had taken to secure the identification of the unknown lady. The most intense curiosity at once prevailed at the table, and the advent of the ladies was awaited With an impatience scarcely to be con- trolled. Five minutes Inter the beile of the hotel entered demurely, glided across the room and seated hersclf for breakfast. Eager cyes followed her, and, as her face was fairly exposed, there was a sensation among the gentlemen. Upon her riglit, clicek was a. strip of court~plaster an inchfong! Theexcited men exchanged ziances and whispers and smiles. The mystery was solved carly. But just then another lady en- tered, this time a dignificd matron. As she scated herself there was disclosed upon ber right cheek a piece of conrt-plaster identical in apgcarmcc with that upon the face of the belle! Another and another lady entered. Upon the right cheek of every one of them ap- peared a piece of court-plaster. The tables filied up, and not a lady at one of them but wore court-plaster on the right cheek! And then the gentlemen looking coufidently for a revelation wilted. They cownprehended the situation. The lady who had been captured in the night had condded her extremity to her friends, aud they had come to the rescuc to outwit male humani- ty. They had succeeded, too. The discomfited men at that particular table knew that beneath one of the many pieces of court-plaster in the .room were hidden the marks of tecth, but which was the identical bit of court-plaster they could not tell. And they never learned. MR. ROBINSON’S MONUMENT. Mr. Robinson (says the Philadelphia Bulletin) went out on the cemetery on the day after the fnterment of his wife, and had an interview with the Superintendent. “What are your regulations in regard to monuments in this cemeteryl” asked Mr. Robinson. *Well, we hardly have any special rules. - We let people do pretty much as they pleasc.” “You worldn't make a fuss,” sald Mr. Rob- inson, “if aman should pat up something orig- inal and novel over a grave, now would you? Something calculated to attract attentivn.” “N-n-no, I guess not. What have yom in view?” . “1¥ell, you see, Harriet was an uncommon patriotic wyoman; made socks for the soldiers during the War, and was all the time knitting fiddle-faddle things for sanitary fairs, and I thought maybe 1'd get her up some kind of & red, white, ard bluc monument, with a brass eale on top and the American flag fiying from apole. Perhaps I might put ‘Hzil Columbia ’ in gilt letters ou the stone one side, and o pic- ture of Gen. Washington holdinz the Declara- tion of Independence in his haud on the other. How does that strike you?”? It would be unique, anyhow.” “But what I wanted to see you shout particu- larly was to know about the size. Now would you allow me to make the monument about 50 feet hizh of some solidlk:\iul _ofesyt’ufi that'd ove eround a little picce. Epfle?)‘}!,m;:rsl!hclas’pusc so! It will be costly though."” +0Oh, I don't mind the cost. What I want is to get weight in the material so’s it'll set heavy on the ground and stay there.” " “You must have thought a great deal o Mrs, Robinson to expend so much money on her.” “Well, betwixt you and me, that isn’t exact- lyit. Shewas one of those restless, oneasy wouen that never’d stay_quiet when you want- ed her to, and it occurred to me that maybe something mizht happen to resuscitate her, and, to teil you the honest truth, my idea was to run up some kind of & monument tbat'd hold her down permanent; keep her there, you under- stand. I don’t want her bustling about, now that she’s stowed away as dead.” “You are probably not aware that we have introduced an alarm here, which connects the vaults with the office, so that if a person re- tu:ns to life out of a trance we can at oncego to the rescue. ‘{-fi I,l‘obinson. you know, is 1n 8 vault temporarily. “You dgn’t mé‘nn to_say,” exclaimed Robin- son, ¢ that’s she’s got one of the alurms any- where ncar her?” # Certainly she has.” “See here, now, 1 want to say something to you in private. The honest fact is. I'm about to marry the Widder Jones, aud if I can make any littie arrangement with you to snip off that wire for a few days antil Mrs. Robinson is thor- ouzhly dead, it’ll be money in your pocket.” “Can't do it, sir.” “Because you sec for yoursclf how thunder- ing embarrassing it's going to be if the old lady should come to and begin'to stir_around just after me aud Mrs. Joues were comfortably mar- ried. Now wouldn’t it? Look at it ina com- mon sense light. So if you could muffle up that machine somchow, or “give me some kind of & written guarantec thut she won't resurrect, it’1l be regarded as a personal favor. Do they ever come to?*! “Oue old lady revived last week, after shehad been in the vauit three days.” %y graclous, man, you take my breathaway [ Why, it’s awful| Upon the whole, I believe L1l run Mrs. Robinson outand bury her in the Methodist burying-ground. I'l send over a man for her_tlis ‘afternoon, and put her in a hole 40 feet deep. I never did like these ceme- terics anyway with their new-fangled notions. So you be ready to ship her off when that fellow comes with the wagon.” . Robinson is now entombed securely,and ones and Robinsori are one. PREVENTING A WEDDING. How a Virginia girl prevented her father’s second marrfaze fs thus described by the Rich- mond Whig: Some months since, an elderly gentleman, highly respected, and a widower, met with 2 widow who lives in the upper part of the city. The acquaintance soon ripened into friendship, aud the friends of the gentleman were surprised to sec him riding with the young widow in his buggy. The next uews that reacn- ed themn was an invitation to be present at his wedding, which would be private, and would take place at the lady's house. The tine for the ceremony was last Wednesday. It scems that the gentieman thus contemplating matrimony is the father of a voung lady who, until a” few days before the time fixed for tbe wedding, had been kept in ismorance of the whole affair. Her father told her that he intended to marry agaio, and went on to praise the lady who would be her step- mother. The intclligence shocked the young lady. She had pot dreamed of such a thing. Shé at once protested st the proposed match—would not hear of it. She did more than this—she sent for several of the intimate friends of her father, and then, in their pres- encey earnestly appealed to him to break off the match. The Eem eman is very much attached to his daughter, but for a time he re- sisted all her pleadings. The young lady declared she would Ieave the ~house the instant the widow entered it. Her grief at the resistance of her father was great, and she faint- cd several times. Fer screams so0n brought in the wholo neighborhood. Finally, she succeed- ed in making him promise that he would not marry the widow, and made him give her the assurance in the presence of several of his friends. Although the minister had been spok- en to, the time fixed, and arrangements made for the wedding Wednesday night, it did not come off. Some of the invited guests asgem- bled at the house, but there was nothing about it to indicate that'a wedding would take place, and, marveling much, they left. It is to be pg_:sumud now that the ceremony will not come o HER STOCKING CAME DOWX. A girl went into the surf this morning (says a Ietter from Fire Island) who was the most ut- terly miserable and dejected object I ever laid eyes upon. She looked very well as she came down from tke bathing-houscs, for her dress was neat and ber hair had been tastefully bound by a silk bandkerchief after the Eastern turban style, but she bad no sooner sct foot in the wa- ter than one of lier stockings came down. I don’t know that I ought tv mention it, but it did. The wretchedness of that girl from that moment, and the folly of her! Instead of re- tracing her steps to the bathing-house and se- curiny the necded article to keep it up, she frantically secks to sustain it in position by such weak devices as tucking it under the band of the trowsers of her bathing dress. Nothing could be more absurd; of course it comes down again and again, and aggravates her natural agony at belng in the water at all (for she is so timid that she never leaves go of the rope, and nearly shricks whenever a breaker sends 1ts remnants up to her, as she stands like a distressed chicken on her other_lez, on the extreme cdxe of the water). She swallows some salt water, gasping, as she submerges her head, and then her stocking comes down again, and she clutches for it frantically, and finally, desperate she retires from the scene of her tri- umphs, a most lamentable object. Of course such an oceurrence a8 this, coming down of a stocking, would not seriously embarrass any girl of spirit. She would have taken it oif pmbnb}f’ and then plunged into the waves had she died for it; not stood Iudicrously on one leg by the rope while the heartless ;people on ghore smiled. ¢“SUPPOSE THEY SHOULD SEE TS,” Miss Smith und her sister, Mrs. Jones, arc not well built (says a Paris paper); indeed, if they had been constructed after plans by Bivard the Elder, the famous barricade architect, they could not be worse. They reached Trouville, yesterday, and prepared to bathe. When they :u::;-}x:d the beach, lo, it was crowded with spec- ators. ** 0, I never can go in,” said MissSmith, be- tor&nll those people. Suppose they should see us 4 Well, suppose theydo?" replicd her marricd siscer, who has the courage of her defects; ‘5o much'the worse for them.” AN OSCULATORY BARGAIN. Inthe northpart of Des Moines, as a veracious reporter of the Register reports, a young lady and a young man get on the steps of a Sunday evening and enter into a contract. For each shaoting-star he is to receive a kiss. On one of these interesting oevasions a half-hour passed away and not a solitary star shot across the sky. But after a while the’ cherry lips of the young lady parted and she called hér young man’s at- tention to the flying meteors that were about to escape Lis observavion; then she got to calling his attention to the lightaing-bugs, and finally got him down to steady work on_the light of a lantern & man was carrying about toe depot where the trains were switching. Artless girl! DOWN STREET. A woman balted at the gateof ayardon Brush street Tuesday evening (says the Detroit Free Press), and asked a girl 9 or 10 years of age if her mother was at home. “No, marm—she's gone down street,” was the reply. “1s that your father fa the house? “No, marm; father's gone down street to bring mother home.” ¢ Well, where's your brother William, then?™ “Billi Oh, he's gone down street to see fair play!” was the artless reply. FEM] E NOTES. 1t is sald by those who profess to know, that a girl in the presence of her beau will leave half her jee-cream, and afterwards sneak into the cellar and eat seven cucumber-pickles and two- thirds of a cranberry-pie. “What kind of a picture would you Miss#” inquired a Newark pnucog);nphe;:méfr a young lady customer. “Well,” was the reply, *takeme With an cxpression as if I were writ- ing a poem on the Centennial,” The newest collar is called the * Safety.” It is so named from the fact that it is high enough for a man Wwho Wears one to crawl uo behind it and hide when his wife steps in at the office to inquire whether he mailed her letters. This is the season when 2 man follows the gwl{ being wnom ke adores to a summer- hotel, and sees her cating green corn on the cob wita lt)o_ll.\ lmm];:;:cn{‘hu duinuehmble, and im- mediately pays his and goes hy R {pediniu Ly B lome and takes An amusing bit of information about the flat Japanese fans, which are sent in such quantities to this eountry, is, that they are used exclusive- 1y by women, it being thought effeminate to have thomnsed by men. Shorem loy only folding fans, such as ladies use in the United States. It has been observed by frequenters of water- ing-places that the female swimmer never learns to use her other limbs as gracefully as she does her arms. This fact shouid be considered by tue strong-minded sisteriood as natural proof that lovely woman's mission is to embrace and not to kick.—St. Louis Lepublican. A timid-looking little man, having a bare spot on the side of his head, came out on the stoop, a few evenings ago, with a Centennial flag in his hand, to hurrah for his favorite candidate, but a5 his wife happened to thrust her head out of the window at that moment, he suddenly checked himself, and asked, * Jane, dear, who is mycan- didate? The first sceds of matrimonial discord are usnally sown immediately after going to house- keeping. It is not because the tender wave of harinony no longer pulsates from soul to soul. It is because she insists on _his dolng the mar- keting immediately after breakfast, on a full stomich, when he doesn’t carc whether he has a canvas-back duck or a boiled dish-rag for the next meal. The man who, weary of his wife’s absence on a visit to her mother, had a_photoaraph of his house taken with himself and his neighbor’s wife standing on the porch, which he sent to his better-half, hus a rival in the ono who simply saw that his letter contained, as if by accident, ared nair about thrce feet long. = His wife wouldn’t have waited for the next train to get home, could she have sent herself by telegraph.

San Francisco Chronicle. John Block, an_elderly gentleman of frate temperament, residing on Stockton street, near Pacific, has been greatly harassed of fate by the steuch proceediug from a shanty in é) -oximity to his dwelling, and occupied by a Chinuman. The aggrieved German sought to probe the mut- ter carefully, and applicd a sledge-bammer fist upon the door of the shanty. The inmate did not appear. to be desirous of rccel\'in%vnslwrs, but cried out gruflly, ‘Wha' for? No goot. You go hell.” “Mr. Block’s temper arose and he [)rupgncd the door open with his shoulder, and fell fu upon the floor in o heap. When he gath- cred _himself up again he was exceedingly an- noyed to discover the Chinaman engaged in scraping the half-dried pieces of flesh from hu- man bones. Ile was gazing in horror, motion- Iess and specchless, at the work of the ogre, when the latter arose and tossed him out on the idewalk, accelerating his movements with a knife. The Chinaman was arrested on Block’s complaint and charged with sssault with a kuife. The case came up yesterday in the Po- lice Court. It appeared that the Chinaman's business is to prepare the bones of deceased Chinamen for trapsmission to China. The charge against the Chinaman was dismissed, as Block had provoked the assault.
