The landlady speedily spread the alarm, and, with the aid ‘of other women in the house, did ber utmost to thwart the unhappy man’s desper- ate purpose—administered warm milk, sweet oil, mustard, and even flagelation, in the hope of saving him, but all in vain. The doctor who had been sent for, never came, and in two hours after swallowing tho fatal drug, the young man was a corpse. He seemed to have repented of his.act at onetime, for he willing- ly took the autidotes offered by the women, and afterwards weepingly exclaimed, “It i= late! too late!

Popuar Nawes.— Malakoff” is becoming @ most popular name in France. It is to be givea to a new French steamer, which will be unchristened of its present name in couse- quence Many horses are already in posses sion of it; a book has been published under it, achop has been dedicated to it, and a great coat has been invented and issued in com- memoration of it. An individual or an event which do not give their name to a great coat, fail to attsin the true standard and measure of immortality. They have in Paris, at the present moment, the following description of overcoats: Talma, Menschikoff. Chesterfield, Lord Byron, Inkermanv, Highlander, Coach- mao, Palmerston, Pelisier and Albert. It is proper to say that, since the advent of Mad- ame Ristori, Talmas have been on the decline; the Charivari, indeed, represented a gentle- men as mutilating his wrapper of that name, beeause, as he said, “‘I am tired of ourFreneh actress; [can’t stand anything now but Ital- ians.’? The Highlander is a very late cut, and the sewing is done by machinery. The Malakoff is advertised as impermeable; proba- bly with as mech propriety as the original was declared impregnable.

Fewace Jockey.—The attention attracted by equestrain matches which have recently become a feature at ourcountry fairs will per- haps impart somo interest to the account we are about to give of the appearance of a Indy in 2 similar trial of speed, hair century since en an English race course. It was very min- utely recorded in the sporting journals of the time _In 1804 the Iady of Colonel Thornton, of Yorkshire, England, who waz famed alike for her beauty and fine horsemanship, became the ewner of a valuable horse. of the best blood, called Zivgorilla. Conversing one day with Mr Flint, her brother-in-law, about the mer- its of certain of their horses, the gentleman happened to say something to the disparage- ment of Ziogarilla asa courser, upon which Mrs. Tuornten challenged him to a trial of speed for a considerable wager. The race course at Knavesmire was selected by the parties; and when the day appoiated for this novel contest arrived, a larger con- course of people of all classes assembled on the grounds than had ever before boen witmessed in the County. The contestants made their pearance punctually at the designated kour. Mr Flint wore a Derby cap and tight jacket aud breeches, all of white linen. Mrs. Thorn- ton's costume, as described by berscif, (with a liberality of capital letters not unusual in her iny.) consisted of ‘ta Leopard-colored skirt, ait waiscoat, with plain guilt buttons, bie Cloth Turkish Jacket, and blue Derby cap.”” ‘ook place at four o'clock in the It is doubtfal whether or not there © hundred personsin the assembly who d with Mr. Flint.

Sosevere was the disappointment of ihe people, and so great their :dignation at Mr. Piint’s want of gallantry in beating his fair competitor, that the safety of that con- veman from personal violence was owi 3 presence of a body of the military.—/. Y. ost. afternoon were on Tas Doo wo HAD No Ownen.—We wero traveling through Canada, says a cotemporary, in the winter of 1839, and aftera very long day’s ride, stopped at the Lion Inn; and the contents of the stage, numbering about nine persons, soon gathered around the cheerfal fire. Among the occupants of the room wo obzerved an ill-looking cur, who had shown its wit by taking up its quarters in so com- fortuble an aparament. After afew minates the landiord entered, and obserring the speci- men of the canine species, remarked : “Fine dog, that! Is he yours, sir?’ ap- praling to one of the passengers. “No, sir.’ * Beautifal dog! Yours, sir?’ addressing him: cond. wee the blunt reply. re, Pup. Perhaps he is yours, si:?”” “No,” was the reply. “Very sagacious animal—belongs to you I suppose, sir ?”’ ‘+ No, he doesn’t,’’ was the answer. ‘“* Then he is yours, and you have a treas- ure,” (throwing the animal a cracker.) Nothing of the kind.” ‘Qh! (with a smile) he belongs to you, as a matter of course?”’ aldressing the last pas- Senger. * Wouldn't have him as a gift ”’ ‘ Then you infernal, dirty, mean, contempt- iblewhelp, get out'’? And with that the host gave the dog such a kick as eeut the animal bellowing into the street, amid the roars of the company. Tug Errecrs or Fean.—The extraordinary power exerted by fear over the human mind was exhibited in Vienna, in a remarkable mancer. reccatly. Dr. F.,an eminent physi- cian of Vienna, obtained leave from the local authorities to try his experiment upon the per-on of a prisoner who had been condemned todeath. Accordingly an offer was made to the individual in question, holding out the romise of the remission of his punishment, if e would consent to pags the night in the bed of a patient who, four hours i previously, had been carried off by cholera. The prisoner consented, ond was put to bed, and after the expiration of some tl hours, or less, he was seized with violent vomiting and all the atten- dant symptoms of cholera. He was attended immediately by several physicians, and ulti- mately, being a man of strong and vigorous constitution, was completely re-established. iis astorishment was great when Dr. F. in- formed him that the bed was perfectly clean and pure, and that no cholera patient had ever lain there. A Royat Nose.—At the table where the Emperor of Austria, then the only heir to the throne, was a guest, a question arose as to which was the strongest part of the human frame. One said the leg, because they car- ried the whole body: another spoke upfor the arms because cf the labor they were capable of performing; another said it was the because it directed the whole. When the prince was a) jed to he said that, for his part, he geve his voice in favor of the nose. When a laugh st this odd a Prince had ceased, his highness was ‘or an ex- anation, Hive be plualiy said: “Why, the rine’ of Mi has led my by the nose for the lasttwenty years, and it is as a nose as ever, and not a bit the worse for the exercise.””
