The Tunisan embassy is described as follows: " Fancy five tawny-fac^ " biack-ey?d human beings, short and stout, with moustaches cut iu the shape of a half-moon, each wearing a tasseled turban on his head, instead of a hat, and the rest of their persons dressed in Christian clothes, and you will have some idea of the personal appearance of these ambassadors from the Barbary coast." Mr. Glough says we sometimes wonder at the incivility of railroad conductors; while if we know all the petty annoyances to which they are subjected, and the silly questions I constantly asked of them by ignor- | ant, stupid and nervous people, the j .wonder would be that they can be civil at all. The humorous Artemus Ward, during his travels, took occasion to inform the Shakers, that "tho world revolves on its own axletree once in twenty-four hours, subject to the Constitution of the United States.'" HIDEOUS.-Here is an eruption from Mr. Punch: Why did the Greeks do more than any other nation*to retard the progress of the fine arts? Because they supplied lots of Phidias (of hideous) statues. A company boring for oil in Kansas, have struck a fluid which looks like milk, which puzzles them greatly. They have been unable thus far to churn it into butter. Woman is like ivy-the more you are ruined the closer she will cling to you. A vile bachelor adds : 1 'Ivy is like woman-the more it clings to you the more you are ruined. Poor rule that won't work both ways." The grave announcement that the Prince Imperial will hereafter dine with his mother and not in the nursery, occupies a prominent place in the French Court Journal. A youngster of fourteen years, and his "sweetheart," two years younger, recently sloped from Wallingford, Connecticut. The revolting bachelors in New York decided at their meeting that $2,850 was the lowest cost of main taming a wife. An old lady being asked to sub? scribe to a newspaper, declined, on the ground that when she wanted news she manufactured it. When yon are whistling in a print? ing office, and they say "louder," don't you do it. Commissioner's Sale. IN EQUITY-YORK DISTRICT.

MESSRS. HERRING A Co.-GENTLEMEN: Though the destruction of the American Museum has proved a serious loss to my? self and the public. ? am happy to verity the old adage, that 'Tt's an ill wind that blows nobody good," and, consequently, congratulate you that your well known safes have again demonstrated their supe? rior tire-proof qualities in an ordeal of un? usual severity. Tho safe you made for me some time ago was in the office of the Museum, on tho second floor, back part of the building, and in the hottest of the tire. After twenty-four hours of trial, it was found among the debris, and on opening it this day has yielded up its contents in very good order-books, papers, policies of insurance, bank bills, all in condition for immediate uso, and a noble commentary on the trustworthiness of Herring's Fire Proof Safe.
