"Who Peso Dese Local Editors ?"
The Crnoinniatti Times has the following:
Defceotive Larry Hazen was met yesterday
by a keeper of a beer saloon, on Vine
street, over the canal, who was laboring under
considerable apparent ezoitement. Reoogniiing
Hasen, he stepped np to him with
the :
"Who pese dese wot yon calls local editors?"
(They pick up items," said the officer,
"deadhead into shows, eto."
"Dey piok np items. I think so. Is
gold watches items ? Is sixty dollar items ?
Hey?
He was asked to explain what be meant,
whioh he diu as follows :
"Pis morning I was drinkin' lager mit
mine friends all the while in mine saloon,
and in gomes a yonng man wat dere never
was already?and he polls out a leetle
sheepskin pook and lead, pencil, and he
says he pees looal editors, and be wants me
to tell him all vot there was pont the row
mit mine beer saloon last night.
- * % ? f t_
"118X8 mm woe noa onasiness ue was
to that row, by do, what kind o'right f
"And be says be report amsin de papers.
So I tell him all vot I don't know pout the
rows vot some tarn rowdies tries to kick
oat of mine saloon last nigbt. And mind
poarders gets around and they dells more
tings vot I recollects, and de nice yoang
man, he stioks em down in bis sheepskin
pook mit his lead pencil. Den be drinks
glass lager, whiob he don't let himself pay
for, py tam, (felt sore as never was, be one
little neswpaper fellow when he did'nt make
pay mit my lager; bat dat makes notting
tiffcrence; der's no brinciple in dat,) and
den be goes oat, and I don't sees him again
all de wile.
"Den one of my poaders he finds himself
stolen away from his gold watch, py tam;
and my neighbor Sobmitt, he found sixty
tollar what he hadn't got"
"The nice yoong man, who pretended to
be a local editor, was a piokpocket," said
Hazen, "who took that means to carry on
his trade, and he succeeded pretty well if he
got a gold watoh and sixty dollars."
"I tinks he succeeded pretty well, mine i
Got! De next time a man gomes in my
saloon mit his tam sheepskin pencil and j
lead pook, and says he is a local editors,
by tam, he don't gomes in."
A Delicate Bribe.?Between Yreka
and Jacksonville, Oregon, there was a wed
ding last winter, about the time of tbe deep
snow, when Mr. Peiham anl other oitizens
were corralled in that cold country. The
f&miiies of tbe respective parties to the
marriage were in attendance, and the party
was rather after the old fashioned style,
made up of neighbors, their wives and babies,
and anybody that happened to be
stopping anywhere within accessible distance.
It was a pleasant affair; but, like
all similar assemblages, it dispersed, and
the bride returned to her ohamber, first
having whispered to tbe fond groom, "Don't
come up for half an hour." This being
a first request, he obeyed, waited tbe time
anxiously, nor let the hand of tbe ticking
dock pass by a seoond of tbe limit ere he
had gone to her with whom bis life was
joined.
Rapping gently at the door of tbe bridal
ohamber, and reoeiving no reply, be entered
unbidden and saw bis wife lying on the
bed, arrayed in night-gear of the purest
white, presenting a pioture of beauty, taste
and loveliness beyond comparison. One
step further, a oloser look, and the blood
rushed back to his heart?she was dead!
Loudly calling for help, father, mother,
brother, sister, bridemaids, all tbe household
rushed to the room. The mother discovered
that her daughter still breathed, but
horror upon horrors! there lay tbe empty
vial from which the fatal draught had been
taken. Messengers were dispatched for
physicians, the patient was rubbed aod
sprinkled, tod hopes were entertained of
her revival, symptoms looking favorable.
At this juncture, some one picked up a
piece of folded paper from a table, on which
was written, in the delicate band of the fair
yoang bride
"Be not alarmed, dear husband. Feel*
ing that the occasion would be too much
for my nerves, I have taken ohloroform.
"Your Own Wife."
Poor Fellow.?The looal editor of the
Peoria (111.) Transcript, who has just
been married, thus rejoices in bb obange
of state:
"No more are we doomed to roam in
dark attios, illuminated by the faint odor
of stale tobacco, and adorned by bachelor
friends, inebriated and miserable. We
begin to have an interest in the markets;
are oorioas over the price of beefsteak, are
affeoted by a rise in soap bones and potatoes.
A picture of life dawns before us.
We begin to fancy ourselves sixty or seventy
years henoe, white-headed and venerable,
slowly pacing the church, leading by the
hand an interesting family of six rascally
white-headed boys, infant Snookses?who
look up to and call us 'Dad.' With suoh
a possible prospeot who wouldn't get married?
And then the joy of leading those
six through the measles, whooping-cough,
teething, rash, diptberiaand croup, buying
them shoes, pounding them when dgly,
and trotting them on our knee when they
squall; seeing them oome home drowned
from skating, and having them brought
borne blown op by toy oannon on the
4th of July, formed a picture of domestic
bliss tbat we oouldn't resist, and so we
didn't."
A Practical Joke of the War.
Henry Bale, one of the best scouts in the
Federal army, left Leavenworth with despatches.
As he rode along, men from every
direotion were going to join Gen. Price.
He saw an old secessionist with a shot gun,
and thought it would be a nioe thing to
drive the old fellow off and take bis borse
into .Lexington.
So he engaged the man in conversation,
and getting an opportunity, pot a revolver
to the rebel's head, ordering him to tie his
gun totbeeaddle, to dismount and skedaddle!
The old man made tracks rapidly, glad to
escape with his life- Hale took the horse
by the bridle and rode on, whistling "Yao
kee Doodle."
He bad ridden but a mile or two, when at
a turn of the road, he was ordered to "halt"
The old "reb" had procured another gun
and got ahead of him! His gun was squarely
levelled at Hale's head.
"Get off that horse," said be.
Hale got down.
"Tie that revolver to the saddle I"
Hale did it.
"Puli off yonr pants 1"
Hale sbuoked 'em off.
"Skedaddle !"
An order whioh Hale at once carried into
I effeot, merely saying:
"Well, Cap., I thought my shirt was
ooming next; good bye!"
The old "reb" went off with the two horses,
whistling "Dixie," while Hale marched
seven miles into Lexington with only bis
ooat and shirt on. His ooat oontained the
despatches.
Pat's Horbob of Life Insurance ?
Some enterprising Life Insuranoe Agents
meet with rebuffs of the most whimsioal
but obstinate kind. The following dialogue
between one of the fraternity and an Irish
meohauic, is a fair speoimen of these encounters
:
'Pat, you are making plenty of money;
why don't you insure your life V
'And what is that V
Why don't you take out a policy of insurance
on your life 7'
'Because I don't see the polioy of it. Sure
I most die, policy or no polioy V
'You don't understand. If you insure
your life now, when you die, the Company
will pay your wife enough to keep her and
your obildren from want or suffering.
'And that would be iusuriug my life;
sure I am aftber thinking it would be iusuriug
Bridget's aud the childer's. And bow
much would they give ber ?'
'That would depend upon the premium.
Say a thousand dollars.'
'A thousand dollars ! Holy Mother !?
Whist man ! Don't mintion it! Ye don't
know Bridget O'Reilly. Wunst she heard
of it not a wink of sblape should I git till I
done it, and tbin, bad luck to Pat. She'd
murther me with kindness and drink herself
to death wid the money.'
Anecdote.
The Reporters' gallery of the House of
Commons is famous for its "originals;"
and having been both reporter and newspa
per editor in his time, Mr. Jordon has made
himself familiar with the humors of the
place, and the olaas of men generally found
tnere. His brief note on one of these
eccentricities, namely, Mark Supple, we
transfer to our columns.
"Among my other coadjutors were Mr.
Robinson, also educated for the Kirk, and
a quiet man, Mr. Cooper, the author of a
volume of poetry, which prooured for him
the countenance of the beautiful Duchess
of Devonshire; and Mark Supple, an Irish
eccentric of the first water; he it was, who,
waking out of an intozioating doze, and
seeing Mr. Abbott on the Treasury bench,
(the House being in committee,) called out,
'Maister Spaker, as you seem to have nothing
to do, I call upon you for a song, if ye
plaze* The fierce indignation of the
Chair rose hotly against the breaoh of privilege,
and the Sergeant-at-Arms was sent
up to take the offender into custody; but
Supple adroitly escaped by pointing out a
peaceful quaker, sitting two or three seats
below him, as the culprit, and the affair as
eumed so ludicrous au aspeot, that it ended
in the worthy broadbrims being turned out
in spite of bis protestations of innocence,
and without having fees to pay."

Too Much "Ation."
Madam?Most worthy of my admiration
after long consideration, of the great repu
. tation you possess in the nation, I have a
strong inclination to become your relation.
On your application of the declaration, I
shall make preparation to move toa situation,
to profess my admiration; and ifsuoh obliga
tion is worthy of observation, and can obtain
commiesefution, it will be an aggraodization,
beyond all calculation, of the joy and
exultation of, Yours,
OA.U i^ABlUCAAUUn.
THE ANSWER.
Sir?I received your oration, with much
deliberation, and a little consternation at
the great iDfataation of yoar weak imagination,
to show 6nob veneration on so light a
foundation. I suppose your animation was
the fruit of recreation, or had sprung from ostentation
to display your eduoation by odd
enumeration, or rather multiplication, of
words of the same termination, though of
great variation in their respective Bignifica
tion Now, without disputation,yoqr laborious
application to so tedious an occupation,
deserves oommendation, and thinking imitation
sufficient gratification, I am without
hesitation, Sallie Moderation.

About Tin.
* Tin is ft short word, bat fall of meaning. |
If ft poor fellow's pookets are empty, he is (
said to be "out of tin." If Mr. and Mrs. (
Smith celebrate their tenth wedding anni- (
versary, it is oalled a tin wedding. Then {
what a gathering of friends! each with a ,
present of tin ware. Bat it is all a mis- (
take. The ware oalled "tin" is only a wash (
of tin over sheet iron. As well might we (
speak of plated ware as being silver.
I learned something novel recently aboat (
tin while looking in at a metal store, in ;
Barling Slip, near Pear) street, and listen- (
ing to the ooarteoas salesman. I learned
that, while oar extensive country produces
nearly all metals, from gold to lead, including
spelter ?which has only been found
within the past ten years?there has never ,
yet been disoovered a tin mine. Should
one be found, "may I be there to see," and J
take a few shares in it.
While the Lead Barons of the West ,
have become very wealthy, with prices from
three to eight cents per pound, what mast
be the profits of a mine of tin, when the ,
metal brings from thirty to fifty cents. Tin ,
is used for various purposes other than for ,
"Britannia Ware." The fine black oloths
we get from France are colored by a eolation
of tin. The most beaatifal red colors
in oarpets are made by a chemical process (
which requires pare tin in the composition. ,
The best and most reliable tin is imported |
from the Datch East India Island of Banoa.
It is taken from Banea to Rotterdam, |
and there sold, by auction, at semi-annual |
sales; and from there sent to all parts of j
the civilized world. Next in quality is ,
Malsooa or Straits tin, so named beoaose it ,
reaches as through the Straits of Malaooa. ,
A small quantity comes from China, bat ,
the Celestials have so many ways of obea- ,
ting that their tin is very unpopular. Our ,
English neighbors send ns great quantities ,
of their Cornwall tin, and they consider it ,
superior to all other; bnt while it is pore, ;
it is not so soft as Banoa, and Brother .
Jonathan prefers the latter, for whioh he is ,
willing to pay a high price. From Sonth ,
America we have small supplies; bnt it is ,
an inferior quality, and very drossy.?New ]

Nature's Barometers.?A venerable '
gentleman with whom we reoently conversed,
assured as that spiders were the best 1
barometers yet prodnoed. The barometer
invented by the scientific, be affirmed, only 1
indicated the kind of weather we are to '
have immediately; while spiders nnerring
ly told the obiiraoter of the weather for several
days in advance For instance, if the
weather is likely to become rainy, windy,
or in any other respects disagreeable, the
Bpiders make very short and firm the terminating
filaments on whioh their webs are
suspended. If, on the contrary, they
make the terminating filaments or fasten- ,
ing uncommonly long, the weather will
continue serene from ten to a dozen days
Spiders nsnally make alterations in their
webs once in 24 hoars. If they are totally .
indolent, and do not even watch for flies,
rain will speedily ensne. If the spiders .
stay oat apoo their nets daring a shower,
and seem actively engagod in patting affairs
in good condition, it is certain proof that
the rain will be of short duration, and
that it will be clear weather for some time.
If, daring the stormy weather, the spiders
are seen fixing their damaged netB in the
evening, it certainly indicates that the night 6
will be pleasant and that the rain is over }
For the present Uar informant baa otten (
witnessed ibis result when the sky looked }
most threatening, and be has never known ^
the sign to fail. ,
Pbopoexions op the Human Figure ]
?The proportions of the human figore are
strictly mathematical. The whole figure is (
six times the length of the foot. Whether >
,he form be slender or plump, this rule
holds good. ADy deviation from it is a
departure from the highest beauty of pro (
oortion. The Greeks make all their statues 1
ri
icoording to this rule. The faoe from the ?
highest point of the forehead, where the
iair begins, to the end of the chin, is one 1
enth of the whole statne. The hand, from i
;he wrist to the end of the middle finger, '
s the same. The ohest is a fourth, and from
;he nipple to the top of the head, is cbe i
tame. From the top of the ohest to the e
highest point of the forehead is the seventh. 1
[f the length of the faoe from the roots of
;he hair to the obin be divided into three [
:qual parts, the first division determines i
where the eyebrows meet, and the seoond r
;he place of the nostrils. The Davel is
;he central point of the human body, and j
f a man should lie on bis back with his >
irms extended, the periphery of the circle tvbich
might be described around him,
would touoh the extremity of his hands and '
feet. Tbe height from the feet to the top

From one extremity to the other when the
irms are fully extended. These are the
general measures of the man species. ?

A Second Balaam's Ass.?There it j
in air of improbability about tbe following,
wbioh is hard to get over. But as there t
has lately been a great many asses speaking
ind prophesying about the Capital at Wash f
ingtou, we know of no good reason why the 9
same miraculous thing should not ocour over
in Arkansas. We, however, give the story
as we find it in our exchanges:
A cotemporary states that some excite 11
ment was created in tbe neighborhood of
Mrs. Babb, opposite Friar's Point, Arkansas,
a week ago, by the repeated assertion '
of one of the negroes that a mule had
Bpoken to him, a fact whioh his actions
seemed to corroborate. The circumstances,
as related to us by good authority, are as
follows: "The uegro was ploughing with j <
the mule, when he became exasperated atj i
its slowness, and began to whip it uumerci
fully; whereupon the mule shook the harness
off of himself and confronting tho
negro, ordered him to go home and prepare, 1 ]
for the day of judgment was ooming, and a
he would meet his jast reward. The negro i11
immediately fled to the bouse and related 0
the occurrence, laboring the while under ; c
the most intense excitement. The negro is j
now a raving maniac and has to be confined ; j1
but before the attaok of the malady, he p
aould not, under any oiroumstances, be in-: "
iuoed to go near the prophesying mule." ?
Marriage in Spain.?The marriage
oeremony in Spain is oondnoted differently
from our C7n. Among the higher classes,
it takes place at night, at the bride's house;
tnd if, from any special oircomstances, it
be deferred till the morning, it is fixed for
i very early honr, and, in neither ease, is
there any display, though wedding feasts
are provided The guests are confined to
the family or immediate friends, and are
til, inolading the bride, dressed in blaok
(!) which does not prevent them being
often very ooetly attired. Seoond marriages
are looked upon torvo vultu, and discouraged
in every way. Popular feeling is so
opposed to them that a second-hand bride
aod bride-groom are considered legitimate
objeotsof praotieal jokes and most annoying
petty persecutions. It is all dooe in a
good-humored way, but so is the ceremony
performed by sailors on an unfortunate
land-lubber when crossing the line for the
? v " .1 T5.il
oret time; ana, as id toe one oase, ram?r
Neptune exacts a rigorous tribute, so, io
the other, must a handsome fine be paid to
Hymen or bis self-constituted representatives.
On the other band, facilities exist
for those who desire to marry neither onoe
nor twice, in the three-and-twenty or nvents
which' Madrid oontains, belong"ng to
various orders, active as well as contemplative.
Extraordinary Relics op a Prkadmitb
Race.?The following remarkable
communication from a well known gentlemen
of Middletown, Connecticut, appeared
lately in the Maine Farmer:
On the east bank of the Connecticut are
the Portland stone quarries, which have
been worked for 150 'years. At present,
in the three quarries, about 1,000 men are
it work, and thirty to forty vessels are employed
in oarrying the stone to the great
markets. Those exoavations, whioh have
now reaohed a depth of 105 feet below the
surface of the water in the river, have revealed
untold wonders. The stone is said
to be full of fossil remains in its lowest
iepths. I might, call it a great Chamel
house, but this is too gloomy a term to apply
to it. It is rather Cod's great Book
)f Records, whioh has been here carefully
preserved and hermetrioally sealed up till
within the last few yean. On the countless
eaves of this book are found the records
)f past ages. They tell us of the olimate,
)f the animals; and, moie wonderful still,
they tell us the men of those ages, show
us their implements, and shadow forth some:hing
of their customs. They also open to
is their graves and show to ns their modes
)f burial, the men lying in one posture and
:he women in another. These men all
bad three fingers and a thumb, and four
ioes.

experiments and discussion, and In no other way can the
people be so well Informed on such matters than through
tbe columns of a journal such as we propose to publish.
