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.

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. Yours truly, 1?. T. BARNUM.
