A girl calle d ou one ot oar clergy? men and inquired bm price for "mar? rying anybody." He replied; "Two dollars,'' and Biddy departed. She . called fi few evenings after, and re? marked that ehe had como lo be mar? ried. '*Very well," said the minis? ter; ' but seeing that she waa alono, 'ventured to inquire: "Whore is tho ; man?" f An expression of disappoint? ment passed over Biddy's features as she ejaculated : "And don't you find the man for (wo dollars?" A Maine mechanic has produced a patent for an invention for running shafting at right anglos, or at any angie, without the nae of gearing or belting. The idea is entirely novel. A slide bar' is placed in the angle, and motion transferred ' by the no? tion of a double crank on each shaft. The mftfthinnry nina wifchoni- the least noise. Great Britain now contains thirty millions of peoplo, an increase of two and a half millions since 1862, and daring the time she has furnished three millions of emigrants to this country, . Australia and other parts of -the globe. During the last fifteen {rears, Ireland has decreased in popu ation nearly eight hundred thousand. Tho Saturday Review tells a story of an English clergyman, who, mis , led by the prevalent printing of cer? tain Scriptural words in Italic, read in a sonorous voice, with undue emphasis: "and ho spoke to his socs, saying, 'Saddle me the ass.' And they saddled him." "What is that?" said a Sunday school teacher, pointing to the letter O. "Dunno," said the urchin. "What do you say when you stump your toes?" "Damn it," was the precocious reply. Little Bobby-"I say, ma, is it true that we are all made out of dust?" Ma-"Yes, my boy; so we are told." Bobby-"Well, I'll be hanged if 11 believe it, cause if-if we was, when we sweat, wouldn't it be muddy?" A prominent English politician, in a recent speech at Bolton, asserted, "that from twenty-seven to thirty four per cent, of those married in the parishes around London ure unable to write their names, and that there are 40,000 children in the city of Manchester attending no school." A London correspondent asks, re? garding the Prince of Wales, "What would you think of the manners of a man who made a point of entering ladies' drawing-rooms with a cigar in bis month?" When the Chinese have a street TOW, the consequences are direful. The other day, two men bad a miff, and before they were reconciled, 800 cues belonged to dead Chinamen. In Texas, the Freedmen's Com? missioner is called the "Burro man;" which is explained when we are told that "burro" io the vernacular for jackass. What is the difference between a man of his word and a toper? One fulfills and the other fills full New York Advertisements. JAMES CONNER'S SONS United States Type Foundry AND PRINTER'S WAREHOUSE.
