They gather round the chair; "Now, grandma, you hold Johnny-. 1 Don't let the candle flare." So speaking, from his fingers, He throws a Bb ado w tall, ^ 3 Thut seems, the moment after, A. rabbit on tho wall. The, children shoat wit's laughter, Tho uproar louder grows: Even grandma chu cid CH faintly, And Johnny chirpB and crows. There ne'er was gilded painting, Hung np in lordly bau, . ' . Gave half the simple pleasure This rabbit on the wall. A Kiss before Pur tin e. The following incident is said to have rocen tly caused some amusement in tho Loudon fashionable circles: A Indy of distinct ion, the Marchion? ess of Finsbury, lately spent more than an hour in a music store in Regent street, buying all the pieces of munie with a sentimental title that she could find. .When she had finished her purchases, and vas already on the threshold of the door, she paused a moment with a hesi? tating air. The clerk, who had assiduously waited on so good n oustomer, stepped forward and asked t her if she wished fol; anything else. ', The marchioness made ah effort tc collect .her. thoughts, and turned back, .fixing her eyes on the face ol tho clerk, who blushed to the ears. "I had quite forgotten one thing,' said she, in a voice that seemec tremulous. "I don't know what ii the matter with me to-day. I cam? back to ask you if-" She made a short pause, as if t< summon np her courage. Mean wbib the clerk, pulling np his false collar leaned gracefully on the counter an< bent forward. ?I came back," continued th marchioness, "to ask if yon wonl< be good enough to give me a leis before parting ?" "My lady ?" exclaimed the astonish ed clerk. "I desire that you should give m a lei?? before parting," repeated th marchioness, with a deliberate ail fixing her eyes on the clerk, wh seemed turned into stone. Wi thou betraying the least emotion, sh repeated the request for the thir time? saving, "if yon cannot give it t | rae to-day, I will call some othe w time." The cl erl:, intoxicated with joy I the hasty thought that the beantift marchioness had taken a sudde fancy for bini, did not wait foran farther entreaties, but, apr in gin over the counter, threw his arm around the waist of his fair cus tomo and impressed the asked-for kiss npo her chook. To his surprise, his sol response was a blow in the face froi the parasol of the marchioness, wh began to shriek wildly, and did m cease until three policemen rushe into the shop, and took the wonde; ing clerk into custody. The aila . was explained the next day in cour where'the magistrate at onoe si the unfortunate culprit at liberty, o learning that4 'A Eis? Before Pat ing" was the name of a fashionah song, the existenoe of which t then was wholly nnknown to him. ? LABOE HOLIDAY'S WORK, KVJ FOB AK DT JOHNSON.-Mon tez um when Oortez was around, did m sleep upon a bed of roses, and, sim the time of General Jackson, tl Presidents of the United State always excepting John Tyler, ha had about as hard a time of it Montezuma. In the mere drudge of the office, it requires a strong co stitntion to survive it. Thursd last, for instance, in consequence the marriage festival of Senator He derson, was a sort of official holida in Washington, and vet on that di r"Andy Johnson" saw the membe pt his Cabinet, discharged the usu 'routine business of the mornin entertained a number of oflico-seo ern, inoluding members of bo Houses, and some squads of Dem oratio politicians on the subject the Democratic oandidate for t succession, made out and sent np budget of nominations to the Sena wrote ont and sent to the House a vt on the omnibus restoration bl attended the wedding of Senat Henderson, and then, after the p sage of the vetoed bill over the vel had a conference with the Secreta of War on the subject, and th proceeded to arrange the budget business for the next morning. Sa jj ii life in the White House. A yet how the moths flit about it, ot to get their wings scorched! [New York Herald. THE NEW TAX BILL.-Aoooirdinfe to the provisions of, the new tax bill, passed in the House of Representa? tives, whick now goes to the Senate for concurrence, the tax on whiskey is fixed at fifty cents for every proof gallon, and all spirits in bonded warehouses must bo withdrawn within six months and pay a tax of four dollars per barrel, in addition to that of fifty cents per gallon. The system of bonding is abolished, and henceforth the tax is to be paid at the distillery. Tho tax on tobacco is fixed ab thirty-two cents for chewing and snuff, five dollars per 1,000 for segars, cigarettes, and cheroots, and two dollars and a half per pound and twenty-five per cent, ad valorem on foreign segars, this latter being a reduction from the present dnties. Contrary to what was expected, the bill is not devoted exclusively to whiskey and tobacco. The tax on banks is also regulated. This io fixed at one per cent per annum on private deposits, three per cent, per annum on public deposits, and the half of ono per cent, per annum on the capital employed by banks and , bankers.* I The retirement of Count Bismarck from the control of the Prussian Ministry, although ostensibly for only the period of three months, is regarded in Franco as likely to be final. The Heroulean labors he has undergone, united with his peculiar irascibility of temper, doggedness, and indomitable industry, have seri? ously nndermined his health. Whe? ther he returns to his position or not, he has already made a mark in history equal to that of Cavour. Both statesmen have succeeded in blotting out from their countries the ! petty divisions and dissensions of centuries, and elevated them to formidable powers. It now remains to be seen whetbor their successors will possess the ability to follow in the track opened to them, or lose, through error or supineness, the brilliant achievements of their genies. There is very little sign of a satis? factory arrangement between the "boss" masons and their workmen. Another meeting of the former was held yesterday, at whioh a resolution was reiterated not to employ any brick-layer' connected with the "Union," so long os they persist in their demands. The bosses are re? solved to go to work themselves and complete the unfinished buildings now on hand. The latter resolution looks like business and determina? tion. We should suppose the brick? layers wonld soon find out that in injuring tho building operations of the city, they are also injuring them? selves irretrievably, says the Times. RAPE.-Derrick, a copper-colored negro, living iu Hopewell neighbor? hood, committed rape on his own daughter, a week or so since. He beat her very cruelly several times before he succeeded. He is now out, avoiding arrest, and we learn that there is considerable excitement in the neighborhood from the fear many entertain of him. He is about forty years of ago, copper-colored, very powerful and a daring villain. On yesterday, a party was in pursuit of him, but we have not yet heard whetbor they succeeded in capturing him.-Charlotte Times. PR?SENTATION TO MME. RISTORI. The American Dramatic Fand Asso? ciation, on Monday evening, present? ed Mme. Il is tori, as a token of their regard for her as an artist and a lady, a photographic albnm, quarto vo? lume, containing 200 cartes de visits of the members of the association and many other persons with whom she had become acquainted in this oity. The book is bound in emboss? ed Russian leather, richly ornament? ed with clasps, plates and guards of solid gold. A Buenos Ayres letter confirms the roport that women are being recruit? ed for the Brazilian army. Thou? sands of women aro alroady organ? ized as regiments, and serve in barracks, and as ditchers, and as cavalry. As far as possible, they will be saved from exposure to battle in the open field, but each one ia as good us a man for the general pur? poses of war. The proprietors of Point Airy, a bathing resort on Smith's Island, opposite Philadelphia, have been held to bail for selling lager beer to Robert Graig, a boy, who, having drank five glasses, went in to bathe and was drowned-it is believed, in oonsoquouco of the liquor he had swallowed. A Pennsylvania damsel hanged herseli by a towel, because her mo? ther made her wash the dishes. CORONER'S INQUEST.-An inquest was held Saturday last, the 27th ult., at the plantation of.?Mr. D. B. Glad noy, upon the body of Hester Mobley, colored, who" waa found dead in a field near her house. The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her death from disease:of the heart. [Winnsboro News. FISHY BUT RELIABLE.-Yesterday, numerous throngs of persons went to see a mammoth sea bass, which was on exhibition at Sweeny's Hotel. His bass-ship measured four and a half feet from nose to tai), and weighed sixty pounds. [New York Times. An American recently demanded! an exclusive privilege in Paris for an invention, consisting in' anew style of illuminated printing, by whioh the print can be distinctly read in the dark. Phosphorus ia the agent explored, and the process is very simple and cheap. It is said to be unquestionably settled that there w?l be no State election in Virginia prior to the Presidential election, as the radicals are convinced that the result will be the defeat of the Constitution. An embankment, whioh was being raised at Jones' Wood, to be used at tho Sohnetzenfest as a target, caved in, killing one man and injuring four others. Prince Alfred has arrived in Eng? land, and is now at Windsor. ^SPECIAL NOTICES. Pamphlet from tho pen of Dr. Curtis.
