Tho Hamilton (Canada) Spedc?or tells tho following story, which should be a yarning to fair smugglers and Gre? cian benders particularly : Tho Grecian bend was put to a novel nee on the lin ff ni o and Lake Hnron railway, a few days since. In one of the first-class cars sat a hand? some young lady, dressed in the height of fashion, who appeared to be onffering ender a father painful attack of Grecian bend. As is usual on tho train's arrival on the Ameri? can side, the baggage of the passen? gers was examined by tho United States custom officer. "Havo you any baggage, Miss?" inquired the officer of the aforesaid young lady. "Nothing, excopt this," replied she, producing a small valise. The officer examined and returned it,'at the same time, scanning the person of the young lady, in a man? ner that almost amounted to rude? ness. "Will you follow mo to tho custom office, Miss?" said the official. The corners of his mouth were al? most drawn into a smile, and a mis? chievous twin kio was perceptible in hie eves, as he led the way to the searching-room. Arrived in the office,.the lady's face, which had pre? viously been of a marble whiteness, assnmed a crimson hue. "What is here, ma'am?" said the officer, pass? ing his hand over the back i of her dress. "That is my Grecian bend," replied she, meekly casting down her eyes. "I did not know there was any duty to pay on it; if there is, toll me how much, and I will pay it." "There is no duty to pay on it, but we must examine it," replied the ob? stinate officer. A female searcher was procured, and after strong protests on the part of the young lady, the mystery of the "Grecian Bend," ahas the "Montreal wriggle," was unraveled, and found to contain twelve yards of black silk velvet, six pair of French kid gloves, forty yards of rich lace, four white ostrich feathers and a bottle of Gil? bert's magio hair restorer. The United States customs are now con? vinced of the reason why the Greoian bend has had such a rage, and they intend to give their particular atten? tion to any cases of this infectious disease whioh may come under their notice for the future. All cases of Grecian bend will be immediately put nnder quarantine on their arrival across the border. Baron Rothschild's family relations were happy, bnt he lived to seo the evil consequences of the system of family inter-marriage the brothers had adopted. Each married ? cousin and their children married cousins. Ono of the Baron's sons was deaf and paralytic; another died of a disease of the heart. Dr. Trousseau, who was called in to attend the latter, said to the Baron : 1 Tf yon continue to inter? marry among your kindred, tho next generation of Rothschild will bo baboons." The Baron's only mar? riageable son was, after this speech, married to M'lle Anspach, the daugh? ter of a judge of tho French Supreme Court. Her father gave her $100, 000 for her dowry. Tho Baron re? turned it to her family the day after the wedding, saying: "She "is my daughter now; 'tis for mo to take care of her." -*>.-. Tho champion eater of tho United States is named Joshua Plumb. A few days ago, he entered a restaurant in Hudson, New York, and offered to eat all that any one would pay for. The challenge having been accepted, he disposed of the following articles: Ton pieces of apple pie, six corn cakes, a quarter of a pound of orack ers, six cups of peanuts, thirty piokled clams, four lemons, an ounce of candy, and two bowls of clam Houp. He then drank six tumblers of water and offered to eat a hundred raw oysters. No one doubted his ability to accomplish the feat, but no one was willing to pay for the oysters, and so he went off gtumbliug that ho wasn't half full. > The Suez Canal w..i be regularly opened in Octobor, 18G9.

IN THE CITY^F COLUiraiA^ S. C. rjlHE undersigned. Commissioners, ap I pointed by the General .Assembly of South Carolina, at ita Ute session, will re? ceive bids for tho valuable Water Power known aS the COLUMBIA CANAL, until the 5th day of JANUARY, 1869: The Canal is eight thousand B?X hundred and fifty-four (8,654) yarda long, and the average fall' for tho first three miles is fourteen feet, commencing at ten feet, at Upper street, in Columbia, and attaining ii moteen feet ono inch at Bridge streot; tho remaining two milos, from Bridge streot to ita mouth, commences at nine? teen feet ten inches and attains a fall of twenty-five feet. Fine bnilding sites exist botwoen the Canal and Bivor. aivins oomoWn protec? tion to buildings and machinery from freshets. Tho State, through the under? signed, will convey the Canal, and all its appurtenances, together with tho right of way for 100 feet on each aide of tho centro of thc Canal, to the purchaser. Compen? sation to the adjacent land-owners, for tho right of way, to be made by tho purchaser; on tho sama just and equitable terms that tho right of way was conveyed to tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad Compa? ny by Act of Decomber 15, 1845. This power han been accurately survoyed by Prof. John LcCoute, of tho South Ca? rolina University. He estimates that by doubling tho original capacity of tho Canal, as reauired by the Act, that tho power secured to Bridgo street will be 355 horse-power, tho averago head being four? teen feet; and from Bridgo street to its mouth 532 horse-power, with an averago head of twenty-one foot, ann a current of ono foot por "second. With a cui ront of two feet per second tho powers would bo 710 and 1,064 horse-power; and if tho ma? chinery is not run at nicht tho power may bo doubled, by accumulating water in re? servoirs. "AB tho supply of water," says Prof. LeConto, "which"may bo turned from tho River into the Canal at its head ?B almost unlimited, the Canal can be enlarged to an extent commensurate with the demand for water power. If desired, it may bo made to supply water to the extent of 5,000 horse-power or more. In fact, by very simple arrangements, one-third, or ono halt, or even more, of tho whole water in Broad Bivor might bo turned iuto such au enlarged Canal. This water power is within tho limitB ot tho city of Columbia, and contiguous to railroads which connect it with nearly every County in the Stato of South Caroli? na, and with tho adjoining States of North Carolina and Georgia, anu their abundant supplies of cotton, rice, corn, wheat, beef, pork, and other vegetable and animal pro ductions, and also in daily communication with the sea-ports of Charleston, Savannal and Wilmington. Tho city is suppli?e with gas and fine water; tho climate is sa lubrious and healthy, being above tin miasmatic region; lands in the vicinity aro cheap, and tho soil fertile; and there aro but few sections iu the South whiel present greater attractions for sottlemen or residence. The water power, from iti magnitude and advantages, is unequaloc by any in South Carolina, and uusurpassee by any in tho Southern country. Tho property will be sold on tho follow ing conditions, to wit: let. Tho purchase shall, within two years from the dato o conveyance, completo tho widening an? deepening of said Canal to at least twic its original capacity. [Its original capaci ty was fifteen feet wido at top, eight fcc at bottom, and four foci in depth. T doublo it, according to Trof. LeConto's re port, it will require the removal of 36,10 cubic yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yard of stone, to Bridge street; andfromBridg street to its mouth 22,176 cubic yards o earth, but no stone.] That tho same sha! always bo kept opon for boating purpose* freo of charges, for toll or otherwise, t where it is now used. [This will not intel fere at all with tho wator power for drivin machinery, a? boats only descend as far a tho first lock, near Upper street.] Tba tho water shall not bo permitted to becom stagnant, and that it Miall not bo Untd fe other than hydrau; purposes. And tba tiiero shall be a res > ration to the Stato c water power sufficient for tho purposes c tho State Penitentiary, for all time, free < charge. [This is estimated, at thc max mum, at 100 horso-power.] And upon th further condition that the work of widot ing and deepening tho eaid Canal shall I commenced within six month?, and th sum of $10,000 shall bo expended on th samo within twelve months from tho dal of conveyanco. That one-third of tho sum bid shall 1 paid within thirty dava after notico of ai ceptunce of bid; one-third at the oxpin tion of six months therefrom, and the n mailling third at tho expiration of tweb months. Titles delivered on payment i first instalment; and tho titlo herein pr posed to bo pnav.eyed, shall rev-urfc to the State on default being made of any of the foregoing conditions, including payment of all tho purchase money. -* n ^* s * Parties sonding bida wij? please fural?h the OommisBiouere with ref?renoe as to tho ability promptly to make good the same.
