The folly and danger of fondling and cuddling poodles and other email dogs bavo reoeutly bud an impressive illustra? tion in the experience of the lady known in literary and theatrical circles iu New York as "Ada Clare." She was nur-dug her pot dog which was ill, and while holding the animal in her lap, the treacherous little beast, for some trivial cause or other, sprang at her, and, catchmg her nose between its teeth, wrenched and tore the unfortunate wo? men's faoo do severely that her cou?te nance will undoubtedly bo disfigured for life. This is tho year iu which the late Sister Anua Maria Tulgn, of Borne, pre? dicted the Pope would die, with attend? ant convulsions of nature. "For three days aud three nights," she said, "Cim? merian darkness will rent over the earth, biding every object in tho world from view; the people who look out of the windows for the purpose of describing what is going on in tho firmament will be immediately struck dead." Ab Sin seems to bo a source of greet spiritnal tribulutiou to the country. Senator Sargent, of California, dwelt at length upon the evils of Chinese immi? gration, showing that the 60,000 of them in his own State were not adding to its material prosperity or morul improve? ment. Some legislutiou may bo no aessary to regulate the infinx of these almoud-eyed people, but it is.ueccssiry that it should bo wisely considered.

Strange to suy, a simultaneous effort is being made by a man iu Mississippi to reco? ver tho ownership of one-half of Rich? mond, Va. A Kentucky farmer went to Cincin? nati tho other day aud bought u jug of whiskey, and, when ho got home, he found thut tho whiskey had been poured out and the jug filled with water. Thus, by uu interposition of Providence ns mysterious ns it was beuigu uud merci? ful, the poor man's lifo wus saved.

What is one man's loss in another man's gain, as a fellow said when ho saw a man walking beforo him drop his pocket-book.

If John's father is Joe's brother, what I relation is John to Joe's mother? Youb Wobk. of Life ? Io a recent speech on self-culture, Lord Derby, the great common-sense . statesman of Eng? land, expressed tbo opinion tbat talent in not tbo first qualification for a successful career, aud mentions particularly two men who rose to fill some of tbe highest offices iu England, and who filled them well, too, and who yet were at college constantly ridiculed tor slowness of comprehension; and he goes ou to apeak of those firat-cluss men at tho universities who are now strug? gling hard for mere bread and n roof. Touching on tbe mental restlessness, tho inquiry, tho doubt of the times, no bays most simply and naturally what it will not harm the modern American to read again und agnin: "Right and wrong, honor, duty aud oouutry, benevolence toward men aud responsibility toward tho unseon power by which human uc tious aro guided and controlled?these are uot idle phrases. They are roulilies which correspond with the deepest wants and feelings of our'nature; und no mau will feel himself utterly cust down who can say iu his heart what the wisest and best of tho human race have proclaimed in the wholu teuor of thoir lives. Whether I urn happy or uuhappy, is uot my chief affair; what most uud first concerns me is to find my work in life, to recognizo it, and to do it." The last clause of this last sentence is a vo-i lumeof truth and wisdom condensed in two lines. Many of tho failures iu life occur from meu not finding their pro? per vocation, or if they have it, uot beiug willing to accept it. Every mau who has succeeded signally has disco? vered uud adopted what ho was fitted for, and pursued it with perseverance and energy. A Gueat Political Partnership Dis? solved.?Tho partnership heretofore doing business undor the numo U. S. Grant und Party is this day dissolved by mutual discouseu t. The outstanding claims and responsibilities are assumed by the Party, tho senior member of the firm retaining only the old place of business, with a salary of $50,01)0 a year aud perquisites, amounting to us much more. Tho Party continues the business, and thankful for past favors, solicits u con? tinuance of confidence aud public pa? tronage. Tho attention of bankets, monopolists, protectionists, carpet-bag? gers, scalawags and bloated bond-holders is respectfully culled to the new assort? ment of measures thut will redound to their benefit where used.

[ Washington Capital. As was suspected from tho stringent stipulations concerning the autopsy, the death of the hyphenated brothers is not tti interfere with their profitableness.

Tue children object to this exhibition of their fathers' remuin1*, but tho bereaved widows itibist that us the defunct "cut up" much worse than they anticipated, they should bo made to "out up" better after death. The Pioneer Club, colored, iu Alex? andria, V.l., beiug lately about to give a ball, announced ou the programme that tho eutertaiumeut would bo "strictly moral until 12 o'clock." Tho odd an? nouncement having oansed sumo com? ment, the committee of arrangements havo written to tho newspapers to ex? plain. "Strictly moral" means prome? nading, which eveu members of churches may engigo iu. After that the light fantastic, though "no inferior characters, will bo uliowod inside the building." By the arrival of a steamer from Rio do Janeiro, news is received that Asiatic cholera is laging iuflLbienos Ay res with increased intensity, claiming from thirty to foity victims per day.

Tho President of tho repub? lic bad also lied the city for a heultbu-r residence on tho island of Curupuuhu. This act of Suimuuto is unfavorably commented upon by the press. Thut cantankerous school board in Boston needs regulation badly. Not? withstanding tho people elected four women school commissioners, ami a de? cision of tho Supreme Court of tho State declared thorn eligible, the board refuses to admit tho fair committee men.

Mauy of tbo news? papers of the State urge that the capital should be moved further West; that it is too far from tbo centre of tbo State. One plea is for its removal to Stuanton, and in defence of it, it is asserted that the people of West Virginia, boooming tired of their political wranglicgs and trials of self-government, are anxious to annul the mythical Act of separation, about tbo legality of which, it being done during the rebellion by an ex parte vote, it will be remembered there were grave doubts, and re unite themselves to the Old Dominion.
