In olden times, before the. Maine
. laws were invented, Wing kept the
liotel at Middle Granville, and from
liis well stocked bar furnished ac'unmodation
to man and b6ast. v lie
was a good landlord, * but terribly
deaf. Fish, the village painter, was
afflicted in the same way.
One day they were sitting by
themselves in the bar room. Wing
was behind the counter-waiting for
the next customer, while Fish was
lounging before the lire with a thirsty
lbok, casting a sheep's eye occasionally
at , Wing's decanters, and
wishing devoutly that somebody
would come in and treat.
A.traveler from the . South, on his
way to Brandon, stepped in to in
* quire the distance. Going up to tlie
counter, he said:
"Can you tell me, sir, how far it is
to Brand a 11?"
"Brandy?" says the i*fcady landlord,
jumping up, "yes, sir, I have some,"
at the same time handing down a
decanter of precious liquor.
"You misunderstand me, says the
stranger, "I asked how. far it was to
Brandon?"
"They call it pretty good Brandy,"
says Wing. "Will you take sugar in
it?" reaching as he spoke for the bowl
. and toddy1 stick.
The despariug traveler turned to
Fish.
trnm i n
"ine landlord," saicl lie, "seems to
be deaf; will you tell me liow far it
is to Brandon?" '
"Thank you," said Fish, "I don't
care,if I do take -a drink with you!"
The stranger treated and fled.'
The French in Mexico.?The IleruUI is
very Anxious it should appear that the French
nre being beaten in Mexico, therefore its .statements
are little to be relied on. It has the following
paragraph on the subject :
It will.lmve been seen by the advices which
wc published yesterday that the , French have
met with severe reverses in Mexico. In four
pitched battles the French and Algerian troops
were defeated by Gen. Diego Alvarez, wjiife
other Mexican commanders had successfully
resisted the attacks of the invaders. The news
completely refutes the rebel rumors of
^ "1 I I UIIV'll
successes lately set afloat by the agents of the
Maximillian administration, ami proves that
the Austrian has hard work before him yet.?
In fact, it seems now more than ever likely
that the Mexicans will successfully scsist the
French until wo shall lie at liberty to give
them a holping hand, and clear from this continent
the hordes of French and Austrian fillibustcrs,
?-# ?
The near decimal coinage of Maximilian, issued
at thp time of the arrival of the Fmpcror
at Vera Cruz,bears his superscription with the
crowned eagle standing on the nopal, or prickly
pear of Mexico. Its value is stated thus : u10c"
ten centimes, or cents in our coinage.

Tins literary colmnn of a recent Yankee pa- j
per contains the following notice of Maearja :
One of the most pretentions novels which'
the war has pvotlueSd is said to have emanated
t'rwnv the rattle-brained Southern authoress,
Miss Evans, who wrote "Beulali," which appearcd
a few years ajjo. Miss Evans' new novel
is called "Maesiria," and was originally published
in Kichmotd, and now conies re-produccd
by John Jlradbni n, of New York. The
work is so rampantly rebellious that certain
Western booksellers returned to tbc New York
publishers all the copies they had received j
from Iiiin. "As a literary production," the j
New York Post, snvs; "Macariu is at least i
crjual 1 <? Mi-s Kvans' previous works, ami how- j
over repugnant il may 1m* t?? loyaltv to learn ;
that.such a rebel hook can find pnpli.-her and !
readers in the North, yet it must lie said tiiis is
the most carefully written tio\el tint the war)
has suggested to the novelists of eiilo i side."

\\ e heard yesterday, says the wheeler In- j
f<!li</rn('i'ry of Monday, a vefv good joke on
tJeiicral 11 unl<rr and stall", which, though it ocr- j
curred soinetiine. ago, has never appeared in j
print. W hen the General was moving in Par-'
Rersburg to Cumberland via Clarksburg, il, was
derided by tin; military authorities at the latter
place to lire a salute upon the arrival of the
train. The guns' were brought out, and when
the whistle was heard the firing commenced.
Instantly the lights were put out, and every
man upon the train dropped Hat upon the lloor
of the cars, supposing thy train was being lired
upon by the rebels. The alarm which was
felt for a lime was soon turned into merriment
when the. tacts were made known.
