Punch on Headache.
The female headache are innumcra- '
hie, but they arise principally from
vexation and disappointment. They
may be divided into nervous^awd sick
headache. The nervous is irritable ,
and cannot bear being spoken to. The
sick is despondent or sulkey, and
bursts into tears at the least contradiction.
When a lady cannot have her
own way, a headache is the painful
consequence. An unpopular visiter
brought homo accidentally to dinner ,
will produce an alarming attack of
headache, ami the symptoms that successively
follow are, instant loss of appetite,
deafness, peevishness, hysteria,
and finally a precipitate retreat to the
bed-room. The poor servants feel the
etfects of the headache as much as any
one, and do not stop in the room longer
than they can help. These unfortunate
headaches are very frequent abont
that time of the year whefl every
one is, or is supposed to be, out of
town and do not cease until the patient
has been carried to the sea side for a
change of air. The milder forms will
vanish upon the application of a piece
of jcwcrly ; or if the forehead is wrapped
up in a new shawl, it is astonishing
with what rapidity the pain disappears.
Sometimes a shifting of the
scene is requisite, and thus a box in
the Opera has been known to produce
an instantaneous cure, even when the
headache in question has been of the
most stunning description, and the opera
played has been one of Verdi."
Louis Piiillippk's Daugutebs.?
Considerable sensation has been pro
duced by the announcement that the
Emperor Napoleon has relaxed his policy
iu regard to the daughters of his
predecessor, King Louis Phillippe, so
tar as to direct that a project of law

entitled thereto will be ?24,000, or, if

to be due to the Emperor's own desire,

has become fashionable. Several
friends and acquaintances inform
each other that they intend to drop in
Mid take tea with Air. and Mrs.-B .
Che family are surprised and astonishxl
to find fifteen or twenty friends and
icauaintances in the house who have
jailed to take tea. The tea chest is
ust exhausted?not a bit of cake in

grocery, and not euongh cups and sanjcrs
and teaspoons to go around.?
What a peck of trouble the poor woman
is in. She'd give her wedding
gown if she had only known of their
coming. There is a mighty deal of

mg. The day before yesterday a very
unpleasant incident occured at one ot
these parties. A merchant who has
heretofore held a respectable position
in society was selected by somo friends
to call on. It was a surprise party
indeed to all concerned. They found
the husband insensible from the effects
of liquor, laying on the hall stairs, and
his wife with a bruised face and a black
eye, bathing his temples with ice water.
How many such scenes occur
unknown to the world.
[Albany Knickerbocker.
The American Bonapartes.?A suit
has lately taken place between the
Prince Jerome Bonaparte and his son,
is^ne of his marriage with Miss Patterson,
of Baltimore. The object of
this suit was to settle the position and
the name which the Baltimore branch,
father and son, were to bear in France.
The title of Prince of Monfort, which
was formerly applied to the Baltimore
Bonaparte by the Bonaparte family in
Europe, has been refused by both the
son and grandson, then and now. The
suit in the present instance was to compel
the son and grandson to renounce
the name of Bonaparte (in France) and
carry that of Patterson instead. This
the sons refused to do, and so the father
commenced 6uit. The Court has
decided in favor of tho Americans,
who will continue to l>ear in France,
us they did at home, the name of Bonaparte.
The debates on this singular
trial have been tho cause of much talk, 1
in which the old ex king is criticised in i

Boat Capsized.
On Tuesday afternoon as a young
man was attempting to cross over to
Sullivan's Island, alone, in asinall sail
boat, he was struck by a squall, near
Fort Sumter, and the boat capsized.?
The gentleman however succeeded in
clinging to the bottom of the boat, until
assistance was sent from a vessel at
Quarantine, and lie was taken off in
quite an exhausted condition. It is
said that the peril and mental nnxiotv
of the gentleman wa9 so great, amid
the plunging of the waves and the
snapping of the sharks, that his hair,
whicn an hour before was a beautiful
auburn, turned almost white, and lie is
now as grey as a badger, not from age,
but frignt. A man must have strange
feelings, when looking into the yawning
deep with nother under him, or
down the capacious throat of a hungry
shark. From both of which, including
the gray hair, may we be
kindly and mercifully preserved.

The Irish Highwayman.
Not many years ago, an Irislnun
whose finances did not keep pace wi
the demands uiade on his pockets, ai
whose scorn of honest labor was ii
niinently unfavorable to their beii
filled legitimately, borrowed an c
pistol one day when poverty had dri
eu him to extremity, and took t
highway most convenient where
was likely to find a heavy purse.
A jolly old farmer came jogging
long, ana no put Jnra down instant
;ii a party who possessed tliose i
quisites he so much stood in need
himself. Presenting his pistol, i
commanded the farmer to "stand ai
deliver.*'
The poor follow forked over fifty d
lars, but finding Pat somewhat of
greenhorn, begged a five to take h
home, a distance of about a half a mi
The request was c<>mp'icd with, i
coinpaiued with the most pa?ronizi
air. Old Acres and Roods wasam<
knowing one. Eyeing the pistol,
asked I at if he would sell it.
"Is it to sell the pist?l ? Sowl, a
it's that samo thing that I'il beaftl
doing. What would you he aft!
I giving for it ?"
"I will give you the five dollar lj
for it."
"Done?nnd dune's enough betwe
two gentlemen. Down with the du
and here's the tool for you."
The bargain was made by itnme
ate transfer. The moment the farm
got the weapon he ordered Pat tosh
out. and pointing tho pistol, threat*
eu to blow bis brains out if he ref

Pat looked at liim a moment witl
comical leer, and buttoning
breeches pockets, sung out?
"Plow away, ould boy ; devil ta

We believe the old man never t<
