MISCELL/XNEOU9. [From tho Now York Picayune.] Doesticks Determines to be Garrotted. Wonderfully popular ha9 the fash ionable amusement of garrotting lately become. It seetns to be one of the do litthtful recreations of high life, to be choked and robbed?the hero victim? of the garotte are as much lionized in j?olite circles at present, as Polish no bles and Hungarian oneo were. In stead of stars, ribbons and onlvrs, dam aged faces and broken heads are now the rage in Fifth Avenue. A smashed nose is a surer passport to social dis tinction than the Order of the Garter, and a black eye is better capital for soiree and party free passes than a dozen crosses of the Legion of Honor, Garrotting is exceedingly useful, bio, hi matrimonial speculations. A fits! friend of mine, young Peboots, owed old liootjack, the oil merchant, $300, for money advanced to pay College expenses?young Delioots' guardian sent liiin the dimes to settle the account.? That O.VPnilinr vminr? B lytwwio CUt UV'WII to a friendly game of w poker" with a few friends, much faster than himself, suvd after five deals, his " pile" wasn't worth a Spanish quarter. Young De boots cogitated, and next, morning gol up an artistic black 03*0, with some In dia ink and a little gamboge, put a couple of strips of court plaster 011 his forehead, and with his arm in a sling, presented himself to old Bootjack.? lie told a doleful story of having been garrotted, and bo showed the marks, Bootjack believed the yarn, and wrote a long letter to yonng Deboots' guardian for more money for that young gentleman. Bootjack's fine daughter saw young Deboots in her father's office ?pitied tho interesting young man, askpd pajm to introduce him?in three days young Deboots was invited to ii large party at old Bootjack's, where he was the lion of the evening, and where he recounted his adventure with his garrotters, more than twenty times, with additions and variations: Matilda Jane was captivated with the brave young man?the brave young man improved his opportunities; and four days ago eloped with Matilda Jane, whe has a hundred thousand in her own right from her grandaunt. Young Deboots recovered from his black eye the first time lie washed his face?ho took his arm out of the black handkerchief, and pulled the court plaster off his face the night he was married, and has been a weli man ever since. Pigford, my esteemed friend and fellow-boarder at Mrs. Snngley's, has been garrotted?and it really seems as if the robbers must have intimately known his private affairs, because the event occurred on the night of the very day that he received a remittance from England to pay Mrs. S. his five fuontlts' board?lie appeared at the breakfast table next morning with a countenance so much damaged, and was so cast down on Mrs. S.'s account, that she could not find it in her heart to refuse him three months' longer credit, until he can get another remittance from England. Jcnks, another one of onr boarders, was garrotted twice in one wee!:?it has a bewildering effect upon Jenks?it makes him unsteady in the legs, and causes his breath to smell of rum punch?on the first occasion of the robbing and choking Outrage, ho rung the area bell of the house on the other side of the street until a policeman interfered, and 1 trought him home? then Jenks inveigled the policeman into the house, and delivered him over to me with many formalities, assuring me that he was a garrotter whom he /had overpowered and captured by main strength, and he showed the star on the M. P.'a breast as the place where the invincible fist of Jenks had " smashed his jaw." Jenks was gar rotted again two days after, and brought home by a gentlemanly individual, who picked his pockets at the door, took his overcoat, changed hate with him, and then rang the l?ell for the girl to come and let Jenks into the house. The girl came and found this individual trying to whittle off one of the pickets of the iron fence with his i ! '. - _ L I1 - -!J.JL 1 . penknife, and meanwhile making a r Furious attempt to sing the words of the Evening llyinn to the Virgin to classic air of Hoot Hog or Die. The mania has extended even to the kitchen, and the servants are now following the example of their betters, and getting garrotted on every favorable opportunity?the boy goes to the butcher's ; he is invariably, according to his own account., attacked by a band ot ruffians and robbed of the mbney before he gets home?this has happened four successive days in broad day-' light, a id lias cost Mrs. Snagley about four and sixpnee a time. I sent Sally, the little errand girl, with a dime for some beer, and she returned in tears, uritli 111nnu*o fl?of V.J 1. ? ...... ...V 11V ? n kuuii DUO IUU IlltU UUtiil u groted," and had lost the change.? She had her fist full of lemon candy, and had two big apples in her pocket, which I suppose the robbers hau given her. I am positively frightened?things arc truelv in a dreadful state in my ncighlwrhood?I dare not travel on the sidewalk, and have ruined my best pantalOo.is walking through the slush 1 in the middle ot the road. I imagine thero is a garrotter under ever paving' stone, or hiding behind every lump post. Daylight somotimes shows me r the strange mistake I hadmiade in the night. 1 find that I havo been two s blocks out of my way to avoid a bro- j > ken wheelbarrow which I took to bo a j i concealed ruffian ; and havo run half a mile to get away from a pump, which I imagined was a fierce garrotter with a club raised, and have on nine occa-j ' sions crossed the street through a kncci deep puddle, to escape a molasses hogs-, head, which I supposed to he a rotund | i robber, Iving in wait for the subscri-j ' her. This state of tilings was unondut rable, and 1 accordingly armed my self for the want. I got a revolver, a bowie-knife, a dagger, a slungshot, a i sword-cane, a 44 b llv," a policeman's club, a pair of brass knuckles, and six good large paving-stones, which I carried in n ?' ~ w<i? viiiviii? j'tatu | in my over coat pocket?there wasn't an inch of me that wasn't guarded by something that would shoot, 6trike, or ' stab. I bad, to be sure, conic little , trouble in managing the entire.armory 1 1 ?I fired away four boxes of pcrrns sion caps, practising how to draw and j : tiro my revolver in the least space of i time?then I thought I'd load it, which i t I did, putting so much powder into each barrel, that I had to drive the [ , ball in at the end with a tackhammor,| then I tried to lire it, and not a barrel | would go off?then at dinner I acci-| dentally dropped it, and it all went olfi i at once, lodging three of the balls in a 1 boiled ham on the table, while thereat! ; brought up in a large bowl of mince' meat in the kitchen, and were afteri wards discovered in the pies by the| , boarders?then I sat down on my! > bowie-knife and cut my leg half off-?j i then I dropped my dagger out of the > sheath, and it went through the top of my boot and stuck into my foot?three times have I smashed my toes with my slungshot; and I have broke two entire sets of crockery, four mirrors, and all > my window glass, practising with my nlnlv cfcrwl on^tM/1 ~ UMVI 0?>Vil i My pockets are so full of my Imple> moots of death, that they are. iu the i way of my business?if I want my memorandum book, out comes my rc ' volver; if I have occasion for myportmonnaio, 1 find a " billy" in its place; instead of my penknife, I put my hand on a slungshot; when lain in a hurry for my latchkey, I can't find anything hut a pair of brass-knuckles; and I have, on tour or five different occasions, attempted to pay my hoard in paving stones, simply because I couldn't find any tiling else in my pocket.

' Despairingly, Q. K. P. D., 1\ B. i Nigger Banking. That is a capital story which is told I of Cato, an old negro in Kentucky, i noted for his peculiar kind of cunning. ; lie sncccedea, the story runs, on one occasion, in making his fellow-servants | in the neighborhood believe that bank- < itia was a verv nrofitable business : in- < somncli that they concluded to throw all their change into a common fund, and start rf bank. Old Cato, however, t9ok giKxl care to have himself constituted as 2'hc Banks to whom all the sixpences and shillings of the darkies were to be paid over. " And now," said Cato, " whenever nigga borrow sixpence out o* dis bank to buy 'bacey, ho got to come back in t'ree weeks and pay in two sixpence, and in dis way you see ebery sixpence bring anodersixpence, till a'ter awhile all do niggah get rich." Upon this principle, the (: bank" went into operation, old Cato always taking care that every darkey should " fork over" according to" bank-rules." But in the course of time some of the stockholders thought they " smelt a rat," and called on Cato to withdraw their capital from the bank, when the following conversation took placo between Cato and Jack : Jack?" Well, Cato, wo want to draw our money from do bank, and quit dis banking business." Cato?" Did you hear de news ?" Jack?"No; what news dat, Cato?" Cato?"W'y de bauk done?broke las' night." Jack?" Who care what de hank do? I tell you I want my shar' ob de money." unto?" Wall, but I tell you dat de bank am broke." , Jack?441 not talkie' about dat. I say wliar's de nunwy f' Cato?44 "NVliv, you fool, don't you know dat w'en de bank break, de money all gone, sartin 1" Jack?44 Well, but ichar de money gone to ?" Cato?44 Dat's more 'an dis niggah know. All ho know 'bout it is, dat when white folks' bank break de money always lost, and nicrgah bank no better dan tie white folks!" Jack?44 Wall, wheneber dis niggah 'gage in banking again, ho hope de cholera git him fust V' Cato?44 Berry sorry de bank broke ?berry sorry but it can't be helped now, niggah !" And Lore the reporter left tho bankers in conclave. A Great Cure-AllSeveral gentleman wore talking one evening at the bouse of a friend, when ono of them exclaimed, 44 Ah ! depend upon it, a soft answer is a great cureall." At this stage of the conversation, a bov who sat behind a table began to listen, and repeated, as he thoiirrht. rillitft liini&nlf u A on I 1 """1 *" ! swer is a groat cure-all." " Yes, that's , it," cried the gentleman, starting, and i turning round; "yes, that's it; don't j you think so, my lad ?" The boy t blushed a little at finding himself so unexpectedly addressed, but answered, " I don't know that I undorstatand you, ] sir." ( " Well, I will explain, then : In t'?e i days of my boyhood, it so happened | that, in the school to which I was sent, ' my seat was next to a lad named Tom ) Tucker. When I found he lived in a ] small house behind the academy, I began to strut a little, and talk about ] what my father was; hut as lie was a | capital scholar, very much thought of j by the boys, we were soon on pretty good terms; and so it went on for some time. Aftor awhile some fellows of my stamp, and I, witli the rest, got into a difficulty with one of the ushers, and some how or other, we got into the notion that Tom Tucker was at the bottom of it. . "'Tom Tucker! who is he V I cried, angrily. ' I'll let him know who I am !' and I went into a passion to Tom, ( and said, 4 I'll teach you to talk alnnit inc in this way 1' But ho never wink- " ed or scented in the least frightened, , but stood still, looking at mo mute as ( a lamb. 'Charles,' he said, 'you may | strke me as much as you please ; but I < shan't strike hack again ; fighting is a | jK?or way to settle difficulties. I'm 1 thinking when you are Clmrle3 Ever- , ott, I'll talk to you." "Oh what an answer was that!? ] How it cowed me down 1 So firm, , and yet so inild ! I felt there was no fun in having the fight on one side. I ( was ashamed of mysolf, iny temper, , and cveything about ine. I longed to get out of his sight. I saw what a ^oor | foolish way my stylo of doing things | was. I fv.it that Tom had completely got the better ot me; that there was power in his principles superior to { anything T liad ever seen before ; and t from that hour Tom Tucker had an in- i ' na r1 -.~nc* *n?r ^"*y*ys**ssg* Auenco over me nobody ever had before or since; it has been for good, too.? That, you see, Is the power, of a soft answer.'" Aneodote of Judge Daniels. Tho late Judge Daniels of tho Supreme Court of North Carolina was distinguished, not only for his great learning, but for his pure integrity and iunoccnt, chikVlike simplicity of character, llo had acquired the habit of swearing when a boy, and it clung to him so close, that his efforts in more mature age could not conouor the disposition. One of his brethren of ths bench requested the Judge to accompany him to a certain church, on a certain Sunday. The Judge consented. and while the offertory was in progress, and the solemn words "Lay not up for yourselves treasures uj?on earth" fee., was being uttered by the minister. mil the click, click, cliclc, approached icar and more nearer, the good old nan was seen to fumble his purse and iull out au X. He was heard to whisker to his brother bv his side and repiest the loan of a dollar. His brother nodded his head. He then nsked tor a half-dollar, his brother replied that he had no change .vith him except for his own especial lse on theoccasion. The Judgeclinchid his X a moment, hesitated, and then lastily placed it in the plute, exclaim ng?"Well, d?n yon, go 1" In the jeautiful language of Sterne?" The mousing Spirit, as he flew up to [leaven with the oath, blushed as he landed it in?and the Recording An*cl, as he wrote it down, dropped a ear upon, the page, and bloted it out brever," for never did an oath oscnpe Tom more guileless lips! It was not the Judge's proclivity for swearing, but his vast and varied acpiirmcnt8 and the simplicity and jeauty of his moral life, which caused lim to be so much respected and lovjd while living, and so deeply lainentjd while dead.?Columbus (Ira.)
