The pedestal for the reception of the bronze bust of Gilmorc Simms, which has for some time been in course of erection on the Battery, was com pleted by Mr. Viett last evening, and is now ready for tho reception of the bust. The committee have not yet appointed a day for the unveiling of the monument. The pedestal is a beautiful piece of work, and when then t-hc bust is placed in position the monument will add much to the at tractions of White Point Garden.? jVetes und Courier. Just a Patch. A few days ago a Trial Justice who pits more than lie stands, went into the store of Daniel Jackson, Esq.* in the village of Windsor and enquired the price of some pants cloth. Being told 50 cents per yard, he replied that he would take a patch. Tho merchant at lirst was loth to sell so small a piece, but remember ing bow low tho fee bill had been cut, ho measured the little T. J., and gave him Hie required fit, about the size of a number 2 horse shoe.?At hen Jicvieto. Tiikrk was never but one duel fought in Illinois. One ol the bel ligerents was killed on the field. The survivor was tried for murder, was convicted and hanged by the neck until be was quite dead. Gene ral Logan may have heard of this pcrap of history. A well dressed young man and a young woman richly attired, have been doing some of the principal in terior 'owns of Pennsylvania. They represent themselves as a runaway match, give the names of prominent -Pittsburgh lawyers as friends, and under the pretense that they want money to reach home and be forgiven Jjfive raised considerable funds. The richly-attired young lady is a beard less youth and the well dressed young man a swindler. J)r. John Brown .Smith, of Leleher ?lOtvn, Massachusetts, has scruples about paying his poll tax, and writes from the county jail, where bo is im prisoned on a collector's warrant, as follows: "I shall probably remain here during the remainder of my life. The law leaves rib way of escape for a man who has conscientious convic tions against paying the tax, as life imprisonment is the result, unless otherwise discharged by law. I can't pay the tax without violating my principles, and I never will do that." Man is a hbblc creature. On a Saturday morning he comes down (own and spends sixty cents at a bar bershop, making himself look sweet. Ho will spend as much more on a game of billiards?also get his boots blacked?buy two cigars for himself and a friend?making in all about two dollars for his personal gratifica tion. He will then buy a box of strawberries for twenty five cents, ntnl go up home and help cat them. The strawberries show that ho is ready to d-my himself, and that he never forgets his darling little wife. Tue Braid ford Expositor stales that a short time since a son of Mr. lames Turner, of the East Ward, drove a nail through the wall of one ol the rooms. To his intense sur prise a stream of honey pure as crys tal came <;o/.ing out. Further exam ination revealed a stock of the deli cious store sufficient to supply an or dinary family a year. The space be tween tho wall is six inches, and for four feet in one direction, and half as much in another, tho comb extended. Tho house is rough-cast, and the swarm of woikcrs had entered by a crevice near I he caves. A married man writes to the Chi oapo Times that the bachelors are so like the Chinese in many ways that they must go. He charges that sin gle men can do work lor less than married ones, and that, therefore, they aic a causo of cheap labor; that they are not generally as good citi ;s.Mis, and that, in short, it Is ne cessary to tho welfare of this great country that bachelors stand not on the order of going, but go at, once? and enter into matrimony. There is undoubtedly a responsive, echo to Ulis in every maiden's heart, whether ?She be advanced in years or not.
