Barnum Forever. Whenever anything odd Is to be discovered in the world, Barnum is sure to get it. The Siamese Twins, Torn Thumb, double-headed snakes, and six-headed calves, are all announced to the world first bv Barnum. It is Said that he intends soon to exhibit one of the most

wonderful prodigies it has ever been his money-making fortune to possess, and that is, a panoramic view of whig promises before an election, and performances after, The sight is said to be ludicrously magnificent. We don't doubt it. We find our old friend Sol. Wright, brother to the Captains Wright, of the Belle and Wisconsin, in the clerk's office of the Swiftsure. We had the pleasure, some two years since, of taking an office-hunting tour in company with Sol. - he being a candidate for county treasurer, and wes eeking an office less lucrative. If he is affable and polite to the people between this city and Louisville as he then was to the "white male citizens above the age of twenty-one years" in Switzerland and we know he will be they will all travel on the Swiftsure. On yesterday afternoon the Ben. Franklin, having everything fixed in apple-pie order, lay in wait at Carrollton for the Wisconsin, designing to pass her under way between that place and this. When the Wisconsin came down to Carrollton, the Franklin's object was understood, and she started for Madison, making the run down, a distance of twelve miles, in twenty-four minutes. As this is considerably less time than it takes for the Franklin to run twelve miles, as a matter of course, the Wisconsin was landed at the wharf in this city before the Franklin's passengers had begun to think of Madison. If the Franklin wishes to gain a reputation as a fast boat, she had better keep clear of the Wisconsin, for she is the only boat above the Falls that has never been passed under way. The Holland custom of placing looking- glasses outside the windows, to see who is passing the street without the observer being seen, has been introduced in our city at the New York Hotel, and also at the Irving House. It is a much more modest way of gratifying curiosity than standing on a hotel stoop, and with an eyeglass impertinently scanning passers by. N. Y. Sun. Suppose glasses yvere placed so that persons in the street could, u nobserved, see what is going on in the houses, would n't there be a greal jmnrovemeiu in some pcop!(?.s m;inners whon al home ! frrihit for the Mexican war and his ex-r-i!-it 1 J 1 1 r i rr- 11 .-.iii,ininrn Iwin Tl T lnr soldiers and men who are qualified for the stations to to which they aspire.

The successful j applicant was a man yvho denounced the ' war, and yvho, in his place in the Indiana J Legislature, boasted that he hailed irom a county (Wayne) that had rot sent one vol- : unteer to the Mexican yvar.

Cr-The case of .Mrs. Howard, indicted ! for murder, was begun in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas, at Cincin- t nati, on Monday. A jury was empanne-1- j ed after a great deal of trouble, many persons objecting to serve, on account of j

conscientious ecruples in relation to capital j punishment. The unfortunate woman has : the sympathy of almost the entire comma- i nuy, and even if she be convicted, wdl : doubtless be pardoned.

An Extensive Name. Mr- Prince, a respectable citizen of Boston, was recently journeying on the continent of Europe. Before visiting Germany, he provided himself with a passport in which hi namnnri rnsidence wadnlv insrrihed. tired iTorins. At a second and a third town they were received in the same costlv magnificence. The two Americans finding that at the rate things I were going on, their cash would be exhausted before they arrived in the centre of the first circle, inquired of the host if private gentlemen like themselves coaid not pass through the German towns without so much ostentation and expense. The host informed them that they could, if they Phased, travel incog-; but then,' said he, bowing obsequiously to Mr. Trince, 'it will be necessary ' .... . . . lor nis nignness to take rus title out ot the pass port.' That at once explained the whole mater and Mr. Triuce having caused the proper corrccuon to be made, went through the remainder 0f his tear w ithout being annoyed with further , regal honors.

THE FIRST GREY HAIR,

Tune's hand la ever there, sweet Kate, Yet let the pight remain; It gives rne no regretful throb, Nor should it yield me pain. 'Tis very white, I grant thee, Kate, Yet pluck it not, I pray, Why should thy loving heart regret That I am tu'rainrj grey! Your lustre?, Kate, have ta'en tlieirtlight Since thou and I firff mot; And darkened moons have sped since then, And murky suns have set Yet right from that warm heart of thine Has been around my way, And with so dear a guide and friend I would again turn grev. The wife may view with unconcern Time's signet nn her brow, Who never gave the wearer's heart A single throb of woe. And if angelic worth, sweet Kate, Might keep the curl at bay, Time ne'er had placed in triumph there, His banneret of grey. Then let the stranger live, sweet Kate, Amid his neighbors dark, Until they, too, in time shall pale Beneath the spoiler's mark. 'Tis verv white, I grant thee, Kate, et pluck it not, I pray; Why should thy loving heart regret That I am turning grey? The following law case came oil in Crittenden county, Ky., recently: A Kentucky lawyer, a Yankee lawyer, and a Crittenden county justice, all proceeded to Ksq'r. L s office, to try a case of "assault and battery." After sitting for a considerable lime around the fire, the old lisq. rose up and placed his docket on bistable, and said, "Men, court are opened to try the ensuing case; who's for the plaintiff?" whereupon, Mr. II , the Ken

tucky lawyer rose and made a very low bow, and j payment is made. This rule is adhered to in said, am forlhe plaintiofT, in this case squire." c'Ver hljt--Well, then," says the Esq., "who's foment?" j j:,r Cou in; Auditor. Mr. E. rose and pointed to the down east lawyer. y,n. I'.i.f tor: Please announce Isaac H. TavSays the 'Squire, "My young friend from away ! t.or a h man in everv way cualifb-d lor the of-

cow n r.ast, aoout 1 miles beyant wiire sun rises, is foment. 1" Mr. 31 , the little Yankee lawyer, got up somewhat astonished at the colloquy, but undertook to get his client out of the scrape, by filing a plea, that the case, was brought up wrong; but Esq. L overruled Mr. M , and said he "done up everything according to law," and that the "papers in the was all right." Mr. M. bere tried to bring in some authority for making his motion, but Esq. L stopped him, and enquired what authority he had for making the motion. Lawyer M. said his authority was the Kentucky JusticeEsq. L. remarked, "see here, my little Yankee, you can't come that over me with your Jury's Prudence (Jurisprudence) this, sir, i not a jury case neither is it a criminal code case but, sir, this is a case of 'Salt and Hitter." Mr. M. "If the Court pb-ase, I would like to know where it gets its authority, for the course taken in this case." Says Esq. L , Sir. I got my authority from Ibid!" "Ibid!" says lawyer M., "I know of no sucli authority as Ibid!" "You i . . don't!" exclaimed Esq L., "Ibid vV Viz are looked upon in Kt-ntncky as the very best law authority that can be obtained." 'You are riht "Squire' says lawyer II. "You see my young friend from down East, knows nothimg about our h ntu.ky laws, or he would certainly acknowledge Ibid and Viz to be good authority-" "M- opinion exact ly," says Esq. L. "Any mm who pretends to practice law in Kentucky, and has never rad Ibid and Viz, has no right to practice law hi this intelligent community; yoa had better go home my young friend, and read. Ibid and Viz b-fure you undertake to plead law before one cf th oldest Esquires in Kentucky, who has learned Ibid and Viz by heart." Here lawyer B. rose and said, '-You mint excuse my young friend for his impudence; down East where he was raised, they make their living by their impudence: Why, sir, where lie was brought up, they make wooden nutmegs, wooden encumber seeds, :c. Here lawyer M discovered that lawver P had the confidence of tiie Court, and he knew nothing about Ibid and Viz, left in p-r-feet disgust. ... Sove Qi'KRiEs.
