Richmond wants a regular dramatic company for her theater, and is not content with the strolling bands oi'performers whose presence lowers her standard to that of a sm ill country town.

A blue-eyed girl in Denton county, Tc::a- picked one hundred and iil'iy pounds of cotton in one day. The Houston Union paternally remarks ''Jiless the child -May she go' a husband who is worthy of her."

Of the prominent and prosperous newspaper publishers in Cincinnati, two were boiler makers, one a c:irpenler, a fourth a shoemaker, a iii'iiia count 1-3' .schoolmaster, but in.t one a practical printer.

At at f:ml!y party in Londonderry, X. II., Dec. at I he house of Mr. Mason JJoyd, there were present eight persons over 72, six o\( SO, lour over 87, and two over years old.

Hrigham Young's furtune is estimated to be not far from §'8,000,000 or i'!,000,GUI', and to be r"pidly increasing. lie is evidently desirous of leaving, when lie dies, §2,0»U or ,0J0 i['iece to his numerous •widows.

Some one r«t San Francirco has sent a box of paving-stones, charges unpaid, to Wendell Phillips. Tlie boldness of the Caiifornie.n's metaphor must be admitted, in spite of Ins meanness in leaving the charges unpaid.

The unusual celebration—a Pearl Wedding—took' place in Rergen, N. Y., on Thursday evening. .Mr. and Airs. George Tiee were the groomsman and bride, tin: f.:rmer Ul years old, the latter 87. They liavo 5!) living descendants.

Mr. Hammond the great revivalist recently preaching in Carson City, tlie f.ir West, thought ia had succeeded in converting a notorious scamp named (ins. G.i/day. tin:', however, soon convinced the enthusiastic Evangelist of his mistake by stealing his overcoat and his wife's laces.

The night editor of a daily paper wrote this l:ead lino to one of his cablo dispatches: 'The Rritish .lion shaking his mane." He woke up the ftaby with his "eloquence" next morning when he found the printers' version of the matter staring him in the face thus: "The Rritish lion skating in Maine."

A Pittsburglar got into a man's room, and was robbing the bureau, when the occupant of the bed struck the burglar with apiece of crockery, which litted so tight on his head that ho had to have it broken before it could bo removed, lie said he never wanted to enter that man's chamber .again.

Wm. Wirt Svkes puts on entirely too many -'scallops" for a lecturer. The other night he declined to go on withtlio show aL a Pennsylvania town because thero were only nine people in the room, including the country editor. What would he have? Does lie expect a million of people to hear him? If Mr. Sykes can't learn to bohavc himself better than that, he had better retire and let sweet Olive do the lecturing lor the lirm.

A neat little farce, intended to do honor to Von Molttie, is carried out daily at the 1'otel de Petersburg, in Rerlin, where the German strategist ordinarily dines when in that city. His chair at the table is, at each meal, turned down, and is decor.ited with a laurel wreath, and no one is allowed to occupy it, the cover is always l:.id as if Yon Moitko wero about to come fo dinner. Rv a proper presistenee in this business tho hotel Ronifaco secures a good a 1 veriLsement of his establishment. 'The rlinJso call his action patriotic. We call it humbug.

Mr. Plan-served as a marine on board ot the Niagara in the battle of Lako Erie, September 10, 1813. lie was then 33 years of ago. Some years after tho battle the Common wealth of Pennsylvania presented him with an elegant silver medal, appropriately inscribed, as a memorial of his gallantry and uood conduct. In October last the old veteran furnished tlie Historical Society of this city with his recollections of the engagement. Rut few survivors now remain."

Consolidation of Telegraph Companies. We have persistently advocated the consolidation of the companies competing with the Western Union Company for" telegraph business. That such a practical consolidation wa-s the only alternative to their ultimate ruin, there has been no doubt tor along time past, It therefore gives us much pleasure to announce a verv important movement in iliis direction, "and one ou which we heartily congratulate all the parties concerned.

The Pacific and Atlantic, the Franklin and the Bankers' and Brokers' Telegraph Companies have entered into an arrangement, which, although it does not actually consolidate them into one company, is a complete consolidation of all their'business interests. The lines of these companies will hereafter le worked uaderone management, and from the suae otiiees.

MAKING CJOOL USB OF I Irs TIME.—As will lie observed by reference to tlie Sullivan Union of this week, its able editor made a good dispo-ilion of his time, while visiting this city for a couple ot days last week, "writing up" the business places of our beautiful and prosperous city. Come and do it again "Ike."

A voirxfi gentiem in of this city yesterday shipped by express to a ladv i'ri'Mid in Cincinna! i, a hole's tail nineteen inches lo:i :nd weigh inn twelve ounces. It was billed as "hash."—LaFayellc Jcuracil.

We know of several yor, .g- men that lost more than that because of his neglect to keep the heart chained one of them lost so much, that "1 lie places that once knew him now know him no more," and the lady with whom he boarded will sell bis note, for about a 1'or'y dollar board bill, at a large discount.

Tut PA I STKKIOT WAU. f'apf:. Potter opens another campaign in the Parke street war through the coiumns of the Journal iliis morning, having abandoned the Krprcss, and ordered his subscription stopped several days since, because of the admission of an article from Col. Dowiing, as we are informed, and because of tl'elr refusal to admit one from him.

ADMIRED.—A young lady in this city, who, it is currently reported is one of the "rosy cheeked school marms" mentioned in the Mail .sometime since, has been observed oi'iate by some of her intimate friends, to occupy very much of her spare moments in looking at a photograph. List evening, one of her gentleman friends discovered that it was a photograph of herself. The best of the joke, however, is the fact that the gentleman friend who made the discovery has one just like it, which, it is said, he admires even more than she!

Thk local editor returned from Terre Haute yesterday mad at Niisson. He wanted to fall in love, but didn't have a chance. [N". B. This by the sub.]—lioa-ns-villc Courier.

It was"a very lamentable oversight on the part of some one that Miss Niisson was not notified that the local editor of the Courier was coming to Terre Haute upon the occasion of her concert for the the purpose of falling in love with her, for had she been aware of the distinguished honor in store for her, she certainly would have appeared in fulfillment of her engagement, notwithstanding her physical indisposition.

A vorxcj lady in Yincennes, while canvassing that city for recruits for a Sunday school, applied at the door of a bagnio, not knowing the character of tho pjaee, and upon entering discovered thero an interesting irty of some half-do/en or more of the most hiuhly respected men of the city —--shining lights in the social tlnnament" of Vineenncs. Tho shame and confusion of the lad were l'ully equaled by the consternation of the xjartj-surprised.—Inrfian-(tpolifi Sentinel.

What an astounding revelation that must have been to the young lady referred to above, who, in the purity of her innocent heart, entered that house on a miss-on of Heaven, to Mod there those "shining lights in the social firmament of Yincennes," as the Sentinel calls them. No douht they were men whom she had before known as members of the church, and moving in the best circles of society. Ifer feelings toward them, whenever she is so unfortunate as to be thrown into their society, wsll henceforth justly be of disgust and loathing. Have we any such men here? We hope not.

She claims that she has been married 14 years, has a child ten years of age, and has always been with her husband, and that, she is a virtuous wife that she came to the purgatory on Fifth street because she did not know what a vile institution of degradation it was until she had made her engagement to sing there, and had then entered upon the discharge of the responsibilities of that engagement and' that she.

swindied in two ways first,

by false weight in gelling lii.s hogs on the market to Perkins, who, with one Matterson, lias a store ou Grand River street and secondly, by the "double ten'-' dodge. The price charged tor the pork was $172, and Perkins, he alleges, gave him but $162. The money was counted out to him, and lie had, as he supposed, the full amount, bijt a few hours afterward, in again counting the money, he found that lie had not the right sum, within $10. He made a complaint, and Perkins was accordingly arrested. The manner in which he thinks he was cheated is by

what is known as tho "double ten" dodge. A roll of bills is held by the payee, firmly in the hand—there generally being several tens among the number—and counted before the seller. Previously, however, a S10 note has been doubled so that the figures on the back and face are counted as belonging to Iwo difit-rent notes. The farmer receives the money and puts it in his pocket-book, satisfied that it is correct, but afterwards finds that he is minus several dollars. In this case Perkins claims that he borrowed tiie money of Matterson, and did not look to see if the amount was correct, aud if there has been any swindling done he is not a party to it. Another man, who assisted in weighing the hogs, was arrested yesterday afternoon also, and the case will be brought up for examination probably to-day.—Detroit Post.
