Jn a fomoto part of Qernany, a i'ajriqer yacantly turned up with his plow 13,000 Human coins, of an unknown metalic composition. They are thick and heavy, and dato back to Marc Antony, Hadrian and Commodus. Tho heads are finely done, and the inscriptions ijnusually plain, ijjhe Lalviyette Journal says': "We gaw* a man at the hay n^apkot, yesterday, who followod a poor cow some distance, agd took a wisp of hiyy out of her mouth, which shohad tthihed from nis load.

Tho young man who will distanca his competitors is he who masters his business, who preserves his integrity, who lives clearly and purely, who devotes his leisure to the acquisition of knowledge, who never gets in debt, who gains friends by deserving them, aud who saves his spare money. 4l}out t\venty couples i|* 3iew Orleans haVe been greatly shocked'upon learning that a clerk in Judge Shelley's office forged the name of the Judge to their marriage licenses, and appropriated to his own use the money that they paid therefor.

Additional Local Xews.

A LADY of this city was so unreasonable as to resent her "hubby's" remonrnonstratiiig with her because of her j^oiug to a ball with another man and remaining away until four o'clock next morning, by throwing a rolling pin at his devoted head on account of a suggestion he made to the effect that she had better stay at home and help attend to her sick child. Some women are easily displeased.

ANOTIIKH RUNAWAY.—The team of Mr. C. Barbour, attached to a wagon, took fright yesterday afternoon and took that vehicle up Seventh street at a lightning speed, scattering the wreck along that thoroughfare in tho most profuse manner imaginable, finally bringing up in the neighborhood of home with the tongue minus, the "running gear," aiid everything else pertaining to that vehicle. No damage was done any person.

NILSSOX.—Let every one interested in music or musicians, remember that on Thursday niglit of this week Xilsson will appear at the Opera House and render to those who attend the sweetest music that they ever had the pleasure of hearing previous to that time. Miss Nilsson promises our people her best efforts to make amend for the disappointments to which they have been so unavoidably subjected, and as a meritorious reward for the patience with which they have borne the disappointments, and the faithfulness with which they have retained their tickets. We look forward with high anticipations to that eventful evening, and trust that our readers look forward to it with high hopes and anticipations. We have no fear of disappointment this time, for Mile. Jwlssou oppressed herself to some of our citizens, when calling on her iu Cincinnati, as determined to give us the sweetest melodies in her power.

I-OUSY PLAYS GHOST.— The sensa* tionoi ghost rumors which were r.epor.ted aud commented upon by the morning papers sometime since, turns out to be a romance in real life, brought about by the green-eyed monster jealousy. A young railroader has for sometime past been paying his respects to a fair young lady who resides in the suburbs of the city. Recently becoming convinced that his fair inamorata was playing a double hand, f^nd in hi§ absence, \ycas not only tolerating the visits of a hated rival, but was bestowing upon him more tievvJtoU* ing smiles than she favored him with. He accordingly assumed the disguise of a ghost and repaired to the residence of the young lady's parents and made observations of tbe '{situation'? which resulted in his worst fears being substantiated by

the deceitful and hated rival, with tvhiuu view hedid unearthly things. The cruel parient" of the girl, not being a believer in spiritual visitations has proqqred a double-barrelled shot gun, each barrel of which is charged with a handful of penetrating grief called bird shot, with which he proposes to investigate the spiritual or mundane qualities of tlio ghost. We give the young man fair, warning that if he does not discontinue his ghostly visits he will'ha

IMPORTANT TO LA.DIES.—For evening toilets, white gloves are still in vogue, but those of the most delicate tint of straw color, which appear white hy gaslight, are the most disUnqHC,

Misaes with handsome hair wear it in two long braids, tied with ribbon bows. A stylish arrangement i3 to separate the braids into two strands near the ends, and form two curls, pendant from each braid.

Trains for evening wear are very much shortened, for which the ladies should be grateful, as so few are able to wear a train gracefully, and it Is always an incumbrance in a crowded assembly 'or when dancing.

White linen collars, of the veritable nautical shape, are foretold, so wid?at the back as to resemble little capes. They an- to be supported in front by a navy knot of crepe cle chene, or ribbon. The vast expanse of linen will hardly be becoming to the small shoulders of our belles.

Neckties with broad ends tied in a sailor's knot aro fashionable with the present style of linen collars, which are standing in the back, with the front corners turned over. The most fashionable bow for the neck is made of a bias piece of silk fringed on all sides, and tied in a careless bow.

The chignon is quite gone out of fashion, but the coiffures of the day are mor£ elaborate than ever, and every effort should be made to have them appear loose and neglige. The hair is raised in waves in front, then from the top of the head it is arranged in curls of different lengths, or in two roleaux divided in the middle by a plait. It requires tact, taste and ingenuity to arrange the hair becouiinglj'.

High colored merinos and bright, warm plaids are always worn by chiN dren in the cold seasons but at this time there appears to be a decided preference for the shade of blue called azurline. It is a peculiar shade, very bright and deep, and looks beautifully when trimmed with a shade or two lighter, or else entire black. In this color, we have Irish pop lins, fine French poplins, velours, and the whole family of merinos and reps. All of which is very nice, if you can afford it.

Funding the Debt.

At last much later than we had hoped —the Secretary of the Treasury gives notice( that he will attempt to fund the bulk of the national debt in bonds bearing lower rates of interest, so as to reduce the burden of that debt. If fifteen hundred millions of the five-twenties can be funded even at five per cent., the debt will be lessened by the sum of fifteen millions per annum if all the bonds advertised by the Secretary should be taken at par on his terms, the saving to the American people would be rather more than twenty-five millions per annum. Let us all do our best, therefore, to promote and secure the funding of the debt.
