THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1867. TA12L& TALK. borne years ago, Mr. Umax, of Nutley, in Surrey, ami the late Lord King, the father of the present Karl Lovohioe, were walking on the lawn at Netley, and, great cronies as they were, they were deep in the di3cusion of poli tics, scandal, and passing events, or suoh topics as in the year on or about 1838 were available to ventilation, and likely to interest menof their standing. Suddenly a voice, conside rably imbued with the graceful taint usually on the tongue of a native of the Emerald Isle, sounded close to the elbow of Mr. Lotnajr, and in a whining tone those syllables prayed for "the laste taste of a bit vittels." Startled cut of propriety, and turning short round upon a tall beggar man, and without much choice of expression, Mr. Lomax totd the suitor for i-.iuiity to "go to ," thundering forth, at t ie same time, that "he had relieved such a constant succession of beggars, that he Lad resolved to do so no more." As Mr. Lomax made this anuunciation, he and his friend Lord King faced about to take another turn on the lawn, and the Irish beggar-man, leaning on his stick, came face to face with them. "Lord love yer honor," said the beggar, "is it to you bid me go ? I've just corned from it." Mr. Lomax, amused villi the cool, sly twinkle of- the old man's eyes, as he stated whence he had so immedi ately come, asked him, in a more good-natured tone of voice, "Well, what were they doing there f" "Down on their knees they was," replied the beggar-man, "every mother's son on 'em, a praying for the arrival of Mr. Lomax, who, they said, had long been due, and a-swearing as he'd give 'em a shillin' nil round in the way of drink to pay his footin', as soon as ever he come." "Here, you old humbug," said Mr. Lomax, laughing, giving him a guinea for his wit, "that's better than the shilling, should you be there to meet me." Among Lord Eldon's humorous answers to applications for preferment should be re membered hia, letter to Dr. Fisher, of the Char terhouse: on one side of a sheet of paper, "Dear Fisher, I cannot to-day give you the preferment for which you ask. I remain, your sincere friend, Eldon. Turn over;" and on the other side, "I gave it to you yester day." This note reminds us of Erskine'a reply to Sir John Sinclair's solicitation for a subscription to the testimonial which Sir John invited the nation to present to himself. On the one side of a sheet of paper it ran "My dear Sir John, I am certain there are few in this kingdom who set a higher value on your services than myself, and I have the honor to subscribe," on the other side it concluded, "myself your obedient faithful servant, Ers kinb.' When Count d'Orsay first came to Eng land as a very young man, and was about twenty-two years of age, he was invited to dine at Holland House, where he was seated next to Lady Holland herself, who supposed that the handsome stranger was a shy young man, awe-struck by her majestio selfishness. Owing to tl considerable abdominal develop ment, her ladyship was continually leaving her napkin slip from her lap to the ground, and as often as she did so, she smiled blandly, but authoritatively, on the French count, and asked him to pick it up. He politely complied several times, but at last, tired of this exer cise, he said, to her great surprisef "No - ferais-je pas mieux, madanie, de m'asseoir sous la table, afin de jouvoir voua passer la ser viette plus rapidement V In a very scarce book, Hal's "Parochial History of Cornwall," published at Exeter in 1750, mention is made of Killigrew, the cele brated Master of the Revels temp. Charles II, though he never was formally installed as Court Jester. The following anecdote will show that, at all events, he deserved the ap pointment even though he did not get it. When Louis XIV showed him his pictures at Paris, the King pointed out to him a picture of the Crucifixion between two portraits. "That on the right," added his Majesty, "is the Pope, and that on the left is myself." "I humbly thank your Majesty," replied the wit, "for the information; for though. I have often heard that our Lord was crucified between two thieves, I never knew who they were till now." Old M'me Rothschild, mother of the mighty capitalists, attained the age of ninety eight; her wit, which was remarkable, and her Intellectual faculties, which were of no com mon order, were preserved to the end. In her last illness, when surrounded by her family, her physician being present, she said in a sup pliant tone to the latter, "Dear doctor, try to do something . for me." "Madame, what can I do f I can't make you young again." "No, doctor, I don't want to be young again, but I want to continue to grow old." Joseph Jekyll was at the same time the brightest wit and the most shameless punster of Westminster Hall in the reign of George III. One of his best displays of brilliant impudence Was perpetrated on a Welsh judge, who was alike notorious for his greed of office and his want of personal cleanliness. "My dear sir," Jekyll observed, in his most amiable manner, to this most nnamiable personage, "you have asked the minister for almost everything else, why don't you ask him for a piece of soap and a nail-brush?" Everybody knows the story of Ounter, the pastry-cook. He was mounted on a run away horse with the king's hounds, and ex cused himself for riding against Alvanley by saying, "O, my lord, I can't hold him; he's so hot." "Jce him, Gunter I ioe him I" was the consoling rejoinder. Madame de Sevigne' had a German friend, the Princess of . Tarente, who was always in mourning for some sovereign prince or prin cess. One day Madame de Scvign6, happen ing to meet her in colors, made a low courtesy, and said, "Madame, je me rejourn de la santo de l'Europe." Lady Wallace sent a very civil message to Mr. Harris, the patentee of Covent Garden Theatre, offering him her comedy for nothing. Mr. Harris observed that her ladyship knew the exact value of it. Lord Alvanley wrote to a friend, "I have no credit with either butcher or poulterer; but if you can put up with turtle and turbot I hall be happy to see you." Louis XIV, playing at backgammon, had a doubtful throw; a dispute arose, and the surrounding courtiers all remained silent. The Count de Grammont happened to come in at that instant. "Decide the matter." said the King to him. "Sire," said the Count, "your Majesty iB in the wrong ... .now,,J replied the King "can you thus decide with out knowing the question?" "iwanq ' said the Count, Wthe matter been doubt ful, all these gentlemen present would have given it for your Majesty '-London Society! The Petersburg Index, asserting that General Pry or, now of New York, iB "as good a radical as Theodore Tilton," says that there are in that city "twenty respeotable witnBsa to the faot that he has long since indorsed the Congressional action in referenoe to the South." The Richmond Enquirer "hopes the Index is iriib taken." CITY INTELLIGENCE. (FOR AUDITION A I. LOCAL IT KMS BEB OUTBIDS PASBS. Commiwsion on South Street BnmaE. Yes terday afternoon the Commission to superintend the building of a bride over tbe Schuylkill at South stmt held a meeting, Mr. John Welsh in the chulr, ntid Mr. Dropsie acting as Secretary. A motion was made "tbat the quorum of this CommlltPf.be tlxed at nine members." Mr. Phillips moved to amend "Provided, That no contract, appropriation, or payment thall be made by authority of a lees number than a majority of the whole number ot the Commlt-Biou."

Your Committee state that it Is the opinion of your counsel, as also their opinion, iiint me city linn no rne. Mr. Wctherill desired to know if, under the circumstances, the Commission had law enough on their bide to proceed with the work ? Mr. Phillips said that if the decision of Juch;e Read i-bould be reverted by the Supreme Court, tne commission would nave no power. Mr. Dropsie wan of the opinion that the city had no cane, and lie had no doubt of the power ot the Commission to proceed at once witii the work. Mr. Lawson moved that the Committee on Plans be instructed to a lvertise for proposals for plans and estimates lor the construction of the bridge Agreed to. The subject of employing an architect and superintendent was discussed, but no final action was taken. Mr. Wethirill desired to know how the ex penses ot the Commission are to be paid ? Mr. Welsh, Chairman, stated that if the acts of tbe Commission are legal and right, the Councils would have to make an appropriation. Mr. Wcthenll moved that an application be made to Councils for an appropriation of $1500 to defray the expenses ot the Commission. Adopted. Mr. Mann submitted the following: Xesotwd, That the ollicera of thlB Coninit-alon be In striicied to communicate to Councils the action taken by the Supreme Court, diHniiHSing their bill, and to request the co-operation of Councils to carry into efltct the laws relative to the duties ol this Com mitnion; and further, to take such action as will atlord us tbe benefit of the altt ndauce ot the Mayor and President of each Council at our meetings, and the aid and assistance of tbe Chief Engineer, to superin tend and direct, as Is contemplated and required by existing laws. Adjourned, Sunday School Teachers' Meeting.

Matthew Newkirk, .Esq., presided, and the opening piayer was given by Rev. Mr. Bar nitz. A portion of eacred Scripture was read by Kev. Mr. Torrence, and the exercises then opened formally by an address from the pastor o! the Cburch, Rev. A. A. Willitts, giving a comprehensive view of Sabbath School work, and urging those engaged In it to persevere and continue. He was followed by Rev. G. A. Peltz, who gave 6ome interesting hints regarding the establishment of adult Sunday Schools, illus trating tbe subject by facts drawn from his own experience. At the conclusion of Mr. Peltz' remarks, Rev. Alfred Taylor gave some illustrations of the plan of teaching Suuday 8chools by the use of tbe blackboard. Tbe attendance was large, and the proceedings quite interesting. There were representations present from most of the reli gious denominations of the city. This afternoon the same gentlemen will ad dress a meeting to be held in the church at 3 o'clock, as will also Rev. Richard Newton, D.D., and Rev. Ralph Wells, of New York.
