Hat what we have not heard before is anything like the reasons which an Irish parson rjlves tor writing to that hotel-keeper to say that he, the parson, was not overcharged, aud for wishing the fact published.- The reasons are that he is "a de scendant of Wallace and an admirer of Soot land." After this we affeotionately pat it to the Standard is it worth while holding oat for the Irish Church f Pleasing News from Paraguay. We are Tery glad that llumaita has fallen at last. It Las been a Bore affliction to the small wits. The word cruelly suggested a joke, but some how evaded the epigrammatist. "Humanity" was nearest, but wouldn't go on all fours. The fall of the place, which will no longer hinder commercial enterprise, is a gain to civilization, but that is a secondary consideration. We con gratulate the long-tantalized word-catchers ou Brazil having cracked her nut. EriGRAM OP ANCIENT GREECE. There was a Centaur, he went mad, which people thus espied He put a bit into his mouth, and strove him self to ride. Not to be Caught. Mr. Walt Whitman, the American bard, has published a poem here, in whiuhghe elegantly likens his own soul to a spider. That is his business. We suppose he knows all about it.

The reason why the sapient directors of certain railway oompanies have raised the fares; it must have been done "to effect a clearance" of their passengers I AccipbHawkI A contemporary says, "We are informed that the Champagne Hawking Club is broken up." Well, we don't wonder at it, for we should think that hawking cham pagne was not a very remunerative trade a hawkward business, in fact. A license to sell beer and ale to be drunk on the premises seems better than such a hawker's license. Full Houses. The Surrey opens with a new piece by Mr. Watts Phillips, entitled Land Hats and Water Rata. The water rats, we presume, will be miced, but the land rats won't be dry, so the management will find them (m)'oueers of the fullest description. Your rat doesn't like empty houses. Fbeshfields and Pastures New. Three members of the Alpine Club, Messrs. Fresh field, Moore, and Tucker, have been doing more than "thinking of the icy Caucasus." They have visited the great chain, and have ascended some of its loftiest peaks. They de scribe the inhabitants as ' 'lawless and rapa cious" nay, more, "lazy, lying, and extor tionate." The three gentlemen may congra tulate themselves that thU is a free country.

It is adding insult to injury 1 An American abolitionist who went South before the war to examine into the state of the slaves began to preaob abolition to the nigger waiter at his hotel. Darkey listened very quietly, but said nothing until the abolitionist referred to selling flesh and blood for dollars, and mentioned a sum. Then Ebony drew himself up with an air of pride, and deolined to be classed with "trash" that want so cheap. "Dis hotel habben't none of dem, I can tell ye. None o' yer forty dollar niggers here I" We think the "gentleman giving up his establishment" needs not to give up his position too. He should stand out for a Letter price. LITERATURE. REVIEW OK NKW BOOKS: Gold Elsie, from the German of E. IfarlHt. By Mrs. A. L. Wister. Published by J. B. Lip. pincott & Co. This novel is by the author of "Old Mara sf lie's Secret," a translation of which by Mrs. Wister wus published some months ago, aud which immediately obtained a well-deserved popularity. The praseut work, however, is to our fancy the best of the two, and we can recom mend it to readers of fiction as a delightful story of middle-class German society. TUo scene U laid in the Thuringian forest, and although the character ure those of common every-Jay life, and the plot does not carry them out of the ordinary current of probable every-3ay adven tures, the author has contrived to throw an air of genuine romance about the story. The characters are well individualized, and "Gold EUrte,'herselfis n charming portraituroot an unaf lected, straight-forward, modest maiden, strong in her own innocence and unconscious of guile. The story of "EUio's" love is well tola, and tbe book altogether is one which the reader will bo loth to lny aside until it is finished, after having once commenced its perusal. A Woman's Thoughts About Women, fly Was Mulock. Published by T. B. I'e.crson Si Bro thers. When this work was originally republished in this country several years tigo, it was exteu tlvely rend ard rommented upon. LiVe every thing written by Miss Mulock (Mrs. Cra'k), It ii well worth rcatPnp, ior, without Htt'-niptiutr to folve any problems, or to develop new tbeor.es she gives a woman's thoughts about matteri concerning her sex in a manner that entitle9, them to a respectful hearing. Tlie author says: "In this book many women will find simply the expression of what they have themselves, con' sclously or unconsciously, oftentimes thought! and tho more deeply, perhaps, because it hm never come to the surface In words or writing. Had it not been planned aud completed honestly, carefully, solemnly, and even pain, fully, with a keen Hi n.o of all it might do or lcavfi undone; and di I not I believe it to be in some degree a good book, likely to effect some good, I would nefer have written or published it." iDd the book Is a cood one, likely to do good. The chapter on ' Loft Women," lor sound phi lanthropy and real Christian philosophy, is worth all the diatribes ever written by Women's Bights advocates, who believe that women have as much right to keep paramours ai men have to keep mistresses. MIjs Mulock brings her strong common sense aud pute womanly spirit to the consideration ot the subject; and women who have hearts to pitv the unfortunate of their sex will rise from the perusal of this chapter with a higher aud abetter sense of their duty. "A Woman's Thoughts About Women" is a book that ought to bsvu a place in every house, hold library, to be read aud re-read; for its pure, high-minded, and practical suggestions have a tchI and pernieueut value far above the vltu" prrationsof women, probably not less sincere, but certainly not endowed with the sam heaven-born gilt of common ecnie as Miss Mulock. - From J. P. Skelley & Co., No. 21 S. Sovenlh street, we have received "Charley Watson," an interesting story tor boys, in which the evils of intemperance are sbowu up iu a manner that is likely to make an impression on the mind of the reader. v .
