A BLANO CATECBIHM.
Q. What ia an Aristoorat ?
A. A Swell, a Nob.
Q. Is there a distinction between a Swell
and a Nob ?
A. Rayther so. All Nob3 are Swells, but a
Swell ain't neoesaarily a N!ob.
Q. Give an example.
A. The Markis o' Aatings, he's a Nob and
he's a Swell; Augustus Smith, in some
Government hoillce or other, as goes about
with Mar kisses and dresses no end he's a
Swell, but he ain't a Nob.
Q. Whence do you deiive the appellation
Mob f
A. From a door-handle. As there's always
a'most a knob to a handle, so in sooiety it's
the handle to the same as makes the Nob.
Q. Into what classes do you divide Society ?
A. Into Noba, which includes regular Nobs:
Swells, which includea Tiptoppera, Regular
Swells, Cheap Swells, Gents, Snobs, and
Cockywaxes.
Q. What is a Regular Nob?
A. As aforesaid. Handle to name, tin, togs,
and all complete.
Q. What is a Tip-top Swell?
A. Mostly Coves ia four-iu-'auda. From
twenty to thirty-five.
Q. A Regular Swell?
A. He is a older cove from thirty-live to
fifty. He rayther runs ta fat, but there ain't
a speck on him anywhere, and his boots and
tile are out-and-out.
Q. The terms Cheap Swell, Gent, and Saab
require no, explanation. What, then, is a
Cockywax?
A. It's a term of endearment, and may in
clude any of the above, or may be a class by
itself, without a swell or nob in it. Cocky
waxes are any age. If addressing a Cockywax
you qualify it by prefixing "old" or "young."
Q. Yon mention Togs; whence ia this word
derived f
A. Undoubtedly from the Latin Toga.
"Togs" means dress.
Q. When was the word Cove first used ?
A. It was imported by the Romans, and wa3
first used in an abbreviated form by the Bri
tish whenever they B&wCvvinarius, i. e., a sol
dier in a war-chariot.
Q. Explain and give derivations of the words
Trump, Brick, Chap, GuJin, and Bloke. Also
in each case give your reference.
A. I will. Walker I Exit Answerer.

, Washihotow, Oct. 18.
There Is no doubt that the proposition to put a
new Democratic ticket In tho field Is received with
favor both by the President and Chief Just ico
Chase.
The Intelligencer's editorial favoring the move
ment was inspired from the White JIouso, and
enough Is known of tho character of tho gout le
mon gathered at tho residence of the Chief Justice
last night to make it certain that they would not
entirely eschew a discussion of so congenial a sub
ject. Hancock has had enongh of Democratic blandish
ments, and says that their defeat is now certain
w hatever they may do.
Hosecrans says it is too late for a change of front;
that the party lias fallen irretrievably Into tho
bands of tho rebels, and must sutler tho conse
quences. Montgomery Blair says the mistake was in not
putting Prank at the head of tho ticket.

tract for postago stamps to the National Bank
Note Company, of New York. They allege that
the award has been made to the highest Instead of
to them, tho lowest bidders, and that tho gov
ernment will therefore bo called upon to pav 8
cents per thousand, or JWO.OOO per annum, or k 120,
000 for four years, more to the National Hank Note
Company than It would have been required to pay
Butler & Carpenter for the same supplies.
From South Carolina.
ChahI-kstok, Oct. 10 There was a largo meet
ing here this evening to hear Hon. John Quincy
Adams speak. In the course of his speech Mr.
Adams said, If Grant Is elected it will not be as bad
for the south as many here appear to think. That
they should remember, however, above all things,
that whether they like It or not, they could do no
thing. They could not again go to war. Where
would they get munitions, or even banners. The
policy of the south Is peace.
The north desires assurances that slavery will not
be re-established, neither in its old form nor yet as
a punishment for crime, and there must bo perfect
freedom of speech. Then, but not until then, can
there be perfect reconstruction. He added that all
cause for bad feeling between the north and south
bad passeil away, and he hoped that soon Massachu
setts and South Carolina would again stand side by
side as brothers and friends, as they had in the days
of the devolution.
From Georgia.

The New York Birald furnishes the follow
ing information about Houdon's staiueotWasu
iigton: "Eipbt ycaTS oco the Committee on Arts and
Sciences, under a report to the Common
Council of this city, recommended tue purchase,
fortte adornment of tho CilyHall.of a copy
in bronze of the Houdoo ktatue of Gejre
Washington. Before the icport could be acted
utoD, the breaking out of the war diverted the
attention of our people to other aud more
pmsiDg matters than art. and, moreover, the
owDer and artificer of the copy (the late W. J.
Hubard) was then livini? in Virmnla.wiih which
State all compinnicatiou had been broken oil'.
The work itself which had been biouht tu
this city with tbe view of offering it to the
njuiiiclpol authorities was never returned, but
siill remains here awaiting the disposal of Mr.
Hubard's representative?." Ii is now proposed,
in default of the acquisition of so tine a work
by the crporatioo. to purchase it for the
Park by private subscvipiiorjj and it is not
doubted that when our citizens shall have made
tbemselves acquainted with the surpassing
merits of Houdon's sutue aud this bronze fac
nimiie the money will be cheerfully supplied.
With the desire of contributing to the accom
plishment of this end we have a le wotds to
say of the sculptor, the original statue In marble,
and the replica which the citizens of New Vork
have nu a most fortunate opportunity of
securing. Nicholas Houdon was one of the
most eminent sculptors of France, and was iu
tbe height of his fame at the time that he was
chosen by Mr. JeUVr-ou to execute for the
State of Virginia a statue of her greatest
eon, the pater patrice. Houdon had sbovuin
his ideal works the highest constructive
genius, but his supreme excellence wai in
the exactitude abd fidelity of his delinea
tions of form. He rf produced iu marble with
the most wondcrlul accuracy any livlog
model that was submitted to him, and in the
working out ot details he bad no equal in bis
day. From a tlogie block of marble he carved
ahumau skeleton, which is now to be seen in
one ot the museums of Pari", aud which is not
to be distinguished from tbe natural skeletons
that surround it. In tbe vestibule of the Theatre
Francais, in tho Palais Hnyal, the visitor sees
bis sittini; statue of Voltaire, a work so instinct
ith lile, so wonderfully vetistmi'ar in tue
mocking smile that sat nlwajs ou tbe lips of tbe
philosopher of Ferney, that it looks as it the
living subject had been suddenly turnd into
stone. Mr. Jederson, who had been commis
sioned by the S-ate of Virginia toselect an artist
to commemorate in soulouire the greatness of
Wasbingt jo, recognized at once in this one tr lit
of llouuon his marvellous truthfulness what
was, above all thing, wan'ed in the important
work to be done. Idealization ofthecommandiug
figure ot Washington was not wanted. lo repro
duce bis majestic pretence, to represent him as
he moved auiorg men, to band him down iu
form and semblance ai bo was, not in Uoinan
toga, not as a mythical hero, not as a deaii-g'd,
but wearing the habiliments of his tiuie, and as
a republican c tizcu of America, this was what
the sculptor should do, and this Houdon, alone
ot ail cculptors, could do most successfully.
Accordingly hie service" were srciircd, an i he
came at once to Mount Vernr.n, nnd tbero, from
careful study ot his iliusti Ions niolcl he tnaio
the statute which now stawds in the Capitol ut
UUbmoud, sud which has commanded, for
more than eighty year, the admiration of all
who have visited that city. Thirteen years ao
tho late W. J. Ilubatd, himself eminent as an
artist, obtained permission ot tbo Legislature ot
Virginia t make copies ot this statue iu bronze.
Ho erected a foundry at K chmoud, and from
moulds carefully taken cf the whole figure
produced three copies. One of these was iuau
gursted with appropriate ceremonies at
Lexington. Virginia, on the 4th of July,
1866, when Henry A. Wiso delivered
an oration before (he cadets of tbe Virginia
Military Institute. The secoud was purchased
by the Slate of Korth Carolina. Tho third is
that which it is now proposed to purcbaso for
the Park. All these cop es are exact an i f'uitb
lul reproductions in metal of tbe original
marble. It will be admitted on all hands that
the Central prk should nut be wanting in a
e'atue of Washington. It fa positively certain
that JQoudon's u the beet re presentation of
Washington ever made, and that none o good
can possibly be made beroafter. Moreover, fx.
prnence has shown that tor the open ar bronxe
tatnary is preferable to marble. Tbe equestrian
statue of Marcus Aurellus at Home ba o:me
down to us in excellent preservation from tbe
age of the Ciesars, while the marble nymphs
that decorate the eardens of the Roman uo
bdlty have (rambled under an exposure of two
centuries. The bronze copy of Houdon's statue
of Washington, now odered lor tho Park, can be
purchased for one half the cost of an onelnal
commission, and we trust that tbe disinterested
proposal to bave the Houdon Washington erected
on some tine site of our magnldccnt pleasure
ground may meet with public favor."
Victor Nehlig Is working up a large and
interesting scriptural subject entitled "Paul
before Festus, and Agrippa and Wife." The
principal fgures, Fesius, Agrippa aud wife are
upon a tribune formed by the portico ot the
pa'ace; ou either side of them are massive
columns which support tho overhanging roof.
Paul st.tnds heforc his Judges In the attitude of
speaking, with his right arm raided and giving
nttetance to his nonle defense, to wit.: "I
think myself happy, King Agnppa. because 1
shail answer lor myself Ibis day before thee,
touching all the things whereof I atn accused of
tbo Jews." etc. Paul is surrounded by figures
of centurions, and L'ctors bcnilrjg tho face9,
and Komi.u citizens. The proup sitting in
judgment is supioited by members of the
court, senators, and priests. Hemic), the wife
ot Agnppa, is a tipure drawu in tho voluptuous
type ot Oriental beaut v, clothed in a gorgeous
llowlLg robe which tails in graceful lines about
her person. Of tbe figures, that of Paul ex
presses disnity and earnestness; aud those of
tbe judges are iu the attitude of attention, aud
in the pereou of Agrippa is fully expressed tUe
force of the memorable words which he utters
at the concluMon of Paul's defense: "Almost
thou persuadest mc to be a Christian," The
dresses have been closely studied by the artist,
and the figures are grandly grouped and full of
action, and aro drawn and modelled with a
studied knowledge of the human form in all
its nnbilt'.y of living and breathing life. Mr.
N hlig's chi toon of the "Hescuc of Captain John
Smith by Pccahonias1' is now to be worked up
by the artist la color. Tbe desiirn for the picture
is a grand one, and tells the story in a spirited
nanner.
H. C. Blsphnm has just finished a new pic
ture entitled "The Koman Wine Cait." The
tcene is on the Caaipagna, Bnd the cart, drawu
by sturdy oxen, has been haiteJ by the driver
at a wayside well. The landscape is simply a
reminiscence oi the Campagna, its background
a range of mountains known as Genaro. The
cart is of the Koman fashion, a vehicle in use
duriug the time when Home governed tbe
world, and has been handed down without Im
provement or modification to the present dav.
The patient cattle, with their wide-extended
horns, are drawn with Judgment, and broadly
painted, and tbe old car with its
driver clad iu skins, who sits perched
upon the seat with au ancient
umbrella-like covering to protect hiui from the
rays of the sun, is as true in its rendering of the
cart oi ages auo as it is ot its modern prototype.
At the side of tbe fountain a womau is standing,
and a dog in the road way finishes tne tableau.
Hie mountains in the background aro of a
purplish hue, tender iu color, and harmonizing
witn ine sKy, wnicu 19 or mat luminous texture,

A few evenings ago several critics and art
eoo(ssfua met iu the parlors of the Fifth
avenue gallery. New York, to enjoy a "private
view" of a new picture by Mr. Jerome Thomp
son, cnutiea tiome. aweet uoaie," wnicu ia
now on public exhibition at that place. The
picture is intended as a companion for the "Old
Oaken Bucket," ot which so many chromos have
been sold. The two pictures are similar in de
sign, treatment, and effect. Tlie latest picture
represents a rural scene in which a small one
story house in the middle foreground is the most
prominent object. Tue projecting old-fashioned
bnkeoven, the small windows, aud the thatched
root give the bou'e a homelike aspect, which is
enhanced by the surroundings bee-hives on the
le t, common llowcrs and garden plants in front,
a little orchard on the rigot, and a stable in the
rear. In tbe distance, on the bank of the river
which bends around into the right foreground,
are seen the steeples and prominent bull ling9 of
a considerable town. An old lady and child are
in front ot the hou&c. A chromo of the plctuie
has been made.
Air. 8. K. Guy has on bis easel a small figure
picture called "The Morning Glory,'' which
represents a young golden-haired girl, who has

stauds in her white nigbtgown. which is partly
held up iu her left hand, wuilo her right is
reached out for one ot the flowers. The large,
finely-veined leaves which cover one side ot the
verandah contrast with the cool grey morning
lieht which pervades tbe picture. ' Looking
for the Light" is aoother picture which is
nearly completed. It eives an ideal head and
butt of a child looking upward, with hands
clasped together, at tlio beams of light which
come in through an unseen opuniug and struggle
with the dark shadows all around the back
ground of tho picture.
Several statues are under way or projected
in Fngland and on the Continent: One of Lord
Clyde, in Glasgow, the work of J. Foley: one
in Birmingham, of James Watt; one in Carlisle,
of the late Earl or. Carlisle; ono of Napoleon I,
in Grenoble; an equestrian statue ot Charle
magne, iu Liege; ono of Charles XI I, ot Sweden,
in Stockholm, aud one of Grcuzc, the paluter,
in Tourus, his native town.
