Not having found it convenient to attend the
Amsterdam Exhibition himself, the Scries
Fxlitor requested sundry of his friends who
purposed visiting it to bring him over some
specimens of Dutch industry, and present them
to him ns small tokens of respect and esteem.
Up to this writing he is sorry to say that ho has
been favored with two rarities only; but these
are 60 remarkable that," with his customary
generosity, lie instantly bestows them ou the
universe.
The first is an advertisement of an article to
be used by those who arc troubled with corns:
CHI MICA L FII.KS.
Those llles, or the prentest utility, have the pro
perty to relieve Immediately the disease occasioned
by Uie corns on the feet, and also to cure it.
To obtain that result, It is siilllclent, (without any
preparation.) to file ail the hart part. It has not an'v
danger to bless himself as with the cutting tools, one
resents as soon a unaccountable well-hcinjr, ami by
degrees, the corn on the foot disappears entirely.
Do not put the feet In the wutter: The more the
corn is dry, the better it is to file.
The second is a playbill, the original bciuv of
vafct size, and splendidly yellow:

When I go in, Milburd's guests are wailing for
their host. Ca.cll is there, and three other men
In evening dress. Cazcll knows one of them,
tout doesn't introduce me to him. We evidently,
more or less, consider one another as intruders.
Happy Thought. to say it's been a nice day.
Some one (elderly gentleman with yellow grey
whiskers) says he doesn't think so, "but, per
haps," he adds, sarcastically, "you like rain."
Forgot it had been raining. Should like (only
lie's my senior) to inform him that my observa
tion was only thrown out to give the conversa
tion ft start. Piitiso. Cazcll wlio might talk to
two of us, doesn't. The third is a gentleman
with tight waist, lonjj legs, and a glass iu his
eye. He manages to pass the time, apparently,
liy stretching out his legs as far as he can away
from him, smoothing him down with both
hands, and regarding them critically through his
eye-glass. We are all drawn town rds him. His
smoothing his legs has evidently a mesmeric
effect upon us, and we all, nt least so it seems
to me, begin to take a silent but intense
interest in his legs. If we were left there two
hours, he would probably become mcsmcrically
mechanical in his movement, and we should all
be fixed staring at him in our chairs. (Aofr.
Not to forget Mesmerism, under M, in Typ.
Deuel., vol. vl.) Another old gentleman is
ehown in by the waiter. lie is portly, and
enters genially, with his hand out ready to grasp
Milburd's. I can't help piiying him when he
doesn't 6ce Milburd.
Happy Thought Respect age rise. Old
lashion and good.
The old gentleman seizes mo by the hand. So
glad to sec me again. "Capital," he says, "not
met for an age." I answer that I am delighted
to meet him. Wonder to myself where I've seen
him before; puzzle, give it up.
"Well," he says, "all well at home:-'" I an
swer, "Only pretty well." He is sorry to
hear it.
Happy Thought. To ask him if hen all well
at home.
"Yes," he says he is, "though Milly isn't," he
adds, "quite so well as she might be." I reply
"Indeed," thoughtfully, for as I don't know how
well Milly might he if she tried, nor who Milly
Is, I fancy that there must be a mistake. Still if
I ought to know him, to toll him that I haven't
an idea who he is, would, bo mule specially
Jrom a young man to his senior. Man with eye
glass, in meantime, has towered himself in easy
chair and is stretching out, complacently,
larther than ever. Xote. Silent Gymnastics.)
lie is still criticizing his legs favorably, and
varying his movements by pulling up his wrist
bands, which are very wide, long, and come up
to his knuckles.
Old gentleman suddenly puts his hand in his
pocket and says to me, "Oh, that reminds mo,
you didn't hear from Martin, did you?" A .di
lemma for me. Of course I don't know hit
Martin. Shall I say, simply to make a conver
sation, "Yes or No ?"
Happy Thought. Say the truth. "No."'
"Ha !" he exclaims. "Then I must settle
with you. How much am I in your debt ?"
This is awkward. It's dilllcuit :it this moment
to tell him that I never saw him before in all my
life, but I am certain of it. If I had any doubt
of it, his recollecting a debt to mc would put it
beyond question, as I shouldn't have lent him
anything.
"Well i" he asks, pausing, with his purse iu
his hand.
Happy Thought Tell the truth again.
I commence, "The fact is "
Milburd enters. He oughtn't to leave his
guests. "11a ! Commodore !" ho says to the old
gentleman, "I'm glad to seo you're acquainted."
I explain nt once that we're not; and he,
putting on his spectacles for the first time
(without which the aged mariner is, it appears,
as blind as a bat), discovers that he hits taken mo
for Milburd.
Happy Thought. A'il mariner. Wish I could
recollect a quotation. Ought to have somethiug
about an albatross at my fingers' ends.
' After this, introductions: myself to Commo
dore Brumsby, Chilvcrn to mo, we are to bo
travelling companions, Milburd says; where
upon Chilvcrn and myself both smile vaguely at
each other, as if such a notion was too preposte
rous or absurd. After nil, if smiling means
nothing (when done in this way), it's better
than frowning. (N. Jj. Make a note lu pocket-
book to effect that under A rnllit come impor
tant articles on amenities.) After this, myself
to Captain Dyngwcll, who has risen, and, on
being introduced, screws up his glass Into one
eye, his forehead down on to his glass, and his
month up on one side, ns if undecided whether to
scowl or receive mc f ';nsantly. Ho murmurs
something tohimsclf (for mc to take up if I like)
about something's being "doocid funny," and
tries to pull himself out of his coat by tugging
at Lis wristbands. Standing on the rug and
stretching the right hand out with a jerk, he
catches the elderly gentleman w ith sandy grey
whiskers just behind the ear. Milburd, with ad
mirable presence of mind, introduces them at
once.
Happy Thought. To nsk Milburd in a whis
per, ns we go lu to dinner, "What is a Commo
dore?" Milburn returns, also in a whisper,
"Don't know." ,
We all sit down Captain Dyngwcll stretch
ing out both his wristbands over the table as if
he was imparting a fashionable sort of blessing
to the knives, forks, glasses, and napkins. Will
I face Milburd ? With pleasure if ho wishes it;
but won't ? "No. no," says Commodore
Brumsby, "young 'una do the work." Chilvcrn
says, gravely, "j(es. sir. you can experimental
ize." We are arranged. Milburn at the head;
myself, his vis-a-vis; on my right the Commo
dore, on my left the chemist. Captain and
Chilvcrn vis-a-vis one auother, and there we
are. Excellent number, eight. Cazell is ou
Milburn 's right, and there's an empty place for
a man who ought to have been there but isn't.
None of us care one dump whether he comes or
not. No one knows him; he's a "very rising
man,' says Millburd, whereat one or two of us
obsrrvc, "Indeed ? is he ?" and go on with our
soup.

After writing several books to prove the con

Art was not known to the Greeks. Apcllcs

obliged to quit the city.
The celebrated poet Tasso obtained his repu

example of application.

perhaps in a less degree, to the ancients. Cows

ODDS AND ENDS. j
A lluenl Privilege.
Mr. Commissioner Winslow has decided, in
the case of the Duke of Newcastle, that a Peer
of the Realm, not being a trader, Is not within
the pale of bankruptcy law. It is well every
body should know that a Duke cannot be a
bankrupt in law; he cau only be bankrupt in
fortune, in credit, and in character. He cannot
file his schedule; he can only defile his
'scutcheon.

One rather important consideration appears
to have been overlooked by the commercial

Denomination by Analogy
Objection has been made, by certain sympa
thizers with the sect of parsons named Ritual
ists, to that word as applied to distinguish that
sect. It is possible to conceive one which would
be more distinctively definite. This sect appears
to be no other than that originally founded by
Dr. Puscy. There is a very decided method iu
their doctrines and practices. Instead, there
fore, of Ritualists, suppose we call parsons and
persons of this denomination ruseyau

Itlnrlc Twain on I lie IMullbnu.
The brilliant and agreeable essayist who does
the lecture reporting for the Boston Adceritser
thus describes "Mark Twain:"
Boston had a very novel, if- not a very start
ling sensation last evening, in the shape of a
lecture from Mr. Samuel L. Clemens, who is
known to fame as the humorist Mark Twain.
Known to fame, we say, for who that breathes
the vital air in America has not heard of
the jumping frog of Calveras county, Califor
niar ? and who ha not read of tho "new speci
men" which Mark Twain made by combluing a
hawk and a crow in "one ucat job?" A com
pany, even greater than that which usually at
tends the Bureau lectures, assembled in tho
Music Hall hist night with faces primed for mer
riment, and punctually to the hour Mr. Clemens
and Mr. Redpatli appeared upon the platform.
This was of course, and it was also-of course
that for fifteen minutes afterwards the speaker's
voice should be made inaudible by the rustling
and creaking and tramping of the regular crowd
of the tardy.
Mark Twain is a very good looking man. He
is of medium height and moderately slender
build, has light brown hair, a reddish brown
moustache, regular features, and a fresh com
plexion; and ho has a queer way of wrinkling
up his nose and half closing his eyes when he
speaks. The expression of his face is as calm
and imperturbable as that of tho sphinx. Look
ing at him you feel it to be an impossibility that
he should ever hurry or ever bo out of temper,
and you might suppose him to bo incapable of
a joke, If it were not for tho peculiar twinkle
in his merry eyes. His voice is remarkably
light and remarkably dry like some German
wines and it serins to be modulated to only
two keys. Ilia stylo of speaking U unique to
the Inst degree. It Is all of a piece with the
qnulity of ha humor, and fits him like a glove.
He delivers his sentences without haste, and
in a tone of utter indifference, marking
the highest waves of his thought only
by a strong flavor of nasality, aud knowing
for tho most part only the rising inflection at
the beginning, middle and end of his sentences.
The rising Inflection is not native here, nor Is
it born in the manner of any of our own speak
ers. Mr. Dickens first taught us how it might
bo used to advantage, and Mark Twain, doubt
less without borrowing a leaf from Mr. Dickens
note-book, has found out for himself how effec
tive an adjunct it is to humorous speech. In
short, the platform manner of Mr. Clemens Is
the exact reflection in speech of his peculiar
style of composition. Tho fun of both Is genuine
enough; but tho perception of the fun is immea
surably heightened by the apparently serious in
tention of the general discourse, and at times by
an nlr of half seriousness iu the joke sc
audience gets into a queer state after a while. It
knows not what to trust; for while much is
meant to bo seriously taken, the fun is felt to be
tho real life of the thing; and yet they never
know where the fun will come in. Even when
Mr. Clemens has made a really fine period, or
introduced a brilliant descriptive passage, he
takes pains to turn tho affair Into a joke at the
end. As, for instance, after a very graphic ami
well-written description of the great volcanic
eruption in the Sandwich Islands, delivered
with perfect Indifference, and almost as if with
out an effort he paused for just an Instant,
and then said in the same passionless
tone, "There! I'm glad I've got that to -cano
off my mind." The manner is a di
rect resultant of the matter; and the
manner of his speech docs a great deal for tho
pubstnncc of his discourse. The story "Of our
Fellow-Savages in the Sandwich Islands would
not be nearly so funny to read as it is to hear
from Mark Twain's lips; though we do not
mean to deny that there is a great deal of
genuine and irresistible humor in the texture
of tho discourse. Indeed, we mean to say,
distinctly, that the contrary was the fact, and
that Mr.'Clcmens showed himself last night in
the character of a very quaint, peculiar, and
eminently original humorist. America has pro
duced at least a quintette of genuine humor
ists, whose produbtions have many of the
inditia of genius, if they are not wholly inspired
by it.
