Baculardleft Marseilles for China} bat? being buffeted by the grinds, he landed at the, harbor of Tunis to wait r The collector of the port came on board. Captain Baca* lard represented that he was freighted for Canton, that he had nothing to do with Tunis, and that he only put in from stress of weather. But the collector presented the manifest that he must fork over.-*- Capt. Baeulanl; did fork over, in rage; but instantly repaired to the residence pf the Bey, demanding justice. ■ ‘ God Frank,’ said the Boy, ‘ I am yopr friend, God is great. What the .plague do you want with me V ‘ Highness,’ answered Captain Bacu lard, ‘your custom house has robbed me. I have forked oyer; fork back.’ ‘ Excellent individual,’ answered the Bey, ‘ in this country, when we have the dust, we keep it. The original acquisi tion is a thing of difficulty. To fork back is a thing unknown in Africa.’ ‘ But shall I not have justice V ‘Certainly: every one has justice in Tunis. Will you have it in the French or Tunisian fashion V ‘Highness, I have had a law suit or two in France. Justice in the French fashion, God forbid V ‘But I don’t press it on you,’ observed the Bey. ‘lf you choose the French, af ter all, speak to your consul. He loves justice, good man. Three of my subjects applied to him three years ago for immu nity, and they may, possibly, get it next year —for he loves justice.’ ‘ French justice i Never!

They all made their wills—• when they learned through the officer of the customs, that Captain Baculard had lots of the desired article. There was enough said. Captain Baculard sold his invoice at two dollars the cap. He hast ened to the palace and . poured oot his thanks. xiH * Not so iast, 1 said the Bey, fl am not done yet.

EDMONB. _ 1 he Vizier made a grand ealdte, pla- his leg on the back of his beck, ac cording to the custom of the court, and retired. When Captain Baculard return ed to the deck, he found the twenty thou sand Jews already awaiting him, caps in hand. He might have had the caps for nothing, bat, desirous to leave behind him a name for generosity and greatness of soul, he bought them at two cents a piece. Remarkable Fountain In Flor * Taking a narrow path we crossed through some dense underwood, and, all at once, stood on the banks of .the Wakulla Spring. These was a basin of water one hundred yards in diameter, almost circular. The thick bashes were almost growing to the water s edge, and bowing their heads under the unrippled surface. We stepped into a skiff and pushed off.. Some immense fishes attracted my attention, and [-seized a spear to strike them. The boatman laughed, and asked me how far beneath the surface I supposed they were. I an swered about four feet* He assured me they were at least twenty feet from me; and it whs so. The water is of the most wonderful transparency. Dropping an ordinary pin in the water—forty met deep —we saw its head with perfect distinct ness as.it lay on the bottom. As we ap proached the centre I noticed a jagged, grayish limestone rock beneath us pierced with holes ; one seemed to look into un fathomable depths. The boat moved slow ly on, and we hung trembling over tbe edge of the spoken cliff, and fur below it lay a dark, yawning, unfathomable abyss. From its gorge comes forth with immense velocity a living river. Pushing on just beyond its mouth X dropped a teu-cent piece into the water, which is there one hundred and ninety feet in depth, and I clearly saw it shining on the bottom.— This incredible. I think the water josses.v's » magnifying power, for I am confident that the piece could not be seen so distinctly from a tower one ‘ hundred and ninety feet high. We rowed toward the north side, and suddenly We perceived in the water fish, which; were darting hith er and thither, and long, flexible roots, uxurient grass on the bottom, all arrayed 1 in the most beautiful prismatic hues. The gentle swell occasioned by the boat gave o the whole an undulating motion.— . )eath-like stillness reigned around, and a more fairy scene I never beheld. So great is the quantity pf water. here mured forth that it forms a: river of itself airge enough toff oat flat-boats with cotton. ' he planter who lives.here has thus traps mrtedhis cotton to St. Marks. Near the buntainwe saw some of the rcincios of a mastodan whicb badbeen takeufromit.

Not long since, a penniless* seedy individual got into the cars at. Boston, and when called upon for his ticket, re* plied that he had none. He wis inform ed that he must get off at the next station. On the arrival at the station* his speed was somewhat accelerated from the cars by the assistance of the conductor’s'boot ap plied to the back part of uis stomacb r On the arrival of the train he seated him self as before, and when waited upon for his ticket, the same answer was given, fol lowed oy the same results. The two sta tions were passed and our traveler found himself waiting the approach of another train, to continue his journey. This being. Conductor Tucker’s train, he embarked on board, and being asked for his ticket, re plied as before, when he was told to get off at the next station. When the train stopped, he walked to the platform, qui etly elevating his coat-tail to the conduc tor. On being asked by the conductor the cause of such an insulting procedure, the traveler informed him that the other two conductors had left the impression of their boots upon his cassimer, and he sup posed that he wanted to. The joke was relished so well, that ou being informed that he was en route for Portland with no money to purchase a ticket, he was dead* headed thro’ tjie of — Nhoburyjt&rt Herald.

Three weeks passed away, and one day Peggy made a fine batch ofpies. We sighod feelingly as wo watched the good dame carefully look the door, that shut us. from the feast. We could not sleep that night while beneath our room lay shelves of pumpkin-pies. “ Jim,” said my u make haste and dress; we will have g feast yet. An idee has struck ms. Yoh know the flooring of' our room is rickety, and the closet is just beneath us. if bw as there is but a single floor, we can easily lift the boards and get into the closet. You arc the you must go down and pass up the fizins r With this!informa tion, I prepared to descend intp the closet, my chum having lifted, with somb trouble,' a narrow board in the floor of ohr chamber. Down 1 went, safely at first, but an tin lucky slip caused me to land a large pudding which besmeared mein an un comfortable manner. * Mi “ Here, Bill, you thief 1” I Iphdly whis pered, as I passed up a pie, it take this one, and stand by for Bui no hand was put out to take the while I thought the door of pur room gfatad upon its binges. -‘Bill,you rascal:Srhy don’t you take the pie?" whispered I hgain.-- Soon a band was thrust into my; lace, and supposing it to be my friend’s, 1 1 put the pie into the hand. Soon the hand was thrust into my face again. In the hip est glee, I cried out: _.V; : “ You pig! how many pies cap yon eat?" “ All!" was the low responses ; ! “ And you shall have all if they are getahle," was my ready response. ; * “ There is not another dne do#n here.

The following is a brief de* sonption of the structure The building covers sixteen full lots of ground, is seven stories high, and has an elevation from the cellar to the roof of 106 feet. The front on Fifth avenue and Broadway is 202 feet j on Twenty-third street 215 fret, and Twenty-fourth 196 feet. It is capa ble of accommodating at least 800 guests. There are 8 large public parlors, 120 pri* yate do.j 4 dining and tea rooms, 420 chambers, and 60 other rooms for servants, Ac. Nearly all the principal chambers have baths and water arrangements com plete, there being fully 100 baths in all.
