The Albany Journal has been calling Buchanan's Secretary oi -the Interior "Job" Thompson. Imagine Jacob's lamentations when lie hears of it. Rev. Charles Yeager, of Reading, has a watch which was made in Germany one hundred and sixteen years ago. It keeps good time and has been kept a good long time. A Boston liquor dealer, fined for vio lation of the prohibitory law, approach ed the clerk of the court, money in hand, and plaintively urged him to attend to his case as soon as possible, "because lie had left no one at home to attend bar." A Chicago chap advertises for "steady girls to help on pantaloons." A fellow who can't help on his own pantaloons, ought to lie ashamed to want girls to do it. "Thiers," says the Frendh Minister at Washington, "is not old. Such men never get old. He had the sagacity of a statesman, tho prudence of a man of experience, the resolute courage of a disciplined soldier and the ardor of a patriotic Frenchman in the greatest tri al France has endured." V ' Several Irishmen were disputing one day about the invincibility of their re spective persons, when one of them re marked, "Faith I'm a brick." "And indade I'm a bricklayer," said another, giving the first speaker a blow that brought him to the ground. A Jewish legend.—According Jewish and Mohammedan tradition King Solo mon, who was wise beyond all other men, knew the language of animals aud could talk with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. A Rabbinical story is told of him, which is iu this wise: One day the King rode out of Jerusa lem with a great retinue. An ant-hill lay directly in his path and Solomon heard its little i>eople talking: "Here Comes the great King!" he heard one of them say. "His batterers call him wise and just and merciful; but he is about to ride over us and crush us without heeding our sufferings." And Solomon told the Queen of She ba. who rode with him, what the ant said. And the Queen made answer: "He is an insolent creature, oh King! It is a better iate than he deserves, to be trodden under our feet But Solomon said: "It is the part of wisdom to learn of the lowliest and weakest." And he commanded his train to turn aside and spare the ant hill. Then all the courtiers marveled great ly and the Queen of Sheba bowed her head and made obeisance to Solomon: "Now know I the secret of thy wis dom. Thou listenest as patiently to the reproaches of the humble as to the flat teries of the great." The Whipping Post.—An enthusiastic "Delawarlan" writes a letter to the New York World in defence of the whipping-i>oßt. He says the people of Delaware are as high-toned, honest and refined as any in the country, notwith standing their peculiar institution; and he tells of a Vermont man who recent ly visited the State and was so favora bly impressed with what he saw that he immediately packed up his goods in Ver mont and moved there. The late Capt. ITall wrote as follows to the editor of the Navtival Go.zette, be fore embarking in the Polaris: "I shall bring you tidings which will astonish the world and recompense my friends for all their labors in my behalf, or 1 will die in the attempt. 1 will never return to the Arctic regions again if 1 am successful; but, if I am not and live to see the United States, I shall tell my story and then seek a home in the far north, where, in peace, I shall pass away to a brighter and better land. God bless you. Farewell." Jeff. Davis is to lie properly contem plated only through showers of bitter tears. We find this paragraph about him in a southern journal: Hurled from the highest political po sition, robbed of fortune, laboring daily in almost abject poverty for the bread which feeds Himself and family, pro scribed and disfranchised, denied ttlc political privileges of his negro servant who waits behind his chair as he takes his meals and who blacks his boots, calmly and with a God-like fortitude, towing to the inevitable, yet firm in his principles, unyielding in the dignity of his manhood and yet with a soul "un bending. meeting and defying in the direst adversity the taunts and oppres sions of his enemies. Mr. Davis is president of :ui insurance company and his salary is SIO,OOO a year. The Question of Amusements.—The Maryland Diocesan Convention has re pealed the canon which reads as follows respecting amusements: "Attendance upon theatrical exhibitions, horse-races and other light and vain amusements, being inconsistent with Christian cha racter, it is hereby declared to he the duty of members of this Church, care fully to abstain from encouraging them by their presence." The reasons for the repeal as urged by the committee and others, were: (1) That the General Convention had a Canon of Lay Disci pline, which did not enter into particu lars of this sort, hut was content to condemn "any wickedness of life." (2) That legislation of this character, was contrary to the spirit of the Church, which sought rather to quicken men's consciences, than to restrain men's li-j berty in matters of worldly conformity. Only Virginia and Maryland have such a canon, and Alary land borrowed hers from Virginia.

It is gratifying to us to inform the public that j I Dr. L. Q. C. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial, j I for Throat and Lung diseases, has gained an ! | enviable reputation from the Atlantic to the Pa- ; j ciflc coast, and froin thence to some of the first ] ! families of Europe, not through the press alone, j but by persons throughout the States actnally ben- ; j elltted and cured at his office. While he publishes j ! less, so say our reporters, he is unahle to supply j | the demand. It gains and holds its reputation— | First: Not by stopping cough, but by loosening and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy , matter collected about the throat and bronchial tubes, which causes irritation. Second: It removes the cause of Irritation, (which produces cough), of the mucous membrane J and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs to act arid j throw off the unhealthy secretions, and purities j the blood. Third: It is free froin squills, lobelia, ipecac and opium, of which most throat and lung remedies arc eomposed, which allay cough only, anil disor ganize the stomach. It has a soothing effect on the stomach, acts on the liver and kidneys, and lymphatic aud nervous regions, thus reaching to every part of the system, and in its invigorating j and purifying effects it has gained a reputation . which it must hold above all others in the market. , NOTICE.
