Crowning the Wisest.
SOnie years ago, it: happened that a
young gentleman' from. New York. visited
London. His father being connected with
several of the magnates of the British ar
istocracy,lthe young American was intro
duced into the fashionable circles of the
metropolis, where, either in consideration
ofkliis' very= fine personal appearatice, or
that his father was reported to be very
rich, or that he was a new figure on the
stage, lie attracted much attention, and
became'quiite the favorite a- the ladies.
This was not at all relished by the Brit
ish beaux; but as no very fair pretext of
fered for a rebuff, they were compelled to
treat him civilly.
Thus matters stood, when the. Hon. Mr.
—, and Lady Mary, his wife,
made a party to accompany them to their
country seat in Cambridgeshire, and the
American was among the invited guests.
Numerogs were the devices to which
thee devotees of pleasure resorted, in or
der to kill that stubborn Old Fellow, who
will measure his hours, when he ought to
know they are not wanted, and the inge
nuity of every one was taxed to remem
ber or invent something novel.
,The Yankees are proverbially ready of
invention, and the American did honor to
his character, as a man accustomed to
freedom of thought. He was frank and
gay, and entered into the. sports and
amusements With 'that unaffected - enjoy
ment which communicated a part of his
fresh feelings to the most worn out fash
ionist in the party. His good nature
would have been sneered at by some of
the proud cavaliers, had he not been such
a capitalshot, and he might have been
quizzed, had not the ladies, won by his
respectffil and pleasant civilities, and his
constant attention in drawing room and
saloon, always showed themselves as
friends.
But a combination was at last formed
among a trio of dandies, staunch patrons
of the Quarterly, to annihilate the Amer
ican. They proposed to vary_the eternal
evening waltzing and music by the acting
of charades and playing various games;
and having interested one of those inde
fatigable young ladies who always carry
their point in the scheme, it was voted to
be the thing.
After some few charades bad been dis
posed of, one of the gentlemen begged
leave to propose the game,—called---
" Crowning, the Wisest."
This is played by selecting . a. Judge of
the game, a committee to prepare the ex
amination, and three persons, either ladies
or gentlemen, who are to contest for the
crown by answering the various questions
never exceeding nine, which the commit
tee propound. The candidate who is de
clared to have been the readiest and hap
piest in his or her answers receives the
crown.
Our American, much against his incli
nation; waq chosen among the three can
didates. He was aware that his position
itahe society with which he was ming
ling required of him the ability to sus
tain himself: He was, to be sure, treated
with distinguished attention by his host
and hostess, and generally by the party,
but this was a favor to the individual, and
not one of the company understood the
character of republicans or appreciated
the Republic.
The more certainly to discomfit the
Yankee, his three enemies bad arranged
that their tnrn for questioning him should
tilll in succession and be the last.
The first one was a perfect exquisite,
and with an air of most ineffable conde
scension he put his question :
"If I understand rightly the govern
ment of your country, you acknowledge
no distinctions of rank—consequently,
you can have no court standard for the
manners of a gentleman—will you favor
me with information where your best
school of politeness is to be found ?"
" For your benefit," replied the Ameri
can, smiling calmly, " I would reccom
mend the Falls of Niagara—a contempla
tion of that stupendous wonder teaches
humility to the proudest, and human noth
ingness to the vainest. It rebukes the tri
fler and arouses the most stupid ; in short
it turns men from their idols; and when
we acknowledge that God only is the
Lord, we feel that men are our equals.
A true Christian is always polite."
There was a murmur among the audi
ence, but whether of applause or censure,
the American could not- determine, as be
did not choose to betray any anxiety for
the result by a scrutiny of the faces which
he knew were bent on him.
The second now proposed his question,
He affected to be a great politician, -vas
moustached and whiskered like a diplo
matist, which station he had been cove
ting.. His voice was bland, but his em
phusts-was very significant.
"Should -I visit thernited States, what
subject with which lam conversant*ould
most interest yourpeople and give me nn
opportunity of- enjoying their conversa
tion ?"
" You must maintain as you do at pres
ent, that a monarchy the wisest, the
purest and best government ' which the
skill of man ever devised, and. that a de
mocracy is utterly barbarous. My coun
trymen are fond of argument;.they will
meet you on those two points, and if you
choose, argue with you to the end of your
life," replied the American.
The murmur was renewed, but still
without any decided expression of the
feeling with which his answer had been
received.. The third then rose from his
seat, and with an assured voice, which
seemed to announce a certain triumph,
said—
" I require your decision on a delicate
question, but the rules of the pastime
warrrant it, and also a candid answer.
You have seen Ile American and the
English:ladies—which are the fairest ?"
The young republican glanced aroma
the circle. It was bright with Bashing
eyes,find_the sweet igniles whichyreath
:ed Manya lovely lip mighticiive Won a
less determined patriot from his alle
-giance. He did not 'beiitate, though he
bowed 7 low to the ladies as he-answered--
" The standard' of feminine beauty is,
I belivu, allowed to be the power of ex
citing admiration and love in our sox—
consequently, those ladies who aro the,
most admired and beloved and respected
by the gentlemen must be the fairest.
Now I assert, confidently, that there is
not a nation on earth where woman is so
truly beloved, so tenderly cherished, so
respectfully treated as in the Republic of
the United States—therefore the Ameri
can ladies are the fairest. But, and he
again bowed low, "if the ladies before
whom I have now the honor of express
ing my opinion were in my country, we
should think them Americans."
The applause was unanimous, and, for
an aristocratic English drawing room,
quite enthusiastic. After the mirth had
so far subsided as to allow the voice of
the Judge to be heard, - he awarded the
crown to the young American.
Josh Billings on •‘Billyards."
Everybody seems tew be gitten crazy
over a
.new game which has been discov
ered, kalled billyards.
It iz played on the top ov a table that
iz a little longer than it iz square, and the
game seems to kiiisist in pushin sum
round red bawls agin sum round white
bawls until tha drop into sum little ptid
in bags which are hung onto the outside
ov the tabel.
It takes 2 men to pla the game, but 4
or 5 cap look on. •
•
They take oph their coats and stand up
to the tabel, with a short piece of fish
pole in their hands, which has a-chok
mark unto the end ov it.
Then one begins by giving one ov the
bawls a punch in the belly, which sends
it agin the next one's belly, and so on till
the other feller's turn for punching comes
on.
But yn ought to see the game ; it karat
be deliniated by words.
One feller generally beats the other
feller, and then he pays the landlord ov
the koncern 25 cents for the privilege ov
gittin beat, and buys some gin with lem
onade in it, and awl hands drink.
Then 2 more takes hold of the fish pole
and they punch for a spell, and so it goes
till 2 o'clock in the morning, then each go
hum, having enjoyed fine exercise, a little
drunk perhaps, but the muscles in their
breast are so expanded that they kant
ketch the konsumption nor the small-pox
nor nothing else.
This is bdlyards.
EAF'" Little Mame" was discussing the
great hereafter with her mamma, when
the following ensued :
.Mame—" Mamma, will you go to Hea
ven when you die ?"
Mamma--" Yes, I hope so, child."
Mame—" Well, mamma, I hope ru go
too, or you'll be lonesome."
Mamma—" Oh, I hope your papa will
go too."
dame—"Oh, no, papa can't go; he
can't leave the store !"
Mamma thought she had a good one on
papa, as he can't often "leave the store"
to go to prayer-meeting.
—The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
says : "If members of Congress will take
pains to inquire they will find that not a
a few of the most staunch and influential
Republicans all over the country believe
that the loyal representatives from the
South should be admitted to Congress,
and that their continued exclusion threat
ens ruin to the party.

when in use to occupy a small place as easily and con.
veniontly as a silk or muslin dress. •
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort and great
convenience of wearing, the duplex elliptic steel simia n
skirt for a single day will never afterwards willingly
dispense with their use. For children, misses and
young ladies they are superior to all others.
The Hoops are covered with 2 ply double twisted
thread and will wear twice as long as the single yam
covering which is used on all single Mel hoop dins,
The three bottom rods on every skirt are also double
steel. and twice or double covered to prevent the from wearing off the rods when dmging dow n
stairs, stone steps, etc., etc., which they are constantly
subject to when in use.
All are made of thenew and elegant corded taper, and
