Cale tbb the prince of dry jokers; lie lived, moverl,(ond hud his being through a diurnal succession of sells; inilcej.1, his lil'o was one threat sell composed of it conglomeration of t'Vj intinitesimul sells offlfty jtwra duration. Nnw Dixby, Nathitn Dixby, was one of Calo'j truest and sUunchcst business uc aUB,lHances, although he had never Jieen introduced the domestic circle made glad by ti0 portly presence of Mrs. Cole, whoasj somewhat addicted to jealousy. The reason for this link of acqtiuintnncc wns t.mt f,iC lived a secluded life in one of the litWo villages on Long Island, nnd Nut Dixby Jived iu tho Label of New York. Well, one day Cale w as lurd pushed for an object on whi.;h to inflicts practical joke, and in his diletaitna selected his friend Nat as his victim. 10 nianmr in which Nat was sold I do no choose t purticulntly ue senbe. Sullico it SaV tint under the play of Cale's cxhubera.it fa ivy, Nut made a journey to Albany, SWifted that a htdv there had sent hiui an atiWiry epistle, which he produced. The lady Vame Indignant, called in the aid of her Inland, who liter ally skinned iMr. Dixby, thereafter re turned to (Jot hum with, a irgc and l'vcly flea in his ear. This event happened in the early springtime, aud on a cleV.- day. About a wick after Nut's return fnm VAIbanv, he met Cale. The sell was diiclosct by "Cale and a hearty laugh wns sad ov-cr Nat's' mislay, and ut his still bruiasd features, in which he joined ; but tliose rVcscnt t)ticed the fact that he did not laugh an itielK be low tho chin ; indeed it; was generally be-. lie veil that Nat's mirth was entirely simula ted. "Now, old fellow," said Cale, "you don't hold auy malice, do you i" "Not a bit," -answered Nat, "and in token of amity, let us take a good smile all round." Which thing was done in the usual man ner. "How did you come to town ?" asked Nut. "1 drove up in a light wagon," replied Cale. "And when will you return home?" 'About six o'clock this evening," replied Cale. Nat thereupon plead nu engagement, and left j but us soon as he was oit of ear-shot of his joker friend, repaired to Cray's stable, in Wurivii Ktri..t whi.rt lir liir.'.-l n r,.r 4 horse and a hcht vchielo, -hd wllfc- which he'started, through a by-street, for the resi dence of his friend Cale. on Long Island. On arriving, he left his horse, nnd wagon at a publie house, and proceeded to the al'oro said resilience, where lie inquired of the ser- V it t tl .Mr.- Meeks was it home. On being anhwered, as he knew ho would be, in the i.egHtive, bo said : J Ins is uuiortunate. I wanted to iiav l.im some money. If I could see Mrs ,Meeks it would do as well ; she could give me a receipt in her husband's name." Mrs. ileeks was Irtigul and industrious. and ulways attentive to ber husband's inter ests. As the last remark fell from tho lips of Nat, aline looking matron culled from up the stairs to the servant "to show tho gentleman in the parlor," where she follow ed in a few minutes. ,Nat bowjd, nnd said: "I desire to see Mrs,- Mecks, madam." 'Very well," replied she. "I um Jlrs. Mocks." "I'ardon me, madam." said Nat. with a doubting shake of the head; "but this is a matter oi some importance the payment ot money; nnd you are not the lady Mr. Meeks introduced to me as his wife last winter." "Not tho ladv ? What shrieked she, do vou mean to tell nie that " "1 sim'plv tell you, madam," replied Nat, with icy inipuituibility, "that Mr. Meeks last winter, in Broadway, near Leonard Street, introduced mo to a lady whom he called Mrs. Meeks, nod you nro uot the ladv." 'Indeed 1" exclaimed Mrs. Meeks. her eves flashing tire : "how old was she i" "Well, about twenty-five.'' ''Twenty-live 1 And how was sho dress ed ?" "She wore her hair in ringlets, had dia mond car-rings 1" "Diamond ear-rings !" "A heavy silk velvet dress, very large gold bracelets, a magniQceut watch aud chain." "W11, go on," she said spitefully. "Silk velvet li ut trimmer', with magnificent lace, and a muif ami boa." "J5oa 1" screeched out the now thoroughly irate dame : "you'd better bore your way out of this bouse, sir, mighty quick, or else somebody will have the headache! No, sir, I am not Mrs. Meeks, aud I want you to leave." "O, certainly," said Nat, who saw the tallest kind of storm brewing, and who had good reason to believe that the sturdy dnme might launch at his head a conk-bhell or s:me other heavy ornaments which adorned the mantel. Nat thereupon beat a hasty re treat from oil the premises, and placed him self behind a stone wall, from which he could command a view of tho Brooklyn turnpike. I lo did not wait long before, he saw amiuble Caleb driving down the road, all uuconscious of the ambush of Nat. The expression on Caleb's face was ono of great amiability, and exemplified that ho was at peace with "all the -world and the rest of mankind." In a brief space of time Caleb's horse was given in charge of a stable-boy, and uncon scious and happy, he entered his domicil and shut the door. - Tho moment he entered an attentive ear might have detected the sound of a voice in no way mellow or ex pressive of endearment ; and in an instant after Caleb hurriedly came through the door, with amaetneut ou his front aud a mop in his rear, the soft end of which was under the direct and personal superinten dence of a lady who was very red in the face and very sturdy in arms, and who strongly resembled Mrs. Meeks. The battle bad commenced in the passage-way. Caleb's castor, w hich shone in the rays of the setting sun as he drove down the road, was now very much bruised and out ot shape in deed, it was driven far down over Caleb's amiable phuiognotnv. "What in thunder's out?" yelled Caleb. "Twenty-flve years ld 1" shrieked the infuriated dauie, and bang Cale caught the mop over hie shoulders. "Corkscrew ring.

"A muff!" bang 1 thump I "Boa 1" bang 1 bang I and down went poor Caleb with a yell of murder I Now fell the blows thick and fast upon the bruised head, back and face of tho pros trate joker, while the lady again rehearsed thccatalogue of the wearing app trcl of the other Mrs. Mecks, timing the utterance with a blow upon the prostrate and bleeding spouse. But all things must liave an end. Tho violent exercise of the arms and lungs, in which Mrs. Meeks had indulged, had some what exhausted her. Sho rapidly ran through Nut's imaginary description, and feeling her strength departing, gathered herself up for ono grand and final clTbrt. Cale looked with horror on the upraised mop ; ho heard tho words : "), tho hussy I" shouted in a vigorous tone, he heard-a hulling, whizzing sound in in the air, and tho next instant Caleb's nose wns as flat as nny other part of his luce. The mop and his sweet tempered wife re treated into the mansion aud left him alone in his gore. Slowly and with the most keen sensation of pain, he raised himself to a sitling posture, and with many a groan of "?on.vi proceeded to inspect his personal condition. "I'll be hanged if this arm ain't broken ! O 1 And this left shoulder must be disloca ted I O I O 1 Aud good gracious 1 what a nose 1 That woman must be crazy !

In Salt Lake City attended the annual ball given by Brighum Young to tho members of the Assembly and Council, city officials, the church officers, including the twelve apostles, bishops, ciders, teachers and brothers, my self beiug the only Oentile present. About two hundred couples were present. The ball went olf elegantly, a fino band of music, ladies well dressed, and every thing arranged according- to the highest scale of the fashionable code regulating entertainments. The ball-room was spa cious, and also tho supper-room adjoining. Prayers were uttered- previous to partaking the least, which was one creditable to the gastronomic tastes of those concerned. Tho cntertaiuments of tho evening were diversi fied by music upon a grand piano, one of Brigh.im Young's numerous daughters olli cittting at the instrument, accompanied by two of her sisters in vocal music Brigham Young had twenty-three of bis wi-cs prc setit, to all of whom he was introduced, and danced with six ditlercnt ones. The ladies were all cheerful and happy, their religious zeal apparently making them unconscious of the peculiarity of their do mestic situation. During the evening Brig ham requested all his wives and daughters, sons-in-law and sons, with their numerous wives nnd daughters, to occupy seats at one long table, in aider, as he remarked, that Mr. L could eeo what a large and happy family he had.

NEIIlal.'TlA Al TIIIJ I'Ki:i:i. mi:. Tho New York TrUiune contains an inter esting statement in regard to the recent or der of Oen. Sherman, allotting tha negroes the coast and islands of South Carolina and Georgia. It seems that when Mr. Stanton was in Savanuah, Oeq. Sherman invited to a conference twenty of the leading men among the negroes, such aa they selected to represent them. They gent their most intelligent men, their class leaders, preach ers, some of the large-bruined, shrewd, clear headed men. With this body of represent ative men, Gen. Sherman, in tho presence of Mr. Staktox, entered into a full and free conference regarding their conditiou and their wishes. They fully expluiued to him their situation and their desires. They told him that their principal waut was la-rtl. If they had the assured possession .f land, they would support themselves. They were then asked whether they would prefer to live by themselves, or with white people. After consultation, they answered, that, for the present, they would prefer to be by themselves. The scheme was therefore ar ranged in most of its details exactly in ac cordance with the wishes of the negroes, and with their practical suggestions.

Let this be done every hour until the membrane is utterly destroy ed, which has, under this treatment, never failed to be the ease.

Judge liu.M), of Baltimore, who has every facility for judging correctly, in a letter to the Philadelphia Frcedment lUilhtin says that tho immediate freedom of eighty-seven thousand slaves in thaf. State, has produced no increaso of pauperism or crime, w hich is appreciable by any criterion by which you can judge it. He says further: "In the large slaveholding counties there was an exchange of masters. Husbands joined their wives on neighboring farms, and wives their husdauds and children, nnd for a while there was a temporary uncertain ty about agricultural labor; but the Inexora ble law of supply and demand very soon regulated tho free colored population as it does tha white laboring classes. There was a good deal of brutality among some slave holders in sporadic rases; men and women w?re ill-treated and some pf their churches burned; but the authorities speedily checked what public indignation would certainly have terminated in a little while, nnd the occurrences could in no wise bo attributed to the emancipation of the slaves but rather to the depravity of tho population suffering the effects of slavery." The colored population of Baltimore nttm lier 50,000, or one-fifth the population of the city. Yet in the Almshouse, two months after the abolition of slavery, the black pnn pers numbered only 1C7 out of 840 -a little less than ono-fifth. The jail contains but two colpred people out of fifty-one, and the other statistics of crime are equally favora ble to them. These are interesting facts, and will relieve the minds of those fearful folks who were terrified lest emancipation should be prolific of pauperism and crime. Oct of 1,900 rebel prisoners t Camp Morton, Indianapolis, only about one-fourth are willing to be exchanged. The remain der want to take the oath of allegiance and remain at tho North. A young lady, an orphan, living and teaching school in Huntingdon county, a year ago received letter from Virginia, that her brother, who was a soldier in the Union army, had been killed in battle. 6he hastened to the South, secured his remains, had them brought home and buried. Ever since, alone in the world and in sadness, she haa mourned her dead kinsman. A week ogo she received a letter from Annersonrille from her brother, who il allvs sod a prison er.

JTeict, laboring to disparage nnd belittle the recent Confederate disasters i l South Carolina, says of the Ilcbel chiefs : "They are uow about to develop the plan of warfare that has -always been a favorite with their most sagacious captains. While the Federal forces, by tho necessity of hold ing their conquered territory in subjection, are scattered along the outward circle, the Confederates, by inland concentration, will be ablu to mass their armies for the final struggle. That is tho secret of bloodless occupation of Charleston by our troops, ami in a brief while we shall be better able to determine what the prize has cost us."

It did not condemn even their wanton commencement of war on the United States by the capture! of our army iu Texas, by the bombardment of Fort Sutupter, or by 'the seizure of the National forts, arsenals, nrmories and navv yards throughout the South. It has justi fied their perfidious refusals to exchange our captured Black soldiers in defiance of the cartel, and their butcheries of capturml foes at Fort Hudson, Fort Pillow anil else where. No single act, assumption, claim or pretense of the Rebel chief has failed to secure its advocacy. It sytematically dis-. courages enlistments in the Union armies, belittles Union successes, and exaggerates Rebel triumphs. It maintains to- the right of Secession, and denies tho rightful power of the Union to maintain its own existence by iorce.
