An EvcntM Career. Among the communist prisoners re cently tried at Versailles was a lud named Bfoclie, a pork butcher, who at the outbreak of the communal insur rection, was taken, much against his wrll, to serve iu the federal battallion of national guards at Nuelly. He of fen 'led his comrades by declining to be made captaiu', and was accordingly tried by court martial and sentenced to be shot. His exeoiidoiiers, however, determined to hang him instead, and launched him fr uu a second floor win dow. He contrived to save himself trom total strangulation by clinging to the wall until cut down by some men of another battallion, who disap proved of the uutuilitary mode of ex ecution adopted, and with whom be remained for some days. At the md ofthattimo he attempted to escape, but was so closely pursued that be jumped into the .Seine, and Bam to the bunk occupied by the Versailles troops, who Imsptably received him with a hailstorm of bulls, one of which struck him iu the leg. Being taken before a court martial of officers of the regular army, hi protestations of iu uo jeiico were disbelieved, and be was condemned for the second time to be shot. The executioners of M. Theirs, however, did not do their work any belter thuu those of the commune, f.,r though duly bbot and left for dead, Broche escaped with two flesh wounds and a broken arm. Ho wus hidden and nursed by uu inhabitant of l'u leaux, where he hud been shot, and when the commuue fell was again ar rested and taken to Versailles, where be appeurs to bave passed the last e.uht months iu prison. Being tried a few day a l'u for thethirJ time, the un lucky and yet Kicky pork butcher was at once acquitted. "Bub, is your sister at home?" 'Yes, but ha won't see you to night." "Why?" "Because she sai I she was eoing to have ono more meesoi onions i ho never had another beau. if--LINCOLN. $2 PER ANNUM. - Our Drunken Brloegroom. BY rRESIDKNT TUTrLE.

X distinguished German scholar, Herr Kelb, in a recently published work, considers that he has fixed the true date of theCiucitixion. He hhows thut then: wits a total eclipse of t ie moon cuiicomiutht with the earthquake which occurred when Julius Ciesar was assassinated, on the lot h of March, B. C. 44. He had also calculated the JewkU calemhur to A-D.3J, and the result of his researches confirms the fact recorded by the Evangelists of the wonderful physical events that ac companied the Crucifixion. His as tronomical calculations also show thut n the Gill day of April, A. D. 31, there was a total eclipse of the sun, accompanied, in all probability, by the earthquake spoken ot in JMuthew. This mode of reckoning ia verified by another calculation, made by calculat ing backward from the grest total eclipse of April, 1818. w hich also gives April oih us the ilato ol the new moon, A. D. 31. As the Vernal equinox of the year fell ou March 25, and the Jews at their fetist of the pussover on the following new moon, it is clear that April 6th was indeiitified with N.istin 14 of the Jewish calendar, which moreover, was oii Friday, the day of preparation for the 8abbath, and this agrees with the Hebrew Talmud, so that astronomy, archosoloyy, traditiou ii I and Biblical history seem to unite in fixing tho date of the Crucifixion at April 6, A.

"Old Nei," as Senator Nesmiih was culled, lost his temper on that question. During a heated de bute he attacked the inefficiency and cowardice of a class of brigadiers who always congregated about the hotels in Washing u when there was immi nent danger of a battle at the front. "Senators!" said he, "go down to Wil lard's Hotel! observe tlie tluctua lions of our national conflict! If a but tle is near, the brigud'ers are afar off: they snuff it ut a safe distance.
