Spirited Bride.Spirited Bride. – A couple were going to be married, and had proceeded as far as the church door; the gentleman then stopped his intented bride, and thus unexpectedly addressed her; «My dear Eliza, during our courtship I have told you the whole; when we are married, I shall insist upon three things.» «What are they?» asked the lady. « In the first place,» said the bridegroom, «I shall sleep alone, I shall eat alone, and find fault when thereis no occasion, can you submit to these conditions?» «O yes sir, very easily,» was the reply, «for if you sleep alone, I shall not, if you eat alone, I shall eat first; and as to your finding fault without occasion, that I think may be prevented, for I will take care you shall never want an occasion.» –The conditions being thus adjusted, they proceeded to the altar, and the ceremony was performed.

E x t r a o r d i n a r y d i s c o v e r yBaltimore Gazettte

We have met with a singular article in a late number of the Journal de Smyrne, received at the office of the Baltimore Gazettte. It states that a most interesting discovery has recently been made in Moldavia which consists in extinguishing every kind of fire or conflagration by throwing chopped straw upon it. The agricultural Society of Brunn, on the 27th January last, made several experiments to test the truth of the discovery, which were attended with complete success. It was found that on pouring into a fire grease, pitch, or spirits of wine, already burning in jars, and afterwards throwing chopped straw upon the whole, the fire was almost immediately extinguished. The Society also caused a large fire to be made with straw, billets of wood, paper and when the whole was well kindled, the fire was extinguished in a moment by the same means as before. It is somewhat remarkable that the chopped straw used in these experiments, so far from being consumed by the fire, was found, on the contrary, almost untouched, and could be used a second time for the same purpose. A bar of iron heated red hot, and thrust into a basket filled with chopped straw, not only failed to set the straw on fire, but became sensibly cool. A last trial consisted in putting into a heap of chopped straw, some inches in depth, a bag of wheat, upon which was spread a quantity of gun-powder covered with sheets of paper, and then covering the heap with bundles of straw, which were set on fire in different places—after the straw was entirely consumed and the ashes swept away, the chopped straw underneath was found untouched, and the bag with the powder and paper, was withdrawn from the heap without having been in the slightest degree affected by the fire.

It is to be remarked that it is necessary to throw the chopped straw with some force upon the flames, and to stir it afterwards, if possible.

Complimentary.A Yankee and an English capitan, each in a schooner, tried their speed in Gibraltar bay, when our countryman beat John Bull all hollow. They met on shore the next day, and the Englishman swore he had never been outsailed before: “Just like me”, said Jonathan, “for my Jemina never beat nothing afore.”

Just a jokeJim, you’ve been drinking? —What, me?No I haven’t, I’ve been looking on while another feller was drinking and it was too much for me.

The Northern Pacific Excursion.About 200 prominent men have accepted invitations to attend the cer-emonies in honor of the completion of the Northern Pacific railroad. The connecting rail between the two completed sections of the road will be laid on September 8th, at a point about 50 miles west of Helena, Mont, in the valley of the Little Blackfoot river. Excursion trains con-taining the invited guests will leave New York and Philadelphia on the 29th instant, via the New York Central, Erie, and Pennsylvania roads. General Grant, Secretary Lincoln, and Hon. William M. Evarts will be of the party. Mr. Evarts is to deliver the oration upon the occasion of the driving of the last spike. It is expected that the governors of all the states and territories traversed by the Northern Pacific will be present at the ceremonies; also, several members of Congress and two or three members of the English Parliament. The St. Paul and Minneapolis people will give a banquet to the party on the evening go September 3, at lake Minnetoka. After the exercises on the 8th, the excursionists will proceed to Portland, Oregon, arriving there on the 11th. They will spend about ten days in visiting Puget sound, Victoria, B.C., and the Williamette valley in Oregon. Those who return to New York will reach there about September 30.

F o r e i g n N e w sWe learn on Extra Albany Eve. Journal that the Cambria arrived at New York on Sunday last, bringing one week later news from Europe.We see but very little of importance.– The French Elections have passed quietly, although the usual cry of bribery and corruption is raised by the minority.The news from other portions of the continent is exciting, and it is difficult to give an opinion of the result.The Irish are getting pledges for Repeal, talking and swaggering over their intentions, but taking every precaution to keep out of the way of danger, while old John is watching their movements, club in hand.Spain and Portugal are trembling on the eve of a revolution.There has been another battle in Denmark. Hamburg, Baden and other cities are in a general muss; and to sum up, we think there is more rowdyism than patriotism in the whole movement. @

A Jo l l y Red Nose .A Jolly Red Nose — We never thought there was much jollity about a red nose, and having reflected a great deal on this subject, could never discover any sufficient reason for the origin of this well known term, «a jolly red nose.» We never knew that it clevated the standing of any one in society, that it was more useful in any way than other noses, or, that those possessing it were unusually agreable to themselves or others. The virtue of a nose is very great. Every one has read of the distinctive characteristics of the Roman nose, the Grecian nose, the Aquiline nose, the Pug nose, and all the most celebrated varieties of noses; but no one has ever heard of any especial fitness for office in a red nose. They are especially disagreable to flies, which buzz about, but never touch them. Even when asleep, they keep the musquitoes at bay, and this is perhaps one of their greatest advantages.

The Duke de Re ichstadt . It is said in one of the late English papers that a short time before his death, the young Napoleon wrote for himself the following epitaph, which is stamped with a more touching melancholy than could be conveyed in an inscription of ten times its length:

Here lies the Son of the Great Napoleon: He was born King of Rome, And died a Colonel in the Austrian service.

English JudgesIn the Pen and Ink Sketches of the «Boston Atlas» is the following account of Judges of England.The Judges are a solemn looking series of individuals–bound in scarlet and ermine. In Denman’s face there is as much real dignity and majesty as in that of any ancient statue which i ever saw. Willams’ physiognomy is indicative only of a certain whipper snapper sort of smartness. Maule’s looks as if it were difficult for him to repress a smile. Parke’s is massive and solemn. Rolfe’s full of benevolent acuteness; but Coleridge’s is actually beautiful. Some months since in an article in Blackwood’s Magazine—Warren, author of the Diary of a late Physician described it—I do not exactly remember his words, and i have not the work before me to refer to, but it was to the effect that Coleridge’s features bore a most perfect resemblance of the Savior which we see in some of the paintings by the old masters. I have looked on Coleridge’s countenance often and see fresh beauty in it at every glance. Asa Judge he ranks high, but no higher than his deservings. With a heart brimming over with human kindness, he possesses all the firmness requisite for his high position.—Once I heard him pass sentence of death upon a poor wretch—the Judge’s large full eye swam with tears and his face was deadly pale. I question if the criminal felt more agony than his earthly Judge. He is nephew of the poet and philosopher L.T. Coleridge, whose genius seems to have been to a great extent hereditary.

The following remarkable incident is taken from a letter writte by a distinguished officer who commanded at Saltillo,to a friend in this city: «While the battle was going on, there came over us a gentle shower, and the most beautiful rainbow appeared(on our side) that i ever saw.I then thought that the Lord was for us, and cared

not who was against us. In about an hour afterward, there came up a thick black cloud, which extended itself across the valley, immediately over the two armies, entirely concealing them from my view, from which i could hear peal after peal of heavy thunder, and see the sharp lightning descend; at the same time I could hear the roar of the cannon of both armies, then engaged in deadly conflict; as though Heavens artillery was contending against that of feeble man.»

During the recent trip of «Northener» steamer to this city from Charleston, the watch on deck were alarmed at about day breach one morning, with the cry, «a man overboard!» and a boat was instantly lowered and maned for the purpose, if possible, of rescuing the sufferer. After pulling back in the wake of the steamer some three quarters of a mile, the customer was found manfully pulling foot and hand for New York, but exceedingly tired of his efforts to keep with the vessel. He was hauled over the side, and the steamer,having laid too during the interim, he was soon placed in his state room, rather exhausted but not mercurially drowned.

It seemed that, in a fit of night walking, he had, arisen from his bed, and, in his pantaloons and slippers, gone forward as far as the windlass, when, steping upon the railing, he made the plunge with the words, «I am going!» The splash and exclamation were heard by the watch on deck, and the alarm given, which resulted in his rescue. We learn that he is a gentleman doing business in the lower part of the city. He knew nothing of the circumstance until he found himself in the Atlantic off Cape Hatteras.

Dangerous Somnambulism.
