FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. ARIS, Oct. 16th.—The latest advices from the French admiral at Chew on the Galootchu River show that the French have had a glorious victory at that point 48,092,673,- 492,246 Chinese Coolies having been slain by a handful of French troops. The French lost two fingers anda Meershaum pipe. ‘The remainder of the Chinese Troops fled to Slang-tung | where they were re-enforced by a tribe of Pigeon-English with whose aid they returned and exploded a Roman Candle under the French Commander's quarters utterly routing their adversaries. The Temps this morning blames Minister Ferry for allow- ing the French to be defeated at Tsing-Tsing, stating that the Premier is directly responsible for the fact that there were only 16,000 men and ten ships at the port who could not be ex- pected to resist the attack of the four Meandarins, as the attack- ing Chinese tramps are termed. A stand of French col(I)ars were captured at lon-Dree this morning. Tea is somewhat stronger to-day, and the price of Canine, | the tariff on Bark having been reduced, has fallen five points. The Mugapore of Chickadee refuses to pay the war tax lev- ied on his head, and that useful article has been confiscated by the Empress. CARLYLE SMITH. RENDER: VNTO $CIS$SOR$ THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE SCIS$ORS - ay I TELL you what,” airily exclaimed Perkins, as he sat down tothe supper table,‘ I was ina tight place this afternoon,” ‘Yes, I know you were,” interrupted his wife in clear, cold utterances that cut like a knife ; ‘*1 saw you coming out of it." And then it flashed across Perkins's mind that he had incident- ally stepped into a saloon with a friend, for the purpose of exam- ining a doubtful political statement with the aid of a magnifying glass, and this contemplated anecdote slipped from his grasp like money at a summer resort, while the supper was finished amid a silence so profound that he could plainly hear a napkin ring.— Rockland Courier. Diners-OuT are jealous of one another. Mr, Hayward was frequently scandalously attacked, and figures as Venom Tuft in Mr, Samuel Warren's ** Ten Thousand a Year.” Now Mr. War- ren was himself not exempt from the charge of liking great peo- ple. There is a Bar story told of him, that once, when sitting in vert by the side of a brother barrister, he said to him: “I must go now, Davison, as I am going to dine with Lord Lyndhurst.” “*Soam I," said Davison, Warren looked disconcerted, but went out of court, and quickly came in again, and said to Dav- ison; ‘* When I said I was going to dine with Lord Lyndhurst, I was joking.” ‘‘ Well,” said Davison, ‘so was I !""—Argonaut.
