JOHNSON AND BLONDIN.
fExtrcUOlbrucli, from tbo Intent wllUou uf BcnwcU'a
IJle of Dr. Jobn'on
Tbo next day was Saturday, and I called
upon my rercrend frrond in the Temple, and
niter some hesitation I mentioned that I had
purchase tickets of admission to the Crystal
Palace to seo the feats of tho French acrobat.
Blondin, who was to exhibit that day. J said
that I did not know whether I should go or
not.
"Sir," said Dr. Johnson, "why do you tell
me a lie? Von know that you hare resolred
upon witnessing this Frenchman's exhibition,
and the weakness of the desiie is less culpa
hie than the cowardice of the mendacity that
would veil it."
I admitted that I had the curiosity to behold
an instance of the power of courage and skill
in surmounting difficulties of a grave nature.
"You are a humbug," said my veneratod
friend. " Yon care nothing for the fellow's
oourago or skill, but you bare a vulgar desire
to co with the multitude, and, perhaps, a con
cealed hope that yqu.may be present at a pain
ful catastrophe."
I urged that the Prince of Wales, my Sover
eign's eldest ton, had witnessed the sight, and
rewarded the performer with a medal.
My honored friend became exceedingly angry.
" Do not," he aaid, " drag the name of a mem
ber of tho royal family of theso realms (royal
de facto he added with a murmur to himself)
into your miserablo plea. The Prince of Wales,
in not retusing to join in a transatlantic holi
day, was gracefully discharging an instalment
of the duty for which ho was accredited to tho
West. You hare no business on Sydenham
hill, and if you had a medal, so far from bestow
ing it upon Blondin, yon would stiok it upon
jour own hat, and repeat the Paolt farce. Let
me hear no such nonsense."
11 ut my character, as is well known, 13 one of
inrinciblo fortitude and pertinacity, and when I
know myself to be in the right, I am not easily
put dowu. I therefore returned to tho charge
with a courage wbioh almost astonished my
self. "Pindar sang tho praises of horse-raciug,
Dr. Johnson," I replied.
" A. horse is not a Frenchman, nor aro you
Pindar," retorted my rerorend friend, with that
quickness which belonged to him. The lively
sally restored his good humor, for, he added,
"You aro not even a Pindar of Wakefield,
though in your heart you despise Qoldy's Vicar
of that locality."
This was unjust, and I told him that though
1 did not think so highly of Qoldsmith's little
talo as some did, I was tar from despising an
elegantly written and moral fable. I then said,
" Dr. Johnson, will you do mo tho favor to
come and seo Blondin?"
Be laughed, and said I was putting him to
the expsrimn(um cruets which I afterwards
thought a most felicitous phrase, because tho
Frenchman bad to "cross" tho transept. I
doubt not I have lost hundreds of equally good
things through my culpable negligence of tran
scription. "Why, sir," ho said, "if you had asked me
to purchase a ticket for this sight I should have
peremptorily refused, because lam not justified
in contributing to bribe a fellow creaturo though
only a Frenchman and a mountebauk, to risk
the loss of his life. But as you have paid for
tho tickets, and as I shall not repay yoUj the
otm.? is wih yourself, and I will accompany
you."
" Wo aro at tho Crystal Palace," I remarked,
as tho train entered the station:
" The building is not of crystal, nor is it a
palace," said my illustrious friend.
The name, I said humbly, was given by Mr.
Punch.
"Mr. Punch is a great authority," said Dr.
Johnson, removing his hat for a moment, "and
1 will accept his nomenclature. The fact had
escaped me."
So ready was he to own an error when it was
properly brought before him.
" Mr. Punch" he continued, " is most fortu
nato in selecting denominations. It was he
who gave tho nama of Arcadia to that new ar
ciided garden and locality at South Kensington,
a name which I observe the journals are all
adopting without acknowledgement of tho orig
inal Inventor. But few can bo well uQbrd to bo
robbed, though the wealth of the Bank of Eng
land is no excuse for the criminality of the bur
glar." We proceed across tho beautiful garden, and
my reverend friend, whose classic recollections
wero ever ready, pointed to the Mercury on one
of the water temples, and remarked that there
was a Blondin ready perched. I sai,"Stat in
alernum," but was immediately and sternly re
buked by my houored friend for light use of a
word signilying eternity, " liut, " he added
playfully, " do not be cast dowu, for you your
sell are un everlasting doukey." This reassured
me, aud wo ascended to the gallery and took
our seats. Gazing down upon the vast area,
on tho sides of which and around it, wero
nearly 10,000 persons, Dr. Johnson whispered
slily:
" Do yon think as many persons would como
to see you supported by a single cord 1 "
1 felt hurt 1 for though I am conscioui of
many shortcomings, it was wounding to think
that tho groutest moralist of the age had ever
seriously contemplated my coming to be bang
ed. " Do not be a fool," said Dr. Johnson, kindly.
" You will repose in your Scottish mausoleum,
followed by an incalculable array of ssmi-de-nuded
Caledonia boors ; so be happy aud sur
vey uankiud."
The Frenchman came upon tho rope, ran,
tumbled, stood upon bis head, feigned to slip,
lay down, walkod baokwaids blindfolded, and
nerformed his other extraordinary irvmuostic
teats at a height of ISO feet from the floor that
had been clenrou uelow. .Military music play
ed, tbo vast assembly applauded, and tears
eame into my eyes.
"What aro you blubbering for?" said ray
illustrious frieud. " Do you envy that poor
acrobat in his triumph, or do you imagine that
you yourself could perform those feats better?
In the first alternative the sentiment is un
worthy! the second, tho vanity is egregious."
Thus did he ever seek to improvo my miud
and heart, and what do I not owo to him? I
told him, however, thatho misjudged me, and
that I was weeping to think that 10,000 of my
fellow-creatures bad assembled to derive ex
citement from the chanco of a Frenok niouute
bank breaking his neck.
" Spare your tears and stow your twaddle,"
responded my venerable friend. "They have
come for no such savage purpose. They hare
heard that a person has acquired the art of
safely walking on a suspended cord, and they
evince a landable desire to witness a triumph
of courage and skill. Do you degrade your fel
low subjects to the level of tho Roman specta
tors of gladiator fights? Is thoro one person
in that crowd who would turn up (he thumb, if
doing so would bring down that acrobat to that
floor."
I did not daro to remind him that ho had
summarily crushed ray own plea in hla cham
bers, but I asked him whether he would take
anything to drink. Ho was condescending
onough to partake of a bottle of Scottish ale
with mo, and seasoned it by a good-hummored
gibe at my selecting liquor bearing the name
of my country.
"The health of the French acrobat, with the
American reputation, in a tumbler of Scottish
alal" he aaid:
" Drunk by Dr. Johnson," I ventured to add,
" whose reputation is neither French nor Ameri
can, nor Scotch, nor English, but universal."
" You are a thundering humbug," said my
reverend friend, smiling. I have reason to be
lieve that he was pleased, for he permitted ma
to pay the cab from the terminus to the Temple.
BERGER'S BILLIARD PLAY IN BUF
FALO. The billiard performances of M. Berger in
Buffalo are thus noticed by the Commercial
Advertiser of that city :
" The exhibition opened with a French carom
game of one hundred points, between M. Ber
ger and oeereiter. r or tho benent ot the un
initiated, we Bay hero, that in this game but
three balls are used, the two whites and the
pink, and that each carom counts one. Among
evcry-day players, a ncoro of eight iu this
game would be considered good, equal to fifty
in onr ordinary game. Tho score last night
was as follows :
Birscr-S, 1,15,0,0,23, 10,3,0,1,8,1,0,5, 18,1,4,1. 10O
ScoMlter 3, 4, 0, 1), 0, 4, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 2, 0, 0, 1 IS
" When tho game was finished, M. Berger
changed the balls for a smaller set, with which
ho executed those shots which tho papers nil
over the country described, but which we never
tuny believed possible until now. it seemed
as if M. Berger had his cue-ball divided accu
rately in his eye into countless partitions, and
that he knew in just what serpentine couroo a
stroke on any one of them would force it. He
would force his ball around or over into a
basket placed on the table, and make the inev
itable carom, to the 'satisfaction me, professor.'
lie would jump it throuf b a hoop held a foot
above tho table, ovtr a cue, or send it spinning
down tho top of the side cushion, as a neces
sary preliminary to the everlasting carom.
" We were convinced, by what wo saw last
night, that the best players of this couutry may
givo up all idea, for the present, of their stand
ing even in a fixed ratio of inferiority to M.
Berger. The difference is not in degree, but
in kiud. It was seen in New York that tho
Professor would beat the person he played with
about the eame number of points, whether it
was Phclan or some amateur. Kavanagh, wo
believo, played a closer game with him than
any one else. Mr. Seereiter, a few days since,
made over seventy in a game with him. But
wo count this uothing, for we believo that Mr.
Berger, in the way of large runs, has done iu
this country by no means what he can do. He
evidently did not exert himself for this last
night, in the regular game. He tried to make
a carom each time, probably, but when ho got
the balls together he did not nurse them, but
wni'ld pfTpp.fc nlmnnt fvprv nhnt hv a nernen-
dicular force Their apparent approximation
to mm, tueretore, we thinu no test ot tne com
parative merits of our playeis. Mr. Kavanagh,
we understand, is practicing sedulously in M.
Berber's style of frame, and has acquired a
great many of his shots, but we think it will be
a long time before he equals his master."
One or tue Boys. Iu the couuty of Alle
ghany, N. Y., and on the headwaters of the Al
leghany river, lives an active, thrifty citizen,
still "in early manhood, who devotes his energies
to the preparation and sale of lumber. He rafts
many thousands of pine boards annually down
thenvers, and hag a lumber-yard at Memphis
probably not his only one. Associating inti
mately aud trading largely with Southrons, he
has ever been a thorough Democrat, and last
full advocated Breckinridge for President,
though he, of course, voted tbo Fusion ticket.
Hearing of trouble at Memphis, he started
for that city Borno weeks since, to look after his
property, but was met at Cincinnati by repre
sentations that induced him to think that even
he might not bo safe in the Tennessenn empo
rium. Ho telegraphed to a friend in Memphis
fur a solution ot his doubt, and was rather sur
prised ut receiviug the gruff answer, " Damn
you! como on I" Ho obeyed the discortcous
invitation; roached Memphis : aud soon found
his hotel surrounded by a mob of demons, yell
inc for his blood, though they only knew of him
that he came from the North, and was supposed
lo no alter pay tor bis property. Aided ty a
friend, he made his escape lrom a Tear window,
ran several miles acrosB the country to the next
station north on the railroad, thero took the
cars, and somehow reached Cinoinnati, whence
he telegraphed homo that he would follow tho
message forthwith, and wished to meet his
friends and neighbors the next evening. He
did. so meet them, and told them ho was in for
tho war for tho Union, and raised a company of
sharp shooters on tho spot, and is now at its
head in Virginia. Wheuever (he North shall
decide to entertain propositions looking to n
compromise, we shall move that he be appoint
ed oue of the Commissioijeca to arrange tho
terms of adjustment. A'. K Tribune.

A five year old newsboy, in New Haven,
Conn., swallowed a pouny the other day, and
cried pitiably about it till a medical by-slander
told him that if the money was good it would

A remarkable case of very "early piety"
has just been found in Brussels. The police
making their rounds at midnight, found an or
dinary clothes-line hanging near a door, sever
al feet above the ground, and tracing its histo
ry discovered that it came out of a garrot-wiu-dow
above. They entered the honso, convinced
that they were on the track of some daring
burglar?, searched alj the premises, and at last
on walking into the 'garret were horrified to
find themselves confronted by a house maid, in
a very easy erening dress, who, with tears, ex
plained that the mysterious clothes-line was at
tached to her left arm, in order that a young
waiter to whom she was hereself attached,
coming early in the morning might call her
with ajerk to prayers at the Cathedral. Aa
this explained the clothes liue, and there was
not much in the lino of clothes before them,
the discomfitted and blushing police beat n
hasty retreat.
Humors of the Scuool-Roou. A teacher,
in exercising his pupils recently in arithmetic,
gave the following question t
"A farmer put 1.12 bushels 1 peck of apples
in 46 barrels: how many bnshels did ho put
into a barrel I
A lad of bright parts, ambitious to be the
first to give an answer, said :
" Fourteen bushels 3 pecks."
"But how could you get 14 bushels of apples
into a barrel?" asked the teacher.
"Oh! I suppose the apples were email onos,"
was the arch reply of the scholar.
Hkenan CniLLKNors all Enqi.and. John
C. Heenan has forwarded a challenge to Eng
land to fight Mace, Hurst, King, or any other
mail in England, for the sum of $10,000. It is
also stated that Heenan's offer embraces several
other points, viz : That he (Heenan) will stake
$10,000 to $8,000 if Mace will come to this
country and fight in Canada; ho will gire Mace
$1,000 to defray his expenses here; or the
Boy will take $10,000 to $8,000 and fight in
England, if the champion of England will pay
Heenan $1,000 to defray his expenses to that
country.
Tut French Emfrkss Rewards a Police
Hcro. Not many weeks ago a pair of horses
ran away with the carriage of a French gentle
man, on tho Champs Elysees, in Paris, when the
crowd was numerous. The danger was imminent
to many persons, when a sergeant of tho police,
Uiscoy, gallantly ruslied forward, seized tne
horses by the head, and Btopped them in their
tlignt. A lady, passing in ner carnage, wit
nessed bis courage, and the next day he re
ceived a gold watch bearing the cypher of the
donor, nnd it was that of the Empress.
How He Got Orr. Mr. Lamberton, the
Postmaster at Warrington, Fla., who, was ar

what process of law and sentenced him to be
sent North. He was carried to Atlanta by the
Marshal of Montgomery, and will be shipped
from place to place until ho is off secession soil.
