OCTOBER 23 THE FUNNY CORNER RIGHT XAHES. Of old, a " spada " wm called a " spade," By simples and by sages ; A "workman" did hi honest "work," And " -. rvants earne . their " wages ; " A "man" was title of reapcct, Whenever v irlu named it . There was bnt one of higher worth. And lovely " woman " claimed it; Bnt now we masquerade with words, The tiwb a great offense is, And desecrate onr English tongne By pride and false pretenses. We shame the language of cur sires We talk so mild and meekly ; We're " opera tire " for working men, And draw onr " salaries " weekly. Onr " lady " takes the place of " wife " That word so true and hearty ; And eTwry ' man's" a "gentleman," Unless we call him " party." Th " shopman " hates the name of shop ; And, by perversion later. The man who digs a railway trench, Is called a " navigator." Oh, five ns back onr honest speech ! It had a soul of beauty ; And tot us do cur daily " work," And think it pleasant duty ; Let's earn our " v-agea" as of yore The word can safer harm us ; Let's lot onr "sweethearts" and our "wives," And own that " women " charm us, So shall oar actions, like our w.irds. Be void of affection. And "spade " be "spade" and ' man" be "man." Throughout the Yankee nation. Pat Doolan, at Gettysburg, bow ed his bead to a cannon ball, which went whizzing past six inches above his bare skin. " Faith," said Pat, " one never loses anything by politeness." A Contested Max. A druggist was aroused by the ringing of his night bell, went down stairs, and had to serve a customer with a dose of salts. On his return his wife grumbled out, " What profit did you get on the penny? " "A lia' penny," replied the assiduous drug gist. " And for that ha' penny you will keep lioth me and yourself awake for a long time," rejoined the wife. " Never mind,"' added the placid druggist, " the dose of salts will keep him awake much longer; let us thank Heaven that we have the profits and not the pain of the transaction." Real Ge.nti.kmex. " Well, Mr. Flunkey," said a lawyer to a waiter who was under examination, "you say the defendant is no gentleman. What makes you think so? " " 'Cnuse, sir, he always says, ' Thank you,' when I hand him a mutton, or even a piece of bread. Now a real gentleman never does this, but hollers out, ' Here, Bill, get me a mutton chop, or I'll throw this pepper box at your head.' You can't deceive me with a gentleman, your worship. 'Cause why? I have associated with too many at the raee course." In Artemus Ward's inimitable lecture on ghosts, which by the way was a ghost of a lecture so far as ghosts were concerned, he tells of an absurd man who wouldn't have any glass in his win dows he thought the sash would be enough, as it would keep out the coarsest of the cold. This reminds a correspond ent of a story that old Parson H , of P 1 used to tell of his experience of the cold on the night of his marriage. They went on a " bridle tower" to his cousin's, down on the shore of Connecti cut, and spent the night, which was one of the coldest of the season, and being pnt into a cold spare room, they suffered severely. After a while his wife asked him to get up and see if he couldn't find something more to put upon the bed. After a diligent sea rub he could find nothing but his and his wife's clothing, which he gathered up and packed upon the bed, and got in and tried it aain, but still they "grew no warmer very fast," and his wife begged of him to get up and search about and see if anything more could be found, and suggested that there might possibly be something in a closet in one corner of the room ; so he went and examined the closet, and re ported to his wife that an old fish net was the only thing he could find. "Well, my dear," said she, "put it on, put Hon, that trill tangle the cold a little. '--Boston Post. Gen. Granger and a Negro Sentinel There is a negro recruiting office on Cedar street, Nashville, at the door of which stands a negro sentinel with his musket. A number of persons standing around, on the 2nd inst, took a consider able interest in noting the conduct of white officers who passed by. The senti nel saluted every officer that came along, and received the usual recognition. At last Gen. Granger was espied riding up the street, accompanied by a lady, and he immediately became the focus of all the eyes. What would he do? Would he return the salutation of the sentinel of African lineage? He did. Returning shortly after, by himself, the sentinel sa luted him the second time. The Gener al paused, put him through a short lesson in the manuel of arms, and when he brought him to a " present arms," sa luted him, and departed. We hope this example of the worthy General will not be lost on the lesse: lights, who appear to be afraid that the tegro will get upon an equality with them, or they with the negro, we don't exactly know which, and who are shocked with the impropriety of putting arms into the hands of men of color. Nashville Union. Young Nimrod' s First and Last Shot. A couple of gentlemen went out shoot ing the other day. One of them had never indulged in the sport before, and He consequently experienced that excite ment peculiar to a young hnnter o-oino-after his first game. The other being " an old hand at the gun, " was cool and collected. The young hunter begged the privilege of shooting the first gffme that turned up. which was granted. " "Look," spake the elder Nimrod. " there goes a squirrel. " "Where?" exclaimed Nimrod the younger, trembling with sudden excite ment. " There up that tree down ao-ain along the fence see, into that heap of brush. I'll start him out, and you shoot him. ' Cautiously aid old Nimro1 mnvr around to the other side of the brush in order to head off the squirrel, telling the adolescent Nim. to watch closely and shoot the game as it appeared, inserting a pole into the brush, meanwhile to start the squirrel out Trembling and Hushed with the unusual excitement, young Nimrod hardly knew whether he was on his head or heels lie attempt ed to cock his gun by trains insanelv at the trigger, and then struggled to put wu a vrAp ufti wuc i re.. 'jy on. "There he comes shoot! " yelled the veteran hunter, a little excited himself. The poor squirrel, frightened to bewil derment, ran toward him and dashed be tween his legs. As he did so, the inex perience! hunter blazed away, hit ex citement making him oblivious to such minor considerations as his friend's legs. The squirrel escaped unhurt, but several n ?rUCk the ,egS of 0,11 Ximrod. wh veiled with pain, cursing the stupidity of his companion, who attempted to shoot a squirrel while running between his legs. 1 hey shouldered their guns and started for home, old Nimrod limping and grumbling (he had been made game of got a game leg); and Nimrod the younger mortified, melancholy and glum.

" Colossus, Louisville. In relation to the rivor the mournfril cry of steamboatmen is " falling, fall ing, " and thus the cry hence to Pitts burg. All signs, they say, fail in dry weath er, nnd the " saw " seems to hold good these days. Old prognostieators sn v the moon is full of wiitor, and there is always a rise just after the full elections, but this year it don't come. I'erhaps the clerk of the weather has not yet got through with his jollifica'ion over the Ohio election, and lakes Ms "straight. " We have had several threats from the clouds, but like rebel's threats to carry the wiir norlh of the Ohio, they have turned out, threats alone Yesterdav the clouds gathered thicker lh:m usual, and fur more sable, frowning like a " dark jmufetj and dark-eyed man of destiny, " we know of, but whether or licit they will liour out any libations to the river god's or river men, remains to be seen, and our readers will probably find out a soon as we, if they s ay awake as long There was a perfect cessation in busi ness on the levee yesterday, there being no boats in port except; the high-headed and active little Chambers. The Colossus arrived from Louisvilla during Wednesday night, and returned forthwith. The May Duke, we are told, stopped to rest at the point of Slim Island bar, and had not arrived at a late hour last night. Shippers ai. ?. passengers should wait and watch, as she will not be apt to tar ry long in port when she comes. The D. B. Campbell has, for a day or two, been aground at Henderson Island, where she went for a load of corn. She expects to get off soon and re sume her place in the Evansville and Henderson trade. The spacious and elegant Delaware was due here last night, but will most probably arrive this morning, and return to Louisville forthwith. The J. T. McCombs is due here this evening, but she, too, may, and probably will, find the perils of navigation too great to allow her to make her regular time. It always pays to wait for Capt. Bal. lard nnd the stately and trim John Thomas. - We paid a short visit yesterday to the gallant and beautiful Armada, lying at the bone yard below the city. She is now as gorgeous as an oriental Princess arrayed for her nuptials. Ex tensive and important improvements have been made, and are about com pleted. Her wheels have been thoroughly overhauled, and everything put into the most perfect repair. Billy MeClurg, her talented and accomplished engineer, we found just giving the finishing touches to her massive and powerful engines and expresses himself not only satisfied, but highly delighted with those mighty motors, and is confident that when again the Armada takes the flood, she will not only surprise the public generally, but her owners and officers in particular. Her stair way has been changed, being now made like unto those of the Big Grey Eagle and Superior. The office has been set forward and several new state rooms added to her cabins. Her texas has been greatly enlarged, and now affords ample accommodations for all her officers and cabin crew. The cabin has been handsomely and elegant ly re-painted, and is exceedingly elegant and pretty. The exterior has also re ceived a new dress, and now looks radi aut wiiii licamesA The new lettering oh her paddle-boxes is a master piece of painting. Fancy chimney tops, of a very elegant pattern, have been added to her massive stacks and to her 'scape pipes, and when the water allows her to show her fair proportions to advantage, we predict that she will have ;no peer in point of style or speed on the lower Ohio. Her accomplished and popular commander has a perfect right to be proud of his model steamer, as she has to be proud of her captain and crew. The elegent and unrivalled Green river packet R. K. Dunkerson is also un dergoing extensive repairs, under the supervision of her skillful and courteous engineer, Mr. James S. Colvin. Her en gines have been put in thorough repair, her wood work, outside and inside, ele gantly repainted, her social hall being very handsomely grained, and the boat in every respect made to reflect credit on her owners, and on our handsome and gallant young friend whose name she bears. She is said, by competent judges, to be the best boat of her class now afloat i S . - XL . NOTICE.
