TIDE TABLE.

A gentleman resident here tells a story of a good thing recently said by a little girl aged eleven, a relation of his, with reference to the Melbourne Cup. The child's father was reading aloud some sporting news from The Australasian, in which it was stated that a racing gentle* man had been offered £300 to scratch a horse. " £300 to scratch a horse ! " said the little Miss; "I'd scratch one for a good deal less than that if it wouldn't kick."

A cobbespondent of the S. F. Chroniefe relates the following bit of gossip :r*Mr Cornet-player Levy, husband to the younger Miss Con way, courts" the' favors of the fair sex, and this weakness has been taken advantage of by a shr.ewd Deputy Marshal desirous of serving process on him. Levy is blowing, his horn at the

Brighton Hotel/ beyond bur courts' jurisdiction; hence the Marshal sent him a

sweet-scenied epistle, purporting to come from a married woman, •• who could not

invite him to her house," but would meet him, " closely veiled, and if possible, have

a coupe in attendance," at a given corner in the fifth avenue on Monday morning. Levy'had particular business in town, so ' he said to his wife, oh that particular morning, hence he left Brighton beach and turned up in the Fifth avenue at .the hour indicated, where he discovered neither a veiled lady nor » coupe—simply a Marshal armed with a writ, upon which Levy had to jLjivo bail before .again blowing his iborn. . \
