< Mother : " Now, Nellie, Ml me w! o this gentleman is " Nellie : " That am .. n > gentleman ; that's pa." Ax extiuoiainary funernl took place at Whitechurch, EnjUnd, a few clays ago, |Mi»s Nunnerley, of Wtrral, Chcshne, Iticing interred in all hor wedding clothes, 'even to the w icath, boots and ring. The young lady was engaged to be married to a cheese- factor from London, son of Mr R. W. Burgtfs, cheese-factor, Whitechurch. Tlic wedding was postponed, owing to the illness ot her father, who died six weeks n<;o, tlie day after the ceremony was fived. As, howercr, all the preparations for the wedding were made, it was decided that it should take place quietly som » three weeks ago, but a day or so before then Miss Nunnerley herself was taken ill and died on Sunday. — Court Circular. It is stated that the steamship Giett Kaatern has been chaitered to take 2,000 gueats from England to tho New Orleans centennial. The last time that this vast misapplication of energy in shipi was in the gulf of Mexico ihe had a cargo of Texan cattle. In this, as in the ocean-cable laying and other lines, she lias been an unprofitable speculation ; but as an oceanic excursion vessel she may bo a success. The present plan is to fit up the ship a* nearly like a hotel in the way of »■ <oniniodation as possible, to pio\!<l' a concert troupe and theatrical company, and to make the ship so attractive that the gue»ts taking passage in it for the cotton exhibition will not care to seek the comfort that the New Orleans hotel , grants. A novkl way to increase the list of subscribers has' just been adopted by a French contemporary — the Gaulois. The proprietors of this journal, so we are told, undertake to pay a sum of 5,000f. at the decease of any subscriber who may meet with his death on a railway or tramway, or by being run over^ by a vehicle in the street. A proportionate sum is paid for injuries received. All that is necessary to produce is the last receipt of «übscription. The Gaulois also pays compensation to any purchaser of a single copy, or his heirs, shonld he be injured or killed on the day on which the paper is bought. — European Mail. What is Prince Bismarck's fuourite beverage, beer or wine ? was lately the subject of a wager between two Prussians living at Warsaw, who actually applied to the Chancellor him«elf to settle the bet. The I'iince's verdict left them at ui-.e as they wcie before, for his Secretary leplicd : " His Highness directs me to inform you that you are both in the ntrlit, inasmuch as he is equally fond of good wine and good beer, and, with the exception of his sick days, partakes of one as well ns the other." It may be said, also, th.-.t the great Chancellor ib reported to 1 ke them mixed, drinking stout "and champagne together, which will serm to n, oat people like spoiling two good things. — Court Circuit r. It is related of "Gcneial" Maplcson (we give him advanced rank on account his strategical ability) fiot he was recently asked in New York a large snni for import duty on the theatncal wigs of his chorus and supers. He declined to pay the exacted imposts, and ordered his men and women to return to the vessel and put on the property wigs. Thus covered they returned to the shore, and although there was some hesitation shown as to permitting them to pass, it was finally ruled that the law was ou the bide of the wig-wearers, and also on that of "General" Mapleson.— Court Journal.
