BLCK GLASS IX BROOKLYN HOttSK CABS. Mr. John S. Iloagland, superintendent of the Brooklyn and Coney Island railroad, via Jay and Smith streets, has placed blue glass in a few of his ears. John says the effect is wonderful.

Young and old men, with weak knees and grape vine steps, dull vision and headache, after riding a mile or two behind one of these panes on a sunshiny day, find that the rays have drawn all sense of heaviness from their heads and bodies, and made thein so agil that they spring from the cars and walk the remainder of their journey. Old ladies becomeyoung again as they step from the cars, and young ladies glide over the ground as gracefully as dovce swooping over a grass 1 in Holland, by the cotton exchange of Memphis. Bob Ingersoll observed the other evening that a professional office seeker is one of the meanest and lowest and basest of human beings." He certainly had no reference to Atchi-soniansor Kansans; no such creatures can be found in this state. Prince Bismarckhaving brought an action against Mr. Rudolph Meyer, editor of a clerical newspaper, for saying that the prince had accepted several shares from the Credit Foncier company, the result is that Mr.

Meyer goes to prison for nino months and pays costs. Southwest Texas is filled with a flourishing German population. The inhabitants of the state have doubled their numbers since 1870; they now amount to 2,000,000, and if the census were taken, they would be entitled to an increase of ten votes in the electoral college. The People's and the Safeguard life insurance companies of Philadelphia are burst bubbles. The People's "assets" consisted solely of a mortgage of $50,000 on mythical property, and $100,000 in the stock of a manufacturing company, that had no existence.

The Safeguard's only property was some forged bonds of a railroad company. The honeymoon had long gone by when a melancholy husband wearily confessed himself to a friend: "What do you think? I could never have imagined it In the first days of our married life site was an angel so dear and lovely that I could have eaten her up." "And now?" asked his friend. "Now I repent of not having done it." A French humorist writes: A doctor at a sick man's bodside says to the wife of the invalid, "It is my painful duty to inform you that your husband litis but a short time to live." "What!" exclaims the surprised wife. "Do you not see," says the doctor, "that already his hands are purple?" "I know it," responded the wife, "but he is a dyer." "When' that's so," coolly continues the doctor, "I must confess tliatyou'ar'e very fortunate, for if he had not been ti dyer would bo a dead man." P. T.

BABXCB. Mr. V. T. Barnum, whose renown as a showman is world-wide, a short time since sentagents to Europe to purchase novelties for his American Hippodrome, also to make arrangements for traveling through Europe with a vast collection of wild animals and curiosities of every nature.

Purchases have been made for him from Ilerr Ilagen-beek, of Hamburg, and from the Zoological gardens of London, Berlin and Amsterdam, an enumeration of which would take up too much space, but the importance of which cannot be two much dwelt upon. In fact, the transportation of his animals will require more room than could be given on two steamers between decks. From Mr. JameB Myers, the proprietor of the great American circus, in this city, Mr. Barnum's agents have purchased six of the magnificent Trakene stallions, which Mr.

Myers, at an enormous cost, obtained from the stud of the crown prince of Germany. Those animals are singularly well trained, and un-equaled for beauty of frame and action, and will attract great interest in the United States, where such a performance as theirs has never been witnessed. They inarch, trot, and gallop at the word of command; they wheel left or right with the precision of trained soldiers. A word suffices for theso intelligent four-footed actors, who go without a blunder through th; most complicated figures with a dash and grace charming to witness. addition to the above '-Mr.

Barnum's agents have also purchased trained horses and ponies from tbe Messrs. Sanger, of London, and will thus have rendered the Barnum Hippodrome tho most complete and attractive of places of amusement. To Mr. Myers alone Mr. Barnum's naid over 400,000 fr.Amejicaa"Regiter.
