A dandy, who was seated on the balcony of a Saratoga hotel, among a large company, was exquisitely dressed, and very highly perfumed with musk, which is very disagreeable to some persons. A plain farmer happening to pass near him, commenced snuffing suspiciously, and, looking around for the cause of the musky effluvia, he soon smelt out the dandy, and thus addressed him:--"I say, mister, I can tell ye what'll take that smell out of yer clothes: just bury 'em under ground for a week. My uncle run agin a skunk once, and--" but before the sentence was finished the enraged dandy sped from the crowd to escape the shouts of laughter, while the innocent farmer, who only meant to do him a kindness, was wondering what caused his sudden departure. STRIKING EFFECT OF A STRIKE.--80. A Boston contemporary says he finds among his exchanges the following paragraph:--"The p_r_interS aRe on A [upside down S]_tr_iKe [side down f]or hi[upside down g]her [upside down wa]GeS, [upside down W]e H[sideways a]ve [sideways C]on_c_Lude_d_ tO sEt o[sideways u]r o[sideways w]n tYp[upside down e]s [upside down i]n f_u_tUr[upside down e]! It [sideways si] EAsy [upside down e]Nou[_upside down g_]h," [TN: "The printers are on a strike for higher wages, we have concluded to set our own types in future! It is easy enough,".] HABITS OF A GREAT MAN.--81. Several paragraphs (says a New York paper) have been going the rounds in relation to the habits of great men, which paragraphs, as usual, are all wrong; inasmuch as we have had the pleasure of dining and hobnobbing with all the great men of this and every other country on the face of the globe. An illustration will prove this to the satisfaction of everybody. Mr. Seward generally rises from his bed in the morning about the time he gets up. He rarely, if ever, eats his breakfast before he gets it. He is not particular what kind of food he has, if he is provided with what he calls for. In his dress he is plain; never appearing in public without his pantaloons. He never wears his vest outside of his coat. He speaks his native dialect without a foreign accent. As an evidence of the methodical precision with which he attends to business, it is only necessary to allude to the fact that he invariably draws his salary the moment it is due; his memory in this respect is prodigious. He generally writes on paper, and uses a pen, which at intervals he dips into a stand of ink, that he keeps upon his table. BILLY BRAY.--82.
