Ail adveitiement, recently inseit
ed in a New Yoik daily, aknig for
iiiformatinn of Miss Mniy Lynch, has
developed .some strango phages in a
humble life. Mary Lynch was born
in Cottiitv Down, Iiel.ind, in l.S.'i.'i.
Her father had inherited con-mlotablc
landed o-tato, which luuiMicd homos
for over U00 tenants. Tltcio was
some dispute about the title, which
involved a long course of litigation,
and, at the time of his death, it was
still undecided, the costs hav ing near-
ly kept pace with his income fiom
the estate. At his death the fathei

prevented each time. After a time,
her father, finding Josephine lent
on uniiiigiatiiig gave bis consent
and piovided her with sullicieut
tneans to defiay tho expenses of the
vovnge. Aniving in Xcw Yoik City,
friendless and alone, the adventuiou
gitl applied to the Castle ti.uden au
thorities for aid, and soon she was
comfor'ably located as a domestic in
a Fifth avenuo family. Again Iho
ietless spiiit poscssed hor, and, like
tho typical servant giri, as soon as she
became useful, packed up her things
and left. At hor niosont lilaeo Jose-
phine served several teiins in vatious
positions. She is now somewhat bio-j
ken of her fickle disposition and is
eousideiid asoneof tho family. Some
davs ago a niv-teiiou package with

nloiy, fioin I'gypt as far as India
and Itaetiinna, whicli lie tlien did not
venture to attack.
At his lctuin, before ho entered up
on any new compicts, he conceived
the design of immortalizing hi name
by the building of u city answerable
to the greatness of his power ; he call-
!h1 il Xineveh, mid built it on. the
tllslcni banks of the Tigt is. Possibly
ue did no more man nni-ii uie woik
.
1 his fathcr 1,iul ,JC'un- "" ',ov,"n'
" Hio.I''ru. was to make Xineveh
' tll(! "8t i,,,(1 n,,ljlwt (,"' ' l,,
woild, and to put it out of the power
of those that came after him ever to
build or hope to build Mich another.
Xor was lie deceived in his view; for
never did any city come up to the
greatness and magnificence of tins,
it was 150 stadia (or eighteen miles
three quarters) in length, and ninety
i-ttitlin (or eleven miles and one quar
tet) in btc.idth : and consequently
was an oblong Mtime. Itsciicumfer
ence was -ISO stadia or sixty miles.
J Kor this reason we find it -aid in the
prophet Jonah, that "Xineveh was nn
exceeding great city of three days
journey ;' which is to be understood
0f the whole circuit or compass of the
city. The walls of it were 1U1 feet
high, and of so con-.ider.iblo a thick-,
nCss that three chariots might go j
ahicnst noon them with case. They
were fortified and adorned with 1500 1
si.tclot 1,,00,000 foot, L'00,000 Horse,)'
..- . - -
and about 10,000 chariots armed with
cythes. Diodorus adds that this
'ought not to appear inciediblo, since,
. not to mention the innumerable ar-
mics of Darius and Xerxes, the city of
Syiaeuso alone in the timo of Dion
ysius tho Tyrant, furnished l'JO.OOO
foot, and Il',000 hoise, besides 400 ves
sels well equipped and piovided. And
a little bef jie Hannibal's time, Italy,
including iho citteus and allies was
able to send into tho field near 1,000,
000 of men. Xintis made himself
master of a gieat number of cities,
and at last laid siege to Dactria, tho
capital of the count! v. Here he
would probably have oen alibis at

A gentleman who is distinguished
in social life was extremely anxious
to have the son of a warm lneiul
designated for one of the vacancies.
He called upon- tho President and
made his lotpiest. 'You see, Mr.
President.' said he, in advocating
tho young man's claim, 'Iris father is
