CeñtOj the celebrated danseuse, at n jondon ihcatre, a mamtnoth bóquet was lowred down to tbe etago. It is described as eing literalljr a tree of flowers, and cost two uindred and fifiy pounds sterling. How many rarving families in that same city wonld this utn liavefed! how many freezirig backs would t have clothed. A Mr. Green is publicly telling liis xperience as a garabler to the citizens of St. Louis, Píe asseíts that he can teil íie faces of all playing cards by certain rivate marks upon their backs. These marks, he says, are made in the process of manufacture; meaning of course that lie card makers are in league with the gamblers. A committee have been apointed to wait on Mr. Green for the pur)ose of testing his assertion.
