The Board of Brokers is a curiosity, and is . city—The principal animals on exhibition . are bulls and bears, but there isa great varie. and there is no Mery”? of . be imitated in a manner superior to the ori. ginal by seme one of the members.—While in . laid aside, and all sorts of “tricks upon travellers” are practised by old heads, who, out. of smiling. These are about one hundred and fifty members, but only one age, and the youngest twenty-five. The initiation fee is four hundred dollars, and the yearly dues, in the shape of fines, are from twento three hundred dollarsmore. If not on hand at half-past ten o'clock, when. the to the door, one shilling ; for bidding on . for stand. on through the catalogue. Some of the mem. bers get fined iwo or three dollars a day. The stock list is called off by the president, beginning with government and state stocks, . railroad stocks, and closing with railroad Time is given on cach for bidding. . Everything goes along pretty quietly until . the “fancies”? are réacM@d. such as Nicaragua, Cumberland, Evie, Hudson River, and Harlem, when there are (oceasionally) scenes of noise and confusion perfectly indescribable, Fifty men are yelling at the top of their voic. es—souie wanting to sell, some wanting to buy—some jumnping up and some sitting dowi ited—all trying to sell the high. est and buy the lowest—making noise enough . and rendering it almost impossible to get the After a great many raps, and “Come to order, gentlemen!’ and “T will fine every gentleman two shillings bidding on that stock!’ by the president, order is once more restored. It often happens that one sale is claimed by two persons, and in that case the question is laid before the board to be decided. The decisions are oftentimes unjust, but there is no help forit. Ifa broker is not popular, he stands a poor chance of getting a decision in his favor. Sometimes, in the midst of the greatest excitement. when thousands of dollars are being made and lost, some incidents will happen that will divert the attention of the whole board, and prevent, for a time, any business being done. One day, when the board was on Erie, and the excitement high, Mr. D. a French gentle. man, and one of the most quiet, ecntlemanly menin the world, got a little excited, and In an instant, and with aunanimity that would hardly secm possible, the whole board struck up the Marseilles Hymn, and sung it through, in spite of all the efforts of the president to prevent it. Sometimes when on a serious stock, like Crystal Palace, a hen will be heard to cackle, then a Shanghai will crow, ducks will quack, anda general barn-yard concert will take place. A man will get up to goto the other end of the room, and everybody wil! begin to laugh.—He will look round and see all eyes directed to him.

Yet it appears to us that a great many more homilies will have to be written to disprove the existence of what are commonly called lucky men. Fortune is acknowledged to be supreme in war ; and, we opine, that upon close observation we shall find the tickle goddess nearly as potential in the ordizary affairs of life.

How Cincinnati BECAME A Crry.—In the . settlement of new countries, it often happens important results. According to Judge Burnet's eee on the North Western Territory.” the question whether North Bend of Cincinnati should be the great commercial town of the Miami country was decided by the fact that the commandant of the military station at the North Bend became strongly . jatiached toa “black-eyed lady,” {who lived . with her husband at the Bend where he was . ‘tationed ; and the husband becoming someWhat alarmed at the attentions which the commandant paid to his wife, removed to . Cincinnati. Finding his lady love had fled, . the officer thought North Bend unfit fora to Cincinnati, and from that day the glory of . the Bend departed, and that of Cincinnati . , . arose. Judge Burnet remarks (page 56.) in the destruction of Troy; and irresistible . charms of another female transferred the cominercial emporium of Ohio to the place where if now is. If this captivating, American . Helen had continued at the Pead, the gari. son would have been erected there—population, capital and business would have been centered there, and thence it would have been . ‘a Queen City of the West.”—Who, after . this will say that woman is of no importance . in the decrees of fortune ?°—[ Cincinnati GaSILver. ie Washington .

These are about one hundred and fifty members, but only one age, and the youngest twenty-five.

The stock list is called off by the president, beginning with government and state stocks, . railroad stocks, and closing with railroad Time is given on cach for bidding. . Everything goes along pretty quietly until . the “fancies”? are réacM@d. such as Nicaragua, Cumberland, Evie, Hudson River, and Harlem, when there are (oceasionally) scenes of noise and confusion perfectly indescribable, Fifty men are yelling at the top of their voic. es—souie wanting to sell, some wanting to buy—some jumnping up and some sitting dowi ited—all trying to sell the high. est and buy the lowest—making noise enough . and rendering it almost impossible to get the After a great many raps, and “Come to order, gentlemen!’ and “T will fine every gentleman two shillings bidding on that stock!’ by the president, order is once more restored. It often happens that one sale is claimed by two persons, and in that case the question is laid before the board to be decided. The decisions are oftentimes unjust, but there is no help forit. Ifa broker is not popular, he stands a poor chance of getting a decision in his favor. Sometimes, in the midst of the greatest excitement. when thousands of dollars are being made and lost, some incidents will happen that will divert the attention of the whole board, and prevent, for a time, any business being done. One day, when the board was on Erie, and the excitement high, Mr. D. a French gentle. man, and one of the most quiet, ecntlemanly menin the world, got a little excited, and In an instant, and with aunanimity that would hardly secm possible, the whole board struck up the Marseilles Hymn, and sung it through, in spite of all the efforts of the president to prevent it.

How Cincinnati BECAME A Crry.—In the . settlement of new countries, it often happens important results. According to Judge Burnet's eee on the North Western Territory.” the question whether North Bend of Cincinnati should be the great commercial town of the Miami country was decided by the fact that the commandant of the military station at the North Bend became strongly . jatiached toa “black-eyed lady,” {who lived . with her husband at the Bend where he was . ‘tationed ; and the husband becoming someWhat alarmed at the attentions which the commandant paid to his wife, removed to . Cincinnati. Finding his lady love had fled, . the officer thought North Bend unfit fora to Cincinnati, and from that day the glory of . the Bend departed, and that of Cincinnati . , . arose. Judge Burnet remarks (page 56.) in the destruction of Troy; and irresistible . charms of another female transferred the cominercial emporium of Ohio to the place where if now is.
