A GOOD FiTDDANCE.

Finglarol hoe lately been rid of a very undesirable
visitor. His name his Joan Baptiste Valliant. He is a
soldier. and his early career was honourable. Ile fought
in the Italian campaign of Itcit, and in Mexico. and was
well 4,or:ord. Then he began to get into trouble. Ile
woe twou.sused first for wounding, and afterwards for
theft When the Communists rose on March lath, Itch
Valliant was keeping a hotel in Paris The Commune
made him a lieutenant. and he WWI enrolled in the Sixth
Company of the 22ith Federal Battalion. in the latter
days of the Cot 111 l lune he took a very active part in the
lighting, and throwing aside his lientenanes sword, he
peiz.Nl a rhacsepot and fired upon the Versailles troops
from Ishin.l a barricade. On May 24th he learnt that a
WIMI3II named I 'amlwan was digging a trench in the
courtyard ~fine house, in order to hide away a quantity
Of 111 l tiit!ons of war. Ile went to the house with a
nu I nisr of .1 ro nkett 1!. mutt ists, arrested her, and ordered
her to be shot i ointesliately. Fortunately there was in the
runipany of soldiers none young man who WIWI in his right
mind, and he conducted her to a place of safety. Vaillant,
etirale.l at the escape nt his victim, ordered her children
to be shot nil the s I pot. However, lk cc and was not
obeyed. Then he went to the Commissioner of Paice to
lay is charge against the mother, hut hero, too, he was
twilled, for she was set free and joyfully returned to her
own home. The next Jay .he heard a baud knocking at
the dune, in.{ owning it frontla Vaillant full of fury, who,
seizing her by the neck, mint. "This is the woman front

the owner of the house," said Valliant, and ',ninth': his
ride tired full at hint. lamhean struck the weapon aside

Valliant waxed furious, and no,int.ol upon Combenn a
aecompanvine him to the place of execution. Once more
the hlood.thirsty a/retell was baulked. On their way they

.t gIISATILIC 361.118111ATIL—At the Guildford County
Bench, on Saturday, lewd 14Mb:ton in the chair, a man
named James Williams was brought up on a charge of
taunting alms by the presentation of a petition couched
in the most plastics terms of charitable appeal—The
S tperintentlent of Police laid he had reason to believe that
the prisoner was simulating to he deaf and dumb. —The
noble Chairman said he was acquainted with the deaf and
dumb alphabet, acknowledge he had acquired for judical
purpo.teA, and he would test the prismer. He then put
the .pae.toon to the 'whom, by means of the digital
alphabet, " What have you to say to the thaw+ t" The
Prisoner iturueoliately responded het fingers,
" Nothing, but that I wishc.l to he ielea col. at I have
cotninitte no otter:re :n the Chairman replied,
tt your pejt:o-- is sa ell written, and as it has not been
el:,ta.vi that it is otherwisy than a statement of farts you
are discharged." The prisoner, with digital emphasis, re-
sponded, You are the find magistrate I ever met who
r sill converse with a dumb man, and it is to this fact I
.7e, divb.rg., I shall ever remember you with gratis

(+airman eaused great laughter in court.
Talking .4' leer, a good story is told in the West of
England. The agent c,f a great brewery firm finding
himself with a large quantity of beer that had gor.o off,
and biniself on the verge of an "arrangetaint with his
creditors" in consequence, sent an analytical chemist,
exPlained the ea ~ :14.01 —skeu him ashat wilt to be done.

"she---ehe always welcomes news of the people,
improvements in their manners, their health, and their
appearance. " She' declares that visiting her hunilde

Me rariah, one of her Scotch dependents, who prides
herself somewhat on her great height, good looks, and
youth —she le only 71—asked the Queen, not long ago,
about the Star in the East, "she" ijnenptly raised the

"WHAT THE WORLD SAYS."
The Allgememe Zeitang, tumally very well informed,
says that the following are the httpes cherished in
Roumania in regard to a recent proposals : On Belgium
declining the perilous honour of an occupation of
Bulgaria, the Powers will cast their eyes about them
for another small state to do the work, awl Russia, in
the most innocent way in the world, will point to

and then it will he discovered that she cannot under-
take the duty will she is dependent upon Turkey, and
that for the good of Europe she must he declared free.
This ought to turn out well; only, when the chain of
cause and effect in intended action is so long. then- is
almost ware to be something the matter with one of
the links.

The new mansion which the Earl of Ellesmere is
building on his Northamptonshire estates is nearly
completed, and, with the extensive stabling attached,
will have cost, by the time it is in occupation, some
£150,000. Being close to Brickley, Lord Ellesmere's
additional seat is in the centre of a fine hunting
district, and it erection has given a remarkable
impetus to the picturesquely situated and old-f amhioned
town.

Victoria Alelita is the pretty name that has been
chosen for the infant daughter of the Duke and
Duchess of Edinburgh: and her Majesty most have
given a sigh of relief at the intelligence that there
were only two additional denominatives to remember
in the enlarging circle of royal grand-children, whom
names alone previoudy number over a hundred.
The Prince of Wales, it seems, was to have pail a
visit to Colonel Owen Williams, at Craigydon, in the
Isle of Anglesey, on the 15th of January. His Royal
Highness, however, has now written to the gallant
colonel postponing his visit until next summer.

A correspondent remarks, with reference to a recent
note in this column concerning the revival in the
West of the custom of members of a hunt dining in
pink, that, "as far as the principal hunts in 'the
!Mires ' are concerned, it is the custom. He can
speak personally with respect to the member( f the
following hunts dining in pink' (of course in the
country awl during the hunting season) t -Pytchley„
Quorn, Belvoir, Cottesmore, Duke of Grafton's ; and
he thinks he may add, Mr. Tailhv's and the Warwick-
shire. As to the trying nature of the colour on
various complexions, it may be it .ticed that officers of
nearly all Her Majesty's regiment+ wear a scarlet
uniform at mess; and he is sure that any relief to the
black evening dress of the period is something of a
gain : it requires an aristocratic appearance to dis-
tinguish between the diner and the ordinary waiter,
not always in favour of the former."

So here is General Adye eune to annum nn that all

we are bound to show all one little secrets to any
foreign officer who cares to pry into them, whilst the
Governments they reprement obntinately decline to
give at the xlightent information of value. T.i in

at Woolwich succeeded yet in obtaining one of the
new German field-pieces, in order to try it againnt our
own guns? There are, or were, two old-fashioned
Kriippn at Shoeburynens ; but, I nuspeet, no npecimen
of the new and vastly improved weapon hat been
obtained. Have we c, 11111 Ch RS a single !stand of

nice arm, the Martini-Henry! If we have either

markably quiet: and toe are not at all given to hide
