TEETOTALISM AND THE FEANCHISE.—Thirteen years
ago an advertisement appeared in the Bridgwater Times as
follows :—" A house batter than beer. Any person who is
spending 40. a day in beer, spirits, &c., may own and have
immediate possession of a house, value £60., if he will join
the building society, and pay into its funds the same
amount (4td. a day) which he now spends at the public
house." The building society has lately terminated, the
members have had their parchments, their names are
enrolled on the list of freeholders of the county, and thus
teetotalism has aided, to some extent, an extension of the
suffrage.
A SPECULATOR IN TROUBLE.—At Berlin a speculator
got information that contracts for a quantity of spirits
were about to be issued, and therefore bought up all he
could obtain, causing a considerable rise in price. Had
this price been maintained, several houses in Berlin would
have been ruined. Those who found themselves thus
menaced, resorted to a mode of "execution" of anew kind.
In the Merchandise Bourse they attacked the imprudent
monopoliser, and inflicted on him such a personal correc-
tion that he was compelled to run for his life, and seek
succour in the Stock Bourse, to which place, however, he
was followed lby his pursuers ; and the confusion thus
caused was so great that business was for a short time
suspended, and order was only restored by the aid of a
body of police.
HOW MUCK STUFF IT TAR ES FOR A LADY'S DRESS.--1311t,
do you know, you transatlantic mortals, how many yards
of silk enter into a Parisian robe with flounces ? 23 yards
—no more than that. Some one has taken the pains to
calculate how much goods in totality enter into a lady's
toilet. Add to the 23 yards of silk above, five skirts,
(which is the least they carry in the beau monde; in the
demimonde they reach seven), at five breadths each,
which would make an average of six yards toithe skirt, and
you arrive at the formidable figure of 53 yards, or
159 feet-15 feet higher than the column of the Place
Vendome, the statue of Napoleon included.—Paris Corres-
pondence of the New York Times.

SMUGGLING ON THE SOUTH DEVON COAST.—Of late
smuggling has been carried on from the French coast to
that of Devon to a considerable extent, and has, conse-
quently, excited the attention of the revenue officers. Two
of the Exmouth pilots discovered, on Saturday morning
last, what appeared to be an empty boat, knocking about
the Mare Rocks. On closer inspection, however, it proved
to be a flat-bottomed boat from the west coast of France.
Captain West, of the Exmouth station, and his men, at
once went in pursuit, and ultimately found that 150 kegs
of uncoloured brandy, and two flaggons of sample brandy,
had been stowed away by the smugglers in an old stone
barge above Starcross. It appears that six men from the
crew of a French ship, lying in the offing, had succeeded,
under cover of darkness, in getting this unwieldly cratt
from the vessel to the bar, passinc, the coast guard men,
and the 100k-out stations on both sides of the estuary of the
ITxe. They the❑ tried to scuttle her, but failing in this,
she drifted out with the tide, and was found by the
revenue cffiqers bumping on the rocks at day-break, which
led to the capture of the large quantity of spirits named
above,
