Galignani says : " The Empress, accompanied by the
Princess Clothilde and the Princess Mathilde, visited the
flower show in the Exhibition Palace the day before yester-
day. One of the exhibitors, having a new species of rose,
remarkably fine, presented it to her Majesty, with a request
that she would deign to give it a name. ' Well,' said the
Empress, 'call it the Montebello !' The designation was
considered a most happy one, both on account of the recent
combat at that place, and because the flower was handed to
her Majesy by the Duchess of Montebello."

A letter from Vienna mentions, that at the interview
between the 'Emperor Francis Joseph and the Emperor
Nicholas at Olmutz, in the list of distinguished persons
desirous of being presented to the Emperor of Russia, and
submitted by the Ambassador, was the name of Baron do
Bach, but the Emperor struck it out. On a subsequent
occasion Baron de Bach was present at a dinner given by
the Emperor of Austria to the Emperor of Russia ; and
after dinner Baron de Mayendorff, the Russian Ambassador,
presented him in the embrasure of a window to his Majesty,
saying, " I have the honour to present to your Majesty
Baron de Bach, Minister of the Interior." The Emperor
simply said, " Charme," and continued his conversation
with other personages.

It is a great pleasure to be alone, especially when you
have your sweetheart with you.
Why is a tradesman, who keeps enlarging his stock, like
a reptile ? Because he is an adder.
GREASE YOUR WHEELS.—A man can "get along" with-
out advertising, and so can a waggon wheel without greas-
ing ; but it goes hard.
Miss Nancy says a man is good for nothing until he is
married, and, according to her experience, he is only worth
as much again when he is.
