MATCH-MAKING EXTRAORDINARY.--The Courtier
Francais' gives a humorous account of the result atten.a
ing one of Marshal Bugeaud's attempts at military 001°fnization. About a year ago he founded the village °
Fouka, settling in it 60 soldiers; they were all bachelor!,
and, to provide them with wives, he sent them by
steamer, in a body, to Toulon, where they found
virgins, all warranted of good character. The ladle'
had dowries, furnished by the state, of sums ravel
from 241. to 481., and distributed in an inverse ran,
to natural charms. Three interviews were allowe'S
between the matrimonial bands ; one, a distant 5. 13„f
synoptical view; the second, still silent, an allotment
the brides and bridegrooms by name—the gentlenleho
apparently, being allowed some choice; the third,
wedding. There were fifty-nine marriages; one soldier
being quite unable to reconcile himself to the remaining
maid. 'I he heroes returned with their brides, and "ed
bachelor to Algiers; and the double column was revieeimb
by the marshal, each husband behind his spouse. The 6'"or
stood solitary and trembling in the rear of his liee;
comrades. The poor fellow quaked when the niars'a
put to him the awful question, " Where is )'°--r,
wife ?"" Monsieur le Marechal," replied the soltee
" all the others have wives." " Allons I" returned
„tnbe
$
marshal, "you are not such a foul as I thought Lot
were." He was pardoned for his celibacy. Alas, "ji
fared these military marriages ? A year had scarce
elapsed when most of those ladies fled from Fouka to
seducers of the army of Africa ; shamelessly betrarZ
husbands, homes, and drums, without even regrett37,
the ten hectares of land. Marshal Bugeaud had forg%
ten to include conjugal fidelity among:, his orders of 0`
day. k $
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—On Thursday wee
young woman named Hannah Dawson, cut her thr°-0
at her home, in Queen. street, Leeds. A young surge°
was called in immediately, and on examining her, Prno
nounced her dead, and left her. She was then laid 01)",0
a bed up stairs, uncovered, is readiness for a coronerr
jury to view the body. After a lapse of about an 111114,
one of the Leeds policemen, who was passing,. Its* 45
out of curiosity, to see the " deceased." His wish
complied with, and the policeman proceeded up 541";
and found her actually breathing. Another surge°,
was called in; she was then removed to the infirresrP
and was on Friday very satisfactorily recoverif;
Had the policeman's curiosity not led him to see tpd
unfortunate female she would, no doubt, in her expo!;
state, have been starved to death, if she had not exPir
from loss of blood.—Leech Mercury.
