THE FRENCH HEnctmEs.—Charles Rousselle,
called the Hercules Of the North, died lately at Lisle,
aged 45. He has been known to lift 2,4001 b. (French

to lose a pencil case in a house where he was stopping,
which was picked up by his hostess a few days after.—
" Who has lost a pencil-case?" asked the 'lady. " 1
dare say it's mine, said the lawyer, " I hope you'll
take care of it, for I have a lien upon it." The lady

" if you say so I'll not doubt your word—but I can
find no Lion any where about it, and so I'll keep it."

watermen. One of them soon approached the spot
where the unfortunate woman had fallen into the river,
and asked what was the matter, The answer was " n
young woman has just leaped over the bridge."
