LOVE IN THE SOUTH SE•S.—When the father of
the present Chief of Lsgeba, whose name was Tuineau, died, two
of his most beloved wives were buried alive with the corpse, one on
each side. Love like this, supposing the arrangement to the taste
of the ladies, would hardlybe found in England.
DEBIT ATION s.—Menage derives the word peruke
from the Latin pilau 'hair,' thus—pilus, pelus,pelsitus, peluikus,
pehitiea, prima, peruke. This is nearly as ingenious as Porson's
derivation of euenontar front Jeremiah King, chub—Jeremiah
King, Jeremy King, Jerry King, Jer-king, Ger-kin, cucumber.
A REWS VENDER.—The general anxiety to obtain
away intelligence respecting Fiance, has, notwithstanding the se-
riousness of the subject,pect led to many ludicrous mistakes and oc-
arrears. A greedy news-seeker passing the other day the corner
of Downing-street, saw two Gentlemen (whom he immediately in-
rated with all the dignities of" official Personages") conversing; and
thinking, from the apparent eagerness of their discourse, that no
doubt the airs of France engrossed their attention, he slowly and
attentively passed them. He was not disappointed—the situation
of France was the theme of their conversation—he repassed, and
distinctly heard the words, " there is no doubt the citizens of
France have taken umbrage...—m" no more could he wait to hear
—delighted with having what he considered the first intelligence of
era important fact—he hastened off' to all the news offices with " ia-
aederived from the highest authority, that after a sanguinary
rate conflict, the glorious citizens of Paris had possessed
s of l Umbrage,' and thatthe tri-coloured flag was actually
lying oat that town !
WELLINGTON AND MA RLBOROUG H.—Marlborough
almost began his great career by his grand battle of Blenheim.
Wellington ended by his grand battle of Waterloo. Marlborough's
' greater glories were in the outset ; he started almost at once into a
great captain, having previously served only a little in the Low
Countries and a short campaign in Ireland. Wellington's fame
went on like a snow-ball from the first, always increasing by suc-
cessive accumulations, till, by his victory at Waterloo, he crowned
his own glory, and established the peace of Europe. Marlborough
never had such an opponent as Bonaparte, who was unquestionably,
besides his other astonishing qualities, the greatest Captain the Ca.-
tinent of Europe ever produced.
A CURE FOR ARS EN TELLS m.—The late Earl of liar-
court seems to have been anxious to guard, if possible, against the
inheritor of his property spending his income out of England. His
will directs, " That if the person who shall succeed to the lands
purchased with the 80,0001. (left in the first instance to his witlots
be absent from England more than six months at one time, unless
he be so in the civil or military service of Great Britain, er under
25 years of age, and travelling for his education, he shall forfeit the
advantages of such bequest." We hope the proviso will not make
his posterity peculiarly anxious for office on any terms.
In Paris, whilst the tribunal ofcommerce was declaring
its inability to register the unconstitutional ordinances, the cannon
were firing in all quarters, and a ball; which passed near the hall of
audience, interrupted the reading of the judgment. " Shut the
window," said the respectable President, calmly.—Paris papers say
a workman, covered with blood and sweat, asked for a little nourish-
ment. During the two days on which he had been fighting he had
eaten nothing. An individual hastened to welcome him. He was
scarcely seated, when the firing was heard. He threw away the
bread, and went to place his noble soul in the hands of a merciful
GOIN—The Archbishop of Pails attempted to depart from the capi.
tal. An enormous sum in gold was found in his carriage. This
Ad is the property of the prelate, and will be restored.
