REMARKABLE CONTRASTS.—That was a striking mo-
ment in the life of Louis Philippe, when, two months
afterwards, he read in the columns of the Moniteur, at
Nuilly, the fatal ordinances of July 1830 ! M. Dupin
rushed to the Château : all was agitation and alarm. But
the duke bad resolved not to alter his independent and
dignified attitude. He had come to the resolution to re-
main in France let what would occur ; and no longer to
be exposed to the insults, ignominy, prosecutions, and
sorrows of foreign exile. Although the Duke had been
prepared for some coup dVlat, the ordinances of July
greatly exceeded his worst apprehensions, and the resist-
ance of all ranks of the people by no means surprised him.
Yet, again, to him his duty was clear. He remained at
home, in the bosom of hls family, attended no meeting,
gave no advice, entered into no correspondence with the
revolutionary party, and so acted during Sunday, Monday,
and Tuesday. On Wednesday, having been apprised that
an attempt would be made to arrest him, the duke con-
cealed himself in the house of a friend, and but a short
time had elapsed after his departure, before the soldiers
of the Polignac cabinet arrived, to carry that intended
arrest into effect. So wholly did the Duke isolate him-
self from the revolution and its agents, that even when
his presence was called for by the chiefs of the success-
ful movement, he could not be found, and his retreat was
not known to his most familiar friends. At length the
cry was heard, " Long live the Duke of Orleans 1" and
the Scandinavian pedestrian, the Swiss professor of ma-
thematics, and the dollar-less wanderer in America, was
proclaimed—King of the French !—Frazer's Magazine.
HERESY ON THE BIBLE—TRUE RELIGION IN SAI-
LORS.—An esteemed correspondent thus writes :—" Du-
ring my passage from India to 'the Cape, in a ship called
the Alexander. the following very interesting circumstance
happened. A quarter-mister on leaving the helm, entered
the cabin to report. The captain was not there, but a
clergyman, a passenger, was at the time intently bent on
perusing Henry on the Bible.' Jack, being at his back,
thought it a tine chance to peep at the studies of his rever-
ence, but was taken aback on observing what be consid-
ered to be, by the clearest possible evidence (his own eyes)
Heresy on the Bible.'—Jack's ' whew ! ' pretty audibly
given, startled the clergyman, who turning round had to
encounter such a look from the sailor as greatly discon-
certed him. Jack retired hastily. The next day was
Sunday. The deck was rigged for church—the bell
sountled—the clergyman, captain, officers, and passengers,
were all ready, but none of the crew made their appear-
ance. The boatswain was ordered to pipe the hands to
church ; he, however, respectfully intimated that he would
pipe to any other order but that ; the consternation became
general, when to the clergyman's surprise, Jack appeaied
alone, and simply stated that the ship's company were
not over particular, but they were just then debating what
should be done, with the gentleman in black who was
teaching them the way to ' Look at his book ! ' cried.
Jack, and you will find him regularly cramming him-
self with Heresy on the Bible. I caught him in the fact
yesterday. The mystery was soon explained to honest
Jack, who jumped below and was heard shouting, Par-
son's not the —! Parson's not the !' He returned,
followed by all his shipmates, who joined in the service,
and never more devoutly."—Freemasons' Quarterly Re-
view for October.
ELEPHANT HUNTING.—Capt. L—, now command-
ing at Padenny, went lately out elephant shooting, and
when not more than twelve yards from a large tusked one
be coolly took aim and fired at him, intending to send the
ball through his head ; but, in place of doing so, he only
wounded him in the neck ; which so enraged the enormous
animal, that in the most furious manner possible he in-
stantly charged Capt. L—, who, having gone up so
close, as to be almost, I may say, within the reach of his
trunk, had no hope whatever at being able to escape.
While the captain was in this critical situation, a Kaydyan,
who had for some time kept close on his heels, threw him-
self between him and the elephant, pronounced rapidly,
but distinctly, a few words, and stopped, the enraged
animal coming on in full career; he then held forward
his arms, and uttering some other words, in a very loud
