scarlet fever young lady of the highest attanments

parental fonlness and affection never exceed Every
effort was made by travelling and change of scenes,
to dspel the gloom that her death cast upon him, but
without effect Fears were entertained that he might
take his own life, and he was consequently closely
watched. He however eluded all vigilance, and on
Saturday last suddenly from the dinner table,
proceeded to his chamber, and before any danger was
apprebended, committed the fatal deed by shooting
himself with gun, the explosion of which was a
shock that told too well the sad catastrophe Upon
rushing to the ROOM they found him Frustrated on the

The PALACE OF VERSAILLES. = This magnificent

since the accession of Louis Philippe to the throne,

representing the principal events in French history
with the exception of those of the first revolution
the principal battles gained by the French army,
gether with portraits and statues of eminent generals,
admirals, statesmen, authors artists, and members
of the royal family. It is the most splendid and
complete collection of the kind in the world and has
cost Louis Philippe the immense sum of four millions
sterng or twenty millions of dollars. 1t has been
presented By the King to the nation and is certainly
such an immensely valuable present no King has

matter of course.-Indidnapoii Sentinel.
Chapman appears to have written the above with
out single loco shudder, notwithstanding his dislike
to notes generally Perhaps the fact that the emission
will be sound with 80 metallic base is the reason for
this apparent harmonious acquiescence. 1t is hoped
that this privileged company may never excite in our
friend any discordGnt feelings by their issuesCin-
cinnati Chronicle.
1t depends, sir. on the manner in which the notes
are issued whether they produce discordant or
concordant impressions.
BY the way, there are more points of resemblance
between Bank notes and Band notes, /" than you may
at first have imagined" There is good deal more
of sound than substance in both each owing much
for their existence to rtnd, any thing else And
as to the metallic basisif it depends on Grass-any
set of bank managers in the country can furnish
enough to put dozen bands in full blast If they
have brass enough too it matters but little about the
pecter, in either case.
