Il Stupendous HOar.-The Philadelphia Ledger
contains detailed account of one of the most stu.
pendous hoaxes of the age, perpetrated on a hun
dred or more persons. by q, man named Lister,
Who represented himself to be the son of Mr. Lis.
ter, the proprietor of the ST. Charles Theatre, in
New Orleans. He made purchase of 10. on
Fourth street, from Mr.. Michael PRAY, giving a
check for $500 binding the bargain, and en-.
gagged a distinguished architect to make drawings
for theatre, which was 70 be the largest and most
magnificent in the world, adorned inside and out
with statuary. After the drawings were compile.
ted, he proceeded TO make contracts with the moss
experienced mechanics of the city for its immedi.
ate construction, allowing them all their own
prices, and agreeing to pay some even more thar
they asked for their work.
AT least hundred persons were engaged in this
way, and were anxiously awaiting for him to give
the word to commence operations, when the bub-
bic burst, Mr.. Pray having presented the check,
and found it was worth nothing. Many persons
had also engaged with him for an expedition to
California, and had entered into negotiations for
the purchase OF two vessels. Among the rest,
captain was seduced by his representa- tions TO
throw up the command Of a vessel, to 60 into his
ship, bound for the gold regions, and now finds
himself without any employment. New suits of
sails, and the most magnificent furniture were or.
dered for the vessels. Throughout the whole
transaction there was no attempt made to obtain
money, and il is supposed the youth was laboring
under monomania, but has been sharp enough to
elude an arrest since the bursting Of the bubble.

as he returned the saluiaiions from the armed
force. as well as from the people. He looked WELL
Notwithstanding the coldness of the morning.
Slight flakes of half melted snow began TO fall
about half past ten o'clock. He rode at a slow
pace along the line. appeared 10 81; his horse wel
and returned with grace and much dignity the ac-
c!amatons with which his presence was greeted.
He proceeded from the Place de la Concorde slo W.
ly and steadily towards the Madeline, preceded by
detachment of mounted national guards He
then turned 10 the right, and went in the same
manner along the boulevard, entered the Rue do
la Paix, and proceeded TO the Place Vendome,
where the fourth legion was drawn I'D in double
line, paraIleed 10 the Place, ready to receive him.
The acclamations which greeted his presence on
the Place de In Concorde. the Rue de la Revou-
ton (c'-derant Rue Royae) and the boulevard,
were certainly such as must have been gratifying
in the extreme to him and his friends bui they
were little in comparison with the burst of enhu-
slasm which hailed his appearance on the spot,
where, al the summit Of the beautiful column, the
Emperor Napoleon overooks the vast extern, of
Paris.

most gracefully inclined his head before the hero,
not man, woman or child, of the vas. crowd tho I
thronged the place, but joined in that immense
shout of" Vive Napoleon" The feeling was ob-
solutely contagious, and one might have seen the
tears start from the eyes Of old and ragged look
ing men. ..
It is difficult to say whether the gentle obeis ance
If the slight inclination of the head could be so
termed-was intentional or not. 1t had I'll the
appearance of being unprecedented. At all events
1t produced lis effect. The President then pro-

THE EIGHT AGES OF WOMAN.

--All the worlds stage
And women Ink men are only players g..
They loo their entrances and exits have,
And II her time woman plays many parts.
Her acts being eight ages. First the infant
Growing and screaming in her mother's lap
And then the little schoolgirl with book in hand
And joyous carol, tripping like bird
On merry feet 10 school. Next on the CARPET
comes
Sweet seventeen. guileless in heart, and pure,
Bushng at every word and half afraid
OF het own voice. Then the coquete,
Full o. strange words, and dubious savings,
Breaking mems hearts-slghing like Alexander,
For ore more triumph Jealous Of attention.
Laying her snares, and seeking the bauble fame
IN honpr's grave and then the young mother
Joyousand anxious. affecting dignity, 'tilI.
With becoming grief, signing and weeping
O'er her husbands grave-using her weeds
At once as ne:, and mask, 10 hide her grief
And catch another mate, and so she PLAYS her
part.
Shifts irto the matron grave with ruffs and frlls
And stiff white cap-of sober men and cautious
word.
Checking the light exuberance of youth:
Plotting and scheming for her daughters good,
And purring round for eligible malch-bible on
knee.
Snuff box in pocket, and eyes Oh heaven turned
When scanning not her daughters face and gown
Her young voice changing, with still sharper note
Cracks and mumb!es in It's tone. Last scene
or all, ending her strange and ftfu history,
Is full OF palns rheumatc-sighs and groans
Sans JOY. sans charms, sans grace. ans every
thing.
