From 1860, the history Of St. Cloud becomes
connected with royalty. 1t was then that Louis
XIV purchased a residence there for his broth
er, the Due d'Orleans.
A certain minister Of France, by the name
of Herverd, owned The chateau and the royal
grounds, which afterwards became royal prop
erty He had just embellshed the gardens,
bull, the fountains, placed the statuary, and in
fact had gone to the widest extravaganza in
making i, the most splendid private residence
in France. But in an age when the honesty
of public officers was easily suspected. and as
easily punished, it was important for Hervard
to conceal from the King, and from Mazarin in
particular, the enormous sum spent upon 81.
Cloud But the Italian cardinal was too willy
10 allow himself to be deceived about things Of
tina, sort. and he always knew how TO turn
them to his masters advantage When, there
fore, Lonis set his heart on having ST. Cloud
Tor his brother, Mazarin was commissioned TO
make the purchase. The cardinal accordingly
went one day to the Hervard paradise, and pre-
tended that he had only come to make sim
pie visit, and to see the grounds so much talk
ed Of by the court. Poor Hervard, proud Of
such an honor, conducted the CUES, first through
the chateau, then over the grounds. MazarIn
was loud in his admiration Of all the beauties
exhibited to him, and complimen,ed Hervard
most warmly upon the taste which had presided
over all the embellishments.
These grounds at last, said the cunning
prela,e. must have cost you at least twelve
hundred Thousand francs
.Ah, my lord exclaimed the minister Of T.
nance. Il am no, rich enough to have expended
such sum-
How much, then, did they cost you en-
gage thai it was at least two hundred thous-
and francs
Far from that, my lord
Then see that they must have cost YOU
one hundred thousand francs.
Your emnence has guessed right
Then am delighted, Mr.. Minister, said
Mazarin, for would not have yon lose by
bargain with his Majesty
Il do not understand your eminence,' cried
poor Hervard, beginning to be terribly fright
ened.
sWhy,' said Mazarin, the King wants
your chateau for the DUO d'Orleans.
But, my lord
sAh, come, come; it is agreed upon,' inter
rupted the cardinal. n n41eaA~ aft 1
The next day the court notary, bearer Of .
bill Of sale, al ready, presented himself to

DASGEKoUs.-The entire portion OF the
ledge upon which the observatory at Mag
ara Falls stands is cracked, and is coDsid-
cred by the residents there TO be in very
dangerous condition. The observatory is al
so crucked. The cavity has been carefully
filed with mortar, so that il might not bs
observed by visitors. No canton whatever
is taken upon Goat Island to prevent sIran-
gers from endaDgering their lives by crossing
the bridge 10 the observatory and ledge
The whole structure is liable at any time 10
be swept away by the awful rush Of waters.
In fact very little regard for the sacredness
oi life is observed upon any Of the grounds,
from the Falls TO the Whirlpool distance
orabout three mi.es-on either the Canadi-
an or American side. The only wonder IS
that more lives than are recorded are nos
lost there.

Tracking Footsteps.

Mr.. Verne gives some instances Of Ehs
extraordinary skill of the Turks in Eneing
animals and men by their footsteps. Ia
this manner, his servants tracked his eamels
to an Arab village, although the road had
been trampled by hundreds Of beasts Of the
same sort. There is something very curious
about This. 1t looks like new sense, or in
siinct. We copy Mr.. Werne's account ef
it,
:" lf these people have oncs seen the foot
print of man, camel, horse, or ass, they arc
sure 10 recognize it among the thousands Of
such impressions, and will follow the trail
al any distance, so long as the ground is toll
erably favorable, and wind or rain has not
obiirerated the marks. In cases OF loss, peo-
pie send for n man who makes this kind Of
search his profession ;bey show him foot
prin, OF The lost animal, and Immediately,
without asking other indication, he follows
The track through the streets of town, daily
trodden by thousands, and seldom fails to
hunt out The game. lie does not proceed
slowly OF stoop to examine the ground, bur
his sharp eye follows the trail at al run. We
ourselves saw The footsteps Of runaway
slave shown 10 one Of these men, who
caught the fugitive at the distance Of three
days journey from that spot My brother
once went out of the Bascha's house at
Chartum, 10 visit patient who lived far OF
in the town. He had been gone an hour
when the Bascha desired to see him, and
the tschausch (orderlyl traced him at once
by his footnarks on the unpaved streets, in
which crowds bad left similar signs. When,
in consequence Of my sickness. we fingered
for some days on the Attara, and then
marched TO overtake the army, the Scbaigies
who escorted us detected amidst the hoof-
marks of the seven or eight thousand dom
keys accompanying the troops, those Of a

From this time St. Cloud became celebrated
as the residence Of the kings AND princes Of
France. 1t was here that some Of the most
scandalous scenes of the life of the DUKE Of
Orleans were enacted. Il was here that Louis
-Ai' hrst knew and loved La vslliere and i,
was mere that the beautiful Henrietta d'Angle-

jealousy OF her husbands friends. MADAME. as
