New York Times furnishes the following
information respecting the sensation Mr..

dcmnatory of that gentleman S torch light
and brass band speech in New York The
writer says that the most extraordinary
efforts are made by the Spanish editors to
induce Government not to receive Mr..
Soule. One of the papers of Madrid pub
fishes sketch of the personal appearance
of this terrible Minister. According to
this he is man of about fifty years of
age, with beard hanging down to his
waist-his costume is that of hunter and
trapper; he never quits his rife, and
pouches Of powder and ball hang from a
belt of undreSsed leather. lie has killed
many Huron and even Mohican, in the
days when there were more than onc-the

has often graced his loins with the scalps
of his fallen enemies. He tattooes him.

introduced into the Kentucky Legislature,
which provides "that the keeper of the
Penitentiary shall procure suitable

Alas how everything has changed
Slnca Was sweet sixteen,
When all the girls wore homespun frorks,
Ana aprons nice and clean;
Win nonnets made Of braided straw,

And fhswls laid neatly on the neck,
AND fastened with pin.

Across the meadows, rock and field,
And up and down the hill,
Anu When our folks were out at work.
AS sure as I'm a sinner,
jumped upon Il horse. bare back,
And Carried them their dinner.
Dear me. young ladies. nowadays,
Would almost fsint away,

In wagon, chaise, or sleigh;
And Us for giving "Pa" his meals,
Or helping Ma to bake,
Oh, saints. '.wouid rpcil their lilly hands,
Though sometimes they make cake.
When winter came the maiden's heart
Began to br,t and futter.
Each beau would take his sweetheart out
Sleigh-riding in a cutter.
Or If the storm WAS bleak and cold,
The girls and beaux together
Would mret ami have most glorious fun,
And never mind the weather.
But uow, in'leeI, it grieyes me much
The circum tance TO mention,

But such Il war is waged.
And if he sees her once a week,
Why surely They're engaged"

Story Of an Intrepid Chambermaid.

Gdignani's Messenger, French paper
tells the following curious story. An
nette, young chambermaid of Marine,
had kept the rooms of two wealthy bach
elors for several years. She wanted to
get married, but her lover was so poor
that they burst not venture These bach
elors were brothers, and one day they had
sold some property which they owned
Jointly, and the money, amounting TO
100000 francs, was all in bills of the
Bank of France, too late 10 take it to Par.
is that afternoon.
At midnight great noise was heard in
the house. Annette ran and raped at
her masters door, saying that robbers
were at work below. You have gun, :"
says she, (. take it and shoot the villain ~
Both the bachelors were much frightened
One began to barricade the door, while
the other removed tile from the hearth
to secret the bank bills. Fools" said
the girl, - they will murder us all-give
ME the gum She seized double bar
relied gun which laid upon shelf, and
started down stairs, the two frightened
men watching her movements without
saying word. Presently bang went the
gun, and groan was heard-bang went
the second barrel, and now Screech of
pain reSounded through the house
Annette soon came tripping up the
stairs, and asked for powder and ball to
reload. The astonished bachelors gave
her requisite charges, hnt soon steps were
heard retreating from the house. All three
then went cautiously down stairs, when
10 pool of blood clearly showed that
one robber at least had paid the penalty
of his rash attempt. In the morning it
was plain 20 be seen that the body of the
victim had been dragged by his compan-
ions to the river. Blood marked the
whole distance, and the police were in
stantly on the alert for the arrest of the
living thieves, and the discovery of the
body of the dead one. All was vain, how
ever but the intrepidity of the poor girl
was discussed far and near.
The grateful bachelors, knowing that
Annette wanted to marry, prepared to
give her dover. "Ah, Monsieurs, re-
piled she, " how can | leave you ?-you
may again be attacked by robbers. -
9: But we will not, nevertheless, stand be-
tween you and happiness-here are thirty
thousand francs-you have saved our
lives, and have richly deserved the money
If you choose to live in this house with
your husband, we shall repair the lower
part for that purpose, and you can then
be paid for keeping our rooms neatly as
at present." Annette did not hesitate to
accept the dover and the house.
1t was many years before the real facts
relative to this midnight attack ofrobbers
came to light. The rich bachelors were
then both dead, and had willed Annette
another thirty thousand francs. The
robbers. it seems, were not of plural num-
Der, but only Annette's lover alone. The
blood was from lamb, that had been
killed for the occasion. Indeed, the whole
was but ruse by the two lovers to open
the hearts and the purses of the rich bach
