A PARIS DINNER.-Rich dinners are
"got up" in Paris-richer, perhaps, than
1ny where else. A Paris correspondent
of late date, says:
q AT dinner given a few days since
by one of the rich financiers of Paris, the
forks and spoons were gold, withthe arms
of the family in enamel upon them, while
the plates and dishes of the metal had the
arms set in mosaic of precious stones.
This appears to me carrying luxury lit
tie too far; brilliant jewels glittering on
fair arm, or adding to the lustre of
beautiful hair are appropriate at times,
but to degrade them to being dimmed by
soup or to lie concealed and blush unseen
under the weight of q hundred fantastic
dishes, is anything but an additional
charm to a dinner. Perhaps, however,
eachiperson was allowed on arriving at
the bottom of his plate, to bear of such
stones as the hot meats might have un-
soldered-tha would indeed be worth
while, were not the guests rich enough to
disdsan such small appropriation. For
myself, should rather like the old beg
gar in the fable. take little cold water,
little salt and pepper, and eat my stone
L soup with q satisfied appetite and full
view Of the valuable pebbles shining BE-

ANOTHER PARKMAN CAsE.-On Satur-
day, man named Alexander, an old
soldier of the list regiment, was arrested
and committed to Jail, to take his trial,
charged with the murder of his wife. 1t
appears that the woman, supposed to be
deceased, had been missed by the neigh
bors for some FIVE weeks, and that her
disappearance had not been accounted
for by her husband. They, therefore
began to entertain suspicious, which they
communicated to Colonel Ermatinger,
who caused the prisoner to be arrested,
as We have stated. On Sunday, the Col.
onel went to the house of the accused,
and there took possession of certain arti-
cles which he supposed calculated tc
make proof on the trial. There will bt
an inquest to-day on what is supposed
to be the remains of the woman, whose
body is believed to have been burned,
after her murder, in the stove.-Montreal

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU WRITE YOUR
NAME.-A gentleman, member of W hole
sale house down town recently called at
one of our Banks to pay note of 50 1000,
as due that day. Having money on de-
post to pay it, he stepped up to the desk
and filled check for the amount. But
finding his signature little imperfect, he
pushed aside the check and filled another
for the same amount, presented it, re-
ceived his note of $1,000, and retired
to his counting house. Presently one of
the officials at the Bank stepped in and
inquired. Mr.. --, how many checks
for $1,000 have you drawn to-day ?''
q One is the ready response 4 took
up note of $4,000, with 4 "check. ="
" Well, sir, there have been two checks
for $4,000, drawn by you, presented at
the Bank AS if flash of lightning
had shed light on his mind, he remem-
bered his check, rejected in consequence
of slight defect, which he had neglected
to tear up and had left on the desk
Some person, it seems, found the check
there and procured boy TO present it.
The paying teller, suspicious that all was
not right, either from the fact of having
just paid one for that amount, or the i'm
perfection of the signature which led the
drawer to reject it and write another,
showed it to the officers who also did not
like the looks of things. The teller then
turned to the boy and eyeing him pretty
sharply, asked him where he got the
check when the boy instantly fed and
has not since been seen.-N. Y. Tribune.

PLAIN TALK TO THE SAINTS.-It appears
that the Mormons at Salt Lake have got
so well to do in the world that the In
dians frequently lay them under contri-
bution-an operation particularly trying
to Saints as well as sinners. So persist
ent in their calls have the Indians become,
that the head of the Norman tribe, Brig
ham Young, has got his back up. In an
address intended for the Indians and the
Mormons, he proceeds in this style:
g say to the Indians, as [ have often
said to the mob, 60 your length. You
say you are going to obliterate the Latter
Day Saints, and wipe them from the
earth. Why don't you do it, YOU poor
miserable curses The mob only had
power to drive them to their duty, and to
remember the Lord their God, and that is
all the Indians can do. This people are
worldly minded they want to get rich
in worldly substance, and are apt to for
get their God, the pit from which they
were hewn, every man turning his own
way. Seemingly the Lord is Christening
us, until we turn and do his will. What
are you willing to do? Would you be
willing to build fort and all go in it and
live2 | tell you, you would have hell
of your own, and devils enough to carry
it on. DO you suppose you will ever see
the time you will do that and live at
peace with each other, and have the spirit
of the Lord enough to look each other in
the face and say, witha heart full ofkind-
ness, Good morning, Mary or, How do
you do, Maria e You will be whipped
until you have the spirit of the Lord Je-
sus Christ sufficiently to love your breth-
rem and sisters, freely, men, women and
children"
