Funny AND FRENCH-A married cou-
pie, says the Gdcefta des Tri6,nlaur, after
living together on bad terms for some
time, resolved, a few days ago, to sepa-
rate. They sold off all their furniture
but, finding that the sum it realised was
not very important, tl.ey proposed to COM
NIT suicide, and they went to the Canal
St. Martin, TO execute their design.
The husband leaped in first, but after
awhile, being capital swimmer, he rails
ed his head above water, and perceived
his wife standing quietly on the bank,
watching him. He began abusing her,
and said according to their conventions
she ought to drown herself Instead,
however of complying, she accused him
of intending to let her drown, whilst he
saved himself by swimming. He called
upon her to plunge in at once, without
any more talk-but she refused. There
upon, he got out of the water and gave
her tremendous thrashing. Some per-
sons who came up went to seek for the
guard, and the loving pair were arrested.
On being arrested they made the facts
known.

AMERICAN NAVIGATION OF THE AMAZON.
Major Bennett, who was appointed by
President Pierce, Z. S. Consul to Bahia
Brazil, has returned to the United States,
the fees not being sufficient to support
the consulate. He has succeeded. how
ever, in an important matter, which is
thus stated in the New York Courier oad
Enquirer:
1--WE are happy to announce that ow-
ing to his energy and tact, he has OBJ
tanned from the Brazilian government a
treaty comforting upon American citizens
full and free right to navigate the Amazon
within the territories of Brazil. As Peru
has already conferred the same right, the
navigation of that magnificent river, from
its source to its mouth, is now open to
the enterprise of our countrymcn.

money brokers lay the story we'll to
heart. The truth is not to be doubted.
The very hole under the oak trees, from
whence he dug Kidd's money, is to be
seen to this day, and the neighboring
swamp and the old Indian fort is often
haunted in stormy nights by figure on
horseback, in morning gown and white
cap, which is doubtless the troubled
spirit of the usurer. In fact, the story
has resolved itself into proverb and is
the origin of the popular saying preva-

since, by some accident, he received a

no attention to it; but getting cold in it,
inflammation took place, producing lock-
jaw, which resulted in death.
