20 Mrs. - from lady in London, who had
often dined with Miss Gylcs, Cher real name and
the one she gives at the hotels and shops declares
that, instead Of being ugly and forty-ive, she is
very pretty and twenty-five. These newly-invented
masks are said to be very deceptive and, with bon
net and curls or flowers, they would pass as real
faces to all but the initiated Still al our beaux
who went round the lobby to look at Miss Coutts,
declared she was most unnatural looking creature,
and tho false hair, powder and rouge have all gone
for their fair value. Some sympathy has been felt
for her since Mario kicked away her bouquet which
she threw to him on the stage the other evening.

ture Of hell. made by Father WMworth
a week or two since, says.
The temperature of hell has exercised
the specnlations Of very many divines

Burehard once passing through fur

and gazed into the white heat Of the
melted iron. Said he, in bis deep,
solemn, musical voice "Do you wish
to know how hot hell is ? LII tell you.
