accomplished French lady, named Adele 3.
Mason, committed suicide on MonGay night,
at her residence, No. l56 ST. Louis street, by
taking laudanum. An inquest was held yesteI-

Mrs. Masson had been married 10 her husband
IN France, about two years since, and came TO

selves in absolute neglect and insult, and about
two weeks ago he left Ter France, having pre-
viously declared that he should never return.
The poor wife, who was tend,ry attached 10
him, took his desertion very mach TO heart, and

the company of three young ladies al her ac-

A S1GHT OF GREAT MAN.-Goethe, like
many other celebrated men, was somewhat
annoyed by the visits Of strangers. A student
once called at his house and requested to See
him. Goethe, contrary 10 his usual custom,
consented to be seen and, after the student had
waited short time in the ante-chaulber, he
appeared, and without speaking, took a chair,
and seated himself in the middle of the room.
The student far fIom bring embarrassed by this
proceeding, took lighted wax can-
die in his hand, and walking round the poet,
viewed him on all sides then,
setting down the candle, he drew out his purse,
and taking from il small piece of silver, put
il on the table, and went away without speak
ing word.
