FRANKLIN AT THE FRENCH
COURT,

One of the most pleasing scenes in
American history is the picture of Frank
lin at tie Court of France, in his blue
yarn stockings and stout shoes, and yet,
with his simple dignity, commanding the
reverence and respect of the bedizened
crowd of courtiers and mobiles. A cor
respondent of the Boston Transcript thus
describes tbs sceIe. The kissing Of the
Queen is an incident new TO us.
"Franklin, understand, was dressed
in second rate hOmespun, yarn stock
ings, substantial shoes, and his hair of
its native color: not at all conscious of
any inferiority, however, but with that
self-possession which is the distinguish
ing trait of we'll bred people everywhere.
His native dignity was his sole decorum.
As stranger he must have observed
a common practice in France, OF kissing
even in the streets, and other places
when friends meet after a short or long
absence, without regard to the sex
This kissing, however, is no more than
our shaking hands. and is performed by
applying one cheek to another-ouce,
twice, or more, according TO the iniims-
cy and feelings. 1t may be called cheek
by-jowling. Franklin may not have Oh
served minutely the nlodas operandi in
this practice. but have thought that a
kiss was kiss, or not thought at all a.
bout il.
1t is said that he was reminded by one
of the dignitaries of the court that when
he was presented he must kiss the Queen,
who it was also said was very kissable
woman. The Queen approached fsmil'
iarly and very near--probably impelled
by curiosity to see well this handsome
savage. Franklin. remembering his les
son, without reluctance put it in practice,
in the only way he had ever beer
taught 10 kiss, and gave the Queen &
mighty Yankee buss on the lips, TO tht
great amzement and horri6cation Of the
old maids, but to the amusement Of al
others, especially the King, who was
delighted with his savage simplicity, and
it is said that he cried out, Encore Biz,
Da ecppo.' or DO it again"
Another correspondent Of the Tran
script communicates the following from
the Memories Secrets de Marie Anto
netle par Madame Ccmpan:-
"Dr. Franklin appeared at court il
. the costume of an American cultivator;
with his hair plainly brushed without
powder; his round hat and plain coat OI
brown cloth contrasted strongly with the
powdered eaifares and the bespangleC
and embroidered coats of the perfnmet

FEMALE IN A FIx.-At Geddes, near Syracuse.
lately,a female who resides there, partly in sport
sprang into one of the leaky fsherman's boats that
lie along the margin of the lake, land while she was
padding around in the shallow water, the pad
die stuck fast in the mud and slipped from her
hands. A fresh breeze was blowing off shore at
the time, and in a few moments the skff and wo-
man were drifting out into the lake. She had
lost her only paddle and the boat was crazy
thing leaking badly, and the woman became
alarmed.
Seeing herself fast receding from the shore,
with no chance of getting back, she began to
scream as only female can scream, and the
people of Geddes rushed in crowds to the wa
ter's edge to learn what was the matter, but no
one could render her any assistance. Finally
another skif was procured and a young man
started after the runaway boat, and after short
chase Its occupant was brought safely to the
shore and delivered safely into the hands of her
relatives. She s'allows'' that she will not get
into such scrape again.

The tone Of almost all preaching is too abb

with general ideas and principles, and decends
too little to those details in which the mind of
the audience are wrapt up. The preachers
speaks in language not understood of the
people-a language made Of texts OF scripture
Of scraps from our old dIvines, and technical
terms OF controversy making altogether spe-
cies of theological slang which is full Of bad
taste and bad English"
