Egave on the evening before the grand catastro-
Iphe, splendid dinner, to which were invited
jail the celebrities of a certain grade upon the
BOswse, together with an equal number Of
ladies. The feast was of the most reckerchs
kind-the cost probably being not less than
$25 head, and the buoyant spirits of the
liberal host were the theme of general admira-
ton. When the enthusiasm was at its hight
la magnificent dessert was placed upon the
table, having in the centre vase of silver gilt,
which M. Place ordered the waiter to pass
round to the ladies, as it contained few nuts
for their especial cracking. Every lady then
plunged her hand within the vase and drew
forth whatever chance bestowed in the shape
of some rare jewel, the cheapest of which could
not have been worth less than $50, while some,
of them were of great price. After this de-
lightful ceremony the generous host took his
leave amid the reiterated applause of his guests.
The next day his house was silent and desert
ed, and deialcation of sixteen millions was
announced before the tribunal of commerce.

A SINGULAR FAscINATIoN.-An English pa
per relates the following unaceountable occur
renee:
"One of the most singular instances in con-
inection with material things, exists in the case
OF a young man who, not very long ago, visited
Ia large iron mandatory. He stood opposite
Ia large hammer and watched with great inter-
est its perfectly regular strokes. At first it
was beating immense Jumps of crimson metal
into thin black sheets; but the supply becom-
ing exhausted, at length it only descended on
the polished anvil. Still the young man gazed
Iintently on its motion; then he followed its
strokes with a corresponding motion Of his
head; then his left arm moved to the same tme
tune; and finally, he deliberately placed his
fist upon the anvil, and in a second it was
smitten to jelly. The only explanation he
could afford was that he felt an impulse to do
lit, that he knew he should be disabled; that
he saw all the consequences in a misty kind
of manner; but that he still felt the power
within above sense and reason-a morbid inn
pulse, in fact, to which he succumbed, and by
which he lost good right hand" fe1
