CUEIoUs DEvIcE.-lhe Episcopal Church
OF St. Paul, in New Haven, Conn, has in
one Of its towers two stones cut into forms
of the ace Of clubs aud ace of diamonds
devices taken from pack OF cards. The
explanation given is this: the architect first
employed in the erection Of the building
was Deist, and a man of bitter cynical
spirit BY way of burlesque, he resolved
To cut the stones for the structure into such
figures that huge pack of cards might
appear flaming out at the sides of the sa
cred structure. BY means Of scalToldng
and other concealmeuts he veiled his de
sign from the building committee till the
walls were nearly carried up, and his prac.
teal joke nearly played oil. The dscove.
~ was at last made, aaG the whole slruc
ture, Of course, taken down. In the course

BRILLIANT TO THE LAsT.-A gentleman
writing from Paris states that NJ. Place,
the French banker, who recently failed for
the immense amount Of sixteen million
francs, gave, on the evening before the
grand catastrophe, splendid dinner, to
which were invited all the celebrities Of
certain grade upon the Bourse, together
with an equal number OF ladies'. The feast
was of the most recherche kind-the cost
probably being not less than twenty five
dollars head; and the buoyant spirits of
the liberal host were the theme Of general
admiration. When tue enthusiasm was at
its height magnificent dessert was placed
upon the table, having in the centre a vase
Of silver gilt, which M. Place ordered the
waiter 10 pass round to the ladies, as it con.
tanned few nuts for their especial cracking.
Every lady then plunged her hand within
the vase, aud drew forth whatever chance
bestowed in the shape of some rare jewel,
the cheapest Of which could not have been
worth less than sixty dollars, while some Of
them were OF great prizes. After this de-
lightful ceremony the generous host took
his leave amid the reiterated applause Of
his guests. The next day his house was ST.
lent ard deserted. and defalcation Of six
teen millions was announced before the tri-
bunal of commerce.
