AS Joseph H., Emperor Of Austria, was
driving his one-horse cabriolet, dressed in the
garb of private citizen, he was accosted
by a soldier, who mistaking him for man
of the middle class, requested a scat in the
vehicle.
"Willinsly," replied the Emperor; 'iump

The soldier was soon seated alongside of
the Emperor, and became very Ioquacious.

TIE SECRET POLICE OF PARIS

Three days ago, says a correspondent VIII
ling from Paris, whilst walking in the Ron de
Rvoli with friend, my attention was called
by The latter gentleman who was walking
esurely some PAGES before US. "Do you
know who he is I" was the question put to
me; and 10 my negative reply, 'lf you have

THE CARNIVAL OF ADJFCTfvEs.

Foremost among the freaks OF language is
the caperns Of adjectives. They skip and
oouEd and snrge and roar in such various
ways, and with such grotesque effect, as to
keep up a constant carnival. Not upfreauenl-
ly they are made to confound qusllies, ap-
pearances and senses, as in the case OF the
old lady who said that she loved oysters be-
cause they left "a pretty taste in her mouth, )"
and who insisted moreover that she hated
"an ugly smell" and was very fond OF
handsome music.' Sometimes those which
properly relate 10 size or form are applied
anonymously 10 mental efforts, such as ga
tall speech, YEA brg Sermon" ""a FAT thought"
"a huge argument" Al other times they
are tumbled together with signrficaiions SO
nearly synonymous as 10 render language

finest adjsctives in the yerndcular, rollick
about wEh sad company "a magnificent
pig" "a superb shad, "''a splendid cal, !" and
the like, are examples of the free compan-
ioGship. 0u the other hand those which are

found in the company Of extraordinary thiuss,
affording literal but not philosophical full
