Fun and Fancy.
A Good One.

A Boston lady who had a somewhat
Bacchanian spouse, resolved to frighten
him into temperance. She therefore en-
gagged a watchmanfor a stipulated reward
to carry 'Philander' to the watchhouse,
while yet IN a state of insensibility and
to frighten him a little when he reco-
vered.
II consequence of this arrangement he
was walked up about eleven o'clock at
night and found himself lying on pine
bench In q strange and dim apartment.
Raising himself on his elbow he looked
around until his eyes rested on a man
sitting by a stove and smoking a cigar.
Where am | 2 asked Philander.
Ina medical colleger said the cigar
smoker.
What a doing there?'
Going to be cut upn
Cut up how comes that?'
why, you died yesterday while you
were drunk, and we have brought your
body here to make a 'natomy.'
Its a lie-I amt dead =
No matter; we bought your carcass
any how from your wife, who had a right
to sell it, for it'sall the good she could
ever make out of you. If you're not
dead, it's no fault of the doctors, and they
will cut you up dead or alive
You will do it, chg asked the old sot.
To be sure we will-now-immedia,

Wall, look o'here, can't you let us
have something to drink before you be-
gin!'

TRAVELS IN zIG-ZAe.

TRAVELS IN LlG-LAGs
Certain objects of toilette have no va
lue in the Temple, black coat for IN
stance; because It is very seldom asked
for by persons of the worling-class. A
very nice black coat can easily be obtain
ed for eighty cents and evenless.
The old mother Coupry-agood woman
always found on her stool in the Carreau
has the speciality Of white vests. Ten
cents is their usual price
The actors very well know the stall Of
Lelievre, in which persons are crowded
like sardines in their cans. The wig va
ries from one to twenty dollars.
A new corset is worth between thirty
and forty cents.
Women stockings are generally sold at
fifteen, twelve and even SIX cents a pair.
Those prices, thrown at random, prove
the cheapness of articles in this grotesque
Partisan bazar. But side by side with
the calico dress of fifteen cents is found
the silk dress worth forty dollars, laces
Of two hundred dollars, and the Cashmere
shawl, representing several thousand
francs.
Step in the stall of Wall to buy mo-
dest pair of curtains worth one dollar,
and he will accompany YOU through his
vast stores of Dupetit-Thouars street, In
which, your means permitting, you can
expend ten or twelve thousand dollars In
a very short time. l wish you could.
There you would see all that luxury has
given birth to !; the most splendid clocks,
Sumptuous carpets, enormous mirrors, and
the finest furniture. The major part of
the furniture coming from the sale of the
chateaux belonging to the Orleans family
was bought by Wall.
The Temple has its matadores; Wall,
the upholster, ranking first among them;
and then Servieres the tailor. The latter
employs a hundred hands, occupies SIX
stands on the market, buys ten or fifteen
thousand dollars worth of cloth al once,
and furnishes almost every one of his fel-
low-dealers with ready-made clothing.
There are also Beaumont, a wholesale
dealer in useful articles to travellers,
Madame GilIet, Damar, Lebel, and Be
guin, merchants of ribbons, shawls, laces,
&C.; the latter occupying alone seventeen
stands, he is the last grand monopolizer.
Again, there are Desn-azures, among
the merchants of family utensils; Adenet
the prominent shoemaker, Nody, dealer
IN watchmakers and cabinet-makers tools,
and Madame Letellier, an artificial flow
er dealer of whom the actresses aclnow-
ledge the elegance and good taste.

THE RoToSDE.

The Rotonde is a large oval building,
ornamented with pillars. Iti veritable
barrack, with twelve staircases, and con-
tanning more than one thousand tenants,
mostly shoemakers, eobblers, and taiIors.
There dweIls the high-priests of the
god Occasion. Almost every shop bears
this inscription, "Make expeditions In the
provinces and In foreign countries" The
SIGN does not lie. Such a merchant, Mr.
Giroux, for instance, furnishes the na-
tional guards uniforms In a great many
small localities of France. He carries Oh
an extensive business, gives enormous
credits, and Is not afraid of any rival in
his line. 1t was the merchants Of the
Rotonde who furnished Don Pedro, Don
Miguel and other Spanish pretenders
with the uniforms of their troops.

SoulouqUe had favored the Temple
with the entire equipment Of battalion of
his imperial guard. He was furnished
Immediately with blue coats with white
plastrons, white trOwsers, spatterdashes,
and shakos ornamented with feathers and
copper plates, according to the ordnance
regulating the uniform of the first impe-

This uniform obtained marked success
at the black court of Faustin the First.
Without losing time a grand review of
the troops was prepared, and several
French dignitaries, who happened to ira

the new uniform of Soulouque's soldiers.
The review begins, the troops com

from the state Of single blessedness, |
wished her a pleasant voyage down the
river of life. She said she hoped so, but
she heard there was great deal of fever
on the river now-she hoped they wouldn't
catch It on the way down.

A lawyer, not over young nor hand
some, examining a young lady witness in
court, determined to perplex her, and said
upon my word, you are very
prettyn The young lady very promptly
replied: 4 would return the compliment,
sir, if I were not on cath.
