An Eccentric Character.

Mons. BRIzzi, ono Of the most ceIe.
brated singers Of tho Theater Italien
In Paris, lately died in Mouaco, at II
very advanced ago. lilo was not more
famous for his talent than for the pocu.
liaritios Of his character. The follow.
ing anecdotes concerning him arc not
generally known -
Ono day a country musician, who had
pesterId him great deal on several oc.
casions, called ~ his house.
"Tell him that am in bed, said
Brizzi to his servant.
"Sir," replied his valet, after having
obeyed bis orders, "thc gentleman says
he will stop till you get up"
Tell him that am very Ill, then"
If you please, sir, ho says he knows
two or three oxc ,llent remedies that
will do you deal OF good"
"Toll him that | ara ut tho last gasp,
and have no chance of recovery"
"He says that, ii that is tho case, sir,
he cannot think of your dying without
his taking leave OF sou"
"Say | am already dead"
IF you please, sir hc says he should
like to sprinLe ;ynny corpse with holy
water"
"In that cese" said Brizzi, whose
stock Of excuses was exhausted, "lei
him come in"
One evening, as he was playing pi
quet with an individual Of the name ol
Gousant, who was celebrated for hi
stupidity, Brizzi made fault. He in
stantIy perceived ii, however, and ex
claimed
Ah how Goxsanr I am T.
Sir" said Gousant ''you are fool.
"Did I not say 80 ?" asked Brizzi.
"No."
"Well, if / did not, meant to do so
One morning. as he was dressing
there were great many persons, Al
usual, in his room. Suddenly, he mis-
sed very valuable watch, and com
planned OF the loss. One Of those pres
ent Immediately cried out
"Shut the doors, and let every one b,
searched"
"On tho contrary" replied Brizgi, "a
| do not wish to know the thief, / BET
that you will all quit the room. Tn
watch is a repeater, and if it happene'
to strike, il would expose him."
Brizzi was generous to excess. H
used actually to be obliged to give hi
servant his money to keep for him, il
order to preserve it from the numerou
sharpers by whom he was almost al
ways surrounded.
"Here, Joseph, " said he, one day, pul
ling a handful of gold out of his pock
ct, take care Of that for me-"
