A NovELIsT's MISTAKE CONCERNING THE
PASSION He INSPIRED IN A RUSSIAN PRINCESS.
A Russian Prince and Princess, who were in
Paris during last season and dazzled the weak
eyes OF the Parisians with their splendid way
of living, gave large dinner party, soon after
their arrival. They invited novelist, whose
tastes have often been admired. They did
not know him, except by reputation, nor did
he know them; still, the invitation was ac-
cspted. The literary man, who is as fond of
admiration as woman, soon took the floor
and kept 1t, for he is really charming talker.
The dinner over, both master and mistress
complimented him in the most hattering man
ner on his success, and repeated to him the
most delicate praises they had hoard their
with joy. AS he was going out Of the room,
tho Princess went up to him, expressed again
to him her profound admiration, and slipped
q sealed note into his hand.
"By Jove!' thought the literary man bow
ing profoundly to and looking tepderly at the
Princess. "My usual luck-she is dead in
love with mel Poor thing!' He put the let
ter in his pocket, and as he went home he
kept thinking: "Egads! these Russians have
taste Of the Great Catharine still in their
way VI nahipg loVe' HOW evluent u was 1
captivated her from the first! How she lis
tened to me Well, the little woman is rather
agreeable, is so-soish, III try her any how !"
By this time he had reached home, and after
he had taken off his coat he said: "Let's see
now how she writes" He carefully opened
the note and found bank note for five hun
dred francs Imagine his annoyance, vexa-
ton, humiliationl The Princess paid him as
she would have paid piano forte player. He
sent back the note in letter which he strove
to render ironical, but which he only succeeded
in making vexed.

CALCULATING CoNNUBrALIrY-A WoNAH WHO
Couldn't AFFORD TO DIE.-A person having
occasion to visit an old couple at Durham, Of
extremely penurious habits, found them hold
ing counsel together upon matter which ap-
parently weighed heavily on the minds Of
both, and thinking it was respecting the proba,
bic dissolution Of the wife, who was lying dan
gsrously i'll, proceeded to offer them all the
consolation In his power; but was cut short by
being informed that that was not exactly the
subject they were discussing, but one which
afflicted them still more deeply-viz., the cost
Of her funeralj and, to his astonishment, they
continued their ghastly calculations until
every item in the catalogue, from coffin to
night cap, had been gone through with much
grumbling at the rapacity Of "the under
takers, " when bright thought suddenly struck
the husband, and he exclaimed, Well, Janey,
lass, ye may not die after all, ye KEN"
"Deed, and I hope may not, Robert" !" replied
his helpmate, in low, feeble voice, "for am
quite sure that we Gamma afford it."-Smder-

RUSSIANS BuTCHERED AND Cut TO PIECES IN
JApAS.-A correspondent Of the London Tmes,
writing from the Bay Of Jeddo, gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the murder Of Russians
in Japan, heretofore briefly referred to in our
foreign advicss: -.. t.. .. s..l.. ..,
An officer, the steward, and ono Of the ssiers
ofthe Russian squadron were on shore in ia.
pansse settlement about eight clock in the
evening buying provisions; and as they turned
out Of the main street of booths or wooden
houses in this improvisioned settlement, the
man carrying bag of dollars, they were set
upon by number of armed Japanese-the
officer and sailor were nearly hacked to
pieces. ,.... . ...... .H
Tho steward, though, II is feared, mortally
wounded, still lives, having, after the first
wound, succeeded in rushing into a shop.
They were left in a pool of blood, the flesh
hanging in large masses from their bodies and
limbs. The sailor was cleft through bis skull
to the nostrils, half the scalp sliced down and
one arm nearly severed from the shoulder
through the joint. The officer was equally
manged, his lungs protruding from q sabre
cash across the body; the thighs and legs
deeply gashod. The rutiians, it appears, were
not content with simply killing and robbing,
but must have taken pleasure in cutting them
to pieces. All three, unfortunately, were un-
armed but numbers Of people were either in
sight or in close vicinity.

NovEL DRAMATIC EXHIBITION IN ARKANSAS.
They have very singular mode of doing
things In Arkansas, and the drama is no ex-
ception. At q recent performance in one of
the Red River counties, after the garden scene
betweena the lovers in The Lady of Lyons,
"Pauline" walks a tight rope and dances a
Highland Fling, and "Clauds" turns somerset
through two paper balloons, and swallows half
a-dozen forks, greatly to the delight of his
audience, who are 50 ardent in their admira-
tion that they carry him out of tho vacated
house, dignifed by the name of the theater,
and pour whisky anOugh down his throat to
keep him drunk for the next six weeks.

ENORMOUS MARINE LOSSES IN OoToBER.+The
Philadelphia Inquirer publishes an article
giving the marine disasters which bave
been reported as having occurred during
the month of October, in various parts
of the world, the value of which reaches the
enormous aggregate of $9,7OO,OOO, sum
greater than has been reported in any one
month for more than thirty years. This en-
braces but a small portion of the disasters
which are reported as occurring on the coast
of England during the gales Of 9th and 2Sth
Of October, when ninety.six vessels were to-
tally wrecked and Eve hundred and thirty
more or less damaged, involving loss Of
$6,OOO,OOO. Adding the value of these yes
sells and their csrgoes to the fearful amount
above stated, the destruction of property
would doubtless reach the sum of twelve mil
lions of dollars. aHt li. YuHi Ih

though the whole purchase money of Mount

the Southern matron, who is at the head Of
the association, hesitates about paying over
the last instalment and taking tho title, be-
cause she and her associate will then have the
whole responsibility aud charge Of keeping the
property In order and making the necessary
repairs, without any funds in hand for the
purpose. The ladies feel that the compara-
lively small amount needed for this purpose
ought to be expected from the rich, as tho

% Celebration of the Birthday Of the
:, KiDgsof Siam. \ sssss.s. li ~


The last advices from Siam give an account
Of the celebration of the birthday Of the Som
detch Phra, the principal Of tde two kings
Of that country. The foreign consuls were
invited to q dinner, at which the only other
guests were the highest aignitaries Of the
kingdom and the members Of the royal fam
lily. The dinner was prepared In "a splendid
hall, one side Of which was closed by- an i'm
mense aviary containing specimens Of the
most beautiful birds In al Asia, and on the
other side by gold lattics-work, which separ-
ated the hall from . spacious court, occupied
by dexterous jugglers and number Of ele-
plants, which performed, under the direction
OF their keepers, the most extraordinary ex-
ercises and menauvres. ''tr aadl 71'fHm.
The King, who did not sit at the table,
made his appearance about the middle of the
repast on an estrade prepared for him. The
musicians, at his majesty's entrance, played
several national airs, after which the grand
ofiicers Of the palace, as q compliment to the
consuls, unfurled number Of silk banners,
on one Of which was the inscription in ST.
amese, "Glory and friendship TO Francel'' on
another, "Glory and friendship To EngIandp'
and the same for all the other powers
whose agents were present. The king then
retired, but In obedience TO his commands, at
tho termination Of the FEAST mandarin CON
Quoted the copsuls to tho great pagoda of the
palace, an edifce which strangers are very
seldom allowed to visit.
This pagoda, the finest in the kingdom, was
built by Phra Ma Rhais In 1875. Il contains
numberless ornaments, colossal golden idols,
and the great golden dragon, which is about
SIX feet long, and has eyes formed of huge dia-
monds, while Its scales are represented by pre-
cious stones Of immense value. During the
whole evening there was continuous display
of fireworks in the Siamese manner, gener-
ally consisting of fiery dragons, eagles and
horses, which fly through the air, and produce
a very singular effect. On the following day
the two kings reviewed the troops, in which
Europeans were allowed to join. The boat Of
a French ship carried off the prize, consisting
of a,quantty Of fruit, vegetables, poultry and
cattle.

SUPERSTITION AND OPPRESSION IN JAPAN,
We find, says the Rev. DR.. jenkins, in let
ter from Shanghai, on the Japanese Empire,
most perfectsystem Of espionage exercised by an
almost omniscient government Z and il there
be one subject iiore than another which they
are averse to have brought before their people,
1t s the subject of Christianity. 7 am in
formed that, until within few years past, the
Dutch, who alone we're permitted among
Western nations to hold any commercial in
tercoprse with Japan, were required, on the
only day in the year that they were permitted
to 60 through the streets Of Nagasaki, to
trample publicly on the cross as an evidence
Of their hatred Of that symbol.
| Of all the governments of the far East, that
of Japan Is probably the most perfect in its
entire control Of the people, who have scarcely
| any rights of their own. For instance, at the
present day, . Japanese has no liberty to de-
part the country, and no liberty to believe In
Christianity, and no liberty to read the Scrip.
lures Of DivEe truth, which cal, alone make
him wiso unto oalvaton. When I was in Ne
gasaki, a womanSwas in prison awaiting the
order from Yeddo for her execution, because
she had dared to accompany Frenchman to
China, and return 10 Japan. gBuHlf 10 !.
AS specimen Of the surveillance exercised
over foreigners in Japan, I would mention that
a day or two before left, Mr.. Liggins, the
Episcopal missionary, attempted TO purchase
several books at a public bookstore, rendering
the full price for each, but the only one they
would permit him 10 take away, Z was q small
blank book They had undoubtedly been for
bidden to sell any books to foreigners--and If
so, the penalty would have been decspitation
or garroting. The Governor of Negasaki re-
quires TO examine every book previous to Civ
ing permit for It's Importation; and this they
do to prevent the introduction Of Christianity.
