about midnight. On leaving the train, he
secured the services of hackman, and di-
rected him to drive to the United States Ho-
tel. Jarvey seized his valise, packed his
passenger into the coach with unusual alac-
rity, and leaped upon his box, cracked his
whip, and rattled off through the almost de.
serted streets at spanking rate Away
they went, mp one street and down another

"A PARIsIAN QUACK.-At the theater O.
the Varieties there is an actress, one of tn,
best IN Paris, who has the misfortune to b.
exceedingly, deplorably thin-we might
almost say scrawny. A short time since
she heard of a doctor, who, it was said,
had succeeded in manufacturing a mineral
water which had the power to make people
grow fat. She went to him instanter.
Doctor, said she. what must do to get
fat +?
Take my waters.
And 1 shall get fat ?
Immediately.
The thin actress plunged into the doc
tors bsth. and drank the water early and
late. Three months passed away and she
grew no fatter. At last she called the doc
tor and said
Doctor, don't grow fat.
Wait little while, replied the doctor.
Will it be long?
Fifteen days at the farthest. You see
that big fat woman walking in the garden.
When she first came here, she was perhaps
thinner than YOU
What ! may hope!
Fifteen days at most, said the doctor.
Two more months passed the actress
grew thinner. One day as she was taking
her warm mineral bath. she heard dispute
going on in the bathing room next to her
own.
Decidedly, Doctor, said the big fat wo-
man, above introduced, decidedly, doctor.

ties, whose excessive fat forced her to alb
