Legislature, praying for the aboli ton of the Char

an end to the rascalities and rogueres hatched in

A LEGLEss LoRD.-The following story waich we
have from New York friend recently from Paris,
is none the worse for being true:
"Lord Cowley, the British Minister in Paris, has
occasional annoyances. Lord Mtoun "a gentle
man whom Nature failed to provide with legs, }
wished to be present at Court with his wife and
daughter The morning of the day on which the
presentation was to take place, the Emperor sent
word to Lord Cowley that he could not receive
Lord Miltoun, as he heard he had no legs and that
he must sit while the Emperor stood Lord Cow
ley much vexed, but sent an attache to convey
the disagreeabe to Lord Miltoun. Mean
while the Duke de Bassano himself to Lord
COwley to tell him that Lord Miltoun's chair had
arrived at the Tuileries; that it must be instantly
taken away, and that its legless could not be
received. This rather mOrtifying to the Brit
ish Minister, but the Emperor was infexible. IN

moving paddle-whee, which he nstinctively took
hold upon, and with so firm grasp that he was
dashed through the water and lifted out again upon
the other side and by almost miracle he was car

The st. Louis Republican says: We have been
shown letter from the supern tendent in charge of
the Furnaces at the Iron Mountain, to the proprie-
tors IN this city, conveying the very important and
gratifying intelligence of the complete success of
the trial now being made in one of their furnaces
to smelt the ores of that vast deposit, with the
raw bituminous Goals which surround our city, and
which have heretofore been generally supposed by
Iron masters to be entirely impractibe.
The result may be looked upon as opening new
era in the iron manufacture in Missouri and promi-
ses results to the Iron Mountain Railroad of the
highest import.
One of the consequences which will naturally fol-
low the success of this experiment, will be the cree
tion of rail mills and nail factories, by which the
iron produced will be consumed and sent away to
supply the wants of the valley of the Mississippi
and to draw to Missouri the immense sums of money
which are annually expended in the purchase of
these articles.

There few literary callings in Paris so 1ucra-
tive as that OF writer-a successful writer that is
for the stage. Two or three pieces, of no verv
remarkable talents, have lately had great run IN
this city. One is called Faust certainly not very
novel subject. Nevertheless, the theatre of the
Porte st. Martin has paid its author in three
months, $4,000 francs his share Of the receipts
For another piece called the Piiulcs du DuJle, the
author received in one month 0,737 francs. For a
third played at the Varieties, and called the Bibe-
lots a" Diabe or "The Devils Chattels" the author
netted in three months % 1873 francs That these
"dabOlical' productions are not of a very elevated
style of composition, may be judged by their titles
They are, in fact only amusing bufooneries clever
ly strung together for stage effect and scenery
And yet man of talent might write Legitimate
drama" half his life time, before he earned as much
as Is paid for single one of these ephemeral pro-
ductions. Even the Roman d'un jeune homnae, by
NJ. Actean Feuiet which has probably long ere
this reached your shores, has produced for the
author, in dramatic Orm less than ii 900 francs

haps, was time when dramatic performances and

run after by the Partisan public, as at the present

The New BELGIAN MINISTER.-We understand
that Mr.. Edward Blondeel de Curlenbroek, whose
appointment Minister Resident of Belgium in the
United States, was announced more than year
ago. will shortly leave Brussels for Washington. 1t
Is rumored in diplomatic circles, that NJ. Blondeel
will obtain the rank of an Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister PlenipOtentiary before his departure
and that he will be entrusted with some very i'm
portant negotiations with our Government relative
to the commercial relations of the United States
and Belgium.
Mr.. Blondeel represented Belgium at the Court
of the Sultan from lS49 to the close of 1857, and
owing to his alleged interference in the elections of
the Danubian provinces, dismissed from Con-
stantn0ple by the Porte, at the nstigation of Aus
tria and England. When the rupture of diplomatic
relations between Turkey and Belgium caused by
this dispute, was repaired the Sultan made his
peace with NJ. Blondee and besides giving him the
badge OF an order of Turkish chivalry, presented
him with tobacco box encrusted with diamonds,
worth $4,000 francs
