A Parisinn Incident.

! TnE Countess Y was most pleasantly
employed in her boudoir, when servant brought
the card of a Captain Vanguard to her. who
wished for an immediate audience Of the lady.
Anything more ridiculous could not well occur
TO her mind, and while She was yet laughing at
the presumption of Monsieur lie Capitaine, and
marvelling at his lack of saroir rirre, Captain
Vanguard appeared at the door of the room, sa-
cred to all that is feminine, and with short and
abrupt bow dismissed the servant, as one who
was to be obcycd-and obcyed he was by the
awed servant Before she couldrecover from her
surprise, or touch the bell by her side, to order
the expulsion of the captain by the window, he
had taken seat close beside her sofa, and Open
ed proceedings by removing the bell. A grim,
severe, moustached bearded man of fifty was
the captain, and his first question savored of
impertinence, or a strong interest in her personal
affairs.
Z" How many servants have your
The lady was not wife or a widow, and had
not yet learned TO be other than meek, and she
answered as before judge:
"Ten, monsieur But"
No butts, fyou please, Madame Ia Comtessc
How long have they been with your
"They are old servants of the family"
"That is not correct, madame"
"Sir!" and the lady looked round for aid !;
but glance at the stern figure deferred her fur
ther efforts, and she merely rose, assuming
most aristocratic pose.

Has been with me seven years, sir"
"Humph! And you have two hundred thou
sand francs in your writing-dcsk before you,
believer"
The lady grew pale.
Pardon me, madame, am not going to rob
You"
This was slightly reassuring and the lady, with
CLEAN of confidence, remembered that she had
female cook who had been engaged about ten
days, who she really had forgotten.
"Ah, that is what I thought" observed the
captain. describe her"
This is impcrtinence, sir. If you wish to
engage her, you have proceeded in a very i'm
proper way, and demonstrate with you upon
your brutality"

"Go into the kitchen, sir, then; for it is a fit
place for you" Courage comes by degrees, and
with the knowledge of security sometimes.
The captain was imperturabe. lie rose, made
low bow and departed, taking the bell and
locking the dor after him.
twas no good fainting; but, before she had
made up her mind what to do, the door was I'M
locked, the bell restored, and the captain remark
ed in his dry voice:
II was right; your female cook is a rather
powerful male toroat escaped from the galleys,
and you would, perhaps, tonight have been mi
nus two hundred thousand francs, and perhaps
your life. Bon jour, madame"
Before she could say a word the captain was
gone, and the cook had left the house in com
pany with two sergeants Of the police This Is
fact, and shows that the police business is al
ways conducted with an eye to the true dramatic
situation

LEWIS CAss, the candidate of the Democratic
party for the Presidency, and Gen. VIM. o. But
Ter the candidate for the Vice-Prcsidency in
1s4s, will give their support in this election to
Breckenridge and Lane, as the rightful nominees
Of the Democratic party, and as the faithful rep
rescntativcs of its time-honored creed.
Ex-President Pierce and every living member
of his cabinet support the ticket of Breckenridge
and Lane.
James Buchanan, the present Democratic Pre-
sidcnt, and every member of his cabinet, sup
port the nomination of Breckenridge and Lane.
Every Democratic member Of the present U. S.
Senate, North and South, with the exception of
Douglas and Pugh, support the nomination of
Breckenridge and Lane.
Every Democratic member in the House of
Representatives from the South, with the excep-
ton of three or four, support the nomination of
Breckinridgc and Lane.
Every Democratic Governor of the United
States, with but two or three exceptions, sup
ports the nomination of Breckenridge and Lane
Nineteen out of every twenty of the Demo
cratic papers of every Democratic State in the
Union, support Breckenridge and Lane.
And yet, the public are told by the Douglas
