A Parisian and Her Pitcher,

Every evening about ten o'clock woman
takes up her position under the Collert Arcade,
at the corner of the Reu Vivienne, her ostensibe
objest being TO fetch water from the fountain;
for which purpose like the daughters Of Eaban,
she carries pitcher in her hand As soon as
she observes a gentleman advancing, she quietly
places her pitcher at the angle Of the two Streets
and hides herself in the neghboring doorway
Owing to the darkness of the spot the gentle
man probably falls over and breaks the pitcher,
soils his trousers, and hurts his shins. The Ro-
man screams. Be more careful another time,
then" says the gentleman, rubbing his shins.-
q" All. my good gentleman" says the woman,
weeping al am, indeed, sorry that yotr clothes
should be soiled like that" And She sheds tears
enough to GIL another pitcher. The gentleman
consoles her and afirms that it does not much
matter, as he can easily change his inexpressi-
bes, and at the Same time adds how much he
regrets having broken her pitcher. At this her
sobs redouble. "The pitcher" says she, "was
not mine, and have no money to replace IT,
The gentleman, melted by her distress, puts his
hand into his pocket and gives two, three, and
sometimes even five francs to the unfortunate
woman who then goes to buy another pitcher to
be broken by some other gentleman-and SO on
till midnight. As there are women who prac-
tice this profitable trick near all the fountains
in Paris, it has given birth to new species of
industry. There now men who mend these
broken pitchers.-Faris paper.

drinking, indeed, a dozen kinds of water in ev-
cry twenty-fo hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely he essary to use a

and to act as we know it will act, as an anti
dote, we confidently prescribe it as the very best
article in the country. The name of " Aromatic

in any way to this article. In first presenting
the

to the public, my aim was to give them pure
and unadulterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction and extensive sale in California is
sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped to California an article which they
call "Club House Gin" Ny Gin, which has

A California L Lady.

We have heard the praises of English, French
Spanish and American ladies sung time and
again by those who professed to know, and who
certainly possessed the faculty of describing the
bewitching traits of the finer sex but we have
heard little or nothing concerning the qualities
that adorn the women of this far distant men,
Der of the Union. We therefore give the fol-
lowing brief but truthful description Of Cali
fornia lady: A gentleman of this city was
obliged, by his business relations, to make
tour through number of our inland counties
and during his peregrinations called upon q gen.
tleman of Nevada county. He wVs received by
the gentleman and his wife with courtly hospi-
tality and polished urbanity, in perfect keeping
with the personal grace and elegance of the fair
hostess. In the course of conversation the vsi-
tor asked his host whether the country in the
neighborhood did not abound in game and was
answered in the affirmative by the lady, who said
that she would give him proof of the fact, and
Immediately taking down beautiful fowling-
piece proceeded to equip herself with ammuni-
ton, game-bag, and the other requisites for the
chase Having completed her arrangements, the
lady sailed into the fields, and in the course of
an hour returned with half dozen fine quails,
two large hares, and number of plovers; her
face, radiant with health and glowing from the
exercise. Excusing herself, the lady then went
INTO the Kitcneni ana IN que course OF time pre-
pared a repast fit for Apicius, which was parta-
ken of with great zest by all present, the lady
doing the honors of the house with unsurpassed
ease and courtliness, having previously per-
formed her toilet and arrayed herself in charm
ing costume.
During the evening, some neighbors were
added to the circle. and conversation assumed a
lively and general tone, aud our visitor was de-
lighted, as well astoni5hed, to find his fair
hostess fluent in the French Spanish and Italian
languages; highly accomplished in music, paint
ing, botany and chemistry well read in the va
rous branches of solid learning; a brilliant
pianist and harpist, and in all other respects
one Of the most fascinating and accomplished of
her sex. This is a truthful, though faint sketch
of our California lady. There are many such
in our State, of whom we feel justly proud.--S.
