Gov. WIsE's PROJECT Richmond En-
quirer concludes an article the subject of send
Ing commissioners to the cotton States with the
following recommendation:
Let the first convention, then, be held between
Maryland and Virginia, and, these two States
agreeing let them PTOvtds sufficient force to seize
the city Of Washington, and If coercion is to be at
tempted, let 1t begin with subjugatlng the States
of Maryland and Virginia. thus practical and
efficient fighting In the Union win prevent the
powers OF the Union from falling into the hands
Of our enemies. We hope Virginia will depute
her commissioners to Maryland first, and, prorid-
ing for the seizure Of Washington and old Point,
.Harper'S Ferry and GospoTt mary yard, present
theSe ttoO States an the attitude Of TsbsIs, tRrtng
coercion. This was the way Patrick Heary brought
about the revolution and this is the best use that
Virginia can make Of commissions Of any kind.

How FRENCH ACTRESSES AVOIDED GIVING
THEIR AGES IN PUBLIC.-The Paris correspon-
dent Of Boston paper thus relates how two
noted actresses of Paris avoided the public rev.
elation Of their ages:
A servant robbed Mile Mars of her diamonds
one evening while she was at the theatre. Ar
rested, he was put upon trial and witnesses
were summoned to bear testimony to his guilt
Among these was Mile Mars She was greatly
annoyed by this, as according to the rules Of
French practice, the witness, after being
sworn, gives his age. Now the age Of Mile.
Mars was an impenetrable mystery; for it was
a theme she never talked on, and she possessed
the art Of arresting time fight, or at least of
repairing its rayages so effectually, her face
never revealed acquaintance with more than
twenty years. She was for some days evident
ly depressed; then, all at once, her spirits rose
as busyant as ever. This puzzled her court
fer people in her eminent position always have
a court; parasites are plenty in Paris-they did
not know whether she had determined frankly
to confess her age, or whether she had hit upon
some means of eluding this thorny point Of
practice.
The day Of trial came, and she was at her
place. The courthouse was filled ehock full,
and when she was put in the witness box every
ear was bent towards her to catch the age she'd
give as her own. "Your name?" said the pre-
siding Judge. "Anne Francoise Hippolyte
Mars "What is your profession" " An
actress OF the French Comedy" "N hat Is
your sge!" "-ty years" '.What ?" in
quired the presiding judge, leaning forward.

actress, giving one Of those irresistible smiles,
which won the most hostile pit. The Judge
smiled in turn. and when he asked, as he did
Immediately, Where do you liye?" hearty
applause long prevented Mile Mars from re-
plying.
Mile Cleo was summoned before a court the

were there, and they reckon-d upon good
