MIREs's DAUGHTER "BLEssED" WITH AN
HEIR-The FickleneSS Of Fortune Illustrated.
The Princess de Polignac has daughter.
Who would have thought a year ago, when
the son of the Minister of Charles the Tenth
was married to one of the richest brides in
France, that their child should be the grand
daughter of n forger, should inherita por-
ton of infamy, should come into the world
at the moment the world was ringing with
the misdoings of one Of her progenitors2 1t
is only a twelve-month since the Paris
journals and even private letters were full
of the details of the trousseau of Mile Mires,
but who talks of the layette of her child
1t is only twelve-month since the dowry
which the great bankers daughter brought
her high-born husband was discussed at
every club in Paris aud London, andat more
than one in New York; since the marriage
de cohOendnce was pronounced a mssdLRdncs
for Prince Of so illustrious name; since
many other well-born adventurers wished
themselves so lucky as to make Just such
neSdlidnceS. -.'
And to-day, the baby that was to hand
down the name of the de Polignacs and the
wealth of the Mires, inherits no wealth, and
a name, of whose connection with dishonor,
that the baby itself is the proof. The Prince
has relinquished to the creditors Of hisfather-
in-law, the dowry for which he was said to
have sold HIMSELF and probably few young
strangers have been ushered into sphere
where they were less welcome, than the most
recent claimant of the blood of the de Polig-

Optical Gymnastics.

DR.. Holland is now writing, in the Spring
field Republican, a series of essays, entitled
Nominations" In the first chapter he
speaks of the infnity which lies below US
the wonders which are discoverable in little
things. Here is an illustration, from which
he deduces valuable lesson:
These thoughts come to me, borne by GER
tain memories. | remember a venerable
gentleman of Buffalo-Dr. Scott-who did,
and who still does, very great things in q
very small way. At the age of seventy he
became conscious of decaying power of
vision. Being professionally a physician,
and naturally aphilosopher, he conceived the
idea that the eye might be improved by
what he denominated a series Of "ocular
gymnastics" He therefore undertook to
exercise his eyes upon the formation of
minute letters-working upon them until
the organs began to be weary, and then,
like prudent man, resting for hours.
By progressing slowly and carefully he
became, at last, able to dc wonders in the
way of fine writing, and also became able to
read the newspapers without glasses. (Here's
hint for some clever Yankee--as good as a
fortune.) Now, reader, prepare for large
story ; but be assured that it is true, and
that my hands have handled and my eyes
seen the things of which tell you. AT the
age of seventy one, DIR. Scott wrote upon an
enameled card with a stile, on space exactly
equal to that of one side of three cent
piece-The Lords Prayer, the Apostles
Greed, the Parable of the Ten Virgins, the
Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, the
Beatitudes, the fifteenth Psalm, the one
hundred and twentieth Psalm, the one hun
dIed and thirty third Psalm, the one hundred
and thirty first Psalm, and the figures 1880"
Every word, every letter, and every pune
exquisitely on this minute space, and that
old man not only saw every mark he made,
but had the delicacy of muscular action aud
steadiness of nerve to form the letters so
beautifully that they abide the test of the
highest magnifying power. They were, Of

EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF DRUNKENNEss.- -
Every body knows, says French journal,
that few drops of ammonia, in glass of
sugar and water, dissipate commencing in-
toxication. But ammonia is not to be met
with everywhere, and, besides, its good
effects appear to be confined to cases where
the drunkenness has been produced by
liquids containing certain quantity of acid,
such as claret, Champagne, white wines, and
the like. A little pamphlet by NJ. Leceur,
of Caen, recommends sugar, as in every re-
spect superior to ammonia for producing the
end in question. Lec9ur has recommended,
and administers with success, in cases of
intOxication, pieces of simple crystalized
sugar, of moderate size, and from hve to
crauch them, the state Of inebriety is dissi-
pated as if by enchRntment. rI1 q

GRAND MISTAKE OF THE CHARLEsToNIANs
RESPECTING Fort SUMTER.-A correspondent
of the Philadelphia North american, writing
from Fort Sumter, says:
An amusing incident occurred few days
ago, upon the arrival of the steamboat with
the private effects of one of the officers,
which had been left at Sullivan's Island.
Supposing that Fort Sumter was at last to
be evacuated, the troops at the different bat
teries around mounted upon the breast-works
and sand hills to watch the departure.
Just before the arrival Of the boat Major
Anderson had given orders for the repair of
the large flag, which had become torn.
While the steamer was lying at the wharf
the flag was lowered, when the troops around
set up loud shout, which, however, was
suddenly checked by seeing anew flag run
ming up to the masthead, that soon floated
out as defantly as ever.

STRANGE FEAR OF HUMAN THAw.-In
what is known as the upper end" of Pike
county, Penna., there is man who has the
ironical soubriquet of whispering John
Ricketts," This title he has gained from the
fact that he always talks (even in conversa-
tion) as if he were Major General on par
ade, or to use a more common expression,
''like he was raised in mill.n
This gentleman, who, by-the.by is Zone
of 'em,' mounted his horse one cold morning
before daylight, for the purpose of riding
down to Milford in time to take the morn
ing stage. coach for Philadelphia. He rode
up to the hotel just as the boarders and trav-
elers had done their breakfast.
He dismounted, and walking into the bar
room, spoke to the landlord in his usual
laundering tone:
"Good morning, Mr.. L., how do you
do this morningW
"Very well, Mr.. Riekets, how do you do?'
COB, am well, but I'm so cold | can't
hardly talk"
Just then a nervous traveller who was pres
ent, ran up to the landlord, and catching
him by the coat, said
"Mr. l., have my horse brought as
soon as possible"
"What is the matter, my dear sir; has any
thing happened p
Nothing upon earth, only want to get
away from here before that man thaaVs."

INTERESTING PROM PENsACoLA-The Con-
tederatS States Preparing to Attack Fort
PickenS.-The reports already received of a
contemplated attack upon Fort Pickens are
confirmed by the following statement of the
Montgomery, tAlal correspondent of the
Charleston rs. o. Mercury:
A dispatch FROM the Warrington Navy
yard, received this morning, says that Col
onel Bragg is still busy in preparations for
an attack. Fifteen hundred troops from
Mississippi are now on their way TO Pensa-
cola. The two regiments will be in Mobile
in a few days, and from there will march
across the country, from Blakely to Pensa-
cola. The Georgia troops will rendezvous
at Macon, and proceed in body from that
point, to Join the regiment from Florida,
One thousand men are about TO start from
Louisiana also. All these, with the 1900
men now before Fort Pickens, will make
quite respectable force, and will prevent
any re endorsements at present,sWere it at
tempted A few temporary appointments
have been made in the medical staff of the
army, but their names will not be published
until the officers are classified.

THE Now. PUBLISHING NOVELS OF DICKENS
\AND THACKERAY.-The two greatest novel
lists of the present age are simultaneously
engaged in the task, fascinating alike to
reader and writer, of creating-no other
word will express the idea = characters
which promise to live prominently in the
world Of fictitious personages. Thackeray
in his Adventures Of Philip, and Dickens, in
his Great Expectations, are each following
out in different way the same idea: each
giving us the history of young man, aud
at the same time showing in vivid colors
their peculiar style of writing. Thackeray's
hero, Philip, belongs to good society, and
hobnobs with gentry and nobility. Dick
ens's hero is avery poor little boy who works
in blacksmith shop, and knows no more
of fashionable life than he CLEANS from a
visit to a rich lame old maid for whom he
does some service.
The young years of Philip are but briefly
told, while from the moment he lanches
into society all his actions are minutely de-
scribed. But Dickens with that inimitable
skill and delicate feeling which so character
ICES his young people, dwells with care and
pleasure upon the child life of his hero. In
this, indeed, there is q marked difference be-
tween the two novelists. Thackeray has no
little folks; while Dickens would be cele-
brated had he never given us an adult char
acter, and were known to the reading world
only by Little Nell by the boy David Cop
peTfield, or by his greatest creation of this
class, little Paul Dombey.

ASoIHER CASE OF SCANDAL IN ESGLAND.-
Another teandalous case is before the En-
Rlish courts. Sir O. II. Rumbold, nephew of
Lord Ranclihe, deceased, has brought an ac-
tion against Mr.. and Mrs. Forteath, Of Bunny
Hall, Notts, to recover property of $1,000
a year, bequeathed to her by his lOrdship,
The circumstances are curious enough. The
wife of Lord Rancliffe was proud lady of
rank, who ran off with one of his servants.
He then formed an intimacy with Mrs.
Burtt and left her this property at his death.
Mrs. Burt, becoming wealthy, married Mr..
FoTtesth, and they are living in style on her
il-gOtten fortune. The viii, it is alleged,
was fraudulently obtained.
