one that originated with Franklin. a
piece Of gold Leaf, about 23 inches long,
was cut in the shape of fish. A large
Leyden jar, with an elevated knob, having
been charged, the gold leaf was brought
near it. This gold fish sprAng toward the
knob but stopped within two inches of it,
and remained lowering In the air, its tail
waving like thst of fish. The jar, when
carried about the room, Wss followed BY
the fish, which remained thus suspended
in the sir, and waving its tail for nearly an
hour.
"A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
Sette, writing from Paris, says: have al
ready referred 70 the great ball at Paris on
the llth. There were $500 persons pres
ent. One of the saloons was adorned with
the furniture of the drawing-room Of the
frst Napoleon. According to the CORES
pOndeDt of the London Star opinions were
divided as to whether the fair English
beauty, Mrs. Miles, or the EtoiLs du RoTd,
the American Mrs RoneldE, carried of the
palm of loVeliness--the former in amber
and pearls, tho latter in 8 costume of cloth

most remarked Of Paris beauties.
Paris is just now laughing over themis- |
adventure of the Duchess of D., who, |
it seems, always distributes at the new year
q great number of orders for bread among |
the poor Of the Faubourg st. Germaia.-I
The Duchess had placed pile Of these or
ders on her desk, and beside it pile of Wis
iting cards and envelopes, the latter being
duly directed to the Hdesr five hundred
friends" i" on her visiting list, and desired
her maid to put card into each envelope,
and then carry the whole to the post the
maid, who was fresh from the country, and
not "up to" Paris ways, put bread order
into each envelope, and duly despatched
these misplaced aims to the Duchess friends.
The amszement of the grand folk of the
noble fsubourg on receiving these orders
may be imagined; but the pile of cards that
had remained on her desk, having put the
Duchess on the track of the mistake made
'y her SoNbrette, the cards-were at once dis
patched, with request for the return of the
bread tickets.
The Paris journal des Debats records
he decease at Versailles, the 21st ult., of
Madame de Saint Quentin, aged loo and
months, having been born st Saint Dizier,
october %, 1858. She enjoyed the full use
# al her faculties up to 1O4 years, going
'ut regularly every day, and making and
eceiving frequent calls. She was always
lesirous that her visitors should enjoy
themselves and would seat herself at the
iiano, play contra dances and sing songs
f the olden times. She would remark TO
new visitor; You probably have never
eard woman above 100 years old sing or
