Buried BEFORE BrRrH Tho Duke of
Alba, the brother-in law of Napoleon
III, is n short, little man, who has
something icy about his whole manner.
Small aid weak, his face displays an
alabaster hue. which gives him ghost
like aspect. In Spain the story is cur
rent that the duke was buried before
he was born. When his mother was
enceinte with him she was taken so
desperately i'll that all the attempts
to restore her re NAMED fruitless. The
duchess died far away from Madrid, at
a chateau which had always been her
favoiite residence. She was buried in
the family vault; and, as it is the GUS
tom of the Spanish nobility, several
valuables, among others her rings,
were put into the coffin. The treas
ures which had been left TO oblivion
with the duchess aroused the cupidity
of some ruflians; they broke into the
vault on the night following the fune-
raj, robbed the dead woman, and
would not leave the coffin till they had
plucked flashing diamond from the
finger of the corpse. The diamond
was on the little finger and would not
come off. This gave the body-snatch-
ers the truly cannibal idea of cutting
the finger The pain aroused the APP
parently dead woman; she came to her
senses, set up III the coffin, and by her
unexpected awakening put the robbers
to flight. When they departed they
forgot to close the vault. The Ouch
ess found sufficient strength to quit
her coffin, and return to the chateau,
where she was at first taken for q
ghost, and a priest was called in to ex-
orcise it, but rs he was unable to ban
ish the specter, the people in the cha
teau gradually began to believe in her
corporal existence. The duchess re-
covered, and gave birth to boy, who
has never lost the deathly pallor which
he brought into the world with him.

Blown Up.-An Englishman was
madly in love with Sc otch vivandiere
at Balnclava, and bored her with his
addresses. The young woman, no
longer able to endure the annoyance,
forbade him the door After many
vain attempt to overrulo the objec
tons, the tourist determined to COM
nit suicide, but, in presence of the
great events which were being played
out, in no paltry manner. Having
first bequeathed his fortune to the
vivandiere, he caused deep hole to
be dug, in which he placed twenty
pounds of powder; over this excava-
ton a slab was laid, and upon it the
rejected one, cigar in mouth, took
his seat. He TRANQUILITY finished his
weed, which was no doubt a good one
and not easily parted with, and then
applied the expiring embers to the
magazine below. "L'explosion cut
lieu, and TWO minutes later cnafreu
mass descending from the heavens fell
into the port-a mass which aston
ished British seamen recognized as u
human body, and proceeded to fish
from the water There was general
cry of "a man from heaven !" Some
declared that he had been kicked out
of the sun, others that he was an
aeronaut come to grief. 1t proved to
be the Englishman, who presently re-
covered his consciousness, and the vi
vandiere, touched by this proof of af-
lection, capitulated. The blowing up
is not so extraordinary as some may
fancy, for Capt. Fernier was blown up
with his battery and was found sitting
500 yards off, wondering what the
devil had happened, and not in the
least hurt. Louis Nor. .f lairi ~

Signs OF Character.

SlgnS or character.
When you meet young man with
plenty Of bad cologne on his pocket
handkerchief, aud n stale odor of cigar
smoke in his hair, you may be sure
that he was bold enough to contract
very bad habit, and not bold enough
frankly to take the consequences of it.
In cigar VS.. cologne, the plaintiff has

When you sec young woman with
her shawl fastened al awry and un-
mendod fractures in her gloves, it is
pretty sure index that she reads novels
and lies in bed late Of a morning. If
you happen to be wife-huuting, don't
be mislel by her bright eyes aud cher
ry checks A girl who cannot spend
time to keep herself looking neat,
ought not to be trusted with the care
of her husband appended to these
articles.
When n gentleman hands up your
fare in the stage as politely as that of
your gorgeously dressed neighbor,
without reference to the fact that YOU
wear calico and cotton gloves, rest as
sured that he is lacking in no courte-
sizes to his own wife Mt home And if a
lady-no, woman accepts his polite
ness as mere matter of course, with
no, "thank you" nor acknowledging
smile, then you may conclude that she
has entered into society on the bubbles
of petroleumnot no any merits of
her own.
When a lady-no, once again-a fe-
male goes to the grocery in rust
ling silk dress, and does her morning
shopping in diamond rings and cash

things: either she does not know any
better, or she has no other place in
which to display her finery
When the nice young man." who is
paying you particular attention, speaks
shortly to his mother, OF omits to pay
his sisters the little attentions that
come so gracefully from man to wo-
man, it is apt to be a sign that his wife
must put up with the same system of
snubbing and neglect as soon as the
first gloss of the wedding suit is gone.
When gentleman cannot talk flu
entity on the great subjects of ancient
and modern interest, but polkas
'charmingly," we may safely conclude
that his brains-such as they are
have all settled down into his agile
heels. We do not disapprove of dane
ing, yet we must confess to prefer
ence for having the brains little high
er up
When girl cntertains you with
spicy ridicule Of her gentlemen friends,
showing up their various imperfec-
tons and weaknesses, take your hat
and go. Ifyou need any comfort there
will be sufficient in the fact that you
will undoubtedly furnish your share of
amusement to the next arrival
