a STRANGE EINa.--One of the eccentric
objects Of Paris is dead. He was man
with the tbinnest legs conceivable, and
whose body weighed five hundred pounds.
He was constantly to be seen strolling in the
neighborhood of the Palais Royal. He
maintained himself in great comfort by
transladons He possessed extensive philo-
logical learning; all, even the least literary
languages of Europe were familiar to him
His daily rations were almost Incredible in
quantity; judge from the bill of his first
breakfast: four plates of beef soup, four
ates of roast beef, four plates of coast veal
and four 'sportions" of bread. 10 amuse
his appetite and keep it from grumbling, he
would give it fifty cents' worth of pastry at
twelve o'clock Imagine the Gargantua's
dinner he ate The Medical School of Paris
felt desirous to dissect this mammoth man
after his death He had drawn too much
philosophy from books not to have received
some tincture of wisdom; he heard sciences
unusual proposals with equanimity; he &C.
cepted them; pocketed the offered $3.50 as
if the had come from translation, and ate,
drank and was merry in his old way. So
unwieldy was his body, he could not get in
to bed he slept in q chair, with his feet
stretched out on two chairs.
