GEN. JOHN q. BRECKINRIDGE

From the Paris True kcntuokianl
A gentleman who recently happened to
be at the village Of Niagara, in Canada,
spent a few pleasant hours with the dlstin-
puished gentleman whose name heads this
article. Il will be agreeable 10 the friends
of General BRECKINRIDGE TO learn that at
the time referred 20, he was in the enjoy
ment Of excellent health, and never looked
better. He was living in modest style, and
giving his personal attention 20 the cduca'
lion of his younger children. lie has since
sailed 10 Europe, and in all probability will
settle for the present in the south Of France,
or in some locality having similar climate
lie designs 10 place his two younger child
rem at school in Switzerland.
The REPORTS which have been circulated, o.
large contributions Of money made him by
his friends in the United States are wholly
untrue. or greatly exaggerated, for we learn
that the money upon which he has been
living since his soiourn in Canada was a lev
thousand dollars saved from his salary as
Confederate General and obtained in gold II
Cuba. The expenses Of living in Canad'
are coniparatively light as General BROCK
NANCE occupied neatly furnished house

tertaipment OF such friends as sought hi
society. at a cost Of only twelve dollars pc
month. Other expenses Of living were at IN
same reasonable rates.

DISCOVERY OF RTCHELIEU's HEAD.

From a Paris letter 10 appears that some
ofthe RICHEIIEU family papers, lately come
TO light, disclosed the fact that the great car
dinal's head was preserved apart from his
body. The question which thereupon arose
was what had become Of the head ? I'm
mediate search was ordered 10 be made, and
no expense was TO be spared in the efforts TO
recover it. After several months Of research
the head has at length been found in the
possession Of an ancient family in Bretagne,
and forthwith sent % Paris 70 the HiiHisiore
dc FiRSruotioa publiguc. Those who were
present at the opening Of the box describe
the head as being in a wonderful state Of
preservation. The eyebrows, whiskers, i'm
perial and moustache are Of a reddish color,
and quite perfect one eyelid vas closed, the
other open, the flesh, Of course, was black.
Il bore something the appearance Of a mask,
but not at all nnploasing. A telegram was
Immediately dispatched 20 the Emperor Ma
PoLEoN, asking, What is 70 be done with
the defunct cardinal ?" Il Is feared that or
ders will be issued for funeral. / say feared
because there are many who woul infinitely
prefer having the head preserved above
ground, that they might be allowed TO stare
al il 70 their curiosity's content. What
would this once greatest man Of Europe have
said, OF rather, what would he have thought
for most probably he would not have said

SINGULAR LEGAL OPINION
Memphis lawyer relates, if we may
rely upon the statement of the Mem
phis Bulletin, that while in Carroll
County last week, he had attended the
preliminary trial of man before IL
country magistrate, charged with
stealing corn from q neighbor's crib
The evidence went to chow that the
defendant had been found with his
hand IN an aperture in the crib, safely
fastened in steel trap, which the
owner OF the crib had set for the pur-
pose of catching the thief who had
been preying upon his grain. It was
also In evidence that two empty corn
sacks were found lying at the feet of
the entrapped individual. The deci-
sion of the magistrate was that there
was no proof that the prisoner had
stolen any corn, and rs to being
caught in a steel trap, any gentleman
had perfect right to stick his hand
in one, If he felt inclined to do so.

WITHDRAWAL OF THE FRENCH
TRooPs FROM MEXICO. While Mr..
Seward was in New York, as one of
the Presidential party, enjoying the
great ovation the people extended
them, somebody handed Mr. S. the
cable despatch announcing that the
Emperor Napoleon had extended the
time for the withdrawal of the French
troops from Mexico, till January next,
and asked him what he thought of it.
The Secretary replied by telling an
anecdote, a la Lincoln, the point of
which was that when u discomforted
rat was doing his best to find hole
to crawl out of, it would be unwise
not to indulge him q little. Romero,
who was standing by, was happy to
concur with the Secretary, only he
thought the animal in this case had
had already too much indulgence.

The BANQUET AT DELMoNIcos.- -
The dinner given ut Delmonico' s, in
New York, in honor of the President,
is said to have been the most elegant
every yet given in that city. $50
persons sat down at the table, and
the cost was $25, 900, just one years
salary of the President, and 500 for
each person that partook. The greater
part of this expense was for wines,
which were rare and costly, there
being eight different varieties, and
each bottle costing from $40 to $50.
500 for u single meal is rather ex-
travagant
