POLITICAL SUMMING UP.-A modern
writer gives the following enumeration
Of the expressions of woman's eye:
"The glare, the stare, the sheer, the
invitation, the defiance, the denial, the
consent, the glance of love, the flash of
rage, the sparkling Of hope, the Ian
guishment OF softness, the squint of sus-
picion, the fire of Jealousy, and the lus-
tire of pleasure"
He might have added that of melting
tenderness with which she looks upon a
love of a bonnet, and that of malignant
joy with which she regards an old dress
of a neighbOr.

most singular development of this sad
and mysterious affair is yet to be told:
Further information proves that Mrs
Lambert was not dead, but had been in
a trance for two days, presenting every
Indication that life had departed. She
is now improving, and expected very
soon TO recover. She states that She
could hear every word spoken and could
realize the preparations her friends We're
making for her funeral, but could make
no resistance or move a muscle Of her
body. Her grave had been dug. She
now lives, and the minister who had
been called to preach her funeral SER
mon now lies buried in the same grave
made to receive her lastremains.
