DN"'N' Do -,DHsss.-On Thursday morn.
- last, strolling vagabond entered the
dwelling of Mr.. Alfred c. Cole, on High
street, and demanded Miss Cole to get him
his breakfast. The breakfast table was still
sitting on the floor on'which was good
supply OF 7ictuals. Upon the entrance of
the straggIer and the issuing of his bold and
Imperative demand, the young lady ran up
STAIRS whereupon he sat down and very de.
lberately deyoured the contents of tho table
and left. So alarmed was Miss Cole that
she did not think to call man who was at
work in the garden, fortunate circumstance
perhaps for if she had, the attending result
would probably have been worse than it was

Josephine's W q I'd, obc.

No one had larger and more choice selec-
ton of cashmere shawls than Josephine. Mdlle.
Ducrest relates that the deceased Empress
had more than one hundred and fifty of the
most magnificent and costly cashmere shawls.
She had sent to Constantinople patterns from
which she had them made the re- as pleasing
to the eye as they were costly and precious.
Every week nj. LenoImant, the first man
miiiner in Paris, came to Navarro, the coun-
try residence of the Empress, and brought his
most beautiful shawls for her selection. The
Empress possessed several (having a white
ground covered with roses, violets, paroquets,
peacocks and other objects Of beauty hitherto
unknown in Frar ce). each of which cost from
fifteen TO twenty thousand frances
The Empress went so far in herpassion for
cashmeres as to have dresses made of the
same material. One day she had put on one
OF these dresses which was so beautiful that
some gentlemen invited TO dinner could not
withhold their admiration. One of them,
Count Pourtaies, thought that this splendid
material would be well adapted for a gentle
mans vest. Josephine, in her large hearted
ness, had pair of scissors brought; she then
cut her dress into several pieces sufficiently
large for vest, ard divided them among the
gentlemen, SO that only the bodice of the
dress remained. with small piece around the
waist. But this improyised spencer over the
white, richly embroidered undertakes, was
TO exceedingly becoming to the Empress,
and brought out so exquisitively her beauti-
fnl bust, and slender, graceful waist, that it
would have been easy to consider as a piece of
coquetry what Was simply Josephinc's spou-
faDeous generosity.
