ABOUT SMALL FEET.-A writer in the San Francisco Sunday Mercury furnishes the subioined information: ''1 had the pleas
 ure of an introduction the other evening to Peruvian lady of the s.upper crust' and was particularly struck with the smallness of her feet and hands. The lady is deep brunette. has Killing eye, teeth as white as pearl, voice of rare sweetness, and what will be decidedly interesting to my male readers-is mistress of a fortune of half million. She visits San Francisco for the purpose of observing our manners and customs, and, perhaps, to pass few months in one of our female seminaries. She informs me that the ladies of Lima are noted for their extremely small feet, the secret being that the infants of the female sex, undergo, as rule, amputation of the little toe of each foot. So general IS the custom that many women think that five toes on each is a state of things peculiar to the male sex She also informed me that 8 famous Peruvian surgeon IS coming up to San Francisco, where he expects to reap . rich harvest. Hewarrants to very young ladies the tiniest and most graceful foot by means of the above named amputatlon, and confinement to the house of only one week. A custom of this kind prevailed pretty generally in Paris some years ago, kept upby the very reprehensible complal- sance of 3 surgeon, who had acquired some reputation tenching this silly .mutllatioD, Ladies be on the. qai rive for the Peruvlan surgeonp ss9e ? s- e.

 E Mr. A. H. E., the lucky owner of the ticket which drew the Chicago Opera House. stiHacontinuesf Inc subject of gossip in our western exchanges. He seems to have more than the usual amount, of philosophy A Chicago paper thus describes him ::
 'sMr. Lee is now forty-seven years old, and has wife and six children-three boys and three girls. As the latter are not of 6 marriageable age, no further notice of them IS necessary He was in the commission business at St. Louis for little over fifteen years, but for some time past has been iv- Ing at Prairie du Rocher. He owns some miles there, and the flour bearing his brand IS said to be the best in the St. Louis mar ket He considers Prairie du Rocher to be the Ioveliest place in America, that if one wishes to be happy he has but to live there, and with his income of over fifteen thousand dollars year he is able to keep them so. With the exception of his and two other families the inhabitants are all creoles. He is of medium height, stout built, and has jolly, good-natured look to him; his eyes are black, and his hair dark grey. He was both amused and vexed by the various notices of him in the news papers; the being called myth and an s.'ex-colonep' were especially distastefuI to him. -'@ e eR - - "The reasons for his selling the Opera House to Mr. Crosby at the low price he did, were stated by himself as follows: He had made Prairie du Rocher his home, and he wished to live and die there. As soon as he knew of his good fortune he deter mined to sell the Opera House, and that Mir. Crosby should have the first opportuni- ty of buyingit, If MT. Crosby was unable to buy 1t, he would put 8 reasonably low price upon it. The income he had already had was more than he needed, and he had always @ sort of millionsi @ feeling. He had a sympathy for MT. Crosby, and felt that the Opera House should not only be owned by resident of Chicago, but that Mr. Cros- by should be the one. After arriving here, he found that Mr. Crosby could, without embarrassment pay him $20O, ,000, cash, for the Opera House; that he could and would if necessary, pay him more, but that 1t would embarrass him if he did Af- ter good deal of reflection Mr. Lee, of his own free will and accord, offered it to Mir. Crosby for $200, 900, cash. To use his own words; T am as rich. anyway, as care about being and $20O, ,000 more is enough ,"
