Clergyman.

clergyman
Burleigh," of the Boston Journal, is
in Paris, and is disguised with the Elk.
position, the people, the prices, and the
Emperor, but is charmed with the EN-;
press. He describes the Emperor and
Empress, as seen on the Exposition
opening day, thus:
"Those who expect to find the Empe.
ror feeble and waning man, will be
disappointed. He seems to be in the
prime of life, and the full vigor Of health.
He has none Of that sleepy, drowsy look
represented in pictures. His eye is not
heavy and stolid. His face is full of
thought, and his eye, when be chooses to
lift his head, is brilliant He acts like a
misanthrope. The expression on his
face is that of q man jaded-tired out
with fetes and shows-one who didn't
care to conceal his disgust. He sits
back in his carriage, or rather crouched
up in the corner, Indifferent to all the
plaudits of the great crowd, not even
deigning to look on the assembled mul.
titude watching for the Imperial smile.
Not so the Empress. She is be-
nignant, intellectual and handsome. She
is the idol of France. She never appears
but the people 90 into ecstacies. She
sits upright in her carriage, bows to the
right and left, not with the air of patron
age, but with genuine goodness and de-
light, with smile that is so peculiar to
Her Majesty. Like Abigail of old, she
seems to attempt, by her own courtesy,
to make up for the churlishness Of
her husband She is Spanish, and
her style of beauty so unlike that Of the
French, that it is marked. The French
ladies are not beautiful, tried by any
standard, either EHglish or American.
They are short, dark and fat. Their
dress is not becoming; it is neither tasty
nor elegant The noble ladies', as they
ride in their coaches, are by no means
attractive. The Empress is tall, slim
and fair. She has not the dolllike
beauty ascribed to her. She is really
intellectual looking. She has decided
talent She attends the cabinet councils
and debates the questions of State with
great ability. She presides in the absence
of her husband, and holds the council
close to the Imperial will Her husband
confdes in her judgment, and on many
occasions she has proved to be his good
angel. She is bold and brave in every
good work, and dared the cholera, visit
ing the sick wards and distributing smiles
and flowers, and was rewarded by the
tears and gratitude of the patients. Her
dress on the day of the opening was
singularly simple and elegant; she wore
a clAret-colored silk dress, black velvet
coat bonnet to match her dress, and
gloves in keeping, with one single orna
ment in sight. She won all hearts by her
gentle, lady-like and queenlY move
ments. Her face was radiant with salts
faction as the English and Americans
blended her name in the hearty cheers
they gave the Emperor.

Tho puelish House of Commons.

"Burleigh," of the Boston Journal,
writes from London, under date of April
5, as follows
The House of Commons is composed
of 635 members. By a strange over
sight, the hasi will not hold more than
one-half Of them. They draw seats for
one night, and that after prayers. The
drawing consists of the members putting
their cards 10 . little groove on the back
of the bench. Those who cannot get
seats below have TO 60 into the gallery,
and those who cannot sit have to stand.
The House has literal bar, below which
is the peers seat, and no peer of the
realm is allowed on the floor of the
House Of Commons. While the House
of Lords has gallery for ladies,
and its debates are attended by ladies
of quality, as we'll as others,
the House of Commons will not
allow lady within its walls Above the
reporters seat aud behind the Speaker,
in a Gagged closet capable of holding
sixteen persons, with an iron grating,
not unlike a nunnery, is found the gall
liant accommodation for ladies connected
with the House. Within this den and
behind the grating, having obtained
written permission from the Speaker,
which is regarded as a great privilege,
ladies sit and hear the debates, although
they are invisible to the debaters. The
Speaker embOdies the dignity Of the
House. He is chosen for life. He
usually serves for about six years,
then takes a pension, and goes into the
House Of Lords. He has a salary of $685.
600 per aunum. he occupies a sumptuous
house, most magnifeently furnished al
the expense Of the nation. The plate
belonging to the house atwhieh he gives
ceremonial dinners cost the nation
$4,000. Every night on the opening Of
the house crowds assembled to witness
the procession from his houss to the
chair The division Of the House is
very curious 1t operates frequently like
a snap Judgment A call is made for a
division. A three-minute glass in front
Of the Speaker is Immediately turned.
When the sands run out the doors are
closed, aud no one is admitted until
the vote is taken. Members are in al sorts
Of plaees-in the library, in the smoking
room, in the eating room, in the lobbies,in
the committee rooms To reach these ab-
sent ones, and get them in the House With
in three minutes, is often difficult task.
There are thirty.six bells, leading from

A Physician's Appetite.

The following extraordinary but we'll
authenticated statement appears in the
London Medical Times
"The celebrated DR.. Fordyce dined
every day for more than twenty years at
Dolly's chop.house. His researches in
comparative anatomy had led him to
conclude that man through custom eats
oftener than nature requires, one meal
day being sufficient for that noble ami
NAL the lion. At o'clock, his accus-
toned hour Of dining, the doctor regu-
larly took the seat at table always re-
served for him, on which were placed a
silver tankard full of strong ale, bottle
of port, and a measure containing
quarter of pint Of brandy. The mo-
ment the waiter announced him the
cook put pound and half of rump
steak on the gridiron, and en- the table
some delicate trihe as a bon bouche to
serve until the steak was ready. This
was sometimes half broiled chicken,
sometimes a plate of chicken. When
he had eaten this he took one glass of
brandy, and then proceeded to devour
his steak. When he had finished his
meal he took the remainder of his
brandy, having during his dinner drunk
the tankard of ale, and afterwards the
bottle of port. He thus daily spent an
hour and a half of his time, and then re.
turned to his house in Essex street to
give his six clock lecture on chemistry.
He made no other meal until his return
next day at four o clock to Dolly's."

sevsnty-fve Greeks Put to Flight Two
Thousand Turks.

Athens correspondent of the London Times.]
The insurrection of Tuesday does not
appear likely to bring the Eastern ques-
ton before the cabinets of Europe, in
spite of the exertions of the Hellennic
patriots. No coaxing can persuade it to
venture beyond two hours ride from the
Greek frontier. One of those brilliant
victories has been won, which is an
nounced as rivaling the glories of Mara
thon. Seventy-6ve Greeks put to fight
two thousand Turks, and burned a Greek
village before their eyes. The battle was
fought in the plain within musket shot
of the Greek frontier, aud lasted three
hours. Seventy-fve heroes routed two
thousand towards supported by cavalry
and artillery. They fred away all their
ammunition, drew their swords, swore to
sup in Hades, killed one hundred Turks,
put the rest-infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery-to fight, and marched off to Vry
sina, which is probably station on the
road to Hades. A letter from Turpi,
dated the 10th of April, records this act
of heroism, and concludes with these
words: Don't believe this is exagge-
ration it is the naked truth. saw it
with my own eyes while | was standing
on the hill near the frontier line over
looking the field of battle.
