OUACK

In place in Wisconsin, the name
o: which we cannot pronounce, if you
should succeed il spelling it, resides
correspondent of an exchange who
furnished the following:
Odd and good is old DR.. Nichols,
who formerly practiced medicine in
Ohio. He "took up" the business.
having been brought up to a trade !;
and as the call of fees did not come
fast enough to suit him, added an
apothecary's shop to his business, for
the retail of drugs and medicines.
He had great sign painted to at.
tract the wondering eyes of the vii
layers, and the Doctor loved to stand
in front Of the store and G.. ,ress its
beauties to the gaping beholders.
One uf these was an Irishman, who
gazed at it for awhile with comical
look, and exclaimed:
"Och and be the powers, if it
isn't fine! but there's something a
little bit wanting in it,
"And what, pray, is that ?" asked
the doctor.
"Why, you see, said Pat, " you've
got beautiful sheet of water here,
and not bit OF a bird swimming in
itr
"Ah-yes,' replied the doctor:
''that's good thought. I'll have
couple of swans painted there;
they be fine p \
Faith, l don't know but they
said Pat, "but I'm after
there's anither kind Of bird
what would be more sp?iopriate."
"And what is that asked the
lOctor.
"Why, l cau't exactly think of his
name list now, but he is one of the
iind of birds that when he sings, he
says, Quack, Quack, Quack !"

A RELIC OF THE FRENCH PEyO-
LUTIoN-DIsCOyERV OF A FRIGHT
FUL PAINTING.-Phiilippe Duke a.
Orleans, known in French revolution.
ary times as Egal;te, and father of
Louis Philippe, was, as historical
revolution tdffTt tTd Tad t55}kEe bitterly hostile to
his royal relatives. He was oev...s s'
cd by the Jacobins, notwithstand-
ing. The apartments which he oc-
cupied at the Palais Royal have long
been shut up, but were recently
opened for the accommodation of the
young Queen of Portugal, who was
visiting her sister Clotilde. the wife
of Prince Napoleon. In cutting
door through the wall to make con-
nection between the sisters rooms, a
picture is said, by the correspondent,
to have been discovered, of which
the revolutionary chroniclers speak,
but which had long been missing.
1t is supposed to have been painted
immediatci, after Egalite's rupture
with the court, and displays the
secret hatred and and desire of ven
geance inspired by the supposed
slight he had endured at the hands
of Marie Antoinette. Round q ban.
quoting table are seated a number
of headless figures recognizable at
once as those of the royal family hy
their attire and insignia Of rank. IL
a corner of the picture he piled up
the stiff, bleeding, steaming heads =
that of poor Marie Antoinettt most
of all. Egalite himself
is covering them with royal mantle,
and smile of satisfaction is on his
while Samson, the exc
cutter, is stand by counting the heads
and writing down the numbers in
book. The sight of
this horrible picture so shocked
Clotilde that she had to take a jour.
ney for her health, and has been ab-
sent from all the court festivals.
