Paid i'm Full.

The elite of Partisan society is ma
king itself merry over a practica
joke played on the Marquis de Cali
fet, husband of the celebrated beauty
whose many fascinations are said to
have captivated the heir-apparent to
a throne. The Marquis, some weeks
since, went on visit to friends
chateau, where large party ofladies
of rank were assembled. On the
morning after arrival, he was much
surprised to discover that he was
covered over with -four, which had
been sifted over his sheets. Natur.
ally, the heat of the bed had made
this flour adhere to his body, and he
therefore bore strong resemblance
to a miller. The Marquis summon
ed his servant, and desired HIM to
scrape the flour off every part Of his
body, and lay it by with the utmost
care. At breakfast he made no re-
mark upon the strange circumstance,
and remained week in company
with his fair enemies. The whole
party reassembled, a fortnight later,
at country house in another de-
partment. M. de Gallifet, on arriv-
ing, entered the drawlng-room with
a asmagnificent cake, the beauty OF
whose decorations excited the admi-
ration of all the ladies, who immedi-
ately insisted on tasting it. 1t was
pronounced chef dGuu,e Of culinary
art, and possessed of peculiar fla
vor the ladies declared was quite new
to them. "That is not unlikely" "
replied the Marquis, "as it is made
of the flour sifted over my sheets at

A Divorce Case in Prussia.

A single example will explain,
says Fraser's Magazine, what things
are even now possible. A married
lady, mother Of several children, liv-
ing in entire harmony with her hus-
band, an amiable, easy gentleman,
hears at church an enthusiastic young
preacher, and is enraptured by his
eloquence. On her return home, she
tells her husband how thoroughly the
preachers words have come to her
heart. and that she is quite persuaded
it would conduce her spiritual per-
fection to be married to him, and il
she can get his consent, she hopes
that her husband will not oppose q
divorce. What amount of urgency
sufficed to disgust the husband into
agreement is not public fact No
man can like to feel that he is keep
ing . wife against her will, and to be
reproached with hindering her spir-
itual Improvement. That the hus-
band did consent, and that the Court
thereupon did, without further in
quiry, sanction the divorce, is pub
lie fact also, that the preacher made
no difficulty about accepting the ell
thusiastic lady, with her dowry and
her children. We have since heard,
but from one informant only, that,
after many years of union, the preah-
er, in turn, sought and gained di-
vorce from his wife, and that she is
now gone back to the bosom of her
first husband.

Amorous But Unsuccessful.

On Sunday evening last, young
man, whom for the sake of conven-
fence, We will call John, went to Wis
it the girl whom he would call his
own. The fair one resides near the
oa..s.i- Daring tho evening the young
man, of the name of John, was una
BILE to conceal the wish of his heart,
and in tender accents, declared his
desire that the young lady should
consent to be his. He met with q
flat refusal. The ardent John still
pressed her farther, declaring that il
she would not accept him, he would
then and there drown himself in the
briny waters of the canal. As this
threat did not effect the desired pur-
pose, he proceeded to carry it out
He plunged fearlessly in the murky
flood, and waded out until the chilly
waters reached over his shoulders.
1t will be remembered that the eve-
ming on which this occurred, was
none of the warmest. Retreating
before finally carrying out his pur-
pose, John cried out shivering with
cold
"W-w-will you marry me now?"
"NoI'
In he plunged again, this time un-
til the water reached his neck, and
again he halted before the last
plunge.
"W-will you marry me now ?"
"Nor
Again he went in, this time going
fairly under water, 80 far that the top
lof his head could not be discovered
above the surface. But he emerged
and staggered out Of the canal, and
|shivering worse than ever, spluttered
out e.
"N-Now, w-w-will you m-marry
me ?" t-s ..r
"NoW
swell, I d don't care a d-dam
whether you'll marry me or not,
You won't get me into thst canal
again!"
Nor again did he essay his fortunes
in the uncertain deep. Shivering
and chattering with his teeth. he
quickly departed and retsrned to his
home, a sadder and, let US hope, a
wiser man

One day, as Pope was engaged in

One day, as Pope was engaged in
translating the "Iliad," he came to 8
passage which he nor his assistant
could interpret. A stranger who
stood by, in his humble garb, very
modestly suggested that as he had
some little acquaintance with the
Greek, perhaps he could assist them.
"Try it !" said Pope, with the air OF
a boy who is teaching monkey to
eat red pepper. "There is an error
in the print" said the stranger, look
ing at the text. "Resd, as if there
was no interrogation point at the end
of the line, and you have the meaning
at once" Pope's assistant improved
upon this hint, and rendered the pas
sage without difficulty. Pope was
chagrined he could never endure to
be surpassed ia anything. Turning
to the stranger, he said, in sarcas-
tic tone: "Will you please to tell
me what an interrogation is?" "Why,
SIR" said the stranger, scanning the
ill-shaped poet, sit is little, crook
ed, contemplate thing that asks
questions.

Will and Shall.

A note in the Round Table has the
following just criticisms upon the
grammar of American literature:
"Macaulay, in one of his critiques,
says that mot one Londoner in q

to believe that in America scarcely
one man in a million ever fails to

American writer's in one of his recent
criticisms. The truth is, this vul-
garlsm is getting to be an intolerable
nuisance. We meet it everywhere.

A letter from the city of "Jules-
burg (Nebraska, on wheels" says
that in one day recently they had
two street fights, hung man, rode
three men out of town on a rail, got
up quarter race. aturkey shooting,
a gander pulling, a match dog fight
had preaching by a circus rider,
who afterward ran foot race for an
applejack all around; and, as that
was not enough, the judge of the

handed poker, and whipping fellow
for saying he didn't understand the
game, went out and helped to lynch
his grandfather for horse stealing.

"Died Yesterday"

Every day is written the little SEN
tence-"died yesterday" Every day
a flower is plucked from some sunny
home; q breach Is made in some
family circle; jewel stolen from
some treasure Of love. Every day
from the summer fields of life some
harvester disappears-yes, every
hour some sentinel falls from his post,
and is thrown from the ramparts of
time into the surging waters Of eter-
nifty. Even as we write, the funeral
of one who "died yesterday" winds
like winter shadow along the street.
"Died yesterday" Who died 2
Perhaps it was gentle babe; sinless
as an angel, pure az zephyr's hymn
-one whose laugh was as the gust
of summer rills lettering in the bower
of rOses--whose life was O perpetual
litany, May time crowned with the
passion of flowers that never fade
Or, mayhap, it was youth, hopeful
and generous, whose path was filed
with wild flowers with not q serpent
lurking nnderneath-one whose soul
painted for communion with the great
and good, and reached forth with
earnest struggle for the garden in the
distance. ,-.-..'
But the heart is still now-he "died
yesterday"
'Died yesterday" A young gtrl,
pure as the orange flowers that clasp
ed her forehead, was stricken down
as she stood at the altar; and from
the dim dsles of the temple, she was
borne to the garden of slumber."
A tall, brown man, girt with the
halo of victory, and at the days
close under his own vine and fig tree,
fell to the dust, even as the anthem
trembled on his lips and he, too,
was laid "where the rude forefathers
of the hamlet sleep"
An aged patriarch, bowed with
years and cares, even as he looked
out on the distant hills for the com
ing of the angel host, sank into
dreamless slumber: and op nls door
step was written, "died yesterday
"Died yesterday" Daily, men,
women and children are passing
away, and hourly IN some graveyard
the soil is fiupg upon the dead AS
often, in the morn, we find some
flower tkat blushed SO sweetly in the
sunses has withered up forever; so,
daily as we rise from our blvouac, to
stand against our posts, We miss some
brother soldier, whose CHEEKY eye in
the sieges and struggles of the past
has been like dew from heaven upon
our hearts.
Each day some pearl drops from
the jewel threads of friendship--some
Tyre to which we were wont to listen,
has been hushed forever. But wise
is he who mourns not the pearls and
Jewels lost.-Taylor.

A Gorilla I'm America.

For the first time there is a gor.
rills in New York; gorilla like
those of which Du Chaillu has tolG
so many wonderful stories in "Ex
uatorial Africa and "Ashsng(
Land"
The animal was caught in the in
terror of Africa, and was put safe ly
on board the sailing ship Harding
and conveyed to this port. The box
in which it was Gagged during the voy,
age, was made of teak wood plank
the toughest material that could be
found in Africa. A huge cart chain,
fastened to the neck Of the gorilla,
passed through this box, and was
nailed fast to the outside.
From the iarring the gorilla re.
ceived yesterday, during its trans
portation from the ship to the Muse
um, it became exasperated, and
|grOwled furiously during the trip
After the box had been taken into
the Museum, Mr.. Charles Brothwell
the Museum carpenter, loosened the
chain from the outside of the box,
and, by direction of Professor David.
son, attached to it rope, by which
the animal was to be led from the
box to the cage, by running the rope
through the bottom of the cage and
then fastening the chain to q beam oi
the building beneath the cage.
The rope was attached, when the
gorilla began pulling his chain. Pro
fessor Davidson and Mr.. Brothwell
both grasped the chain, and several
men behind grasped the rope, but
their united efforts were unequal to
the task. The animal, with apparent
ease, pulled into his box both chain
and rope, and, antying the rope from
the chain, dropped it from hole in
the cage.
Mr.. 8rothwell then go. the largest
cage scraper in the bnilding-s huge
wrought iron bar an inch and three
quarters thick, to which is attached
a small spade--for the purpose of
bringing out the end of the chain
This scraper had been used success
fully in several contests with the
lions Of the establishment, which had
vainly tried to make an impression
upon it with their jaws.
Mr.. Brothwell and Professor Da-
wilson each took q scraper, and from
ends of the cage endeavor
to fall the gorilla, aud grasp the end
of the chain. Finally the gorilla
seized the bar which Mr.. Brothwell
held. Another man, who is noted
for his muscular strength, came to
the rescue, but the animal proved
their superior, and bent the heavy
piece Of iron double, so that the ends
During this effort, however, the
chain was secured and the box put to
the cage, the animal entrapped, and
his chain secured to the beams un-
derneath.
When standing upright it is about
five and half feet in height, and is
about the color of an elephant. Its
face has more the appearance of a
human being than monkey, with an
eye exactly like that of human be-
ing. Its hand is as delicate as that
of q &oman's, and it would not seem
possible that there Is In 1t such mus
cular power.-N. Y. Post.
