AIEeACY.-MSny man has toiied
away a lifetime, laying up IN drlole's,
the proeeeds OF his laGaT, IN order thaf

BURIED WITH A HAMMER.-A

BURIED WITH A HAMMER.--A
carpenter named Pierre Rocheau, and
residing on the outskirts Of Paris, de-
clared to his friends that when he
died he should like to be buried with
his hammer by his side in the coffin
that should contain his body.
Why,so was the oft-repeated ques-
ton but Pierre would only smile
and answer:
You shall see. | have always had
a certain presentiment.
One day while saving board the
carpenter suddenly clapped his ham
mer to his breast and fell motionless
upon the floor.
The doctors were sent for--they
looked wise and said, "heart disease"
So Pierre's coffin was made, and he
was buried with the hammer by bis
side, as be desired.
He laid up some money in the
bank-two thousand francs or there
about, and although it was suspected
that he had left will, yet no will
could be found. This caused quar-
rel among his relatives when they
met at his house. Each one declared
that Pierre had often told him (the
speaker that he should have the
money when its owner died. From
words these loving creatures almost
came to blows; but in the midst Of
their quarrel the door. opened, and
Pierre Rocheau himself very coolly
walked into the room.
l have been listening at the door,
said he, and now | have to inform
you, he added, with grim emile,
that being the nearest relative to the
owner of the francs, | shall claim the
money myself. You were in a great
hurry to bury me, he added, as !
always suspected would be the case,
and that was why wanted to have
my hammer by my side. Not being
dead as the doctors declared l was.
and as you were glad to believe, Oh
account Of those francs ST came to my
senses soon after being put in the
coffin, and knocked up the lid with
my hammer. Let every man with
francs in the bank be buried with bis
hammer by his side.

,STovEPIPE HATs.-The New York
Commercial doth moralize about them
thus: g ..
Artists ridicule the 'stovepipe ;
they point out with force and clear
ness the rules of art it violates; they
exhibit its shortcomings in SEM
blance as a matter of beauty !; yet
we defy them to select or devise a
head dress which shall SO unmistaka-
bly, denote the gentleman Of the
nineteenth century, as this. There
is no figure Of the antique, no media
val model whose head-gear bears
such social significance. Ungainly,
unesthetic, uumeaning, when OBJ
served as an isolated object, place it
on the head of man of average ap-
pearance, and his aspect becomes at
once respectable. This is SO, even
with persons whose port is petty.
How much more with one whose
carriage is noble, whose head is we'll
set upon his shoulders whose face
fronts that of his fellow.man with a
self.possessed dignity of mien -
Whatever may be said Of the stove
pipe and it's faults are many, no
man on the promenade can look like
the gentleman of our period with
out it.

SHAKESPEARE IN FRANCE.-A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial relates the following anec-
dote of the late Count de Morny /:
That smooth-spoken little gentleman
prided himself on his English. You
recollect l told you, some years since,
how he and John Y. Mason once un
dertook to converse. The Count
went off in French, and observing
the Judges blank look of dismay,
asked him "ef" he did not speak
French.
"Oh, we," responded the great
American diplomat, "un poo, mm poo.
But your Excellency speaks Eng
lish."
"Oh, yes! A small, a small" was
the happy response.
At state dinner once, the Count,
wishing to show off his knowledge
Of English classics, asked a friend OF
mine which passage he admired most
in the great poet. My friend, some
what taken aback, could think, for
the moment, Of only one passage,
and that was where Othello, about to
murder Desdemona, says: "Put out
the light-put out the light" and
this he repeated with due emphasis,
and good expression.
"Ah, yes" cried the Count, with
great enthusiasm, "Zat is grand
remember him vary well! He
says, Put out ze' light, and zen
put re light out All, re grand
Shakespeare"
