Mile Luzgcl, the pretty French

Mile Luzgcl, the pretty French
actress, was recently married to
Prince folston, one ofthe wcalthiest
noblemen OF St. Petersburg. The
Prince popped the question in some
what unusual manner. There WINS a
fair at the st Petersburg French The
satre, for the benefit Of the French
hospital. Mile Luzgel presided over
one Of the stands at the fair, and
Prince Tolston bantcringly asked
her how much she would take for a
kiss She glanced at him rather
sternly, md replied that she would
not kiss any man but her be-
trothed. The Prince passed on, but
returned to Mile Luzgers stand .
quarter Of an hour afterward an said
rather thoughtfully to the young ac~
tress, "Will you permit me to ask
you another question, mademeiselle?''
"With pleasure sir.n oHave you a be-
trothed2n She eyed him q moment
in surprise and said then, with q
blush and tmile, "No sir" would
you like to have onea'' "That depends
on circumstances" she said laughing,
"Well then, would you take me2" So
saying, he handed her his card. She
was greatly astonished, and finally
stammered out that she would give
him an answer next day. On the
following morning he called at her
house, the reply was in the affrma-
tive, and to>day Mile LuSgel is q
Princess.

At a given hour every afternoon
William B. Aston comes out of his
little den on Prince street, turns the
corner at Broadway and with a
heavy step, moves up on foot toward
Lafayette place to dinner. He is a
heavy moulded, large sized, German
looking man, eyes small, hair sandy,
and a face utterly devoid of express
sion. At given hour his two sons,
side by side, for they are seldom sep
arate, can be seen walking from Wall
street to Fifth Avenue, plainly dress.
cd, putting on no airs, sbrewd indus
trious and constantly at their busi>
ness; few would recognize them as
the wealthiest young men in New
York. In o modest coupe, drawn by
a single horse, sits gentleman ap-
parently not so yet, in reality, over
7O-slim, wiry, agile, sandy hair, with
a face of unusual hardness. The
plate glass in his carriage gives you
a good view of him. He sits up as
erect in his carriage as Mohawk
warrior. His quick, restless eye
sees ever ; body and everything as he
passes. That is A. 7. Stewart.

.Daniel Webster" remarked old
Col. Gumpey, as he trimmed q quid 9
number of niger head and fastened
it securely between two decayed
teeth in the left side Of his mouth,
"Daniel w lobster was great man.
There want nothin' mean about him.
I've heard him talk, but twa'n't his
talk 60 much as his generosity that
tuck me, He had q kinder careless
way like, that kept him from gettin'
rich. He never seemed to think
what things costs. I was comm up
the Hudson river along with him
once, andin the mornin' Darnel Web
ster and me was washin' our face and
slickin' our hair in the cabin, and he
took out 4 tooth brush and brushed
his teeth. I didn't see no other tooth
brush around, / borrowed his'n. And
after I used it I handed it back to
him and what do you think !? Why
Darnel Webster Just slung that tooth
brush right inter the river. And
s'pose next day he went and bought
him . new one. That's all he cared
about money There amt no sech
men as Darnel Webster living now,
concluded the Colonel meditatively
as he spirited tobacco juice into the
fireplace at the other end .of the
room. t

Beautiful Extract.

The beautiful extract belowis from
the pen of Hon. George s. Hillard:
confess that incl easing years
bring with them an increasing re>
spect for men who do not succeed in
life, as those words are commonly
used. Heaven is said to be Q place
for those who have not succeeded on
earth; and it is surely true that celes-
tial graces do not best thrive and
bloom in the hot blaze of worldly pros
perity. I'll success sometimes arises
from superabundance of qualities,
in themselves good-from a con-
science too sensitive, q taste too fas-
tidious, q self. forgetfulness too 70
mantle, a modesty too retiring. I
will not 60 80 far as to say, with a
living poet, "that the world knows
nothing Of the greatest men," but
there are forms Of greatness, or at
least excellence, which "die and make
no sign" there are martyrs who miss
the palm but not the stake heroes
without the laurel, and conquerers
without the triumph.

The ATLANTIC ALMANAC, FOR 1869,
EDITED BY DONALD G. MITCHELL.-
The Almanac for 1869 is, even more
valuable and attractive than that for
1858, which won great popularity as
a Miscellany Of Literature and ART
Its Literary Contents are all original,
having been prepared expressly for
it, and combine in high degree the
practical and the entertaining. I9a
The Artistic portion is in harmony
with the Literary Contents, the four
colored plates and tho twelve calen-
dar pictures being original designs,
chiefly illustrative Of American scenes
and customs. The Astronomical De-
partment is unusually full and inn
portant, comprising an account of
the Total Eclipse Of the Sun which
will occur in August 1859, together
with a map showing the portions of
the United States where the eclipse
will be, visible. This eclipse will be
of a more striking character than any
that has occurred since 1906.

The Three Cousins.
From the Clncinnatti Commercial:

FEOm the ClnClnnAtu OOWuoECaoA'
Many years ago there came from Ire
land to America an old Orangeman
in politics and Englishman by lineage
named John Preston. One of the
daughters of this old Mr.. Preston
married q Mr.. James Blair, whose
son was Francis p. Blair, the cider
formerly Of General Jackson's "Kitch
en- Cabinet and the son Of this
Francis is Gen. Francis Preston
Blair, Democratic candidate, ETC.
William Preston, only son Of this old
Mr.. Preston, was the grandfather Of
Major Gen. William Preston, late Of
rebel army, and furthermore there is
q sprig ofthis same genealogical tree
which we have yet to consider), .
grand daughter Of the first named
William Preston married Gen. Wade
Hampton, late of tho rebel army
Consequently, cousin William Pres
ton, the nominator; cousin Francis
Preston Blair, the nominee; and cous-
in Wade Hampton, the seconder OF
the nomination-the deadly foes
turned friends, of whom our Demo-
crat stumpers have been prating-all
of one and the same family, which,
like horse leech, has been holding
on to public office from time out of
memory ofthe oldest inhabitant. Bra.
vo! As in the old nursery rhyme, with
aslight variation, "Thisis the Francis
of many a corn that MIXED the
COW with crumpled horn, that tossed
the dog etc, for quantity, and all
going back to the "house that Jack
built" The nomination Of Cousin
Frank by Cousin Billy and Cousin
Wade, was unprecedented forsooth !!
The family OF Blair alone is power
full III intrigue, but here vas con-
solidatlon Of the clan, by triple al
lance Of Blair, Preston and Hamp-
ton. IN the Silly night before the
great assembly met, the thing was all
neatly cut and dried by these three
worthy kinsmen, TO be enacted next
day, as the most completely success.
full instance of leecing farce, aping
fearful tragedy, which has as yet been
gotten up, even in Democratic Con.
-ventions.
