A LITTLE STORY. The following anec'
dote, related by Monster Ledru Rollin,
who was minister during the late inter.
mede of Republication in the French
nation, is amusirgly illustrative
The moment I was installed, l was thus
made to assume sucL an existance as the
r~oyalist minister who preceded me. The
usher came upon me and said, in a most
dignifed and matter.of-fact way
"The Citizen Minister will of course
receive bis subaltern to-day r.
I consented.
"And tomorrow the Projects who may
he in Paris 7"
"Oh | very we'll"
"And on the third day the members Of
The press 7"
Just as you say"
"And I would remind your Excellen.
cy that we must receive on Friday eve
nings."
"But l."
"That was bis former Excellency's
day
"Oh | very well, then"
"And on Thursday We must give our
FIRST grand dinner"
What was there to be objected to in
this I adds N. Rollin |; and remarks some
q here : Thus for nearly . century
there has been but one Minister of the
Interior in France under different names.

A SHARP M1psH1pxAN.-On board Ad-
miral KS flagship, on the North Amer.
can Station, there was as wild q set OF
midshipmen as ever vexed the spirit of a
fret lieutenant. One in particular nam
ed Frank, was always in trouble for some
daring breach of discipline. One day
Frank had been mastheaded as usual for
punishment, and just as bis four hours
had expired he took it into his head to
sing out " sail no p "Wbere away?'
instantly demanded the officer of the
watch "Three weeks ahead" replied
the daring youngster, on answer which
caused a general laugh throughout the
ship. Admiral X. was on deck, and
highly incensed at such a fragrant breach
of discipline and want of respect for his
superior officer On the part of the young
gentleman, he called him down, and hav-
ing severely reprimanded him. ordered
him to ascend again to his post OF pun.
ishment and remain there until called
down by the officer of the watch. Now
it happened that a new lanyard had been
put into the mizzen rigging that morn.
ing, the tar on which was not yet dry,
and as Frank got into the rigging, the
Admiral's back being turned towards
him, he contrived, without being observ-
ed. to wet the tip Of bis finger with the
tar and gently touch the gold epaulette
on the Admiral's shoulder. Arrived at
his elevated post he sat for some time
very quietly, till he thought the Admiral's
anger had cooled off a little. when he
called out, on deck there" "What do
you want now ?" growled the Admiral.
"There is a spot of tar on your epau-
lette, sir" said the youth, grinning to
himself. The Admiral turned his head,
and sure enough the centre of his epau-
lette was defled by round spot of "pure
Stockholm" He guessed the trick at
once, but he dearly loved a joke and this
so pleased him that he called out, come
down, boy, come down ; if you can see
a spot of tar on my epaulette at that
distance, you car see q sail three weeks
ahead"
