CORA'S FOOT.
A VVOman's Foot for sweet Re-
Venge.

Large paper weights of white marble,
representing q naked female foot, have
lately become fashionable in Paris under
the significant name of "Cora PEARLS
foot" This is now they came into the
market Cora Pearl was il September
st Baden-Baden, where she found her
self one day absolutely penniless, having
lost all her money at the gaming table.
A foolish old Cou8t had mercy on her
and became her protector. One day
he asked bis insmoFsta to permit him to
Have 8 marble statue Ilads Of her, She
refused 10 let him do SO, and when he
insisted she finally said, jOcularly, that
be might have her foot which was
smaller than that of any woman she bad
ever known, reproduced in marble, The
Old fool did so, put had quarrel with
Cora after awhile. he then, to revenge
himself on her, had 3 rather ugly female
foot got up by sculptor, OF which cast
was taken and several copies made.
They were then placed in the stores az

TWICE MARRIED.
Once for Fgn and Once for
Keeps.

From the st. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette. l6th.l
For the sake of having a little fun q
gentleman last Saturday evening played
Justice OF the Peace, and welded two
willing hearts into one, telling the lady
that if she would call upon Justice Saltz-
man, in few days, he would give her
marriage certificate. The lady, pre-
sumihg that the pretended Justice was
Saltzmsn, and feeling certain that the
matrimonial knot was legally tied, did
not eell for her certificate until yester-
day afternoon. Imagine her surprise
when informed that she was not married
according to law. Her pleasing face as
sumed the pale hue of the lily and then
flushed 10 crimson while she informed
the Justice of the predicsment she was
placed in. The Justice told her that all
he could do would be 70 nlarry her again,
and last evening the couple were for the
second time Dut through the marriage
ceremony. We did not learn that the
certificate was dated back.

of the measure for some time before q final de-
cision be taken.
The Bird crown-member (Raupach) gave a
detailed representation of the pay and fare Of
the soldier, and how his pay is used. He &C.
knOwledged that the amendment afforded some
aid, but not in reality much.
The 2nd member for Christiansted's country
district (Ratcliffe) stated his reasons why he in
a former meeting had objected to vote for so
large an amount as proposed in the present
pressing times, while he, as generally the whole
Council, had always been liberal as regards the
grant to the military; from the information now
received he was of the opinion, that the Council
ought rather to grant the originally required
amount in money.
These views were supported by the Vice
Chairman (Christmas) and the LIST member for
Frederiksted's country district (Knight).
The Governors amendment was then put to
the vote and adopted unanimously with IL votes.
3, Resolution regarding the furtherance of a
proposal by the 2nd member for Frederik-
stHdS town (Faber) for an investigation Of
the want Of public cisterns in the towns.
The furtherance of the case was sanctioned

(S0turday ReUieW.

A Husband is bound to one woman on
ly, 10 doubt; but she thinks him also
bound to have no affection whatsoever
outside the house and family. If he
meets an intelligent woman, pleasant TO
talk to, of agreeable manner and ready
wit, and if he talks to her in consequence
with anything like persistency or interest,
he offtndS against the unWritten law and
his wife, whose utmost power Of CONVEX
Sation consists in putting IN a eyes" or
"no" with tolerabIe accuracy Ofaim, thinks
herself sighted and ill-uSed. She may
be young and pretty, and dearly loved
for her own special qualities, and her hus-
band may not have a thought towards his
new friend, or any other woman, in the
remotest degree trenching on his allegiance
to her; but the fact that he finds pleasure,
though only Of an intellectual and 8sthe-
tic kind, in the society ofany other woman,
that he feels an interest in her life, chooses
her for his friend, or finds community of
pursuits or sympathy in ideas, makes his
wife py Just so much a victim and aggrieV-
ed. Aud yet what a miserably monoton-
Gus home is that 10 which she would con-
fine him! He is at his office all day, bad
gered and worried with various business
complications, and he comes home tired,
perhaps cross-even well-conducted hus-
bands have that way sometimes. He finds
his wife tired and cross too: so that they
begin the evening together mutually at
odds, she irritated by a small cares, and
he disturbed by large anxieties. Or he
finds her preoccupied and absorbed in
her own pursuits, and quite disinclined to
make any diversion for his sake. He asks
her for some music she used to be ready
enough to sing and play to him in the old
love-makiDg days; but she refuses now.

The tunmol uuaer tho English Channel.

bored through chalk formation. and
though tho actual perforaion will no ensy.
yet the pressure Of the sea upon the

the Thames tunnel, tho water burst through
the roof several times, ami Brunei, the
engineer, nearly los, his life during ono OF
those irruptions Of tho river. In tho event
Of violent storm the danger Of o brcnk

ing to run several miles to obtain refuge,
would have but poor opportunity 10 escape
The difficulty Of ventilating such tunnel
must prove to be very great. But, notwith
