which he held up to the last moment he was
able TO attend to office. AS an Ambassador
he was popular; as Minister, courteous
and afrable. but somewhat difficult to see.
He was not an orator, but if timid and re-

brought with him his new invention, the

pulse but records the pulsations on sheet
of writing paper. Several guests were
operated upon; no two had o pulse alike.
The Emperor and Empress had good pulses,
indicating sound hearts, and promising
long life to each. "But," said the Doctor
to About, on his return, " one Of our states-

perfect health and suspects no danger, but
his days are numbered" Shortly alter

gave him two months to live, and these ex-

man being the Marquis de Moustier.
A PAINFUL SCENE.
On Sunday, in one of the most fashiona-
bic chapels Of Paris, very painful scene
occurred. A wedding party drove up the
bride and bridegroom stepped out ana
marched up the nave, followed by relatives
and friends. A young woman, very re-
specially dressed, came out from the crowd,
and holding baby in her arms, addressed
the bridegroom: "This is your child

his feet. The clergy and others interfered,
and the young woman retired, curslng her
seducer in style that only Mrs. Bateman
could approach. French ladies generally

reminded that even the greatest men had
their moments of weakness-that the Wlsest

merry as q marriage-bell.
A SILVER WEDDING.
Talking of weddings, there was very
rare one celebrated during tho week ut The

friends, drove out with her "gude man"
to pay q round of visits.

first meeting took place in the Grand Hotel
on requisition signed by General Dix
and Mr.. Burlingame, among others, to

not very harmonious, and the Society will
meet again tomorrow. The rumor is again
afloat that General Dix is about to leave

about it. George P. Shear, Of the Rossin

and purposes opening a hotel on the princi-
pie of the "Fifth Avenue" New York,
