A case of love and lunacy was lately re-
vealed in Paris A woman of about thirty,
tastefully dressed, and of prepossessng ap-
pearance, presented herself at the Palais de
Justice, and inquired what tormalities were
necessary in order to get married. She was
told that she must apply at the mairie of her
ACCOMPLISHMENT. On this she suddenly be-
came excited; declared with extreme volu-
bility that she wanted to marry the world
in general; that she had been poisoned had
died, and remained six weeks on the flag
stones of the Morgue, watching, without the
power to move, all the corpses placed by
her side, and hearing the conversation Of
the visitors; and that she had been raised
up from that incomplete state of dissolution
by the grace of God. Inquiries were made
which showed that she had lost her reason
in consequence of passion for her cook, a
fine looking man, whose photograph she
carried about with her. Measures were ia
ken to procure her admission into an asylum
for lupatics.

How it came about So That the Goose
Hung Hirh.,s

How it came about ss That the Goose
Hung High.''
A practice prevailed in some parts of the
South, before the war, to have "goose
pulling" irolic about the holidays, conduc-
ted as follows:
A goose would be tied by the feet to the
limb of a tree, just high enough for horse
man, in passing under, by raising in his
stirrups to reach the head of the fowl and
give it pull. The string no. being strong,
sharp jerk would bring down the bird.
Each sport" paid the owner of goose
bit for the chance to pull it from the
limb. If he succeeded the goose was his.
Sometimes it would be hung little too
high, and so elude the grasp of the catcher
as he rode under the branch on which the
webfooted bird was suspended. In such
case, as the horseman galloped past in quick
succession. the remark would be made bv
the laughing and hooting bystanders, that
Everything was lovely and the goose hung
