was not conscious of having made an enemy,
he was at a loss TO conceive who could have dis
figured the useful animals In this barbarous
manner, until his wife discovered on the dairy
maids dressiDg-table chignon manufactured
out of the hair of the cows tails. Further con-
ceament being useless, the culprit confessed
that not only had she furnished herself with this
adornment at the expense of the cows, but that
she had supplied a select number of her friends
with materials from the same source, for the
purpose of manufacturing head dresses OF
similar nature, in anticipation of a social
reunion to take place at the commencement
of the new year.
"A letter in the Neue Stettiner Zeitunq. from
a fellow-student of Count Bismark's son at
Bonn, gives an account of the duel In which the
latter nearly lost his life. He says that the duel
was one of those contests which are common in
German universities, and that 1t was simply
passage of arms without any hostile intention.
The students of the university had divided them
selves into parties, and the first challenge of
the session was sent on the nth of November TO
the two sons of Count Bismark and Herr Won
Woldeck rs representatives of the Prussian stu
dents. The fight took place in village about
three miles from Bonn. On the one side were
the Bismarks and Woldeck, on the other three
students of the opposite party. The first bout
took place between Count Herbert and his
adversary. The former received q cut on the
scull, another on the forehead, a third on the
left upper lip, and o fourth on the check; the
latter, too, was wounded in five places, though
not severely. Just at this moment the univer-
blIy DeauleS caue up anu Tue sIuuenIS ulbperseu,
leaving behind the young count, whose wounds
were dressed in the open air, and 1t is supposed
that this was the cause of their not having
healed properly. Count Herbert has been i'll
ever since, but his Illness did not assume dan
gerous form until recently. The student with
whom he fought young man named Nieber-
ding, is now quite recovered.
The Akhbar Journal de PAlgerie of the 28th
of November has some further particulars about
Madlle Time, the enterprising young Dutch
lady who was cruelty murdered some time since.
Madle Time died without will, and her large
fortune passed to her brother, rich Liverpool
merchant. On receiving the news of her death
he sent one of his sons to Tripoli, and by his
means the assassins have been taken, the unfor-
tunate survivors of the massacre rescued, and
some property regained. The body of Madlle
Time, according to written request of her
own, will be buried in the spot where she died,
and plain mausoleum will bear record of her
name and date of death. Mad'lle Time was in
Algiers during the winter of 1867, and behaved
very generously during the terrible period fol-
sympathy was naturally felt in that colony for
her sad end.
Candidates who profess to be working
men" had better take note of the perils of gain
ing seat on false pretenses in France. M.
Girault, deputy for the Cher, has all but been
turned out on the alleged ground that he had
represented himself as a member of the working

There decisions seem comic, but they are cer-
tainly sound in principle.
