This is the latest story from Paris: NJ.
Blanc, millionaire, who came within an
ace of being elected deputy, was returning
from Burgundy by night train. A lady,
young and pretty, occupied the same COM
partment. Now NJ. Blanc, who, in spite Of
his naturally small feet, tries to make them
smaller still, was suffering terribly from
tight boots. All at once he noticed the
lady was asleep, and he could just as we'll
take off his boots, which he did. Suddenly
the station lights begin to appear in sight.
One boot is quickly put on, but the other,
alas does not go on so easily. He pulls
and pushes; finally the foot goes in, but is
terribly pinched. ..
Once at the station, NJ. Blanc hides him
self in cab, and thinks his troubles at an
end. When he reaches the house, imagine
his surprise at finding his right foot in a
lady's boot. The lady had been in SINH
lar situation with himself. Madame Blanc
refuses to believe word of his story she
cries, goes into Mysteries, and finally re-
turns to her father, refusing to hold any
communication with her unfortunate hus-
band. But think of the reception accorded
to the lady of the train when her husband
saw her predicament

ELECTRICAL PHEN0MENoN.-A letter in
the Ottowa Il.) Republican gives the fol-
lowing account Of an electrical phenome-
non:
SIN the engine-room of the Peru Plow
Factory there is leathern belt from eight
10 ten inches wide. This belt is drawn over
two drums, one of which is iron, and the
other, think, is wood. These drums make
about fifty revolutions per minute. Stand
ing in front of and below the belt, and
placing the extended fingers within six
inches of it, the experimenter will observe
a multitude of white rays, which start from
the belt and project themselves in the d.
rect!on of the fingers. For the first three
inches the rays form sheet of. white light,
it's base extending across the band. 1t then
breaks up into pencils of rays, each pencil
converging to delicately fine point. The
points of the white rays approximate at
the tips of the fingers, but never touch
them. On the contrary, the ends OF the
fingers are illuminated with little jets Of
bright yellow flame, which dart out to meet
the white rays. The little flames are lam
bent, continuous, and pencil-shaped. They
are not as vivid rs d true electric spark,
but sufficiently bright to be visible by day
light. If a person, holding his right hand
near the belt, touch any one in reach with
his left hand, he will experience sensible
shock. The fingers, after experimenting
with the belt, have pricking sensation
not unlike the feeling produced by restored
circulation after the hand has been
asleep or when we carelessly NEEDLE with
the poles OF O magnetic battery"

A special from the Louisville (Me.) Fat
Mems Convention of the 21st says: The fat
men, escorted by the Lewiston Band and
a large number of citizens, and led by a
mannikin only four feet high, marched from
Auburn Hall to the Dewitt House for din
ner. 1t was a droll-looking crowd. The
thousands of spectators lining the way
screamed with delight and the fat men
laughed until they were obliged to slap
each other on the back to prevent strangu-
lation. The big fellows who were too fat
to walk were hauled on horse-sled. In the
excitement of the hour it is impossible to
make any accurate estimate of the amount
of food and viands consumed at the dinner,
but the loss was very heavy. The affair
ended with speeches, stories, toasts, and
jollity generally, and the fat men propose
to do so again at no distant day.

take verbs in the plural, and tins certainty
applies to the case before us.

II chair" is collective noun, our cor"
respondent is right: but, unfortunately for
him, it is not. AS to the meaning OF the

the correctness of the plural verb. Never
theless, whether we concede that the SEN
tence as Byron wrote it may be justified by
"poetic license" OF is allowable for any
other reason, it seems to us to be better
than it would be if corrected. Byron often,
if not always, in his letters used plural

Cannon, D. D., of New Brunswick. On one
occasion being accustomed to leave his
secular affairs very much to take care OF
themselves in his higher engagements IN
spiritual things-he bad given an order TO
a horse-iockey for the purchase OF n horse.
When the man called, few days after, ne

began to count out the money. what,
said the Jockey, "are you not going to LOOK
at the horse9'' "No," said the doctor,
a" you say he will suit me; will take your
word for it," This fearless reliance stimu-
lated the Jockeys conscience into unwonted
activity, and, starting up, he said Keep

yet you better horse" and withdrew, to
come again another day with an animal

THE woRLp.-Ah, this beautiful world |!
know not what to think Of it. Sometimes
it is oil sunshine and cladness, and heaven
itself lies not far off, and then it suddenly
changes, and it is dark and sorrowful, and
the clouds shut ont the day. In the lives of
the saddest of as there are bright days like
this, when we feel as if we could take the
great world into our arms. Then gloomy
hours when the fire will not burn on our
hearths, and all without and within is dis
NAL, cold, and dark. Believe me, every
heart has secret sorrows which the world
knows not, and oft-times we call man cold
when he is only sad.
