| AN INFATUATIoN.-- m,lder name can
be found than this for the habit of climbing
| among the glaciers of the Alps, to which
| English and American travellers, male and
female, are addicted. AnEnglish lady, only
two months married, perisned with her guide
by falling into crevasse on Mount Blanc ON
the I'd of August. Another lady escaped
only by the breaking of rope, to which all
three were attached. The husband, who
had gone hither to recC nnOitre, and who had
enjoined on his wife to await his return, was
recalled by the cries of the surviving lady, to
find that his wife had passed probably for
ever from humane recognition Shivering
with cold, the ladies had attempted to
descend. without waiting for the gentleman
/ impressive funeral services were held at the
English chapel at Chamounix. We do not
find that IN his touching address the chap
lain enjoined upon his hearers to cease a
useiessexposure TO danger, which after past
experience, amounts 10 suicide'

Ithe art treasures in that city, it is stated
Will be dispelied whenit is known that The
Palace of the Louvre is situated about three
miles from any point OF the encience or en-
circiiug wall. tits furthur mentioned that
the detached forts are from 900 to 5000
yards beyond the walls, and that the German
army lies from one to three miles beyond the
forts. It is believed that the works of art
will not suffer except in case street fighting
should commence, when injury might be
done by rockets Eor hand grenades. It is
i mentioned as curious circumstance in the
history of art that pictures have suffered
little by sieges in modern times, The acct
dental fire IN which Titian's 8 Peter the
Martyr" persisted, has, it is alleged, done
more injury to the art of painting than all
the wars Of Shis century.
Two old gentlemen living in one of the
Iar-out country villages of Kentucky, being
at loggerheads, the older of the two forged
the name OF the younger, who was the
Postmaster OF the place, to a letter addressed
to tic Postmaster General, resiening the
toflice and Its accompanying emoluments,
amounting TO S75 year The department
thinking the letter to be genuine, ac-
ceptet the resignation and appointed the
other TO the place. The younger, thinking
the transfer OF the Office without any reason
being assigned a.rather strange proceeding,
Instituted inquiries, resulting in the discovery
