A Romantic Life and Lonely Death.

An old lady died the other day at
Uxbridge. inc England, who proved
herself to have been in more ways
than one a remarkable person. Not
only had she for many years success
fully defied the inquisitOTial gossip of a
country town, but she really had in
early days lived q romantic life, al
though her latter years had been passed
in the deepest seclusiOn. Having been
found dead in her bed, at the age of
ninety-twO, an inquest was held, when
it came to light that she was The daugh-
ter of a Spanish nObleman Of high
distinction. In early life she contract
ed clandestine marriage with the
Count de Chantal, of France, who was
a general in the French army under
the first Napoleon, and who fell at
Waterloo. Exiled from her native
country, as well as from France, she
took refuge in England soon after the
restoration of peace, and lived on her
scanty income at UXbridge in the man
ner described. It is supposed that she
had lain dead for several days before
her body was found, and it would be
hard to find a case presenting stronger
features OF the utter loneliness to which
a human being may be reduced.

Mark Twain on Smells.

} In a recent issue of the independents
REV. De Witt Talmage, of Brooklyn, has
the following utterances on the subject
sOf {" Smells:''

All things are possible with God. We
shall have all sorts of people in the hea-
ven; but alas, in getting them we shall
lose the society of DR. Tallmage. Which
is to say, we shall lose the company of
one who could give more real tone to
celestial society than any other contri-
button Brooklyn could furnish.

l fear me that in the better world we

Infinitely augmented by emancipation

the Master, only difference is, that
he makes it il the nineteenth instead of

Now, can it be possible that in hand
