A curious story is aHoat about the
Baron James DeRothschild having sat
for his picture some years ago, to Ally
Scheffer, in the character of beggar.
1t is added, to complete the romance,
that chance visitor seeing the Baron in
the artists studio. made mp for sitting,
and believing him to be what he appear
ed, slipped louis into his hand. The
pretended model took the coin, kept it
invested for ten years, and then sent
back to the donor 10000 francs as the
accrued profit, with q note to the effect
that good action always brings good
fortune. A distinct corroboration from
the giver of the louis, published in a
respectable Paris journal, alone prevents
this tale from being incredible. Perhaps
no more practical encouragement to
charity has ever been recorded, even in
connection with the family whose bene.
Violence hos passed into proverb.

,AKNoEEY- TExH. There 4aass oneo an
itinerant preacher In Wea6 Tennesseg.
who, possessing considerable natural
eloquence, had gradually become pos
sessed OF tue idea that he was also an ex-
traordihsry Biblical SCHOLAR. Under
this delusion, he would very frequently,
at the close of his sermons, ask any
member OF his congregation who might
have "knotty text" to unravel, to speak
it, and he would explain it at once, how
ever much it might have troubled "less
distinguished divines." On ono occa-
sion, in q large audience, lie was parti-
cularly pressing for some one to pro-
pound q text; but no one prcsuming to
do 80, he was about to sit down without
an opportunity to show his learning,
when chap back by the door announced
he had Bible matter of great "concern, -
which he desired to be enlightened upon
The preacher, quite aimatedly, professed
his willingness and ability, aud the con-
gregation was in great excitement
"What want TO know" snid the out
slider, "is whether Jobs turkey was hen
or gobbler."
The "expounder" looked confused,
and the congregation Uttered as the
questioner capped the climax by oxclaim-
ing, in loud voice:
II fotched him down on the fust ques-
tion!"
From that time forward, the practice
of asking for difficult passages was dis
continued.

TRE rDEPTHss on. Enz 2siAss TheRsn.
eral belief that the he'd OF the deep ocean
is as far beneath the reach Of direct ex-
animation by scientific men as the sub
stance of the solid earth at the same
depths, has been dissipated by the suo-
cess OF some bold English Investigators
in directly exploring the depths OF the
sea. It appears that Professor Thomp-
son and DR.. Carpenter, with the aid of a
new contrivance for dredging. have sue
ceeded in bringing mp at different times
loads Of nearly half ton of deposits
from depth of fourteen thousand feet
Tor two miles and two-thirds) below the
surface. There are but three or four
peaks in Europe which are higher above
the sea-level than the sea- level is above
the depths thus examined. The results
of this examination have not yet been
finally embodied in the sciences on which
they bear, but enough hos been pub
llshed of them to show that some of the
common doctrines of geologists and
Psychologists at least need revision. It
is stated that at depths where the press
ure of the water is moro than four hun
dred tons to each square foot, where the
cold is always below the freezing point
of water at the surface, and where not
one particle OF light from the sun or air
can penetrate, there sre beings, animals
of much complexity of organization, and
with eyes MS perfect in every respect as
those of the fishes and reptiles best
known to us.
Another striking discovery is that
these creatures, found in the limestone
mud of to-day, are in oil important re-
spects like those found by geologists in
tho limestone beds Of Europe, referred
by them to an epoch of the earth's re-
mote formative history, millions of ages
ago. But removing their dredges few
miles. the explorers find the sea deposit
ing sandstone debris, and in it are other
creatures corresponding in oil points to
the sandstone fossils which geologists
have always referred to another epoch,
remote from us, indeed, butalso divided
by unmeasured eras from the former.
Here they nre, building side by side
these two widely different classes of fos-
siliferous strata; ''and the discovery that
they may actually co-exist upon adjacent
Surfaces" says Dr.. Carpenter, sshas done
no less than strike ut the very root of
the customary assumptions with regard
to geological time"
The New York Erening Post, comment
ing upon the testimony thus brought ND
from the depths of the sea, expresses the
opinion that this discovery affords the
strongest support to Sir Charles Lyell's
theory, that the past changes of the earth
are to be studied as the result of forces
now in action upon it; that the whole
science of geology is one vast expression
of the uniformity of law; that its final
lesson, in short, is that which was long
ago announced in Holy Writ, ''The
thing which has been, this is that which
shall be, and there is nothing new under

The Quesada revolution, although un.
successful now, appears as if likely to
eventuate in the Independence of Cuba.
through new complication it has served
to develop. The volunteer soldiery.
awakened by tho late, war to q compre-
hensive sense Of their own power and
Importance, naturally enough desire to
have some voice in the choice of rulers,
and, accordingly, have allied themselves
with Count Valmaseda in an effort to get
rid of DeRodas, who is in high favor
with the home Government. Having
already driven out one Captain General,
the volunteere will not hesitate, should
their wishes be ds6ed, to repeat the same
treatmentito the present one. Indeed,
rumors are now current in the North,
alleging that they have already assumed
q hostile attitude and taken possession of
the Moro. One thing is certain-the
volunteers of Havana will henceforth be
found harder TO deal with than hereto
dore. Spain can no longer look for that
UlInd obedience to the despotism with
which the island has been ruled; nor ex-
peet, as of old, to .monopolize its reve-
nues by rigidly. excluding from Office al
persons ot natiye birth. valmaseda has
made himself the hero of the war; he is
already counting popularity, and in
trigueing with the citizen soldiery. Pos
sesaed OF. iinoRdiinete, ambition, courage,
cruelty and inaexibility of purpose, he
is justtbeman to rob Spain of her jewel,
and build It into an island empire of his
own should he undertake it.
