Yankee Enterprise.

Among the cable dispatches lately was
u statement that an American had offered
to purchase the residence of the late Mr..
Dickens, at Gad's Hill, for 100000. 1t
is fact that scme years ago Mr.. P. 7.
Barnum, then in England, made an offer
for the Shakespeare House, at Stratford-
on-Ayon, and came very near buying it.
1t was then private property, was occupied
by butcher, and was in very decayed
and tumblc-down state. The matter went
so far that it was understood that Mr..
Barnum's offer was accepted. Then the
story got into the papers. All England
was aroused. A Yankee Snowman was to
become proprietor of the birthplace of
Shakespeare. He would take money for
entering in at the door; or worse yet
and this was the generally accepted theo-
ry-be would take the house down and
off to America, set it up in his museum
Or on vacant lot in New York, and Eng-
land would lose one of its choicest treas
uros. All this talk in the papers led the
Shakespeare Association to take steps to
secure the property, and in little while
they actually raised money enough by
subscription to buy it.-Baliimore san.

cause of the Stuart dynasty, and shared
the exile Of James II.
To him will probably be assigned the
chief command Of the French armies.

military school of St. Cyr in 1925, gradu-
ated in 1880, and assigned to duty in AL

bert as General of Division, and lead the
assault upon Shclakof, by which he earned
the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor
In 1856 he was made Knight of the Grand
Cross of the Order of the Bath. He won
the victory of Magenta in 1856, and thus
obtained his present title. He was the rop-
resentative of France at the coronation of
Frederick William, of Prussia, was ap-
pointed to the command of the third corps
Garmecs in 1862, and made Governor
General of Algeria, in 1864.
The present French minister of foreign
affairs is Batoino Alfred, Duke dc Gram
mont, formerly Duke de Guichc, and since
the death of his father Prince dc Bidache.

technic school in 1886, in 1852 was sent

The Foolishness Of Fashion.

A French paper says that loOsening Of
the teeth, gloudular swellings and fetid
breath are among the consequences of using
the mercureal and arsenal preparations by
which "blonde" hair is made is made from
black and brown hair. And now comes a
story that young lady in New York has
hair of rather reddish cast, and has been
in the habit for year past of using ha
dye. a short time since her arms, hands
and part of her body were paralyzed. The
poison in the dye had mingled with her
blood. She is recovering, but will lose
the use ofh right arm and hand. Fash

Will the Cards Prove Liars2

One hot afternoon in the month Of ku-
gust, 1867, three men sat around a table
in private bar or at the hotel Darmstadt
at Ems, Germany, taking such comfort as
they could derive from the juice of Rhen-
ish grape and a pack of cards. The most
conspicuous figure of the group was large
man with bald head, greyish eyes, a hea-
w light colored mustache and an air about
him that would have done honor to the
Imperial purple. This parsonage had even
then achieved some fame, and was tolera-
bly, we'll known to reading people by the
name Of Bismark. Next to him sat an
other bald-headed individual, inferior to
Bismark in stature, with border of black
hair about the base of his skull that look
cd like the rim of an old felt hat truth
lessl ly robbed of its CROWN condemned to
remain there as permanent fixture. Dur
ing the Crimean war the father of this
man figured at the cabinet councils at st.
Petersburgh as Count NesselrOde, but the
son was only known as clever gamoster
and an habitue of the fashionable Europe
an watering places. The third member
of the party was little fellow $50 little
that his feet scarcely touched the Aoor,)
with dark, piercing eyes, swarthy skin, and
yivacity enough for half dozen ordinary
men. AT the time of which we speak, he
was the French Consul at Stuttgard. All
of them had been partaking freely Divine,
and each in turn shufFled the cards with
pim that the generous grape imparts even
to the most phlegmatic temperament.
The Frenchman, in the interludes of the
play, kept up running fire of cOnyersa-
tion, skipping from topic to topic with
facility which only Frenchmen enjoy, un-
til, warming as he went on, he yenturod
the declaration that France would one day
mark her boundary by the Rhine from
Basle to the sea:
ga hundred Frederieks to fifty" ex-
claimed NesslerOde, "that she won't"
"Done," rejoined the Frenchman Sand
let the game be the fortune teller"
They shuffied the cards, and the Frach-
man lost.
"Another wager p' said Nesslerodo, with
glance at Bismarck, who eyed his two
companions calmly, though never uttering
single word ''Another wager! Two
hundred and fifty that within five years
France and Prussia measure swords, and
that France yields Alsace and the whole
disputed border"
"C'sst impossible :" excitedly respond
ed the Consul.
Again the cards were shufled. At the
fourth play Bismarck and the Frenchman
had each taken two tricks. 1t was the
Russians lead. He threw the Queen Of
Clubs upon the table.
"King !" shouted the Frenchman in tri-
umph, as he covered NesselrOde's card, and
casting the ace, he leaned back in his chair
and laughed heartily. .
"yMon Dieu :" shouted the discom6tted
player, "but cards were always liars" and
unable to conceal the Chagrin and excite
ment that overmasterea him, he rose from
the table and quilted the room.
Three years have scarcely elapsed since
the little incident here related, IAN Incl
dent which Nesselrodo told with hearty
satisfaction in the Ems cafes that summer)
and now the big cloud of war that hoyers
over Europe may burst, to prove that
cards are not such liars after all.

f7th inst, in the SOth year of bis age.
Judge Longstrect was man of varied
talents and mental accomplishments. lie
was eminent as jurist, an able and eaec-
two advocate, an eloquent divine, and one
of the most successful writer's ofhumorous
fiction that the South has produced. For
many years ho has lived retired from pub

sively to the education of youth in the
Mississippi University, of which he was
President, VIC believe, up ts the time Of
his death. His "Georgia Scenes" put the
whole world to laughing when it appeared
some thirty-fve years ago, and he has left
several grayer works to perpetuate hi
