The Strasburg Library, which recent dis
patches say has been destroyed during the
Prussian bombardment of that city, con-
tanned about $4,000 volumes as long ago as
thirty five years. As but little progress has
been made in the minds OF the people of
Strasburg since then, it is probable the Ii
brary did not contain many more volumes
when destroyed. 1t was more German than
French. Indeed, the people not only of
Etrasburg, but of Alsace, generally are
really Germans. They speak that Ian guage
as their vernacular tongue; many of them
are as entirely ignorant of French, as if they
belonged to another nation. Over the doors
the signs arc mostly written in both
languages. The honses are thoroughly
German, with enormous walls and sharp
roofs, in which are contained nearly 20
many rooms as in all the building besides

rhe Brlllsh Gentleman Abroad.

A French paper relates with gusto how
an English nobleman, handsome enough,
but dressed in that excessively loud style
which distinguishes the travelling English
man, entered a minor theater in the su-
burbs Of Paris, and took a seat in the
orchestra chairs. close 10 the stage.
Shortly after the performance had COM
menced he drew forth pea-shooter, and
having apparently n magazine OF dried
peas in his pocket, began to pop away at
one actor, who had distinguished himself
above the rest.
The performer bore it as besl hecould,
until the curtain dropped On the first act
He then made his way TO the seat where
the British noble was calmly awaiting
his victim 'sreappearanee on the stage,
and suggested that this amusement was
highly distasteful to him.
Go away, fella, you bore me. said the
British traveller.
The actor suggested AGAIN that the pea-
shooter more than bored him: but the
matter might be compromised If my lord
would pay a hundred dollars for his
amusement. Milford was willing, and
handed the cash over TO the actor, who
returned behind the scenes, having, as he
went around, interviewed satisfactorily a
big policeman.
The curtain went up for the second
act. John Bull left his seat aud en-
sconced himself in corner of the pro
scenium, close to the wing, shooting
away indiscriminately at the performers.
The policeman advanced in a twinkling
and lifted him by the collar. Old ard.

liceman dragged him, protesting. from

Or, in other words, the gentleman who

will invade priVaey to a certain extent,

the subject is a resume Of last weeks his
tcry-as embraced in the many little in
dispeasa5Iities inseparable from a lady's
tout ensemble, together with an index to
the various attractions and requirements
best calculated to awaken and elevate
their interest to the pinnacle of altitude.
Last weeks history of Memphis reveals
a no less amoun Of zeal and devotion to
the object OF Ae General Conference than
unwonted business activity in nearly
every branch of business. In no eontin-
gent, however, amongst the various and
many pursuits, callings or a~voeations
that go to swell the great hum and hustle
of a eity's progress, perhaps there is not
one that suggests itself more frequently,
and with greater force, to the necessities
Of a family than DRY GOODS, nor one
whose management or encouragement
has more to do with the high tone and
character of business on the one hand, or

other.

smiss to bring before such of our readers

me to answer through your paper a ques-
ton so often asked me on the streets. to-
wit: As to the relation II. f.. Hudson,
ESQ, holds to the office of District Attor-
new for the United States Court? l sup
pose Mr.. Hudson was confirmed a has
a commission as District Attorney, and
has had for several months.
On the I4th instant he addressed me q
formal note, stating he desired to enter
on the duties of said Office on Monday
last. the 18th, and desired me to urn
over to him the property of the office. !
replied that such would b dOne without
any warning if a successor came properly

Monday he took the OATH OF office before

himself the District Attorney, and should

the fees of the Office as such, a bringing
