But there is ne good reason why they should
sink at all. Persons in this dead-alive state

wore black silk dress, with broad open
sleeves, with lace Innings, plain trim
mings, and wide lace collar-a kind OF
Marie Antoinette toilet. Her jewelry
was comprised in necklace with a
small golden cross, diamond ring, and
large golden cross suspended from her
belt, something like Sister Of Mercy.
She spoke without manuscript, but held
her points in her hand, referring to
them occasionally"
Missions operate toilettes are an
nounced by Boston critics to be remark
ably beautiful. The loveliest toilette
she has worn was in the last act of Mar
tina. A petticoat Of sky-blue silk was
trimmed with silver fringe and rows OF
silver braid, between which were bril-
liant buttons. The train of black velvet
was looped at the side by silver and cord
tassels. The tight,ftting velvet bodice
was fastened with diamond buttons, and
the wrists we're finished with deep cuffs
Of point lace. A coquettish gray hat
with long blue plume, was set jauntiiy
on the frizzled mass Of golden hair.
Wayne Reid was once a gallant SOL
der, and distinguished himself in the
Mexican war. He was wont 10 recite
poetry much to the wrath and disgust
of his brother officers. One day he
roared out;
"At midnight, in his guarded tent.

When Greece her knees

shall, why did she grease her kneesY
"What?" You said grease her
knees. Now, the question that agitates
the country is. why did she grease her
knees?" The gay Lieutenant gazed for
| moment, and said sternly, You're a
fool" A duel was the consequence, in
which Ned Marshall, with his usual luck,
got the worst of it.
The young King Of Bavaria has an
immense garden on the roof OF his
palace at Munich, which is said to rival
the celebrated hanging gardens at Semi
ramis. In the center of it there is a
lake with fishes and swans swimming in
| it, and this is surrounded by woods IN
which there are various animals and
birds, and also rock-work and grottoes.
The rocks had to be followed out before
transporting them to the roof, the better
to enable the building to bear their
weight. There is in the center OF the
garden a sort of tent or pavilion OF
great magnifcence, which no one but
the King ever enters. The apartments
under the palace roof were formerly oc-
cupied by the ladies of honor, but they
have been converted into stables, because
too much time was required TO hoist
horses to the roof whenever the King
wished to ride or drive through this
fairy-like resort.

Of the Oldest and soundest insurance com

WONDERFUL BILLIARDS GARNER, the renowned
billiardst, has been playing extraordinary pranks
with cue and balls in Buffalo. The Express of
that city says:
A glance showed the man to be an enthusiast.
From the moment he took the cue in his hand
and rolled the balls upon the table, he was
apparently fire with excitement. His eye
blazed, and every movement was made with a
qnickness and spring indicative of high
strung nervous system. He played billiards on
the table on top of the cushions, in the air and
on the floor. performing marvels which, without
being seen, would by most men be deemed i'm.
possible. Cyrille Dion explained the shots in
tended to be made. To fitly describe all the
wonderful performance would be very difficult
task. He sent his bah flying into the air over
two cues held at some distance above the table
it al hed by some, 10 US, ineXpicable force,
stopped its progressive career without touching
the cushion, and returned with twist and car
omed on the balls at the same end from which
the SHOT was made Then he placed "A hat on
the table, aud shooting his bali over raised cue,
it decended again TO The table, described nearly
circle around the hat, and caromed on three
balls stationed in the corner. Then Dion held
ball in his hand some three feet above the ta-
BILE, and the wonderful billiardst caromed on
that and the balls at different points of the ta-
BILE. He then shot at ball on the table and
hitting it his ivory jumped upon the top of the
cushion and running along some distance car
omed on ball that had been placed there.
Sixteen balls were placed in corner at the
head of the table and rapidly shooting them one
after another about all the cushions, they final
ly came together in the opposite end. These
are only few Of the wonderful feats he per-
formed. He would shoot his ball straight for
the opposite end Of the table, and trayersng
nearly the entire distapce it would, without
touching either cushion or any ball, suddenly
return to the starting point, The master hand
made the ball perform all manner Of inconceiv-
able turns and twists, describing semi-crcles,
the figures, the letter S, and so on, and car
oming on balls stationed on the table in the
most difficult positions, upon the cushions and
even upon the floor. When the exhibition was
