A Slight Mistake.

A Newport correspondence of the New
York Commercial AdveriSer relates the
following as one of the mistakes Incl
dent to hotel life-when parties are in
a hurry and the gas turned Off:
| heard such an excellent story, and
knowing it to be fct, | must relate it.
A gentleman and wife on travelling
tour stopped at hotel. The gentle
man was an invalid, jaunting for his
health, and was subject to severe at
tacks of spasms in his chest, which
nothing would relieve but blister, but
in the absence of that, q good hot mus
tard plaster. They reached the strange
hotel late in the day, and during that
night Mr.. - was taken very i'll. His
wife was unable to find any remedies at
hand among her traps, but remember
ing to have seen the castor containing
mustard on the sideboard of the dining
hall, and being reluctant to arouse the
servants, she flew down with a light and
made plaster as quickly as possible.
Now the room she occupied was at the
head of the stairs, on the right hand
coming up, but there was one precisely
similar to it on the left side. Just as
she reached the head of the staircase
her light went out, but wishing to bring
relief to the sufferer as quickly as pos
sible, she went into her room on the
right, as she supposed, and flying up to
the occupant Of the bed-her husband,
of course-clapped the plaster on his
chest. Just as it touched the individ-
ual in question, what was her fright and
horror at being assailed with a strong
expletive, and at discovering that she
had turned to the left instead of the
right, and entered the wrong apart
ment. The hurry with which she en-
tered was not quite equal to that with
which she retreated, and on finding hei
own man and telling him the story, he
laughed so outrageously as to get cured
without any plaster at all. So morti
fed was the lady, however, that she in
sisted on leaving the hotel the next
morning at an hour sufficiently early tc
avoid meeting the victim of her mis-
take.
"WHY is it," saida teacher to scape
grace, who had caused her much trouble
by bad conduct "you behaved SO vel
when you first came to school, and are
so disohedient now?' Because said
young hopeful, looking up into the
teachers face, 81 wasn't much &C
quainted then"

EmanciDatiOn i'm Brazil.

Late files of Brazilian journals contain
the following facts concerning the recent
legislative action in Brazil on the subject
of emancipation One of the bills which
met with the greatest opposition appro-
priated $S,00000O to be used to free
about million and half of slaves.
The ground of opposition was the fact
that this sum of money was too small,
one of the Senators saying that by this
bill only 10000 slaves per annum could
be freed. The bill! as finally passed ap-
proprlates n much larger sum, while pay
for each slave is put at very low fig
ure. By the plan emancipation will be
gradual, only children born after the
passage of the act on the 9th of last
month, to be at once liberated. 1t is
thought that the whole number of slaves
in the empire will not exceed one mil
lion and a half. A majority of these
are IN the southern part of the country
The sugar interest will not suffer from
the change. 1t is doubtful about the
results in the coffee regions, where the
slaves are more numerous. AS the En-
peror favors emancipation, the passage
of the bill by the legislative branch of
the government practically delivers Bra
zil from the evils of slavery.
