BRITISH BREAKFAST TABLES.
Pail Mall Gazette complains that Brit
ish breakfast tables are threatened with
a serious disaster, since the French
Government had prohibited the expor-
tation of salt butter and eggs from
France. The Gazette says that while
the agricultural population is diminish
ing, the manufacturing and commercial
districts are increasing in numbers, SO
that the English people will year by
year have to rely more and more upon
foreign producers to supplement the
insufficient home grown stores. In 1869
England imported S35, 900, 900 worth of
butter, of which one-third came from
France. During the five years ending
December 31st, 1869, there were i'm
ported into England, from France, $780,
3S6, 900 pounds of butter, and l, $780,
600, 900 eggs, giving yearly average OF
46, 077, 200 pounds of butter, and $780,
10000 OF eggs. From these figures it
may be seen that the English people
will be seriously Inconvenience from
this embargo.

An European correspondent writes
Amongst the many rare laces I have
seen [ think the strangest was a veil,
given by Nicholas, Emperor OF Russia,
to the late Thomas IL. Seymour, OF
Connecticut. 1t is very large, of ex-
quisite design, and so fragile, so ethereal
in texture that when shaken out and
cast upon the air it floats like thistle
down; it is many minutes before it will
settle in close room, and then whis-
pered invitation will start it on its
aerial travels again. After seeing this
almost intangible creation, one can be-
heye the story of the Caliph's cloth of
gold that was so wondrously fine 1T was
invisible.

A CURIOUS STORY late number of
the Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu
relates the fact that one of the whale
ships in that harber recently captured
whale in the Arctic seas, which had
in it's carcass hazpoon. This harpoon
was known to belong to a ship which
was at that time cruising in the North
ern seas, on the other side of the conti-
nent. The whale had evidently passed
from one open sea to the other by way
of the Pole. He must have found open
water, for even a whale must come up
at short intervals to blow. It lis certain
that the Polar sea is navigable for
whales from one side of the continent
to the other. But while it does not
follow that ships would follow the same
track, the fact cited is one Of consider
able interest. Shipmasters may be
able to navigate the Polar sea when
they know as much about navigation in
high latitudes as this whale with har-
poon sticking in his back.

AN HEROIC BoY.-The two Merriam
boys-Willie aged IA, Allie aged 10
and three other boys about their age,
in the afternoon went to Lake Como to
skate. They were joined on the way
by another boy, not mate of theirs
The ice seemed firm along the lake
shore, where the water is thought shall
low out some rods. 1t was about three
o'clock, when three of the boys passed
safely over the spot, which proved to
be only thin shell over springy
place. When the Merriam boys, and
he who had joined them last, ran on to
it, they were precipitated into
the water. The Merriams
were excellent swimmers, and with
their comrade began to break ice by
chnging to it. But this was a preca-
.rious hope. Their comrades fastened
their tippets together, and threw one
end so that Willie could reach it, and
he was hauled out upon the ice. Just
then came from his little brother, who
had already sank twice, "Oh, boys, do
not let me drown" Willie gave one
glance, and with the words, "I cannot
let my brother PERISH" plunged in to
the rescue and both sank to rise no
more alive. When help came, the other
boy had hold of the ice, but was sense
less. He was, however, brought to.
The bodies of the two brothers were
readily found, clasped in each others
arms.-Syrdcuse Standard.

Again there was another CRY. "a man

Again there was another cry, "a man
at a fifth story window!" I looked up,
and there was G. A. Schaffter, the State
Superintendent of Public Printing,
cllnging to the sill of fifth story win
dow. His feet reach the upper row of
glass in the fourth story window, and
he kicks out the panes. He places his
feet on the sash, moves his hands eau
tiously to the cap of the window and
then descends to the sill of that win
dow. In this way the gallant Schaffter
came from story to story amid
the plaudits of the crowd, by whom he
was seized and carried out of danger
when he reached the ground.
Among the victims is Mrs Kernsly,
the housekeeper of the hotel. In vain
was she urged by the proprietor, Mr.
Luck, to escape; but she wanted her
trunk. Thisl she Fgot, but then rshe
wanted to save something else, and at
last all the avenues of escape were cut
off and she was swallowed up by the
devouring element. Besides this lady
and Hines among the known victims
are Erasmus Ross, famous as clerk of
the Libby Prison during the war, Sam
uel Robinson, of New Orleans, cigar
vender, and Fl. A. Thomas, agent of the
panorama of Bunyan's Pilgrims Pro-
gress; w. a. Pau, of Danville, Va,
United States mail agent, and j. B.
Fariss, messenger of the Southern Ex-
press Company.
The hotel was valued at $40, 900, and
was insured for 100000 in northern
companies.
The Great Excitement of the Day.
The principal excitement In Milwau-
kee at present arises from the fascina-
ton of the gift element attaching to
the Grand Concert of the Milwaukee
Boating Climb. The scheme of prizes
is the most attractive which the laws of
chances permit, affording much high
er per centage in favor of luck than any
professed lottery. Tickets are now sell
ing rapidly, as the time for the concert
and drawing fast approaches, and will
no doubt command as high a premium
before the 23d inst, as the tickets of
the San Francisco lottery did before the
conclusive day.
| Tickets cost but two dollars, and may
be had of the agents of Express Com
panies. Those intending to purchase
tickets should do so at once, while
they are at par. Any ticket is as likely
to draw the $3, ZOO prize as to draw that
of 81, 900, or any of the so p, ICES
Particulars may be seen in the adver-

terprise is in the hands of men of well

cient assurance of honorable dealing

MOUNTED RIFIEAIEN. Is observed
that in the present wal. in Europe the
German cavalry has not made any ap-
proach towards discovering the way IN
which to operate dismounted, SO as to
protect itself against small bodies ofin-
fantry under cover. This deficiency
has rendered it necessary for the divi-
sions of cavalry employed around Paris
to constantly take with them detach-
ment of Bayarian rifemen to clear their
way in difficnltlocaities. So also, when
Groeben's division was engaged in pill
oting Manteuffel's way, and in keeping
his flank clear on the march from Metz,
a half battalion of German JaGers ac-
companied each brigade OF horse, and
for the sake of moving more rapidly,
were placed in country carts impressed
for the work. The English journals IN
commenting upon these movements,
say that the infantry carried in carts
form at best a very poor substitute for
the mounted rifles, whose services as
skirmishes in wooded country, where
long marches were necessary, were
found to be invaluable i'll the war OF the
rebellion in this country.

A JUVENILE INsURREcTIoN,-Galig
relates that singular revolt has Just
broken out in the public school for little
girls in the Rue st. Jacques, Paris, hitherto
kept by Sisters OF the Order of st. Vim
cent de Paul. The pupils, on arriving.
found that their usual teachers had been
expelled by the Commune, and replaced by
a lay mistress and two assistants. All the
external signs of the Catholic religion had
been removed, and the only decoration to
be seen was a red flag. The girls, on re-
covering from their surprise, refused to
listen to the new Corners, and cried out in
new directress endeavored to reduce them
to so omission by scolding, but the oldest
girls, those from eight to twelve years of
age, upset the forms and threw the books
and states about the room. The classes
had, consequently, to be broken up. A
similar scene occurred on the following
day, and order has been only since re-
stored by the absentation of nearly five
slxths of the pupils, the number of those
W 10 attended having become reduced from
$50 to 60.
