The Blue Room is one glare OF glory,
azure and gold and white multiplied from
mirror to mirror, and wonderful sconces
shedding light over the soft blue carpets,
the upholstery, the stands of flowers, and
the splendid mass below. Your name is

vacant eyes look over you to the next be-
hind, you have passed the President an

Miss Nellie Grant, who last year, with her
pretty hair down her back, capered around
the parlors, now confronts you with puffs
and rolls and pink satin paniers.

astute Baron Gerolt, with his future SON.

the armistice, the French are confined
within the limits of the enciente and the

Illness of General Bourbaki.

How Napoleon Received the News of
the Surrender OF Paris.
London, January S0.-Dispatcbes just
received from a special correspondent at
Wilhelmshohe, states that the announce
ment of the capitulation of Paris was re-
ceived by Napoleon and his attendants
with feelings of profound melancholy.
The subsequent announcement of an
election on the 9Th February, and the con-
vocation of the Constituent Assembly, for
Wednesday, the 18th, produced great con-
sternation and uneasiness among the
friends of the Imperial dynasty.
1t is fully beloved by many that the
deliberations of the National Assembly
will be averse to the establishment Of
the Bonapartists. The Emperor Napoleon
appears very much detected, and for the
past three days has appeared very little in
public.

SWEET indeed are the uses of adversty ;
it may develop unsuspected friendships.
Near Louisville, Ind, recently an adven-
furious tiler of the soil found it necessary
to repair the roof of somewhat isolated
barn. While descending from the peak he
slipped, and rolling to the edge of the roof
was held BY a projecting spike, which
catching in stout corduroy eilectually pre-
vented him from falling to the ground. The
texture of the cloth admitted no hope of its
giving way, the spike wouldn't break and
the poor man saw no prospect of escape
from his inconvenient altitude. For a
while he abandoned himself to despair, or
as be put it, "made up his mind to hang
there until cured like piece Of jerked-
beef" In happier moments it had been
the good mans practice to amuse himself
by teaching fayorits horse various tricks
by whistling. In desperation he made the
usual signal to his equine friend, tied at
some distance from his own elevated perch.
The sagacious beast struggled vigorously,
aud succeeding in freeing himself from his
halter, hastened to the place where his
masters feet dangled from the projecting
caves. The intelligent animal, by stand.
ing on his hnd-legs, furnished a basis for
the mans feet to rest on. As the man him.
self natrates it, he "got purchase to raise a
stock Of corduroy and human flesh from the
spike that held my toes four feet from the
precious soil Of Wabaunsee County"
