A Slight Mistake.

A Newport correspondence of the New
York Commercial Advertiser relates the
following as one of the mistakes Incl
dent to hotel life-when parties are in
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, a 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 - 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 few down with light and
made a 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-
ualin question, what was her frightand
horror at being assailed with 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 her
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 to
avoid meeting the victim of her mis-
take,

EmancinatiOn 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 $8,000,000 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-
propriates much larger sum, while pay
for each slave is put at a 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.

NJ. THEIRS has made statement
which affords reasonable ground for
hope that the Alsace customs question
may be pcaceably settled. By the
present agreement, Germany, in return
for the payment of the third install
ment of the war indemnity month in
advance, is to begin the evacuation of
French territory within fortnight after
the ratification of the treaty. As the
National Assembly is not to meet before
December, the evacuation will not take
place a long time before the third in
stallment of the indemnity becomes
due. Besides, Germany practically re-
tains the power of postponing the evacu-
alton for an indefinite period to ratify
the treaty. As to the question out of
which these complications arose, Ger
many has conceded the point of reci-
procity as regards French goods enter.

low the new departure, and so makes wry
face after this manner: eff the Democratic
party is to be made to stoop to an amend
ment conceived in iniquity and consummated
by fraud, and to fall on its face before the ne
groes, begging for their votes, the Standard
begs leave to decline the performance of the
degrading genufexion."
Years ago Senator Willard Warner of Ala
bama was left meagre patrimony of $4,000,
one-half of which was represented by bright
colored boy, the rest in money. These were
days not much favoring abolition, but when
the boy appealed to Mr.. Warner not to sell
him, he made answer, Il have no more right
to sell you than you to sell me-" and straight
way gave the boy his freedom.
The Boston Traveller compares the Mary
land Democracy to the sailor who prayed,
"Good Lord" and "Good Devil" to the ass
between two bales of hay; to the boy that
wouldn't eat any pudding because he wouldn't
have room for ice-cream; to the mik-maid
who tried to sit on two stools and fell between
them, and to several other things. The Com
mercial Advertiser adds; ''These compar-
isons are all apt, but if there be any choice
that of the sass between two bales of hay" is
probably most appropriate; for no men, not
thoroughly assinine, could have practiced DO
litica suicide as the Democracy have oore
since the termination OF the war.

this eccentricity in trade is seen in the CITY of
