Foreign Notes.
GERMANY has consented to liberate
the French prisoners at spandau.
In order to replace the military estab.
ilshments ut Strasburg and Metz. the
French government have resolved to
create establishments at Perpipnap.
Avlgnon and Quiberon, in addition to
that at Rouen, which has already been
decided upon.
The Emperor of Germany is the
most absteminous of European mon
archs. He takes every day but two
small meals. After rising he takes q
cup of coffee at noon some roast beef
and potatoes, with some Bordeaux wine;
and at seven in the evening a supper,
consisting of breaG, sausage, and cup
OF tea. Persons invited to the Impe-
rial table express.their surprise at its
extreme simplicity.
A CURIOUS discovery. saws the London
City Press, has just been made at the
Charterhouse, in the shape of an auto
graph OF Henry Havelock, when boy
at school. 1t was on the date of his
leaving, and was probably pushed by
his own hands behind the wainscot Of
his cupboard or locker, where the mice
and rats have very considerably spared
it for upwards of half century.
A HOUSE in Nova Scotia was the
source of wOnderment and terror for 4
long time among the neighbors there
about, but bold man bought it and
sought an explanation of the mystic
rlous noises with hammer: He pull.
ed off.a few clapboards, when an expla,
nation flew out, followed by several
hundred more. About . bushel OF
large black bats were discovered costly
making themselves at home in various
crannies of the building, and making
the people decidedly "not at home
by their clatter and noise at night.
That romance Was ended.
PREVIOUS to the execution of Shere
Ali, the assassin of Lord Mayo, many
methods for disposing of him wert
suggested, but the Delhi Gazette
marked out pains and penalties which
are not only original, but, we regret t

MuzzliDg a Wife.

A queer story comes from one Of the
faubourgs of Paris. The wife of a re.
tired gunsmith having been bitten by
her lap-dog, the husband ran to his
collection of antique arms, selected a
cosq"e once worn by knight, cIappcd
it over tho suffering woman's head and
clasped tall for protection, lest, get
ting the hydrophobia, she might try to
bite: The wife became hungry, cried
for food, and her husband discovered
to his horror that he could not find the
spring OF the cosQuc. Finally it be-
came necessary to saw the helmet in
two, and the woman, released but NOT
mad, went for" that husband in the
most energetic manner. VERY

was great indignation at the English
government taking the side of the Aus

zini was much sought for. invited to
dinners, and all that. But he did not
want the dinners. He went to but
few places. He formed an intimacy
with the Ashursts which did him great
good-gave him kind of home circle
for the rest of his life in England. AT
last it has come to an end. I went to
see him just before he left London for
the last time, passed an hour, and came
away feeling that I should never see
him again. And so 1t is. The papers
and people have gone blubberine awav
over hlm-the very papers and people
that denounced him during life, seeing
nothing of the excellence that was in
him; they now praise him without any
perception of his defects. Poor Mazzi-

succeeded. We wait to see whether
Italy will make any thing great out of
