A short time since two individuals
we're lying in one room very sick, one
with brain fever and the other with an
aggravated case OF the humps. They
we're so low that watchers were needed
every night, and il was thought doubt
full H the one sick OF fever would re-
cover. A gentleman was engaged to
watch over night, his duty being to
wake the nurse whenever it became
necessary TO administer medicine. In
the course Of the night both watcher
and nurse fell asleep. The man with
the humps lay watching the clock, and
saw that il was time to give the fever
patient his potion. He was unable to
speak aloud, or to move any portion OF
his body except his arms, but seizing
pillow, he managed TO strike the watcher
IN the face with it, Thus suddenly
awakened, the watcher sprang from
his seat falling to the floor, and awak-
ened both the nurse and the fever
patient The incident struck the sick
man as very ludicrous, and they laughed
heartily at il for some fifteen or twenty
minutes. When the doctor came in the
morning he found his patient vastly inn
proved: said he never knew so sudden a
turn for the better, and now both up and
well. Who says laughter is not the best
medicine2 And this reminds the writer
of another case. A gentleman was suf-
fering from an liberation in the throat,
which at length became SO swollen that
his life was despaired Of. His house
hold came to his bedside, to bid him
farewell. Each individual shook hands
with the dying man, and then went away
weeping. Last of all came a pet ape,
and shaking the mans hand, went away
also with its hands over its eyes. 1t was
so ludierous a sight that the patient was
forced TO laugh, and laughed so heartily
that the ulcer broke, and his life was

The story OF Jean Vatican, one of the
most powerful in all the literature of
fiction, has been paralleled in real life
6y the adventures of Alfred Eripe. At
the age of twenty -four, Eripe was in re.
ceipt of salary OF 1.45O francs per au.

came in want OF money, and obtained
large sums by several dishonest transac.

served for seven years in an exemplary
manner. at the end Of that time how
ever, he deserted. Tho true Lemaitre
being arrested for this offence, the de.
ccption OF Eripe was brought to light,
and he was sentenced by default to m
additional term OF seven years. Escap-
ing arrest, he obtained, by means of his
scholarly attachments, professorship
in school al Nogent rArtauld, and
afterwards held similar positions in
Bellevilie, Gonesse and Ferc-en Tar
dcnois. All this time he was known as
Lemaitre. aud everywhere his conduct
was good. At the last named place he
married young lady with some pros
poets. In 1868, he lost his wife, and in
three months married again. He was
now established in The world as re-
specialize and useful citizen; but one
day be was recognized by the mau

on that account had been brought into
trouble. The consequence was another

rendered.

A Paris letter gives the following
strange, intelligence: Among the dia-
,monds brought by the Shah are said to
90 some OF kind totally unknown in
Europe. They have all the properties
OF ether sorts, the Same transparency,
briiliancy and hardness, but they are
reported to possess the property of
emitting perfume in an apartment
where many persons are assembled; or,
better still. in that of ball room in
the midst Of the animation of the dance.
These gems are found in remote part
OF Persia. the soil of which is composed
OF ferruginous and oarboniferous strata.
The scent they exhalc resembles that OF
amber, little incense, and special
odor peculiar to the forests Of that dis
trict."

"WHAT KIND OF .ELAsr1o?'-A dry
goods man who is well kuownltor his
politeness, has q fnther who is an excel.
lent citizen, but not very smooth
talker. They were 80 busy at the store
Saturday afternoon, that the old gentle.
man was called in to help. Among the
customers was young lady, who up.
peared to be waiting to trade with him
whose elderly appearance invited her
confidence. Soon ON opportunity Of
tered, and leaning over the counter as
an invitation for him to do the same,
she whiL pered her order. He bent close
to her and said, "What's that?" in. q
voice that started the perspiration to
her forehead. Again she whispered.
"Oh, elastic" said he, in tone that
could be heard Oh the walk, and looking
much pleased with his success. "What
kind OF elastic?" he added, bending his
head closer to the burning fuce Of the
pcrspiring maiden. Once more she
trembiingly whispered. For garters,
hey?' he repeated, even louder than be-
tore, without noticing the horror struck
expression Of the almost fainting young
lady. Something fnncv, I suppose?"
he went on to say, in happy oblivion Of
the store-ful of people; young people
nowadays want things nice. My old
woman uses a shoe-string, and suils
around without noticing the difference. "
Then he got down with tue box, aud
turned to show it, but the customer was
gone. He stool around with the elustic
some i've minutes in waiting, bnt she
did not return, anu it is likely he has
forgotten all about the circumstance

EEoNAuTIc STEERAoE. At the last
meeting of the Eronautical Society,
London. two rather important steps of
progress were reported. One is that by
nj. Dupuy de Lerne, who sends inform
alton that by means of screw worked
by eight men, in balloon weighing al
together four tons, he has been abio 10
cause the balloon to deviate twelve de-
grecs either way from the direction in
which the wind was blowing. This, us
the chairman remarked, would have en-
abled balloons to go into Paris, as we'll
as out OF it. A step in the direction of
motive power, com mbining strength with
lightness, was exhibited in small ma
chine occupying less than square yard,
IN which steam was got up by the use of
gas, in lass than two minutes, to q
pressure of 100 pounds to the square
inch. The machine weighs only forty
pounds, and is Of four-horse power. On
the same principle, it was observed that
another engine could be made of 100.
horse power, that will weigh within 700
pounds. One is ordered for q balloon
that has been constructed for the Fro
nautical Society OF Vienna, at cost of
Gl,200.

The troussenu of young Austrian
bride was seized by the custom house
officials. few days since, and confis-
cateu for non-payment of duty. Our
custom house regulations, as they effect
travellers, are about on par with the
most barbarous nations of the earth. It
is notorious that many custom house in
spcctors are easily bribed to pass trunks
filled with dutiable clothing, and it is
reasonably probable that in every case
where personal effects are seized, it has
been because of resistance to cStortion
or ignorance Of rules, on the part OF the
person SO mulctea. Here is a matter,
also, which emphasizes the demand for
