An Anecdo,e OF Napoleon III.

A gossipy book just published in Lon
don, entitled Court and Social Life in
France under Napoleon III, has an an.
ecdote of the late Emperor. which, II
true, is very much TO his credit While
Napoleon was in London, waiting his
destiny" he was watched by French d.
plomatic detectives. Three Of these ele-
vated gentlemen so far imposed upon
the exile that be invited them TO dinnet,
asking some of his English friends to
meet them. After dinner the subject OF
horses came up, and the conversation
resulted in the purchase Of horse by
one of the Frebchmen from an English
officer. The horse was sent to the place
designated, but the English gentleman
did not get his money. Prince Napo-
leon heard OF the transaction after few
days, and Immediately sent TO the Eng
lishman a check for the price, saying
that no English gentleman should sell
horse at his table and not be paid for it.
There were swindlers,' he said, :" in
all countries; but, if they made their
way into good society, the hosts which
they deceived must see that their other
guests did not suffer"

From the German Of Herder.l

From the derman Of Herder.l
Adam was nine hundred and thirty
years old when he felt within him the
sentence Of his judge, "thou shalt die. y
Let all my soRs come before me,
said he to weeping Eve, that ! may yet
again see them and bless them And
they came at their fathers word, aud
stood before him, many hundred in num-
Der, and prayed for his life.
who from among you, said Adam,
will 10 to the holy mountain Per
haps he may 6nd mercy for me, and
bring me the fruit Of the Tree Of Life. "
Immediately all his sons offered them
selves 10 do his will, and Seth, the holi-
est Of all, was chosen by his father for
the message.
His head sprinkled with ashes, he has
tened forth, and fingered not until he
stood before the gate Of Paradise. Let
my father find mercy, o thou merciiul
One thus prayed he and send him fruit
from the tree Of life.
Straip phtway a glittering cherub stood
before him; but instead of the fruit from
the tree OF life, he held in his hand n
twig with three leaves. Bear this to
thy father" sad the cherub, gently, as
his last consolation here; eternal life
dwells not on earth. But hasten back;
his hour is come"
Seth hastened back, and threw him
self down before his father, and said:
No fruit from the Tree of Life bring
thee, father; this twig alone has the
angel given me as thy last consolation
here"
The dying man took the twig, and was
glad. He smelt upon it the odor OF
Paradise; his soul was lifted up. My
children" said he, "eteinal life dwells
not for US on earth; and ye shall follow
after me. But on these leaves | breathe
the fragrance of another world-new
life, new strength" l." His age failed-his
spirit fed away.
The children of Adam buried their
father, and thirty days they wept for
him; but Seth wept not He planted
the twig at the head of his father $
grave, and called it the twig of the new
life, of the awakening up from the
sleep Of death.
The little twig became a lofty tree,
and many of Adams children grew
stronger therefrom in the faith of another
life.
And thus t descended to succeeding
generations. Fair blossomed it in Da-
vid's garden, until his infatuated son
began to doubt of immortality. Then
the twig withered away; but its blossoms
were scattered among other nations.
And when upon branch from this
tree the restorer of Immortality gave up
his holy life, the sweet fragrance OF the
new life was waited far and wide among
all nations.

A woman's Write.

Some editor who has been victimized
writes as follows: I'VE shall never en-
gage another woman to report gentle
mems fashions for this paper. We
might have known she would ignominl-
ously fail; but she said gentlemen re-
ported ladies' fashions, and she coulan't t
see why woman shouldn't write up the
masculine modes. We couldn't see
either, so we gave her a carte-blanche to
90 ahead. And such fashion article !
Here is specimen of the ridiculous
stuff: A recherche spring overcoat for
promenade has pretty ribbed stripes,
with three ruffles on the tail festooned
with tassels, single breasted collar, and
rolling flaps on the pannier. A lovely
dress coat has three buttons and pockets
in the rear, box pleated on the hips,
three-ply guipHre lace on the narrative,
gored in bunch and cut boufant. Vest
buttons up in front, same as last year,
and have pockets, with imperial polon-
aise up the bach, and oxidized buttons
in double rows on the collars, with
tab fronts. The tab is cut tight at the
knee, and opens in front or behind, as

Magenta braid around the skirt, with

looms. A gentleman's dress is very in
complete without trousers. These are
of some subdued color, as London
smoke, and should have monise with
the-the-the neck ribbon. They are
cut bias in both legs, with deep frills to
fall oyer the ipstep; the waist is gar
nished with broad band of batiste,
with ecru facings, and buttons to match;

but a Sandwich Islander will see at q
glance that these fashions are frightfully
mixed. Whe ever heard Of trousers be-

LnnRuaEe I'D the Fan.

A Spanish lady's fan has language
of its own, which her eyes are said to in

or shaped, they tell us whether a lady is
married or single, widow, or not disin-
clined 10 marry, willing to airt, senti-

esteems you, and upon what she prides
herself. Flowers have also mute ex-

San Iuan-A nan. peculiar City.

A San francisco Chronicle cores
pondent has beon interviewing the vii

island possessions of that name: He
gives his impression: At the place OF
landing we found one street with about
twelve houses and only one family.
The head Of this family used one of these
ho1ses for the eating departments of
hotel, another Cor the sleeping apart
mena, another for a billiard-roomr
another for o sheep pen, another for a
grocery, another for a barn, another for
q saloon, another for pCstoffce, anoth-
er for a chieken-house, and another for
his own residence; and as bis family
we're all females, aud he had to run the
whole town sll by himself, it was neces,
sary for him to lock up one Institution
while he transacted business at another.

ELECTRICAL Currents.

Mr.. Sabine, in the Telegraphic Jour
nal, assumes that the time required by a
wave to charge a cable, and the retardi-
nation on the time required for a wave
passing from one end to the other to
reach given amplitude are identical
Mr.. Varley, another high authority in
such matters, is of opinion that the
electric current commences flowing out
of one end of cable at the very in
slant the contract is made with the bat
terry at the other end, but that it is a
considerable time before it reaches an
appreciable strength; that it then goes
on augmenting In strength, never abso-
lutely at its maximum force. Mr.. Sa-
bine suggests that the velocity of cleo
tricity is the same in all conductors, and
very great, but that the resistance and
induction OF the circuit combine to pre-
vent the wave reaching an appreciable
strength for some time after it has com
menced to flow out.
