Bazaine's Captivity.

Marshal Bazaine, contrary to what is
generally thought, is undergoing real and
| severe detention. lie is confined within
the fort, and has but the terrace on which
to take his walks, The rest Of the islands
Is tor hidden ground to him. He has no
garden at his disposal, and has been re
ported, with the exception Of few trees
and flowers on the terrace. Nine Lazaiue
is with him. She may leave the fort when
she pleases, says The London Times, 50
may NJ. Bazaiue's aide. de camp, but they
need a special ermisoon from the minis
ter Of the interior to re-enter the fort.
Hence Nine. Bazaine stays as long in tn,
only from the terrace, whence the open sea
may be discovered. There is not suf1i cent
fresh water in the island. and a small boat
which serves to communicate with the
coast brings over the quantity necessary.
Tae ex marshal at first suffered a great
deal from this scarcity Of water. lie war
obliged to reduce his baths in order to
water the flowers on the terrace. Hen G
the aide de Gil mp bad to 20 to Paris and
ask that more abundant supply Of fresh
water might be brought from the mainland

ed to his lot. He reads much works al
the morning, is tacitnrn, apd avoids :,
much as possible showing himself.

A one legged soldier walking up the
Bowery yesterday was accosted by cloth
ing merchant with the u-us! "Sell you
something's tc-day?' Entering the store
the veteran was invited to inspect the large
stock, bat having looked through the array
Of coats and vests and trousers, he turned
to go, saying that be saw nothing there that
would suit him.

Il want a pair of one-legged pantaIoons. :"
''Vos dat all? Yacob, bring me one of
dem one legged gray pants on do. pile in
De corner"
In few minutes Jacob returned and
reported that the last pair had been sold.
Meanwhile the partner next door who
had been listening through the tin parti-
| ton had mapped out plan Of campaign
against Inc onelegged cripple. "Yohn." he
whispered to an attendant, "cut me off de
leg OF one of dem graz pants. Send him
up quick
By the time this had been done the slo-
dicr had hobbled out If the first store only
to be irvelgled into the second. Again be
went through tie insps ction of odds an /
ends, and again demanded one-legged
trousers, intimaiing that he didn't believe
the trader had them.

The newly altered trousers were produced

lost But as he spread them before him he
become conscious, as did the dealer of some
thing wrong
Mein Gott! Fadjer Abraham! John! you
half ruin me! lou haf cut off lie wrong legl"
This was probably the same dealer who
was recently called upon by a young man
for coat. A fit made in due time, and
then came the hagsling about the price
First twenty dollars was fixed, then the
clothier abated dollar after dollar, fighting
inch by inch until at length he had offered
the garment for eight dollars.
':Do you think Pm made of money!" AK

to depart.

Producing the two dollars, the Young man
moved away with his purchase; bat as he
reached the door he heard the dealer e1claim
with uplifted hands:
" Cot help me! | only make one dollar on

Another OF the Chatham street dealers had
