male, living in the neighborhood OF
the general hospital, appeared at the
door OF tie institution and rang the
bell for admittance. The female night
watch, why happened to be in atten-

surprise, d lady entered, scantily clad,
her wearing apparel consisting only OF
night-dress. Her eyes were open
aud in her hands she held an open BIZ

requested to be given to one OF the pa
tlerts in the hospital. Thinking the
woman to be insane, the watch called

what was the matter, put few ques-
tons to the former, when she awoke
with screech, and, finding where she

How TO BORE HOLES IN GLASS. Any
hard steel tool will cut glass with fa-
cillty when kept wet with camphor
dissolved in tnrpentine. A drill bow
may be used; or even the hand alone.
A hole may be readily enlarged by u
round file. The ragged edges of glass
es may also be thus smootlled with a
fat Tile. Flat window glass can rcadl-
ly be sawed by watch-spring saw 10y
tLe aid of this solution. In short, the
most brittle glass can be wrought al
most as easily as wood by the use OF
cutting tools kept constantly moist
with champhorlzed oil of turpentlne.

Grave Charges Against Grant.
HE IS ACCUSED OF PUTTING HIS HOUSE
SERVANTS ON THE ARMY ROLLS AND
HAVING THEM PAID WITH PUBLIC
MONEY.

Manifest improprieties in the man
ner Of providing help at the White
House having called tor Investigation,
which is to receive the serious atten-
ton of Congress by a resolution call
ing for information from the Secretary
of War, it will first be inquired by
what authority enlisted men, whose
names are on the rolls of the army, ate
serving there in menial capacities, and
the public will want to know who is
responsible for this violation of official
integrity, not to say OF the law. It
may be asked with some pertinenee
whether men have been employed
there in various duties from that of
messenger to cook, and from that of
house rervaut to barber, who draw
their pay, ranking as scrgeants aud as
high as captain. Rumor has it that
when these former were placed in the
Executive Mansion they were ranked
as privates; but the pay not being
sufficient, in their own estimation aud
that of their employer, they were pro-
noted by the Secretary of War, on the
Recommendation of their employer, TO
be sergeauts, so as thus to be enabled
to draw increased pay for their lmpor-
tant and useful callings. And in the
case of the cook, us every one knows,
no second class hotel here can secure
the services of q good French or Ger
man cook at rate of wages less than
| frnm Sinn tO S175 npr month. OF
course the pay of sergeant would new
Ell meet the requirements of the au-
gust rnnctionary who performs the del
Icate task of catering to the refined and
sensitive epicurean palates of the '..ta-
mile royalc," and so it is said that this

rank of captain, with may proper, so

MIR. Cushins's Nomination.

cate Of the slave power, rs u Wing who

Northern people detested in all these
capacities Mr.. Cushing has distinguish
ed himself. 1t can scarcely ce his
achievements in these directions which
have moved the President to select
him as Chief Justice.
When we get a Chief Justice of Sc
cessinnist proc|iv,ties in the Supreme
Court it may fare badly with General
Grant himself. The entire proceed
Jugs of Congress since the war NAV be
called in question. 1t is said that Mr..
Cushing will be acceptable to tue bar.
We do not suppose the Democrats will
oppose him. There is no reason why
they should do so. But for own part,
we are unable to explain or justify Mr..
Cushing's nomination, and therefore
we do not attempt to do either. We

THE FRENCH PREMIER.

Premier Duke lie Brogie is a high and
mighty nobleman, aged hfty-two, who
springs from family Of Italian extrac-
ton, which omigrated to France in
the train Of Cardinal Masatin, during the
seventeenth sentuary. His grea; grand
father WAS the tolorably famous Marshal
de Broglie, the only one of tho prerevolu-
tionary Marshals Of France who outlived
the frs. Republic and part Of the reign
of Napoleon. Disguised at the rev.
olution, this sturdy warrior noble went of
to Munster, heaping maledictions on his
| son, the present dukes grandfather, who
not only embraced the principles Of the
tho revolution, but had the honor Of being
guillotned in the cause of moderate liberal
theories Tha newt dnte who died but
three years, ago was nobleman OF great
attachments and sound patriotism. lie
was twice foreign secretary during tie
reign of Louis Phillip, and took fore
most rank among the men who endeav-
orod to give France stable eonsti-
tutional monarchy like that of England.
Until recently it was supposed that he
had bequca,hed his liberal opinions to his
son, blu. the present duke, after starting in
life as a moderate royalist, friendly TO the
liberty Of the press and to parliamentary
government, has tackled about ard taken
up with legitimist ideas Of the mos. big
oted type. He WAS the prime wire.pullor
in the parliamentary cabal which over
threw NJ. Theirs, and he lent active assist
ance to all the intrigues set on foot TO re-
store Henry V. In person be is handsome
but slightly efeminate, being natty in his
dress, honeyed In manners, and
addicted to dulcet, quavering
method of speech, 1t should DO remem-
bered that his name is pronounced
"Broill, and not "Brogilo" as it is writ
ten also that he plumes himself upon
being very correct and erudite author.
He is a member Of the Academic Fran
caise, has contributed a great number of
historical essays to the Revue des Deux
Mondes and may be said to have literary
blood in his veins, for his mother was the
only daughter of the Nine. de Stael. The
Duke dc Brogile is married, and has sew
eral children, the eldest of whom-a son
of twenty-two--w wounded in fighting
against the Commune. This young
Prince Victor dc Broglie, is HE .tnN1,,
