The French MarshaIs

Marshal Bazaine, contrary to what is generally thought, is undergoing real and severe detention. He is confined within the fort, and has but the terrace on which to take his walks. The rest of the island is forbidden ground to him. He has no garden at his disposal, as has been reported, with the exception of few trees and flowers on the ter race. Madame Bazaine is with him. She may leave the fort when she pleases, says the London Times, so may M. Bazaine's aid-de-camp, but they need special permission from the Minister of the Interior to re-enter the fort. Hence Madame Bazaine stays as long in the prison as possible. The view is extensive only from the terrace, whence the open sea may be discovered. There is not sufficient fresh water in the island, but small boat which serves to communicate with the coast brings over the quantity necessary. The ex-Marshal at first suffered great deal from this scarcity of water. He was obliged to reduce his baths in order to water the flowers on the ter race. Hence the aid-de-camp had to go to Paris to ask that more abundant supply of fresh water might be brought from the mainland, Q request which was at once granted, to the great joy of the prisoner. Bazaine leads very uni form life and seems resigned to his lot. He reads much, walks all the morning, is taciturn, and avoids as much as pos. sible showing himself.

An Eccentric Farmer.

The New York Sun tells the story of an Orange county farmer who con- siders his mission in this world to be the provision of coffins and cemeteries for his own household pets and those of his neighbors. Not long ago he came into burial-case manufactory in New York and desired to examine the stock of iron coffins. He explained that he wished to purchase three, one for his niece, another for his dog, and 8 third for the cat. None of the three were dead, but he thought they might be some time, and cofins would then prove convenient. He showed no par
 tiality in the purchases, buying three elegant and costly cast-iron caskets of appropriate sizes. This eccentric farmer said he could think of no better way of spending the competency which he had earned by life of hard work than by providing burial ground for his own favorites and those of his neighbors. By the terms of his will, drawn up some years ago, he had left large por- tion of his farm to be devoted exclu- sively to this purpose. Here he had already buried several horses and erected grave-stones over them. It was open to all, and any one losing a favorite dog or cat was at liberty to bury it in his cemetery. Some people thought he was mad, and eighteen years ago, when he purchased the me- tallic coffin intended for himself, so many persons called to see it that the girl who kept house for him refused to remain. He had no greater friend on earth than his cat, unless, perhaps, it was his dog. When he bought the coffin for himself he had fixed the day on which he was to occupy it, but after ward forgot about these arrangements, and was found selling potatoes in New burg when by his own calculations he should have been on his deathbed.

How a Whip.Snake Fights.

Reader, did you ever see a whip snake? We did not, says Missouri paper, but we heard of one. A short time since, while MT. James Christian was returning to his mines, he encoun- tered whip-snake five feet long. In trying to kill it the snake turned upon him and made 8 desperate fight. It struck at him repeatedly with it's tail, cracking it like whip. After killing it MT. Christian made an examination of the serpent" Its length was fully five feet, two of which were plaited like carter's whip. The plait seemed to consist of four strands, and tapered down to what might be termed crack CT. This species of serpent is exceed ingly rare (but we should think lively, ) and many naturalists doubt it's exis- tence anywhere, but as MT. Christian is gentleman of undoubted veracity, it is certain that, in addition to it's many other rare attractions, Morgan county has, or had, the whip-snake.

Gambling for a Verdict.

In the case of Joyce vs. The State, tried and found guilty of murder in the Madison Circuit Court of Illinois, and sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary, new trial was awarded for the manner in which the verdict of the jury was obtained, orwhat is termed |" gambling" verdict. Each juror put down the number of years he was for imprisonment, and the sum was di- vided by twelve, and the result was eight and this fact was disclosed by the testimony of two of the jurors. The practice is common among juries in all sections, and many verdict that was so settled would make a new trial necessary were the facts of the finding known to the court.

In His Ear.

A curious thing happened to law yer in Willimantic, Conn. John L.. Hunter-that is the name-who has been deaf in his left ear for some years, went to. 8 Boston aurist the other day, and he took from it bug as large as 8 honey-bee. MT. Hunter hadn't the slightest idea what was the trouble with him, but was informed before the operation that there was something foreign in the organ and after the bug was taken out the physician told him that it had been in there fifteen years probably, and that when it got in it must have caused great pain. MT. Hunter, after racking his brain while, remembered that one night in 1861 he was walked by intense pain in his ear, and that he stopped it by pouring in oil. The oil operated, of course, by killing the insect.

Gn0lf p0S1JtOn. & LII 1ace, they QOn seem to feel it, and as they arevolun-
 tary inmates and not prisoners in any sense, nor under the ban of charity,
 there is no particular reason why they should be humilitated. except at their own weakness, and this certainly does not oppress them extraordinarily. The main trouble with these men seems to be inactivity. Being generally people of some activity in life, and often busi- ness men with family interests depend | ing upon them, the silent laz:ness of this place bears them down. They have absolutely nothing to do but eat, drink and sleep. They don't appear to have any particular amusements among themselves, but wander about or sleep during the day in a kind of listless, stupid torpor, which becomes, no doubt, unbearable after time
 They have nice rooms of their own, good parlors, pleasant grounds. They can even go or come when they please within reason. But all this palls upon them. They want one thing which they do not get. Not being prisoners, but free agents, they can really get it when they please; not, to be sure, within the grounds of the Home, but when they go to the city. This desire comes on them at times so strongly that hu- man nature seems not strong enough to resist it. Sober as they are, gener- ally we'll dressed, and always we'll be- haved, they have that strange, vacant and half stupid look of the inebriate, the absence of the light of an intelli- gence which once reigned supreme, but seems to have departed for ever. The poison of alcohol has taken the bright light from their eye and the expression from their face. There is 8 general flaccidity of muscle, want of determi- nation in their every moment, which ia
