A Phase of French Love.

The Paris correspondent of The Lon
don Daily Nea0s writes: A curious case
illustrating one of the many delicate
phases of Paris life Just come before the
civil tribunal of the Seine. NJ. Georges
Violet, a retired gentleman, died a few
days ago at comparatively early age,
from consumption. On attaining his
majority he formed the acquaintance of a
young lady named Leonie Viteux, who
became his mistress and was eventually
received into the family of NJ. Violet on
the same footing as if she had been his
wife. She attended him during his long
illness, accompanied him to various water
ing places, and drove about with his
mother in her carriage. At length the
case of NJ. Violet became hopeless, and
seeing his approaching end he made his
will, by which he made his mother univer-
sal legatee, on condition that she gave an
annuity of f40 to his mistress as re-
warG for the care and attention she had
bestowed upon him. The poor fellow
died and was duly buried, and Nine.
Violet, his mother, continued on the best
terms with Mile. Viteux until the latter.
finding that Nine. Violet did not proceed
to execute the will. broached the question
Of the annuity. Thereupon Mmc. Violet
refused point blank to entertain the mat
ter, and Mile. Viteux was obliged to 90 to
law. The respective counsel for the
plaintiff and defendant gave, as was per-
haps natural under the circumstances,
very different account Of the young lady.
According to one she was everything that
was good, barring her living under the
protection of NJ. Violet; according to the
the other she was an intriguing little
serpent, who made other victims than NJ.
Violet. However, the will was there, and
executed it must be. But, after paying
the debt and funeral expenses, it was
found that NJ. Violet had not left enough
to insure an annuity Of f40. So, the
court decided that the account should be
sent before a notary, and that Mile.
Viteux should receive an annuity in pro.
portion to the sum that remained to the
good. 1t may appear strange to the Eng
lish readers that Nine, Violet should
choose to wash such dirty linen in public;
but they manage these things, as you see,
very differently in France.

MESMERIZING A COCK.

An experiment which it may amuse the
boys to repeat has been described by sew
eral correspondents to popular science
journal. Place a cock upon table or
board, and, holding his wings close down
to his sides, let second person bend
down his head until his bcak touches the
board on which he lies. and draw line
of white chalk straight out from the point
of his beak. This done, the bird may be
released from all restraint, and he will
not stir so much as feather. "Nay,
further,'' writes one, 'you may clap your
hands or shout close to him, without
rousing himdrom his lethargy, from which,
however, he will ultimately recover" :"
Another experimenter writes: 81 have
seen a row of fowls rendered quite sense
less bv drawing chalk-line beginning at
the top of the beak) slowly across table,
and I have successfully performed the ex,
pertinent. The birds are simply mesmer!

MYSTERY SOLVED.

Some weeks since an article from a
New Orleans paper was published exten-
sive]y throughout the country to the
effect that the crew of the schooner Fler-
ida, which sailed for California from New
Orleans in l840 and was supposed to have
been lost with all on board, had been dis
covered on All island in the Southern Pa
citic by an English vessel which had
been driven thither by continued storms.
The crew stated that the Florida had
been wrecked on this uninhabitable
island twenty.six yearssago, and that in
the interval they had not seen a human
face. They declined, however, to vacatc
the island, having established themselves
in comparative comfort. The mar
rative was said to have created great
sensation among the surviving relatives
Of the crew, and an effort was stated to
be on foot to man a vessel to visit the
island. The CoWrier.Jour7,at of Loui>-
vile publishes an interview with gen.
tleman who was living in Valparaiso,
Chill, in 1849. He states that the Flori-
da put into Port Famine, at that time q
Chilian penal settlement; that the con-
victs boarded her, massacred all Of the
crew, except young man named Mar
cum, and made sail for the main land.
On her way she was recartured by Chill
ian var vessel and brought into Valparaiso
where the Courier Journal informant
got the above details from Mar
Gums own lips. Marcum, whose parents
are still living in Versailles, KY, pro-
ceeded to California, where he soon after
died Of sma(l.nox at p1acorv;1la IN thot
State. The British steamer Thetis had
first seen the Florida after her capture
by the convicts, and gave thcinformation
to the Chilian authorities, which led them
to send out the vessel which brought her
back into port. A revolution was in pro.
gress at the time, and the records of the
event may be lost. but the full details
were on the log-book Of the Thetis, which
may be examined in the Office Of the
British admiralty.

The matter troubled me all night, as an
over.hasty thing, and feared to seesFnH
TRIBUNE and the probable bill. Starting
before daylight the next morning,
bought the first copy in the hands of a
newsboy. and counted 1916 lines, costing
$245 so at that time, when ordinary adver-
tisements were cents and spccials12 l.2
cents line-a terrible dose for literary
man, new in business, and with small
capital. Fastening to The TRIBUNE Office
l paid the bill, and slowly and sadly went
down to my second'story Office. fully re-
solved to act more deliberately in the
future.
The result: The bold advertisement,
conspicuously inserted. attracted the at
tention of the multitude coming in on the
morning trains. Over 100 dropped in
and subscribed on their way to business !;
others sent in messengers, and others call
cd on their way to noon lunch. At p.
m. | had received .226 subscribers from
that one advertisement, and more came
next day by mail. repeated the dose in
The TR1BrNE and other papers. This ex-
perience taught me that if I wanted to
move a crowd with big rock. I would
hurl it at them, and not throw it out in
bits of pebble or sand. From that day

amount spent in The TRIBUNE alone at
much above fifty thousand. He has re-

THE FAMOUS ELCHO SHIELD.
fNew York Herald.1

The Elcho Shield was presented in 1862
by Lord Elcho for annual competition
between England and Scotland. Ireland
was afterwards allowed to compete for
it. Since tie competition commenced
the shield has been won eight times by
England, four years by Scotland, and
now twice by ireland. No eights from
the British colonies or elsewhere were
ever allowed to compete for the Elcho
Shield, the simple reason being that it is
restricted to Great Britain and Ireland;
nor would it be allowed to go out Of what
is called the United Kingdom.
This remarkable trophy is about 48
inches high, and 26 wide. As it stands in
the exhibition tent on Wimbledon Com.
mon, supported on an appropriate pedcs.
tai covered with crimson velvet, the b..
holder would scarcely desire 20 look on
timer piece of workmanship which is Of
exquisite touch and finish. The surface
has a dull tint, like oxidizcd silver
which, in TACT, it is. The shield is divided
into number Of compartments, each one
emblazoned with some brave tradition o
British history. Queen Elizabeth and
t be present reigning Sovereign of Great
Britain are given prominent places among
the bold Knights and fair danes Of, his
toric celebrity who serve to illustrate
certainspassages Of English history. Th,
most artistic chiseling is employed to
bring out the details Of battlepieces which
adorn the borders Of the field ant
figures of men in armor. on horsebacl
and on foot, are made as plain and palpa
bic to the eye as the artists cunnin!
hand can cut them. Battle and hunting
scenes are composed and executed will

this exquisite piece of workmanship il
said to be $4,000. i

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

A correspondent writes us that to drive
any kind Of horned stock take supaA
rope, tie it around the hind leg, between
gambrel joint and foot, and you can haSA
them with ease.
There arc many more tons of hay l4et
annually than farmers are aware Of, from
raking it the wrong way. When c.e
with machine, the grass falls back, and
II you rake it in the same direction that
you cut, you will get all the grass as it
lays back with the tops over the bott<
shingle fashion. But if you rake in the o.
posite direction, it shingles the wroee
way, and instead Of the grass gathes7nE
that i'll front, it slides vver it and loses Il
constantly. But few farmers ever think
Of SO small matter, but the millions Of
spears of grass lost by raking the wrsne
way make hundreds Of tuns.
The best way to mark fruit trees is g
to procure strips of sheet z'nc, eight inch
es in long and half All inch vide, and
write the name with pencil. Bend tie
strip aroupd limb once or twice. La
bells of this will be le5ible for ten years.
