A Plensant story Of the DoinGs Of Pretty
Actress,

A charming little story is told Of
pretty little French actress in one of
the theatres of Paris. While the
theatre was closed for a short time
she made awager, that, though igno-
rant of the English language, she
could travel alone for week in
Hampshire, England, supportingh her
self BY singing in the villages the
fav1rite Ch0nsoas of France. Clev-
erly Disgusting herself as an Alsatian
peasant, a few weeks ago, she sailed
for England, and avoiding Southaml-
ton, where she feared recognition,
she took the train for Farnham, and
with guitar in hand was soon singing
Beranger's charming little songs in a
market village The coppers of the
villagers poured into the pocket Of
the sweet-voicod little Bohemicpne,
and her eyes sparkled at tho thought
of how soon her voice befriended her
in the land of the stranger.
During her rambles she caught the
eyes of II party of young officers from
the regiment at Aldershot, who chaff-
ed each other utter the manner Of
their kind, and threw handsful of
silver. to the little French songbird.
Among them was one who, educated
in France had not forgotten the
sweet charms, of the daughters Of
that sunny land, and became h.scina-
tod with the girls faultless singing
and lovely form Mademoiselle was
pressed to dine with the officers when
the day was done, but declined with
thousand thanks and such grace,
that the young officer became, as the
noyelists say, madly in love She
Travelled on boat to Iieighboring
hamlet, obtained lodging, andeOngh-
ingly counting oyerihe gains Of the
day, wrote back to Paris n piquant
story Of her first days campaign, not
forgetting to mention the ''Young Off
Ger"
Next day the warbler Was heard
again in the streets, aud anew came
her adorer to drink in the sweet notes
and gaze into the lustrous depths Of
her wondrous eyes, and again his
hospitality was refused, but she deign'
ed TO accept a crust Of bread and 3
glass OF claret. The officer told his
love, and begging to accompany her
had for an answer "You may accom

shrugged his shoulders. This wa'

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2
Election returns from the interior are

There are few scatte ring returns from
