the charge for apartments, which, out OF the
season, are very much lower all over London.
In Paris, IN the same month, similar family
to that just mentioned were at the Hotel Bris-

bedrooms on the entreso, one flight Of stairs

Humble Gretchen.

In this distracting world of pride.
TITS sweet, beyond all doubt.

Young Gretchen ssuerkrsut.
she was trlhe stouter than
Would please the general taste;
She tied her apron where she chose;
she had not any waist.
Her cheeks were round as oranges,
Aud bright the blush lhey wore.
Her yellow hair hung down IN braids
That nearly touched the door.
she aid not wear trailing dress,
But let, with much good sense.
Her modest robe reveal her feet
Which truly were Immense.
And then her srms-how huge they were.
How rich reddish brown,
How dchcately covered with
gentle yellow DOWN.
And being so ponderably fair.
30 rus lcally stout,
An humber maiden never breathed
Than Gretchen sauerkraut.
There was a certain widower. Hans,
Who owned a farm near by;
HIS lager.yiney yards were superb.
And he was spruce ana spry.
He loved our buxom young Frlulein
With love quite uncontrolled
But Gretchen woul d not look on him,
She was too humble-soued.
81 am not proud" the maiden said.
Though people call me falri
30 let me marry gentle Max,
The eel.man IN the square"
''Meln Gott mem Gott :" cried widower Hans,
"Your strange words turn me cold"
But Gretchen only bushed and said;
81 am 80 huulbie.souled."
Then on both knees dropt widower nanl
And made this wild appeal:
"Athuugh an eel. man n your love.
Behold now man knoel!'
30 amorous punstcr,' Gretchen said.
" In mercy's name fprbosr'-

The eel man IN the Square.

But Gretchen never Tits Inn back,

Niagara After a Gale.

The Suspension Bridge IN. ~ Jour-
nal gives the following interesting de-
scripfion of gale Of wind at Niagara
falls and its effects An incessant gale
from the north and northeast caused a
wonderful change in the Niagara river,
and the falls presented an appearance
such as has not been witnessed since the
year 184S. Many of our citizens, and
more especially. the visitors who hap.
pened to be in town, rushed from point
to point viewing the wonderful sight.
The huge rocks below the American
falls that are usually covered with water
from fifteen to twenty feet deep, were
bare, and stuck out like mountains.
William Glassbrook, the old ferryman,
said he could have walked from the en-
trance to the "Shadow of the Rock " up
to the "Cave Of the Winds in front OF
the American falls without danger. The
river between Goat island and Prospect
park, where the water usually runs more
than twenty miles an hour, was checked
to such an extent as to be wadable any
where without the slightest assistance.
But the grandest view of all to behold
was the great Horseshoe fall. This had
lost fully two. thirds of itsimmense body
of water, and was compared by many
with an ordinary millpond. The stream
Immediately above Table rock and fal
beyond Streets island, distance ot
more than four hundred feet, presented
one solid bed of rock, but hardly droI
of water. The place just opposite,
where the old Terrapiu tower formerly
stood, corresponded very much with
that already described, and the handful.
of water that remained, comparatively
speaking, was forced through the deer
channel in the center, which forms the
Horseshoe.

The Boston Massacre Of 1770.

The following account OF Warren's
address on the massacre anniversary,
one hundred and one years ago, is from
the diary OF an English officer. It has,
if we are right, never been printed until
now: -.
"MARoH 6. .,1775. This day an oration
was delivered by DR.. Warren, q notorl7
GUS whig. at the great South meeting,
opposite the governors house. It'was
in commetnoration of what they term
the s Massacre - on the fifth Of March,
ITO. Itwas known for some days tnat
this was to be delivered. Accordingly q
GREAT number of officers assembled at
#, when, after. be had finished q 'mostse-
ditious inHammatory harangue, John
Hancock stood up and made Q short
speech in the same strain, at the end Of
which some Of the officers cried out
sFie fe!' which, being mistaken for
the CRY. of fire, an alarm Immediately en-
sued, which filled the, people with such
CONSERVATION that they were getting out
as fast as they could from doors and
windows. It. was imagined that there
would have been q riot, which, If there
had, would, in. all probability, have
proved fatal to Hancock, Adams, War
rem and the rest Of those villains, asthey
were all up in the pulpit together. and
the meeting was crowded with officers
and seamen in such a manner that they
could not have escaped. However, il
luckily did not turn out SO; it would in.
deed have been Q pity for them to have
made their exit in that way, as I hope
we shall have the pleasure before long
Of seeing them do it by the hands Of the
hangman." "@ '..1! 7':.:

IMAGINATION ana Disease.

The influence of the Imagination ID
the similation of disease has often been
proved, 1T WAS in France, we believe,
that an experiment was made upon q
soldier who, being condemned to die tor
some infraotion Of military discir Line,
was handed over to the scientists as a
living subject. he was placed In hos
pital and told that all around him were
patients suffering from smallpox. Al
though this was not true the man was
soon taken violently sick and displayed
every symptom of the disease. Instan-
ces tending to establish this re-,
markable domination Of the mental
faculties over the body are not rare, and
a story is going the round OF the news
papers which may be cited IN this con-
nection
a young man in Indianapolis went
into q drug store and asked for ffty
cents worth of strychnine. The drug
gist gave him harmless powder and ne
swallowed it. He then explained that
his affections had been blighted and he
had taken the poison to get even. The
druggist told him that there was not
fifteen minutes Life in him, and that ne
was beginning to fade about the eyes al.
ready The youth sunk to the floor and
the sweat streamed from his brow. He
was becoming very sick, mentally as
well as bodily, and appeared to be dy;
ing. The medicine man became alarmed
at the effect of the dose, and examined
the jar from which he had taken the
powder. 1t was cougar of milk" sure
enough-perfectly harmless, and yet il il
the young man was informed that no
had taken no poison, but, instead, very
harmless powder, q bushel OF which
would not kill. The information put q
stop to the dying business. He revived,
cot up and walked out Of the store dis.
eusted, promising, however, to give tho
coroner an early job. It was tho opinion
of all the bystanders that tho mere i'm
agination of poison in his system was
really killing the youth. .jr -...', 81.

An Amusing Scene.

There was some amusement in the
United States Senate shortly after that
body went into an executive session.
The galleries had been cleared, as it was
supposed, and the transaction of execu-
tive business commenced, when some
one happened to look up and saw in the
reporters gallery an individual evidently
taking notes. The sergeant OF arms be-
gan to motion him to retire, but no at.
tention being paid to his gestures, a
messenger was soon sent up, when it was
discovered that the intruder was for
eign artist carefully making sketch of
the Senate chamber. Being to great
extent unacquainted with the Eng lish
language, he was entirely innocent of
any discontinue his presence created.
He promptly retired with his unfinished
sketch when the messenger expressed to
him by numerous signs that he must
J withdraw.
