One case came under my observation in which
the principal actors were member Of Congress,
aged, should judge, upward Of 20, and
bright, fresh, sprightly widow, a sparkling anu
irresistible type Of the class Of which the elder
Weller SO solemnly counsels his son to sfbe-
yare.' The sly twinkle of the old gentlcman's
eye and his expression OF studied indifference
to the tender glauees aud .alluring airs led me
to seriously doubt whether be heard one word
OF the manufactured business being poured iuto
his ear, and my inclination to examine the docu-
mcut i'll his hands was almost Irresistible, SO
firmly was / convinced that it was bottonl-sidc
upward; but when saw her rest her beautiful
hand so tenucrly upon his arm, md gazing up
into his face with wi1derin@ eyes, inquire IN
tones Of sweet perplexity: My dear Mr. -,
what shall lo!'' we rang down the curtain.
We were willing to wager our mead On the sue
cess of that wonlan's petition if it lay in the
power of our venerable friend to bring it about.
SHE DIDN'T STAND UP
AT one Of the Detroit churches where q re-
vival is in progress the clergyman asked those
who wanted to be prayed for to stand up. Quite
q number rose to their feet, and after services
were closed one lady was heard asking another
at the door:
:. Nly didn't YOU stand up!''
s.Oh, dicn't want tor was the reply.
"Why, vou are very foolish woman. I

The Marcchale is very busy and a very de-
vout lady. She .s to be seen at all the impor
tant church ceremonies. The other dny she
gave the Bishop Of Versailles inter encom-
passed by river OF diamonds for lis " silver
wcdding,n u the anniversary Of the twenty fifth
year Of his cpiscopatc. Republican tongues are
very wicked about this and the general devotion
of the Marcchale to the Church. Or course she
is in the hands Of the Jcsuits, and the Marshal,
being somewhat uxorious fur Frcnchman, is in
their hands also. Hence all kinds OF mischief
may be expected at any moment. The
A{arcchalc's strong Legltnlst 6ympathies,
and the crowd Of rustlins visitors who
come to the supcrbly-'apestEled aDtcchambcF
oi the RcpuDlic,' leaving equipages covered
with leraldic glories below, deepen the Rcpub-
lican mistrust. Of the Marshal's loyalty to his
late Imperial master men sPeak IN ~hlspers,
with anger in their eyes. The Marechale Is
very benevolent lady, who takes real interest
in her poor, and is al active manager and cor
sponlcnt, as her Wel+coycrcd desk, substantial
ebony ink-stand and gum-pot, testify. Her Sit
ting-room is also q work-room. The
dominant piece OF furniture is substan-
tary Of State, at which she conducts
the corrcspon lence Of the Hlyres and funds OF
which she is president aud patron, with yigor
almost equal to that OF the august exile, fer
Whose uoWaSer uays tnl3 fnaSnlaecnt sultc OF
rooms was designed. The card-table and sofa
beside the bureau arc for the ccarte which hus~
band and wifc quietly play together when an
evening at home and without visitors can be
snatchea. The Marshal is not studious man,
but soldier and sportsman, who takes lightly
and gayly to oamusements, enjoys billiards and his
pipe with his children about him. and is content
over game ut cards with his wife aftcrward.
The private rooms include u handsome family
dinlng-room {enriched with animal pieces By
Dcsportes), and u further room the walls Of
which are broad landscapes that give it wonder
mi air and space, where the family takc their
coffee. The official hume OF the Marshall
President of the Republic i, iu short, stately
plnce, but nlale houc-ikc by the children Who
range through it-wllo, by the way, arc given to
talk English as homage to their siFe's descent,
and who affect q Scotch bunne- 1t is quite
apart from the ceremonial halls below, where
the illustrious bil1iard-playcr OF the Premier,
his pipe laid aside, clatters to the vsstibule his
breast abaze with orders, to receive lis imperial
hirhness or his majesty.

ALBANI.

Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to the Phila
dcIphia Telegraph: "Mllc. Albani is creating i
regular furorc at Les 1talieus. The houses art
crowded every night literally from pit tt
domc,' the cheap gallery being as thronged u:
are the boxes and orchestra stalls The display
of toilcttes is very brilliant, and thanks to tlt
sweet-voicel American the pal1ny days Of The
Sale Tentadour seem to be revived. Mile
Atlantis Voice certainly must have greatly iul'
proved since her tour in the United States. Il
is now well-nigh perfect both in tone and
and exquisite rocalization drive the Parisian
critics wcll-uigh out OF thcir senses With en-
thusiasm. How gloriousiy she sings! with
what truth and certainly Of intonation, aud
with what perfection ot method and flush! She
llas sung in Lucia and Ill Iigo!ttte, and is next
to appear in Lu isounanl5ma. Tic night that
was ut Les ltllicus tile audience was iar more
brilliant than it usually Is at the Grand Opera
ITSELF. Thanks to the Albani furore, tho pretty
custom Of going to the opera i'll full batl-drtss
has been revived. and the fashionable part OF
the house presented . very gay appearance,
the display of diamonds on the part uf some
OF tue older ladics present hcing really daz-
zling Ono stout and not syipl,-like

which was wonderfully tiuc, both as re-
gurls the size and number OF the stones.
AImc de MacMahon and~ the Marshal
occupied the Presidential box, aud were
accompanied BY their daughter, q fresh,
seIsibie-looking girl in white tulle, with
knots Of blue ribbon on her breast and shoul-
dcrs, and III her hair. Tue Duchess, herself,
wore pink silk, with shawl Of black lare. The
Princess Lise Iruubetskoi, with her daughter,
were in the opposite prosceniuln box. The
Princess is thin, pale, and PLAN, and her daugll.
ter is thinner, paler, and plainer than she: and
very awkward lnto the bargain. Certain OF the
Spanish and South American bellies present
wore black dresses {not mourning, howeyerl,
and long black gloves, which last adjunct to the
toilette looked very odd in combination with
wrcathcs Of yellow or Of crimson roses.

England and the Eastern War.

One of the dread penalties which the
British House of Commons holds over the
head of offending members is the threat that
the offender shall be named by the Speaker.
For long time this threat had power to ter
rify, and no man dared persist in violation of
rules, for fear it would be carried out; all
thought something, they knew not exactly
what, but it must be something dreadful, would
then happen. But one day foolhardy mem
ber, from Ireland, boldly disregarded it, and
was named by the Speaker-and there was
not much of an earthquake, after all. The
guilty man lived to tell the tale. and when he
died died lamented and respected.
This parliamentary incident suggests itself
when we read in the London dispatches that
the British Government 'swi declare in
strong terms its disappsozalaf Russia,s, cons
Guiding direct peace with Turkey; and the
course England will pursue in case the re-
monstrance is not recognized by Russia is
matter in which the deepest interest is taken,
and on which there is great difference of
opinion" 1t is to be presumed that Beacons-
field will name the Gar. But the presumptu-
Gus Alexander subjected himself to that pen
atty last winter and it didn't hurt him bit.
The threat is like postage stamp in that it
can never be used, with safely, but once,
The British Premier is credited with this
design: He will not go to the extent OF an
immediate declaration of war, but will enter
upon a course of warnings and threatenings.
Like the Chinese warrior he will make hide
Gus faces at the enemy, aud if that doesn't
ffighten the encroaching Russian he will fall
back in as good order as may be, taking care
not to expose his rear. He is also said to en-
tertain this ingenious idea: "If Russia will
consent to ultimate terms of settlement which
he can approve her amour propre shall be
gratified by direct appeal from the van
quished enemy" Russia however doesn't
seem bit worried about an insult to her
amour propre, and prefers the freedom of the
Dardenees and a slice of Armenia to empty
Acknowledgements of her prowess. As she
has Germany and Austria at her back she
can afford to give way to her will and ignore
British interests.
The interference of England will come too
late. She should have compelled Turkey to
accept the terms of the Conference. As she
preferred to stand back and let the two ma
tlons fight the quarrel out, she cannot now
come in with any grace and object to the
conclusion of peace between them on the
terms to which they may agree. She has
missed her opportunity. Rather than en-
counter the English feet Russia may consent
to leave Constantinople in the possession Of
the Ottomans. But she will doubtless insist
upon the freedom of the Dardanelles and the
acquisition OF Armenia as repayment for the
expense to which she has been put, and will
not be deferred from her purpose by English
threats. The independence of Bulgaria is
already assured. Even Great Britain admits
that, and hastens to say that the proposed
rewards to Russian allies do not menace Brit
ish interests. This sop however will not sat
isfy Russia

TENNESSEE has relented, and kindly offers
to pay her creditors one-half OF what she
owes them if they will take the sum in full
discharge of the debt. This is generous, for
she might refuse to pay anything. But if
ever she repents of her iberality she can
easily retrace her steps, for she can repudiate
the four per cent. bonds in which the debt is
to be esfunded"
