The Good old Times.

Al curious book on 'the good old times" In
Berlin has been published by Prof G. Ian
8enscheidt. In the middle Of the eighteenth
century no one could leave Che country with
Uul q special pass, on penalty Of losing the
whole OF his property; citizens accused Of
theft or murder were put to the torture and
hanged II they confessed their guilt; even
fraudulent bankruptcy was punished by
hanging A boy ton years old was hanged for
stealing street lantern. The Weather citi-
xens were ordered by the King to build
houses I'm the Friedrichstadt; and, as these
houses generally remained unoccupied,
their proprietors were often nearly ruined.
The punishment for driving too quickly In
the streets was twenty-five blows with q
stick, and the King himself used to beat the
people OF his court including the princes
and princesses, with a long knotty stick Of
white thorn, which has become historical.
The officers thrashed the sergeants, the SER
geants the privates, employers their servants.
Street fights were Of daily occurrence, and
the victims were most frequently the police,
whose Office was considered dishonorable.
All appointments In the civil service had to
be purchased. The price of privy council
lorship was 900 thalers;. OF an ordinary coun-
CtllOrship, 300 thalers; of a private secretary
ship, 400 thalers. For salaried posts the price
was higher; thus, for an appointment the
salary Of which was ten thalers the price was
600 thRleTS.

The ORIGIN OF Kissing.

We are told by an ancient historian OF some
Trojans that escaped In the sacking Of Troy,
took such ships as they found in the Haven,
md putting to sea were driven by the winds
to part OF Tuscany, near the place where
Rome now stands; and the men being gone
on hunting, the women having been very sea-
sick, the noblest OF them called Roma, per
ships, so that they might go to sea no more.
The men, on their return, finding their ships
burnt, were exceedingly angry with their
wives, whereupon, to pacify them, they lthe
Wives) went and kissed them 50 affectionately
On their mouths, that they obtained their for
gtveness; and the custom which obtained
such signal success was continued, and Is Of
the same efficacy to this day. Grant the
sweet exercise may never lose its value and

A Sensational suicide.

The last sensational suicide in Errope is
that Of Marie Priuer, q pretty French singer
OF twenty-five, who ran away from her home
at Toulouse with Count Huguo Lamberg, an
Austrian cavalry officer. She had acquired o
competency and retired from the stage,
young as she was; then she was smitten with
q passion that the Count failed to reciprocate
fully, and when he left her she placed his por-
trait over her heart and with revolver bull
let pierced them both.

wigs ana washing In Louis xIv.s Tim.

In Louis XIV's days great folks took to
washing. Bathing had been on the decline
since Roman times, and the public baths,
kept by the barbiers-barbants- different
guild from the surgeon barbers-had got to
be places of such license for both sexes, that
LII the middle OF the sixteenth century they
were closed, and great ladies went from
weeks end to weeks end without even wash
Ing their hands, using scent instead, like
Henry III wearing face plasters. So much
unhealthiness was The result that Louis XIV
told the BARRIERS to reopen their baths. Then
the hairdressers set up next door to them,
md people who had been In the habit of get
ting their hair dressed at home went to the
shop.
. Now, too, wigs came In, the King leading the
fashion with that monstrous affair In which
be is always represented. Jean Baptiste
Theirs wrote book to prove that false hair
was contrary to the will Of God, but was no
more listened to than were Pierre Juvernay
and Jacques Botleau-brothers Of the poet
when they acclaimed against low dresses.
Dresses were worn lower and lower till
Madame de Maintenon took to covering her
bosom with lace fichu. Louis made good
thing out Of wigs. There was q wig tax |; and,
moreover, he started o new office, that OF con-
troleurs do perruques. whenever the King
makes an Office" said Minister Desmarets,
God provides some fool or other to buy 1t. "

Collector, had Il hearing to day.
In addition to the two charges of
forgery brought against him sew
cr.l days ago for $500, two more
for forgery and altering the fig

printing were brought against him
to-day, The two latter charges
involve over :.HNHN. lie had Il
preliminary hearing, and was dc
Tended by Judge Milton, Cham
herlain'S former law partner, T|r
examining justice sent him on to
the criminal term OF the Court OF
General Sessions, which meets
next week, and hailcd him in the
sum Of $4,000. One ofthr witness
ses, whom the law required to sign
the certificates, declared under
oath to-day that he opposed sig
ming the certificates, but was IN
strlctcd by Chamberlain, then
Attorney General of the State,
who afterwards became famous as
Governor ofSOuth Carolina, to sign
the certificates.
A perfect panic exists among
the old rats OF the party, all Of
whom will be implicated in one
species or another of villainy

the CAion-HerdM, Chamberlain's
organ-a paper owned almost en-
tirely by the cx-Govcrnor-was
summoned before the committee
to-day. His record in the Freed

figures will tell yet roughly on him
before the work of the committee
is over.
