A Frenehy Apecdoao.

This little story, from over the water,
is one Of the good ones: Apropos of
Paul de Musset's, biography of his
brother Alfred, they are telling very
pretty story of the poet and Mile.
Rachel, who, thirty years ago, was the
great actress Of Paris, and perhaps of
the world, One day she invited Alfred
de Musset to dine with her, and the
rest Of the guests were all notably
wealthy men, Rachel wore very
beautiful and valuable ring, which was
noticed and vastly admired. "Gentle.
men, said she, suddenly Seeing that
you admire tho ring so much. shall
now offer it for sale by auction. What
will you give for it2' In moment the
bids ran up as high as 5000 francs.
But De Musset was silent. "And you,
my poet, said the actress what will
you give2" II give you my heart, was
the reply. "rhe ringis yours, was the
reply; nor could she afterward, when
the jest seemed to have gone far enough
he persuaded to take it back again
She said. by Jove, but it is no jest
You have given me your heart and
would not return it for n hundred thou
sand crowns You cannot take il
back.

WE were told yesterday by the dis
patches that writ quo ,odrrdnto was
proposed, and would be served next
Thursday. In our poor judgment the
time hos passed when such action as
that contemplated can be pursued with
profit by Mr. TildeH.or the Democratic
party. Col. Mills hitupon the keynote
to solution of the trouble, when he
said Tilden should have made the fight
on the 4th of March at Washington.
Still if it results in the public's obtain
ing clear insight into the stupendous
frauds by which Mr.. Hayes is president,
the final death of the Republican party
will be accelerated, and that will prove
q lunge forward at all events. The diff
ference between Mills fight and the
Q00Grt is, the former would have
been manly fight with aims and no
advantages out, while the latter will
be contest of writs, in which we Dem
ocrats have been outwitted so often by
our willy foes, that we ARE really 10th to
see the experiment repeated. The
whole commission business is case ex-
aotly in point, and the memory of that
disastrous escapade is too entirely
green in the public mind for the mode
to be q popular one again this pres
ent good season. Try something else,

Virginia City Enterprise; A largo
iron water pipe is carried up through
tho steeple to the large cross of the
new Roman Catholic church. The pipe
then takes the form of the cross, behind
which it is hidden, and from holes per-
forated at proper intervals jets are sent
up. From tho top Of tho cross and
from the end of each arm large streams
ascend TO tho height of about seventy
five feet, and between these are thrown
up great number Of smaller Jets.
Last evening the numerous jets spread
out in the shape of fan.
The rays OF the declining sun fell
upon the jets and spray at just the
proper angle to light up and bring out
the whole in beautiful roseate glow
which surrounded the top of the cross
like a glory. This novel fountain was
not constructed for mere ornament 1t

Mrs. GuAtCr-y Pig.

Burlington llawkeye The following
story comes to us from good authority
" Four years ago when Gen. Custer was
in command at Fort Leavenworth, hts
quarters were cheered by the presence
of his wife, and they managed to ex,
tract no small amount OF amusement
from the limited resources of the place.
One day Martina, tho noted magician,
came along with the wonderful sleight
of-hand leats and lavish abundance of
useful and ornamental presents. A few
of the officers at the fort by way of q
joke upon the general prevailed on
Martina to give him and his wife some
awkward gift at the opening perform
ance. The performance met with the
usual applause, and at its close the
professor began to hand out his
presents. Mrs. Custer had q prize
check, and held it till the num-
Der was called, when she rose up in
the box and Martina came forward and
handed her neat, cleanly-washed but
obstreperously noisy pig. The little
squealer looked nice enough, with its
smooth white flesh and ears adorned
with pink ribbons. The lady was not
at all abashed, but took the pig in her
arms and handed it to an attendant to
carry home, at the same time thanking
the magician, amid the cheers of the
audience, Next day Martina and his
company were invited out to camp, and
went, wondering somewhat as to their
probable destination. They found the
garrison formed in n hollow square, into
which they rode with some misgivings,
But they were greeted with three hearty
cheers, and the general and his staff en-
tertOined them Hospitality, and after
wards invited them to show at the fort.
Mr. Custer is said to have made pet a
of the petite porker, and kept it rs
such for long time, till its useful
gracelulness began to develop"

TnE value of personal qualities are
nowhereI estimated so highly as they
are in Texas. Every man who has ever
risen to the surface in this State, except
some few carpet-baggers about the close
Of the war, has been universally popu>
lar at home, where they are, of course,
better known than elsewhere. This
speaks volumes in favor of the people,
as it should and does, add force and

have little effect for good, so long as
they remain in possession of the capitol

what Fills English Jails.

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, of
England, in addressing jury at Dur
ham, remarked that his experience had
shown that crimes of violence, almost
without exception, originated in public
houses and were traceable to drunllen>
ness, while he was convinced that if
England were sober she might shut up
nine-tenths of her .jails. During the
past sixteen years crime had greatly de
creased among the higher classes, which,
he thought, gave great hope for the
future.
