The Versailles Chamber is subject to
whimsical Interruptions. The other day
NJ. Menier, whese politics are only less ad
mirable than his chocolate, was developing
his ideas on taxation. 1t was'his maiden
speech, and he was getting along nicely,
when all at once ahoarse voice issued from
tine spectators gallery: "Vlve la France
Vive Napoleon W." President Grevy
seized his bell, The nearest employees of
the Chamber seized the proprietor of the
vo' ce; the gallery was cleared, comparative
Quiet restored, and NJ. Menier resumed his
uiscour. as beat he could. The Interrupt

altern in TIE Garde Imperiate- Before the
police court he explained that he was
thinking of A'sace- Lorraine, and forgot
himself. He was fined sixteen francs and

was that for an entire week he had been
aching to starte the Chamber, and that the

vernon Pacbeco, of California, seems to
have habit of creeping into Office by the
" skin of his teeth" It is thought now
that he has been elected to Congress by a
majority of one, and if he has. it will be the
third time that he has succeeded by that mar
row margin. He WAS a candidate for the
State Senate iu 1860 the vote was so close
that the seat was>contested, and the COM
mittee decided that he was elected by one
majority. He was Republican and the
Senate was Democratic, and party feelln
rau 40 high that it was thou ght the Senate
would not adopt the committee's report.
When the vote was taken, the report was
adopted by majority of one. 1t is small
margin, bat IL serves the purpose.

Centaur
LinilnlentS.

One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man suffered and human agencies aeviated
pain, has there been any thing which went 50 tar
as pain anniniator and curative agent as the
Ccntaur Liniments. These Lniments have within
the past yeaI cured more cases of rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Stf JOINTS Caked Breasts, Swelings,
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lame Animals, etc., etc,
than all other remedies combined. As The name
of Centaur implies half horse and hat man, the
Centaur Liniments are Tor man and beast. But
not the Same Liniment. The White Liniment is
for man and the Yellow for horses and animals.
Herein this Liniment differs from all other rene
dies although some OF the ingredients are alike IN
each. They contain the well known Which Hazel
Arnca, Carbolic, Rock Oil, Mentha and other
powerful ingredients.

To avoid ceremonious receptions. which
he cordially hated. the Emperor Joseph
III. assumed the title of Count Falkensteln.
This incognito sometimes led to amusing
scenes. Once. on the road to Hungary.
his Majesty halted at a post house, when
the newly-born babe OF the POSTMASTER
was about 10 be baptised. Joseph offered
himself as sponsor. The priest asked Tor
his name. ',Joseph," replied he. But
the surname p "Second.' 'What rank
or professiong' Pr EMPEROR" was the re-
ply. The amazement of the party soon
gave way to "a burst of gratitude when his
Majesty presented his little godson with
the customary gift. but in this case OF
really royal magnificence. Ga another
occasion Joseph aIighted at a hotel before
the arrival ot his suite. The inqulsitive
host inquired il he belonged to the SER
vice OF the Empeorrl "Yes,n answered
Joseph II shave him sometimes" Many
anecdotes are told of his amiable benevo-
lence. Hearing of an old officer who
possessed large family with straitened
means. the Emperor unexpectedly called
at his house, and finding l. children said ::
II know you have 10 children, but whose
is the eleventh Pr ut is an orphan" re-
piled the veteran, "whom found at my
door, and | could not suffer ii to perish
from want Joseph, struck bv this act
of humanity said: Let the children be
in future mine: | will provide for them,
and do you continue TO give them exam
plies of virtue and honor" Another time,
passing down the streets OF Vienna, he
saw Young girl, with a bundle under
her arm, seemingly plunged IN the deep
est distress. His delicate inquiries led
her to confide to him that she was the
daughter OF a deceased officer, aud that
her mother and herself were reduced TO
such penury as 10 part with their lew re-
maining clothes as q last resource. You
ought" replied Joseph, 40 have petit
toned the Emperor" She told him this
had been already done, but without sue
cess, not conceaiing her opinion of his
Msjesty's want OF generosity. you have
been deceived" he replied, suppressing
his emotion. II will myself report your
case TO the Emperor. know him too
well to fear he will refuse You assistance. !"
The girl now broke forth into expressions
OF thanks. which Joseph hastily interrupt
ed, saying, "Allow me to lend you II du-
cats for your present necessities" In a
day or two Joseph dispatched messen-
ger, bidding her and her mother repair to
the palace. When the young glrl saw the
Emperor she tainted from fear and emo
ton. On her recovery Joseph said, in de-
livering to her pension equal to the APP
pointment OF her father. II entreat you
and your mother TO pardon the delay
which has been the cause OF your embar
rassment. You are convinced, trust, it
was Involuntary on my part; and should

tel, Afternoon, ofgood sport the party
repaired to the Newport. House to:make
prepar ations for their return to the city.
They remained until late in the evening
and not until the majority of the guests
of the; house were retired to their rooms
did the carriages begin to =, fill for the
homeward journey. About this time some
joke came up, and from the circumstances
Of the case one Of the gentlemen ran, the
others joining in his Spursuit. sDodging
around the yard for a few minutes, he es:
capped into the hotel, ran up the stairs, and
hid In one of the halls. The tramp of
feet, however, soon told him he was fol-
lowed, and, in his great desire to escape,
he skipped through an open door, into .
bedroom: The pursuers were almost at
the door, and, in fit of desperation, he
concealed his somewhat substantial cor:
porosity beneath the bed. His friends
looked in saw no. one, and passed on. In
afew minutes they went down stairs again
and the concealed fugitive was just about
crawling out to go down when a new
figure appeared on. the scene. A lady
entered the room, and to the horror of
the gentleman under the bed, began to
show unmistakable symptoms of her in
tention Of going to her nights repose.
There was but one course to pursue on
the part of our hero, and he pursued it..
Sticking his head and arms out from un-
der the bed, he exclaimed: MADAM,
don't be frightened. It's all right, and
I'll explain how L came here. Don't be
scared. Don't scream, I beg Of you. The
business can all be explained in"-the re-
mainder was lost in q Wild; scream of

the least punishment expected for this

Changed Times and Tunes.

Cincinnati Gazette.
How short the time is since there were
great combinations of Changers against
the prices Of railroad transportation, in
timidating courts, capturing all political
dcmagogues, taking possession of State
legislatures, passing acts prescribing low
freight tariffs, and causing Congressman
and the President to agitate schemes for
great trans-continental canal routes to
make transportation cheap! The confis-
cation of the capital invested in railroads
seemed light thing to them in the great
cause Of cbeapening transportation for
the benefit of the city laborer and the
farmer. The great argument was the
benefit to the workingman by chcapening
the transportation of his food and all the
articles Of the subsistence, clothing and
shelter of his family. Cheap transporta-
ton seemed then the only thing lacking
to human happiness.
How the cry has changed! Now it is
that the roads have been carrying too
cheaply; that their competition with each
other has reduced freight charge so that
they have to reduce the wages Of their
laborcrs. And now we behold multitude
of laborcrs in all other branches of indus
try assuming that they have been wrongcd
by low rates Of transportation, and that
they have cause for quitting work and
becoming enemies Of their employers.
A couple Of years ago low freight was the
workingman's cause. Now high freight is
the workingman's cause. A little while
ago the workingmen were called to COM
bine to destroy the capital invested in rail-
roads to make them carry cheaply. Now
they are called to rise up and burn the
railroads because they have carried too
cheaply, and thereby have had to make
their laborers work more chcaply. Only
little while ago the workingmen's cause
was acall upon the nation to spend ahun-
drcd or two of millions to make canals to
cut the throats of the railroads by com
petition. Now the wor<ingmen's cause is
against the railroad competition which has
cut their own throats. The American
politician has to have a versatility in
steps to keep time to this changing music

An Awkward Prcdicament.

We have heard the history of a man
who was for many hours watched by a
bear without his being able to remove
from the spot where he was sitting; here
is more terrible one of man and lion.
A man returning from q visit to his
friends at Bethany, South Africa, took a
circuitous course in hopes to kill an anie-
lope to carry home to his family. Seeing
no game when he reached the spot, he
laid his gun down on low, shelving
rock, and went down to pool to drink,
after which he returned to the rock.
smoked his pipe, and fell asleep. In a
short time the heat reflected from the
rock awoke him, and he saw large lion
crouching before him, with his eyes glar-
ing in his face, and within little more
than yard from his feet. He sat mo-
tionless for some. time till he had recover
ed his presence Of mind then, cycling his
gun, he moved his hand slowly towards
it. The lion, seeing this, raised his head
and gave q tremendous roar He made
another, and another, and another attempt,
but the. gun being far beyond his reach,
he gave it up, as the lion seemed we'll
aware of: his object, and was enraeed
whenever he attempted to move his hand.
The rock on which he sat became so hot
that he could hardly bear his naked feet
to touch it, and he kept moving them,
alternately placing one above the other.
The day passed, and the night also, but
the lion never moved from the spot.
The sun again rose, and soon rendered
his feet beyond feeling AT noon, the
lion rose and walked to the water, only a
few yards distant, but looking behind as
he walked, lest the man should move
and seeing him stretch out his hand to
take his'gun, turned in rage and seemed
about springing upon. him: Tho animal
went to the: water, drank, and returning,
lay down againsa the edge of. the rock.
Anotherjnight passed the man in describ.
ing it said he knew not whether he slept,
but, if he did, it must have been with his
eyes open, as he always saw the lion be-
fore him: Next day the animal went
again to the water, and while there he
listened to some noise apparently from
an opposite quarter and disappeared in the
bushes. The man made another effort
and seized his gun, but his ankles were
without power and he could not. walk
He. .crept doWnSto the: water, gun ii hand
expecting the return of the lion, which
however never came back. The unfortu.

Retributive Justice,
N..- J -. - s>~ts5tE.,
Middletown N.Y,) AfSul., !;

Middletown IN. .Y.} Argus. !.E n / !:
A strange case ofwell- deserved retribu-
ton has been lately reported to us; the
circumstances Of which ! are as follows i
On one Of the best farms in Orange Coun-
ty, located within q few miles of Middle
town, there lived q. farmer who came into
possession of his property, it is said, by
detrauding his aged father out of it. He
induced the old ! gentleman to deed the
homestead and farm j;over to him, repre-:
senting that he would be we'll taken care
Of during his declining years, and that
were the property in his own name he
would take more interest init No SOON
er was the deed made out and delivered
than the son began la'series of petty per
secutions against his father, compelling
him to perform duties about the farm,
iovertaxing his strength; excluding him
from the family table and dealing out to
him in q gingerly manner sustenance
hardly sufficient to keep soul and body
together: These acts of cruelty were car
ried to such an extent that the broken
hearted father was compelled to leave the
roof which he himself had erected; and
throw himself upon the charity of the
world, at one time, we believe, becoming
an inmate of the county poor-house.
Things went on in this way for some
years, the son apparently prospering and
accumulating quite large share Of this
worlds goods. He became suspected of
several acts of dishonesty in dealing with
his neighbors, and lost no opportunity to
enrich himself at the expense of others.
To such an extent did he carry his parsi-
monious practices that at last he endeay-
ored to escape the payment of some Of his
just debts by secretly conveying his prop
erty to his son, little thinking that his
own son would be as ungrateful to him
as he had been to his father. He thus
successfully evaded the payment of his
debts, but when he attempted to continue
control OF the farm an unexpected obsta-
Gle presented itself, the son proclaimed
himself sole owner and refused to follow
out his directions, or allow him in any
way to control the proceeds. Disputes
and recriminations followed, until finally
the son ordered the father off the premls
es. and refused to contribute to his sup
port. The upshot of the whole affair is
that the grandfather is now reinstated in
the old armchair in the family circle. and
will be tcnderly cared for during the re-
mainder of his natural life, while his son
is employed as farm laborcr in q dis
tant part Of the country. 1ngratitude, in
every second generation, is no doubt
hereditary IN the family, and it will be
curious to observe what the present own
cr's son will do if he gets chance.
