Sixteen Thousand Dollars Paid for Two Pink Vases
of Old sevres.
Montreal Herald }

In tho drawing room of the Marquis OF
Durfort, at his chateau of la Feire Saint
Cyr, a pair Of vases with covers, of pink
old Sevres, have stood on the same table
for over century. A bat not long since,
happening to get into the drawing room,
and dashing round and round, after the
manner of those disagreeable creatures
when they find Themselves caught in any
enclosure, threw down one of these vases
and broke the cover, which was mended as
neatly as might be. The incident attracted
the attention of a visitor to these vases
which nobody had noticed previously. A
few days afterwards dealer in curiosities
called on the Marquis, bringing q letter of
introduction from the friend in question,
and told him that he had come from Paris ex-
pressly to see the two vases, which he was
accordingly allowed to see, and which he
examined with all the air of q connoisseur.
The dealer would fain have bought them,
but the marquis declined to sell them, re-
marking that he was not a dealer in porce-
lain.
A day or two afterwards be received a
letter from the man entreatlug the Marquis
to fix his own price for the two vases.
Several others, repeating the same request,
arrived at short intervals, until the Mar
Quis, annoyed at the Dealers persistence,
consulted his inteu dant on the subject, re-
marking: " We must really do something
to discourage this persecutOr what reply
had l better make to him Z" Tell him he
may have them for 10000 francs J" said the
intendant with a laugh. The marquis,
amused with the idea, replied accordingly
to the PerseveIiUg dealer, eupposing that
such Il reply would put an end to the cor
respondeEce But tn bis es'onistmtnt lie
received next morning q telegram saying
" The vases are mine. l am on the road to
your chateau, bringing with ne the co.
600 francs" ~ wrote in JOKE" ga the
Marquis to the dealer, when the latter or
rived, " otherwise ehould have replied to
your propositions Ivy repeating MY refusal
to sen these vase m any price. But l have
never allowed my signature to be protested ,
and l cannot do SO now. The vases are

roll OF bank notes on the table before him,
but hope you will explain to me Why
you have bought them" Most Willingly,

jnst what he needs to complete his collec-
ten, and lhave sold them TO him for 50 600

4NECDOTE or TELEGR4PHING.

The following ia told Ivy Mr.. Rogers: II
think ttr most curious fact tnHt | lave ever
heard OF the electric telegraph, was tod
me by tie cashier Of the Bank of England
'OnCC upon = time then, on u certain Sat
nrday night, the folks at the bank could not
make the balance come ont correct by lust
&lOu. IhlA Is a very serious matter in tn at
little establishment. l do not mean the
cash, but the mistake in arithmetic, for it
requires a world of scrutiny. An error in
balancing has been known, am told, to
keep delegation of clerks from each Off ce
ut work sometimes the whole night. A hue
and cry was, of course, made after this / 100,
rs if the cid lady in ThreRdneedle street
would be In the Gazette for want of it.
Luckily on Sunday morning, a clerk, in the
Riddle of IA sermon, l dare say, if the truth
were known, felt a suspicion of truth flash
through h mind quicker than any flash OF
the telegraph Itself. lilo told the chief
cashier that perhaps the mistake might
have occurred in packing some boxeS nt
specie for the West Indies, which had been
sont to Southampton for shipment. The
guggestion was Immediately acted upon.
Here was a race, lightning against steam
steam with eight and forty hours the
start. Instantly the wires asked, Whether
such vessel had left the harbor p just
weighed anchor was the reply, stop her :
franctically shouted the telegraph. 1t was
30 done. Heave up on deck certain boxes
marked 80 and SO; weigh them carefully.
They were weighed and ope--the della
suent-was found heavier by just one pac.
Ret of hundred soycreigus than 1t ought
TO be. Let her co. SAID the mysterious
telegraph. The West Indies were debitcd
with Just 600 more, and the error was
corrected without ever looking into the boxes
or delaying the voyage an hour. Now that
Is what we call doing business"

REPUsING AN INHERITANCE.

The terrible vice-it may we'll be called q
vice-of the age We live in 10 the reckless
| rush for the accumulation of sudden wealth
| 1t is encouraged because of the universal
worship of the golden calf. Every one
| filings himeelf down before the rich man,
aud the word in society is never now,
What is he Z" but "What has he '" II
you are poor man you are despieed, and
would be kicked by your nelghoors but
that you may have good, healthy muscle
| and might return the uncomplimentary
action. If you are a rich man, no matter
| how you gained your wealth, you are
"such q nice fellow" and Z" such good
fellow" and your hundred pounds in char
ity, which, in comparison, may be infinitely
| less than the poor mans hundred pence,
excite ordinations Of" And oh! be Is 30
generous This is the Lpan that ought TO
have money" In such state OF society
| and it exists not as much on the Continent
az in Edgland-it is refreshing az 1t ID
strange to see him who might be one OF the
richest men in Europe, who might have
an income of nearly thousand pounds
a day, willingly lay down his wealth, and
refuse to touch a franc OF his vast lnherl-
lance.
Such q man is the young DGke de CALI
era, who will not on any percussion assume
that title, and who simply signs himself
Philippe Ferrari. 1t was mistake to think
that this young man was not the adopted
which abroad means the legltlmlZed-son
of the late Duke. He is his legal and sec
ond surviving son by his marriage with the
ducht ga, herself q member of the great
Brignole Sale family. Young Ferrari, who
refused five millions sterling is now at
Genoa, but means soon to return to Paris
to earn his daily bread by teaching lang
uages to the sons of rich grocers of Paris.
He is said to shave a surprising aptitude
for foreign tongues. and, though only
AJAX n
eight of them fiuently. Some people think,
especially the ladies who take great in
terest in the young semi Communist, that
his mother whom he tenderly loves, may
induce him to accept a portion of the in
heritance-say at least. as she says herself,
q miserable 5000, or 60 900 pounds year
but those best acquainted with Philip
Ferrari believe he will be- as stern "a
Timon in repudiating his millions.-French

APPRECLATION OF WAGNER.

A story from Bsyreuth shows to what eX-
tent some ofHerr Wsgner's disciples appre-
cha te his compositions. A popular writer
of Euglieh songs was going through the
piano forte score during his stay in Bay
reuth, when little group of devotees hap
pened to call, and begged him to continue
the exquisite strains of the Gott0Tddmnae-
| rung. This he did amid chorus of raptu-
rous ordinations, until the music became
so complicated that, skillful pianist as he
was, he found himself on the wrong tack,
ard ran off into a sort of burlesque imita-
ton Of the master. Instead of the expected
chorus Of remembrance from the devotees,
at the proclamation of the wonderful music,
to the astoniehment of the player the ejac-
ulations of delight were redOubled- he
crashed away handfuls of the abominable
chords, in the base, and the disciples
called upon each other to admire the
harmony and grandeur of the theme:
He rushed up and down the key board
in vague chromatic scales, interpreted
with casual thumps on aby notes upon
which his aimless fingers CHANGED to strike,
and in hushed tones his hearers bade each
other to remark with what wondrous su bt-
Lefty the leading motives were suggested
and introduced. He played vague discords
on ever changing keys on all parts of the
piano, and with upturned eyes the disci-
pies pointed out with what grace and power
the subject was brought before them-they
could learn every detail of the story with
out word of explanation, so eloquent was
the music when heard only on q piano; and
they could but wonder how, after playing
such heavenly music with 80 much skill,
the pianist could still hint that Herr Wag-
ner had ever been approached by mortal
musician, and could even smile as he talked
about the masters sublime genius.

SAILS SUPERsEDIHa SrEAM.-A remark
able change in the character of the ship-
building on the Clyde has for some time
been going on, and during the last year it
reached very large proportions. This is
the substitution of iron sailing ships. for
iron steamers. and the change lie ascrloed
in some measure to the increase OF iate
wears inthe price of coal, an increase which
makes it difficult to run steamships at
a profit. In 1873 there were built on the
Clyde 125 iron screw steamers of 2lS, OOO
tons, and only twelve iron sailing ships of
$4,000 tons were launched. But in 1876
only eighty three iron screw steamers were
built, while ninety.seven iron sailingiships
of sc, 600 tons were constructed. This is an
increase of more than eight fold in three
years. The change ia one which will be
welcomed by sail makers and sailors, who
generally dislike steamers for reasons OF
their own.

Mr.. John Ruskin, in his " Modern Pain
ters," dwells with great elaboration on the
principle of graduation in color. He tells
us that Nature never uses a color without
grading it; that is, never employs fiat
tints. And he further claims that Turner,
whom he considers only inferior to Nature,
probably because of his faIliblo humanity,
never painted u square inch Of canvass with
out grading his tint.

EFFECT or CLIAATE ON PLANTS.

| observations made during the Arctic Ex
| petition have brought to light one or two
curious facts in connection with the powers
of growth possessed by different plants I'M
der varying conditions of climate. Ameri-
| can research has proved that the seeds of
certain plants, if gathered in one climate
and sown in another will terminate earlier
| or later, and with more or less vigor, accor
ding as the new clima is " armer or colder
than the cid. And even perceptible
change of climate ia not required to show
these results a difference OF few degrees
only in latitude is sufficient to do 30. For
example, wheat from Scotland, sown in the
south of England, will terminate and
ripen much more quickly than wheat of ex-
actly similar quality gathered in the South
and planted in the same latitude iG which
it was grown.
This fact is of the utmost Importance to
agrcultursts. To secure early growing
wheat, it ia only necessary to take care that
the seed ia gathered in colder climate than
that in which it was sown. The process lie
perfectly Iracticabie, as it might he SO ar
ranged that the wheat sown in the North
should not be consumed, but preserved for
seed for the next season in the South. The
same thing Ia noticeable amOug other
plantH, and florists and hoTtculturists
might take advantage of this circumstance
to produce both carrier and stronger plants
than they do now without the appliance
Tor forcing. Another cOnunS fact Is that
seeds-especiaiy wheat-will stand an i'm
mensr amount of enid wtth0nt injury. Some

CURRAN's REPLY TO JUDGE RoBINsoN-
AT time when Curran was only Just rising

and struggling man, Judge Robinson, it is
said, ventured upon sneering joke which
small though il was, but for Curran's ready
wit and scathing eloquence, might have
done him irreparable injury. Speaking of
some opinion of counsel on the opposite
side, Curran said he had consulted all his
bUOhe, ona could noe fluu case in which
the principle in dispute was thus estab-
llshed. That may be, Mr.. Curran,"
