An Ancient Royal Coach.

A Paris correspondent writes: Wh;'c

and clearing the site for the Church OF the
Sacred Heart, the workIncn made an inter-
esting discovery; they found that the
wainscoting of one of the rooms was COM
posed of wood elegantly carved and gildcd.
The various pieces, when put together,
showed that it was m oil royal coach,
whose panels had bcan ured tos;op u hole
to keep the wind away" There is no
knowing how this relic of the ancient
regime came to be employed for building
purposes, though the probabilities are that
some Brutus or Arisiides of h revolution
of '93 seized upon tic royal equipage, and
contcmptuously used the materials where
with to construct a dwelling. Nor is there
any clue to show to what epoch the gilded
coach belonged. II may have been the
coach into which Louis XIV. told Lord
Star to step; Nine. de Pompadou may
have ridden in it it may have served nj
the wedding of Marie Antoinette, or have
conveyed Louis XIV. to the scaffold. The
panels are said to prove that the coach
was very old. but it could not well have
been before the fifteenth century. for in 40;
the only suspended coach which existed

age is not known, her several children fix

l20 years. She was born in the colony OF
Virginia, and was owned by the johnson
family, the head of which was n physician.
She was a "big. strong gal" acting in the
capacity of nurse in the owners family. at
Richmond, when the Revolutionary War
began. She was fortunate enough to see
the party Of hatchet notoriety several
times in the flesh, aud was possessed OF an
endless fund of stories regarding that
period, when liberty dawned." When
Aunt Nancy was a woman grown she
nursed the mother of General Joe Johnston
in her infancy, and she also looked after
the incrests of the General when he was
in the infantry school. She was a slave
for more than a hundred years, and re-
manned in bondage from the time OF hel
birth to the issuing of the Emancipation
proclamation. After having seen more
than half a century of life she was sold. and
went from Richmond TO New Orleans to
live. There she remained until the late

A Bird Out of its Latitude.
Boston journal.

During the great snow-storm of Janu-
airy an adult female Louisiana tanegel
was seen to approach a house in Lynn
in which there were canaries hanging in
the window. Anopen cage, with food
was placed just out of the door, into
which the bird at once entered and
allowed itself to be captured. It was
to all appearances, wild bird: and
though very hungry was not in wasted
condition. This bird has its home
in the summer months in the region
between the great plains and the Pacific
In tie winter it visits Mexico and Cen.
trail America. The great snow-storm OF
January, as is known, began on the
Pacific coast of Mexico. passing north
and east, with violent winds, progressing
about u thousand miles every twenty
four hours. 1t seems more than prob
able that this bird was caught in its vor-
tex, prevented by the storm currents OF
air from returning, and driven onward
some four Or five thousand miles to oul
inhospitable coast.

RUSSIA'S RUSE.
A st. Petersburg dispatch Of the
Goth inst. states that the Agence
Russe says as the text itself of
the treaty will be communicated to the
powers and as Russia recognizes the
powers liberty of action at the con-
eress,. in regard to the proposal, motions
ana opinions, it would seem there was
no longer any object in the formality
required by England about submitting
all conditions to congress. The pre-
liminary commission which is to as
'semble at Berlin is only to settle the
formula of invitations.

IT is only too evident that congress is
going to have a hard contest with the
Pacific railroads over the bill to provide
sinking fund with which to liquidate
the Indebtedness of these corporations
to the government. The bill introduced
by Sen. Thurman in the senate, is not
at all satisfactory to the companies,
while the railroad committee bill, which
il satisfactory to the companies, is not
satisfactory to the senators, who insist
that these corporations must pay what
they owe the government. These two
bills and the bill for the subsidy to the
Texas Pacific road will probably keep
congress in session until late in the
summer.

The great question, at present be-
tween the powers in Europe, is that of
the demand of England that the whole
treaty, of San Stefano between Russia
and Turkey be submitted to the con-
gress of powers soon to meet at Vienna.
Russia objects to this and desires only
to submit such portion of the treaty as
she considers of concern to the other
great powers. Upon this question now
depends the peace of Europe. The
latest news is to the effect that England
is firm and determined IN her demand,
and that Russia, is considering the
matter.

The tariff bill is evidently destined to
have a rough time in congress. The
ways and means committee is still at
work at it; but the committee is max
ing but little Roadway, owing to the
fact that many conflicting interests ale
met with at every stage Of progress and
all these interests seem to be fully re-
presented in Washington. Every pro.
vision of the bill is advocated by a large
lobby and opposed by an equally large
lobby.
