ing round to look at the man who had
the audacity 10 outbid the richest man
in Paris, discovered poor man whom
they had supposed to be a beggar.
"Sixty thousand louis, said the auc-
tioneer, "sixty thousand louis are bid,
and this fine property is going for only
sixty thousand louis !"
The steward added five thousand
louis, and the offer was at once capped
by the mendicant who bid seventy
thousand louis. Thus the war was
carried on until one hundred thousand
louis were offered, and people were
aghast at this extraordinary duel he
tween the steward OF the wealthy Duke
and miserable looking beggar.
undred-and- d-ten--thOusand
louis" slowly, but with emphasis,
shouted the steward with whitening
look at his ragged opponent. Bocher
hesitated, for although he well remem-
bered how heavy the strong box was, it
was doubtful whether it contained so
large "A sum as this, and he was well
aware that the penalty for nOnpayment
was the Chateet prison for life with all
its horrors. There was not much time
for reflection, for already the "going,
going" of the auctiOneer was sounding
In his ears.
"One hundred and twenty thousand
louis :" he shouted, and "One hundred
and twenty thousand louisgre bid,' re-
peated the auctioneer, amidst a breath
less silence. This time there was no
advance on the bidding, and after wait
ing the stipulated time, the property
was knocked down to BOcher, and the
discounted steward of the Duke quit
ted the field of battle, revenging him
self with bitter jest as he passed his
cOnquerOr.
BOcher, with the penalty of nOn-pay-
ment of the enormous purchase money
staring him in the face, handed over
the required sum within twenty-four
hours, receiving in return the neces-
sary titIe-deeds.
The mason became dealer in mo-
nOpolies, and finished by leaving an i'm
mense fortune and a patent of nobility
to his son.
Not contented with the house in Pa
ris which had satisfied his fathers as
pirations, the son built himself splen-
did chateau at Montigny, where he had
the honor of entertaining amongst other
important personages, Louis XIV. and
NJ. de Voltaire. The chateau was
built on hill, and puifed up with the
vanity of his riches. NJ. de BOcher had
the presumption to surpass the great
work of Louis XIV. at Versailles, by
bringing the water from "A greater dis
lance and throwing it to a greater ele-
vation. He had theatre attached to
the chateau, and lived the life OF great
land proprietors in England, Il state of
things quite unknown in Paris. His
museum of natural history, his collec-
ton of pictures by the old masters, his
stud of horses, were all unrivalled, and
moreover he had the luck to enjoy his
good fortune to the last, for he died on
the eve of the great Revolution, leaving
two sons behind him to enjoy his mys-
teriOusly acquired wealth.

A Honey Boat.

is now extracting the honor from the
southern flowers to sci in northern
markets. 1t consists Of 1000 hives Of
bees on board of two barges, drawn by
a steam tug, and the fleet is now In
Louisiana. 1t will soon make a start
north, gathering sweets by the way,
and halting for more systematic busi-
ness every fifty miles, at which rate it
will arrive at the head waters of the
Mississippi about the 4th Of July next
when the clover fields OF Minnesota are
in bloom. This is fine idea. All 1t
costs is an outfit and running expenses.
There are no rents, no tolls, no taxes
and no gas bills; but only the hum Of
bees, the fragrance OF flowers, and cash
receipts when the cargo is full.

While 'boye the tumult the wsiling cry
OF frightened children rose shrll and high.
Night in its shadows hid sun and earth;
The rich man sat by his costly hearth.
Lord OF wide acres and untold gold,
But wifeless, childless, forlorn and old
He thought OF the family cross the way;

Coca leaves are largely used by Peru
vians as a strength sustainer. Several
travellers in that country had testified
to the remarkable effects of the leaves
when chewed with small piece of lime,
in relieving them from the fatigue Incl
dent to making a long journey across
the mountains, and the reputation of
coca had led to the importation of some
of the leaves to England, where expert
ments were being made with them at
the time of the exhibition IN this coun-
try. The results of these experiments
varied greatly, but did not impair the
claims made for coca by travellers who
had seen it used by native Peruvians in
place of food. For the last two years,
as we learn from the Scientific american
the members of the Toronto lacrosse
club have been using coca (printed cuca
In the Scientific Americda), and after two
years of testing its effects they have
decided that it has been of great assis-
tance to them in sustaining their
strength. OF twelve members two or
three are reported to be doubtful about
its effect, but no member of the club has
found it injurious. They are all gentle
men engaged in sedentary occupations
and the game they play is one demand
ing, for brief period, from an hour
to three hours, the eXertion of great
dealength of str in quick movements,
and 1t calls into action every muscle of
their bodies. Their opponents are gen
orally Indians or men engaged in out
door work and exercise. During the
year 1876 several members of the club
fused the coca leaves, and, finally led the
WHOLE club to chew coca leaves during
heir important matches. The club held
NJ championship against all comers.

Thousands of Hawks.

A very curious phenomenon occurred
in this vicinity during the last week in
September, 1877, says the Galloway
county (Mo.) Gazette: We heard several
persons mention it at the time, but took
pains to inquire particularly concerning
it before venturing upon its publication.
A number of reliable persons who
witnessed the sight will give the same
facts. Near Middle river, about sixteen
miles south of Fulton. thousand of large
hawks were seen circling just above
the trees. After they reached the creek
near A. Il. Williams farm, large num-
bers of them lit in the trees and collected
close together. Parties with shot guns
went in among them and shot a number;
but the hawks seemed tired and deter
mined TO rest, and the firing failed to
put any considerable number of them
to flight. Those that did fly soon settled
down again. After resting about three
hours they rose again, forming great
circles, the circles often interlacing
each other, and pursued their way to-
ward the south. The specimens killed,
and examined showed that SAf y
not quite so large as hen-haWNlS Il.
they were not prairie-hawks. Mr.! Z
w. Main, who witnessed this extraQA ~
nary sight, says that they were
hawks" and that as the qux.
begun to leave the countryd
in pursuit. Many OF the hl
out looking for birds, tell usvhas' 't'hesy
saw hundreds of quails in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the hawks, but they re-
fused to fly, and ran as If in terror, to
the thickest part of the brush.
That there was an immense number
of hawks is shown by the fact that no
one could see them all at once, though
they were flying very high; and by the
fact that they were seen at about the
same hour by persons eight and ten
miles apart.
