Il Parisint Beauty's Rereuoe,

An English Marchioness, resident in the
Legitimist fabourg, and avoiding the Ma
poleonites as "low,' gave grand parties. To
one of these an English lady took, uninvit-
ed, pretty French woman, a friend of the
Empress. This pretty woman made herself
conspicuous by her prettiness and f1irtations
but the Warehouses found out who she was
| and was Disguised. She said to her:
Il am SO conscious of the honor you have
done me in visiting me, that I dare not
expect REPETITION of the unexpected com
pliment.''
The pretty woman grew pale, but smiled,
and orderd a cavalier to order her carriage.
| The pretty woman was clever, and tinessed a
red venge. She bribed the marchioness'
femme de chambre to give her the list of
guests invited for the next soiree.
Armed with this she prepared a
circular note, which she dis
patched to each of the invited late in the af-
ternoon of the appointed day: 'sThe mar
chioness presents her compliments to so and
SO, and regrets that domestic calamity will
prevent her." etc. She then went to great
'Mad Doctor" representing herself asAkhe
daughter of the marchioness, and acting With
the consent of her ladyship's family; she rep

in the delusion that she was always having
great parties. For instance, if Monsieur the
doctor would 60 to her Iadyship's hotel that
evening he would find her dressed in great
| splendor, with the salon illuminated, adorned
with flowers, and Bullets covered with re-
| freshments.
The doctor went, on the understanding
that he was to obtain the proper police
authority to take the marchionness to Maisou
DeSante in the event that the representa-
ton made to him being confirmed by his
own observation. He arrived at 10 in the
evening: he was the frst-the only-euest

his questions startled her. and as he
grew abrupt as his perception of her lunacy
became more clear, she was at last offended
and rang for her servants. At the same
time he made the proper intimation of his
police authority; and the end of the story
is, that she was taken off by the doctor in
Mysteries, and detained as prisoner in his
asylum until the whole truth came out. AL
Paris was in roars, and the pretty flirt was
heroine forever. Protected by her august
friend, she escaped retaliation,-a British
machoiness is too grand for wit.

Farming in Florida-- BracAenrid Story

Going up to Sleepy Eye, Wednesday morn
ing to w. L. Breckenridge, ESQ.,, relating to
his friends some of the incidents that &C.
CURED on his trip South. Speaking about
Florida, he made the remark that he would
rather live IN Minnesota with grasshoppers
every year, than to be there, and went ON,
s'one morning l started out from
Spring Cove on the St. Johns and
thought l would take walk into the coun-
try. l had got along about two miles
and could see nothing but sand and white
pine. stopped and thought I would re-
turn to town. Presently, two men came
sauntering along, one of them was fully rs
tall az am, but not SO heavy built and
about sixty years of age. The other one
was younger. spoke to the elder of the
two and told him that would like to make
few inquiries in regard to the country.
"Waal stranger, reckon I am in no
hurry, set down.
We all squatted down on the sand, and I
asked him where he lived.
"About fifteen miles from here"

lassoed Twain. and Twain peacefully con-
sented for consideration to retire from the
box-otdce OF every theatre in which Ray
mond might be, for the time being. PLAYING
Colonel Sellers
Three weeks ago the aggregate sum which
John T. Raymond had paid Samuel L..
Clemens for the right to apply the name of
Colonel Sellers to one of the cleverest of
original creations was 100000. It would
be an exaggerated estimate to suppose that
Raymond made as much for himself.
The fact, therefore, remains that Clemens.
the humorist, the. genial, breezy wag. the
liberal, free-handed man of letters, took one
OF every two dollars that flowed into Raw
mond's honest pocket.
The question occurs, What consideration
did the humorist and genial, breezy was
afford?
Ihls-he sketched parsonage, and gave
him three bold, striking traits. Then he
rehlled his pipe. turned over and lazily cogi-
tated how to make another honest penny in
the same easy way.
The hardihood of such a toll-taking would
be best paralleled if Matt. Morgan were to
sketch scene for Millals to finish in oil
with months of elaboration, and then de-
mand both the credit for the painting and
two-thirds of the price that the pre- Raphael
lite got for it.
One hundred thousand dollars for Twain's
play i'll Colonel Sellers is almost, if not
quite, the biggest joke he ever perpetrated.
But 1t isn'ta joke, and Twain, not content
with what he has got, has notified RAYMOND
that, if he plays the piece in England, he
shall want ''more!'' Let US, therefore, re-
mind Mr.. Raymond that, under the laws of
Great Britain, he is under no necessity to
pay Mr.. Twain one penny for the perform
ance of this ''play''

promised TO be long and happy. She had
many qualities which caused her to be adj
mired and loved by all. She was attractive
in person. and intelligent, kind and cheerful
in disposition, so that no one had a wider
circle of friends.
But il was in the sacred precincts of home
that the virtues of her character shone
most beautifully. With all tender devotion
ami affection she strove to minister to the
conf fort of father and brothers and sister.
to make them happy when well, and to
cheer and relieve them when sick. In sick

brow of the sufferer was a blessing
When il Was known that the fever in its
wasting career had attacked her there were
many fersent prayers that she might be
spared, but the winds Of heaven were
wooing the white sail of her SOUL She
had been brought up in the SUNDAY School,
and carefully trained in religious things at

Wien she came to die she had joyful
hope OF another lie, her last words were
prayer, expressions OF trust in Christ. and

HAYNES BLUFF, Oct. 2, 1873.
To THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, NICKsBURG !:
The people of this section are in absolute
want, and God only knows what will be-
come of them. The epidemic is steadily on
the increase and becoming more fatal every
day. 1t is extending everywhere and is
deadly in its contact. Mr.. Jesse Ross died
this day; Mrs. Snider has lost both her
daughters, aud is very i'll herself. L have
lost r:y little boy. l call on the Howard
Associ atom for the poor suffering sick of
this section. You must relieve US, as we
ca mot do anything for ourselves. The
panic is worse than that of a routed army.
So great has been the terror that two well
authenticated cases have occurred where
the parents oftwo dying children abandoned
them to the mercies of Strangers, and when
they were dead had to be buried by the
kindness of colored friends. | have at
present over one hundred cases under treat
ment, and the people around are afraid to
render the necessary assistance, so terrified
are they at the disease. The cotton crops
remain in the fields unpfcked. We need
provisions and medicines. Send what you
can spare; by so doing you will confer a
favor on our plague stricken community.
