Mrs. Fanny Fairehild Bryant. wife Of

Christ, exemplary in every relation Of
life, atiectionate, sympathetic and sincere,

others"
n. p. Willis was the most foppish
editor New York ever contained. He
stood about five feet eight, was hand
somely shaped, and always looked as
though he had just stepped out Of a band
box. His associate, George p. Morris,
was a shot. dumpy, and, could only be
graceful when on horseback.
Mr.. Bryant conversed with no one after
being taken ill. During his lucid mo-
ments he seemed to be testing his own
mental condition. He would count "One
-two-three-four-" and 90 up to
"ten;" and then would start again, never
going beyond "ten," and keeping time
icebly with his hand.
Mrs. Jane Gray Swisshelm, in re-
Gently published letter, says: II begun
to work when was two and half years
old, and when was three, had won
reputation for needlework and rocking
the cradle. From that time until this

hours out of the twenty -four, and seldom
less than twelve"
Madame Litvinow is Russian lady
who has just received the degree of Doc
, tof Philosophy from the Philosophical
faculty Of the University of Bern. She
passed her examination with such bril-
liancy, especially in the mathematical
branch, that the faculty unanimously
agreed to attach the highest mark (eum
summa Iauds) TO her diploma. This item
is commended to the attention of those
who do not consider the female brain
competent for deep study.
Mile. Jeanne Donste is little pianiste
only seven years old, who has lately per-
formed before Queen Victoria. When at
Buckingham Palace, the little lady wore
white artificial camellia. "Who gave
you that9" asked the Queen. ooh! that's
my tailsman, your Majesty; Mile. Albani
gave it to me for good luck" Her Maj
esty went over to q corbeille, took out
red camellia, and gave it to the child, say
ing, swear that beside it, my dear, and
may both bring you two-fold share Of
good luck"
The Emperor of Germany, if one may
believe divers pleasant anecdotes concern.
ing him, is q stout disciplinarian. 1t is
said that at one of the recent State balls
he observed that young officer, in talk
ing to his partner, had accidentally
turned his back on an English lady.
Walking up to the unconscious offender,
he seized him by the shoulders and
turned him round, telling him at the
same time that he should never turn his
back to . lady. It is related also that
his Majesty happened to see another Of
fcer dancing rather awkwardly and i'm
mediately told his Colonel to inform him
that he was not to dance again until he
learned to do it better-an excellent in
