LORD Lyons has now been twelve
years the British Ambassador in France,
at a salary of $5o,ooo year, with fine
house rent free. The last four rulers of
that country have all liked him. In the
early days Of the Republic he was sup
posed to have been sceptical as to its sta.
bility; he did not even take the trouble
to have new passports printed with the
words: "French Republic" When
Theirs came to dine with him there was
some little question as to the ceremony
to be observed. Lord Lyons determined,
1t least in one respect, to accord royal
honors to his guest. In announcing DIM
ner, the m jor- domo bowed to NJ. Theirs,
AID said: m. le President de la Repub-
bque est servi." The little old man
the1eupon gave his arm to Madame
Theirs and the twain, as though they
had been Ceaser aud his wife, led the
procession to the diniug-room.

He Suspected Everybody.

Some said he was naturally suspicious.
This may he partly true But others say
that in early life some unfortunate affairs
had an unhappy effect on his moods and
temper. II felony was committed IN his
neighborhood, and there hung a mystery
over the question of the perpctrator, our
hero looked wise and seemed to hint that
he knew the man. In this way he once
came to be seriously suspected of being
an accessory after the fact. But he was
wholly innocent. r.4 s
One day lie was walking down the
street and saw some men talking and
laughing. Occasionally they looked up
the street. BY the time he reached the
group his face was very red. He looked
vexcd. He supposed their laughter was
In some way at his expense. Fortunate.
ly, hepaused long enough to hear that
they were making merry over the saying
and doings of political meeting Of
their own party.
One lent him book, which had been
read with care, and several passages were
marked with q pencil. He supposed TIE
owner of the book intended to hurt his
feelings by calling special attention to
certain clauses, and yet it was a fact that
the owner did not know that there was q
pencil mark on any page.
In fact, our friend often suspects some
evil intention in the kindest acts
of his best friends. A strange min.
lister once delineated in the pulpit the
character of litigious man. Our friend
went home silent, if not surly, and com.
planned Of personalities in the pulpit. {
~ His lite was full of uncasiness without
cause, except as found in his undue SEN
sibility and susplciousness. Things said
in a general way he, with strange per-
versity. applied to himself. He trusted
few, If any. He had an astonishing facil
ity for giving bad turn to I'LL that was
said.
His influence was not good. His chill
dren caught his spirit. At school they Of
ten considered themselves sligAted. Thus
family teuds were cngendcred. It would
he Islander to ssay that one could
not speak to him. But his suspicious
threw him into fits of Jealousy. At times
his countenance indicated malignitv
His unhappy turn of thoughts had made
him shy OF his pastor, stiff toward his
family physician, and awkward toward
all. Even his wife was the worse of his
evil surmisings.
Ofcourse he was unhappy-indeed mis-
cradle. The signs of his conscious wret.
chedness were infallible. All this WAS
quite unnecessary. He was his own tor
mentor If he should read this paper he
would say, 1.-THE author of that piece
misunderstood me. Why will not people

would make many excuses for him. But

THE Emperor Frances Joseph, of Aus
tria, is certainly a generous host. He
gave dinner the other day to Prince
Nitka, of Montenegro, and when it was
over escorted his guests out into the park
surrounding the palace. As they stood
there smoking, a beautiful landau drawn
by an equally beautiful pair Of horses,
swept up the avenue. The Prince ob-
served that the harness ami panel bore
tho arms of Montenegro, whereupon the
Emperor turned aud informed his guests
that the carriage and horses where intend
ed as surprise to him, and begged him to
accept them rs souvcnler ot his visit to
Vienna. With sparkling eyes the Prince
thanked his host. The dinner which
this episode succeeded was picturesque
one; the service was of solid. gold, the
centre pieces being well-known antique
works Of art. Prince Nitka wore a
Montenegro dress, and was quite for
midable from the email arsenal of knives,
daggers and chased pistols stuck in his
belt. The meal itself barely lasted ali
hour, few dishes being the fashion ut on
Austrian court dinner-but each dish is
master piece. r.....-r
