that never-to-be-forgotten scene in Hyde

An anti-military spirit had set

fully sensible Of the change.
off we had been convicts disembarking
from hulk, we could hardly have met
with less consideration. The only per-
sons who took any notice of us were the
Custom-house officers, and they kept us
for hours under arms in the cold while
they subjected us to a rigid search.
These functionaries were more than
usually on the alert at this time, because
a day or two before brigade of artillery
with guns loaded to the muzzle with
French lace, had just slipped through
their fingers" But even greater was
the insult offered the gallant Seventy
third, as related by Sergt. Morris: "Be-
fore we entered the town (Coches-
ter) it was suggested that
we ought to be decorated with laurel,
and on passing gentleman's grounds
where there was plenty of it growing, he
was civilly requested to allow us to take
some, telling him the purpose for which
it was wanted. He not only gave per-
emptory refusal, but also applied to us
the term 'vagabonds.' On the circum-
stance being reported to our command
ing officer, he told us he would halt for
half an hour to allow us to get laurel,
and an intimation was pretty plainly
given that we might get it at the ground
we had Just passed" The hint was
taken, and an ample supply to decorate
both colors and caps was incontinently
gathered.

Was IL the Sea Serpent?

li~ilSFlIlS pItAs.l
One day last week, while party of
five persons were quietly fishing on the
west side of Conesus Lake, about three
fourths of mile from its head a mon
st"r serpent made its appearance on the
top of the water, within two rods of the
spot where two of the party were stand
ing. One Of the persons Immediately
called loudly for assistance in capturing
it, and on hearing the noise the monster
raised its head at least six inches above
the water, took survey of the premises,
and Immediately sank out of sight. Two
of the persons plainly saw the serpent,
and described it as being fully five inches
in diameter and about twenty feet long,
with long head rounded at the snout,
and neck much smaller than the head
or body. 1t was of Il very dark brown
color, and its large eyes glistened in the
sunlight, giving it terrible appear.

Receipts at the French Theaters.

ian lne ltdT hO0nu.l
The variations of the receipts of the
theaters, compared with the state of the
temperature, offer a curious subject of
inquiry. At the Theater Francais reg
lister is kept of the receipts made by each
dramatic work, which may almost be
called barometrical. And it is the only
way of arriving at a correct result. A
masterpiece which has to fight against
the thermometer is inevitably lost mas
terpiece-done brown (shaIl we venture
to say?) by the heat. At that theater,
by the side of the entry of each nights
receipt, note is made of the state Of the
weather, mathematicaIly demonstrating
that the slightest variation of tempera-
ture has a perceptible influence on the
amount of money taken. When the
weather in summer is absolutely fine.
without the slightest indication of a
change, the receipts descend to mini
mum. An overclouding of the sky
causes them to rise; slight shower sends
them up l0' or l2'. 1t is proved that a
heavy rain setting in fills the treasury as
surely as it does the water-butts.
