May | ask the name or this drains
with which your professional career i:
likely to be brought TO a close?"
The name said Talleyrand, has
not yet been finally settled upon, but
| tancysit will be called The Revo-
luton Of $780,"
As he had said these words Talley-
rand was about to Withdraw, when
Potter threw of his wig and decora-
tionS, and fastening after him, ex-
cused himself for his rudeness in the
first instance. Shaking hands with
him cordially, the great diplomatist
babe him farewell.
"Adieu, Monsieur Potter; which
of us came off second bestin our little
tilt 2"
Your excellency did" replied the
actor; but It was the first time that
you ever condescended to allow your
self to be Outdone.'
TX.
A few days later the monarchy fell,
the elder branch Of the Bourbous was
replaced by a new dynasty, and Talley-
rand went to London as plenipOtenti-
airy of the court of France.
He and Potter met once again,
when both were travelling, each in his
own carriage, one bound to the vaults
of Valencay, one for the cemetery of

saIt Wnter fsr lle Eyes.

Many persons are suffering incouye-
nience ii not pain from weakness Of
the eyes. This sometimes proceeds
from local inflammation, and sometimes
from other causes. Persons who
have been thus afflicted say they have
derived almost immediate, and in some
cases permanent relief from the appli-
cation of salt water as a bath and
when the pain has been aggravated,
form a compress saturated with salt
water laid on the eyes, and renewed
at certain intervals. Opening the
eyes and submerging them in clean
salt water has been found beneficial
to those whose eyesight begins to fail.
The solution should not be more than
a tablespoonful of salt to a pint of
water, and less if the eyes are weak
and very sensitive.
