WHEN a small boy was observed to
steal up to the Raymond Miss Jail,
surreptitiousl ly pass weapon resembling
a crowbar in to a prisoner, and then
speed away, there was much alarm and
excitement in the village. The Sheriff
summoned a posse, which surrounded the
Jail, while the valiant officer and his
deputies moved upon the prisoner, who
was discovered in the act Of dcvouring a
sausage of extraordinary longitude. This
innocent article of nourishment had been
magnifed by their fears into a deadly
Instrument.

M. BLANoUI, recently elected to the
French Chamber of Deputies, has been
visited in the prison at Clairveaux, where
he is still confined, by newspaper cor
respondent He strongly advocates the
cause of the revolutionary party, which
alone, he says, can produce the reforms
necessary in France, and he insists these
can only be accomplished by unchrstian-

that the Government will grant him
amnesty.

A BIunder and Its Reward.

[Fotney's Progress Translation.
During his first visit to Paris NJ. La
sale, a distinguished German, presented
himself at the house of well known
lady, to whom he had sent letters Of in
PRODUCTION in advance. When the SER
want opened the door and received his
card she conducted him to the boudoir and
told him to be seated, saying: MADAME
will come Immediately"
Presently the lady entered. She was
in dishabille and her feet were bare, COW
cred only with loose slippers. She bowed
to him carelessly and said:
"Ah, there you are good morning"
She threw herself on a sofa let fall a
slipper and reached out to Lasalle her
very pretty foot.
Lasalle was naturally completely as
founded, but he remembered that at his
home in Germany it was the custom
sometimes to kiss la1y's hand and he
supposed it was the Paris mode to kiss
her foot. Therefore he did not hesitate
to imprint a kiss upon the fascinating
foot so near him, but he could not avoid
saying II thank you, madame, for this
new method of making lady's acquaint-
ance. 1t is much better and certainly
more generous than kissing the hand"
The lady jumped up, highly indignant.
"Who are you, sir, and what do you
mean"
He gave his name.
"You are not, then, a corn doctor?"
~ am charmed to say, madame, that l
am not"
"But you sent me the corn doctors
card"
1t was true. Lasalle in going out that
morning had picked up the card of a
corn doctor from his bureau and put it
in his pocket. This, without glancing
at, he had given to the servant, who had
taken it to her mistress. There was
nothing to do but laugh over the joke.
Mrs. Ponsonby de Tomkyns writes:
"My dear Mrs. Talbot Browne, we are
so dreadfully distressed; but a horrid
previous engagement prevents us from
accepting your quite too delightful invi-
tation to dinner on the" Viva voce. }

Early in the seventeenth century there
stood a theater on the eastern side of
Drury Lane, between Pitt Place formerly
known as Cockpit Alley and Orange
Court. The neighborhood was then open
and airy enough; at the back of the
theater grass field was to be found in
front, westward to St. Martins Church,
very few houses had yet been erected
The playhouse was known inditierently
as the Phoenix, because of the sign-board
it exhibited, or the Cockpit, in relation
to the purposes it had originally served.
The fighting of cocks was an admired
spectacle and entertainment in Queen
Elizabeth's time, and indeed long after
ward. And between cockpits and thea
tiers some resemblance existed. The cho-
rus to Shakspearc's 'Henry w demands:
"Can this cockpit hold
The vasty te dS OF France? or may We cram
Within this wooden . the very ca>ques
That did alright the airat AginCUuTt?'
A cockpit was readily convertible into
a theater by cutting off a segment of the
circle and raising upon it a platform or
stage for histrionic uses. The Cockpit

the London apprentices claimed and ex-

there assembled mob of disorderly per-
sons in Lincon's Iun Fields who pres
emily attacked and sacked the Drury
Lane playhouse, destroying the decora-
tions, rending the costumes and burning
the players books. 1t may be that the
public in this way demonstrated their
opinion that cock-fghting was preferable
to the drama.
