Excessive Etiquette.

The most elaborate and complicated
system of court etiquette ever devised
was that in vogue during the reign Of
Louis XIV. of France. Grenville Muir
ray, the Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Ne,rS. relates an anecdote that ANUS
ingly illustrates the rigidity rs well rs
the absurdity of that social code:
King Louis, strolling one day in the
park on the arm of Nine. de Maintenon.
and followed by his court of about 500
persons, came Unexpectedly upon u ser.
want girl armed with a broom, pail and
duster, who had been scrubbing in one
of the payilions. She ought by rights to
have made her way back to the offices OF
the palace by roundabout road, but
being late she had taken short cut, and
this brought her in view of the king.
His majesty removed his feathered hat
and made her a low bow, and as etiquette
required thata person saluted by the king
should be bowed to by the whole court:
the poor girl, us she stood trembling and
ashamed, received enough homage to
make her well nigh mad. First, the
princes and princesses, then the secre-
taries of State, the dukes and peers, the
knights of his plajcsty's orders, the
bishops and chaplains, the lesser nobill-
ty, all had to make profound obeisance,
while the ladies stopped and courtesied to
the earth; finally, the kings guards had
to carry arms, and a whole tribe of lac
queys bearing lap-dogs, fans and smell
ing-bottles had to do their duty in the
same humble fashion to their colleague
this blushing girl with the broom and
nail.

An Insane Artists Freak.

A sensation was created in Union
square, New York, by the apparition OF
a. nude man rushing from house into
the square and startling the occupants Of
the seats about the fountain, apparently
intending to take bath in the basin:
He was a man of immense stature and
long black beard, every feature of his
face giving evidence of insanity: He
was captured by the police and.le back
to the house from which he emerged,
where he had studio. Becoming
calmer, he gave his name rs Adam
Springfield, Pole by birth, an artist by
profession, but soon relapsed into inco-
herency. 1t has been ascertained that
more than three years ago he had been
deserted by his wife on account Of his
failing fortunes, who had taken her two
children with her to the West. The
neichborhood has before been disturbed
by his growing insanity. Springfield is
not known to have any relatives in this
country. In his room an unfinished
picture stood on IN easel, oil paintings
were carelessly scattered about the floor,
a couple of trunks lay open, and above
the mantel hung the gold medals which
attested the artists merit. Only one
picture in the room had any significance.
It was small one-the portrait of q
beautiful. proud woman - which was
found with its face turned toward the
wall. Perhaps it was the reminder the
unhappy man still clung to of the woman
who had abandoned him when his for
tunes failed,

The Evil Of q Bad Temper.

A bad temper is curse to the posses
sor, and its influence is most deadly
wherever it is found. 1t is allied to
martyrdom to be obliged to live with
one of a complaining temper. To hear
one eternal round of complaint and
murmuring, to have every pleasant
thought scared away by their evil spirit,
is a sore trial. 1t is like the sting of a
scorpion-a perpetual nettle, destroying
your peace, rendering life a burden: Its
influence is deadly; and the purest and
sweetest atmosphere is contaminated
into deadly miasma wherever this evil
genius prevails. It has been said truly.
that while we ought not to let the bad
temper of others influence us, it would
be rs unreasonable to spread n plaster OF
Spanish flies upon the skin, and not ex-
pect it to draw, as to think of a family
not suffering because of the bad temper
of any of it's inmates. One string out OF
tune will destroy the music of an instru-
ment, otherwise perfect; so if all the
members of church, neighbor hood and
family do not cultivate kind and af:
fectionate temper, there will be discord
and every evil work.

Grappled by q Mexican Lion.

A Texas frontiersman and hunter
named Franklin, a dweller on the lone
some banks of the headwaters of the
Little Wichita, left his rancho for the
purpose of bagging some wild turkeys
and other game for breakfast next morn
ing. -,
The hunter was dressed in the broad
slouched hat so common in Texas, with
boots over trousers, a six-shooter belted
in his waist, and his trusty rifle slung
over his shoulder. His venture was
quite successful, Franklin being a center
shot. Following the banks of the LittA
Wichita, he brought down three fine
gobblers with his piece, and, huntsman-
like, tied all of them with a leather
thong. slung the turkeys over his
shoulder, and started for his sylvan
home, or rather camp.
The shadows of night had already
partially fallen on the murmuring river,
and the somber gloom of deep solitude
fallen on the trees that line the banks OF
the Wichita. Franklin was plodding
along in the dim shades, unconscious OF
danger from man or beast, when he felt
q sudden shock, rs if a great load had
been precipitated on his back. Utterly
amazed and stunned, the hunter arose
from the STOPPING position into which he
had been thrown, and grappled with his
unknown and mysterious assailant. His
first idea was that it was some devil-tlsh
by some curious chance turned loose on
land.
A fierce combat ensued. His assailant
crappled with him, but seemed to direct
lis strength against the freight carried
on his back. Franklin could not use his
gun or his pistol. but struck at the var
mint" with his fist, and endeavored to
free himself from the intruder much
after the manner of the character IN the
"Arabian Nights" on whose back was
saddled the Old Man of the Sea. At last
the animal, fof such Franklin at length
perceived it to be, succeeded in scamper..
ing off with one of the turkeys, followed
by the hunter, who now drew his gun
rs we'll rs knife.
He fired one shot at his assailant. But
this only enraged him, and the animal,
making deadly spring, alighted on
Franklin, at the same time planting its
claws deep into his neck and cheeks.
The hunter was also fearfully torn and
mangled about the arms, legs and other
parts of the body, where the sharp teeth
of the brute were rapidly planted.
AFTER the last spring, when the animal
had fastened its ugly claws in his face,
Franklin plunged his knife into his
enemy, who fell dead on the ground.
On examining the varmint" the hun.
ter found it to be Mexican lion Of
large size. Such was his own en-
feebled condition, after such death
struggle, that it was with difficulty
franklin reached his rancho, where his
wounds were dressed.

GOndOlaS.

The gondola Of the present day is, in
general style and character, just What it
was in the days ofVenice's glory, but the
gondolier of to-day is doubtless less
picturesque person, for he is of the ordi-
nary type of his class, and rs lazy asthc
day is long. Gondalas, according to their
size, have one or two gondoliers. who
row with a peculiar motion, standing up
in the ends Of the boat; these use but one
oar, which is quite long, The gondola
is always painted dead black, without
a line of color to relieve its sOmber APP
pearance, but the better class of them are.
for all that, quite ornate in the elabort-
ton of wood-carving and upholstering.
with neat and cosy cab covering the
center. which is generally taken off in
fine weather. The gondola. is the only
means of conveyance between different
parts of the city, though all points may
be reached on foot by means OF the mar.
