Broom the Frcnch Papera.

When Roqueplan was director of
the opera, they brought him n day a
danseuse of phenomenal thinness, but
whose meagerness of body had not
prevented her for engaging in numer-
Gus adventures.
Well, what do you say?" asked
the introducer of the danseuse.
Il should say" said Roqueplan,
after contemplating the lady, THAT if
| should see seven of such as that in
Il dream, and | were at the head of the
government, l should not hesitate an
instant. | should order all the gra-
naries to be filled without delay"

In the course of his travels in Equa-
torial Africa,a and explorer comes across
a bright, intelligent mulatto, who was
the slave and bOdy-servant Of a negro
King.
Come with me to Europe he
says to the slave you may be happy
yet.
The mulatto hesitated.
Come repeated the traveller /;
here you are but a slave, yonder you
will be a servant.

In the Pyrenees there is an inter
esting stage-line between two villages,
one on each side of a mountain
10000 feet high. After the coach has
proceeded a little distance and reached
the steep part of the ascent, the con-
ductor begs the passengers to get out
so as to ease the horses; they are even
requested to push behind and help the
poor animals to drag the huge vehicle
up hill.
When at last the summit is reached,
each traveller, wiping from his fore
head drops of sweat as big as kidney
beans, cOngratulates himself on the
breezy ride down the steep slopes Of
the descent which awaits him.
There is where he fools himself, fol-
the conductor, with a sweet smile,
begs the gentlemen to be kind enough
to hang on to the coach behind and
act the part Of a Westinghouse air.
brake, or else the horses may be
injured.
In this manner the terminus Of the
line is reached, the passengers having
pushed the coach all the way up one
side Of the mountain and held it back
all the way down the other.
In spite of this there is a rush fol
places on the stage daily, as there has
been for half a century,

A danceress-it there has some
years-was having embarked herself
for New York. To the end of dazzling
the Yankees she took with her house
hold, her carriages and horses-every-
thing.
Her first appearance was an immense
success. She was called before the
curtain our-ele en-fo times,
and flowers, doves, evergreens, bon
bons and seven-tnirty bonds were
rained down upon her in deluges.
She was delighted, but her ecstacies
were redoubled when she beheld a
frenzied crowd, hoarse with cheering,
precipitate itself toward her carriage,
~unharness the horses and insist on
drawing her to her hotel, amid cries
of This way for the City Hall"
" Here's yer nice new receptions ~
intoxicated with her triumph, the
.danceress sleeps late next morning,
aud after breakfast orders her carriage,
meaning to take short drive through
the city.
Your carriage is in the hotel sta.
bles, says the servant have you
any choice of horses ~
Certainly harness my own team,
those splendid blood bays, the gift Of
Prince Whaziznamski?
oh! those hat were unharn essed
last night?'
Yes. | no longer need envy Fanny
Elssler for if the gentlemen of Phil
adelphia turned out to draw her car
riage, mine has been drawn in tri-
umph by the honorable aldermen of
New York"
Yes, ma'am,' says the servant
but the gentleman who took your
horses out haven't brought them back
-c'es celia qua Hannah"

Divorce, said a wife to her hus-
band what is it derived from :"
1T came from a Latin word, my
dear. from divertere."
(which means-?'

The other night, at a large party.
they were complimenting a deputy on
his last speech in the chamber.
Yes, said one of his friends, III
was very good, but | found it a triAe
long"
That was because my target didn't
seem to comprehend all at once, re-
sponded the deputy.
What do you mean by a targot2''
Why, whenever | make a speech
| always pick out the least intelligent
looking head in the audience, and
then | explain and explain until
see some sign Of comprehension in the
face Of my target"
just at this moment a certain dep
uty Of the Left Center (whose name
the Figaro says it will kindly suppress)
comes in, and precipitates himself to.
ward the gentleman who has made
the speech
You were charming-absolutely
charming, says the newcomer but
why did you stare at me that way all
through your speech?"

How They Turned Black.

In the island Of Ceylon a small force
of native gunners is maintained to do
the drudgery work of the royal artil-
,lery. The men are called Gun Lascars,
and, except that they are not intrusted
with the sole management OF the ord
nance, are disciplined and dressed pre-
cisely the same as the royal artillery;
indeed. they are the counterfeit present.
ment of that corps, bar their black
faces. A battery OF artillery fresh from
England was being landed at Colombo,
and few of the Lascars were on the
wharf. The European arrivals. una
ware of the existence of their copper
colored "slaveys," were anxiously in
uuiring who and what the "niggers'
in blue and gold were, niggers in uni
form, so like themselves. "Sergeant,"
says one man, addressing veteran,
sswho is that bombarder-him with the
Christy minstrels' burnt cork -faceP'
"Himp Why, don't you know hima
Tommy Atkins, of A battery. Sure you
remember him at WoolwichP" "Tom-
my! That Tommy Why, sergeant,
he's blackr' .Of course he's black"
replies the sergeant /" It's the hot sun
as does it all. First it browns, then it
reddens, and then-if you stay here
long enough-it blackens you, just as
you see bread toasting afore the fire.
Atkins has been in Colombo more than
twelve years; and il you are not in
sBailey's gedowns;' (Anglice. the
grave-yard) by that same time, to
fommy's complexion you'll come, and
a shade or two blacker perhaps. Write
that to your sweetheart by the next
overland mail. ~ Chambers Journal.
