Wanted the Boots.

A strolling troupe, of whom Hortense
Schneider was one, announced " La Tour
de Nesle for the last performance. An
overflow resulted. The actors were in
high spirits and full of fun. Mile.
schneider, discovering an old pair of rus
set boots behind the scenes, put them,
by way of joke, into the hands of Bur
ldan as he was going on the stage. Ac-
cepting of the awkward handful, he
placed the boots ON a table on the stage
and quietly went through his part;
when another actor of the name of Phil.
ippe d'Aulnay, took possession, and
made his exit with one under each arm.
In the next act, Marguerite de Bouro-
gogne entered carrying the mysterious
boots, and passed them to Gaultier d.
AU.ney; he turned them over to Orson;
in short, before the curtain fell the
boots, though foreign to the piece had
been borne in succession by every per-
sonage. The audience watched for their
appearance, while wondering what it all
meant, and applauded the players to
their hearts content. Twelve months
atterward another company set up their
bills in Agen, and "Le Tour de Nesle +"
attracted everybody to the theatre; but
before the first act was over there were
symptoms of displeasure which gradually
increased until the uproar was so great
that the curtain fell on a half played
piece; benches were torn up, lights put
out, and only the arrival of the mayor at
the head of troop of soldiers put an
end to the tumult. Then the mayor
turned on the poor manager, who pro-
tested his inability to understand how
the riot came about. "That is all non
sense" returned the mayor, "Your
conduct is disgraceful. You have mis-,
led the people and mutilated a master

Something About Gambetta,

On leaving school, Gambetta betook
himself to the study of the law, and in
1859, in his twenty-frst year, he was
duly called to the Paris bar At twenty
eight he was still briefess, but confident
of his own powers. At last his chance
came. Retained to defend many of the
victims of political prosecutions, the de-
tense of Delesclure, the editor of the
Reveil, was intrusted to him. He forgot
his client, but he overwhelmed the en-
pire with an irresistible power of invec-
tive. "Bench, bar and audience were
spell-bound. The daring advocate pro-
ceeded without interruption to the end
of his scathing impeachment of the gov
eminent, and when at last he sat down,
exhausted and dishevelled, it was felt by
all that new and incalculable force had
been introduced into the politics of
France. Next morning the orator of
the Chafe Piocope awoke and found him.
self famous. Destiny had clearly
marked him for great statesman, and
/ told you so was on every Bohemian
lip"

Naptha and Banzina.

We have often been asked the differ.
ence between benzine and naptha, many
people wanting to know whether naptha
didn't include benzine, or whether il
wasn't the same thing under a market.
able name. A prominent refner saws
that benzine is the first production that
arises from the process of refining crude
oil, and bears the same relation to naptha
that that distilled does to refined oil In
other words, benzine is crude naptha
The reason it is not quotable under the
name OF benzine, therefore, is because il
has to be reduced to naptha before it is
marketable in any extensive quantity.
The process that benzine is subject to
produce naptha is not seperate business
but is carried on by the regular oil-re.
tiners in the same stills and retorts that
the refined oil is produced. The benzine
is treated with sulphuric acid and the
result Is naptha, which is in large de-
mand in Europe, especially in France
for the purpose of producing analine
dyes, while it is also put to many other
purposes.
This demand is partially instrumental
IN keeping up its price, but its rapid
evaporation also has a tendency in that
direction, as any large seller of it has tC
take into consideration the depreciation
that might take place by the time he
sells 1t on that account, and for the same
reason buyers give no more orders than
immediate necessities require.
All reiners, however, do not produce
naptha, but some of them sell the ben
zine, which is largely used for fuel pur
poses, for which it is much better than
coal, and it is not only absolutely cheap
er, but gives steadier heat.
