Etiquette Extraordinary.

E A writer in the London News, chatting
about the transfer of the seat of Govern
ment from Versailles to Paris, talks of
the rigor of etiquette in bygonc days,
and cites very remarkable instance of
it. 1t seems that Louis Quatorz, 'sstrol-
ling one day in the park On the arm of
Nine de Maintenon, and followed by his
court. OF about five hundred persons, came
unexpectedly upon a servant girl armed
with broom. pail and duster, who had
been scrubbiug in one of the pavilions.
She ought by rights to have made her
way back to the offices of the palace by
a roundabout way, 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
that person saluted by the king should
be bowed to by the whole court, the poor
girl, as she stood trembling and ashamed,
received enough homage to make her
well-nigh mad. First the Prince and
Prlncesses, the Secretaries of the State,
the Dukes and Peers, the Knights of his
Majesty's orders, the Bishops, Chaplains
and lesser nobility, all had to make
profound obeisance, while the ladies
stopped and curtsied to the earth final
ly the Kings guards had to crrry arms,
and whole tribe Of lacqueys, bearing
lap-dogs, cloaks, fans and smelling-bot-
ties, had to do their duty in the same
fashion to their colleague the blushing
girl with the broom and pail"

A Close Shave.

A picturesque incident is related con-
cerning General Chanzy during the time
of his imprisonment under the Paris Com
mune. He was closely watched, and
when one morning he asked tor barber
to shave him, that individual was only al
lowed to enter escorted by two national
guards. The day was dull and the light
bad, and the knight of the basin moved
the genera. about several times, complain
ing that he could not see and that the
guards were in the way. Grumbling, they
fell back a little, and the barber began
his work. Presently he observed that he
had never seen a man more difficult to
shave, and adding, how hollow your
cheek is! Come, general, a Ia Promenade ~
he thrust his thumb into the generals
mouth to press the cheek outward. The
prisoner was for the moment naturally
enraged, and was about to protest when
he became aware that some small object
was lying on his tongue. The shaving
finished and his visitors gone, he placed
himself in the only position in the cell
in which he could not be seen, and took
from his mouth what proved to bea little
roll OF paper, on which was written,
Keep up your courage; you are not
forgotten; this will not last long. Saisset.'' y
It was true prediction. Ina few days
the general was liberated by an order
from the Central Committee.

Queen Victoria's Privacy.

Is it not possible that a not unnatural
inclination on the part of the Queen to
guard against exhibitions Of snobbery
may be carried too far? l am told that
when Her Majesty passed through Ports
mouth, the other day, on her return from
the continent, the whole resources Of the
dock -pard establishment were concentrat-
ed upon the enterprise of preventing com
mon eyes from gazing even for a moment
upon Her Majesty. Orders carefully
written ont on a large foolscap reached
the dock yard from the Admiralty, direct
ing that no person other than the select
few officially engaged should, upon any
pretense whatever, be allowed even to
approach the railway jetty where the
Queen would disembark. The Admiral
Superintendent, improving upon these
instructions, issued directions to the mas
ter-rigger to prevent any of his men as
semb13ng at the windows of the rigging
loft. The keen eye Of the Admiral Super
intendent had also taken note of the adj
vantages supplied by the color-loft Of
permitting an undisturbed view of the
top of the railway carriage in which the
Queen would ride. Strict orders were
accordingly issued to prevent the women
in the color-loft from assembling at this
hinhly favored point of view. That
nothing might be wanting to the COM
.pleteness of the arrangements, similar
precautions were taken in respect of the
storehouse near the Jetty and OF the Offices
abutting thereon, a storm signal having

Noble Seats.

Louis Blanc told the following in re-
cent conference at Troyes: Ond day ar
rived at Versailles before the opening of
the session. An usher informed me that
two persons wished to see me. saw the
visitors; they were two Americans, Of the
purest Yankee type, who presented them
selves to me as unknown friends. They had
read my books, they said, and wished
particularly to see me. I thanked them,
and thinking they probably wished to at.
tend session, 1 offered them seats.
'No, they said; s'all we want is to see
the chamber where the sessions are held. .
I conducted them thither As soon as
they had entered, without even casting a
rapid glance to take in the appearance Of
the chamber, they said:
"Could you show us NJ. Gambetta's
seat9'
Much surprised at the curiosity, I new
ertheless acceded to the desire of my
Yankees, and pointed out to them the
place where NJ. Gambetta, who had not
yet become the president of the chamber
habitually sat. Thereupon, the two
Americans, one after the other coolly, Sc
dately, methodically, with closed lips,
serious air and fixed looks, like men en-
gagged in performing the grave duty and
one demanding precision, sat down on
the chair, rose and sat down again, one
after the other, as if they were testing the

The Sand Blast.

3.
Among the wonderful and useful in
ventions of the times is the common sand
blast. Suppose you desire to- letter
piece of marble for a gravestone; you
cover the stone with sheet of wax no
thicker than a wafer, then cut in the wax
the name, date, ETC., leaving the marble
exposed. Now pass it under the blast,
and the wax will not be injured at all,
but the sand will cut letters deep into the
stone.
Or, if you desire raised letters, flower
or other emblem, cut the letters, flowers,
etc., IN wax and stick them upon the
stone; then pass the stone under the blast,
and the sand will cut it away. Remove
the wax, and you have the raised letters.
Take piece Of French plate glass, say
two feet by six, and cover it with fine
lace; pass it under the blast, and not a
thread of the lace will be injured, but the
sand will cut deep into the glass wherev-
er it is not covered by the lace. Fow re-
move the lace and you have every delicate
and beautiful figure upon the glass.
In this way beautiful figures of all
kinds are cut in glass, and at small
expense. The workmen can hold their
hands under the blast without harm, even
when it IS rapidly cutting away the hard
est glass, iron or stone, but they must
look out Tor finger nails. for they will be
whitfield off right hastily.
If they put on steel thimbles to pro-
tect the nails it will do little good, for
the sand will soon whittle them away:
but if they wrap piece of soft cotton
around them they are safe. You will at
once see the philosophy of itr The
sand whittles away and destroys any hard
substance, even glass, but does not affect
substances that are soft and yielding, like
wax, cotton or fine lace, OF even the hui
man hand. Portland Argus.
