COUNT BEUsT, who has just gone tc
Paris as Austrian Minister, is said to be
the wittiest Ambassador in Europe
He is said to have that happy faculty,
which the late Lord Palmerston pos
sessed, of parrying any direct inquiry
in way which means, "Dont ask too
much" Count Beust is also a poet
and musical composer of more than
average merit, and the piano in his
working-room shows in which direction
his cultured hobby lies. .
Gen. MOVES, American Minister at
Paris, recently gave dinner to a num-
Der of American celebrities, which was
hghtened up by the presence and genial
chat of Mark Twain" In the course
of the dinner he expressed his want of
admiration for the general run of
Frenchmen, and thought that, so far as
looks were concerned, "most of them
would be improved by mutilation." The
elegant "Twain " is now at work on an
other book of travels. Baron Tauchnitz
has arranged to print German edition
OF The Innocents Abroad" and sent
M. L. handsome check for the honor.

constructing tramway eight miles in
length into the forest, and the trees of
convenient access to it will be felled.

When the trees are exhausted on this
line the tramway will be run out in an
other direction, and the process of ex-
haustion repeated. The lumber is
taken in cars to Jacksonville, Fla, and
there placed in schooners for New
York.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON is II years
old. He lately gave very interesting
lecture on Memory" in Boston, for
the benefit of the Old South Church.
He begged that no report should be
made of it. The Herald, of that city,
says: Mr.. Emerson is now unequal
to the effort to speak to large audi
ence. His form is still erect; his pierre
ing eye is as keen as ever; his smile
has lost none of its inefable sweetness;
but still it is evident that old age is
coming upon him rapidly. He read his
lecture at small desk, in a sitting
posture, his faithful daughter guiding
and prompting him whenever he lost
his place, with his audience of some
200 persons so thoroughly touched with
emotion by his infrmities that they did
not mind what they lost, provided only
they could look into his serene face and
watch it's varying expression"
