over the Duke of Richmond to ask Lord
Beaconsfeld what he thought of it..
Next, by way of showing his political
impartiality, he took a seat near Lord
Cardwell, and received his fluctuations,
then he took tour of the house, and sat
a moment by Lord Cranbrook. Next he

4 small English terrier belonging to

it rang the bell, he was told to do SO
while the girl was in the room. The
little fellow looked up in the most intel

order, (his master Or mistress, forgot
which, chen at the servant, and refused
to obey, although the order was repeat

being told to do so. give the follow

it back, (Which would otherwise have

A Fair YnnOafar

Every day on the Via Toledo, the
finest and most frequented street in
Naples, might have been seen an old
woman, bent under the weight of years,
clad in wretched mourning, creeping
past the line Of shops, like moving bas.
relief, and sometimes hating at a
corner. She wore battered bonnet on
her head, black veil over her features,
and pair Of ragged gloves on her fingers,
She never spoke, she never put out her
hand for charity, but with kind of
growl whatever small coin the passengers
would vouchsafe her, That old woman 8
gains were 20 francs per diem; but who
was she? No one could tell, and she
never answered questions. She seemed
a spectre in the throng Of Vanity Fair,
an uncomfortable intruder, whom the
butter flies Of fashion were only too glad
to pay and get rid of. The other day a
couple of Municipal Guards laid hands
on her, and, bundlirg her into cab,
took her of to the Medicant's Home.
One Of the female attendants stripped
her, when suddenly from the filthy,
fetid envelope of rags emerged, Cinder-
ella-Eke, iusty young woman, consider
ably on this side of 80, fresh. colored, fat
aud propossess!ng. Her makeup was q
marvel of effect. Her curved spine was
arranged with 81 cord which passed
round her neck and was fastened at her
knees. Her hump was manufactured
from ball Of rags; her wrinkled aud
dirty white face was managed with
imitation parchment. On inquiry it
was found that this young woman was
of good family, and that the gains she SC
clever}y earned were brought regularly
home to her parents, who kept q night.
house, where scenes Of the most unhal.
lowed revelry were kept up till all hours

A Dogs ReVenre.

A gentleman connected with the
United States lake survey, in this city,
was engaged one day on the skirt of a
wood in Indiana. Near him, sleeping
lazily in the sun, lay his faithful dog,
Tiger. Thinking to have some fun with
the dog, he gave shout and Jump
into the thicket as if all the game ever
protected by game laws from marauding
hunters was thrashing through the
bushes: As he expected, Tiger came
bounding and barking to the fray, and
soon detecting the trick that was played
upon him, sneaked back to his lair and
lay down again. The surveyor resumed
his duties, and was hard at work two or
three hours, when, all at once, the dog
rose from his sleep, set his ears and eyes
in direction of the wood, gave a bark
and made a rush to the forest depths,
The surveyor followed the noble brute
to tree up which he was sending canine
congratulations to the prey; but when
the surveyor came and began anxiously
to scan the boughs for the hiding game
Tiger gave satisfied "Ah Noohi'' be-
slowed glance of contempt at the sur
veyor, and striking dignifed gait
stalked back to his couch with the an
pearance of dog that had squared u1
all accounts with the lake survey, ant
had left nothing due on either side.
