A Man with Two Hearts.

In Spain man of wide sympathies is
generally called ca man with two
hearts" But it by no means follows
that man with two hearts is man of
wide sympathies. A Spanish peasant
living in the vicinity of Madrid in
petty quarrel killed an aged woman, and
would have murdered her daughter
also had not the latter succeeded
in making her escape. Thinking
himself robbed of great pleasure by
the girls escape, he revenged himself
by repeatedly stabbing the corpse of the
mother. Singularly enough, remorse
preyed so quickly upon his mind that he
Immediately hanged himself. But the
rope broke, and he would, in all proba-
bility, have survived his attempt ut
suicide had he not broken his skull in
the fall. On a post-mortem examination
the man was found to have two hearts
instead of one; both being of regular
size and presenting no peculiarly of
any kind.

Hayanas Made from Straw Paper.

The great conundrum in the Cuban
trade, "What becomes of all the straw
paper ?" is easily solved. 1t is satu-
rated in decoction made from the
stems and refuse of the choice Havana
seed leaf, and, when properly treated
with fiavoring extracts, licorice root,
SIENNA, ETC., makes n filling for cigars.
Besides, it burns with pure white ash
precisely like that of the genuine leaf,
unlike that yielded by any other mate
rial. Specimens of prepared paper are
described as closely resembling the leaf
in appearance, taste and flavor. The
small particles of rye which remain in
the straw and are ground up with the
pulp, being of an oily nature, do not
take the dye, and look like the whitish
mold of a real leaf. Among other vir-
tues it is claimed that the lime used in
bleaching the paper neutralizes the eff
fects of nicotine, SO that no improve
ment seems possible in the use of straw
in cigar making, except that it may he
to leave out the tobacco altogether.
Coffee-makers succeed in making people
prefer chiccory and beans to any other
mixture, and why should not rye straw
excel in making "the weed" The Oh.
lection offered against the use of rye
paper at home is that it would not be
"genuine.

AN eminent Russian railway con-
tractor, M. Gubonin, has been presented
at court. He was serf until the eman-
cipation in 1862, when he started for
himself as q stonemason, and presently
embarked with others in railway con-
tracts. His first great undertaking was
the Vitebsk and Orel railway, in which
he made large sum of money, enabling
him to undertake other railways alone.
He has made altogether 1000 versts
of Russian lines. On the anniversary of
the accession he presented to the EN-
peror a commemorative present in silver,
an allegorical representation of the reign,
bearing the inscription, "From His
Maiesty's loyal subject and ex-serf,
Gubonin."

QUEEN VICTORIA has been made to
understand that the sovereign of En-

neither her personal animosities, petty

quis of Harrington and Earl Granville
to form Cabinet, she was obliged, very
much against her will, to send for Mr..
Gladstone, who, more in accordance
with the desire of his party and the
country than at the request of her Maj
esty. consented to form Cabinet
