WHY GAMBETTA BROKE MS ES-
aAGEMENT.

Gambetta is a bachelor; bnt he has not
lived so long without having at least con-
templated marriage. The story Of his
engagement TO an heiress IN western
France, and IFS sudden breaking Off gave
us fresh glimpse ofsbis character.
From the time of bis leaving his humble
homo at Cahors, till bis rise TO the high
est rank OF public personages, Gambetta
lived with a faithful, loving, devoted
auni, who had followed him to Paris, and
who made, everywhere be went, a
pleasant home for him. She was at once
his maid Of all work and his congenial
companion; and he was deeply attached
to her as she TO him. His engagement
to a handsome aud accomplished girl,
with dot Of seven millions, was q shock
TO the good aunt; bnt she yielded grace
fully to the inevitable. When the al :
rsngemenls for The marriage we're being
discussed, however, The young lady took
il into Der head to make IL a condition CT
their union, that The aunt should be ex
clnded from the eweslablishment, sh9
was scarcely elegant enough 70 adorn
gildcd salons. GAmbetta exclaimed how
much his aunt had been to him; the ric
beauty was only lbe more obdurate.
Gambetta took up his bat. and with >
profound bow, Adieu, said be; we were
not made 10 understand each other AMI
the msrfisge was put of forever.

Russian sleigh is tantamount only to

The houses and hovels Of the Russian
working class are as well warmed rs
those OF the aristocrscy. A stove is al.
ways the principal item of furniture In
them and these contrivanees are used TO
