A Fl ench BOnne in San Francisco.

To suppose that the French bon
nes brought back from "Yurrup" by
recently.Feturned matres-familias, and
whose white caps and aprons have at
tracted so much attention of late in the
streets near the principle hotels, are
employed for the purpose of "learning"
the children French, is mistake.
Monsieur Henry de Charville, a genial
assistant at the Maison Doree, is en-
titled to first place for the discovery of
the error. He was sauntering up
Market street, near the Palace, the other
morning, on his way to where his short
gingham jacket hangs on peg behind
the door, when he spied brace of fe.
male kids. with hair-banged foreheads
and black stockings, in charge of DAM
SCI, the roseate hue of whose cheeks,
the quite gray of whose skirts, the delic-
ious whiteness of whose cap and apron
in short, the completeness Of whose
Parsisian ''get-up"-brought him back
to the Boulevards, the Champs Elysee,
the Jardin des Plantes, and all the rest of
them, Dofhng his hat, with his politest
bow, as was his won't i'll the home of
his boyhood, he saluted Mademoiselle
thusley: bon jour, ma'mselle Je suis
enchante &c vous voir ce matin." Mad
emoiselle looked at him minute, and
then, in the choicest ParisiaD, replied !:

GENTLE WORDS.

A young rose in the sumn er time,
Is beaulifalto me.
And glorious the many stars, -, r.
That glimmer on the sea; z =
But gentle words and loving hearte,
And hands to clasp my own,
Are better than the brightest flowers,
Or stars that ever shown
The summary warm the grass tolife,
The dow, the dropping flowers,
And eyes grow bright to see the light
OF autumn's opening hours:
But words that breathe Of tenderness
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.
It ia not much the world can give.
With all its subtle art,
And gold and gems are not the things
To satisfy the heart:
But, oh. II those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth.
Have gentle words and loving smiles
How beautiful is earth!

commotion down stairs and the heavy
tread of a man. Creeping out of bed
and putting his ear to the floor be soon
made out that the woman's son had re-
turned, home after considerable ab-
sence with the confederate lines.
Dan listened for long time, catching
words enough to keep the run of the
conversation, and when he heard both
moving across the floor he slipped into
bed again. 1t was we'll he did SO. The
stair door opened, light appeared, and
as mother and son ascended, she said:
''Of course he's a fool! Do you
think I've got so old that I can't tell an
idiot when see him."
"Well, these are suspicious times"
muttered the son in reply, and both ad-
vanced to the bed.
Dan seemed to be fast asleep. One
hand all cramped up was on the quilt
in plain sight, and he had his face
screwed up until the lonesome look
ought to rave melted heart of stone.
''Ther. don't be look like a fool?"
whispered the mother.
HE may be one, but it don't do any
hurt to let the patrol take him into our
outposts," answered the son, and both
descended the stairs.
Dan must get out of that. Not by
way of the widow, but down stairs and
out of the front door. The patrol could
not be far of, and he had no time to
spare. Hastily resuming his garments.
he softly descended the stairs. While
waiting at the door he heard the son 20
out, and after two or three minutes he
softly opened the door.
No one was in the room. Tiptoeinq
across it, he opened the front door and
stepped out, but only to stand face to
face with the son, a ) Dung man ofabout
25, and of good muscular development.
For what seemed long minute they
looked into each others faces. Then
the confederate said:
'Throw up your hands, Mr.. Yank-
the game is played?"
II just came in to bid you good.
night" coolty answered Dan, and he
gathered and made rush.
The confederate did not follow, be.
cause he realized that Dan was running
directly for the approaching patrol.
He was under full headway when he
met them, or saw that he was going to
run into them, and swerved aside.
''Shoot that Yankee!-kill him! kill
him! shouted the confederate at the
house, and the patrol opened fire in re-
sponse.
Dan was not over thirty feet away,
and the gloom of the night saved him
from being riddled. One bullet struck
him in the left arm, just above the ell.
bow, inhicting a painful wound, but the
others went wild. and he soon distanced
pursuit. Dan did not get into Center
vile that time, but he was there s
month later.

Habit.

There was once a horse that was
use to pull around sweep, which lift
ed dirt from the depths of the earth.
He was kept at the business for nearly
twenty years, until he had become old,
blind, and too stiff in the joints to be of
further use. So he was turned into a
pasture, or left to crop the grass with
out anyone to disturb or bother him.
But the funny thing about the cid
horse was that every morning, after
grazing awhile, he would start on q
tramp, going round and round in a cir
Gle, just as he had been accustomed to
do for SO many years. He would keep
it up for hours, and people often stop
ped to look and wonder what had got
into the head of the venerable animal
to make him walk around in such a
solemn way when there was no earthly
need of it.
But it was, the force of habit. And
the boy who forms bad or good habits
in his youth, will be led by them when
he becomes old, and will be miserable
or happy, neutrality-suspicious. Days.

should get upon foreign soil, or, before
being apprehended, reach any district
where the civil law was in force. Mr..
Chandler then urged that Davis should,
by all means, be secured before he had
chance to leave the seeded states;
and inquired as to the situation of the
troops in the south, and the probability
Of their defeating an attempt by Davis
to fly through Mexico or by boat on
the Gulf. President johnson replied
that no way was open for his escape,
but that he would be captured, dead or
alive. The supposition that Davis was
implicated in the assassination plot was
then discussed with some difference of
opinion, and finally the President
asked Gen. Butler to indicate plan
for the prosecution and punishment
of Davis and his associates, for the use
of the government. Gen. Butler consent
ed, and the conference ended.
With the preparation of the memo
randum thus requested, Gen. Butler oc.
cupied almost his entire time for sev-
eral weeks, investigating precedents
and examining authorities with the ut
most thoroughness. During this work
he was repeatedly in consultation with
Mr.. Chandler, who saw all his notes
and made many suggestions; before it's
completion Davis had been captured
and sent to Fortress Monroe. Gen.

"Fools can see in the dark as we'll as

The spy was out of the scrape, in one

wanted to reach and pass the confeder.

counter people next day who might
want him more fully identified. Bni

The chamber was a half-story affair

out. He crept across the floor and tried
the sash of'one. 1t was old and shaky,
and yet he worked at it for q long ten
minutes and gave up in despair. The
sashes were net nailed, but so warped
that to get them up or down or out
would make noise enough to arouse
everybody about the house. The sash
in the other window could be raised,

The Mnrde ron Ricrcle.

A party of four, two ladies and two
gentlemen, who were riding on horse
back, emerged at about six o'clock in
the afternoon from Prospect park into
Sackett street, Brooklyn. They had
Just got across Seventh avenue when a
carriage was torn along by two horses
wild with fright and dashed into the
group of equestrians, who it seems had
no time to escape. Miss Porter, young
lady of seventeen, was instantly thrown
from her horse apparently by collision
with the rushing carriage. AS Miss
Porter fell her horse fell also, crushing
her in terrible manner. The animal
at once sprang to its feet and dashed
across the street, dragging with him his
unfortunate rider, whose habit, as usual,
had become entangled with the saddle.
The horse plunged and reared desper-
ately in his terror, and by struggling to
free himself inflicted upon Miss Porter
fatal wounds. The ill-fated girl was
taken into the house of neighboring
physician, and died a short time after
ward.
In the meantime the runaway horses
attached to the carriage had hurled il
violently to the pavement. The foul
ladies who were within, as we'll as theii
colored coachmen, escaped serious harm,
but all came within hair's-breadth OF
destruction. The same may be said OF
Miss Porters' three companions, neither
of whom received physical injury. AL
this miserable chapter of accidents is
directly attributable to a bicycle which
had been spinning swiftly along Seventh
avenue, and at which the horses tool
fright. 1t is to be hoped that the ridel
of that bicycle has now learned lessor
which may last him his lifetime. 49, New

The Reason Why.

Why does the young man, who whilom
greeted you with unaverted gaze and a
pleasant good-morning, now veil his eyes
in their down dropping lashes and pass
you by without word, either good, bad
or indifferent? Why is his countenance
sicklied DER with the sickly smile of all
controlling self-consciousness Why
his beseeching, appealing look when his
young acquaintance is about to address
him? Why lodges he quickly down the
ide street rather than meet the throng
of young fellows it was once his
ehiefest pleasure to meet and be with ?
When entering doorway, who can say
why he stoops so low? Why this hui
miiity, this reverence, in one who was
wont to carry his head so high? Why
eonsorts he exclusively with his elders,
and why does he avoid his contem
poraries as he would pestilence? The
answer is easy to find, He has on hi

The Order Of CIeavers.

i'll attendance at the Presbyterian coun-
Gil. One day in the week the butchers
had festival of some kind, and were to
have a grand parade. That morning
DR.. Cuyler visited barber shop to get
shaved. When the knight of the razor
had stretched his customers neck and
pushed his head as far back as possible,
and filed his eyes, nose and mouth with
lather, he said to him interrogatively,
and speaking as a friend:
Well, you're going to turn out to-
day?"
Eh?" said the doctor.
81 say you're going to have a big
display"
"Going to---what? 1 didn't catch

81 say you butchers are going to turn
out. You're butcher, amt you?"
"Well, not exactly. L eat good deal

Still, l belong to an order closely con
nected with butchers"
"You do. What's that?"
"The Order of Cleavers."
"Oh! and what do you do?"

The astonished barber had sufficient
presence of mind to collect his fee from
the member of the Order of Cleavers
