A FRENcHY PRAcr1oAL JoKE-A yery

A FRENCHY PRACTICAL JOKE.-A very
strange incident took place the other
day in very high Partisan society, which
has created good deal of comment. A
Young and wealthy bachelor, inhsriting
private hotel of his own, ON tine point
Of marriage, gave q very gay supper to
close bis bachelor career. At this enter
tainment were present four of his in
innate friends, with four of the noted
dsmi-mondsines OF the city. Towards
the end of the supper, the host gent
away the servants. alleging that their
presence was annoying. Presently some
QUE spoke of certain kind OF fine old
wine that their entertainer used to pos.
ssss. and no Immediately invited all his
guests to accompany him to the cellar to
choose aome bottles Of that favorite vint.
age. No better fun could offer itself. SO
down they all trooped ct the heels of
their host. whs no sooner saw them oil
safely down the cellar steps than he
hurried out, taking with him the light.
He locked the cellar door on the outside,
took ont the key, snd then went tran
gully upstairs to bed. the next morning
he sent away all his servants. saying
that he was going into the country. Hs
then took his departure for parts un-
known, carrying with him the cellar key.
Three days later the gardener appointed
to take charge Of the grounds OF the hotel
happened to como thsre to look after the
welfare Of favorite plant. He was
amazed to hear faint cries proceeding
from the cellar. and called in the aid OF
the police. The unhappy party of ILL
used guests were then released, more
dead than alive. Fortunately the wine
stored in the cellar had aided Thorn to
combat the effects of hunger and cold,
or it might have gone hard with Thorn.
Their host has not since been heard Of.
1t 10 supposed that he is insane.
