Gen. Simpson and q RulIy.

When the allies occupied Paris the French
oIlcers, at all times superior with the small
sword, ana equal with the pistol to English
men, took every opportunity to insult the OIL
GERS belonging to the army OF occupation and it
has been alleged that there was club or French
men, the members OF which had sworn to devote
their lives TO the killing OF one by one of the
English army. There was one Frenchman who
pOaSted or having killed dozen OF English Off
GERS, and promised TO go On IL this work oae

those hated AnglaiS occupying his chair: a chair.

placed his sword on one side began TO insult

WHY DR.. TANNER GOT DIvoRCED.-About ten
o'clock two ladies visited the Doctor as he lay
reclining In his cot In the gallery, and with one
of them, who was evidently an extreme believer
In animal magnetism, he conversed for some
minutes. He told her that whereas he derived
strength from meeting the gaze OF those who
were in sympathy with him in his task and
who fully believed In his honesty Of purpose, he
lost considerable vital force every time ne was
subjected TO the rude stare OF those who had no
faith In him, and who viewed his experiment
merely from curiosity mOnger'S standpoint.
AS this lady seemed disposed to proIOng her
Chat Cd bttnit,tnl DR.. Tanner soon lay back re-
s1gnedly, closed his eyes and lapSed inUo silence
Even lady, unless when featuring an erring
spouse, finds a conversation in which the talk
ing is al on one side somewhat monotonouS
so the magnetic lady soon Abandoned the field.
After Sleeping Tor half an hour The Doctor
woke, and sitting up On his cot, turned 10 the
Herald reporter, and said: 81 guess ougho to
say something about that woman OF mine who
has been making statement, see, In the Far

contrary to my advice, she persisted in continu-

OF 1ndigeSt1ble food, and as natural conSe-
quence, she was always complaining that she
was sick. Well, stood this kind OF thing till
could bear it no longer. l found at last that it
was quite impossible for any reasonable being
to live on terms OF comfort with a woman who
