The Rcmarriage Of Wid0wers.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pa4l Mall Gazette.
In some remarkable statistics Of the
population Of Paris Just published by the
we'll known French statistician, Dr. Ber-
tillon, attention is drawn to the very large
proportion of Partisan widowers who mar
~ again. In 1879, out Of every LOCO
widowers sixty two and fraction married
again, q of the be1eaved ones seeking So
lace for their sorrows in union with widows.
Now, Of every 1000 bachelors only fifty
seven and fraction marry, and of these
only Ito marry widows. How is the
fact to be explained? Is it that those who
have once married have thereby shown q
prediction for the married state in gener-
al, as well as for special object in par
ticular, which naturally inclines them to
do their best to make good their loss? 1t
must be remembered, too, that the bach
elore include certain number of invalids,
lunatics and others, who are not likely to
have chance of marrying. But the fact is
certainly curious, and that it corresponds
to some general law of human nature seems
to be shown by the statistics of other
countries, though the proportion of remar
RED widowers is higher in France than it is
elsewhere.

UNHAPPY ARIST0CRACY.

Hard State Of the Male Members of the Inn
perial Family of Russia.
Geo. Augustus Sala, beholdirg the male
members of the Russian arjstocracy gather
ed at the funeral of the Gear, falls to pity
ing them as follows:
1t may be platirude to remark that illus
trious rank an income of a great many thous-
ands OF roubles year, a fine house to live
in, French cook and plenty Of servants,
and the breast Of your coat all covered with
stars and crosses, do not necessarily of
themselves confer on humanity the thing
called happiness; but it is expedient to re-
member this truisn in view of the opinion
that these adorn no states Of existence more
mOnOtonous, more useless, and indeed
more mischievious to society, and indeed
more generally deplorable than those of
the male members of the Imperial family
Of Russia. The grand Duchesses are
more fortunate. They have at least
the chance of marrying foreign protein
tates, of escaping from lis I'm
perial Majesty's Gaol-in which his I'm
perial Majesty himself is the chief prisoner
of conyersing with free people, and Of
breathing fres all. But here are these
young, middle-aged and elderly Imperial
gentlemen, forming caste apart, as isolat-
ed ana comparatively as numerous as the
Imperial caste Of the Yellow Girdle in
China, condemned to pass their lives, but
toned and buckled, and strapped up in the
tight-ftting uniforms, and to wear helmets
or forage GAYS en- their heads. They were
dressed in uniform when they were chill
dren; they live in uniform: and when they

ed to the revenue apportoned to their
Highnesses from civil list Of ten millions
of roubles year, but which is practically
unlimited, 60 far towards eating up the fat

The R0spitable Belgians.
From the London Times.


The Belgians are the only hospitable
people still remaining in Europe, and think
nothing Of asking perfect strangers to join
their family circle in a five minutes &C
quaintance. If, therefore, a traveller stops
ing is going on, it generally depends on
himself whether ne will be one Of the guests
OF not. Not long ago had gone to bed at
Belgian inn, when I heard resolute
knocking at my chamber door, aud some
giggling as Of some laughing girls outside.
1t was about 1870 o'clock P. NJ, and got
up, much wondering what could be the
matter. The landlord had sent his daugh-
ter and some of her young friends TO ask if
I would join midnight pilgrimage they
were about to make to the shrine of neigh
boring saint in fulflment Of a promise they
had made to deceased relative. got up,
joined their party, and it was certainly the
jolliest pilgrimage l ever saw or heard OF.
We walked along some country roads by
starlight, singing songs which were not OF q
particularly sanity character, and when we
had accomplished the object Of our mission
in quaint old chapel where the saint wor-
shipped we wandered out to picturesque
village and ate hot rolls and fresh butter
with some excellent coffee. AS we returned
by rail in the early summer morning, the
whole family seemed to have adopted me
into their connection, and treated me entire
~ as one Of themselves. The duchy Of
Luxembourg is, Impossible, still more patri-
archal in the manner of its people, and a
man know was invited by some people he
had never seen before to pass a month at
their chateau. WHAT'S perhaps still strang-
er he went was really well received, and
that the impromptu acquaintance thus
formed turned out. to be mutually satisfac-
tory. Belgium is now by far the cheapest
place in Europe, except some Of the remote
parts Of Italy; and in Belgium or in the
duchy Of Luxembourg the fare is every
where excellent, while il Italy enc may
have to live on maccaroni and tomatoes.
