German Snort.

A corso is one of the prettiest sights in
Italy or Germany. This form of amuse-
ment has only been comparatively re-
Gently introduced into the latter country.
Royal invitations are sent to the princes,
nobility and gentry to assemble at GER
tain place, and at the appointed hour
carriages of all kinds are seen vending
their way to the spot. All the occupants
have flowers, large and small bouquets,
often tied with gay ribbons. The car
riages drive slowly up and down in pro-
cession, or more frequently round and
round in a circle, brass bands PLAYING
the while. Then the game begins. The
bouquets are throw in every direction,
from carriage to carriage, or from the
occupants to the spectator. The old
emperor William enters into the sport
with zest. In his low carriage he is often
completely covered with flowers, tiny
bouquets that he launches right and left.
Well-dressed or pretty children in the
watching crowds are sure to attract his
attention, and equally sure to receive a
posey, while he, himself, is pelted from
every side. Not the least pretty part of
the play is to watch the juveniles rush
III, where bouquets fall, and seize a
prize, then with the calm audacity of
their innocence, throw it at some mighty
magnate whose word rules the nation.
Four-1n-hands are sure to be present at
this afternoon festivity, and from their
exalted position, the fortunate possess
ors of seats up aloft have admirable OPP
portunities for good aim. At Weisbaden
the corso always took place in front of
the Kursaal, and the drive was round
and round the circle between the arcades.
The FLASHING water in the fountain, the
parterre with its flowers, the tasty dresses
of the fashionable ladies, all lent their
aid to make up charming whole.

What Scares a Woman.
tFrom Puck.l

Notice a woman when she receives a
telegram. How it does scare her! She
trembles ike a dish of jelly, and mag
ines all sorts of things. Her husband
has fallen down the hstchway at his
warehouse. Her Johnny has gone out
sailing and isdrowned. Her sister Mary
has been scalded to death. Nothing
short of fatal accident quite fills the
bill of her Imagination. When she
finally summons courage to tear open
the envelope she finds message from
her husband warning her that he will
bring a customer home to dinner, and
she Immediately calls her children to-
gether and instruct them not to ask
twice for raspberries, as there is just
enough to go round, and give the visitor
few extra.

A short time since record was made of the
loss of Capt. Charles Sparks, of the whaling
schooner Edward Lee, who with boats crew
chased a school of whales and disappeared in
mid ocean. 1t transpires that the German ship
A. klockmSn, picked up the waits and landed
them at Pensacola. The boats crew suffered
terribly from thirst, the only moisture they
secured being from their own clothing during
the prevalence of mists. By the capture of a
whale they secured about a hundred pounds of
the flesh for food. On the eleventh day they
were met by a German bark, whose inhuman
captain abandoned them after giving each of
