A Joke Of GEORGES Sand.

Inc second volume OF the correspondence
Of Georges Sand has come apropos for those
who have made up their minds, now that
the Due de Fcrnan- Nuncz has given the last
ball Of the season, that it is quite time for
them TO leave the city. The authorcss gives
some very amusing accounts Of the practical
jokes she played on those who importuncd
her or indulgcd in the practice of interview
ing-morc honorcd in the breach than in
the observance in those days She tells how
a lawyer from La Chatrc made up his mind
to sec her. He arrived at Nohant at noon.
and met Rollinat, who, after looking him up
and down. said: Good night, sir, | am 90
ing to bed The lawyer, puzzled, exclaim-
ed: what, at this time of day." YES"
retorted Rollinat, lit is the custom here"
The limb of the law was not to be denied
Georges Sand hid herself in the bedroom be-
hind the curtains. She allowed him to en-
ter her chamber, where he was received by
an elderly and most respectable female, who
was fat, fair and forty, but who with her
obesity and her dirty hands might have been
taken for twenty years older. She was dressed
in an old flannel dressing gown, and her hair
hidden beneath Il silk handkerchief gave
her strangely venerable appearance The
lawyer had long conversation with her,
talking of her different books, and showing
so much enthusiasm for the lady that he
quite overlooked the grammatical errors she
made every now and again. When lie took
his leave he saluted the grave and respecta-
bic parsonage who had received him to the
very gound, Georges Sand laughing all the
time behind the curtain at the Difference
shown her femme de chambre. who had rep
resented her Oh this occasion.
The correspondence will be read with
much pleasure by everyone. 1t contains
annecdotes referring to men who are still
living or who have been remembered bv
many. Thus, for instance. Balzac is refer
red to. Georges Sand declares that the au-
thor of the "Comede Humane" was as mad
as any man could be- She tells how Balzac
dined at her house one day. and that at ta-
bic he declared he had discovered another
marvel-'a blue rosen-for which the En-.
glish and Belgian horticultural Societies
had promised reward of 100000 He also
added that he could sell each packet of seed
for five francs, and the whole invention
would not cost him more than tivcpence
Rollinat asked Balzac why he did not sci
about the cultivation of the ''blue rose" al
once, since he was poor and in want of mon
ey. "Oh you know" said Balzac, Il have
so much to do now; but you may be SUI :
that this matter shall have my best atten
tion soon."-London Globe.

of wind carried of his hat and sent it
dancing along the street, while he, I'M
able to leave his horse, was gcstculaling
franlically to paSscrs by, who, inscnsibIc
to his appeals. were enjoying the scene
just then the Queen drove past in her
pony-chaisc and, seeing the poor mans
distress, She stopped and ordered "
groom to get down and run after tho
hat. Her majesty waited till it was
brought and restored to It's owner, who,
now more embarrassed than before, did
not know how to express his gratitude
She then bowed her acknowledgements
of the awkward attempt he made to con

Superstitiops About Bees,

Curious supcrstitiOnS prevail in Eng
land as to the relation between bees and
their owners A writer in CasscWS
Aaga:Wo mentions several of these fam
ces as follows:
"All of 'em dead, sir-all the thirteen.
What pity it is!N
What's u pity Mrs, -? Who's
dead?n
"The bees, to be sure, sir. Mrs.
Blank, when she buried her husband,
forgot to give the bees bit of mourn
ing, and now, sir, all the bees be dead,
though the hives be pretty nigh full of
honey. What pity It's folks viii be so
forgetfulr'
Mrs, --- continued to explain that
whenever the owner or part-owncr of a
hive died, il was requisite to place little
bits Of black stun on the hive; otherwise
the bees would follow the example Of
their owner.
Mrs. rs husband, who listened
while this scrap of folklore was being
communicated by his wife, now added
"My wife, sir, be always talking a lot
of nOn-scnscs sir; but this about the
bees is true, for I've seed il myself"
This custom Of putting the hives W
mourning is very common. and isslrict-
ly adhered to, from an apprehension OF
It's omission being attended with fatal
consequences.

family, scarf Of black Grape is applied
to each hive ON the occasion of the fun.

Thought hive of bees at an auction OF
the goods of Il farmer who had recently
died The bees seemed very sickly, and
not likely to thrive, when my neighbor 3
servant bcthought him that they had
never been put in mourning for their
late master.
con this lac got piece of Grape and
tied it to a stick, which he fastened to
the hive Atcrthis the bees recovered,
and when ! saw them they were in a
very nourshing state result which
was unhesiatingly attributed to then
having been put in mourning
A curious super-tltiou, custom for
merly prevailed in Dcyonshire of turn
ing round the bce.hiycs that belonged
TO the deceased if he had any at the
moment the corpse was carried out OF
the house.
Some years ago, at the funeral of n
rich old farmer, Il painful circumstance
occurred. Just ny the corpse was placed
in the hearsc, and the visitors Ca large

procession Of The funeral, a person call

A servant who had no knowledge Of
such custom, instead of turning the
hives round, lifted them up, and then
laid them down on their sides. The
bees, thus suddenly invaded, instantly
attacked and fastened on the visitors
1t was in vain they tried to escape, for
the bees precipitatcly followed, and left

A Good Story.

just cast your eye over this story
which we heard "norated' on board
the old steamer Globe, coming from
Buffalo. just twenty years ago. Our
travelling companion was Canadian, a
jolly fellow, who loved n joke, told a
good story. feared God admired the la
dies and was withal an abomnable
StaNmercr We hadn't been long aboard
when the Captain called our attention to
remarkable looking individual seated
at the other end of the cabin whom he
declared was the uglicst looking man
that ever lived; wherenpon our friend
from over the line offered TO bet the
drinks he had seen a worse one in the
Storage The bet was taken. and Off
he started to find his man and bring
him up Tor comparison. He found the
fellow who was Il bit of a wag, as an in
tolorable homeIy man is apt to be, and
with the promise Of "nip" readily
gained his assent to the trial. As they
entered the cabin, Kanuck with an mir
OF conscious triumph turned to direct
attention to his champion, when he
found him trying to insure success by
making faces. St-st-st-st-op. said he,
no-none of that. Stay Just as God Al
mighty made YOU You ca-ca-cant be
beat. And he wasn't
