Some interesting information re-

Colonial Parliament by the Treasurer.
From the document in question it APP

1887 miles, then Queensland with S,967

Stories OF Talleyrand.

Talleyrand was the only Bishop pos
sessing benefce in France who took
the new oath required by the State.
Mirabeau early deserted the talent of
this extraordinary man, who "dressed
like coXcomb, thought like deist, and
preached like saint Perceiving the
wide range of his abilities, he distin-
guished him as one of the most power
full and versatile of the men of genius
who then abounded in Europe. Through
every thing Talleyrand preserved a
sdnqtr0td which was inimitable. 1t was
seen alike in small matters as in great
One day, as he was mounting the steps
of his carriage, he spoke to an indvid-
ual whom he had hitherto pretended not
to recognize, but whom he knew very
we'll This person he had seen for days
near his door. And who are you, my
friend?" Il am your coachmaker, my
lord" "Ah, you are my coachmaker;
and what do you want, my coachmak-
er?' 81 want to be paid, my lord"
All, you are my cOachmaker, and YOU
want to be paid; you shall be paid, my
coachmaker." "And when. my lord?''
You are very inquisitive,' said the
Bishop, as he settled himself in the new
carriage which he had not paid for
Many were the scenes which took
place between him and Napoleon. On
one occasion, Napoleon having said that
if he thought his own death likely, he
would take care that the Vice-Grand
Elector should not survive him. Tailev-
rand quietly replied that he did not de-
sire that reason for hoping that his
Majesty's life might be long preserved.
Another scene has been thus described
by NJ. Mole: 'At the end of the Coun-
ell of State, which took place Just before
the Emperor started for the campaign
of 1914, he burst out into some violent
ordinations of his being surrounded by
treachery and traitors; and then, turn
ing to NJ. de Talleyrand, he abused him
for ten minutes in the most violent and
outrageous manner. Talleyrand was
standing by the fire all this time, guard
ing himself from the heat OF the flame
with his hat; he never moved limb or
a feature; any one who had seen him
would have thought he was the last
man in the room to whom the EN-
peror could be speaking; and finally,
when Napoleon, slamming the door
violently, departed, Talleyrand quietly
took the arm of NJ. Mollieu, and Gmped
with apparent Inconsistencies down
stairs. But on getting home he wrote
a dignified letter to the Emperor, saw
ing, that if he retained his present dig
nifty, he should be by right one of the
regency; and that as he could not think
of holding such charge after the opin-
ion his Majesty had expressed of him,
he begged to resign his post, and to be
allowed to retire into the country He
was informed. however, that his resig-
nation would not be accepted, and that
he might stay where he was. 1t is re-
ported that FOuche and Talleyrand once
actually came to blows in the very
closet of the Emperor upon the subject
of the misapplication of the secret
funds, of which they mutually accused
each other. After listening to their ac-
cusations and iustifications on both sides,
Napoleon turned them out of the room,
saying: $50 along; you are both of you

Az INTERESTING ITEM.

Those who are interested in the progress of
civilization in general, and the town Of San
Antonio in particular will read with pleasure
of the advances made in music and musical
matters within the past year. The musical
public have found that apiano, which few
years back would have cost $500, is now sold
at $500; an organ that would have cost them
SIso can be bought for 500. Those who for
merly had to live unsteady starved because
they could not afford to spend such large
sum as the price of piano, now buy one on
easy installments. The credit of this great
forward stride in the march of progress is due
to the enterprising firm of J. F. Jones & Co.
That the public appreciates the benefits al
forded them by this great reduction in prices is
evident from the fact of their bestowing such
a liberal patronage on the house which has
done so much for them.
We would advise all those who want good,
substantial, durable musical instrument Of any
kind to call and examine the stock at 22o
Commerce street, and can assure them they
will get better value Tor their money there than
anywhere else in the city.

G,~ chiurae Of potash to use on the mouth Of

"Tne cole water had nothing to do with it,"
We told him, and asked if his brother had

"Yes," he replied, she ate heartily of fish
after he had taken the Calomel, and suppose
the fish caused the Calome to salivate him"
''No, the FISH had no more to do with it
