Paris Letter IN Lonuon truth,
The Duchess of Albany retains those
modest courtly graces which distinguished
her when she arrived in England. She did
not take the initiative of making an observa.
ton the whole evening. Her royal husband
bent over towards her twice or thrice to say
a few words. The lady in attendance hal an
easy carriage, and leaned back in her chair q
little so as not to Intercept her royal mis-
tress's view of the stage. She did not open
her mouth or appear to notice anything, yet
she contrived, in acting the etfaced part
which etiquette demands, to look dignified
and even independent. All through, no
stock or stone could be more inanimate
Still there seemed an undercurrent of lively
intellect
The Duchess must be very shy. In look.
ING forward she holds her head little down.
The contraSs.. she presented to the rastou-
quieres in the first tier, 10 native fashionable
bellies, to opulent Jewesses who go In for
chic and pschutt, to mondames whose names
are IN ell the "high life" journals, was very

joyed being stared at. What their tongues
could not utter their eyes declared. Their

Intelligent French Servants.

Paris Letter.
l have often spoken OF the intelligence Of
French servants in general, and l recently
heard of a case in which one of the class
turned out to be a good deal too intelligent
for his masters welfare. A French family
who CHANGED to possess a good deal of mas
size old siIverware heirlooms, legacies and
the like-wcnt off travelling few years ago.
leaving their apartments and their KEYS in
the charge of their man servant. They were
absent about three months, and shortly after
their return they dismissed their servant for
some trihing peccadillo. The other day one
of their spoons was accidentally broken, and
they sent it to a jeweler to he repaired. The
article was returned with the intimation that
the jeweler did not undertake to mend
plated ware. Indignant at the aspersion
cast upon his family silver, the owner of the
spoon called on the jeweler to demand an ex-
PLANTATION. An investigation followed, and
the fact was conclusively proved that of the
massive silverware not a trace remained,
every piece having been replaced by fac
smile, cleverly executed on plate. l also
heard OF all instance wherein a similar trick
was played upon a lady who left a splendid
diamond necklace and pair of antique dia-
mond pendants in the charge of confiden-
tian maid while she was absent on a visit TO
some friends in the country. Years after
wards she made the unpleasant discovery
that the stones in her ornaments had been re-
moved and had been replaced by paste.

d. DAVIS AND THE CORN DOCTOR.
The Heavy Weight Literally Sat Down on
the ChirOpodist-A Leaf from Life.

Denver Tribune
Some twenty years ago David Davis was
suffering with a severe bunion on his left
foot. At least the Senator supposed it was a
bunion, although, as he hadn't seen his feet
for generation, it was pretty much a matter
of guesswork. However, it hurt him more
than the Republican successes SO he called
in a chiropodist and when that specialist in
spected the damage and came to the surface
once more, he reported that the excrescence
was about as Dig as a ten-cent loaf, and that
nothing but the most careful treatment
would save the loot. Mr.. Davis accordingly
procured q shoe of the x-day-go-as-you-
please description, the toe of which he could
almost see himself when he kicked out
pretty hard. 1t was sad sisnt to watch the
presiding officer of our most dignihed body
hobbling up tine capital steps, supported by a
big cane and the leather pedestal referred to,
for six months after that. 1t was a new edition
of Bunion's Pilgrims Progress bound in
calf. Sometimes the bunion would grow
better and sometimes worse. Meanwhile
the corn doctor sent in his regular bill "for
digging out the Senator's foundation" as he
facetiously called it, At last the sufferer be-
came mbued with an absorbing desire TO
usually inspect the cause of his torments,
and one day, yielding to sudden impulse,
he limped into photograph saloon, pried
off his shoes and requested the operator to
take tin-tvpe OF his foot. When it was
completed he almost fell off his seat in an
apoplectic fit of rage, for the picture dis
closed small iron clamp attached to his
little toe the screw of which the chiropdist
evidently frightened or loosened at pleasure.
The Senator determined upon a frightful re-
yenge, and the next morning when the corn
doctor knelt to remove the shoe the man of
weight deliberately turned around and-sat
on him. But why dwell upon the sad par
ticulars? The corn doctor was removed to
the hospital, where, three months later, he
died, after having made a full confession,
and in the full hope Of glorious immortal

ton. had tried and failed to get him some
thing to do-had gone to every department
and bureau in vain. AT last | wrote to Miss
Dodge, and sent some of the young mans
poetry. AS usual in such woman, she I'M
derrated her influence, but she wrote me a
letter, of which the following is the half: II
have ordered two departments to send me a
frst-class office in fifteen minutes. If both
come | shall be embarrassed. If your young
gentleman could only take care of a horse

lettuce all summer for want of a gardener

letter cannot print, but the close will not
hurt anyone; "Oh, my dear friend, why Is
this world made so hard to so many; and
will another world make it up to them?"
