Personal Paragraphs.
The late Signor Sella was not afrai(
to speak plainly even to the king. Ii
1869 he told Victor Emmanuel that {
radical reform was needed In the civil
list, whereupon the King replied ang;
rilv: Perhaps, then, l ought to take
a tutor?" Really" retorted Sella un,
hesitatingIy, your Majesty might need
one"
The shah Parsia is described as being
a tall, handsome man, over fifty years
old, having a broad, finely formed fore
head and piercing black eyes, with q
look of intellect and force. His lips are
hidden by a large and fierce looking
mustache. The heaviness of his chin
gives a slightly sensuoIs look to the lower
part Of his face. His expression, in
public at least, is stern but not cruel,
and he looks as one accustomed to be
g much Obeyed.
The Paris Court of Cessation has
quashed Judgment obtained some time
ago by Nine. Gelyot, the proprietress
of a hotel near the Sorbonne, awarding
damages for disturbance to her trade
caused by hOwlings of dogs undergoing
v~iyisection at that institution. The
court holds that the pathological expert
ments in question constitute a branch of
instruction given by the state, and that
NJ. Paul Bert, against whom the judg-
ment was obtained, and other professors
of every rank, accomplish by such eX-
periments a public service.
Pere Samson, one of the many dis
tinguished public executloners of
France, whose ancestors had been In
the same business for many years before
linn, said, when speaking of his aids:
II exact an irreproachable morality
from my assistants, and above all,
Christian faith. The condemned man
is upon the scaffold the priest speaks
to him Of eternity and of a God who
pardOns and awaits him. 1t is becom-
ing for us all to unite with the chap
lain, at least as far as our attitude is con
cerned. It WOULD be indecent for the
patient to perceive a smile of increduli-
ty or mockery on any of our lips. But
if you only knew how difficult it is to
find religious assistants! This is why L
am dissatisfied, and why 1 so often
change my coadiutors."
General r. E. Lees daughter, says a
correspondent of the st. Louis Spec
tator, were Mary, Annie, Mildred and
Agnes. Annie died during the war and
is buried at White Sulphur Springs, i'm
North Carolina, and Agnes died after
the war and sleeps beside her father and
mother at Lexington, Va, Mary and
Mildred are living and make their home
with their brother Gusts, who succeeded
his father as President of the Washing
ton University at Lexington. Mary has
travelled all oveF the world since the
war and both are most Intelligent ladies'.
Neither of the daughters ever married.
Mrs. Maurice Barrymore-she that
was George Drew-was discharged
from the Modjeska company for a very
amusing reason. 1t seems that on a re-
cent occasion Mime. Modjeska purchased
an elegant new pair of silk leggins,
winch she wore that night as Viola in
Twelfth Night" Mrs Barrymore had
not seen these leggins, and when she
came upon the stage shc was so much
fascinated BY their beauty that she
literally feasted her eyes upon them.
Tnis made Mime. Modieska very ner.
yous, Is she imagined Mrs. Barrymore
was guying her In fact, the madame be-
so queered and hoodooed by Mrs.
BaTrymore's close scrutiny o fher shape
" legs and new leggins that she came
very near breaking down in her lines.
The result of il all was that Mrs. Bar
Tymore was discharged for unp~rofession-
al conduct, despite her approximations
that she meant no wrong. The whole
circumstance strikes us as being one Of
the most remarkable experience the
history of the stage affords.
