Story About Richelieu's Head

Cardinal Richelieu was buried in the vaults
of the Sorbonne, which, at the subsequent
revolution, was piliaged for five days. The
magnificent mausoleum of Richelieu was
saved with difficulty by the intervention OF
Senior: but a certain NJ. Cheval contrived to
possess himself of the embalmed face of
Richelieu, which he severed from the back
part of his head. For a while he boosted of
his relic, but time came when he was afraid
il might compromise him, and begged an
able called Armez to relieve him of it. The
able carried it-with him into Brittany, and
gave it to his brother, who, finding that the
skin which covered the face was likely t.
decay, had it varoished with yellow varnish
used in bird stutfiing. SO it remained until
about Ii years ago, when one day man ar
rived at the Tuieries with a small caske,
under his arm, which he presented to Napo-
lean III who found that it contained the mask
of the great cardinal. Finally it was restored to
its place in the mausoleum of the Sorbonne

A Hermit in a Ships House.
The ODD HONE AND QUEER HABITS OF 4
REcLUsE OF THE SEA BEACH.

Perched upon a high embankment ships
house sits in its plain simplicity. and II I'M
doubtedly once formed the quarterback OF
some large packet or merchantmen. Its little
square windows, scarcely peepholes compared
with the steamer outlooks of the present age
give the cabin lonesome appearance that
cannot well be described. The house evil

floor high al owe the tidewater line. 1t il far
away from any other human habi,ation. It's
its only near neighbors being boat repair ing
shop alongside, and out on the beach to low
water mark neat boathouse with the usual
accompanying landing float. This is the
home OF the hermit.
The lonely dweller does not seem very old,
though somewhat decrept. He is widower,
and has been by himself on this spot many
years. Nor over sociable, and mingling little
with his neighbors, ne is yet evidently re-
spected by them. He owns the neat boat
house and float in front of his humble home,
a. well a. several row boats and trim sloop-
yacht, which he lets. He makes his own
repairs upon them and keeps them in good
order for use. He is industrious and handy
with tools, and occupies his time away from
his fleet in doing odd jobs that are brought to
him, but does not, apparently, seek work.
He is not in the habit of letting strangers into
his unique dwelling, but one lady succeeded
a short time ago in getting an insight into the
mysteries of the interior.
She says the hermit, though very deaf, was
very courteous and sociable. and showed her
the three compartments into which the cabin
is divided, explaining the uses which the
many quaint objects in sight were put to.
The entire house was neatly kept. His cook

The British in Egypt.

One sign of the permanency Of the British
occupation of Egypt is, that classes for the
study of the Arabic language by non-commis
stoned officers and privstes have been opened
in Alexandria and Cairo, under the author itv
of the British war officer and at the expense
of the British Military Department in Egypt.
This is as it should be, for petty officers and
men must often suffer much inconvenience
when their duty brings them in contact with
the natives, who are ignorant of any tongue
but their own. British soldiers are not
famous for picking up languages, and this
free instruction in the Egyptian vernacular
will be of great benefit to them. Perhaps il
a few lessons in French were added it would
be great gain to the foreign soldier, for this
is the language of the European portion OF
the inhabitants, and without at lasst colloQuial
knowledge of it the resident feels himself
completely at sea. English is being more
spoken than it used to be, and is gaining
more ground every day. but it will never sup

Cholera statistics for this year and for
strides the plague has been taking since

Der of deaths in Italy and France last year
WAS about 90 900 The number of deaths
officially reported thus far this year from
Spain alone was y .347 up to Monday. 1t
is well known that these figures do not
tell the whole story. Moreover. there are
to be added the deaths this year in South
ern France. At this date last year the
plague had found only 1000 victims in
Europe. These statistics are full of mean
ing and should make our health authori-
ties more vigilant than ever.
