A very clever reply to somewhat
satirical remark was that given to Louis
XIV. by Cardinal Richelieu, who was
uoblcman rs well as o priest. A ce!e-
brated Archbishop Of Paris was appoint
ed preceptor to his majesty. One day
he preached q notable sprmon before
the court of France, which touched prin-
cipally upon the duties of tho nobility
'Ah," said the king to Richelieu. "the
preacher has thrown o vast quantity Of

few have fallen into the royal park" A
courtly etiquette Of expression is OBJ
scryable i'm this answer, with which We
may presume that even royalty itself
could in nOwise be offended. One OF
the most distinguished incidents Of Zim-
mcrmann's life was the summons which
he received to attend Frederick the
Great in his last illness in 1856. Ono

A leading woman Of fashion is repre-
scented as announcing that she has taken
o census OF one Summer resort, and can
count sixty girls who will never marry.
The cause Of this destined celibacy is
explained to be that "they are brought
up to spend money, and must marry il
or remain single. But the men Of their
own set will not marry except for some
great advantage, and they know to a
dot that the sixty girls 1 have counted
