Cheerful for the Prince.

Jean Bart, a French naval commander Of the
seventeenth century, was at one time ordered TO
convey the Prince de Cont, a candidate for the
throne OF Poland, TO Dantzic, voyage fraught
with danger, as his vessel must pass through the
waters where were cruising the hostile fleets OF
the English and Dutch. During the passage, the
little squadron was chased by the enemy and
Bart, as soon as they were reported, called his
little son TO him, and gave him whispered instruc-
tons The pursuit continued for eight hours and
al the end OF that time the enemy vas no longer

where the prince had been sitting, In ignorance OF

"Why," answered Bart, shat we've been chased
by three s0-gun ships ana nine frgates; we've
run them out Of sight, and there's nothing fear"
but, Monsieur Bart, II they had taken us?D
ION, monseigneur, that was quite impossible,
"kh! what? Why impossiole?'
because" answered Bart, II had stationed my
brave 500, my Cornil In The gun-room with a
lighted match, and strict orders put II into the
powder II we should be overpowered."

A Startling story.
A DEAD NAN THAT ATE BREAD AND DRANK WINE
THE AWAKENING.

A Startling story.
DEAD NAN THAT ATE BREAD AND DRANK VINE
THE AWAKENING.
From the st. James Gazette.
An elderly gentleman residing in the Rue Roche
chouart, Paris, who was supposed to be dead, has
suddenly come to l1fe He has nephew in Paris
who, being duly informed OF his demise on sunday,
repaired at once to the house with his wife to keep
watch over the mortal remains OF his uncle until
they should be borne to their last resting place.
On Monday evening, as the lady was tired her
husband sent her to the drawing room to take
some repoSe on sofa, and q servant having placed
some wine and broth on a table, he threw him-
sell into an arm chair in the BEDROOM and soon
went soundly asleep. On awakening at in the
morning he found that the broth had disappeared
and that the bottle OF wine was haI empty? Be-
coming alarmed, he went to his Wife In the
drawing room, reused her and told her
what had happened. She returned to the
bed room with hiin, but the pair had hardly
reached the door wnen they heard a noise. They
paused on the threshold, and, TO their consterna-
ton, voice bade them not TO be afraid but TO
come In. The husband entered the room, but soon
rushed out with his hair standing on end. He had
seen his uncle's ghost. Tie old man was sitting,
enveioped IN sheet, on the side or his bed. The
supposed corpse had the utmost difficulty in get
ting his panlc-stricken relatives to understand
that he was not dead after ALL ~ am alive!" he
repeated, adding that the preparations Tor his
funeral had no. escaped his notice He had been
In lethargy, and, waking up, had helped himself
70 the broth, which had done him good. Hearing
some one approaching he had jumped into bed as
he was anxious not 10 Cause any alarm; but Rich
ara Was himself again. He felt perfectiy recov-
cred, and certainly on closer examination the
uncleS appearance by no means belled his words
The refreshments had come In most oppOr, unely
70 restore him, and as he was much pleased with
the anectionate attention which his relatives had
SHOWN him alter his supposed departure from this
world, everything was soon made happy and COM
PORTABLE all round. The doctor OF the quarter had
not yet officially confirmed the demise or the wOr-
thy uncle, who seems to have taken new lease Of
LIE.

Mr.. Blaine told the assemb!age that the fact of
There being surplus OF products showed pros
meant pauperism. He said: "Mr. Atkinson stated
IN u well-constdered argument in July last, that
since 1865 the wages Of foremen, overseers and
other specially-Skilled workmen have advanced

an advance OF 80 per cent that factory operatives
