American Pronunciation Of French.
The pronunciation of French phrases
which have come into common use by
people who haven't much knowledge of
French is rather an interesting study, says
the New York Graphic. In the restau-
rants, for instance, there is gem
orally as much confusion about the
names of French dishes as there is over
French names on the American stage.
There is an uncertainty as to the plural OF
charlotte russo, for instance, which is GcR-
orally rendered ''charlotte russes." The
other day n waiter solved the question.
though, by calling ont. when two charlotte
r,isses had been ordered. 1.-TWO Charley
Rosses!" This reminds one somehow
of the local pronunciation OF the Hotel
DIES Isles. down at Mount Desserts; the
natives call il "Dc Sizzle's hotel" Years
nRo i'm the course of his wanderinRs he
came upon a lovely island i'm the straits
Of Mackinac, which was called Bob
Longs. Curious i'm matters of local NOM
cnclature, he inquired h Bob Long was.
and by means of that tradition his name
became fled to the island, and il was ex-
planned that the name came from the
French and was spelled Bots Blanc,
s.only,' said the local authority who was
consulted, ssthat is the way IL is pro
nounccd, you know" But this attempt nj
a genuine French pronunciation, like the
Wisconsin Dudamore for Buttes dos
Morris, is n good deal better than our Dess
Bross-cs street.

cried; and when twenty voices replied: Unto the alley" he commanded the soldiers to fire that way. For two minutes rattling and useless fusilade was kept up-useless, except that three or four persons were wounded, whose first knowledge of the trouble came from the bullets that struck them. To the consternation and rage of the off cers it was clear that the prisoner was out of sight
 The whole affair had occurred so suddenly and unexpectedly, as we'll as SO quickly, that even those who saw every motion that was made, including Louis Hunter and his uncle, had some difficulty in describing it accu- rately It seemed tolcrably clear, how ever, that, as the prisoner came near to the alley, he had suddenly tripped up one of his guards, knocked down the other, felled the Captain with one of the muskets and sprung into tho alley.
 All was uproar and confusion. The crowd continued to pour into the street, | and rumors of what had happened ran like wild-fire back to tho Paseo, which the troops were leaving. The whole force was at once broken up into squads and sent forth to SCOUT the city; drulls resounded, half the garrison was turned out under arms; and soon the loud boom of gun from the ranl- parts of the Moro told Havana and all the country round that d pris oner had escaped. The alley and every housc in it were thoroughly searched; but no discovery was made. It was expected by some of the officers that the re- capture would be easy, since the fugi- tive had been plainly seen by thou sands, and being bareheadcd and dressed in white, any attempt to se- cure other clothing would certainly be- tray him. But at dark of that day he had not been found, nor had any thing tangible been heard of him.
 When at last the two Americans whom we have seen at the Paseo were able to disentanglc themselves from the crowd, they began to make their way down to the quay. Their progress was slow. Squads of soldiers patrolled every street, and they were often halted and commanded to give an ac- count of themselves. On these occa- sions Louis Hunter would stand care lessly by with his hands in his pockets, while the sailor, who had been pre- pared by the latter events of the day to act and talk tempcrately, would pull some folded papers from his breast pocket, and declared:
 I've arc both Americans. but per-

quite loudly. The man in the sombrero turned about, cast a quick glance at his face, and then resumed his steady gaze at General Lopez. The two Span iards at his left also heard his words; and though not perfectly understand ing them, they evidently comprc- hendcd something of their meaning. Both of them scowlcd, and the nearer of :hc two stretched his neck over to- ward the two Americans, and hissed:
 ''Ah-Americano! Diabolor'
 The words were accompanied by a significant gesture, which plainly in- dicated the putting on of hand-cuffs. The sailor understood it, and his face actually turned purple with rage. He clenched his fists, and there is no tell ing what indiscretion he might have committed had not Louis Hunter inter- posed. The young man addressed the angry Spaniards in their own lan- 'guagc, with fluency that showed him

pany from the nearest battalion, and gave the order to march.
 Slowly the dense throng opened to the right and left, and the prisoner was conducted through it. Imprccations were showered upon him, and some weapons were shaken at him; but the bayonets of the guard protected him from violence. The eager crowd closed up solidly behind the soldiers and fol- lowed them, and many were borne unwillingly along by the mere presence and rush. Among these were Louis Hunter and his uncle. The episode just described had occurred SO near to them that they had seen and heard ev- erything, and now they had some diff culty to keep their feet amid the tu- mutt and rush. They were borne along by the press, and could do nothing but yield for the present. They were but little way in the rear of the company. and the tall form and bare head of the prisoner were in plain sight.
 And now occurred something, which in its successful daring has perhaps never been exceeded. the world over, in the annals of escapes. How it could have happened, how it was done, seemed little short of mystery; and there arc elderly men in Havana to-day who will tell you with bated breath of the daring escape of "El Americana Filibustero," on the day that Lopez was garroted, and express their opinion that he was in league with the devil! The advance platoon had cleared tho square and proceeded some distance along one of the principal streets that entered it. The Captain, marching just before tho prisoner and his guard. had reached one of those narrow. alley-like streets SO common in Havana, which branch of from the principal thoroughfares An exclamation and a scuffle behind him caused him quickly to turn. Before be could comprehend what had happened, he was felled l senseless by blow from the butt of a musket. A man darted from the street

 "Perhaps not" said the other, quiet ly. not in the least moved by his uncle's retort. "But l haven't any sympathy to throw away on a lot of unwary adventurers who go on a des- perate expedition with their lives in their hands. The affair has turned out just as expected it would, and I say they are being served exactly right"
 The sailors wrath was rising higher and higher.
 Well, by -, Louis Hunter, I'm glad now that you're only my nephew by adoption! My sisters own boy, who died before she took you, had some of the same blood that stirs in my old veins; Ae wouldn't talk or think as you do, if he stood here by my side and saw what's going on up there"
 The young man seemed not in the least put out by the reproof. In fact, he gave an irritating little laugh. which pleasure.
 "1 ou'Ve got about as much blood as a cod-fish," the sailor growled.
 "Well, much or little, don't mean to get any of it let out by these hot tempered Spaniards. Now, uncle, please stop talking. You've spoken so loud already that you've attracted the attention of some of them; and if you don't stop I'll go back to the ship alone and leave you to get into one of their dungeons by yourself"
 ''Go, if you want to. I'll speak my mind, anyway. I always did hate a Spaniard, and hate 'em to-day worse than evcr."
 He probably did not intend to utter this as defiance to the imposing array of armed power that was right there before him; but he had become excited by his own language and Louis indif- ference, and his last words were spoken

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINET1ETH year of its ex-
istence, and is not only the Oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast of the times
in all that pertains to a NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with a
perfect mirror of passing events.
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan-
tage of and used for the benefit of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, f.
financially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat
ters concerning the State and It's
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is Of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With view to the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts Of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an adyertis-
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.
