Boston: Closing

From the New York sun.
Alto O'Clock one morning a girl that
can safely he called the most beautiful of
all the beauties In the 400, was walking
down Fifth avenue between two young
fellows who were both very much captiv-
ated by her lovablc charms, and tn them

How stupid il is Of all the florists Ia miss

The young men delibcrated for an in
slant and then offered simultaneously To
secure a bunch of pansies and send il to
the beauty to wear before evening.
"Oh. il is very kind Of both Of you. I'm
sure" said she, 'but I've been Ia every

FRENCH ARMY DISCIPLINE.
Brutal Punishment Accorded soldiers tol
Had behavior.

vs.
Isad Behavior.
The punishments IN vogue in the French
army are OF a very severe nature, more es-
pecially when IL Is considered that the
men thus punished are not by any means
criminals, but only soldiers who have not
behaved SO well as they might. says Vanity
Fair. These are deported To AIgiers under
the name of 'Camisards." where they are
enrolled in ''compagnics de discipline"
Before embarking the man has his boots
taken from him, which are replaced 10y
sabots, and ON arriving at his destination
he receives "A uniform Of gray wool and "A
cap with a large brim. The men are
farmedo out In work, and are all the time
under the supervision Of non-commis-
stoned officers. whc treat their interiors
with the greatest brutality. IL II, how
ever, the punishmcnts Ia which the men
are subjected for the most frifiing Of
lenses which must excite Indignation.
A common punishment Is 10 keep them
night and day in a hole in the ground with
perpendicular walls, SO that escape is inn
possible. Scorching heat 10y day and cold
by night, with rations reduced TO one
quarter of their proper quantity, make
the very common punishment of the gar
goule extremely trying. The imprisoning
of men in the tombeaux, or regulation
tents. which are only fifty centimetcrs
broa I and sixty high, il no rarity, and
during their incarceration the prisoners
receive no water, nor winc nor coffee. A
little meat and some bouillon Is their
whole nourishment during the day.
But those who are punished with cells
are incoinparably worse of. They are
never allowed, under any circumstances,
10 leave the hole they are kept in either
by day or at night. They have no duties
of work 10 pass the time, and only get
some warm soup every second day, witha
yer. limited quantity of water daily. This
punishment Is made still more severe by
putting the man into irons on certain oc-
casions.
The delinquent has two iron rings
around his ankles, which are connected
with an iron bar rather more than a foot
in length, 50 that his legs form an isos-
celes triangle with il. He is forced Ia
lie down on his fac and then his arms
are chained on his back, ~whercupon he is
put into his tombeau. He can only eat his
soup like a dog, and il lie wants 10 drink
he must seize his bottle with his teeth, and
should he let his bottle fall his ration of
water is lost for that day. Any complaints
are at once stopped 10y a gag.
Only quite recently a punishment was
i'm use called the crapaudine. The pris-
oner's hands and feet were chained To-
getler, n IN this posture he was strung
up on 10 an iron bar. The camisard is
also in use. The soldier Is first put into "a
strait-jackct. his hands are tied on his
back and round his neck an iron collar is
fastened, which is attached Ia an iron bar
IN the wall. The man has 90 stand la this
position as long as eight days, unable To
lie down or to do anything for himscl {.

n Mayors nervousness Lost Him the
Honor of kn~,ghthood
One Of The "reminiscences which the
queen loves 10 recall is Of the time when
Louis Napoleon was her guest aboard the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert. The
French monarch praised the sumptuous
furnishings Of the vessel, aud confessed
that he had never felt able To afford so
great "A luxury. 'But for you, madame"
SAID he. calamity. 'you are the queen of
the seas!' This compliment tickled the
queen nightly. The title was a new one
aud u hit her fancy. Victoria is a z eat
stickler at formaiity; she will not tolerate
anything like n breach of custom,
The custom IL that whenever th.
queen visits a town she shall,
before leaving hat town. knight the
Mayor thereof. The form of clubbing a
knight is exceedingly simple. The candi.
date kneels before her majesty: she asks
his name; he gives il simply ANDREW
Jones" or whatever IL may he; the queen
touches him with a sword and says: Rise,
SIR Andrew Jones" On one occasion
the queen was about TO knight the mayor
OF one of the smaller cities she had been
visiting. The poor fellow was scared
almost out OF his with. lie was so nervous
that when the queen asked his name ne
answered; "Mr. Thomas Hopkins"
Whereupon her majesty, incensed AT the
breach OF custom and making mo allow
ancc Tor the poor mans trepidation, ex
claimed: Rise. Mr.. Thomas Hopkins,"
and throwing the sword aside, sailed IN
dignantly out of the room.

which may turn out to be yellow fever.
Tho victim was Il man who arrived here
from Santiago on October II. lie died
