A Positive Hint.

A man can bemore politely insulted in
Paris than in any city in the world. A
gentleman who undertook to speak in
public there expressed himself in such a
low tone of voice that the audience were
unable to hear him. He was lecturing
upon geographical subject, and copies
of map about three feet square had
been generally distributed.
Presently one of the audience rolled
up his map in the form of very long
attenuated lamplighter, inserted the
small end in his ear and turned the other
end toward the speaker. It was rather
ludicrous performance, but not laugh
was heard among the polite assemblage.
In two minutes, however, every map in
the audience was turned into an ear
trumpet, and the speaker saw himself
confronted with a sort of mammoth
porcupine, whose nearest quilts almost
touched him. He at once spoke louder.

Voyage of the Steamer Island Comes to a
Sudden Termination.

NEW YORK, December 23.-The Thing
valia line steamship Island. which sailed
from New York, December 9th, for Stettin
with 240 passengers on board, is ashore at
Michigan, a little island few miles from

was going at full speed, and the night was
calm with but little sea on. The vessel
struck few minutes after IL At day
break 1t was seen the ship lay in quite
dangerous position in the event of a bad
storm, and IL was decided to land the pas

The Figure "a" in Greyy,s Life.

The figure ~" was curiously associ-
ated with the life Of the late French
president. M. Grevy died after four
days illness. four years after his re-
moval from the presidency, at the age of
eighty-four. He lived under four SOW
ereigns in the earlier part of his life.
Then came the revolution of 1846, and
four governments then succeeded each
other before he was elected president.
Lastly, he died under the fourth presi-
dent of the present republic. M. Greyy,
when in practice at the bar, received
the largest fee ever paid counsel during
this century. He held the lucky brief
for his friend, M. Dreyfus, in the great
guano lawsuit, and was paid altogether
100000. Not even the aggregate fees
paid Sir John Duke Coleridge (now Lord
Coleridge) in the Tichborne trial ap-
preached this splendid fee.--London Tit

William the Conqueror Liked Oysters

Wnham the ConQueror Liked Oysters.
In Denmark and the northern parts of
our island kitchen middens of the Stone
age yield oyster shells, and Professor
Forbes affected to pity ''the enthusiastic
oyster eater, who can hardly gaze upon
the abundantly entombed remains of the
apparently well fed and elegantly shaped
oysters of our Eocene formation without
chasing "a pearly tear away"
We cannot believe that oysters ever
went out of fashion with our ancestors.
"Ostre" occurs in Anglo-Saxon and
seems to be connected with "ost," a
knot, a scale. William the Conqueror
is said to have esteemed the English
oyster very highly, and it figures in the
menu Of many medieval feasts, espe-
cially in Lent. London Saturday Re-
