AN INTERESTING WRECK.
Discovery of nm Old Frignte in tho
Roadstcnd of Drest.

Discovery of an Old FriEnte in the
Roadstcnd of Drest.
The recent discovery Of the old
wreck OF frigate or war vessel at the
bottom of the roadstead of Brest has
melted research both on the part Of
scientists and historians. One of the
latter recently declared that the vessel
must have been sunk by the Spanish
guns from the Fort de Ia Pointc. This
view, however, is doubted by navy
officer, who has searched the archives
and considers it improbable that the
Spanish guns of that time should have
been able to sink n vessel on the north
side of the roadstcad, the distance be-
ing altogether too great. He thinks
that the wreck is that of n vessel from
the fleet of the duke de Vendome, who,
in 1862, after the naval battle in front
of La Rochelle, touched at Brest before
coming to the succor of Dunkerque.
Ore of the dukes frigates, the Zelee,

ment of August 0, and, on the 18th OF
August, 1862, while anchored in the
northern part of the roadstead, she
sunk during Sudden squall coming
from the southwest.
Divers have recently brought up
quite number of iron castings. cannon
balls, guns and other relics from the
wreck. The hull has been examined,
and. considering TINT it has been un,
der water PAS years, J! is in surprisingly
good condition. The wreck being sunk
in IS fathoms of water and lying on its
side ii is in no wise danger to navi-
cation, and this probably accounts for
the fact that il was not discovered until
recently, when it was 'ound accident
ally during one of the trials of sub
marine boat experimental with by the
French naval authorities Mt Brest.-St

She held out her hand frankly, with
an air of good-fellowship which argued
the lack of a tenderer sentiment.
"But the monster" she continued,

She listened attentively to my crude
response, softer light suffusing her
fine eyes. The thought struck me that
both of us, she as we'll ms |, had taken
life too lightly and needed the discipline
of reflection. To me personally things
in general had begun to assume strange
proportions; some of my mountains
dwindled to mole hills, and vice versa !;

Interest on Charity.

Baron James de Rothsch Id, being a
great lover of art, consented at one time
to pose as beggar in painting which
his friend. Eugene Delacroix, was en-
gagged on. This obliging net was at
tended by twofold results. On the APP
pointed day Baron de Rothst HID ap-
peared Mt the studio. The famous paint
or placed n tunic around the bankers
shoulders, put stout staff in his hand,
and made him pose as il he were resting
on the step Of an ancient Roman tenn
pie. In this attitude he was dscov-
cred by one of the artists pupils. who,
struck by the excellence of the model.
congratulated his master on having
found just what he needed. Naturally
concluding the model had only just
been brought in from some church
porch, the pupil seized an opportunity
to slip a piece of money into the beg
gar's hand. Baron de Rotllschld
thanked him with n look, and kept TIE
money. The pupil soon quilted the
studio. In answer to inquiries made,
Dclacroix told the baron that the young
man possessed talent, but no means.
Shortly aftcrwaid the young fellow re-
ceived letter, stating that charity bore
interest. and that the accumulated in
tcrest on the amount he had so geneI
ously given to one whom he supposed
