COSTLY RELICS.—The Paris " Presse," in remarking on the very large sums sometimes given at public salen for articles which have belonged to celebrated persons, publishes a list of prices paid in former times in similar eyes, and from which we extract the following, without, however, guaranteeing their authenticity The Ivory arm-chair presented by the city of Lenbeck to Guatavoue Vasa, was sold to 1,25 for 120,0001. to M.

U.NDING HAPPILY !—A romantic marriage has pint been celebrated at the church of Cligancourt, in I'rance. About five years ago two young persons residing at Larouchefoncauld were engaged to each other. Paul, the suitor, however, left on a tour, but promised to write very often to his Clotilde. At first letters came often, then rarely, then not at all. Clotilde was in great grief, and came to Path} to try and forget her troubles. Last week, while proceeding along the Rue des Fortes Blanches, she saw her lover arm in arm with a lady. Clotilde fell down in the street Insensible; and when conveyed home she hermetically closed her room and lighted some charcoal, intending to commit suicide. Almost immediately there was a knock at the door. It was Paul who knocked. Clotilde was still able to open the door. An explanation ensued, and Paul having satisfied his affianced that the lady whom he was escorting was but a friend of the family, arrangements were made for the marriage, which has just been celebrated. WSJAT SHALL THE KINU UP PRUSSIA RE CALLED ?—A correspowlent writing from Berlin to the Avenir National, states that a great meeting has been field in that city, in the office of the Stern Zeitung, to decide what title of distinction should be awarded to the King of Prussia on the occasion of his recent victories. The surname of "Great" was proposed, but rejected, because already applied to Frederick 11. "Magnanimous" was suggested, but objected to because it did not sufficiently designate William I. A member then requested a vote upon the words " Indomptable," " Formidable," " Invulnerable," or "Unswerving." Another proposed the expression "King Cavalier." This title received at first a good number of votes, but was abandoned on the observe, tin of a member that it had already been used by two Kings of France—Francis L of the House of Valeta, awl Charles X. of the race of Bourbon. The desire appears to have been to get a surname having the ' merit of novelty. On a division, "Indumptable " and I " Unswerving" obtained an equal number of votes. A final ballot bail now become necessary, but the writer I does not say when it will take place.  RI:
