Not appreciated at home, he was intoxicated with the praises of Paris, and made a failure i the salons as 2 society man. Gibbon’s corpulency was even ridiculous, and he went through several courtships, but forgot that his fat kept pace with his fame. After reading several chapters of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire” to Lady Elizabeth Foster, he got on his knees to make his proposal. She refused, and Gibbons could not re- gain his feet until helped by two stout peasants. Buckle, Boyle and Spencer were never married, and the fact may have been that many of them never had time. Humboldt was a general favor- ite in society, and was courted and feted; he was witty and sharp at repartee. Though his name is asso- ciated with lonely rivers, unpeopled wastes, mountain peaks and travels he was never known as a husband. Buckle was always an invalid and de- voted to his mother. Erasmus was a very facetious man and the best critic of his age. Horace Walpole, who for sixty years satirized merry women and things, loved to write letters. In his old age he became infatuated with Miss Berry, but feared that the world he had so long ridiculed would laugh him down. Pope delighted to write letters, and would send a half dozen copies to his lady friends. Though many detested this “wasp,” he was devoted to his mother, and he was self-sacrificing. Macaulay was never married, but his noble nature shone out in his letters to his sisters. When one of them got married he said he had nothing left but his ambition. —_——_s oo —_ Cesrea Un earptiOru Cured } An old physician, retired trom pratice aving liad placed in his by an ast India missionary the formula of a hands | Bronct 5 throat andl and radical all Neryous co Debility wing in thousane | to make | Actuat | re ieve human suffering | ot charge eeipt, in | with full own to his sutier this motive anda - Twill g tetlow, desire to send free can learn the exact cost of any propesed line of advertising in American papers by addressing Geo.

The Pontes Longi Their Retreat F ny. The Prussian Minister of Education, Von Gessler, having learned that Prof. F. Knoke had lately found traces of old Roman plank roads on the moor between Mehrholz and Bragel, not far from Diepholz, in Lower Hanover, in- vited that gentleman to fully investi- gate the matter. He was able to trace the lines of two parallel plank roads right across the moor, presenting all those distinctive features which are found in Roman works of this kind. One of them shows evident signs of having been demolished by force, the boards, which were originally fastened with pegs to the bearers, having been violently torn away and buried in the bog to the right and left of the track. The other road seems to have fallen into decay, but there are signs of re- pairs executed even during the Roman period. For in places boards have been found fastened over the original planks, the fashion of both being the same. Those repairs seem to have been carried out hastily, for in one place a mallet, employed probably to drive home the pegs, was found on the track, forgotten, no doubt, by the workmen. The local archzologists feel assured that they have here the pones longi which were used A. D. 15 by the Roman commander, A. Cxcina, in his retreat from Germany to the Ems.—London Times. a —suies w.

The Armenians belong to two classes —the kalun, or ‘‘coarse,” and the inge, or ‘‘refined.” The former are mem- bers of the Gregorian, or National, Armenian Church. They are con- servative, and especially in the inte rior adhere rigidly to their ancient Oriental manners and customs, which the inge, who belong to the Roman Catholic Church and copy European manners, have in a great measure set aside. In Armenia the women are secluded to the extent of dining and sitting they are cloaked and vailed like the Turkish women. The Armenian la- dies of Constantinople are renowned for their beauty, which consists chiefly in the langour of their dark, almond- shaped eyes. Asa rule, however, the Armenian type is coarse, especially among the lower classes. In the capital and in Smyrna, where this community is numerous, the up- sses of both Gregorians and are well educated and not inferior in manners to their neighbors of other races. While re- siding in the latter city I was invited much to an Armenian fancy dress ball, where I was the only European present. Every thing was well arranged. The stewards were perfect in their duties, and the costumes were extremely rich, varied and picturesque. One pretty girl in particular—dressed in the ancient Turkish costume—made a great sensation, and was deservedly besieged by partners, for she waltzed most gracefully. Many of the ladies and gentlemen present spoke English, nearly all expressed themselves fluently in French, and I was indebted to them for a most enjoyable evening. In the privacy of their homes the Armenian women of all classes are as a rule untidy and slatternly. They are passionately fond of finery, and in the towns, having discarded their national costume, they copy the Paris- ian fashions. But their want of taste seldom fails to make itself evident in glaring and ill-assorted colors, while those who can afford it overload them- selves with jewelry. Out of doors they wear preposterously high-heeled French boots, on which they totter along the roundly-paved streets, but on returning home they exchange these for slippers run down at the heels and their toilets for petticoats and jackets, the latter of thin calico in summer and fur-lined stuff in win- ter.—Cor.
