Edwin James' writing isalways brilliant, and doue with a care on bis part that makes it easy reading for others, which is ono of the scerets of good writing. Walter Besant has a paper oa BENBY MUEGERE, « tho Prophet of Bohemia,”- e of the literary triad which was made by alfred do Mus:ct. Alfred de Vigny, and bhimself. The lasb ja gaid to have been s mers child of the people pitchfoiked into the ranks of Literature, but never representing the voice of the people. * Alfred de Musset led no bapp life, but he pursued at least & high stand- ard of art; Alfred de Vigny was & disappointed man becanse he rated his own powers too high ; poor Murger was wretched because he failed to Ece that Art must be evervthing,—that genius st love his nustrees all in all, ornot atall. He loved other things a3 well, and so in the lute the rift widened till the music was mute.” “ QUACKS OF THE EIGHTEENTH CESTURY " is a paper in tho stylo of Jeaffreson’s book sbout doctors, and tells about a feww of the men who traded upon the credulity of our forefathrrs in the days of Anne and the threo Georges, the days of Addison, Pope, and Johuson. When wo consider their numbers, their fgnoranc snd the impudenco of their pretensicne, wo find it 1m0st imyesible to understand the success they with, and the way they wero spokc 1 of aud patronized by the highest in the land, Cobblers, tinkers, foot- zien, nd tailors (como not ablo to read their own ad- Yertisements), ussumed the title of doctor, ond pretended to be able to curc every Enown disease, They advertised particnlars of their wonderful curcs,and by the use of eeraps of Lat- inor doggerel of rhymes, or by claiming to be *seveath £0m of & seventh son,” or an * unborn doctor,” secured the patronage of the lower orders, They put forward the most extraordinary assertions as inducements {or the public 10 confide in _their medical ability, Ouo s~ sered that “ hio had arrived at the knowledge of (o green and red dragon, and had discovered tho female fornsecd ;" mmorier stated that *ho had studled thirty years by candle-light for the good of his countrymen;” | whilst & third, Dy heading his Dbills ' with the word * Tetrachvmagogon,” irsured their being read by crowds of people, of whom the mr jority when sick would g0 to 1o other but this lesrned man. The poverty and ignorance of the lower classes may explain the success these quacks met with amongst them ; but what aro-we to think when wo find tliem patronized by the nobility, and even_called in to the uid of suffering royalty S—when we find them re- ceiving titles from an English sovereign and being Eonored with the thanks of the Honez of Commons 7 Ona of the most wonderful of these men was Dr. Graham : 10 1750, Dr, Graham opencd a house in the Adelphi “Terrace 15 the Temple of Health, His Tooms were £ruffed with glass globes, marble statues, medico-elec- tricapparatus, Aigures of dragons, stained glass, and cther thestrical properties, The sir was drugged With incense, and the ear was charmed with strains of mu- sic from s self-scting organ. Hero he lectured on_the beneficiz] effects of clectriclty and_magnetlsm and ex- plaized, according tohis rdrcrtisements, the whole a1t of enjoying health and vigor of body and mind; oxd of preserving and exslting personal besuty an loveliness ; or, in other words, of living with Bealth, Lozor, and happiness in this world for st least a hun- dred years.” Oneof the mesns to this end was the frequent use of mud-baths ct o guincs cach ; and on Certain occasions hie might bo seen up fo bis'chin in mud, accompanied by the Priestess of the Temple, otherwiso Vestina, the Goddegs of Health. This “Gddess” was Emma Lyons, previousls 3 domestic servant, afterwars the wife of Sir Willism Namilton 204 tho friend of Lord Nelson, Dr. Grabam removed %o Schomberg House, in Pall Mall, whote he opened tho Temple of Bealth and Hymen. Iero he had bis Celes- tial Bod, which he profesced cost £0,000. One night in this bed secured & beautiful progeny, and might bo had for £100. Fora supply of his Elixir of Life ho required £1,000 in advance, A Prussian toocller WwHo waa in Englaad at the time described this Temple, With its vari- transparent glasses, its rich vasos of perfumes, inea treatises on health, and divine balmat & guines a bottle, Magneto-electric beds were on _the Sccond oor, and might be slept in for fty pounds a night, Each bed rested on six massy transparent col- | vrans, The perfumed drapery was of purple, the cur- tains of celestial blue, Graham spared no expense to attract visitors, He | Bad two footmen in gaudy liveries_ond gold-laced hats to stand at the entranco, His Tooms at night wero Siline EAghted: Witk 5% a5d By Brople snxious fo ece this magnificent show, and to hear the lecturo of tho quack or his amsistunts, Onsof his advertisements informs us thot “ Vestina, the Toss Goddess of Health, presides at the evening lecture, Basisting at tho display of cclestial meteors, and of that eocred vital fire over which sho wutches, and whose application in the cure of disease she has the honor of Qdirecting, The descriptive eshibition of the sppara- tus in the day time s conducted by the officiating | junior priest.” This'pricst was & young medical mau, afterwards Dr. Mitford, and father of the cclebrated suthoress, | Grubam’s expenses were very large, anl when tho | public ceased to patronize Lim and his receipts fell off, | the Temple of Health was closed, and the whole of thé | 4 properties ” were g0l by auction in 1734, Grahsw | ied poor in the nefghborkc>d of Glasguw. One of the facts mentioned in the opening ! paper of the sketch of the life of TALLEYRAND i et gocs to show that some of the fashionaute vices of modern society are not mew, and are, even m the present ugliness, not 80 bad s in olden | days. The very hour of Tallesrand’s birth, ho | was removed from the arms of hisnoble mother, | aad given to 8 peasant-nurse. For eleven yasmkim never saw this estimablo parent, who ! not only did mot vieit bim, Lut did not even kuow that her son had been lamed for life by o | fall. He was made & churchman, and his eccle- | siastical preferment dates from a scandalous | epigram which he uttered in the gay boudoir of | Madame DuBarry, while 8 number of young gallants were amuging the lady by tho recital of | their amorous adventures. A'liceutious wit was | held by Louis XV.to bo the fittest subject for | church preferment. Iere is Talleyrand's por- | trait, skoteheu by a contemporary: Picture to_yourzelf nman i3 years of nge, hand- scme dgure, blue aud expresaive czes, mose slightly | retrousse, complexion deiicate aimost’ to pallor.

Among the anecdotes is one about his wifo : The lady was one 3fadame_ Grandt, whom he had first met during his_exile in Touden, and who aft wzrds opeuly lived wit Lim in Paris, Napoleon, ex- pressing himeelf somewhat scandalized at the immoral connection, commanded that he should cither marry ber or cease to live with her. Accordingly, upon the srzival of the dispensation, the marriage was cele- brated with 23 much privacy as possiblu, The lady ‘was very beautiful, but far from clever. Several sto- rics are told of her Uetige; the best known is the fol- lowing: Having read Defoc’s Robinson Crasoe,” ehg yas one day introduced ut dinuer to Sir Goorgo 3obinson; thinking him to be tho _verita tle Crusoo whoss adventures she had been reading, &ho puzzled him exceedingly with quesiions about his shipwreck and tho desert dsland, windiog up the absurd geeno by asking particularly ofter 1's man Friday! When surprise was cxpressod ot his choice of a wife, Tallerrand replicd, “ 4 clever wife often compromiees ber husband, a stupid ong only compromises berself,” But Madumé Talloyrand was not alwaya stupid.

Careaco, Dec, 28, 18 RAILROAD DISASTER. The Accident on the Louisville & Nashville Road. From the Lovisville Conricr-Tournal, Dee. 23, About 4 o'clock yesterdsy morning the Nash- ville passenger train, No. 5, whick left this city at 11:40 on Thursday night, was thrown fromthe track by s broken rail whea two miles north of Glasgow Junction, about seventy-five miles from Louisville. With thoexception of the engineer, the entire train, consisting of ona baggage-car, two conchos, and a sleeping-car, were hurled down an embankment twolvo feot high, In fall- ing down the cmbankment tho train turned over and fell upon its side, with but little damage (o the conches ; but, a3 soon as they had landed at tho bottom, the baggage-car and adjoiniug coach took fire, and wero quickly destroyed. “There were about thirty-five persons on board, and about Lalf the namber were more or less wounded. None were killed outright, but it is foarod that Mr. Poter Yox, a well-known lawyer of this city, is fatallyinjured. Of tho number wounded, only three or four were at all seriously hurt. Mr. Fox had onoof his feot xo budly crushed that amputation of the mangled mem- Der was necessary, and the_operation’ was per- formed by Dr. Wible, of this city, soon after tho sccident occurred. Ar. M. L. King, tho express mossanger, re- coived o sovers cut upon the hand, aud washurt upon the arm and back, 2nd Patrick Whito, the baggage-master, received n severe_swound upon the head, snd was seriously hurt in the back, and it is thought that two of his ribs ara frac- tured. TThe following is & list of the remainder of the wounded, most of whom received but slight cuts or bruises : George P. Benjamin, Alban, N. Y.; Lruised elightly, D, . Sherdevaut, New York City; slightly wounded. s H. Ball, New York City. It was reported yes. terday that hef collar-bone ¥as broken, but afterward found thst she wasonly badly braised, Jeff. Moore, Springfeld, Ohio ; hurt in the back— not serious, Mre, Judith Larcomb, Nashyille ; hand mashed. Talbot Embrey, Richmond, Ky.; slightly bruised, C. H. Hoteling, of the Seventh Cavalry; slightly bruised. ‘Thomas Loomis, Atlants, Ga.; elightly bruised. William Hubbard, Ambrose, Aass.; elightly bruised, ¥. L. Larue, Chicago; slightly bruised. John Gallovay, Pittsburgh ; bruiscd about the head, . B. Terry, Essex, Iil.: hurt on the shoulders, C. C. Btalcup, Mouke Spring, Tenn.; wounded in the Sohn Lamborn, Jr., Louisville; slight bruiss on tho hoad. Milton Desrman, conductor of the train; several cutz upon the head and faco. At the timo of tho accident the baggage-mas- ter, express messenger, and & brakeman wero in the baggage car together. The two former were covered up by the mail bags and baggage, which piled upon them when the car ceased rolling down the bank. The brakemen escaped uninjured. Ar. White, though badly hurt, man- aged to crawl from the wreck before the fire bo- gan to spread, but Ir, King was knockoed insen- sible by o blow upon the head, end was tightly wedged botteen tho mail-boxes and bagy. Boing thus covered_up, no one knew of his porilous position, until st Inst ho eamo to his senses and found himself ot the meroy of the flames, which Wero fast spreading around him, Mr. King, find- ing all efforts to freo himself in vain, began to cry for Liclp, and the ongineor, Learing his voice, ron to the placo and dragged him by main forco from the pile of rubbish, Conductor Dearman and John Lamborn, the ‘brakeman, wero ot the roar end of tho sleeping coach, and, a3 soon a8 tho car ceased tumbling, thoy climbed out at tho back door, and wenb im- medintely to work to got the wounded passen- gors from tho train, assisted by thoso who wero Tninjured; and as quickly as possible all Lands turnad to oxliugnish the burniug cars, nuc- ceeding in saviog the eleoping car and ono coach. ~ The bagsnge car was entirely consumed, together with ail the mail, express goods, and baggage. ‘The amount of the loss could not be estimated last night. The cxpress safe con- tained nearly £6,000 in paper currency, all of which was destroyed. Tho ssfe was brought with the charred remains of tho packages to the city yesterday afternoon, and, last night. the routd agent, Mr. J. A. Thompson, loft for Wash- inglou City to heve the burnt money redeemed. Mr. Petér Fox occupied a berth in the slecp- ing conch, and was found wedged against (ho sido of the car in such manner thet ho could not. move, andin order to relieve Lim it was neccasary o cut an _openiug in the car with an axe, Dr. Wiblo took M. Fox in charge, and yos- terday after:oon reported by telegraph to bis ives hore that ho was doing well 2ud would probably bo able to bo brought home i:-lay. Bufat o Jater hour a telegram was reccived, stoting that the sufferer was in a very critizal coudition, and calling for tho as- sistance of Dr. James Keller, who feft, in com- any with 3ir. Buford Twyman, for Glasgow Junction on t1:0 7:30 train last night. r. Fon- wsine Fox, the brother of the wounded man, who was on & visit to his father at Danville, Ky, was also summoned by telegraph to meet Dr.” Kellor hero tad nccompzny him to the sceno of tho ac- cidont. Soon after the accident oceurred all tho pas- sengers woro taken to Glasgow Junction and comforially cared for until tho arrival of the nest south-bound train, whon nenrly all of the number, including the wounded, proceeded to Nashville. All tho passengors lost their baggs e, and, in somo cases, their money. A lato despatch to 3Ir.

L'rom the Pall Mall Gazett. A Neapolitan correspondent, vriting on the Sdinst., says: * Ycsterday, atabout 11 a. m., the whole quarter of the Riviera di Chinja was thrown into violent commotion, owing to & tragical affair which took plece in the Villa Nazionale, resulting in the deaih of Miss Ada Bchiassi and of Mr. J. H. Gordon. Mr. J.H.Gor- don, formerly of the British Indian civil service, had been for somoe months living atthe ‘ Pension Anglaise,’ 114 Riviera di Chisja, kept by Mdme. Schias Among tho four deughters of Mdmo. Schiassi were Ada and Touisa (twins). Some timo ago Mr. Gordon became attached to Ada, and gmposcd to marry her, but the offer wes re- fused by the mother, as tho young lady was alrendy engaged to s naval ofllecr. Sinco thon, Mr. Gordon (who was sbout 50 sears of age, and a widower) thought fil to an- noy Miss Schiassi with Lis attontions to such an extont that the mother was obliged to requost him to chango his quarters 88 800n a5 posaiblo. This seems to have grieved Mr. Gordon very much, and tohave caused him to commit the crime of which you have heard. Yesterday ‘morning, about 10:45, the twins, Louisa and Ada Schiassi, went to tho gardens of the Villa Nazio- nalo for their ususl morning walk, whero they were met by Mr. Gordon, who accosted Louiaa, and asked ?lcr why they wished to get rid of him, and also the reason why her sister Ada re- fused to entertain his suit. On ler refusing to listen to him, ho loft her, and, approaching Ada, commenced upbraiding her, and finished by commanding her to follow him, which she naturally refused to do, upon which e, stopping back a couple of paces, pulled & Tevolver from his pocket, nud firing two shots at Ada, which cntored her back, turned the revolver upon him- self, fired two other shots, and fell a corpse. ~ The polico nuthoritics aud & groat crowd werc immediately on the spot, but all efforts wero useless, as both tho assassin and his victim were dend. At the inquest this morning, Ada was found to have been shot through the heart. In Gordon's case, death was causad by oue of the shots having complotely severed the norta. Gor- don had taken the precauticn to destroy all pa- pers which might lead to his identification, aud 1t was only througl: his bankers that the author- ities have boen able to find out anything about focount of ap extensive suit having Leer com- AN IMPERIAL WEDDING.

On theso vast sums havo beon expended, amounting in thn aggregate to not loss then half & million of dol- Jars. Yet this is but a small item in the whole bill of oxpense, which, inclading the repsir of paiaces and largesses to the Imperial Guard and Tartar banuvere, will foot up, it is said, eome teen or twenty millions. The Iady in whosa honor all this treasure is lavished is a person of some consideration. Is gho tho daughter of some neighboring potentate, snd famed & for hor beauty and her birth? Thoson of Hea acknowledges no noighboring potentate ; aud as for rank, no circumstance of birth can add dig- nity to one who is un objest of tho Lmperial choice. Dut i3 shoe beautiful? TLe Lo Tilustraled ill give you Lor portra srotcu. Ilere ar ials ** our special artist™ has Lad to draw upon,—secing no likouess of the lady has ever been altowed to reach tho public, viz: A pop- wlar rumor which describos Ler a3 tall, slender, 1 high check-boneg, a straight nose, and eyes .t sparklo as though eachihad o doublo pupil,” giving her a romackablo_aspect of vivacity and intelligence. To these fentures it is casy to add raven hair, black eyes, olive skin, sppending the well-known bridal ‘geer of a Chinese Empress, and the portrait, however questionsbloits origin, will not be far from correct. The history of the lady has a dash of romence —not, howover, in the way of courtship, for love- making and courtship aro unknown in China— but in the vicissitudes of her family, Ier grandfather, Sai-Shouga, nobleman of Mongo- Tinn extriction, was sent, twenty yonrs ago. to Jead an army against the Taiping robels, then just begininng to menace the peace of tho Em- pire. Fa:ling to shut them up in their mountain Tastnessea, lio was dograded, imprisoned, snd oll Lis property confiscated. In daily expoctation of the sentence of death, his only consolation was the companionship of a dutiful son, who resigned the oifices hc held under Government to ehare the disgrace and tho dungeon of the fallen General That filisl son is the father of tho Lady Aluta, who, for ten days past, has been Empress of China. ’ "Tho 0ld Genoral was roprieved, but his goods woro. not restored—his family mansion being now occupied by tho officers of tho Bowd of Toreign Affairs. The son, having nothing to depend on but his own talents, applied bimsell to study with redoubled ardof. in the metro- politan ' competitions_he successively achieved Digh honors, until cight yosrs ago, examined in 1ho Palace, in tho presenco of Majesty, ho won the first rank among the scholars of the Empire. That rauk is designcted by the unsuphonious term of Chmongquen—a title that carries with it mors of cclat than ali the wranglerships cver conferred by English universitios. Ho is & Tar- tar, and tho only one of his race on whom that titlo was over bestowed. Possessing o literary distinction, which is sometimes compared with the honors of royalty itself, ha is now a Duke of the Empire, and his descendanis are, in all probability, dostined to occapy tho Dragon Throne. Chincso ladios have in gencral ut little oducation, but the daughter of such & man would not be allowed to grow up in igno- rance, sud it is to her attainments in lettors, no less than ber beauty, that the Lady Aluta owes her elevetion. Threo other ladies wero married at the same time—not to differont husbands, but to the Em- peror himself. Each raceives an honorable titlo, and the solection of each was announced by special decree. ~Still, they ara only the first do- techment of & small army of nymphs, all follow- ing in the train of the Empress, subject to Lier sway, and immeasurably inforior in position. Of the Empress the moon is a favorito symbol, a8 the sun is of her Imperial consort—the one ehining pre-eminent in the midat of ten thonsand Josser lights, while the other walks in solitary splendor—symbols which are uuderstood to em- body 2 political as well a3 a social principlo. Tor some months the Empress clect, accom- panied by the ladies above mentioned, has bee: oceupying & temporary palace, where she and they have been taking lessons in their futnre duties. And about that building, in my view, centres the chief interest of this grand occasion. It was there that on the 15th inst. she received from the hands of 2 special ambassador the gol- den geal which made her Empress, in fact, as sho had before becn in name; and it was there that she saw her father for the last time, ho kneeling by the door-stop, as sho rode away in her magnificont palanquin. The complex and tedious ceremonisal of that dsy would weary your readers, as it cerlainly wearied thoso who Lind to go through with if. But thero aro & few points that are worth hoticing, Among tho peoplo it is oastomary for the bridegroom to proceed in person to the Touse of the bride, for the purposc of bringing hor home. This duty tle Emporor performe by proxy. A golden tablet, imcribed with tho decree, or dpnmnb of gnpointment, and a golden geal intended for the Empress, wore placed on o tablo surrounded by & cloud of inconse. ‘Lhe soal weighs about forty pounis avoirdupois, and if all the wives wero * scalcd,” to nse tho cou- mon phrese, a8 the i or . %315, the Em woull find 'Lis polygamy su expensive indul- Iajesty, advancing to tho table, inspecta the insignia of the dignity which he is about to wonfer an his chosen consort. He seats himeelf on a throne, and two ambassadors kneel before him, whilo a herald proclaims with a Joud voice, *Dycommand of tho Empress Dowager, and the Empress’ mother, His Majesty has boen }ilenscd 10 select for Empross the Lady Aluta, daugnter of Chungehi, a doctor of tho Imperial Academy. You high officers aro_commissioned to perform the rites of her investiture.” There- upon tho Grand Chancellor places in their hands tho badge of otlice, when they tako up tlo seal d tabet and proceed to thehouso of the Im- rial bride. The father and brothers kneeling st the gato welcome the ambessadors; and tho lady hor- scll receives on bended lmees the insignia of her new raak. She then dons her robe of State, end, sscending her vehicle, 18 Lorne away in the midst of an immense retinue of nobles and Man- darins. It was near midnight when the proces- sion entered tho * forbidden -ity,” and yur cor- respondent did not wait to sce it pass; but ho Diad an opportunity of secing the sume proces- sion going through a kind of rehearsal or diilla day or two bofore. Arrived at tho Central Palace, the Emperor, attended by the officers of his houschold, waited on s bride, and tho Imperizl peir pledgol each other in cups conneeted by o chain of old —a besutifal and significant rite, intimating that their destinies wero Lieuceforward to bo ono and inseparablo. This was after midnight, and consequently on the morning of the 16th. Tho fostivities of the ensuing days I need not deseribe—tho men and womon always in eeparato halle, und usnally at different hours, an arrange- ment which must make court life in China in- sutfersbly dull. The most important incidents aro & public homage rendered by tho Lmpress to her Imperial lord; her formal introduction to the dowsgers, 'they sitling in State, and sho kneoling thréo times and making six curtsies; public congratulations of the Princes and magnates; & visit of the Empress and concubines to tho dowagers; a visit of the Empress and_concubines to the Emperor; a feast to_tho father, and o feast to the mother of tho Empress; tho proclamation of a decrco conferring special graces on sundry classes; tho whole concluding by His Msjesty visitiag tho various temples &t which he is accustomod to pay his dovotions and announcing to Lia ances- tors tho consummation of an event which hag for its object the perpotustion of their lineage. Your rexders, if not too weary of those details, may not object to_hoar _something sbout thio bridal presents,—those, I mean, made by the. Emperor to the brido and her parents. Accord- ing tocustom, they wero sent soma time in ad- vance to the ouse of the bride, occupying five daysin_the delivery, and cach day bewg borne by between 500 snd 1,000 men. Furniture, clothing, eilks, and satins, jewels and solid treasure made up the bulk of tho prosents. Among the gits to the Empress I may men- tion 1,000 rolls of satin, and 63 horses. To her parents werc 130 ounces of gold, & golden tea- ‘caniater, 6,600 ounces of silver, 500 pieces of satin, for robes, 6 horses, &e., &c. Nor was tho grandfather forgotten, the presents for him be- Ing silver in kind, butless in quantity. Pine Lumber and Pine Lands. Tho Ligh prico of pine lands in Michigan, Ligh as compared with o few years ago, but low as compared with the prices a fow years hence, is_paralleled by other States of ihich pino is indigenous. = On_ono suthority tho advance of pine lands in Michigan during the past vear evon is 88 por cent. In Wisconsin 2ad the upper Missigsippi Valloy, the advance has not been 8o great, but correspondingly great. The szme facts hold good in regard to the lumber and timber lands of Maino. The advance thero daring tho past sear, is aseribed largely to the operations f the aguss, who havo purchasod nearly all iha tim- lzuds on tie Kenvebea slthough the Lostcu firo hag stimulated the confidonce of Inmbermen us to fnture high prices. A considerebla differ- tween tho prices of Michigan pina laads aud those of the liennsbee and Androscoggin is noticeable. From the best of the lattor the tim- ‘ber has been so much cut that they sell at tho rate of about S0reracre. Thef, s of Michi; elotbed i primeval pine, changs hnads ab those prices the preseat winter. A Maine paper tells_of a lumber township in Can- ada, on tho headwaters of tho Connecticut, which gold a yoar ago ab £11,000, which Las re- cently been sold for $49,000.

The Age of Public Men, From the Nee York Times, Mr. Greeley was much younger than manymen whose names aro aswociated with his own in American political history, or who Lave baen oa ihe stage of public lie during the whole or s portion of his carcer. Mr. Seward lived to the uge of 71, and Mr. TLurlow Weed atill lives at thoage Of 75. Mr. Webster vas 70 when Lo died, and Menr to whom Mr. ireeley was de atteched, was 75. Ol1 B2n Wade” enjoyed very fair health at tho age of 72. Ir. Czaso is 61, and Mr. Sumzer is only Mr. Grecley's 1go. Jaules Gordoa Ben- nett was 71 whon ho died, and Mertin was 80. The mewly clected Governor of New York is older than Mr. Grecley by thirtcen years. If wo look to other countries, and turn to the men who have led very active and hard-working lives, wo find the comparison equally striking, ‘Thiers is 75. Lord B-ougzham lived totho agoof 93—no doubt an exceptiourl instanca ; bui tho present Premicr of Eagland, Mr., Gladstone, is ©3, and his great oppsnont, Mr. Disrzeli, is 67, six years Mr. Greeloys senior. Palmerston lived to the age of 81, and the present Chancel- lor of the Exchequer, Robert Lowe, ia only Mr. Greeley's age, and i8 expected to do a great deal of bard night work, to eay nothing of hig inces- sant atiention to oflice ditics during tho dag. —— Attempting to Scare o ¥usbznd. From the Ulics (V. ¥.) Herald. An Adams wife, the otlsr might, thought sho would scare her husteud, o little, “just for fun.” * Sho told him she should pass the night ancy from home, and then, whon night ceme, sho Lid uuder the bed. Hor husband, in due time, came home and retired for tho night ; and then the lady remembered, too lato, theb Ler poorer helf was & bravs ran, ead that any dem- onstration on her part might resalt in_her re- ceiving tho contents of his revolver. So, after giving tho subject deliberate consideration, she concluded not “to frighten hor hus>and. Be- coming tired of her uncomfortablo ition on the floor, she 2t lengih ventured in 2 feint voice to call his name. Esplanations followed, and the lady has played the part of & burglar for the Iast time, HORSES AND CAREIAGES.
