Numidian slaves assist me to disrobe, and in the place of vy lied garments attire me in a piece of loose cloth, buttoned just above the hips. Thus denuded, I am mounted on a pair o wooden clogs, or pattens, about ten inches in height. I am then supported on either side, while 1 make my way over the glassy marble floor to a bathing saloon, number one. Here I am stretched upon a plank, covered by a white {eloth, and recline at an angle of forty-five. The room is then fiijled with vapor, and in about ten minutes I am perspiring rotarely through every pore I grow faint, the vapor is turned off, a few buckets of tepid water are thrown over me, 2 cup of coffee is administer- ed, and a few whiffs of achiboque, I am re- vived, and am straightway conducted iuto bathing saloon number two Here, sitting on the side of a marble reser- voir of hot water, I am drenched with back- ets of the scalding liquid. I am then laid down and scrubbed from head to foot with woollen gloves and a sort of fuller’s earth. Then drenched again. I am next submitted to the operation of peeling, a process which Temoves all accumulation of dirt and sourf upon the surface; which, in fact, seems to iake off an outer skin The peeling over, I am drenched again. The next stege is that of pumice stoning—applied to the inside of the hands, the soies or the feet, and the heels, until all the horny and hard parts are rubbed down to a delicate softness. Now comes a feason of comparative leisure aud repose While I am on wy back, the operator is cut- ting my finger and toe nails, and carefully extracting from every part of my body what- ever is extraneous, unsightly or inconvenient. I am next made to sit up, and in my sittinz posture am shaved—the hairs are carefully pulled out of my nostrils—my ears are picked— my hair iscut—my whiskers and moustache are trimmed, and my head is, at last, declared | to be finished. To these processes succesds that of shampooing; namely, moulding the flesh, cracking the joints, and loosening every integument in every socket throughout the frame. Then a lathering all over with a pe- culiar kind of agreeable emollient svap; and then, another drenching. The time is now come to be introduced into bathivg saloon number three.

Meanwhile, the Steamer, having recovered his presence of mind and composure, obtained a small boat, and with his man started in pursuit of hisab- sconded craft; but ere he was well underway, she had altered her course, and, from some cause or other, came round and set out for the point from whence she had started, thur mak- ing or describing a complete circle. The men bent lustily to their oare, but the chased steamer dodged, shied, and circulated abeut in the most erratic manner, the dog keeping up an incessant barking and howling, as though seeking in this manner to head her off and bring her to reason. Soon she shot off in an opposite direction, and now made directly | fora light-ship in the outer harbor Here tie meu on the look-out descried her position, | acd, having manned their boat, also started in i pursuit.

She was at length got into working order, and brought safely into Southampton ; dock, where she was sentenced to undergo , complete repairs after her frolic. It is said | that the crew were fully justified in leaving her as they did, she being in imminent peril of going down A Canirornsia Compromiss —The following occurred in California in its palmy days, when alcades, elected by the miners of the district, | dispensed equal and exact justice to all. 4n individual by the name of Green had borrowed some forty dollars of another of the eoubriquet of Shortes Now Shortez could not obtain the money, though Green had struck a lead, and was koown to have dust. Green was a large, powerfal wan, but no grit, and Shortez offered to fight him for the money, but Green backed water. Well, the claim was brought before the a!- calde, on a cold, rainy, disms!l evening, and as there was considerable taik about it, the boys gathered in to see the fan—rather a motley appealing crowd, with long beards and hair, patched pants, rimless hats, teless boots, &e he Hon.

Two Hungarian officers named 8. Saaley and T Shullez, Iate- ly in the service of Walker at Nicaragua, who were passengers on the boat, vclunteered as seconds. Pistols and fifteen paces were the terms proposed, but strange to suy, the segonds, the master of the boat. and all the passengerz, including many ladies, opposed the proposition, and contended that the fight should be had with swords. The Hungarians offered their sabres, and the next day, on reaching Memphis, the parties landed, and, procuring the attendance of a Dr. Hill, alsoa passenger on the boat, proceeded to some grounds adjoining the city, accompanied by many of the lady and gentlemen passengers The duel was then fought with great fierce- ness, and resulted in the defeat of Maj Reig- ler, who, by the superior skill of his atver- sary, received two terrible cuts, the one on his cheek and the other on his chin, causing him to drop onthe field Returning to the boat, the wounds of the Major wore dressed, afd a reconcilliation of the parties was affected — St. Lours Democrat, Oct. 23. — + +—___ Axgcporg or Naroteon I —Napoleon was ‘accustomed to wear a coat of mail under his clothes, and which ho rarely went without On his departure once for Belgium, he thought it best to guard against those dangers with which be was threatened—hbaving all Europe leagued againet him—by every means in his power. le accordingly sent for a clever workman, and asked if he thought himself competent to make a coat of mail of such tex- ture that no weapon whatevercould penetrate On the artificer answering in tho affirmative, Napoleon agreed to give him 18 000 francs, the sum asked. On the day fixed, the man brought his work to the palace. Napoleon quickly examined it, and ordered the work- man to put iton himself. The man obeyed Napoleon took two pistols, sayii * We shall now see whether this coat of mail isof the tex- ture you promised me ’ He fired at bis brea t, the cuiracs resisted. ‘‘ Turn around.’”? The man obeyed. The second ball struck his back, and with the same result The poor artifjcer, half dead with fright, thought these trials would be sufficient, but be was mistaken in calculation.
