PARIS GOSSIP. jeath of Prince Demidoff brings some re- lief the gloomy state of things ‘in which wie rt had been plu for some time. ith him let us hope that the old type of Mus “# Sovite tyrans de melodrame bas passed awe: 5 forever. Demidoff was the original of Légees, in ne Sue's novel of “ Mathilde,” and I have often heard it said that most of the events in which he bears a part throughout that novel did in reality deem ie was the very essenre ef the old Russian nobleman. The moral part of Bis nature must have been handed down, by t the smallest taint of forei; matter, one of the courtiers, half-cro: ing slave, half-sav: tyrant, whe surrounded the throne ofPeter the Great. only sentiment which was completely developed in his nature was that of the desire of vengeance, and for this one alone would he have sacrificed his fortune, his position, and his very life. Anecdotes of the merry sport he enjoyed trampling on men’s hearts. and driving to despair those dependent on his will, are numerous indeed, and most of them giving proof of the vastness of the power ~wgeonterred by wealth alone, unaccompanied by wit, intelligence or morality, over those who, possessing every other advantage, become. as «it were, very prey of such heart-crushers as Prince Demidoff. There was a ferocity of de- light in mischief about him, which manifested itself om every occasion where he found means to triumph over those whom Providence had placed within his reach, which I believe to be an exclusive Russian peculiarity, and which has always rendered him a most precious study for the novelists and romance writers of the day. ‘The story of his quarrel with the Princess Mathilde would alone serve to individualize his character. The princess is, by nature, mo: fitted for enjoyment than resistance. In other hands than those to whom the fathoming of her mind was confided in early youth, she might have become of a different character to that which she has proved herself. Bat, as it was, she was little fitted to soften the temper, or educate the mind of such a man as Prince Demidoff; and no sooner were the: married than it became —— toall that life would be unendarable. Indeed, it is reported that the princess herself declared, soon after their univn, to her affrighted relatives, that it was already evident to her that Prince Demi- doff had rendered the marriage chain so heavy, that she must look out for some one to help ber -wlte bear it! They say the search was attended with immediate and striking succeess; and, since that time, many and many are the chain- bearers whv have been called into service to lighten the burden! Soon, however, did an open rupture declare itself between the married couple ; and on the occasion of the assault and ry—a horsewhip and a flying candlestick being the pieces de conviction—a se} - tion became necessary. Here the Mephisto- philes nature of the man became visible. The settlement accorded by the marriage contract was bat small, compared with the immense ex- penditure and princely luxury to which the princess had been accustomed since her mar- riage; and the prince, refusing to increase it legally, consented nevertheless to bestow 2 handsome addition, each time it was rendered indispensable, upon the sole condition of his wife seeking him in person to receive it. Of course this condition, repudiated by the prin- cees, was considered easy of fulfiliment, and aecepted by the whole of the Bonaparte family. The princess, from that hour, was surrounded, So it appears, with spies and e aries, dis- patched by Prince Demidoff to incite her to expense and outlay of all kinds—temptations were throw in tie way, inducements held out— love, ambition and display were all enlisted in the cause, so that at the end of a eertain time the poor princess found herself over head and ears in debt, and compelled to pass through the ordeal she had so much dreaded. She went to St. Petersburg to see the prince. whe, on ber arrival, started off for some horrible old eastle of bis in Uteraine. Here he had her alone, and what passed there none can tell. Balzac gues he truth, so ple say, for he wrote a story after that pied pace strong marks of probability—the hero and heroine being recognizable at once For some time after the visit to the amiable husband the prin- cess lived the most secluded life possible on the banks of Lake Como. She stated her griev- ances to the Emperor Nicholas, who reprimand- ed Demidoff so severely that the latter left his country in high dudgeon, vowing never to re- turn. Meanwhile, the princess, on learning the impossibility of compulsion, on the part ot the Emperor, to assist in ine: her income, repaired to the Emperor himself. His majest listened to her pene Goes and sympathized wit! her woes—declare: Demidoffa bru te, and, until the day of his death, allowed from his own cat- Sette the sum of £3.000 per annum, tithont conditions, towards the increase of her income; and such is the effect of implicit confidence, that the princess required no compelling to fwifill the contract to which Prince Demidoff would, by force, have bound her—always show- ing the greatest alacrity in running to meet her benetactor whenever an opportunity occurred. A good trait of that indulging in fiendish merriment at the experse of the feelings of others, which distinguished Prince Demidoff, cccurred even so lately as a fortnight ago. Feeling himself getting worse on his arrival at Baden, where he died, he immediately sent for all the most famous physicians in the cou.try. They arrived from every town, as you may well imagine, eager to be in at the death of such a nobie head of game as Prince Demidoff. They were twelve in number. He saw them all one by one, and compelled them each and all to write their opinion of his case. No two opin- ions agreed on any one point! Then he in- sisted on a general consultation being held, at which, he being present, followed the discns- sion with the written opinions in his hand, and enjoyed to his heart's content the exquisite Pleasure of mocking the discomfiture and wounded amour propre of them all. ne ene dete Ali ippsemeeni Barve axp Groom a Cextuny Ago —To be- gin with the lady. Her locks were strained over an immense cushion that sat like an in- eabus on her head, and plastered over with @ shower of white powder. The a of this fer was some over a foot single white rosebud lay on its top like an eagle on a hay stack. Over her neck and bosom was folded a lace handkerchief fastened in front by a bosom pin rather larger than a dollar, containing your grandtather’s miniature set in virgin gold. Her airy form was braced up in a satin dress, the sleeves as tight as the natu- ral skin of the erm, with a waist formed by a bodice, worn outside, from whesce the skirt flowed off, and was distended at the top by an ~ ample hoop. Shoes of white kid, with peaked ‘woes, and heels of two or three inches elevation, inclosed her feet, and glittered with spangles, as her little pedal members peeped curiously out Now for the swain. His hair was sleeked back and plentifully befioured, while his cne projected like the handle of a t. His coat was a sky blue silk, lined with yellow; bis long vest of white satin, embroidered with gold Ince; his breeches of the same material, and tied at the knee with pink ribbons. White silk stockings, and pumps with laces and ties of the same hue completed the habilimehts of his nether linen. Lace ruffies clustered around his waist, and a portentoas frill worked in cor- respongence, and bearing the miniature of his beloved, finished his truly genteel appearance. ARrears vs Decision —The English Lords of the Bench decided at Westminster, about a month ago, that it was a principle of common w that 2 counsellor, in questioning a witness, im language of respect, such as is employed by one greene in conversation with another; that jawyer has no right to the private busivess or moral character of a wit- nese. any further than it is apparent they abso- lutely affect hie reliability, or touch the ease in hi ; and that a witness is net bound to ap- *wer questions pet to him in an insulting or bull-dogish manner. If forced to answer by the court, he will have his semedy in action for damages. VOL. XI. HORTICULTURAL OPERATIONS FOR AUGUST. Fauit Derantuent.—The month of Jaly, though-aceompanied with a few wa days in the early part, has been cooler. the average. Heavy showers have kept the ad cool and moist, and vegetation never looked better at thir season, though some things are aang ie Rot quite so forward as usual. Fruit as swelled up well, and what there is prom- im to be —_ than usual. Now is the proper time to prepare and put forcing-| in order for the aisles: Flues should be looked after, and if painting is to be done. now is the time to attend to it. This, also, is the most leisure time to look after soils. and have them colleeted together and putin order for housing before cold weather sets in. Grape vines, houses to be forced very early, should be set to work the last of this mouth, or early next. If our directions have been attended to, all that will be necessary is to keep the houses moist and moderately aired, that the vines may break strong. The free use of water isof great importance at this early Season, to counteract our dry summer heat. Vines in greenhouses will now have their crop Tipe, and will need no further care till later in the season, other than stopping laterals and seouring good, well-ripened wood Vines in cold houses will soon begin to change, when air should be more freely given. aoe all laterals in season. Shoulder up the large bunches, and keep the spurs securely tied to the trellis. Peach trees in pots, when the fruit is gather- ed, should not be watered too freely. Strawberry beds may be made the ground well, by trenching and a pre) envy coat of manure; plant in rows two and a half feet apart. Old beds should have the runners laid in or cut off, according to the mode of culture. Pear trees should still be summer pruned. Continue to take off all superfluous shoots to two or three buds, according to their strength Trees bearing large crops should be carefully thinned, if large specimens are wanted. Budding should be done this month. Insects should be looked after. The autumn caterpillar is usually troublesome this month. Flower Departwent.—As autumn ap- proacher, the labors of the gardener increase, and with it the cares which, earliern the sea- son, are less important. Now there is no time to be lost; plants of many kinds, not already well advanced, will be vf little er no use for winter decoration, but must go over to another year. There is time, however, to do a great deal. Seeds are to be sown, plants propa- gated, and specimens potted, which will keep all the spare moments well employed. The houses, too, should now he looked r, and repaired and put in good order fur the coming winter. Camellias may now be repotted if they need it. Keep them well syringed every other day. Azaleas should be attended to; if well set with flower buds they may be rather freely watered. Syringe often. Pelargoniams, headed down, should be kept rather dry till they break well, and by the latter part of the month may be repotted. Look after the cuttings Chrysanthemums should be topped for the last time now. Water liberally, and shift if the plants require it. Callas should be repotted and well watered this month. Chinese Primroses may now be propagated from cuttings. Seeds may also be planted of the single kinds Japan Lilies, done blooming, may be re- meved to the open air. Seeds of Mignonette should be sown Monthly Carnations, layered some time ago, may now be potted for winter blooming Achimenes, planted late, may have another shift into larger pots Fuchsias, intended for large specimens, may be repotted. Verbenas, for winter blooming, should be re- potted and plunged in a frame. Various Plants for winter blooming will need a shift as soon as the pots are full of roots Hollyhoek Seed may be planted now. Carnations and Pictutees should be layered immediately. Roses should be layered. s White Lilies may be taken up this month. Neapolitan Violets should be well watered in dry weather. Blue Belis, and other biennial flower seeds, may still be sown. Dablias should be well staked to payee in- jury by the wind. Prune away ull superfu- ous shoots, and water in dry weather. | Hovey’s Magazine of Horticulture. A Snort CLencywan.—A few miles below Poughkeepsie, N. Y., there now lives and has lived for several years past, a worthy clergy- man—a man, however, very short in stature. Upon a certam Sunday, about eight years ago, this clergyman was invited “4 the pastor = os church to fill his pulpit for the day. The in- vitation was accepted, and Sunday mornii saw Mr. —— in the pulpit. Now it happened that the pulpit was a very high one, and ac- cordingly very nearly bid the poor little cler- gyman from view. However, the congregation, out of respect, managed to keep their counte- nances, and with pious faces, seemed religious- ly anxious for the text. They were not o! liged to wait long, for @ nose and two little eyes sud- denly appeared over the top of the pulpit, and ina squeaking, tremulous voice, proclaimed in nasal tones the text: “Be of good cheer; it is 1, be not afraid!” A general roar of laughter followed the an- nouncement—the clergyman turned all sorts of colors. Many in the general uproar left the church, and it was a long time before the inin- ister was enabled to proceed with a sermon so abruptly broken off. 4 Afternoon came, and the little man.standin; on the footstool, had a fair view of hia audi- ence. The text was announced in due form : “A little while ye shail see me, and again a little while ye shall not see me !*’ In the course of the sermon he repeated bis text with great earnestness, and stepping back lost his elevated footing and disappeared trom his hearers. The effect may be more readily imagined than described Cost or Enucatioy at tHe Boston Purtic Scnoois.—The Boston Journal says the cost of education per scholar at the Latin school is about $54—$47.46 of whieh is for tuition alone. At the English High Sehvol the cost of tuition per scholar was $84.90, and the whole cost of education per scholar $53.19. At the Girl's and Normal Sehool the cost of tuition per acholar for the last year was $31.13, and the whole cost of education £13.55. The whole number of pupils at the three schools is 526, and the annual average cost of education per scholar $50.12.
