From the Pall Mali Gazette. + ‘The directors of Spanish railways may be ex- cellent men of business, but they are certainly hot students of human nature, as is shown by the following facts: A few months ago the model Of a new railway carriage was put before them, divided into staal elegant apartments, each fur- nished with two seats and asmall table, to be re- served for the special use of couples on their wed- ding tour. Innocent of the well-known tact that newly-married couples are always nervously ‘anxious not Lo appear what they are, the delighted directors ordered some “honeymoon carriages,” and for some Ume past one of them has been at- Lached to every express tralu, with the result that not @ single couple have yet made use of the ‘special accommodation. A terrible rumor is now current Lo the effect that, unless the new vehicles do not gain favor, they will before long be set apart for the special use of ‘“defrauders wishing Wo travel alone.” a es) An Odd Character Passes Away. A Parisian. celebrity in his way—to wit, old Pere la Reclame, or “Daddy the Puffer”—has just passed away ia the hospital of Saint-Louis. Pere lu Reclame Was originally @ soldier, and served i aged Bugeaud tn Algeria, On entering the civil fe he became a vender of newspapers and pam- phlets, and distinguisued himself so much 1n his humble calling that he was employed by several managers of Uheaters to hawk bis Wares on the stage during peg of those annual en- vertalnments called Revues, which in Paris take the place of “Pantomimes.” so popular was the ancient “Puffer” that a benefit periormance was given for him on one occasion by some of the best comedians, including the elder Coquelin, Pere ja Reclame was lately employed at the Mock Bastile, but peremptorliy refused to change the modern” makeup by whict he was best known to the Parisians for the Louis XVI. costume worn by most of the persons wuo are employed in the “Sham Rue St Antoine,” near Champ-de-Mars, ‘The “Daddy,” however, had long ago the With which he used At one ume to attract was to his wares, and particularly to a now@efunct news- Paper. ‘Tue pere used to stand at thie office of the Journal tn pduestion and ive @ sumIoary Of the hews which Was about tobe published, winding up with an additional incitemont to public curr osity in the shape aly the fea that the editor ‘Was upstairs actually in the flesh, and was putting the fluishing touches to his header. “bons go away Without reading it!” Was always the final reminder of the Re who generally contrived by Unis ineans to sell off every edition of the paper. All tis, nowever, belongs to the past, aud the “Puffer” went down to bis grave racked with rheumatism from exposure Uo the weather, and internally “calcined” by long continued “goes” of Tui, brandy, and absinthe. Funny Translations. From Harper's Weekly. One account of the late German emperor’s fune- ral stated that the sermon was preached on a text taken from “the Book of Jacob”—a hitherto un- known portion of Holy Writ—the real words being “the Epistle of James” (Jakob). An English trans- lation of a German novel rendered Ich habe einen Gast bekommen (I have got a guest) by “I have become a ghost.” Another transformed “food for replies” into “the Diet of Worms.” In a French version of “Guy Mannering” the phrase “a stickit So oe mi ‘ Nor are the tities of books a less fruitful field of mistranslation than their contents.
