first went to Morphy, who received me cordially, and declared his entire willingness to dictate for me the last partie, played the day before. I begged him to repeat the game on the board, as I would in this manner be better able to follow the'progressof the contest. Morphy con sented, and at- the tenth move of black (Lowenthal) I asked him to stop a moment, since it seemed to me that at this Particular point a better inove might ave been "made. Oh, you prob bly mean the move which you yourself made in one of your contests with Dufrosne answered Morphy in his simple, artless way of speaking. I was startled.

The partie mentioned had been played in Berlin in 1851, seven years before, and I had totally forgotten all its detailR. On observing this, Morphy called for a second board, and began, without the least hesitation, to repeat that game from the first to the last move without a single mistake I was speechless from surprise. Here was a man, whose attention was constantly distracted by countless demands on his memory, and yet he had perfectly retained for seven years all the details of a game insignificant in' itself, and, moreover, printed in a language entirely unknown to TJ ZR' IS Ij A.

Bazaine was arrainged October 10, 1872, before a court, charged with having surrendered Metz without having exhausted all the means of defense and with having, as head of the army before Metz, signed a capitulation in the open field, the result of which jWas to cause his troops to lay down they arms, and of not having, before treating verbally and by done everything which" he was bound to do by duty and honor.

After a trial of two months' duration, he was unanimously pronounced guilty, sentenced to be degraded and shot, "wit a with, the unanimous recommendation that the sentence 6hould not be carried into execution. His sentence whs promptly commuted by President Mac-Mahon to twenty-five years' imprisonment in the fortress, without military degradation. On August 9, 1874, Bazaine, with the aid of his wife, escaped from his fortress prison, Isle St. Marguerite. He has been reported as living in retirement in several places.

A visitor called on President Lincoln when the Union forces in Virginia were apparently doing little but firing guns, and asked him what he intended to do towards putting an end to the war.

He replied in his characteristic manner: The Crater of Topocatapetl. In a letter to the Philadelphia Record, Mr. Nathan E. Perkins describes at great length the ascent of the Mexican volcano Popocatepetl, having reached the crater after a toilsome clhrb, and descended as far as he could without a rope. From this position a good view was obtained of the crater-walls, TLe NO.

From the Countesa he will run to the gardener's daughter, from her to the waiting maid, to the duenna, to all womankind he is a professed lady-killer and woman-teaser of thirteen. There is, indeed, something graoeful and romantio in the idea of this pretty child consoling with his poetical, absurd love "the poor, neglected ill-used lady. But then he has been emuggled in by that dubious Abigail, Susanna.

The sentimental melancholy Countess amused by dressing him up in woman's clothes, and when in the midjst of the masquerade the voice of the Count is heard without, the page is huddled away into a closet, his presence is violently denied, and the Countess admits her adored thottgk fiekle lord with a curious, conscious, half-gullty embarrassment. We feel vaguely that Shakes-pere would never have introduced his boy Ganymede or his page Cesario into that dressing-room of the Countess Almaviva.

"The crater is about one mile and has the appearance of a large funnel whose sides are but little inclined, and the bottom is not visible. There seen to be three distinct rings, which divide it into four zones, the largest being that nearest the mouth. From the summit the City of Mexico, although over 100 miles away, was plainly visible, and, surrounded by lakes as it is, seemed like a magnificent gem set around with pearls.

The whole great valley of Mexico can be seen at a glance. At our feet lay Ameca, over thirty mile distant, with its luxurious growth of tropical plants, orange groves and banana plantations, and on the right Pueblo and the old cities of Chilulo and Tascalla, with their 365 churches and spires. The distant mountain of Orizaba, nearly 200 miles away, the snowy peaks of Melen-cha, the White Lily and several others in the distance, stood arrayed before me. I felt fully repaid for my toil in having climbed the highest mountain in North America, whose summit is about 18,000 feet above the sea-level." Wm. A.

Anything can be done that ought to be done if we stick to it long enough, and comply with the conditions of success. Be sure you have an objeet before vou worthy of your effort, and then sit down before it and go to work with the determination to never give it up until you have become the master. If there is a business enterprise to be carried through, a church or mission to build, a debt to pay, a course of study to be completed, a reputation to be attained, anything, (especially if people say you can't do it) just stick to it in an honorable, intelligent and praiseworthy way, and you will witness the triumph of your hopes at last. Don't mark out a work ignoble and trifling, and to be worth nothing when accomplished. Don't be selfish in your efforts; show to the world that the end of your labor is not to be personal gratification; only be generous, be kind and polite, mindful of the happiness of others, persevere and you will succeed.

A good many people enter upon enterprises in a half-hearted, discouraged way and fail. Of course, they arranged for a failure at the very start. The "I can't" sort of people never amount to anything and they never will. We know men who have worked through the hardebt kind of financial problems by the force of determined will; others who have conquered bad tempers and habits by the simple power of "God helping me it shall be done," and to-day they just rule over themselves because they just would do it. Don't give up.

AU though' "the 'son of a 'prominent and wealthy officei, he enlisted as a private, in 1831, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant in Algeria in 1835 Captain after two years' service with the. foreign fclegion against the Carlists in Spain after nine years in Morocco and Algeria, Lieutenant-Colonel in 1848; Colonel of the foreign legion in 1850 and General of brigade in the Crimean war, and acted, after its capture, as Commander of Se-bastopol, and was General of Division in 1855, and participated in the capture of Kinburn.

The following is an abstract from Dio Lewis's sermon about matrimony You are perfect idiots to go on in this way.

Your bodies are the most beauti- ful of God's creation. In the continental galleries. I constantly saw groups of people gathered about the pictures of women. Jt was not passion the gazer were as likely to be women a men. It was the wondrous beauty of this wooiau's body.

Now stand with me at my office window and see a lady pass. There goes one. Now isn't she a pretty looking object? A big hump, three big lumps, a wilderness oi crimps and frills, a hauling up of dress here and there, an enormous hideous mass of false hair or bark piled on the top of her head, and on the top of that, a little nondescript thing, ornamented with bits of lace, birds' tails, while the shop windows tell us of the paddings, whalebones, and hpiings which occupy most of the space w.thin the outer rig. In the name of a'l the simple, sweet sentiments which ustcr about a home, I would ask how a man is to fall iu love with such a compound, doubled and twisted, starched, comical artificial touch-me-not curiosity This dress checks your movements. With that wasp waste, your lungs, stomach, liver and other organs squeezed dawn out of their place and into one-half their natural size, and with that long tail dragging on the ground, how can any man of sense who know that lie is made up of use, of service, of work take such a partner He must be desperate to unite himself for life with such a deformed, fettered, half-breathing ornament.

F. DAVENPORT, may2c-3mo 505 MAIN STREET Just Filling His Pipe. The brighter hours of good Bishop Corhet have been very graphically described by one who knew him well. His Lordship favorite companion was his chaplain, Dr. Lushington.

When the business of the day was over, the Bishop delighted to descend with this faithful henchman into the cellar of the episcopal palace. Corbet would then doff his hood, saying, There lies the Doctor he would then divest himself of his gown, adding, "There lies the Bishop." The glaBses were filled and the toast was drunk. Here's to thee, Lushington," "Here's to thee, Corbet." The celebrated Dean Aldrich was the slave of hirt pioe. There is a story in the biography of John rJullips, the poet, which' not only amusingly illustrates this weakness on the part of the Dean, but gives a curious 'glimpse of the free and easy way in which the dons and undergraduates of those days used to live. A senior student laid a wagor with one of his college chums that the Dean was at that moment smoking, his pipe, that instant being about 10 o'clock in the morning.

Away, therefore, he went to the deanery, where having made bis way into the Dean's study, he explained the reason of his appearance at no early an hour.
