The gentleman wore a hacdsome stone himself, which he said was w good as he could pay for, bnt remarlnsd that ho thought tnat he knew whf re to find an A 1 brilliant in fact, the ayewunnest stone in the world. Ilauglt, I do, when I think how anxious I was to see it, and how much I felt indebted to tho yonng pentlem.in wlten he conoiited to menlion my desire for the bigj;est diamond in New Y'-vrk: to his friend. He told me that he did &ot think his friend would sell. In fact, le was protty sure ho wraldu't, bat that I might have a sight cf the8tonit Iwonltl biakfasc with bim at Delmotiieo'-a at 1!! o'clock the next day. "Thia looked all right, and the next morning I was punctual to my appointment, was introduced to my friend's C-iend-aldo an elegant getitleman and Bat down to the very best breakfast J had. ever seen. X didn't, however; oat much mora than a 3-yeai-oId h'ar, my mind was so took up with the diamond. Kothin' that I had ever seen in the sparkling way was a circumstance to it Xjoitg before we got to the coffee and cigars I made a resolution to have that diamond. Bat when I led up to the subject the owner said that no money would induce him to part with a gem which
4-had been given to him by his deceased
mother on ner aoainDea, xieic mnaer streaked at this, and wondered why boys who never care what theii.' parents say when livin' should pay so much atten tion to their wishes when dead. However, the party broke up, and I invited my new friends to dine with ma on the morrow. Bnt I had diamond on the brain, could neither sleep nor drink, and actunJlylostabigpila ol dollars at poker through trying for a straight flush in . . j. ; i" T
ioaisonas. -a our meeuug J- uuticed that the proprietor of the diamond lookrd tiscraraged about somethin', and I toki him what a bad time I had had atpokor. Ah f said he, 'I aai the most unlucky man in the world rout night J lost $10,000 at faro, iopjierine; the jack. He won nineteen times running, and left me dead broke with nary led cent in my pocket.' "Now, thought I, is my opportunity; f-o, after sympathisui with him, I raised non the diamond subject agin. He did not like the idee at all at first, and kicked and cavorfod like a vicious muv tang, bat at last, refiect ji' that his debts of lienor smt be met, he caved in and parted with the diamond, after kisain' it agin and agin, with teal's in his eyeB, for $10,000 cash, on my promiffiiig that, if ever I should want to part with the stone, I would give him the option of repurchasing it at the same price, adding 7 per eent. interest for the time I bad laid out my money. I must own that Ifblt pretty hanky over my bargain, and, promising myself great pleas-are in New York and Europe out of my log diamond, get pretty high and PKOjposud a game of eucher to my companions, just to while away the time. I have played all sorts of games in my time in all sorts of company, but that game "of eucher watt a caution; It seemed. Btjururo ' enough even to me, but the eards certainly ran agin me ia the queerest way. So, after losing quite . pile, I thought it time to grre over and went to bed, tiiinkin' that, after all, my diamond was some consolation. But when, next mensinc-, my friends (lid not drop in to breakimt, as they promised, I began to feel myself -weakeain' on the business altogether, and made tracks for a great lapidary down town. After examinin' the gem he told me coolly that it was about tbe best bogus diamond he hod ever seen, bnt that a gbam it was and no mistake. Ton, sir, may imagine my fcehVs, not so much at losing $10,000 on the diamond, and a heap at play, ns at tbe thought that J, Cool Nat, of San Jnaqnin, had been gobbled by a conjIi of New York dead beats. I guess my language was pretty heavy when, jnst oa I had cussed all the wool off my n3 A orcreoat, an idee knucked up agin my brain and e truck in at onee. Z inquired where the greatest jeweler and diamond merchant in the city kept, and after showinjr him my bogus gem, and swearing him to secrecy, asked if lie could find me a tea) diamond like it . " Ho told me he would do his level best to match it, and did so within three hoars, charging ma 112,000 for the stone. I therhad it set in the ring in thaplaoe of my bogus one, and, putting Oof. Bgae in my pocket, walked into IV bar cf my hotel. As I had judged, there were more than two in the little speculation 1 had suffered from. My friend and his friend had cleared out, but I smelt powder when I heard the talk ran npon the number of oham diamonds wrrn. . Ye;; sir,' said one young Wood, dressed up like a barber's block! 'I guess them verj- Lig stones is mostly bogas,'eastii!g at the same time a snaky took at riog. " I went on tfdting my bitters tmite silent and seemftrl kinder wrapt np in myrinj But they wouldn't let me a'one, and prew ntly goB up abet among them selves aboqt their rings, and pitched npon -me as umpire, for said one of 'em, 'Guess that" strange gentleiBn as wears the Kohinoor onght to nciJerjtHncl the subject "1 own I felt very much like drawing my six-shootar and clearing out the crowd, but I kept my temper and said: Gentlemen, I don't undrst&nd small potatoes. Them little bits o' things may or not tie genuine ; but if yon want to brag diamonds I gness I'll take the pool.' At this they kinder snirgered and asked to look at my ring." 1 let them look ta long as they liked, but kept tho ring on my finger. At last one of them sidd: ' That stone must have come prettv high. I judge,' Yes. air,' sail; 'jafi.OQO cash.' At these words they sniggered again. Hq I, puttin' on that X wac. rJed, rouuded on 'em sharp ; 'I don't kjww, gentleuen, what yon sea to ktngh at.' Then the grace'uloat and poUfc?st enss in the party says: I fear it is no laughin matter for yon, air. Xgueta you air a stranger, and auspeit some rascals in the city hero have straek yon with an imitation stone At this I pretended to rile right np, and swrwo tliat X bought the ring of a perfect gRtle men, and hftil no end of trouble to buy it ai all. The polite mai stifiened up htabnek at that, made some remarks on gentility in general and wound np by oifering to bet $1,000 tha t my diamoihl waa bogus, to pet up tho money right away and leave the matter to be decided by any jeweler named by the proprietor of the hotsl. ' " Then 1 felt that I had struck a lode, and, turning round sharply, say. 'Lookee here, sir! bets of athonsanc dollars is Rood enough for a small game ( at wfct i uy word is questioned and my jtropeityis ran down, I put down my whole pJe. and I will bftok my diamor d with my bottom dollar.' They kept their fa es very well, but I could see their ey glisten, and knew that I and ''em nale Onrfadd 'he couldn't pat up thacli iust thenbut he eonld find eitrbt
l;tfcHisw 1 in liill an hour, and would fjLtM .1.. Tkn
another struck in, an thought, as 'I didn't look satisfied with such a little
bet, he would liack his friend s opinion, and, as I still kept on sayin' I was not soin' to show my diamond except for a bet of twenty thousond dollars, they scraped up eighteen iihousand dollars among them, I coven! t he money and handed it over, with the ring and a written memorandum, to the proprietor. A lapidary wan named, called in, and decided at once that vie d;:miond was genuine, Qu.te a considerable soane took place, and the swindlers insisted on cailtn auother witness, and I newly busted myself with lar:ghin' when they named the very man I bought the stono of. When he saw tho stone, his faco was a study ; bul; ho never let on thnfe ho had seen it before, and said only that it was perhaps 'the finesit diamond he had ever seen in a ring,' bowed to the company and walked off. To do my rascals justice, they showed grit, drank th.j champagne I treated them to, and walked off coolly enough. But the best part of the joke is to cc me. "The story of the big bet somehow got around, and all sorts of versions got into the papers. I was interviewed pretty heavily by reporters, and Col, Nathaniel J. Cooling, of San Joaquin, was credited with owning the biggest diamond ring in New York, when who should walk into the hotel but my original friend and his friend. The cnes believed that bysorae tjilieard of chanca thev had purchased a real instead of a bogus diamond, and they were, no da.ibt, raging in their innards to think that they hadn't sold rae in the first instance, and had put th ft gang in the hole for $18,000. But the stone was now celebrated, nnd they, began to try to wcrk on mo to let 'era have it back for $1'J,000, as 1 bad mado such a good speculation in bets. ?he origina. proprietor said ha was in toads flgin, and couldn't sleep for thin kin' of his mother's ring. Of course lie wanted it back to Bell at a big profit and roeoupthegtagabit, Xdaclinedto sell, and kept him off and on till I wns ready to stiirt, and told him I must wear the ring till I was aboardshjp, when, if he would pay down the money in gold, ho could
nave nis ring agui, ion guess wnat l )
an? o? way uio uay oeiore we sailed I had the real diamond set in the ring you see on my hand, and' Col. Bogus put back into the old setting. My friends came on board, paid the money in gold, stranger nary shinplaster examined the ritii; and the same old sham diamond the; told me, and went off as happy as coyotes round a dead mule. I wonder how they like ihe deal now 1 As far as I can figure it, I make about $18,0C0 by the spe! two-thirds in diamond, and the rest in gold. Our glorious Golden State is, I guess, the place to cut your eye-teeth in, and I judge the dcadbeats of New York city will not scon forgot Nat. Cooling, of San Joaquin." Objects of fnterisst in India. Ono of tho principal objects of interest in India to tbe stranguria thetenipta of worship. You can enter and witness their worship of the various idols with t. Inch their temples ave adorned, and to w hich they are consecrated, by paying a trifle to the osher. He will tiion take jou to every point of interest, and explain to yon the meaning of what other t.tso would seem a wtuseless devotion. He will show you ujso the other temples and instruct you hi ilioir peculiarities nnd tho weird legends Concerning them. Near one of the templ es is the old ear of J uggernaut, tipon which the poor victims of long ago vised to be broken, and under whose ponderous wheels many a wretched victim has been crashed to appease tho anger of the gods. Among the other points of interest if the river Ganges, worshiped as sacred by tho natives, and c- iled by them the ijoddes3 Gavga. Pilc rimages are made no particular places on its shores, ablutions performed, the dying exposed, the lead thrown in, infants frequently sacriSeed. This river fa replete with intersst from its source to its mouth, BJstag as it does among lulls of eternal snow in the Himalaya mountains, and sweeping down a dist.vnce of 1,500 miles to theBay of Bengal, it forms tho moat oxtensivo d'iJta in the whole world, rokjng and unmaking ysfvriy thousand of acres of ground. According to an ancient legend this delta was formed by the god Siva, who, squeezing the watec through his. hair, " let it run down through his fingers, thus forming the innumerable stream; that divide the delta. This delta begins at a distance of 200 miles from the sea, forming a perfect wildiiinjss of creeks and rivers, and during the wet season U almost entirely inundated. It is navigable from Hurdwas, but above Cawnpore only for river crafts and passenger streamers, bat below AUahabad foi- large vessels. A large amount of traffic is conducted on its waters. The Island of Blephanki derives its name from the gignntio stone figure of an elephant which formerly stood upon its shores. It is situated in the liarbor of Bombay, seven miles from the city, and contains several very remarkable ancient cave temples, cat in the solid rock and adorned with numerous Hculptured figures of the Hindoo mythology. The largest of these civa temples is 133 feet long, and is supported by twenty six pillars. The island is six miles in circumference, aad always ol interest to traveli-w. Tbe Jfeceitfal Kangaroo. Lamb-like as is the face of the kangaroo, tender and soft as arc his eyes, he
ia by no means as gentle and tender at
ne iooks. Xiitce uie neainen uninese his countenance belies him, and there are low more exciting and, withal, dangerous tport than kangroo tihootiug. To the hunter seeking for some new sensation, a visit to the wilds of Australia in search of kangaroos can be recommended. It requires a fleet horse to run an oil ono down if he gets a fair chance to she 7 tail, and strong, .well trained dogs fo tackle him when brought to bay. Inshle his soft, dewy lips are strong, formidable te.h, which can bite severely. His foro-pat-'s, weak as they seem, can lilt a deg high iu the air and crush him to death ; while, when lying down, his favorite fighting attitude, he can kick with his lowerfui hind legs in a manner that rapidly clears a circle around him, and woe betidd the man or dog that cornea iu teach of taose hugh claws, which cm make a flesh wound deep enough lit m.u'm the one or kill the other. . Of conrse, we Bp. ak of tho great kangaroo, the boomer, or old man of the colonists. As a matter of fact, thoro are some thirty differint kinds of kangaroo inliubitin,'; various purts of Australia, They vary iu si;e from tho tiny luire kangaroo of South Vustralia to the several giant speoi?, some of which stand nearly tin feet li'ChLondon Ctlvbe.

THE I0BKT0WN GENJX8SIAI
Oereatonlea at the One nmndredth. Anniversary of tbe Swnreudvr or Vorktxitvn. Yobxtowm, Oct. 13. Yogtorday's prcoeedingi hi the celebntlon now in progresa may be briefly described as fellows: At 10 o'clock mtlutss were lli'ed from (Jen. H anoook'a camp, Tho steamer Lxcclnior, trith tlo Yorktown (ingressional !i:i,iraission on board, arrived, and waa received irilh aalutw Itom Gen. Hancock's camp and ths war veseola in tho harbor. Shortly after ft Uinpatch and Tallapoosa hove la eight, and ncce sainted by tlie camp and gmxaoata. Preeidont Artl itir loft tto XUatoh at 11:30 and proceeded ti lAfayotte Hall, whom he wan received by the Governor of Virginia. Tho diniagubibod guoats, inoludiug the doacendanta of Lal'nyotte and Btcnbcn, Oovtxnoa of Suites aitd CongroiaDion, began to ai-rive at Lafarct!.o Hall about 1 1 o'clock. Oon. B ancock arrivoa at noon and pnid hu respocta to the Governor of Virginia. At about 12:30 President Arthur, ncojmfttnicd by Secretaries Bunt, Jiiraea and Uncnln, was driven to the entrance of Lafayette libit, and wa rujsived by Hulor of Ueremonca Corbiii. Tlu3 President shook hands with tlie distingaUhiHl penona pre tent. The line waa then formed itnd the party marched to the g rand stand, where the coremot y of laying the corner stone ol the monument was to take place, under it auapicea of tie tUsooM fratornity. President Arthur wai loudly jheored by tho c rowd dnrina tho march to tho grand at and. When all bad token ths place assigned them the ceremonies were opened trith prayer by Rev. Robert Nelson, grandson of Gov. Hclaon, who eommanded the Virginia militia ut Yorktown. He iJui.nkedGo.3 for 100 yean of bleating vouchsafed this country, forWaahington, for our alliui and for our victory, and prayed that the people of ths land might not pride ihemselvoa too much npon their own achievements and prosperity, but that they might thijik and tiTusi the lxrL lie piayed for peace anong all nationt and for fratornal concord anting the eoctiona cf onr ctmmon country. Ho prayed for the luleraof the land, that they might be pore, end for the people that thoymi,;ht learn to love tad serve the Lord. At the conclasion of tbe player the tand layedihe "Star Spangled dinner" with artillery acoomjianitnent. Gov. Holiitiay, of Virginia, Kb en dehveret the address of welcome. The Governor has a fine presence, clear voioe and eat n sat manner, and waa frequently applauded, etpecially by the htingnuhed gfmtlemen who sat around liun. His alluHicns to the unity of setithnunt, pnrtose and dostiny of all sections of our common country were gieeted with (nthusiastsc applause. United States Senator J. V. Johnston, of Virginia, Chairman of the Congressional !oatinissiou, then made a few appropriate remiirks, in which he akutched the uiitory of the surrender, read from original documents anaoiount of the action of Concuss at tho time, bibitod tho sword voted to the messenger who bore the news of tho imrrender, an! alluded to the fact that W. W. Henry, gran-lson of Patiick Uenry, and tl e liev. Dr. Neuion, Sraudson of Gov. Nelson, weri on the stand. In conc'ngion, he said that the column, now to be xe :ted, was to commemorate not only lie vioior. r of tin colonies, but the part taken n that victory by Franc, lleeognition and icknow lodgment of aid givon iy Franoe to this sountry in tho hoar of its nesa was a Bolem i lnty left by the Continental Congress to iu mccesHorti, and now, after the lapse of 100 fears, the Congress of th rty-cight States uid 60,000,000 of people, the Congress of :ho nation which ettetcb.es from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is fulfilling that duty. Throe millions of pcop.o and thirlenn colonies acoompliHUod tbe great work, and now 0,000,000 of jtcopio and thirtyeight states are celebrating it. Participating iu tbiri celebration are the nipreacutauves of tho Finch nation, here at tlie invitation of this Government. Again l?roiioh soldiers tread American soil, and French vtassels again ride York river. The model of tho nit nnraeui to be eroctod is here before us. Thirteen female figures representing tho thirteen colonies seem to snppoit on tueir shoulders a column inscribed with the immci of thirtyeight States, and crowned frith a figure of Liberty. This embodies tho idea that from the thirteen colonics giew thirty-eight States, and sprang the truest and most thorough and genniuo liberty over enjoyed by any people. On lour sides of the base and carrying out the original doiign of the Continental Congress, are amb ems of thu alliance betweeri tlie United Stat-M and his Host Christian UajM-tv, and a snriiinct narrative of the surrender ot Karl Cornwalis ; and new, as an appropriate opening of osr celebration, the cornur-stone of the mouumen; will be laid with all the grand and solemn oere monies bottling so gie&l an occusion by tbe trder of Anjieut, Free and Accepted UasouB, ol which Washington himself was a chief membar. Ttie workmen, under tho direction of the Grand Master of Virginia, then laid the ctrnerstono according to the aucie it and honorable rito. The chair occupied by tho Grand M.octr on the occasion was one which Lord Boutotort, when loyal Governor of tho Old Lominion, prosonted to the Grand Lodge of Vinjinia, and in which George Washington sat when Grand Master of Virginia Masons.

aaun-si: "Upon this soil, 100 years agi, our forofathers brought to a succeasrnl issue tbeii heroic struggle for independence. Here and thtin was established, and, na tro tatst, made secure on this continont for ages yt to come, thtit ptiuciplo of governmout whioli is the vory fiber of our political system the sovereignty of tho people. The resentments which attended, and, for tbe time, survived too clash of arms, have long since ceased to anitoalo our hearts. It in with no foeltagu of exultation over a defeated foe that to-day we aumraon up a nmiombrance Of those vents which hare nm-to holy the ground whereon wo troad. Hurely no such unworthy sentiments could find hirbor in oat hoarta, so profoundly thrilled with tlie exprensionof sorrow and sympathy whtcu our national bereavement has eo:vnd from the people of England ami their august sovereign, but it is altogothor :3!tiig that we should gather hero to rofroeh our souls with tbe contemplation of tho unfalteiin,; patriotism, tho sturdy zeal and the sublime faith which achieved the resttlti we now commemorate; for so, if wo learn aright the lesson of the hour, snail we be incited to transmit to tho generation whbh shall follow tho precious logacy which onr f itliorj loft to us the love of liberty, protected by law. Of the liistoric scene whiuh we 'iero celebrato, no feature is more prominent and none more touching, tluu tho participation of onr gallant allies Irom across tho sea. "It was tho presence of the ijajiaut allies from across tho sea which gavo fr.h and vigotouti impulse to the hopes ol' our countrymen, whea well nigh difihearteued by a loo,; series of disasters. It was their nobleand generous aid, extended in the darkest iencd of the struggle, trhieh sped tho coming of our triumph, and nado the capitulation at Yorktown posaible a cent uay ago. To their descendants aud representative?, who are hero present as honorary (iiculs of the nation, it is my glad duty to oEi-r cordial welcome. You have a right to share with lis toe associations which olnnter about tiio day when your fathcrti fought siao by sida with our falters m tbe causa which was item crowned iri'h siicc as, and none of the memories awakned by this aimb'ersary are more gra teful to us ill than tho reflection that the national friendthijs here so closely cemeDled liavo outlasted the mutations of a changeful tentury. God trraut, my countrrmen, that they may ever remain unshaken, and that ever henceforth, with oumelves and with all nations of the earth, we nay be at peace." Max Outrey, then, in behalf of the French delegation, was introduced by Secretary Blaine, lind delivered an address. Mr. Outrey said the French Government hai felt much touched by tho friendly sentiments wii;h inspired tho 'United, Btitos with the thought of asking France to participate in the iielebration of tho Yorktown Centennial, and heartily desires to respond in s manner worthy of both republics to tbe inyilatioh sent by the President of tho United Kt.it es in behalf of tlie people of Amenoa. .Manifestations of public aympithy following die initiative taken by tho Congress of tbe United States bidding France to this national festival, have bi en looked upon ty w not only is an act of tho higr est courtesy, bnt especially is a mark of clTictioaate regard, haviuj the uoblo in of cementing yet more closely tho ties which tmite the two republics. In comoieciorutiou of this day, which represents ono of the grcnies-; events in the political existence of this country, tue French Government has sent a mission, composed of special delegates from tho different departments, and the l'rebident of tho French rcpiblic, wishing to mark his -personal spnipathy, has mint one ot his own aides-de-camp. They thus desire to show particularly their appreciation of the graceful compliment paid to our country, Each and all of us are proud of having been called to the honor of representing France on this auspicious day. The niouumont which is here to bo created will not only recall a glorious victory; it will perpetuate the recc licet ione of an over-faithful f.ltiaiicc faithful through tho trials and vieisfiluucs of an eventful century ; and, as the President of the French republic has so truly said, it will consoorato the union sprang from generous and liboral aspirations, and which lho institutions we can now toast of in common must necessarily strengthen aud develop for lho good of both countries. In coming to this Yorktown centennial we come to celebrato tho dt.y which ended that long and bitter struggle igainst a great nation, now our mutual ally and friend, who hero, tit nnder all skies where her flag has looted, hsa left ineffocoiblo marks of hor grand and civilizing spirit. We come to celebrate the glorious date when tbe heroes of independence were able to set itheir final seal to the solemn proclamation of the Fourth of July, 1876: We come nlso to salute the dawn of that era of proitpority where, led by her great men, America permitted the hitcliigoncs of her people to soar and their energy to manifest: itself, and thus tho power of the United Sta tes has strengthened and every year has adoid to tbo prestige which surjonndit her sta!ving!nd banner. Vt'him Franco brought from beyond the seas the co oncration of her army and navy to tbii valiant people eugaged iu the war for incj. prudence, whou Lafayette, Itocbambean. D :'IJrat-eo, and many other cions of our Ulius-lr.-!iH families, came hero, tli;y yielded to a generous irnpnlse, and came with disinterested courage to sustain tho on so of liberty. A blessing went with their endoavors and gave tiiicce-s to thoir arms, for whoi. 1C4 years ago, as,to-day, French aud Americans grasped each otters' Lands at Yorktown, they realized they had helped to erect the cornur-ttoiie of a groat ediace.

Truly the United States have made, esnonaily in thete latter years, gigantic strides along tho route to still greater progress, by showing the world what can bo accomplished by an energetic and intelligent nation, always as respectful of its duties !; jealous- of its rhinta, America has given a great example, and hits been the cause of rejoicing to all truo lovore ot libertyFranco is proud of having couti-ilitited to found this great ropuulio and h-'.r vinles for your pro, penty are deep and sincere, llutual friomlebip.'.is founded on many adiuitiea, fatten and aspirations, which time cennot dentro'-, and future generations, I trust, will assiiit again in this same place at a spectaclo nnprecedeuvod in the history of two great nations; lcuowing, from century to century, compact fm terut.l and huuerit-hable affection. I will not close without thanking the Fe teral Gavernmcnt, the diffurent litatoi ot tbo Union of which the delegation have bom the guesb', also the ptople of America, for the sympathy and welcome es tended to rlie representatives of France. Eaeh of us will treasure the recollection of Amoricau hoapit ility and friendly sonttnicnls which hive been manifested to us in every place and every sphere. Marquis de Itichnrnbeau mado a graceful rosu nso in Fronob. Ho said: ' Citiijens of the United States, you have ravitcr" us to colcbrote with you the great, achievement of arms, and wo have not hesitated to bra' e tho terrors ol tho ocean to say to you that wl.at our fathers did iu 1781 wo, their sons, would l o willing to d to-day, and to attest our constant friendship, and furuior show that wo cheriitu the same sontiuieutt of otr f.tthere in tltoao glorittts days we calibrate.

Baron Steuben then roapondod in (Ionian, iu an appropriate speech, which was loudly applauded. There wore vociferous ohoors for the distinguubed gucta of tbe ivition. At tho conclusion of tho ceremonies at tbe monument there was a reception by President Arthur in I.ifayctto Hall, to which lho general public was admitted.

There was about her an iudescj-ibable, attractive volupta--ousness. She hod a white skin, flowiug hair like shoots of honeysuckle, cleai" and mild-looking oye, and a mouth thai cuu only bo compared to a budding; porui gianstc. Add to these a slender waist, chain: big feet and perfect grace ; bnt as tt dancer sh e had no talent. When she was vejrj- you) g 5 he married an EnKhh otliccr, who took her to Calcutta. I'm anting tired of that place, she ran away, retu rued to England and afterwiuds to friain, tiud after many escapinle came to Pat is, guided by her &tar , tvhich told her that s)-a would make :i fortune if idle did so. She secured an engagement nt ths Po.-te Saint Martin, wl.ere she danced the caehuca. The p oile wmt to tee her, not on account ol! her ttJents, bat because of lier origiusl style of beauty. She lived in grand stylo, and, having many friends um:-ng the journalists, was often mentioned iu the daily press. She used to appear in places of public resort.in the mo-.it cocentrie toilets, which she wore Willi a style that was peculiar to herself. Sue was by no means an ordi: nary persouoge. About 1845 the writer of these lines s&w a gr eat, deal of her. She propoited to him to write her menioire, and tarnished liiui with notes for that purpose. Shti was born in 1823 at Seville, having a French army officer for her godfather acid the oity of Seville for her godmother. She related to me that ono e vening at a ball in Calcutta she refused to waits; with a gentleman who was thickly cohered over with diamonds. On the ffichviidual asking her the reason for her :ccfvtsal, she replied: 4 1 cannot dance with you because you hurt my foot thiii evening." He was her chiropodist nr corn doctor. Every one ronien.bers the abrupt manner in which she left Paris to go and turn the head of ilia King of Bavaria, to have herself created Coui.toiis Lntiatield and to overturn tho Bavarian Ministry.

Tie lost-ntaned pronounced quite a catholic, apaitoiic and romantic discourse at lho grave, I do not pretend to give the exact cause of this duel. It was iisti-orted that it origiuated in a quarrel over cards wliioh took place between ih.jarier and lteauvidlon after a supper nt the rnsta.ai.mit of the Trois Preies-Proveiiceaux, ovt-r whicli Mile.
