Costly Admiration.

A characteristic story of Gen. Lafayette was told in a Paris journal some years ago. At Lamarque’s funeral the crowd took out Gen. Lafayette’s horses, as thtafamous soldier wti returning home ftob the service, and drew his carriage

to his hotel with many evidences of enthusiastic love and admiration. The scene was a stirring one, and a friend, in referring to It some weeks afterward, said, "You must have been very much pleased." Lafayette looked at him for a moment In silence, and then, said, with a whimsical smile: “Yes, I was very much pleased, very much pleased, indeed. But I never saw anything more of my horses, my dear friend!”
