Gloves vs. Slippers.

~ A little incident has recently enlivened Parisian society. It is of no consequence to tell whether the he*, roinc was French or Spanish; will it not suffice to say that she is young and pretty? e This heroine had a husband, and this husband being of a joyous temperament, was indifferent to nothing that could amuse. It was his right • and you see how he exercised that 1 right. One day it happened that bis wife in rumaging about the chamber,, found among her effects a pair of slippers. These slippers were of white satin. ‘Good,” said she; “there is to be a ball this evening; I will wear them.” iShe took them out and tried them on. The slippers were to small, and. , her feet would not go into them, i Meanwhile the hhsband made his i appearance. | “What are these slippers?” demanded the wife, pushing her feet ■ into the wite satin. ~ husband looked down and became red. The darkless fellow! “These slippers! they belong to you,’ he replied at once. ~7"To me! Don't you see I cannot get them on? To find slipperif and not be able to wear them! What a ■disappointment! >ni Mn< , . » ’•t is because your feet have swcll- ' ed so,” continuedthe busband; “you dance so much.” The wife rejoined, the husband would not relinquish the point, and the slippers went flying out of the window. Eight days afterward the husband, looking for a pair of gloves, found some which he wanted to wear; he slipped in a finger; he slipped in two but the gloves would not go on.— Moreover, the gloves had been worn. The husband frowned. “Eh, Madame! what is this?” he demanded of his wife on presenting himself before her with the gloves on the tips of his fingers This? it’s a pair of gloves,” said she calmly. “Pardieu! I see that very plainly —but whom do they belong to?” ’- f “To you, apparently.” “Indeed! Look you! it is impossible for me to get into them, and besides, some one has worn them.” “Ah then the gloves belong to the same person who owned the slippers. You recollect the slippers the other day?” The husband flew into a passion and the wife burst into a laugh. “I have found slippers; you have found gloves; we are quits,” said she. , The husband pouted for about twenty-four hours, after which he asked for a treaty of peace. The negotiations were made, and the wife agjeed to them.. A fit-out of a cloak of Russian sables defrayed the expenses of the campaign. In accepting it the wife smiled — “See how good 1 am,” said she; “I am willing to acknowledge that these gloves, the famous gloves belong to my cousin, who lent them to me to assist me in taking revange upon you; give them to me, and, hereafter if 1 find no more slippers, you shall find no more gloves."

OCTA Young lady arrived at Galensburgh, Michigan, . last week to take the cars. While waiting she was grossly insulted. A warrent was issued for the rascal. The moment the rascal reached the hotel the citizens forcibly took him, from the hands of the officers, stripped him of his clothing, smeared him with tar from head ts foot, coated him thoroughly with feathers, and, after trotting him through the streets straddle of an oak rail,gaM the new plumed bird four minutes to rwfive. miles, which he acoompluhpd satisfactorily on the express train, wh*e s
