An Incident in the Early Life of' the
Franck,' Emperor.
During the winter of 1828 or -.1829,
while: on a - visit to his aunt, the Grand
Duchess Stephenie of Baden, Louis
Napoleon .was walking along the banks
of the Rhine with his two cousins, the
Princesses Josephine and Marie of 13a-
den
3aden (the Duchess of Hamilton,) accom-
panied by several persona of the grand
ducal court The conversation turned
on the Ferrel gallantry of -olden times.
The Princess Marie, in her piquant and
original style, lauded the days ofchival-
ry. She extolled .above measure the
devotion of tne gallants wtie.se. device
was dieu, mon roi, et rna-dome, "God,
my ging,-and.my lady fair," and who
faithfully carried it out through all
sorts of perils and sacrifices.' With
this picture of by gone virtues- she times in -one of the town churches. On
contrasted the vices and_the selfishness the day appointed for the celebration
of modern times. Louis Napoleon of the cel cony which was to 'make
took up the debate with the warmth
and spirit natural to his age. He
maintained in respect to courage and
gallantry, the French - had not degen-
aerated a whit i and that they still were
ready to do for their ladies whatever
their forefathers had done, adding that
-"in all times devotion had never been
wanting to -women who deserved - and
were worthy to inspire it." At that
moment they artived at the spot where
the Necker makes its junction with the
Rhine, fighting hard to force its way
.into the giant river. In wi item the
scene is most picturesque, offering the
aspect of a stormy sea, and was, in
',fact the object of the walk. As they
lingered on . the causeway -dyke which
skirts the Necker, a gust of wind car-
ried off -a Tower from the Princess
Marie's Lair, and blew into the rush-
ing water. "Look there ." said- the
thoughtless _ girl, with a 1€ugh, and
pointing to the flower hurried away by
the- currant- "That would have been
-an excellent opportunity fora cavalier
of the olden tinges." ',Aha, cousin!"
exclaimed Louis Napoleon, '"that's a
challenge. Very well' I accept it ;"
and immediately plunged, dressed as he
" was, into the rapid stream. We can
easily conceive the. flutter and fright
of gm, Gaand Duchess. the court la -
die, and all the rest. It was a _terrible
breach of etigiie rte to 'make snch a sen-
sational - scene. The Princess Marie
loudly bewa lead her folly ; the others
screamed, shouted for help, or uttered
feminine cries of despair. With some,
there was a demand for smelling -salts
and aromatic vinegar. None jumped
into the water to }lull him out. Mean-
while, the Prince swam bravely, strug-
gling with the violence of the waves,
Those who have felt the current of the
Rhine know what sort of swimming it
is. He disappeared and re -appeared,
and then c isaipeared and re -appeared,
again. Finally reaching the bank safe
and sound, lent shivering, with the
flower of mischief in his hand, "Here
it ia ; take;`it co€;sin." he said, "but for
heaven's sake," he continued laughing,
and pointing to his dripping garments,
-'never more talk to me about your ca-
valiers of the olden time."-L'ondon
Society.
ed toward the trench holding each eth-
er by `the ba .d. The oddest followed at
a short distance behind them. He was•
the stronger of the three, and with him
the murderer commenced. He flung a.
cord with a running knot round his
neck, strangled him, cut the throats . of
the two others, whom he flung at a
short distance further,`, then returning
to the eldest who had begun to exbibit
symp'ons of returiiiag sensibility, he
put an end to him by stabbing himre-
peatedly. The trial will soon come off:
Rich Scene at a Wedding --The
`Best Man" Marriesthe Bride
The Port Hope Canadian says that
a couple residing in the rural districts,
not far from town, were lately engaged

ple came to town arrayed in all the
glory of new store clothes, bringing
with them a brother of the bridegroom,
who is to officiate as "best man," and
who, the result proved, was felly entit-
led to that character. Leaving the
blushing damsel in charge of his broth-

roth-er,`the intended husband' adjourned to
a )bar -room to get "something hot" to
cheer his spirits under the trying ordeal
through which•be was to pass. Here

whclmed, partook of more than was
necessary for the purpose of elevating
liis courage to the proper point, and
soon became oblivious to all sublunary
matters, wedding party, bride, prospec-
tive domestic bliss and all. After
waiting a reasonable time for his re -ap-
pearance; his affianced and the rest of
the party grew .uneasy, and finally an
expedition was organized to 'go in
search of him. They discoverd him in
the tavern in a comatose,condition, and
reported that fact in the proper quar-
ter. . The bride bore up gravely under
this trial, declared that shedidn't care
a cent, he was a good-for-nothing.

get clear of him. Moreover, she was

the girl disappointed about a trifle line
that, the brother who came to do the
"best mans' business volunteered to be
her victim himself. The -bargain was
soon made, and off he started for a li-
cense, returning in a short time, when
they were married and started for home,
leaving the ether- individual .to ;enjoy
his little spree as best - he could. The
affair has created no little talk; and
much merriment among those acgn int -

The Pantin Murders
Trainman ie said to have made a
clean breast o thehorrors of which he
is the author. I -Ie- acknowledged that
he alone was oncerned in the murder
of the gine family. He abandons
bis statement regarding the culpabilty
of ginck,.senior, and admits that . he
murdered th latter on the 25th of
August, in a plain near Guebwiller.
He has given indications' ibgard.ng the
spot where he " had interred the body,
which will n dceibt lead` to its discov-
eery. Gustav Kinck was killed by

A Tough Story.
Unfortunately for the r eptitatio�r. of
Boston as a laiv-abiding .community, it
is no unusual occurrence to see ► upon
our streets ripen who so far forget them-
selves as to appear before their fellow
beings in a condition strongly indica-
tive of the fact that a superabundance
of "the rosy" had for the time depriv-
ed them of the power of straight -for-
ward locomotion. Such an instance was
broughtto the notice of the bystanders
in the vicinity of a well-known drink-
ing saloon, occasioned by the appear-
ance of a man considerably intoxicated,
and who at the time was accompanied
by a handsome E�.giish coach -dog.
The man pursued his devious course,
closely followed by his four -footed com-
panion, until at leuigth he approached
the door of the saloon referred to;and
was about to enter, when, to the sur-
prise of all who had witnessed • the
Oita the dog jumped up and catching
the skirts of the m n's coat ought to
prevent him from going in, The ine-
briated biped spoke in angry tones to
the beast, but without _ avail, until at
length, a more than ordinary severe
command induced hien to relinquish his.
hold, and the man hastened inside fol-
lowed by his faithful companion and
would-be protector.
Actuated simply by curiosity, we
also went:in, and as we gained 'a posi-
don near the bar, saw in close proximi-
ty thereto; the beast and his master the
latter striving to reach the bar. and thenr
foer standing on his hind" legs, with
w
his fore pas placed against the mau'a
breast, ti ainly endeavoring, even at the
eleventh hour, to prevent him from
again indulging in the intoxicating
cup. .
'ft the credit of the bar -tender, be it
stated that ltire refused to furnish the
man with any more liquor; and tears
were drawl -vet -0m eyes that had long
been unused to the melting mood, as at
each refusal the undoubtedly heart -
:stricken canine would bestow a look of
intense gratitude' upon the dispenser of
"cocktails," "slings" and "cods," and
then turning, would,"a it,h the most im-
ploring look:, mutely beseech his liquor -
