DEATHS FROM FERIHT.
The first King of Prussia, Frederick
I, was sleeping one day in an arm chair,
when his wife, Louisa of Mecklenburg,
who had fallen into a state of hopeless
insanity, having escaped from her
keepers, succeeded in making her way
to the private apartments, and after
wounding herself in her efforts to break
through a glass door, cast herself
upon her husband in a state of
furious delirum. The king. from whom
her malady had been carefully con
cealed, was so horrified at the sight of
this woman covered with blood, and
clad only in some linen garments, that
he imagined he saw before him the
"white ladg" whose apparition, accord
ing to an ancient tradition, invariably
announced the death of a prince of the
house of Bradenburgh. He was at that
instant seized with a violent fever, of
which he died afterwards, aged fifty
six.
The death of a Dutch painter, Penti
man, in the seventeenth century, was
occasioned by an extraordinary circum
stance. Being engaged upon a picture
,.n which were represented several
TeUe.aw and other oh*

he beholdeor a tempt for the amuse
ments and vanities of the age, he in
order tO have the benefit of studying
these objects from nature, was aoocus
tomed to repair to an anatomical cabi
net, which served him for a studio. One
sultry day, while engaged in drawing
from the melancholy reltos of mortality
by which he was surrounded, he was
overcome with drowsiness, and after
several fruitless efforts to continue work,
at length yieded to the power of sleep,
He had slept but a short time when he
was suddenly awakened by an extra
ordinary and apparently supernatural
movement and the skeletons suspend
ed from the ceiling clashing violently
together. Seized with a sudden panic,
Pentiman rushed in terror from the
room, cast himself headlong from the
staircase window and fell into the
street. On recovering his senses, he
learned that the spectacle which so ter
rifled him arose from natural causes,
having been occasioned by an earth
quake. But the shook received by his
nervous system was so great that he
never rallied, and he died a few days
after.
The French Marshal de Montreval,
"whose whole soul," according to St.
Simon, "was ambition and lucre," with
out ever having been able to distinguish
his right hand from his left, but con
oealing his universal ignorance with an
audacity which favor, fashion and birth
protected, was so superstitibus that one
day at a public dinner a saltcellar hav
ing been accidentally upset in his lap
he was seized with such a terror at this
untoward occurrence that he rose from
his seat, declaring that he was a dead
man. In fact no sooner had he got
home'when he was attacked by fever and
died in a few days afterward in the year

EU&UTIFUL POLESSES.
The Polish ladies, says a Warsaw
correspondent of the Boston Journal,
are very beautiful, perhaps the most
beautiful in the world. They retain, in
middle life, the freshness of girls, and
make me think of New England women
(owing I scarcely know to what air of
superiority and the possession of what
divining instinct peculiar in a greater or
less degree to all women), and this in
spite of the fact Ithat New England wo.
men do lose their clear complexions and
rosy cheeks, and in spite of the fact
that the Polish ladies have withal a
slightly Hibernian cast of countenance,
including noses, the most impertinent
tips of which do turn up just a little.
But they are evidently self-respecting.
keen creatures, who know what they
are about, careful to observe all
the proprieties, never flirting in public
if they do in private, and walking she
streets in a quiet, dignified manner,
as if they were disdainful, if not uncon
scious, of their charms. They are not
possessed either of dollish or masculine
faces, as the English and American
ladies often are; they are not voluptu
ous or black-browed like their sisters of
France and Spain, but a queeny sort of
women, tall and graceful, and possessed
of a colder type of beauty than blooms
on the Mediterranean-a type of beauty
that makes me think of marble statues,
Damascus blades and aurora borealis.
By the way, Bayard Taylor says he saw
more handsome faces in one hour at the
Warsaw races than he saw elsewhere
during two years in Europe, and I do
not doubt it. Moreover, I have never
been in any country where the relations
of the men and women of the upper
classes seemed so high-toned; and I am
sure that a stranger entering the best
society of Warsaw would have to ac
knowledge the most chivalrous devotion
on the part of the men and the most
gracious, yet dignified, appreciation of
[t on the part of the women, he had
ever witnessed. To acquire good man
ners and to see human intercourse at its
best, I should rather go to Warsaw than
to London, Washington, or Paris.
THE QUEEN'S LEVEE.
The dress at Queen Victoria's levees
is, for ordinary civilians, a black velvet
or a dark colored cloth coat of any
color excepting blue (which is appropri
ated by diplomatists, ministers and
members of the household), made as a
dress coat, but single-breasted, and with
a straight collar and pocket flaps-these,
the collar and cuffs may be embroidered.
For drawing rooms, State concerts or
balls, breeches with silk stockings and
shoes with buckles must be worn; for
levees, trousers of cloth, or of vel
vet if the coat is of velvet, with a
narrow gold strip down the side,
rare admissible. White necktie,
sword and cooked hat are de
rigueur. The old court dress may
also be worn-a cloth dress coat with
richly out steel buttons in front, cuts
and pocket flaps, embroidered silk or
satin waistcoat, lace ruffles and jabot,
white stock, knee breeches, silk stock
ings, buckled shoes, a big wig at the
back of the head, etc. Officers wear the
full dress uniform of their rank. Cler
gymen wear the academic robes,
Queen's counsel their silk gowns, judges
tneir full robes; of course, when the
latter are invited to balls or concerts,
the robes are dispensed with, and they
appear as civilians; foreigners wishing
to be presented are presented by their
respective embassies.
THE BIEGGIARS OF ROME.
Travelers will be glad to hear that the
beggars of Rome, who formerly appeal
ed to their sympathies at every street
corner, will torment them no more, as
they have all been gathered into an
asylum provided for them by the city.
Passers-by will no longer be distressed
by these outstretched hands and appeal
ing voices, or be divided between the
fear of refusing to give to real distress
or of aiding assumed poverty. All the
professional beggars have been taken to
their new home in the former convent of
Sette Sale, but they have shown them
selves so averse to accepting these kind
offices of the city, that it is evident
that, after all, they had rather a merry
life of it. The rules of the establish
ment are especially repugnant to these
sons of liberty. They receive soup and
bread during the week and meat on
Sunday, but the deprivation from wine
reduced them to such desperation that
they pleaded earnestly to have it given
to them at least once a week, and it will
be given to theip. As soon as they enter
the establishment they are shaved,
cleansed, and legs, arms and eyes are
straightened up, producing a wonderful
transformation in their appearance.
The oldest human being in the world
is Senora Peras Glen, a Mexican wo
man, who lives in San Gabriel Mission,
California. She is one hundred and
forty years old. Her age is declared to
be a matter of undisputed record.

[in. Y. Tilbune.]
The Mormon theology, as expounded
by Joseph Smith and predicted by
Brigham Young, is a fantastic com
pound of doctrines and practices bor
rowed from almost every form of reli
gion the world has known. Mr; J. H.
Beadle, long a resident of Utah, in a
book on the Mormons, published some
years ago, as : "They are' Christians
in their belief in the New Testament
and the mission of Christ; Jews il their
temporal theocracy tithing and belief
in prophecy; Mohammedan in regard to
the relation of the sexes, and Voudoos
or Fetichists in their witchcraft, good
and evil spirits. faith doctoring and su
perstition. From the Buddhists they
have stolen their doctrines of apotheosis
and development of gods; from the
Greek mythology, their ldtes of
the immortals and spirits. They
have blended the ideas of
many nations of polytheists, and
made the whole consistent by outdoing
the materialists." The active conflict
going on between the various Christian
Isets at the time Joseph Smith, pro
claimed a new revelation, seems to have
led to his borrowing a variety of contro
verted doctrines from sources imme
diately at hand. Thus the Mormon
theology takes from the Methodists
their "witness of the spirit," from the
Disciples their "first principles," from
the Presbyterians their "universal suf
frage," from the Second Adventists
their belief in the speedy coming of
Christ's kingdom, and from the Catho
lies their doctrine of an infallible head
of the church. In their faith that only
a small portion of mankind will fail of
ultimate salvation the Mormons are al
I most Universalists, and in their idea of
the nature of Christ they might be called
Unitarians. Their notion that unseen
powers produce physical manifestations
on earth brings them in accord with
modern spiritudlists, and their belief in
evil spirits allies them with the ancient
Manicheeans.

WATER-DRINKING IN ENGLAND.
A correspondent writes: "It is quite
conceivable that a new supply of water
for London will be forthcoming some
day, and then a small fraction of a New
River shore would no longer be equiva
lent to a comfortable little fortune. It is
wonderful, indeed, in this age of progress
that a purer source for water than any
we have yet been favored with for con
sumption in London has not been made
available. The native element has
fallen more and more out of use. Who
drinks water nowadays? We once
gave a valuable ice pitcher to a
friend, and were rather disappointed
never to see it on his table. At
last we asked him what had become of
it. '0,' said he, 'it is locked up some
where.' 'Why don't you use it?' 'Use
it i-what for ? My dear fellow, did you
ever see anybody drink a glass of water
in England?' It suddenly occurred to
us that we never had-except women
and children, and they will drink any
thing that comes first. Go where you
will now, you will seldom be offered a
glass of water. And even the old-.fash
ioned aerated waters, the manufacture
of which seemed at one time to be a
lasting source of wealth, must have suf
fered not a little by the popularity of
the new contrivances for 'laying the
dust' in the throats of thirsty souls.
The owners of some of these new
springs must be making large fortunes,
and perhaps they think their children
will have an equally good thing of it.
But the dear public is a fickle creature.
Presently another wonderful 'spring'
will be discovered and we shall all run
to it."
THE CHAMPION MINT JULEP.
Probably the most colossal mint julep
on record was that prepared at the
Spottswood House, in Richmond, on the
occasion of the visit there of Gov. Hoff
man, of New York, and a party, eight
years ago. According to sacred South
ern usage, the architect of this long
and lavish drink made whisky and not
brandy its chief ingredient, a por
tion of the mint being steeped
therein over night. At early morning
this central liquor was duly reinforced,
a wilderness of the deeply darkly,
beautifully green mint peculiar to the
favored South was heaped into the bowl,
with due garnishing of oranges, lemons,
pineapples and strawberries, and on a
pyramid of ice in the centre was cast,
as if by accident-but art knows no ac.
cidents in these its highest manifesta.
tions-a bunch of grapes such as the
spleanof Esheol bore away. Around the
harmonious whole were grouped forty.
six straws-we are but stating historical
facts-and at early morning this gigan
tic julep was sent upstairs and forty-six
prisoned creatures took the straws and
lapped Elysium.
" WHAT A NUISANCE."
The following story is told about Aris
tarchi Bey, the Turkish Ambassador in
Berlin, who married the daughter of a
Prussian general: " The general was
not blessed with much wealth, but
with many marriageable daughters.
One day the Turkish Ambassador called
upon him and asked if he might hope
to become the general's son-in-law.
'With pleasure.' replied Gen. Bonin, de
lighted. 'How many do you want?'
Aristarchi, seeing that the general took
him for a Mussglman replied with
some trepidation that he was a Chris.
tlan, and wanted only one. 'What a
nuisance!' grumbled the general. 'Well,
take whichever you like I'

Havlng made use of the Asbestos Paint man
factured by H. W. Johns. of New York, and f
warded to me by C. A. Parker. Eaq.10 Un
street, New Orleans. to be tested, I take pl
ure in saying I have found them to be in eve
respect as represented. I can confident
recommnnd them to builders owners of re
estate and ship captains as being much su
rior, in my opinon, to any mixed Paints in
or any other country, and in fact, beyond Oo
parison with any (lead) in this market.
