Fnn. and Fancy-
A Good One-
A Boston lady who had a somewhat
Bacchanian spouse, resolved to frighten
him into temperance. She therefore en
gaged a watchman for a stipulated reward
to carry 'Philander' to the watchhouse,
while yet in a state of insensibility and
to frighten him a little when he reco
vered. It consequence of this arrangement he
was waked up about eleven o'clock at
night and found himself lying on a pine
bench in a strange and dim apartment.
Raising himself on his elbow he looked i
around until his eyes rested on a man ;
sitting by a stove and smoking a cigar, j

'Cut up ! how comes that ?
'Why, you died yesterday while you
were drunk, and we have brought your
body here to make a 'natomy.'
'It's a lie I ain't dead !'
No matter, we bought your carcass
any how from your wife, who had a right
to sell it, for it's all the good she could
ever make out of you. If you're not
dead, it's no fault of the doctors, and they
will cut you up dead or alive.'
'You will do it, eh?' asked the old sot.
'To be sure we will now immedia

A Tennessee editor says : 'We hear it
said that the reason the ladies wear the
necks of their dresses so very low, is to
disprove the charge that they indulge in
cotton breastwork which the young men
have been so ungallant to assert. From
our own observation we can afirm that the
charge is false.'
'Have you a fellow feelinrr in your bo

Two Irishmen were in prison one for

A lawyer, not over young nor hand- j

sir, if I were not on oath.

wishing to say something becoming the
occasion, I approached the fair young
bride in the course of the evening, and
after congratulating her on her departure
from the state of single blessedness, I
wished her a pleasant voyage down the
river of life. She said she hoped so, but
she heard there was a great deal of fever

catch it on the way down.
Old Roger was visiting a friend who
had a remarkably fine little girl, about
three years old, famous for smart sayings.
As usual, she was shown oT before our
esteemed friend. -
'What is papa ?' said the parent in order
to draw out the precocious reply.
'Papa's a humbug?' said the juvenile.
'I declare,' said old Roger, I never in
my life saw so young a child with so ma
ture a judgment.'
A letter was advertised in the post-ofii-ce

to the New York Hospital in a state of

by the combination of loveliness to which
he was exposed.
It is the height of folly for a half do

A new corset is worth between thirty
and forty cents.
"Women stockings are generally suld at
fifteen, twelve and even six cents a pair.
Those prices, thrown at random, prove
the cheapness of articles in this grotesque
Parisian bazar. But side by side with ;
the calico dress of fifteen cents is found
the silk dress worth forty dollars, laces
of two hundred dollars, and the Cashmere
shawl, representing several thousand
francs.
Step in the stall of Wuil to buy a mo

a very short time. I wish you could.
There you would see all that luxury has
given birth to ; the- most splendid clocks,
sumptuous carpets, enormous mirrors, and
the finest furniture. The major part of
the furniture coming from the sale of the
chateaux belonging to the Orleans family
was bought by Wail.
The Temple has its matadores ; Wail,
the upholster, ranking first among them;
and then Servieres the tailor. The latter
employs a hundred hands, occupies six
stands on the market, buys ten or fifteen
thousand dollars worth of cloth rrt once,
and funishes almost every one of his fellow-dealers
with ready-made clothing.
There are also Beaumont, a wholesale
dealer in useful articles to travellers,
Madame Gillet, Damar, Lebel, and Be
guin, merchants of ribbons, shawls, laces.
Sec; the latter occupying alone seventeen
stands, he is the last grand monopolizer.
Acrain, there are Desmazures, among
the merchants of family utensils; Adenet
the prominent shoemaker, Kody, dealer
in watchmakers and cabinet-makers tools,
and Madame Leteliier, an artificial flow
er dealer of whom the actresses acknow
ledge the elenance and irood taste.
THE ItOTONDE.
The Rotonde is a large oval building,
ornamented with pillars. It is a veritable
barrack, with twelve staircases, and con

mostly shoemakers, cobblers, and tailors.

rACSTIX I.
Soulouque had favored the Temple
with the entire equipment of a batallion of
his imperial guard. He was furnished
immediately with blue coats with white
plastrons, white trowsers, spatterdashes,
and shakos ornamented with feathers and
copper plates, according to the ordnance
regulating the uniform of the first impe
rial French guard.
This uniform obtained marked success
at the black court of Fau tin the First.
"Without losing time a grand review of
the troops was prepared, and several
French dignitaries, who happened to tra
vel in the country, were invited to admire
the new uniform of Soulouque's soldiers.
The review begins, the troops com
mence to manoeuvre and defile. So far
our Frenchmen were but little amused at
the aspect of these enregimented black
fellows. Suddenly a warlike music an

dressed in the French fashion. The

interrogating eyes. They chance to ob

"What then had ths Frenchmen se :n ?

It was with plates used fcr sardines

Xct willing to incur new expenses, ths

t remain under the invocation of sardins,
but his relations with the Temple were
not continued further.
THE TEMPLE SUPPLIES.
The Temple i supplied by cveryludy
and from everywhere ; by the rich and
the poor, from the sewers and the palaces,
from the mansions of bankers and tae
hospitals,by my neighbor and myself.
The overcoat I give to my servant w ill

merchant before it adorns the back of
seme rag-picker in his Sunday clothes.
The pretty shoes that fit so well the
delicate feet of the lady just passing by
will be worn by some girl of the street.
Without burning them she cannot avoid
the sad fate. Throwing them at the cor
ner cf the street will not save them, for it
is the great highway to the Temple. If
thrown in the river, they will be fisted
up again; if lost designedly in some town
two hundred miles distant, they will be
brought back, fcr the Temple has its trai
veiling agents.
A hundred sideways convey, ragged
clothes to the Temple. They are brought
by chambermaids, porters, rag-pickers,
waiters, heirs, and by the poor who pick
them up in the street and trade them
for a crust of bread or a drink of brandy.
Thieves of profession, indirectly sell
their plunder in the Temple, never dir
ectly. Police agents keep too active a
watch for that, and only green' pickpock
ets and assassins who do not know how
to manage their business get into such a
mouse-trap. ' .
Every dav carts loaded with old shoes
bought from the hospitals or La Morgue
are brought in. It is curious to witness,
in the less frequented part of theRotondo
some Rottschild Cobbler matching togeth
er thousands of old shoes. Every lonely
one is coupled to an unknown companion,
like the galley-slave to his chain-fellow.

From twelve to three o'clock in th; af-

ever, that according to the marketwomen
talk, it would require a first-rate eye to
detect any appearance of beef in their
broth.
To resume, the quantity of people liv
ing by the Temple is incalculable. A

tance of eighty miles, get their supplies
tram it.
If ever you come to Paris, rerne caber
the following piece of advice :
Do not buy new geeds in the Temjile,
and hold in suspicion what is sold as old.
Purchase, you will be right.
Do not purchase, you will not be wrong.
Whether mistrusting or not, the re
sult fcr you will be exxctly identical.
