On the morning fixed for the j marriage Julie put the clock forward i half an hour, and at the moment of its striking tw elve, a light chaise drove up, from which desceuded a person age in a traveling cloak, with a nose i:of the Mze and shape of a tish-knife. j H rr Nccker welcomed him, iooked first pleased, then greatly astonished, ' at the size of his uohc, paid his daugh ter s portion of 2)0,000 florins n bank bills, told him he had ni time io lose, saw him arid .lulie safely packed i up iu the carriage with two of her t't j 'male friend-, b-hehl it -t;u t ;it a ' gallop-fiir the Hotel du Vnie (where I the ceremony i-, tiist 'et lormed), and j was supremely h;iijiv.

Boar Hnntine in France. On Monday, February 17, cce of a series of boar hunts (chasse au tang lier) took place in the forest of Mar chenoir, aa extensive forest situated between the historical old towas of Biois and Orlesas, and not far from the Kiver Loire, the largest acd iougest of French river. The lorest or the greater part of it, is the prop erty oi. the Duke of Luynt-s, but the duties of master were assumed on this occasion, by ins brother-in-law, the Puke of Naoiilet.' The meet, which was at 12 o'clock, was pOirh attead ed, there not being mote than fifteen out. At 1 o'clock the hounds drew and found almost at once the where- abouts of a boar, Laving been ascer- flight, he first rid himself of two of his j assailants, ripping them up with his powerful tasks, then croincr straight awav he left the hounds ncarlv -400 yards behind. Unfortunately he was joined almost immediately by a "female boar" and the two went away very fast. The boar rashes through everything, and is stopped by nothing, while the hounds forced to plclf their way through U undergrowth; which is in places extremely thick, the field following along the vallevs with which the forest is intersected. The two boars raced neck and neck, for more than an hour and a half, being often sighted as they dashed across nn opening, but the distance between the houndsand their piarry was diminishing rapidly, and at last the male separated from the female, the bounds unfortunately fol lowing the latter. Iu spite of her condition, however, she showed a fast pair of heels, and ran gamely enough for fully an hour more, being killed at four o'clock after a very good run of three hours. The coup de grace was delivered by one of the field with a long dirk ;short carbines are carried by others, m case it is impossible to approach the uqar, who is sometimes far from beaten when he turns to baj Not many weeks ago an old boar ripped up more than twenty hounds before he was finally dispatched, and it is rare indeed when the boar tails to account for at. least duo hound in his last struggle. Fashionable Dogs. A few days ago a mau walking in one 'of the most fashionable street's of Paris, came across a lost dog. It was a small tov terrier, and was clad in an elaborate coat trimmed with costly furs. In this coatxwas a tiny pocket containing a handkerchief bordered with exquisite lace, a worked mono- ram ,ma coronet, itouna tne a'8 neck was gold and jeweled . T - , 1 bangle, and his coat was fastened by a ! brooch DJazing with rubies and dia- monds. It is quite the fashion among j the pretty and smart women of Taris j to get up their pet dogs in expensive j and elaborate costumes, to cover ! them with jewels, to engrave cards with their names, and to drench their ly so pampered. Vet there is an Italian grevhouud in town whichlooks like a pieco of Dresden china, and wears a fawn-colored coat, tailor-r-ide, ' trimmed with fur and buttoned uowu' I the back with brass buttons. Sappho, ; as she is poetically named, wear's ! Dresden and Watteau ribbons iu del i- cate hues. Such, in brief, is her rai ment that when she goes to take the air she is the envy of all the little dogs in her part of the town. New York Journal. Soapsuds on the Waves Some experiments have recently been made, says Uailroad Gazette, whieh show that soapsuds will reduce a sea almost as well as oil. This was first tried on the Scandia, an English steamer, in a storm on the .Atlantic- j Having no great quautity of oil, the 1 luaster solved a large quantity of 'soap in water, which was discharged over the bow. The effect was nearly instantaneous, the height of waves being so diminished that the vessel could be managed without difficulty, i Captain Le Gall of the French steam er Senegal, sailing the Adriatic, was strucks by a squall and used soap and water with the same result. The so lution when dripped over the bow made a quiet space about ten metre? wide preventinc the waves from ureaKicc over me vessel The Deadly Hand-Arrow.
