Invention you do notVneed if you have experience; for fact is' stranger than fiction. A beginning in these days? of startling abruptness is as simple as open your mouth; and when you have once begun you can end wherever you like, and leave the sequel to the reader's imagination; but the hinges of (a story the turning grace fully back from a digression (it is easy to turn into one) is the pas qui coute. My education on that point was neglected. It was, as I said before, a moonlight night, and Job and myself having, like Sir Fabian, 'no. mind to sleep,' followed the fashion and the rest of the companv at the inn, and strolled down to see the falls by moonlight. I had been there before, and I took Job straight to the spot in the bed of the river which I have described above as my favorite, and after watching it for a few minutes, we turned back to a dark cleft in the rock which afforded a rude seat, and sat musing in silence. Several parties had strolled past without seeing us in our recess, when two female-figures, witli their arms around each other's waists, sauntered slowly around the .jutting rock below, and approached us, eagerly en gaged in conversation. 1 hey came on to the very edge -of the shadow which envel oped us, and-turned to look back, at the scene. As tlie head nearest to me was rais ed to tlie light, I -started half to Tny feet; it was Edith ! In the same instant her voice of music broke on my ear, and an irresisti ble impulse to listen unobserved drew me dowil"again upon my seat, ami Job, with a sntu.lar ntstmcT, laid ins hand upon my arm. 'It was his favorite spot !' said l-dith. (We had been at Trenton together years before.)-' 'I stood liere witli him, and 1 wish he -stood here now, that I iiii ht tell him what my hand hesitates to write.' 'Poor Phillip ! said her companion, whom by tlie voice I recognised as the youngest of the Flemings, 'I cannot conceive how you can resolve so coldly to break his heart.' 1 felt a dao'irer enteriiijr my bosom, but still I. hesitated. Edith went on. . 'Why I will tell yon,-my dear little in nocent. 1 loved Phillip Slingsby when 1 thouofh-t- I was going to die. It was then a littiiiir attachment, for I never thought to neetl o! the goods'of this world, more than a sick chamber ami a nurse; and Phil was kind-hearted, and devoted tome, and 1 lived at home. But, with returned health, a thousand ambitious desires have sprung un in my heart, and 1 hnd mvselt admin by w more dear Edith!' j She turned to me as if to ask me to ex plain myself. 'Will vou listen to me while I tell vou how?' 'What can you, mean? Certainly 'Then listen, for I fear I can scarce bring myself to repeat what I am going to say. When I first learned to love you for life, you were thought to be dyi ng, and I was a boy. I did not count on the future, for I despaired of your living to share it with me, and if I had done so, I was still a child, and knew nothing of the world. I have since grown more ambitious, and, I may as well say at once, more selfish and less poet ical. You will easily divine my drift. You are poor, and I 'find myself, as you have seen to-nightj in a position which will en able me to marry more to my advantage; and, with these yiews, I am sure I should omy make yon miserable by fulfilling my contract with you, and you will agree with me that I consult our mutual happiness by this course- don't you think soV- At this instant I gave. a signal to Job, who approached and made some sensible remarks about the weather; and, after an other turn or two, I released Miss Linsey's arm, and cautioning her against the night air, left her to finish her promenade and swallow her own projected speech and mine, anil wont to bed. ; .

Laura- C Alexander. On the first night of Christmas week, when, at Yal- lack-s-Theatre, the comedy of "A Man of Honor was for the first tune represented, the character of Catharine in that piece was acted by Miss Laura Alexander. She con tinued to act the part for one week, when a sudden ami serious illness. caused her re-' tirement from the stage. On the day before yesterday she died. It is the melancholy fact that a sense of professional failure prey-1 ed upon this young lady's mind, embitter ed her last moments, and hastened her death. .She presented, in brief, .another instance of the broken'heart that sometimes follows in the tracks of disappointed ambition. She was of a generous nature and an enthusiastic mind, and she made the mournful but com mon mistak'e of" thinking that these are dramatic genius and trained mimetic skill upon the stage, and she had not patience to bear the burden of sorrow that came to her thwarted aspiration. Her :llness was more of the mind thau of the body. It was brief and she rests. The experience is one that ought to have its weight with the m.a ny crude .and wayward aspirants who be siege the g.ates of the drama. Miss Alex ander was a native of Charlotte, North Candi ua, and was only 21 years . of age.

At a later time she was a member of the tr.aveling companv of Madame Jan auschek, ami her best professional experi ence appears to have been gained - m the society oi that excellent actress. Jlore re cently Miss Alexander was a member of the company at the Boston Theatre. Hertal ents were considerable. Iler mind was well cultivated. She would have adorned domestic life in polished society. She might, under happier conditions, have risen to a fair rank unon the staire.

They carry the torch of Hymen into the Mammoth Cave, where fishes are as blind as wily Vivien made Cupid. They bribe an engineer on a moun tain road of Pennsylvania to permit them to be married on the locomotive, and plight their troth while flying through the air at the rate of thirty miles an hour. They are joined in the bonds of holy wed lock on the top of Mtfnnt Washington, with the thermometer at five degrees, and the air so sharp, that if the wedding embrace were prolonged but a moment tho metaph orical "one" would become a cold reality. In California they marry in a balloon; in Elizabethtown, N. J, they marry. amid the impressive surroundings of a cemetery; and in Newburgh, of Nv Y- state, they marry in a lunatic asylum.

A boat had been sunk in the "velvet river' off the busy town of Greenock, and Sandy Rivers, the diver, had been employed to recover some v.abiables from her cabin. Hut Sandy was at that1 time in the last st.iges of his courting, with the day already set for the wedding, and lamented sorely that it must be postponed until his urgent work was completed in fact, he "greeted Sal so sadly" that the bonnie Mag determined to help him in his job, and deified one of his diver's suits, and went down with him into the cabin of the good boat Katrine, and then Sandv, who thought he had her more to himself than he ever would again, sur prised her with a license in regular shape, ami a Bible wet from cover to cover, and played both clergyman and groom, in good Scottish fashion, to the fiueerest. wedding that ever was seen in the heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters that are under the earth.

He expressed also his grief at having never lard but. once from his son. The letter threw the unfor tunate young man into the most intense agi tation. All at once he opened the satchel given him. It contained a uijinber of gold pieces. Frenanlt looked at some of them. and suddenly s.aid to the priest, "Loot at these coins; they are Brazilian gold pieces!" V ithout vouchsafing iurtner explanations he left the bewildered priest and hurried again into the night. . Next morning he was "found in. a sense less condition, and covered with blood, in front of the drv-gooas store of herge Peuol- on. A ohysician found that Freiumlt had been stabbed repeatedly in tlie breast" with a knife. The wounds, however, were not very serious, and the young man was soon restored to consciousness. Meanwhile a still more startling discov ery had been made. The door of Penol- lon's store was open, but the shatters were -not removed. In the bed-room, iu the rear of the store, lay the blood-stained corpses Serge Penollon and his wue. 1 neir domestic tragedy which began daring the recent war in France was brought to a startling close by a scail'old scene in Orleans on the 4th of December. 1S73. On that day Frenault.de Ch.ampanue. was guillot ined for having limrdered his own mother Jeanne Louise, and her second husband Serge Penollon. Four years ago Jeanne Louise Penellon was the wife of Bernard Champannes, a pros perous dry goods merchant at Mersigny, near Orleans, bhe had been married to Bernard CRhmpannes, .and was iu 1869 still a woman of great beauty, although she had already a son, voting Frenault, nineteen vf.-irs olil The OUt'-c'V--' 1 ...."tl. a reckless disposition". "On the JtOth of Sep tember, 18G!), he disappeared trom lus father's house, and shortly after it was dis covered that G0.000 francs, intrusted to his father as one of the village supervisors, was missing. M. de Champannes had a book keeper named George Penollon, apparently devoted tu his master. LTpi this Penollon's evidence the fugitive was in contumaciou found guilty of having stolen public funds, and sentenced to 20 years' transporation. His father tried hard to ascertain the where- .ibonts of Frenault. Earlv in. -the war of ix70-'71 he succeeded in discovering that his sonjyas in Bio Janeiro and he received from Fcrnault a letter i.u which the young man acknowledged havi ig taken from" the safe only about 5.000 francs.

This is the fault of 1 had gained the usual meed of in- f,otll eses aiui D(.onies from, the "habit of both keeping up "style."

The wife held in her clenched right hand a but ton, and a piece of cloth .attached to it, .af terwards found to have been torn from the coat of Frenault. The latter made no secret of the part he had played in this terrible drama. He had returned to Mersigny, and had knocked at Penollon's door. Penollon himself opened it to him, and had been so frightened upon beholding him that he im plored -him not to kill him. The young man promised to spare his stepfather's life if the latter would answer him a few questions. Penollon readily accepted this proposition, and had taken him into the bedroom where Jeanne was. In the presence of the latter Penollon then confessed that he had, before the death of l)e Champannes, entertained a Unison with the wife of the latter; that, upon discovering the robbery, he hail Fnm seif appropriated the other S,000 francs;' that he had also appropriated 5,000 , francs, which De Champannes had sent his father in Brazilian gold from Rio Janeiro; and finally, that he (Penollon) had" fired the shots from the windows of De Champannes, and had denounced the hatter to the .German soldiers. "Thereupon," Frenault de Cham pannes said; "I seized the infamous, villi.an and cut his 'throat. Then 1 rushed upon my mother, and, notwithstanding her sup plication, killed her, too."

The exterior of this famous building has somewhat the form of a cross : the interior of the east end is square and the west a half circle. The chapels have all been erected on the inte rior, commencing at the north-east corner, and terminating at the south-west portion of the half circle.

There have not been any of the Kings, Queens, or any of tho nobility interred there lor there is no room. The Building of the Bank of England covers over four acres of ground, and fronts on' Thread Needle Street. It is a low, -flat, one-story building, with a high wall all around it. On the outside of the gaCe of the wall is an armed guard; on the in side is another; at the door, another and inside, another. I was rather surprised to see many; strangers looking around. One is obliged to have a card of admit tance. Audi was also surprised to see how very attentive and gentlemanly thoso were whose duty it was to show strangers around, particularly as it. was the Only place, so far' as I had visited, that they had not demanded a fee. In such a city as London of course there is a vast num ber of buildings that are very noted, and if I had an inclination to give an account of them; it might yjrove interesting to ma ny. I will only give a passing notice of a few: for .instance, tlie Royal Exchange an extensive building which lias an open court. In this court stands a statue of AVellington and one of Queen Victoria.- The Stock 'Exch.angc in Chapel Court, the Coal Exchange in Lower Thames street, the Corn Exchange in Mark Lane: :Thesc buildings are Very large and finej some of 'theni are of the Doric," while oth ers are of the Ionic order of architecture. Mansion House, the dwelling of tho Lord Mayor, is a showy building, but sinks into insignificance, when compared to the late Hotel de Yille, where the Mayor of Paris did reside until 1S71. Guild Hall, on King street, is a very large house, in which' nearly all the business of the corporation of the okv is transacted.' It has a dining- hall, in which it is said, 3,000 persons can bo seated; but, after all, it is a dark,j gloomy, ugly; building. There is another; building which. guides show one as wor- thy of much admiration: It is thoast In dia House, situated in Lcadenhall street a very large building, perfectly devoid of all taste. In this house much, of tho busi ness of the East India Company is trans- -acted. It contains a museum of interest ing objects of curiosity from India. Exe ter Hall, in the Strand, can "hold 3,000 people., tit is. a noted building for all kinds of meetings. It is very large, but entirely devoid of any kind of architectu ral tastes It is a great mass oh material thrown together, wl ich is more f an eye sore thau an ornament to the Jity. The- veimg over 1'iglit acres, and. situated on the north side of the Th.arnes. Ttjat por-. tion of the building which shows to the est advantage is on the facade that over ooks the Thames. Its style of 'architect ure is of the Tudor Gothic, so one can im- iginethnt.it is very showy, though con noisseurs and judges of proportion look up on its length, 900 feet, as too great for its leight. If it were cut tidy devoid of all ornament it would be taken for a one-sto- rv tobacco or cotton storing warehouse. lietween; the Strand and the Thames one will .see ui immense building: It is Som erset House.

As l'utnani is more posted on the subject tljian myself, I will make extracts from' a vthy interesting .article he has oil that subject. ; iSayshe: "To-the outsido spectator) littlei is to be seen except, a plain', substantial stone building, some 400x130 feet, supported by Ionic pillars. k -The individual at its head has under lis direction an anny of 20,000 persons. There are in Liondon 1385 letter-carriers; 739 clerks, stampers, sorters and sulsortei's er. gaged in the reception, delivery and dis patch of the mails, which are t?o arranged that all letters leave Jjondon, no matter in what direction, ,at the same hours 9 iuthe morning 'and 9 in the evening. Each letter goes through from ten to fourteen processes, and the wonder is how 500 men can handle 200,000 letters with so little confusion." I hope I will be excused for intruding a very interesting extract from the London Morning Post: "A return from the Dead Letter Office contains some remarkable items: in one year no. fewer, in round numbers, than 2,400,000 letters became dead; upwards of a million and a half were returned to the writers; 435,000 were destroyed, after all efforts to discover the writer had failed; 18i,000 were re turned unopened to foreign countries and the Colonies; and 187,000 were re-issuetl to corrected addresses. No less a sum than $3,350,000 in money, checks, jewelry ami other valuables were contained in these letters, and after all the owners were found who could possibly be discovered, ii- i ti i:ii : a more than a million uoiiars sun lciuaiucu in the Dead Letter Ouicc." I have made these two quotations to show the vast am ount of business attended " to in the Post Office Department in England. I VOTAGEUR. 'FOK THE OAZETTK. 'Messrs.
