LQD6M6S To LET. EpUode of the Fnadi Daring the Exposition, Paris was vis­ ited by mania for lodge-letting. From the middle of April, hanging up at the •doors of the houses, in the fashionable and central neighborhoods of the French capital might be seen bills with Joli apartement meuble a loner present­ ment "--" Handsome furnished apart­ ments to let;" and many afamilv, many a widow, many a bachelor or widower emigrated to some distant outskirt, giv­ ing up their apartments to strangers or foreigners, in consideration of receiving • oome thousand francs, while they them­ selves nestled down, during the great influx, in some humble locality, within or without tbe walla. In letting, there Was no distinction of nation made ; the torms were the same for one and all-- for the native compatriot, as well as the Milord Anglais--tor rfche German Baron, as welt as the Russian Boyard, the Polish Count, the dollar-laden American. --Cor everybody, in short, whoeouldpay; that was the one condition. Madame de Y -n young and hand­ some widow of 25, who, on the first of April in that memorable -year, had thrown off her weeds, resigned herself, among foe rest, to the reigning epidemic. 'One morning she ran for the lodge-keeper of the house in which she resided 'in the Chaussee d'Antin, and ordered him to nail up at the portecochere the universal bill. ; !4< Bless my soul! tfhet runnings up and down I shall have of lit !" exclaimed, in petto voce, with a piteous shrug, the seemingly-disconsolate porter, but who inwardly rejoiced at the circumstance; for he, also, hoped tcreapa golden har­ vest from the new-comers. "N'importe, Andre;" continued the charming young widow--«rN'»m porte; let my apartment for 3;000 francs, and yon shall have your commission - of--let me sec--5 per cent, if to a bachelor or widower; 4 per cent, if to a married couple without any > infantile . encum­ brances ; and 3 per cent., if 'to «.«family --and there are 5 Somes tfco drink my health." "Alas! alas!" greened -the porte- cochere Cerberus, as 'he pocketed the silver piece and promised, in A 'tone of melancholy devotednes6, to do his best. That evening the widow, accompanied by her femme de chMfibre, • took; up her quarters in a small cottage near the vil­ lage of FontcMay-aux lioses, outside the Barriere d'Eufer, and contiguous: to the pretty Bois de Mcudon., where she rusti­ cated in the full enjoyment of her inde­ pendent widowhood till ?tiie • expiration • of the term. On the 2d of Augwt "following, 'Ma­ dame de T retnrued tto,Paris,, and drove to her residence, 'believing that her apartment, which had -been let by > the concierge, was vacatad^and. ready for »her. « " Madame," said AnAm, •<<rthe genti©- tman has not yet gone.** ^ " ̂ hat gentleman, Aadre?" "The lodger, madame. Monsieur.tie BP' , a- provincial gesBfileman, very .«3mme il f*nt. Yet it is not i my fault, ior I informed him, th^ee days o^o, that kis time wae up, and thai ihe meet go; hut he saidio me that it was all xight; it'Was his aAUir, and he would ^square all matters with madame." J" Go and inform him. Aadre, rtkat I liwe returned,,and want my aywurtownts immediately.*' " Useless, madame--compdetcly .aae- less. He was headstrong as a doakey; he wouldn't listosa to lie; it is with y*>u alofM he wishes-to confer." " Ee it so. Andfie. Go befone xuid aa- nonuca me." Madame de Y----- was received most graeiift'.siy and politely by the pnoronoidl . tenant, who thus atitlressed her: ! •• Ytm (mnnot eoue^ive, madam*. ,how comfortable I find icy self in this your pretty apartment, itni how much f de­ sire to s^-end in it the remaining I My meaning is this, madame; my nwne is ArtJuir--Baron Arthur de B--. I belong to An old and honorable family --am a bachelor, and 32 rears of age. My estates ape worth 50*000 francs a y®®'--but this X mention out of respect to the laws of business ; and despite the originality and queerness of my conduct,, which may perhaps have offended you, I am considered a very good-natured person; and, upon the whole, 1 flatter myself I am a man fully capable of mak­ ing a lady happy. Wiil you, therefore, do me the honor of accepting my heart, my hand, and my fortun-j ?" To this sudden proposal Madame de Y--replied with dignity : "Your jest is not in very good ta^te, sir, and all I mm do is to laugh at it." " Serious, most serious, madame, I nm indeed--and, on the faith of a gentle­ man, I beg you to believe it." " What, sir! you propose marriage merely that jou may not have to give up my apartments !" " A little upon that account, madame, but still more because of a more over­ powering reason ; for among the many considerations I have had the honor of laying before you, there is one I dare not mention, but allow me now to con­ fess it--I love you." At this avowal, Madame de Y-- blushed to the eyes. What lady, young or old, would not have done so, particularly when the avowal came from a young, handsome and wealthy man ? However, she took it in good part, and laughed oiAright at her interlocutor ? "Yon are laughing, madame, and however--" " Yonr folly provokes my laughter, Monsieur le Baron. I really cannot help it" " Nevertheless, madame, I can sssare yon I am fully master of my reason, or at least as much of it as remains, sub­ dued as it is by intense passion." "What, sir! intense passion at first sight!" "You forget, madame, that I have been living three long months in your apartments, and that your portrait, which I now see as an adorable likeness, is iuuigmg up there in the next room. It was the first object that caught my attention on entering, and I have looked at and admired it every day since. Nor was I captivated by the charms of your beauty alone, for I am well acquainted with your merit in every way, your many superior qualities and your irreproacha­ ble character. A man, however so little he may lie versed in womanly affairs, cannot spend three months in a lady's apartment without noticing and studying many things disclosing her habits, her tastes, her feelings. I have been an acute, and, perhaps, an indiscreet, ob­ server, madame; and what I have dis­ covered has captivated my heait for­ ever. That heart I offer yon again, and humbly wait yonr answer to know my fate." J There was no'boiribast, no fanfaronade in the Baron's language, it was the re­ solve of a man who had made up his mind, and was determined to succeed. But the mom he urged his suit, the less he advanced rn it: till at last the widow signified to him, in due form and un­ mistakable phraseology, that he must instantly shift his quarters---thus giving him his leave, and intimating to him at the same time "that he must never think of setting foaft in her residence again. " Very weH, madame--I withdraw, and will not return till you invite me to do So;" the answer to which parting words was a saucy smile, and a toss of the head which evidently meant, " You have long to wait, Monsieur le Baron, before receivinm>such on invitation." However, at the end of a few days, the invitation was sent, and the Baron ar­ rived just as ishe widow had completed making herself more charming thau ever. " What have OPbeen apprised of, sir?" said Madame de Y to him, as he seated himself in an armtchair a la Vol­ taire right opposite to her. "During my absence, you brought my long- pending lawsaittto an amicable arrange­ ment." " Why, yefy madn me; < but you must be neither pleased nor displeased with me on that aocnunt, <as ll aqted only in my own interest'*' " How so, if you please, Baron?" "The fact its, -the lawyers' clerks were calling here with their papers every day; and, owing to a 'heavy and protracted suit I once had myself, I' have an utter aversion to < very 4 limb of the law,' as our allies, Messi«nrs les Anglais, have it Being acquainted^with your plain­ tiff, who is a debtor mine,'I made use of my influence over him, and soon got him to forego hes unfounded claim, and he made over to Die what he called his rights. It is tlweforean affair between him and me. But irest assured, mad­ ame, that your delicaoy.and susceptibil­ ity shall never htwe to .«»m>lain of izny proceedings. Y«ur lawsuit is forever quashed, nnd ths*t is all !*' Whereon the Baron looked the wiliow steadfastly but respectfully in-the faee, and gave no further explanation. Madame de Y--~ was -somewhat cop- fused; but, in spite of heself, she was !Kttu«u!, ,ve*7 i continually forced to think of her et- .no my »:!l tenant In every raamof her apartment he had teft some soatmnir. of his sojourn she might betray her senrtbilile at so noble nn action. But another cireum- st-vuee soon came to light, and caused the Baron to be invited, suddenly and nervously, to call a second time. This circumstance was as follows: A coxcomb, Leopold de R young imagining j - £ AV j UMI^IUiU. he had fallen in love with Maduiny d_ Y , be cans a, living in the house op­ posite to I era, he ha I cl auaed lit* and theu to see her at the balcony before missing her all on a sudden ar her de­ parture from her apartment. After many days' anxiety he determined np m writ­ ing her a billet doux, infcrmii g her of his love, and stating that he woi ll call that evening for an answtr. Having written his note, he wrapped it up in a small paper parcel and jerked it over the balcony into the window. It haj>- pened that the Baron had just finished the second breakfast he had taken in the house, and was poring over tho newspaper when the parcel dropped into the room. He took it up, and, finding no superscription, he opened it and reau the following: Chaining neighbor, for weeks and wetke hive I admired you lrom my window-ioat op­ posite. O how superlatively bappv «hoall"I be were you to do me tUe honor of admitting n»e to Tour presence, and allowing me to de­ clare tuvHtll aud crave pardon tor my pre- At 8 this evening.

He came, and the door was opened to hitn by the Baron in propria permnat. " Is Madame de Y---- at home ? " " She is not at home for you." "And pray, by what right do you re­ fuse me admission ? " " Methiuhs that right is very evident" "And you are here in her apart­ ment?" " True; but for the time being it is my own." The dialogue went rapidly on from cross words to a challenge; aud on the morrow a duel took place in one of the coppioe-woods of the Bois de Boulogne. This time, Madame de Y had ev­ ery reason, she thought, for blaming the Baron's conduct; so another invita­ tion was sent to him, which he duly at­ tended to. "How is this, Monsieur le Baron? " said the widow in tremulous and re proachful accents--"expose your lifa with such a puppy--a life so useful, so precious ! O, truly, I cannot but think you more foolish than wise." "I confess, madame, that I, was wrong ; bHt I merely wanted to put the young puppy, as you justly call him, in his right place, and save you forever from his importunities. He scratched me, but I gave him a gentle sword-thrust which will prevent him from annoying you for some time to come. Was that not a service worth having, my charm­ ing landlady t" " Yes ; but at such a price--the risk of your life and my reputation! Gra­ cious ! Baron, what will my friends think of me after such an affair ? You have compromised me terribly by your gen­ erous, your noble, your magnanimous conduct" " 'lis true, very hue, dear lady, aud I now begin to see I acted too rashly upon the impulse at the moment; and that, in tact, [ owe yoa a repara­ tion. " Madame de Y thought so like­ wise. "Well, my dear Baron," said she, proffering her hand, "since it was to be, it must be, *o let it be--vtm are friends." "And betroth«d >onea. mvchanaer." cried the enamored Baron, fondly pressing to his lips the widow's rij>e, red lipe. "And the marriage-day? When V "Oh,dear me! Man Dieu, vifltat a man! In a month henoe." And the compact was sealed. A Hot-Water Hirer. The great Sutro tunnel, cut to relieve the celebrated Comstook mines at Vir­ ginia City, Nevada, of the vast quantities of hot water which is encountered in them, affords an outlet to 12,000 tons every twenty-four honrs, or about 3.000,- 000 galione. Home of 'the water, >os,it finds ite way into the mines, has a tem­ perature of 195 degrees, while fou. miles from tbe mouth of the tunnel the tem- |>erature ranges from 130 to 135 degrees. To obviate ;the inconvenience which would arise irom the vapor such oast quantity af water would give off the flow is conducted through the entire tsin- nel, four miles, in a tight flume made of pine. A£ the point of exit the water has ost but seven degrees of heat. Sixty feet below the-mouth of the tunnel the hot water utilised, for turning machiuery | belonging to the company, from whettee it is carried off.by.a tunnel 1,100 feet in length, which ^serves as a water-way. Leaving itihe waste-way tunuel, tbe water! flows to tJie Carson River, a mile and a half distant. [This hot water is being utilised Jar many purposes. The boy« have arranged several pools where they indulge in hot tb&ths.

But gctater still was her wirpnse when she heard the provin­ cial declare lik determinat ion to keep it, even if it was necessary to stated a regu- |ar sie^.

At La&t, after much speechify- iag on both sides, the gentleman, breaL ing a pa«se of apparently deep reflec­ tion, spoka again; '•Well, madame, mains bat one way to arrange _ dispute, so as to enable yoa to r^'^1 possession of your delightful wti^ without ousting me from it" " SVhat is your meaning, sir?" de­ manded the bewildered young widow looking still more charming in her amaawnent •aidhe, "there oar littLs re- s«emed R.ost charnu&g to ther, while they piqt»)d her curiosity; aid when tht t impoitant part of ilie femakj consti­ tution is f.wakened ctaher aoctiments soon come torth and blossom. .Niow it lujppened that, tthe d&v after the Baron's i»ivited visit, * .poorvv oman, the another ot a family to whom Madame de'Y waski the habit .of giving,3tated {pecuniary relief, called to thankili ir for ler laat munificent douaii<an, whicl, she said, would keep her and hers forever.

A MACHINE for making laces hitherto produced only by hand-work is reported in France. Even old styles of laces, the art of making which has been lost, can readily be produced. The machine em­ ploys from 1,800 to 2,000 spindles, and from 200 to 300 pins. The Moniteur dts Fils rt Tissu speaks in high terms of the machine and its products, which is said to be fully equal to the best hand-made laces. AT VARIOUS points in the heavens there are clusters of stars, some of these con­ taining as many as 2,000 distinct orbs. Astronomers have established the fact that the smallest of these stars has a diameter of 180,000,000 of miles--orbs compared with which our earth is as an orange to the dome of St. Paul's; and yet there are thousands of such suns, in one of these faintly luminous clusters, scarcely visible to the eye! THE effect of the virbrations of sound is very peculiar. Here is an example: A plate of glass or metal may be held between the finger and thumb at one corner, having been previously strewn over with fine sand, then a fiddle-bow be drawn near one of its angles, the sand agit > the form of a Latin cross, the bow be drawn near the middle of one of the sides, a St Andrew's cross will be formed. IN COLORADO is a ten-acre field which is no more nor less than a subterranean lake covered with soil about eighteen inches deep. On the soil is cultivated a field of corn which produces thirty or forty bushels to the acre. If one will take the trouble to dig a hole the depth of a spade handle he will find it to fill with water, and by using a hook and line fish four or five inches long can be caught The fish have neither scales nor eyes and are perch-like shape. METEOKOLOOISTS have found that United States storms usually advance from the Upper Mississippi Valley to­ ward New York aud New England, less frequently toward Virginia and seldom toward the Carolinas. American Btorm centres most frequently pass off the coast between 45 and 50 degrees north latitude. The great waves of high barometer, with fierce northwest winds in their front, usually advanco from the Rock Moun­ tains toward Virginia and the Carolinas, but less frequently toward New England. BY'KEEPING the soil beneath charged with moisture, forest regions teud to make gradual and constant the supply of waters to the rivers and give uniformity to the flow; and lieijce, when forests are cut away, the rains reach speedily tbe streams, making them liable to alternate periods of wasteful viotence and worth­ less feebleness. The cuttiug away -of the forest has led, in the French Alps, to ^controllable floods, despoiled fields and an impoverished people; aud, in America, to annual seasons of dry mill-ponds, an immense sacrifice ot available water power and the desertion of many a mill «ite. WHILE our knowledge of the regions surrouuding the North Pole has been greatly extended by tho energy and en­ terprise of moderu explorers, compara­ tively little has been done in the explo­ ration of corresponding portions of the southern hemisphere. At the head of an American expedition Lieut Wilkes believed that he bail established the ex­ istence of an Antarctic continent; and this discovery was verified a year later by Sir James Ross, who found the exten­ sive Victoria Land, with mountaius 14,- 000 feet high and an active volcano. The Pay of Book-beepere. In this city, where business k widely extended, a book-keeper who has his employer's confidence can keep the lat­ ter continually blinded in points of great importance. The merchant wiliinquire, VHotv much money have we in the bank, Mr. Brown?" Mr. Brown will repty generally in a correct manner; but he may, by ingeniously altering figures, make a delusive show, it is said that "figures will not lie." Naturally speak­ ing they will not, but in the hands of a skillful accountant they may bo made to •do-so in a very surprising manner. The book-keeper McGulchen, of the Ocean Bank, succeeded in robbing that institu­ tion of §66,000 before detection, while j the book-keeper Leverich, of the City Bank, obtained $400,(400 of that iustitu- tioii. This, however, was an uausual haul, and will not soon 'be equalled, but itrshows what can be done. If lack of pay could be urged iu •extenuation, the book-keeper would have a powerful plea. 'This is always small iu proportion to the work required. They ace not and never will be paid more than enough "to eke out <a hard living. Some who have an unu­ sually laborious and responsible position may get what is called t daigh salary-- say $2,000; but such instances are very rare, and yon can hire eldest hands at $!1,500. The hardest worked-foook-keeper I ever knew got only $2,000, and his htlaors nearly, occasioned laihufiness. He had a very extensive set of .Woks, and hie neat hand ;and immense columns of figures were matters of ndmii'ction, but it WAS killing work. In large houses the boofe-ikeeper is occupied chaefly «ith the ledger, and hua.enough to do <to attend to "fating accounts" and keepiug the books balanced. He will hane his montlSy balance >sheet, commonly called a "trial tbalance," iready by the first of the month, and .the accurate balance between the debit And credit aide will prove that the ledger has been kept cor­ rectly. £f an error, even of only a, dune, appear, it must be discovered at b>w- eyer great a cost of time and study, and I have known a book-keeper to spend three days looking up just such an item. Hence the work requires great care and j an habitual exactness in figures.-- York Letter. SCRAPS OF SCIENCE, dietetic questions. The oyster is almost the only animal substance which we eat habitually, r.ntl by preference, in the raw or uncocked state, and it is interest­ ing to know that there is a sound physi­ ological reasou at the bottom of {•us preference. The * fawn-colon d mass which constitutes the daintv part of the oyster is its liver, atod this' is little else than^ a heap of glycogen. Associated with the glycogen, but withheld from actual contact with it during life, is its appropriative digestive ferment -- the hepatic disastase. The mere crushing of the dainty between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the gly­ cogen is at once digested, without other help, by its own diastase. The oyster in the uncooked state, or merely warmed, is, in fact, self-digestive. But the ad­ vantage of this provision is wholly lost by Oooking, for the heat employed im­ mediately destroys the associated fer­ ment, and a cooked oyster has to be di­ gested, like any other food, by the eat­ er's own digestive powers.

They formed an association lor the avowed purpose of promoting temper­ ance, friends hip, aud such-like virtues. One of the associates was already the happy possessor of a dramshop; the as­ sociation bought liim out hoek, stock, and barrel; then--foi he was a jolly good fellow-- they elected him to the honor­ able and onerous position of treasurer, becomes agitated, and finally resolves ' and left him in charge of the old shop, itself into the form of a Latin cross. If j So anxious were the promoters to extend the benign benefits of temperance and friendship that the doors of their society were thrown open to any and to all who were willing to pay the nominal fee of one dollar. In token of payment of the fee the member received a ticket upon which were the numbers from one to twenty inclusive. When moved by one of the "Beaaons why men drink; Good wiue, a friend, because Fm dry, Or lest I Kkould be by and by, - Or any other reason why," the member called upon the treasurer, presented his ticket, had a number punched, and received his liquor or his cigar. The treasurer took all the money , gave no account to the others, and bought all the drinkables and smokables. The court was so prejudiced, narrow- minded, and opposed to the enlightening influences of temperance and friendship that it considered the whole affair a fraud aud a device to evade the law, and that the treasurer was guilty of unlaw­ fully selling intoxicating liquor.
