A Decidedly French Story of a Hen-pecked Husband. It is about a certain Mrs. N , whom you may see daily driving through the streets at a furious pace, with her meek-eved husband at her side, his face bearing the impress of fear in every feature. He would remind you of Sir. —i — Somebody’s picture of despair, if the ladicrous were not blended quite so strongly with affright. Mrs. N , however, is a stunner—a little hit many, hut a magnificent creature, and drives her phaetou well, though she does hold the reins a little too tightly, perhaps. Imagine, then, if you can, her indignation when she heard for the first time that Mr. N had accepted an invitation to sup at Brown’s, a jolly fellow of his bachelor days. “Only ourselves, you know, and Jones and Robinson,” had said Brown, and Mr. X accepted, not without mis givings, however, for what he would have to encounter when he com municated his rash promise to Mrs. N . As fate would have it, his wife looked awfully splendid and fierce that night. Between love and fear his tongue refused to speak the words. lie would wait till next morning—there was no hurry. In a word, he did not tell her at all, and it was by the merest chance, of course, that she heard of it^ “And so, sir, I hear you are going to supper with that horrible man, M% Brown, to morrow?” “I certainly ara invited, my dear.” “And what do you propose doing, Mr. N?” “To accept the invitation, of course, my dear.” “Then, of course, you expect me to accompany you ?” “To a bachelor’s supper party, my dear? Impossible!” “Then you don't go, that is all, my dear.” And Airs. N closed her mouth, and spoke no more that evening. Mr. N- resolved he would be master this time, and in silence made his plans. The day came. No more had been said on either side—nothing relative to the subject was said now. Yet lam reluctantly compelled to record the fact that Mr. Brown and his friends were disappointed of their friend N’s company that night. “Ibat she wouldn’t let him come,’’said one. “I only saw him this morning,” said Brown, and he promised to be here. “ What a lark if we called on him.” “ Let us,” say all. And they did so. A thundering knock, N——*s street door was opened to Brown, Jones, and Itobinson, and, they were shown into the dining-room where Mr. and Mrs. N sat immovable in their chairs —fast asleep. They had administered a strong opiate to each other, unawares. The wife to keep the husband at home—the husband to quiet the wife. A divorce is pending. Counterfeiting is California.— The Alta Californian says : “Certain persons in California are stamping base metal into the semblance of coin, cover ing it bv a galvanic process with a thin coat of gold, and selling it to simple people as pure gold. The business has been carried on extensively, and some persona think the little bits of pewter with a film over them, are nice presents to send to the Kant. If the venders would state that they nre of base metals, no one could find fault, but purchasers nre led to believe that the material is precious inctnl throughout. The stamp is unlike any good coin, so there is no violation of the law. Souio of the quarter eagles coined are covered with a fair quality of gold, hut contain only about, twelve and a half cents worth of the article. CITY DiUIhCTOK Y. MUNICIPAL <W*VKRNMENT. Mityor —Hon.
