That officer was found on deck alone, and it soon became evident to the most casual observer that a great affliction was suspended over his devoted head. The lady’s conversational apparatus was in splendid order and capable of doing deadly execution at a distance of 600 yards. The chief invited her to a seat in his private office, took a chair directly opposite his voluble guest, and after ev. ry thing had been appropri ately adjusted the head-gates of silence were removed, and then came a volume of words, the like of which has never been known since the last Donnelly campaign. The language flowed inces santly fora couple of hours at the rate of 400 gallons per minute. The chief turned ]i«le at the end of sixty minutes, as he was entirely unable to comprehend all the words poured into him, and in one hour and fifteen minutes he was too weak to make his voice heard through the telephone in response to inquiries concerning the condition of his health and mental faculties, When t lie two hours had expired, and the painful story of domestic unhappi tiess had been about half told, the poor man found himself too weak to speak above a whisper or stand alone, and he was driven home in a hack. He will recover if he can secure three days of perfect quiet and repose! A Mania for tills Sort of Thing. ' Manere, Mass., is excited over an «f f a j r which well ii'gh became'a tragedv. A young man had abandoned a lady to whom he had made promise of marriage, but she armed herself with a revolver and sought him for satisfaction. “Why.” said he, “what brings you here?” “Weil, J’f'«Come,” said sh-, “to bring you good news.” “ What is it?” said he, at the Hamu t,me reaching out Its right hand to shake hers, when she extended her left, the right being in her pocket grasping the revolver. Bhe then asked him to bend his bead down, as she wished to whisper in his ear. As he did so, she, like a flash, drew the revolver, and, placing it at his head, snapped the hammer down. The astonished man was t .o quick for l er, however. He j grasped the revolver and, instead just as the hammer | came down, of striki- g the , cap, it came down upon his hand, be | tween the thumb and forefinger. Tak- 1 ing the revolver away from her, he soon 1 had-her under control. He procured g | , horse and vehicle and took her to her home, where the whole story was related to the mother and father of the voting lady.

She was faithful to her friends to the Point of enduring exile for their sake. The First Napoleon banished her. When his nephew, after ward the Third Napoleon, was a pris oner, she visited him at the Con ciergene. When M. de Lomenie made her acquaintance she was spending what remained of her life in trying to console and amuse M. de Chateaubriand, who was sad, old and sickly. From the greatest opulence she had fallen into narrow means without ceasing to smile; and this smile sufficed to retain and at, tract the elite of polished society. To see her once begot the desire to see her con stantly. Humanity is not so gross or ignorant as we arc prone to think. A secret instinct draws it toward ideal be¬ ings, and when they are discovered, the world falls on its knees before them. Politicians were surprised to find that they forgot their ambition iu the pres¬ ence of Mmc, de Recainier, and literary men to feel that in coming into her presence their vanity subsided. Abnega¬ tion was no longer hard to practice.

It now appears that ihe Countess did express herselt to the effect that in case the Em press should die the Emperor would in all probability marry the Princess Dolgorouki.
