Then come the light troops—Red Hus sars, Grenadiers, ami Lancers; and finally swarms of Cossacks, gallop ing their little ponies, sweep along from the extremity of the Camp do Mars at full speed, stop and turn short at the foot ot the imperial tribune. These troops perform the exercises of Hie Arab fantansia— lie down on their saddles, lean ov ertolhe ground without quitting their stirrups and pick up the lance or pistol that they have thrown down before them. The artillery closes the march. The batteries, admirably horsed, are carried along at full speed by black charg ers as line as the finest trotters. As the last cannons disappear, rattling over the pavement behind the trees ot the summer garden, the court and its guests go to breakfast in the palace of the Prin ces of Oldenburg, which faces Camp tie Mars; and tiie foreigner who follows the emperor—his eyes still full of the heroic vision— wonders how a man cifn resist the intoxication of such power gather ed in ids hand and the temptation which must come upon him to let loose tiiis superb force against the world. An Abused Imago of Washington. Syplier, the Mew York dealer in art relics, curiosities, etc., has in his establishment a wooden statu® of George Washington with a history. The statue was set up at the Bai lor.' in 1701 and there it steod for 40 years or more until it got badly battered and became an eyesore to artists and art lovers.

A Marvelous Feat of Memory. M . Uartindale, in London Pub lie Opinion, cites some remarkable feats of memory, Alaretus tells us, and had the statement solemn ly attested by four Venetian noble men of undoubted honor, how in Padua lie met a young Corsican, who bad gone thither to pursue his •studies. Having heard that the young man was gifted with extra ordinary memory, so that he could retain and repeal as many as 30,- 000 words, read over by him once only, Maretusand some distinguish ed friand* asked if he would allow them to lest Iho accuracy of what report had stated, lie willingly consented, and there was read over an almost interminable list of words strung together without any consecutive meaning, in every va riety of language, even many of them mere gibberish. The young Corsican stood all the while with his attention deep iy fixed with his eyes cast down upon tiie ground. When it was time he looked up cheerfully and repeated the whole uniuteresf ing catalogue of woids without a sin gie fault. Then, to show liow careful ly ho retained every word, he went through the list backward, then tak ing every alternate word, first, third, fifth, etc., til! he quite tired out and perfectly satisfied Maretns that be was the most extraordinary man he had mot with in aii his travels.
