Being the principle seaport of France we faeie see vessels at all kinds and from every country, mi Ito we people who have been raised in the moun tains a seaport alway sis attracive. Here, getting aboard a little steamer, we were soon at Chateau dlf, on a little rocky island of the same name. This castle, celebrated by Dumas in his ‘Monte Cristo, was built in 1529 and used as a state prison, in each room or 1 ungeon is n listofpeisons that occupied them ; in one of these rooms ‘‘The Man with the Iron Mask ’ wae confined until his removal tojtne We of Margarite, from the top is a line view of tbe city about two miles distant.

We have noticed in several of the very old towns, in the middle of some square, what we took to be fountains of some kind. They were built of stone about three feet high and from ten to twenty feet square. The tops were about two feet wide and several inches higher ou the outside. This is the public wash place and we saw around one of these places ; twelve or fifteen women washing ! and talking. The garment is dip ped in the water, then drawn up on top,soap rubbed on and then rubb dvery hard with a brush. We saw no boards used. Five minutes walk and we were down on the beach where we secured a row boat and after a delig tiul ride over the clear waters of the Mediterranean, we were at Nice. A. Roman. Maciel Paige.

A Dramatic Prevention of Assas sination in a Gambling Hell A crowd of people witnessed a singular scene here the other night sn which a man’s life was saved atier as novel a fashion as ever any writer ol fiction hasevolved Rafe I Suufier, a well known sporting man, was seated m a gambling sa iooii talking to a friend, who had only lately come here from the East. Shaffer was telling his cem pauion of a quarrel that he had with another man about town, whom he suspected of being about to make an attempt on his life. As he was speaking the Eastern man suddenly interrupted, him with a question . “Say Shsffer, do you remember your old business as a telegraph operator?’’ Shaffer, who it seems, had fol lowed this trade before going West, looked surprised, but answered that he did. “Weil, you kuow it’s a very * asy thing forgotten . Now I will bvt you can’t tell me what I am going to lick out here ou this ta ble.” The Eastern man then took a pencil from his pocket and began to tick off a message, which, as he finished, caused Shaffer to spring hastily from his seat, drawing as he did so a revolver from his pocket, which he thrust almost in the face of a man who had been standing in the door of a saloon, and who had just covered him with his pistol. The two men glared at each other, and Shaffer said candy : “Better put up that weapon, Smith, unless you want to eheot it out with me here. I have got the drop ou you as much as you on me. ” Smith hesitated, aud then re plied that tie would put up his pis. lol’if Shaffer would, and consent ed to leave the question between them the arbitration of mutual friends, Shaffer agreed to the arbi tration plan, as it seems both man had their reasons for not letting their cause of the bad blood be tween them be known to the pub ii<. Smith thanked his quick-wit ed friend for the sevice he render ed him. The message of the East ern man rapped out as follows: “If your enemy is a daik-com plexioned man with a hooked nose and a scar ou the left cheek he has just entered the saloon, and has nis hand on hi 8 pistol pocket, It you tear treachery from him move q lickly or b.e’H have the drop on you. 1 am unarmed, so that I can not draw tor you. Draw now, as he has his pistol out, aud, unless you are as quick as lightning, he wi“l have you. ” Shaffer’s keen ear caught the words, and he acted at ence on them, as has been shown. His wheeling so suddenly about on Smith took that gentleman so by surprise that he was compelled to back down. —Philadelphia Times, A LOCK OF HAIR.
