A Queer Story.
A foreign correspondent of the Pea-
Doby s Chronicle, New York, gives an
account of some singular results from
a broken pain of glass in Pnri. He
says:
. A question now universally asked
in every society in Paris is—“ Have
you seen the broken This
refers to an accident of a very extra
oidinary nature, which occurred in
the Huede la Moliere, a
hoot maker in that stpPT lias had for
tune “ thrust upon him” cart
knocking against his shop window.
Rather late at night, a restive horse
hacked a cart against the iron shut
ters of the shopfront, with such force
that a pane of plate glass immediate
ly behind the part struck v. as cracked
into thousands of splinters. M. Mo
licre’s first care was to secure tile ad
dress ofthe owner ofthe horse and
oait, and in the morning he was about
to send for a glazier, whoso hill he
v\ou!d have charged to the person re
sponsible for the trespass upon his
properly; hut this window was crack
ed in such a manner as no window
ever was before, and M. Moliere oh-!
served that every passer by stopped
Jo look at it, and exclaimed, “ How
curious !(’ “How extraordinary.”^—
During the whole day a crowd whs
collected in front of the house. It
then occurred to M. Moliere that since
his broken window appeared to pos
sess such attractions for the public, it
might answer his purpose to make the
public pay for the, gratification of
their cm i mity. Accordingly he put
up his outside shutter and charged
one franc per head for admission to
the exhibition, and in a few hours the
fume of it spread far and wide. Not
a single particle ofthe glass had fallen
out, hut the cracks radiating from the
centre with a wonderful regu arity
are so numerous that the pane pre
sents the appearance of a gigantic
cobweb. Seen from llio interior of a
shop by gas light, it presents the pris
matic colors with extraordinary bril
liancy. and may he compared to a
peacock s tail. A speculator has of
fered the enormous sum of 4000f. for
the purchase of the fragile property,
iind theolfor lias been refused. M.
Moliere calculates that he shall re
ceive that sum from Parisians alone,
and afterwards the pane may be re
mot ed in its iron Irame, and carried
