FOREIGN GOSSIP.
Pamif.r of Hasty BriuAL, A French Arch
bishop recently fiavenn account of his own nar
row ecape front death by premature burial, and
a bimilar story is now told by M. Lalu, cure of
(jizav, France. Ho says: ''I hav just wit
nessed a tact which has jrreatlv excited ilie peo-
Iile of the neighborhood. A woman named
iudoLOiide Denesbexti, who was Mipposed to
be dead, was to have been interred in the niorn
int?, and the relatives were all in attendance,
when the petson who had laid out the corpse,
as bIic was completing her work, fancied she
discovered a sllpht movement in the right arm.
Upon examination the woman was found to be
Still alive. 1 immediately went to see the
woman, ami found no pulse no movement; the
members were perfectly t-till", but by clone ob
servation at intervals an alinod imperceptible
swelling of one of the urt erics of the neck
could be discerned. I lt a lew drops of brandy
fall upon Iter teeth, which were clenched in
such a manner that if was impossible to sepa
rate them, and siiorily utter a slight hissing
noise as heard. Blipcontinues stitl (twenty
four hours after) in the same comatose state."
Emplotmknt tf Girls is Colli khiks. Amone
recent papers presented to the llntisli Parlia
ment Is the deuth of a girl twelve years old, at
the Mo.ss House Colliery, in Lancashire. On
going to work last mouth, on the first morning
I her engagement, she arrived at 7, instead of (J
O'clock, and found no one in attendance at the
surface, where f-he wan to lie employed, to in
struct her. Setting herself to Wui k as best she
could, she made a mistake which rebased an
empty truck on a descending railway, and, not
knowiug what to do, she was crushed in her
efforts to stop it. Mr. lligson reports that iu his
district a emit number of girls and women are
employed above ground to separate dirt and
hale from the coal, load the railway trucks, and
move them to and from t he screens', bin it is an
exception for a girl ot such tender age to bo so
employed, and he has not met with a parallel
case.
Family Nomenclature The "strang n name"
hich recently appeared in an advertisement in
the Canterbury papers, in Unslitnrl, respecting
claims on the estate of "Acts-Apostles pegden,"
has brought out nn explanation. Mr. Pegden
had four elder brothers, who were named
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, in succession.
When the nappy parent were presented with
their fitth sou, they deemed it a matter of reli
gion to adhere to the order of the calendar; and
o, when the infant Pegden was presented at
the tout, and the minister demanded "Name
this child," the good parBon w as startled with
the response, "Acts. Apostles." All remon
strance was vain. And so Mr. "Acts-Apostles
Pegden"' has handed down a name memorable
to posterity.
Oil Wells in Uussia. A very rich oil well
has been discovered in the district of Natuchaitz,
on the shore of the Caspian sea. After boring a
depth of one hundred and twenty feet in the
solid rock, a stream of oil made its appearance,
and flowed lor twenty minutes. A deafening
Boise followed, accompanied by a slight earth
ciuake. which so frigntened the workmen that
they all tied. When the noise had subsided a
let of clear w ater, tasting very salt, sprang up
' with great violence. Alter this jet had ex
hausted itseit (which i' took twenty-six minutes
in doing) a quantity of li th, smoke, and stones
issued our of the cavity, whieh was now found
to contain nothing but pure oil. Since then
front fifteen hundred to two thousand pailfuls of
the oil have been drawn out, the only instru
ment used being a common wooden siphon two
inches in diumeier.
TllK (iAINS OK DliAM AHO ArTOORS IN FltANCE.
The most successful comedy ot the season in
Taris continues to be the FamiUe Hmoiton,
filayed at the Vaudeville, in the Hue Vivieune.
t has now been played lor nearly live mouths
without inteirupt ion, except once during Holy
Week. Its bundle Ith night was the lltu of
February. The receipts of the house up to that
night were 463.7G1 traues, or an average of 4VM
francs per night. The gains of the author tor the
same period were first, 10,000 francs by way of
premium; second, author's tickets to the
amount of 108 francs lor each performance; and
third, twelve per cent, on the money taken at
the doors, so that he has received in three
months a sum ot 77,271) francs, or $L,4."0.
CoLOR-lSMNDNKMi. A curious essay on the
subject ol color-blMidness bus recently been pub
lished in l'otinmiltirjt's AnnttUn. The writer,
Dr. Hose, concludes, as the result of several ex
periments: -1. That with the color-blind it is
always the licht of the greatest or ot the leiust
refrangibility that first becomes imperfect. 2.
That invariably, as the disease increases, the
patient ceasos to'in rceive onlv that light which
had previously tie greatest or least refrangibi
lity of the rays visible to him. 8. That color
blindness is always characterized by a shorten
ing of the spcctiiun, ami never bv an interrup
tion. Heir Hose has invented an instrument tor
the detection ot color-blindness, and lor mea
suring the extent oi this condition.
An F.nthaohdinary story. Th" following
.anecdote is told in Berlin : At a hall given last
week, on the seventeenth birthday of the daugh
ter ol one of 1 tie noblest families, a mvs'eiious
tpure a monk mask entered the saloon pre
cisely at midnight, and disappeared, alter hav
ing presented the young lady with a basket ot
flower-. On examining the contents, nn ebony
cotlin was found inlaid with silver, containing a
bridal wreath, an arrow piercing a hly, and a
paper on which was written, "A greeting troni
the world ol shadows.'' It should be added that,
though the mother became ir.sensihle, the
yonng Countess did not lose her presence cf
mind, but coiitinii' d dancing, and betrayed uo
emotion whatever.
Sevkkk Wintkr iv Icki.anii. Iceland is always
a cohl place in w inter, as its name s'gnili -s, but
last winter was worse than usual. Dr. Hialtulin,
the principal physician on the island, writes:
"We have had a' frightful winter, the mean lent
Dcrature having been i degrees bi-iow the mean
of our winters. The thermometer dining the
last lew dajs has ranged betweeu 12 decrees and
14 degrees of Celsius. This state of things will
no doubt occasion a most trenieudou northern
icedritt, the consequence of which you will feel
in Kuglaud and i.tl.er northern countries. The
enormous iceblocks will be drifted into the
Atlantic, ami, melting there, will be the cause of
much rain, hail, and snow, with a considerable
low eiing of your mean summer temperature."
Hioukk Waoks in Irklnii. The rapid in
crease ot emigration from the southern counties
Of Ireland is producing a result of which the
laboring population cannot complain. The
' wages lor farm laborers havelutelv reached the
highest figure ever known in Kerry twelve

with board. In many parts of tho county of
Cork tho rate in ten shillings; and as emigration
continues a" blisk as ever, labor Is likely to
command this price eetterally. For twenty
year there lias not been such an emigration
troni the port of Droghetla as at present.
A csTtMAN Tyranny in Vknicb. At Venice,
lately, a body ol young men wished to present
Mad'lle Vnne'ri, of" the opera, a huge .bouquet,
but the police interdicted the rilt because the
flowers wero amnged t represent the national
colors. Thereupon the yotinR fellows made a
great shouting in honor of their favorite at the
theatre, and carried the bouquet to her house
in it gondola.
Iri.su Girls Sellinu ttikir Hair. A French
lotirniil says that "Ireland furnishes the chief
portion ol the false plaits worn now a-days by
Parisian ladies, and if the Corps Legislatit would
only bring in a bill lor putting a tax on the im
portation ot Irish hair into the empire, France
might, without damacing her budget, abolish
the stamp duty on newspapers."
A Jokk by Carlylk. It is said that Mr. Car
hie whs it-cent ly offered the decree of LL.l).,
but declined the honor, laughing it oH in a letter
with stich excuses as that he had a brother a
Dr. Carlyte (an M. !)., and known in literature
as the translator of "Dante"), ami that if two
Dr. Caihles should appear at Paradise, mis
takes might arise.
Salisbury Cathedral. The restoration of
the exterior of Salisbury Cathedral, in England,
is completed, excepting th' west front. Karl
lirauchanip has oilered one thousand pounds to
be expended on the erection of an altar screen,
as a memorial to his ancestor, Bishop Beau
champ, who was appointed in 145(1.
An Anatomical Phenomenon. A phenome
non was latt ly observed at Tournay, France. A
post-mortem examination of a young non-commissioned
ollicer, who died in the military hos
pital, showed that all the internal organs were
reversed the Heart was on the right side and
the liver on the left, etc.
A Button Collector. The late French com
poser, Clapison, w as a great collector of curiosl
lies. lie lias left, among other things, a col
lection of buttons ot the time ol Louis XIV,
the Regency, Louis XV, Louis XVI, and the
Revolution.
Perils ok Crinoline. The other day a man
pot entangled in the ciinoline ot a woman who
was walking along Ludgate Hill, London, and
was thrown to the ground, and so everely in
jured that death ensued lrom ellusloti ot blood
on tho brain.
A Piors Office. The Emperor of Austria on
Cood Friday went through the annual ceremony
ol washing the feet of twelve poor old men and
so many old women. The eldest of the group
was ninety-six years ol age, the youngest eighty
five. TnE FitENrn Bible Translation. The Pails
Society tor the translation of the Bible has
b.ien violently nt'iicked by the French Ultrn
montMites. The Bishop of 'Montauban declares
that the enierprise is neither honest, decent,
nor canonical.
Punishment ok CocK-FiiHTiN. The Belgian
Chamber is about to introduce a new clause
into the penal code ot that country punishing
with tine or impi isoninent all persons convicted

Decision iu the Colt Will Case.
A final decision by the Supreme Court Judges
on the contested will of the late Colonel Samuel
Colt was made yesterday ot New Haven. It is
decided that the interest of Colonel Colt's
brother, Judge Colt, in the stock of the Colt's
Anns manufacturing Company, is a life estate,
and not an absolute one; that he takes 574 shares
of the stock; and that besideB the back divi
dends he takes interest on the dividends, so far
as the Arms Company has used the money and
made interest. The Court distributes the re
sidueof the stock, which is loiiuJ to be 534G
shares, as follows:
To Mrs. Colt
lo James It. C olt (for hie;
To Samuel C to!'

A dividend, we believe, of about 150 per cent,
on these shares is now due lrom the time of
Colonel Colt's death. It would give $s0,000 as
Judcc Colt's share. It will be seen that a verv
large amount goes inio the hands o' Mr". C
