He cameto Paris in 1858, He had not yet come into possession of his [immense fortune; | his uncle was still living, and his in- come was modest. ee was a handsome man in the full force of the term-tall, s'ender, elegant; pale complexion, vomewhst bronzed: brown hair and | mustache: open and high forehead wind pale-blue Slav eyes, soft, languid and veiled by long Jashes. Under a| skin of satin he had muscles of steel; he was built to resist life and trinmph over fife. He alw ays used to dress in a short coat, a round hat, rather short trousers and shoes. He never wore a whisteoat and never suffered from cold. | He took up his quarters in a furnished wodging at 5 Parc ore r St. Honore, and it was there that began his famous | series of men’s soirees and suppers. Soon afterward Paul Demidoff became a member of the Circle de Ia Rue Royale, Paul Demidoff, however, was not a regular gambler; he played only by fits and starts. When he did play he played boldiy, for be was of the race of grand viveurs. From the Faubourg St Honore he a to the Rue du Marche-d'Ageussean, taking with him the same joyous band of friends, at the head of whom were Grammont-Cade- rousse, de Juigne and Gaston de Saint. Maurice. For a moment he had a pas sion for hunting, and rented some game preserves near Rambouiliet. Paul Dem dof’ had all the instinots of the Slav nature. He was eccentrio, sometimes excessively so. He wouid call up his servants, open all the windows, and take a cold bath. He had constantly at his bedside a decanter of iced champagne, of which he drank all night. Nobody, however, ever heard of Paul Demidof being drunk. In the morning he sometimes had fancies worthy of Nero. He would send for tour or five servants, and make them tight together until they had eliminated te victor, who received a handsome gratification.

An interesting little story floated up fron: Reno on this morning's train. Last eve: ing, shortly atter eight o'clock, a stylishly dressed young man, with young woman of good appearance hang- ing on his arm, called at the residence of one of the ministers of the place and said he wanted the services of the ¢lergy- man to unite him to the young lady He did not volunteer any information as to where himself or his companion came from. He produced his license and requested the clergyman to perform the ceremony as simply y and quickly as possible. Both evidently were of legal age, and the parson at once tied the knot. calling in the members of hisown family as witnesses. When the pair had been made husband and wife the groom drew a 85 ) green back from a fat- looking pocketbock and directed the minister to * take $10 from that.” His reverence, with many thanks, took the bill, and after diligent search hunted up $40 in coin, which he passéd to the bridegroom, who politely w ished the minister and his family good evening and walked off with his blushing and timid bride. This morning the pafson was making a tour of the hotels and using scmew hat woridly language, He could find the happy pair nowhere, and is convinced that the marriage was a mere trick to fase a 850 counterfeit greenback on iim. The bill is bogus, and as both bridegroom and bride have gone none know whither, it does look ss if some genius has discovered this pew method of “shoving the queer.

Dr. Allen Thomson, of London gives the following account of the scorpion committing suicide by means of his own poison. While residing many years ago, during the summer months, at the baths of Lucca, Italy, In a some. w hat damp locality, my informant, to- gether with the rest of the family, was much annoyed by the frequent intru- sion of small black scorpions in the house, and their being secreted mnong the bedelothes, in shoes, and in other articles of the dress. It thus became necessary to be constantly on the watch for the troublesome creatures, and to take some means for their removal and destruction. Havi ing been informed hy the natives of the place that the scor- pion would destroy itself if exposed to a sudden light, my informant and her viend soon became adepts in eatehin the scorpions and disposing of them in the manner suggested, This consisted in confining the animal under an in. verted drinking ¥ lass or tumbler, below which acard was inserted when the ea ture wns made, and then, waiting till da k, suddenty bringing the light of a candle neur the glass in which the ani- mal was confined. No sooner was this done than the scorpions invariably showed gigns of great excitement, run- ning round and round the interior the tumbler with reckless velocity for a number of times. This state having insted for a minute or more, the animal suddenly beeame quiet, and turning its tail, or hinderpart of its body over its back, brought its recurved sting down upon the middle of the head, pierc- ng it forcibly, and in a few moments became quite motionless, and in fact dead. of He Remembered Exactly.
