The queen looked unusually happy, and seemed to take a lively interest in all around her.

The pretty baronno blushed, looked up to her husband for his approval, then unclasped one of tho bracelets and handed it to the officer, feeling not a lit tle flattered at the attention and distinction the queen had conferred on her. The last not of the opera began, and at longih-tho last scone ended, vet tho bracelet was not ‘returned.

Take the brace let, and I hope you will bring mo both back ere many days nave passed/ The inspector still hesitated, but at length consented to do as the barronno wished him and went away bearing the sparkling orna ment with him. On her husband's return the-baronno of course told him of the joyful discovery. A week, however, passed away without the inspector's arriving with the stolen property. One morning, therefore, the baron called on the inspector to make inquiries respecting it. The fatter seemed .very touch surprised oh being asked’if the bracelet,had -been brought from Lyons. ‘What does monsieur mean ? I never heard anything about the bracelet having been found at Lyons—it is surely a mistake, Monsieur has misunderstood la bar onne/ • You had better come yourself and have this strange mystery cleared up, Madame In speotour,’ answered the baron, sternly.— * Madame is at homo, arid will be happy to assure you herself that it is no mistake, that you called and informed her of the diamonds having been traced to Lyons.' The .baron and the inspector repaired to the Rue des Champs Ely sees, where they found. Madame de V at home, as her husband had said. She confirmed what ho had already said about the inspector having called one night at dusk, and having informed her that tho bracelet was" supposed to be at a Jew’s second hand shop at Lyons.

Kilkenny Cats —. Luring the rebellion which occurred in Ireland in 1798 (or it may bo. in 1803*) Kilkenny was garrisoned by a regiment of Hessian soldiers, whoso custom it was to tie together in one of their barrack rooms two cats by their respective tails, and then to throw them face to face across a line, generally aaed for drying clothes. Tho cats natur-allv became infuriated, and scratched each other in tho abdomen until death en sued to one or both of them, and terminated their sufferings. Tho officers of the- corps were ultimately made acquainted with these barbarous acts of cruelty and they resolved to put an end to them, and to puhish tho of fenders. In order to effect this purpose, an officer was ordered to inspect each barrack room daily and report to tho commanding , officer in what state he found the room. The cruel soldiers, determined not to lose their daily torture of tho wretched cats, -generally employed one of their comrades to watch the approach -of the officer* in order that. tho. cats might ho liberated, and take refuge in flight before the visit of the officer to the scene of the torture.

Wo speak and , think of it with sad ness, just as we thinkof tho autura season.— But there should bo no sadness at tho fading of a life that has done its work well. If wo rejoice at tho advent of n now pilgrim to the uncertainties of this world’s way, why should there bo so much gloomwhenall these uncer tainties are past, and life at Us waning wears the glory of a completed task ? Beautiful as is childhood in its freshness as innocence, its beauty is that of untried life.— It is the beauty of promise, of spring, of the bud. A holier and rarer,beauty is the beau ty which the waning lifej of faith and duty wears. y It is tho beauty of a thing completed; and as meh come together t 4 congratulate each other when some great Work has been achiev ed, and see in its concluding nothing but gladness, so ought we to feel when the setting sun flings hack its beamsupon alife’s purpose. When the bud-drops ate blighted and tho mildew blasts tho early grain, and there goes all hope of the harvest, one may well be sad, but when the ri ened year sinks amid garni ture of autumn flowers and leaves, why should we regret or murmer? And so a life that is ready and waiting for the 1 well done” of God, whose latest virtues and charities are its noblest, should be given back to, God in uncomplaining reverence, we rejoicing that earth is capable of so much sad ness, and is permitted such virtues. figy-Well, friend, -what do you think of your friend Everett now ?

Professor Tyndall sends to the London Times a narrative of a rather oxciting adven ture in the Alps. On the 3d of July he and two friends, with a couple of guided, Jcnni and “Walter, ascended the Piz Morteratch.- The ascent was accomplished safely, hat not the descent, which was made along the Blor teMtch glacier: Wo at length reached, the point at which it was necessary to quit our morning's track, and immediately afterwards g»t upon some steep rocks, which wore rendered slippery here and there hy the water which trickled over them. To our right was a broad couloir which was once filled with snow, but this had been molted and rc-frozen, so as to ex pose a sloping wall of ice. We were all tied together at this time in the following man ner : Jenni led, I came next, thqu my friend XI, an intrepid mountaineer,- then his friend L, and, last of all, the guide Walter. After descending the rocks for a time, Jenni turned and asked me whether I thought it better to adhere* to them or to try the ice slope to our. right. I pronounced in favor of the rooks, but he seemed to misunderstand me, and turned toward the couloir. llo.Giit steps, reached’ the snow, andi descedded carefully, along it, all following him, apparently in good order.. . *• ; After a little time.ho stepped, ttifned arid looked upwards at tbo ladfe! three men. He said* something about keeping carefully in the tracks, adding that a false step might- der tach an 'avalanche. The word was scarcely uttered When 1 heard the sound of a fall be hind mo, then a rush, and in the twinkling of an eye my two friends and 411017 guide; all apparently entangled together, whirled past mo. I suddenly: planted myself to resist their ■shock ', but in an instant X Was in their wake, for their impetus was irresistible. • A moment afterwards Jenni Was whirled away, and thus nil five of us found oursolyoa.ridlng downwards with uncontrolablo speed on the back of an avalanche, which a single slip bad | originated. When thrown down by the jerk of the rope, I turned promptly on my face and drove my baton through tbo moving snow, seeking to anchor it in the ice under neath. I ban held it firmly'thus for" a Tew j seconds, when I came into collision with I some obstacle, and was rudely tossed through the air,-Jenni at. the same time being shot down upon me. Both of ua hero lost our batons. We had, in fact, been carried over a crevasse, had hit its lower, edge, our great velocity causing us to be pitched'beyond it. I was quite bewildered for a moment, but immediately righted myself, and could 566 those in front of me half buried in the snow, and jolted from side to side by the ruts, among which they were passing. Sud denly f saw them tumbled over by a larch of' the avalanche, and immediately afterwards found myself imitating their motion. This was caused by a second crevasse. . Jenni Jcnow of its existence, and plunged right into it—a brave and manful act, but for the time unavailing. He is over thirteen stontj in weight, and he thought that by jumping into the chasm a strain might be put upon the rope sufficient to -chock the motion. He was, however, violently jerked out of the fissure, and almost squeezed to death by the pressure of the rope. A long slope was before us which led directly downwards to a brow where the glacier suddenly fell in a declivity of ice. At the base of this declivity the glacier was cut by a series of profound -chasms, and to wards these we were now rapidly borne.— =• The three foremost men rode upon the fore head of the avalanche, and were at times al most wholly immersed in the snow; hut the i moving lava was thinner behind, and Jenni incessantly and, with desperate energy, drove his feet into the firmer substance underneath. Ilis voice shouting, “Halt! .Herr Jesus, halt 1" was the only one heard during the decent. A kind of condensed memory, such as that described by people who have-narrowly es caped drowning, took possession of mo; and I thought and reasoned .with preternatural clearness as I rushed along. Our start, more over, was too sudden and tho excitement too great to permit of’the development of terror. The slope at one place became loss steep, tho speed visibly slackened and wo thought we were coming to rest; the avalanche-, howcv- ; or, crossed the brow which terminated this gentler slope and regained its motion. Here 11. threw his arms around his friend, all hope for the time being extinguished, while I gras ped my belt and struggled fof* an instant to detach myself. Finding this difficult I re sumed the pull upon tho ropol My share in the work was, I fear, infinitesimal, but Jon-- ni’s powerful strain made itself felt at last.—- Aided probably by a slight change of incli nation, he brought the whole to rest within a short distance of the chasms over which, had we preserved our speed, a few seconds would have carried us. None of us suffered serious damage. He emerged from tho enow with his forehead bleeding, but the Wound was su perficial. Jenni had a piece of flesh remov ed from Ms hand by collision against a stone. The pressure of the rope had left black welts on my arms, and we all experienced a ting ling sensation over the hands, like that pro duced by incipient frost bite, which 1 continu* ed for several days. 1 found a portion of my watch chain hanging round my neck, anoth er portion in my pooket—tho watch itself was gone. On the 10th of August Professor Tyndall made an expedition in quest of his watch, whichwas found after a rather perilous search. It had remained eighteen days in the aval anche, but tho application of its key at once restored it to life, and it has gone with unva rying regularity over since. The Indians and the Telegraph.— lt is a. noticeable fact, that in all of the Indian troubles in the Northwest, the telegraph fines have not been disturbed. When the line be tween Forts Kearney and Eamarie, which are SOO milos apart, was completed, the super intendent of the line made’ arrangements for two influential chiefs of the Sioux and Ara pahoe tribes to fadye a- talk over the wires, the Sioux being at Fort Enmarie, and the Araprohoo at Fort Kearney. After their talk, which, pleased them wonderfully, they started on horseback, and after riding two hundred and fifty miles each, met and com pared notes, and found their talk of a-week was all real and not illusion. Since then no telegraph wire or polo has been, harmod by Indian hands.—The Indians know the great the great power of this discovery, and as they think it has.;-something to da.with the Holy Spirit, they, dare not touch the lines; , This is a fortunate fact for the permanency of elegrapbic commpnioation in the Northwest. ’ Hv” The Bit'ral New York cr shows by fig ures that §lOO per acre can bo made by culti vating beets for sugar. - , O - In England this year there is a glut of the apple and poor crop. Tale of Lots, Abduction, Cowhiding, Marriage and a Make Up. [From Iho St. Louis Republican.] Saturday a remarkable cdso occurred in thin city—ono of the most interesting that has, perhaps, como before the public for a long while. Wo shall ondeaVdr to detail the facts as nearly correct da possible. (They show the erribf of relatives and friends for the down ward, oo'utso of a beautiful young ladv, who \vas lured from tho paths of rectitude, but who was reclaimed, it is hopqd, to & virtuous life by the prompt interposition of friends. About three o'clock ou. Saturday afternoon u Rreat crowd was collected on tho corner of Fifth street and Washington avenue, not less than two hundred people being gathered a • round two women and a young man, one of tho females being engaged in tho lively exor cise of administering sundry blows with a rawhide on the person of the young man a forosaid. The crowd, evidently sympathizing with tho woman, cried, “Give it to him I” “Hit him again 1” “That's it I” “Go in little one I" and other similar expressions of encouragement. The young man, thinking, doubtless, he had got into tho wrong crowd, started to run, tho woman after him, A po liceman coming up at tho moment, arrested tho,young man and tho- women all, and took them down to tho Central police, station, a bout half thb crowd following, and blocking up the : side-walk after the parties were in the police office. Here, than, tho- matter was to ; bo explained, nobody, therefore, knowing what was the pause, of grievance^ In the police office tho women seemed to be full of venom, and indulged in such ■fritupor ativo abuse of tho young ap pafantly, a “nice" young man, with excellent good clothes on—? that it was foPsome time impossible to arrive at the real merits of tho case.

Jones was demanded of,to tell where the girl was. lie prevaricated for a while, and final ly refused. . The chief then said, “search him tnd send him down.” Tho sum of $305 was discovered on him. Then, on suggestion, tho whole party Went in conference in tho chief's private office. Jones was appealed to marry the girl. Ho refused. Then Jones gave the number of the house whore she could bo found, and detoctiveßrownfield was despatch? ed alter her, returning in about half an’hour. She was furious, and accused her sister Jean nette of more and worse than oVcr she was guilty of. The moat animated discussions transpired, and feeblo blows were ac one time exchanged becfcween. tho belligerent females. It seemed to be impossible to adjust matters, and the peace makers present were almost in despair for the success of their desires, when it was suggested to send for tho father. Miss Foster volunteered to go for him, and with her cowhide.still in hand, sallied out, return ing in about fifteen minutes with tho old gen tleman-, The’old man was deeply grieved. Ho is a. hai’d working, honest mechanic, and is entirely innocent of any responsibility in tho failings of his daughter. Ho asked Jones to marry her, saying, “you have ruined her, and now marry her—if you never live with her I want you to marry heir,'* Others ap pealed to Jones on the same plea; and, on being told the girl would be sent to the House of Good Shepherd and ho to the calaboose, he finally concluded to do. so.
