Pasquier, who..was Prefect of .Police du ring thd Empire under, the First Napoleon, af terhisrctirepientwaa fujjl of anecdotes respec ting confideiicemec, whose artifices duped per: sons apparently less artful .than themselves.— The following, says The Philadelphia Press, is onelof his anecdotes:- j A magnificent carpinge drove up one fifty hi tlie.dqor.of a rich jeweler in Purm; and a.Well looking, important, and not overdressed gentle mun.alighted from' it. He said that he won ted a complete, wedding pantre, consisting of a’hv dy’e.set of diamond ornamentals, the price tim-, hedfo. 200,000 frances, equal to 40,000. From several designs, which he examined with the evidently practised eye of' a connoisseur, he se lected one,, which he desired might be executed Within fivp day’s, and insisted on leaving four thousand francos with the jeweller as a, depos its . He also selected a ring, worth 120 finances' which he begged might he sent, to him the next day, giving his address. Prince Gurgarin, Hotel Hollanae, Rue-de In Paix, which was a more fashionable house in 1806,fhpn it .is in 1802. The jeweller’s messenger called-at, the np-, pointed.timc, and was shown into an apartment in the,seeontj, story. There were five or six livened lackies in .the ante-chamber, ode of whom escorted him to the Prince, who received and examined, the ring, paid forit, and present ed ten frances to the messenger, who returned home, joyfully congratulating the jeweller on having so jveallhy and liberal a customer. . On the fifth day, as agreed, the jeweller car ' ried home the.diamonds, and found the Prince in his study, sitting before his cylindrical sec retaire. His Highness,minutely inspected the jewels with a glass, and suddenly one of the valets announced “Prince Colgorouki.” “Ah! roy brother-in-law.”, exclaimed his Highness.— “I dn not wish him to see the present witli which I intend surprising his sister. Request -him to stay in the drawing-room, and I will immediatclyjoin him.” Touching-the table, the cylinder jnoved and tlie secretaire closed. The diamonds were within it-s-diut-on.thertable was-an open box, filled with plump leather bags, and numerous rouloaxof louis were huddled together qnnfuH. edly. On his arrival, the jeweller had noticed all this treasure, and especially a large Russia leather pbrifulio, well lined vyith bank-notes, {be rough Cdges-of which were visible. i-The Pripco.-quiUed the room, saying that he would immediately return. The polite jeweller begged bird not to hurry himself. Twenty min utes elapsed, which seemed like three hours to the jeweller, over, whom a -va»e apprehension crept. The door opened—Oh ! hero is his High ness, he thought. No. It was the fbaster of the hotel, who asked if he was; waiting for any one? “For the return of.Pnince Gargnrin,” . the jeweller answered. “I have just Sold him a set of diamonds.fur 200,000 francs. Are yon' his secretary ?!' The maiire d'hotel shook his head sadly, *T am bis dupe, and so are you, 1 suppose.” ’ “Impossible. The diamonds ore shut up'in that secretaire. Besides, look at all this money.” -, ; Alas,.the leathern bag, which be seized was filled With pails. The rouleaux were of wood.’ The Russian leather portfolio contained scraps of Waste paper. However, there was one con solation —the diamonds. were safe. A lock smith was sent for —the secretaire opened and —tmgty t' < It stood fiush up against a wall, in 1 which d' hole had been made, and there being a ; corresponding hole in the hnckoif Hie secretary, the jewelsbeen’ removed info the next room. The master of the hotel- had been swindled. All the servants was his except the valet He chd bfSfc/who "was “the Prince.” • They* -hrid decamped, without , the least susplcldn, dt the dodKof the hotel.— Allefforts, tq drooler theqi.,were j ’ The poor jeweller, nearly ruinedhy this foh jbfry,' pdij, l-e'niove his, much dimimshed huaines's to nnotlper paift- pf.Krfs,' name was sunk in that of his partne^,, ; years after; ho-reeeived- a-mnasage tu Mumdeu bjicjuMitidiidp, whb desired to’pnrctiasS suKo *ings..

APRIL 30, 1861 were painted /mbjectotreated with admirable skill, in the indelicate style peculiar to the age of Lmii« jjty. . , . Without any hesitation, the jeweller rained the box at 60,000 francs, which was (finch mure than M.,Ternji expected. The jeweller, on the other bund,, said it was probably worth even more, and. made this proposal: “Take the tings -you have chosey, and put the box in an envelope, stating it to, bo ,niy property ; if'it does not bring, more than 50,000 francs, you sTtftll have the rings for nothing.” ; (Stratified at the idea of being able .to obtain without opening his purse/Mr. Teron assented. Two of his neighbors, one of them a notary, were sent for, and the invalid asked, “Who shall fix tbe price of the box V “Yob, sir,”- said the jeweller, “I will lay a wager that you wilF value if at 500,000 francs. Let me tell yon, in private, a circumstance connec ted with this box, which will enable you to per ceive its real value." M. Teron, curious and anxious enough now, gave bis consent, and the two referees retired. Then the jeweller said, "Sixteen years ago lhat snuff-box.wasstolen from me, when I--traded on the Boulevard des Italians—a few days be fore I was ronbed of 200,000 francs worth of diamonds; by yourself under the nainepf Prince Gargarin. My evidence relative to the loss of the bo*, is on the record of the police. You now declare the box to be yours. I have al ready sworn that I purchased it at a public sale. The man who sold it to me is still alive, f know a secret about the box, which will for ther.prove my ownership—-a secret which you have .not discovered. Unless you fully repair sill the.wrongs ymi .have dohe'me,'! shall at once have you. arrested as a thief, I give you five minutes to determine.” Within the tinie,'thus'driven into a'corner, M, Teron, who realty was an invalid, handed his keys to the jeweller, and bade him open a drawer, in which he would find 300,000 francs in bitleis de bajique, and signed a cheque for 200,000 francs more, payable at, his banker’s that same day. This done, the witnesses were recalled. “Gentlemen,” said the jeweller, exhibiting hank notes and cheek, ’“you see lhat M. Teron has become aware of thewnlue of the box. lie has- purchased it back from me for five hundred thousand francs. Is it not so?” “Yes,” sighed M. Teron, “I have given him that sum.” “Then,” said the jeweler, “here is the box, and I wilNetyou have the rings in the bargain.— You may explain the mystery as you please ; for my part, 1 promise eternal secresy.” , The jeweler retired, leaving the witnesses in amazement, and M. Teron in dismay. The no tary was unable to keep silent, and ,tho police eventually unravelled the mystery, though the jeweller faithfully observed his promise of se ere<y. M. Teron, who, was so immensely rich as to leave three million francs to his heirs, never recovered from,the mortification of hav ing been detected and compelled to refund with compound interest. Why Washington Irving Never Married. Much mastery hits attached to the celibacy of Washington Irving. Mobile-- upon* every other point or peculiarity of the great. writer's character and careerbjs familiar friends have taken pains to inform the wide circle of his ad mirers, an aggravating reticence bus always met the questiuningsof those who were curious as to why matrimony made no part of bis ex perience. 'There were occasional pnei very vague references made to a “ lung syne" love —So dimly distant in the past as to, have the air of tradition—and the manner of mention ing which made Irving appear; the model of constancy, if not the hero of a romance,. But the circumstance of his bachelurl o.id remained a simple, patent, unexplained factthe tli"ine of : many Wanderings,-the warp and woof of much imagining—may more, .the. substructure of. a thousand sweet sympathies outgushing from other hearts whose loves bad no.t been lost, but gone-before. It is doubtful if a secret df the sort —all things considered—was ever before.so carefully and completely kept. For once the impertinent were held at liny, the pry ing were balked, and the symjathotic, even discouraged; The set time fur .its disclosure bad not come, and surely, when his inmptes and relatives were debarred from the remotest reference to the subject ;in the hallowed home circle of; the literary bachelor, it was' but prop er that the truth.sbould burst forth upon the world, if at all, in Irving’s own- selected time and his own pathetic language. - ~ It waa while engaged; in writing his Ilis -1 tory of Now York/’ that Irving, then-a young ’man:of twehtyrsix, was ,called'to •mourn the somewhat sudden death of - Matilda Huffman, whom die-had honed to calf'll is wife. This This young lady.,was the second .daughter-of JosiahiOfiden.Hnffman.and the sister of those two-talented men, -Charles Fenno Hoffman, tbs i poet, and Ogdert Unffmatvtha eloquent joritU.

' ‘ 2 .-! = r There js a .pathos about Irving’s recital of tbeeircdmstanoes.of; ber deatb und of hi* own feelings, that is truly painful,and tear-impelling.

For years I could not talk on the subject of this hopeless regret; I could not even mention her name-p but her im age was continually before me, and I dreamt of her incessant! v.” Such was the language in which Irving poured forth his sorrows and sad memories, in a letter written many years ago to a lady who wondered at his celibacy and expressed the wish-to know why .he never married. Cun. words mots graphically describe the shipwreck of a faithfull. foyer f How sweetly, too, does Irving portray With his'artist-pen the linea -1 merits of his loved one I Tic says, in'the same letter, “ The more I saw of. her/theinoie Iliad reason to admire, her. Ilor mind seemed to unfold itself leaf-by leaf, and every time to discover new,swectness. Nobody knew h»r.so well as I, for’ she was generally timid and si ieiiT ; hull, in a manner, studied her excel lence; Never did ! meet with more intuitive rectitude, more native delicacy, more exquisite propriety in word, thought and action, than in this young creature. lam not exaggerating; what I say was acknowledged by all that knew her. Her briliant little sister used to say'that people began by admiring her, but ended by loving MillHdai For my part I; idolized her. I felt at times rebuked by, her superior delicacy and purity, and as if I was a eoarsa, unworthy being in comparison." Trving seldom or never nHuded to this sad event, nor was the name of Matilda ever spo ken in his-presence... Thirty, years after her death,-Irving was visiting Mr. Hoffman, and a grand-daughter, in drawing out some sheotaof music to be pel formed upon the piano, acciilcn dentilfy brought with them a'piece iff em broi lery which dropped upon the fliair. “ W.isli iagtoTi, * said Mr. Hoffman, •• (his is a piece of poor M itv-da’a workmanship.” llis biographer d-scribes lbe effect as electric. ** lie had been conversing in the sprightliost mood before,” says v Pierre, >l.Hrving, “ and he stink at once into otter silence, imd in a few moments gut up and left tl e house.” Do any of the pages that f-ecord "the “loves of poets” glisten with u purer, brighterhalo than is thrown around the name and character and fnVniory of Matil da Hoffman by the life-long constancy and the graceful tributes of one whose name, destined to a dca<hle§s renown, may. not henceforth be dissevered from that.of the curly lost and dear ly loved, whose death made Washington Ir ving what he was and what the world admires? —Bbsfon Fast.

His knapsack was brought to him, and ns; he took it Ins eye gleamed with pleasure and b« face was covered all over with a smile, as he brought out from it his hidden treasures. “There, ’ said he, “that is a Bible from my tiinther.

All this is certainly very absurd. But.when, in this singular legend, yon recognize the. impression that the middle age had formed of the Jewish people, always in motion, always chitsed from country to coun try, everywhere prostrated under the maledic tion which it anciently invoked upon itself, and yet at the same time indestructible, resisting all evils, gaining money even in places whore no one else would have known how to find A penny, always miserable, and yet always know i ing how to extricate itself from its troubles— do we not recognize in this legend matter for reflection, anjl see how wisdom is often' found in the mouths of children ? That the above view is the real sense of the legend of the wandering Jew, is shown by the very different form under which ifappears in the Easl. There the Jew is not a “Wanderer,” he. is “undying,” and hence, doubtless, his Ger man-appellation, Jen eupge Jude. lie struck Jesua when be was goinjg forth from Pilate's place, and said to him, ‘Go on Jesus, on mure qoiekjy, \rhat delays you?” Whereupon the Savior replied, “I go, but you shall wait until my return.” In consequence.-he could not .die; and every time that be \yaa on the jioint of fill ing beneath tile weight of old age," new vigor seemed to reanimate bis Jimba, and restore hint, to the age of thirty, which was bis ageipt the time of crucifixion. ,He in Armenia, where he lived an life, in the ; hopes of obtaining his pardon. Vfe hero see clearly that in the East, where the people of Israel have lung been dispersed and tolerated, the imaging atWnhas not been struck! as in the West by its unchangeable identity, apiid all religious and political revolutions, that the Eastern legend expresses. That the Jewish people cannot die; is a truth which all nations have diserned.— But if it survives abased in its remorse in the East, it is= constantly wandering in the West. It is evident that in both forms it is the histor ic destiny of this people that has served as the' basis of the legend., Forltbis reason we can not accept the more modern interpretations which those have given ij-ho have wished to regard the legand as the personification of anti- ‘ Christian doubt, always ujiquiet, and never ai ming at repose —-Le Lion Taming a,“Secesh’' Sni^Etr. —It is npjaling to think bow the milk of human kindness has curdled in thc lieart of Southern females.
