'■One of the people of the Court discovered it
hidden in the paillasse of the bed in which my

"A general movement of interest showed itself
in the saloon, of Madame de Hacq.i-.ville. The
President de Page paused. The recital evidently
pained him, hut he continued :
"Fraucoise, the fresh cheeked peasant' of Mon-
treau—she who had trudged wearily through
frost and snow to come aud throw herself upon
my neck and upon the steps of the Sorboune—
Francoise, whose sk.n was soft as velvet and her
eyes so tender and loving.
The Marquis took a pinsh of snuff, but I saw
the snuff fall upon the floor.
"They dragged her before the judges. I wished
to excuse myself, but they forced me to preside.
They pretended ironically to repose the highest
confidence in my natural impartiality. My eue-
mie. rejoiced- and the populace threatened to
Btone me when it was kuji-vn that I had ordered—
Here M. de Page was silent. You could hear
nothing but tbe crackling of the fire, and the os-
cillatioiio of the pendulum. The pictures ou the
wall were noiser than the company at that mo:
ment.
M. de Page resamed : "That _. bad ordered the
rack.' For Fraucoise firmly denied everything:
tbe theft, the circumstances of the theft, ah—constantly reminding me ol Moutreau, other mother,
oftlie days of our childhood, and of our relationship. I had ordered the question.' Th*

ftirl biT3.ught naked before her judges. God spare

applied. Her eyes grew weaker. But Fraacoise
turned hoi' eyes upon mo. Gentlemen.. I have had
a sword ttiurst through my body to the hilt. That
look stabbed more keenly. They put her kaee iu
the leaden boot.    Her cries grew weaker.'
At this part of the recital  of the President a
thrill oi horror ran through-tbe gueetB.
"They put the fire to the  pit of her stomach.
Francoise was silent ; she  had ceased to shriek.
Gentlemen, Fraucoise, was innocent!    1 know it.
It was I who had hidden the diamond box in her
bed, in older that she might be tried, condemned
aud executed.
The ladies covered their faces.   If I had had a
life in my baud I would bave stuck  it in the
d  Presdent'e heart.    But the President closed'
£■ eyes, coliecled himself for a moment and .snid :
■'They crushed her right Band,  every  finger,
every joint, iike tha—
He made a gesture. My nerves jerked spasmodically in imitation of it. A cloud of blood passed
before my eyes, and the terrible scene Yauishcd.
'•Fraucoise bad fainted in confessing the theft.
Yes. she had confessed it, but proclaiming that I
was her foster brother, that she had come to Paris
to see me ;- that to see me she had braved ice and
snow—braved everything—to hang once more
upon her ioster brother's neck
The President had hardly finished tiiis agoniz'
ing sentence, when I saw rise beside Madame de
Haequeville, like a phantom, a woman, who, with
difficulty aud pain, drawing off her glove, permitted to be seen a band broken and crushed, which
she placed upon the head of\_L de Page.
Like one crushed, the old man raised his eyes
terror beneath that hand which weighed him
down. The eld people were pale; 1 looked at
myself in the glass j I was more than pale—I was
green. Tears and sobs from tbe eyes and mouths
of these two, ruined by each other, mingling together ; and M. de Page took that hand, and car
rying it to his lips, kissed it as the dying man
kisses the Host, aud hf was pardoned as thedying
man is pardoned. For Madame Oasr. Btauea pass-

on the Pennsylvania Central road across tbe Alle-

It is remarkably t.asy. The Indian trail is a
well worn road, and is perfectly practicable for

elevation oi 6_£5(J (eet above, the sea. which will
probably, iu a discussion of observations, be reduced to less than (.000 feet.
The country is so level that in March a journey
was made from Fort Beutou to Cantonment Elevens with a wagon, 290 miles, in twelve day's. The
inclination is . o gradual tbat the wheels were uot
locked in the descent.
We now proceed to quote a comparative view
of several routes:

It ia well known to all who have any  thing to

'•That evening,'' again continued the President,
''there was a court (.all. I appeared at it still
clothed in mv judicial robes, ai'd bearing with me
the death warrant of Fraucoise. Bending my
knee to the earth, I said to King Louis XVI:
"Stre, to-day the bones of my foster sister have
been broken on the rack, I was her accuser, sire,
and she has confessed all,"
"Well!" said the King..
"Sire, T invented the story of that theft." ■
The King recoiled with horror.
■'And wherefore, Monsieur?"
'■Because I wished to prove to France that with
the torture the most frightful falsehood was be
lieved—the holiest .ruin assassinated. Sire, to
this proof I have sacrificed the thing dearest to
me in the world. My opinio!.; tiiei'efore, cannot
be doubted."
"Messieurs," said the King, "let the ball con
tinue." Then turning to his Chancellor: "Menem-, from this night the torture is abolished in
France.'' Eet'it be made kuowu throughout the

If, in 1856, the country put nearly 3600 miles in
operation, there need be,no hesitancy in regard to
our ability to construct during tbe next two or
three years 1000 miles, even though it be through
an unsettled country, a portion of the way, especially when moro than half of the distance is as
easy of construction as roads in Illinois'and Wisconsin! We learn from' the authority we have
quoted, tbat the route from St. Paul is already under construction. A en in pa ny is chartered and in
operation, aided by land grants, to construet a
road from St. Paul to tbe junction of the Bois dc
Sioux with ihe Red River ofthe North, a distance
toward the Pacific of 237 miles, leaving less than
1600 miles to be provided for.
College Anecdote.—It was the custom at the
College, where a certain gentleman attended, tor
the Professor to put to the class miscellaneous
questions, which tbey were expected to answer oil
hand. On one of these occasions the Professor
turned to this geutleman and asked bim the following :
"To which, sir, does the united voice of all an
tiquity ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose V
The student rose with the utmost; gravity, and
turning to the large crowd assembled, said :
'•Gentlemen, the learned Prolessor asks tu.
"To which does the uuited voice of all antiqtiiiy
ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose ?" I would
say in answer to the question, to wbich the united
voice of all antiquity ascribes the seniority, that
I have not the remotest idea to which it does ascribe the seniority, and furthermore that I don't
care a d—n."
The student took bis seat, amid, not the laughter, but wild demoniacal shrieks of the class. Even
tie sober Profes-or could not restrain hiii-sell.
But discipline must be en lorced, and our hero was
summonsii to appear beloro the President. As he
was not unused to summons of that nature be
sauntered leisurely down to the executive mansion aud confronted the head of the faculty. This
awful personage charged him wilh the crime ol
usiny prolanc language in the class, and asked
him what he ha l to say for himself. The student
made a long speech iu exculpation, the groundwork of which was—that from his earliest y,ears
he had possessed a great love for the truth, which
compelled bim to speak it on all occasions. That
when asked the question, to which the united
voice of antiquity ascribes the seniority, peotry or
prose ? lie felt that he didn't know or care a d—u,
aud such was bis regard for the truth, lhat he bud
to say it right out.
The President did uot expel him, but I don't
think it wot.ld have made much difference, as he
afterwards sold his diploma for seven consecutive
cocktails.
