It happened, however, one day the landlord was walking alongi Parliament-street when he met the Speaker, in.' j, State, going up with an addn>«s to the Throne and; looking narrowly at the el, i' personages, he was! astonished and confounded at roco'-msing the fea-j tures of the gentleman," his constant Customer.: He hurried home, and communicated the extraordin- ary intelligence to his wife and family, all of whom were disconcerted at the liberties TVliicli, at dirTerent times, tliey had taken, with so important a. pprso). In the evening Mr. Onsloir came as usual, with his holiday face and manners, and prepared to take hit seat, but found everything in a state of peculiar preparation, and the manners of the landlord and his wife changed fr.nn indifference and familiarity to form and obsequiousness. The children were mot allowed to climb upon him and pull his wig as here- tofore, and the servants were kept at a distance; He, however, took no noticeof tiie change,^bi^, find- ing that liis name and rank had by some means been discovered, he paid his- reckoning, civilly»^pk his departure, and never visited the house afterwards. THBASHIXIF A PRINCE.—One dnr, ay-»ung recruit was standing guard before, the door Hf the entrance to Peter the Great's private chambers in the Palace •ef Sa-. Petersburg. He had received orders to-admit no one. As lie was passing slowly lIP and down be. fore jhe dt>or, prince Mentchitoii, the favourite Minister of the Czar, approached, attempting to enter., lie; ites stopped by tbe recruit. The Prince, who Iaad the fullest liberty of calling upon his mas* ter at any time, sauglit to pusli the guard and pass; him, yet the young man would not move, but ordered his highness to stand back. You fool! shouted the prince, "don't you know me?" The recruit smiled, and said, "Very well your highness; but my orders are peremptory to let nobody pass." The prince, exasperated at the fellow's impudence, struck him a.. blow in the face with his ridiiig-wliia said tlis^salclier, "but I cannot let you in." Peter, in the roomi bearing the noise outside, opened the door and in* quired what it meant, and the prince told him. Tlie Czar wits amused, but said nothing at the time. In the evening, however, he sent for the prince and the 'soldier.! IAS they both appeared, Peter gave his own' caus to the soldier, sayitig, 'fmt,nivitt itruck you in the morning; now you mus t return the blow to tlw*t faliow with.my stick." Tlie prince wjw amazed. »• Your. Majestyi" he said," this oommoa soldier is to strike me?" "I make him a captain," said raster. "But I'm atl officef of yotit Majesty's house- hold," objected the prince. "I make him a colonel of the Life Guards .and an officer of my household," "id Peter again. rank, your Majesty-knows, is that of general," again protested Mentchikoff. "Then I make him a general, so that the beating you get jnay come from a man of your rank." The prince got a Ifound thrashing in the presence of the Czar. The recruit was next day commissioned a general, w!Ut the title of Count Oroinoff, and was the founded of a powerful family, wfiose descendant* are still high in the imperial service of Russia. JAPANIWB TOILETS.-In making her toilet for the day, the Japanese girl first puts on a garment made aauaUy of some coarse material, not very long, tand reaching only to the waist, but with long sleeves. On the neck of this garment is sewed a deep fold of scarlet or some bright-coloured crape or silk. A lotig, straight skitt .Of blue Q" red crape, silk or wool is tied around tliewaist; and over ail three of tliese is of some dark colour, and made of coarse spun silk or thick crape. For festivals and holidays the dresses i are of very fine material and very handsome. The outer dress is simply a wrapper reaching to the feet, f, with, very long and wide sleeves hanging ijeurly to tbe ground, and used as pockets. On each shoulder a deep tuck is made which extends to the waist, thus making a little fulness tor the skirt. But the dress has no gatliers, aud is straight all the way down. The neck is adorned with a wide pwce, of black vel- vet or satin, which reaches nearly to the waist, and the dress is crossed over the IKJSOJH and confined by j a girdle. Over this is worn a very wide sash, a piece f of. brocaded silk or satin, stiff with embroidery in cold or silver,, lined with soft silk and fastened be- bind with a large bow. When tliese are all on, but barefooted, or if in cold weather in white mitten socks, made to reach only to the Mikle, and with a place iri which to put1 the great toe (just as mittens have a place for the thumb), she goes out to say Ohaio," or good morning to her father and rno- ther.
