“The Due de Montpensier,” says the XlXme Siecle, “has just purchased the Chateau of Grandval, at Cannes, with all its dependencies. This mansion, admirably situated, contains furniture worth 125,000 francs. M. Grandval, in his lifetime, bad refused 1,600,000 francs for this fine domain, but his heirs have ceded it for 650,000 francs.” A contract with Mr Winchester for 200,000 Martini-Henri rifles at 62s each has been signed at the Seraskierate. It is, however, believed in certain quarters that the MartiniHenri rifle will be abandoned by the Government before the execution of toe contract is commenced. The new Grand Vizier is said to be in favour of a repeating rifle, which some military authorities believe to be “ the arm of the. future.” “ Go to bed, sir, in the closet there !” said an enraged father to his son, who had given him Just cause of offence. “ Were it not that these gentlemen are present, I would give yon a sound whipping; but you shall have it before breakfast to-morrow.” The little culprit went to bed with a beating heart, and the enjoyments of the party were continued to a late hour. Just when the party was about to break up, the closet door was pushed gently open, and the little offender thrust out his curly head, and, with a face glistening with recent tears, desired that the sentence might be put in immediate execution—“ Father would you just gie me my licks the noo, for I canna sleep without them.”
