A Minnesota woman stood by and saw a fight between her husband and a wild cat, and when the man whipped she acknowledged that she was a little disappointed, having bet on the cat. The Musee Europeen (or collection of copies of pictures executed by the great artists of all countries, and chiefly of the old masters), which has just been opened in Paris, contains 119 paintings, classed in seven different rooms, in one of which are classed the six large copies of Raphael's frescoes, which were formerly at the Pantheon. P. W. Wood exhibits his pecular humor in a new work, “Reading the Show-biJs,” A rustic stands before the marvellous poster which adorns his barn as intent on the wonderful gymnastic efforts of the lions and tigers as the boy who starts forward with delight on one side and the little girl on the other, who, with unmotherly negligence, has lefjt hey doll to lie face downward in the dirt.
