The last Paris scandal is ths flight of SiH Richard Hennessy, the wife of the senior partner in the great cognac firm, with a horsebreaker named Earle. As aha has a fortune of about ten thousand a year, the horsebreaker doubtless thinks that he has done as good a stroke of business as the footman who ran away with Mrs Young some year, ago; but Mrs Hennessy cannot be divorced, and cannot marry him. The position of her children by her marriage with Mr. Hennessy is all the more pitiable, because the husband, who is in a great measure responsible for the unhappy occurrence, has for some time past past been the cavalier servant of the Hon. Mrs , and has abandoned his home for her sake. A London organ-grinder recently escaped a fine by a very ingenious excuse. He had. been playing before the house of an irascibleold gentleman, who furiously and with wild l gesticulations ordered him away. The man ground on, and was arrested for his disturbance. At the trial, the Judge asked him why he did not leave when requeited. " No speak Inglese,” was the reply. “ Well," said the Judge, “ you must have understood his gestures, Iris motions." “I thinkee he come to dance," was the rejoinder. The judge laughed heartily, and let the man go.
