Either the innmber of miien engaged in the bnsiness,, we irnag tile, must be dver-estimated, or the number of fish caught under-estimated. It requires two men to momna boat, which would give 800 boats for 600 men : 2,000 fish a 7day would give to each man a fraction over three as his share. We presurpe few are fishing who do not catch a good many more than that number.-. We saw a boat - load, the prodict ofthe previous; night, conisting of 66 salmon, weighed yes te:day imorning.

Kendall relates the following curius incident: "III my accouint of the grand ball giv. en by the legislative body to the cmperer and empress, written last week. I omitted one interestinn event which then and there transpired. Late in the night, and in the midst of the dancing, a beautiful aid dashine woman was quietly arrested and walked ofl to the lock-up, causing not a little excitement, as may well bc supposed. It was given out at th< time that the lady was sufiering un der a mental alienation, but the true history of the aflitir has since leak. ed out, and is not without interest. It seems that the woman in question young and exceedingly pretty, haN been figuring extensively the past sea. son as a barones, arid tht t accmiipaiied to'the biail Q by'4 Agen tlenian of high distinction, and one well known in fashionabl circles. For several hours she wam remarked for her grace and beai ty, dancing several quadrilles ir finitless style, but after supper she entered into the spirit ofa R1edown with rather more admlon than is recogniz ed'as seemly or belitting in haute so cictie. Another quadrille came, wher her style was even more highfialutir -it would have been admired at the Jardin Mobile. Grande Chanmiiere or or Chauteau Rouge, but there was a little too much of the cancan about it for the latitutde of the Tuileries. Hei conversation, toi, became a littk boisterous, and many of her expres siOls, hOwever they would hav< soulnded in the Quartier Breda o1 Notre Dame de Lorette, seemed rat her out, ot place in the severe and classic menridian of the Patbourg St (ermain. Tle ladies immuiediate ly near her were shocked, the gen tlemien stared at her in astonishment and finally the baroness Iecame s< hilarious in her speech and so cX travagaItnt in her action, that it was deened prudent to rid the ball-roomn o her presence. To smooth the mat ter over, it was given ont that she was sulfering under a mental alienation and that she was subject to suel fits, but the real truth was that sh< had beeni i mb ibi ng altogether te< ireyof' cinlzpagne at the spleni ddsul~per, and that, thle wine brough her' ''lt in her true charaefe'r. lie ease wa.s duly investigated by th< lynx-ceyed and inedefatigale police wheLn it, was ascertained that she was the wif'e of' a ferrier liv'iig near Paris and that in order to cenable hec to cairry out her' aIssonied title o a bartloness, she has been til for som time past leading a umost disreputa ble life."
