CLAIMING A DOE ELL VOTE. A si-.Kious event has created quite a sth among the inh bitants of a town in tiif centre of France. This town possesses a phenomenon, viz., a man with two heads, lean" arms, and ivro legs, who is wi Kiiov.tl to the frequenters ol t ilr.gerbread Lair. L at .pears that tills p!i n >:u<■moi. who hoids very decided opinions in politics, has re crntly applied for Iwo voting tickets inslcao of one, claiming, not without reason, that he has a right to vote twice, since he hat two heads and four arms ! 'I he request d this person or persons E) lias not as yet been granted, and the lw;o licads are in c state of excitement impossible to describe. It is to be hoped that both heads will always rhare the same opinions, A SIGNIFICANT CIRCUMSTANCE. Whfn Garrick was beginning His career, bs great rival was Quin. Garrick was J„i..)U and natural: Quin was formal and pompons. L was evident that the deathJt ,uv;;!-.* be:"ten the old and the new school w ; .s a Ran to begin. At last it was decided th„i thev should appeal definitely to the public. The " Lair Lcnitcnl" was chosen. rick performed Lothario and Quin llor-uio. I lie first act took up a full hour, lor the house was Imi of the advocates ol boil, schools, and both were loud in their plaudits. At last a trivial and ridiculous, but, as all must b.o. v tell, a significant circumstance gave (i.arncu the \ictoi\. In tbe last scene of the second act, Lothario challenges Murat ir—" Two hours ere noon to-moirow ! expect thee. Qum, witn bts usu 1 pom pons stateliness, paused so long bi-lere *he gave an answer that some simple Ic’d nv in the gallery, really excited by the p.milieu cried i ut, " Eonlotiud you, you a.w:ml.‘ why don’t you tell the little gentlenan whether you’ll meet him or no ? GULLEY MEN L\ RESTAURANTS “I it.vt t- a greedy man,” said a waitress in aii tat.rani in the Strand recently, "and I a!way., hven him waiting as long as I can }.„• i;i:f-, : o I would not be in a hurry to n.’- 'j him with meat either, if I could tell in r.ihance that ,u ' was gluttonous. I have tc v, tNi liiir, a v.nile to ascertain that, how rwer. When 1 r -ce a man beginning to cat ].; s i, : vad before the rest of his order is filled ] suspect him, and if, in addition, be devours a portion ol bis meat without taking salt oi mm-tard, or even putting bis potatoes or. Ins plate, I set him down at once as a Hutton. fie probably likes potatoes, am; w. pre'er some seasoning with his bee' or r,union, but be cannot restrain his appe t n- when re sees the meat before him. _ The v,’no leaves Ins bread alone until his du;ner is served, and, perhaps, taaes a httL p gato first, is usually a moderate and gentle n ;■ n!y cater, and if 1 am waiting upon him be wi'll always get his pic, if he orders any , ps spiv; as [ can give it to him. He enjoys IPs uii r.t r much more than the greedy man, because ho prepares everything necessary cm his plate before he begins to eat." ■ -| he gluttonous man is always in a feyet r' ir.certaintv as to what he wants. Ihe bn! of jars is like a Chinese puzzle to him, nad you can see that he rogiets his order the moment he has given it. He is not a a profitable customer, for, while he eats a n great deal, he chooses the cheapest dishes. He rarely orders tea or coffee, because the p ; r.i "those luxuries may bo spent in vrpiething more substantial, Ho eyes all th- dinners that are served ut his table, and ii i ncuted by a convinction that every* r, ,| v Pas secured, a larger, bettor, and rhevcor meal titan his own. When he got; b; : ? bin lig looks as if ho was reading 1m !. i.h warrant, for he is always stingy Ib.nMiv, too, ho Is thin, because he bolts I,:-iwlib-? a greyhound, and it does no) te.-m to do him much good."
