EXTRAORDINARY STORY,
A romantic story comes from Kalocsa, the seat of Cardinal L. de Haynald, Primate of Hungary. A short time ago a young student applied for admission as pupil to the priests' seminary, aud, being duly provided with examiDatiou certificates, was at once received. The new pupil led exactly the same life as the other iu mates of the establishment, and showed a marked disposition to study. A few days ago Cardinal Hayuald visited the seminary, and in the garden met the new comer, who bowed respectfully ; but, contrary to custom, did not kiss the Cardinal's haud. His Eminence net only noticed the omission, but it led him to examine the candidate-priest somewhat closer. The effeminate face of the young student turned scarlet under the Cardinal's scrutiuising gaze, whereupon the prelate uttered a few words in a low tone that caused the former to turn quickly to the house. Five minutes afterwards this mysterious personage had left the premises, and has not since gone back. Rumour Bays the individual was a lady, who felt an. irresistible desire to become a priest. Some of the Hungarian papers even give her name.
An English lady has left £10,000 to be devoted to photographing the stars, planets, and nebulro. The cultivation of pineapples is rapidly extending in Southern Florida. One grower will have 10,000 pines to ship this season.
