THE EXPERT SWIMMER.

A Tale of St. Malo,

KkpIUNTEd from " Tit Bits," in which it gained a guinea prize as. the beat story of the week :— As soon as the summer is nearly over, the fashionable world of Paris, like the fashion able world of London, takes flight to the country and the watering-places, and "everybody" is then said to be "out o( town." A great resort of the beau wonde is St. Malo, in Brittany, a picturesque seaport, which Chateaubriandlhas immortalised. A few summers ago, the weather being reiniukably lino, it was more thronged than usual. Anyone who had been a frequenter of the salons in ihe Chaussee d 1 Autin during the preceding winter, would have met old familiar faces at every stop he took. All Paria was at Mulo. "When we say all Paris, of course wo include the elegants of Paris— those superb gentlemen, so well known on the Champa de Mars, and at the billiard tabU-s of tue Jockey Club, who live so gaily fora short time, no onu knows how, astonish ing all Paris by tueibrilliancy of their boots, the whiteness of their linen, and the grandeur of tlieir air, and disappearing by-and-by ao one knows where. At Malo, at the period wo mention, thoro was one of theso- distinguished individuals, whom everybody knew, though everybody was surprised to see him there._ The fact •was, that it was universally believed that, during the proceeding summer, he had made a Tory clean finish of a fine property at the Cafe do Paris, at the Opera, and oa the racecourse at Chantilly, and was now in training for the Morgue in some very gloomy garret, What was the surprise of the visitors at St. Malo when ho made his appearance on the promenade us freeh, as gay, as gloriouidy foppish as ever ; white gloves, exquisite boots, glossy niouHtuchi;— nothing in his Whole personnel betokened aught but pros perity an<i waaltti! He played as deeply at the Casino as ever he hud done at the Jockey Club, and displayed tho same How of animul spirits, and the same disposition to mak<> jokes and say smart things that made him '• such a nice young man and so witty " amonast the young ladies. Every one began to wonder how bo had repaired his fortune*, and his sudden resurrection was added, without hesitation, to the al ready numerous wonders of the world. The mystery was, however, very soon explained. Twopcr'onagesof roughoxtcrior made their appearance one niornint; at hia hotel, and inquired for him. Upon receiving a description of them from the ■waiter, he arosn and bolted straightway throuun the bauk door, and fetching a compass, came round in front, and flew rather than ran towards the bench. The twostianjv rs—let us acknowledge it at once, the two ballill's—gave chase with tremen dous ardour. The whole of the fashionables were our, taking their moraine: walk, and were hugely delighted at the spectacle. Here was a fair prospect for an exciting scone— a full-blown comedy. Tiio iirH act was begun ; the denouement V7aa coming. All rushed towards the hapless wight, expecting to see him sur render at discretion as soon as he reached the water. Not ho ;as he ran, he began to divest himself of his outer garments and ere ho arrived at low water-mark, his coitume — proh pudor! —consisted of a pair of bathing drawers, " pure and simple," as hie countrymen would say. Without longer delay than was necessary to slip off bis boots, bo plunged into the foaming tide, and struck out boldly toward* the illimit able perspective The ■'first circles," all of which were now assembled on tho scene of action, were still more delighted. This was the first touch of tho emotional that many of their members had met with for somo time, notwithstanding a diligent look-out for months previously in varioui parts of Europe. None, however, were more delighted tban the bailiffs. They found tlietnsclvas suddenly elevated into " lions,'1 tha observed of all observers ; and they felt sure of th«ir prey, for, of coarse, he wohM have to eon-e ashore very speedily. They thought they needed but to wait a few minute?, or but half an hour at most. But they were too confident. Human affairs are necessarily uncertain! Two hours ro'led over without the lively Paris ian's giving tho slightest evidence of aoy intention to return to his native ahore. He was evidently in his glory, thoußh not in his elemont. * The fondest wish of a Frenob man's heart wu being gratified- the po« ---session of a fine opportunity for showing off his accomplishments to an admiring crowd, . He was a capital swimmer, and being now put upon bis mettle in more senßes than one, ho floated, he dived, he walked, he swam on his b»ck, swam with one leg in the air, swam on one side, in short, did everything that man could do in water, and still showed no signs of wearinesi. The bailiff*, instead of being discouraged by these evolutions, only became more anxious for his capture. Thin, however, sotmed nearly as far away as over. Ho wa» nearly three honM in the water, and was still gambolling like a porpoise or dolphin of lively di-position. Snddenlyho turned bis head from the ■hore, and swam rapidly towards the open sea. The public functionaries who were awaiting hia return thought this a last at tempt t'> deceive them, and were chnckling at the thought of how quickly he wonld be undeceived. But thoy began to be alarmed when th«y found that ho was rapidly disappearing, and was already a mere speck on the blue expanse of waters ; and at last.they^came to the conclusion that he was about to end liis career, and bntilo his creditors, by drowning himself, tbns killing two birds with one stone. Suddenly be was seen to hail a fishing lugger, and a moment after wards his while back glittered in the sun light, as he ascended its side. The boat then made sail towards the oiling, and was goon lent eight of. Nothing more was heard of the swimmer for three weeks. Be was talked of, to be aare; bnt before that time had elapsed somo more exciting topic had arisen, and he was forgotten. One day, however, the English steamer came alongside the quay of St. Malo, and a family, apparently of dis tinction, if a huge pile of luggaao and a great tetmno of servants prove it, disem barked ; and what was the astonishment of the inhabitants to see the" Parisian ex quisite at tho head of it, with a charming English girl loaning on his arm, her father and mother following in tho rear, and ho Illume! f looking as smiling, as elegant, and gorgeously arrayed as over, All whs soon explained. He had, by large promises, induced the fishermen to convoy him [to Jersey, and once there his addrei'o tiiii all the rest, Hi? charming air, tho air of romance and mystery he threw fibout his position, curried the shop keopeu by storm. Tbcy hastened to rig him nut fmm top to toe, in the extreme or 4he mode, in the fall belief that they were gaining a place in tho memory of a frolicsome coun* of high rank, and that Ms arrival in a stranee country, in swimming drawer.') and a fisherman's jacketi was "a way he had,"

Once oqnipped, he sallied forth, and was soon the lion of St. Heller's. Everybody was on tiptoe to invite him to their houae. He was flittered, feted, and caressed. He made tho acquaintance of a wealthy mer chant than residing there with his family. He soon became a constant visitor at the house, and having, by his pleasing appear ance and fascinating manners, secured the affection of one of the daughters, became possessor of her hand, and with it an enormous fortune. He returned to St. Malo in the manner we have described. Inquiries made about him by Mr P., in Paris, were satisfactorily an swered by well-wishing friends, and were amply sufficient to satisfy any slight doubts that he might have ; tor with all an Knglish man's lov» for alliance with idle aristocracy, the father, as well as the daughter, was captivated by the Frenchman's brilliant exterior, easy manners, lofty pretensions, and evident familiarity with good society. The fortune restored the Parisian to his old position in society. He paid his debts at St. Malo, and the next day they started for Paris. Tho matter furnished a delightful topic for the gossip in the salon of the Ohausue d'Aulin last winter. Much as people were disposed, however, to blame the gentleman for his conduct, which had driven him to commit himself, as a last resource, to the mercy of the treacherous deep, all admired his singular audacity, his surprising address, and wondered at his good fortune. He and his wife are now moving in quite as good circles as those which assembled on the beach of St. Malo to see him take the plunge which was to bring him a happy doliveranca or an ignoble end;—and the whole story is simple truth.

Pauper Labour in England.

Therh is no more wretchedly remunerated employment in tbe Kingdom than nail making, or one that, in consequence of the starvation prices paid, ia more frequently interrupted by ntukes. It spares nobody; mites of children out of school hours ran, in their small way, assist, and the poverty of their parent* makes them glad to avail themselves of oven their puny holp ; deli cate girls, mothers who are nursing their babies, aged women, bent and feeole, and who all their lives have been, in a manner of speaking, chained to tho forge drudgery in tbe midst of smut and smoke, still go on hammering and filing and tugging at the bellows until their strength utterly fails tbem. Then they retire for a brief spell to tho workhouse, and thouco to the churchyard. It ia a marvel how on tbe scanty wages they are enabled to earn they contrive to exist at aIL I remember a Door soul at Cradley, a widow woman, who, with the assistance of her eldest daughter, a girl of thirtoen, maintained by h»r chain-making the entire family, seven in number. The hovel in which her forge was fixed adjoined tho squalid little two-roomed cottage where she was supposed to reside, but to u<c her own words, she "might, except for sleeping purposes, as well bo without it, since it was only on Sundays that the did not live with the children in tbe smithy." And neVer did I set eyee on more deplorable little objects than tbe latter were. Rot one of thorn, including the girl who attended to the fire and the bellows, wore either shoes or sbockiogs, thongh no shoe-leather could have been blacker than their feet, the remainder of their bodiei being but a few shades lighter in com plexion. It was a mere waßte of soap, their mother averred, even if she had money to spare for its purchase, to attempt to keep them clean. Being next to naked, they could not go into tho street, and their only play-place was among the coal-slack and ashes, On Sundays, however, sht gave them " a reg'ler gooc' scrubbing," and on tbe day of rest she washed their rags while they remained in bed, and dried tbem, tome how, to that they might wear tbem again on Monday morning. She told me that, working at the forge from six in tbe morning until ten or eleven o'clock at night, and with her daughter's assistance, the was able to earn about five farthings an hour, or one and elghtpenco or ninepence a day, Ten shillings a week exceeded the average, and out of thin she has to pay two and ninepence rent for th» cottage and tbe "hearth," or smithy hovtl. —" London Telegraph."

The Persecuted Jews.

Drj&iNG the violent debates in the Hun garian Parliament on the subject of Jews, General Klapka, a distinguished and popu lar soldier, came to the defence of the per secuted race and said : " I hold it my duty to defend the honour of those who in 1848-49 fought bravely by my side and who are now rewarded for their gallantry by being sud denly stigmatised as cowardi. Juit after tbe formation of the first ten battalions of Hon veds, a large number of young J«wb reported themselves with a view to volunteer enlist ment I distributed several of them to each company, and during the whole war I never found the slightest difference in the conduct before the enemy between Jews and Christian", Toward the close of the war there was a largo number of Jewish officers among our forces, and some were attached to my staff, and thoy all discharged their duties with credit. My General of Commissary at Comoro was that honourable man, Leo Hollander, alto a Jew, to whoso untiring activity and self-aacrifico we were chiefly indebted for the provisioning, with out Interruption and under the most trying circumstances, of our fortress. Hollander's sons also served in tbe army."

Cost of Living in France.

Thk cost of living In Franco has been com puted by Mr Armangaud, who took the expenditures of sixteen womng-clasa families In the town of Mulhouse, Alsace. Similar expenses might be a little over or a little under this estimate in other districts in France, but npon the whole the results may be accepted as a fair average. Tbe sixteen families tabulated by M. Armangaud were chonen from different classes of work men, and their expenditure varied from £44 to £120 per annum. House accommodation, as a rule, swallowed up 15 per cent, of the total expenditure, clothing j.6 per cent., and food 61 per cent., S per cent, being re served for miscellaneous purposes. In the matter of food the highest expendi ture registered was 72 per cent., and this item ot expenditure was thus distributed : 33 per cent, was for bread, 14 per cent, for meat, 13 per cent, for milk, 24 per cent, for groceries, and 16 per cent, for miscellaneous aliments. The greatest expenditure upon bread In any individual case was -IS per cent. It was thus seen that the average expenditure of these sixteen working-class families of Mulhouse upon bread was a little over one-fifth of their annual expenditure. This being tho case in the average, and the greatest expenditure being about one-third of the total expenditure of the families,' it will be seen that, taking these iigures as fairly representative of the expenditure upon bread among working-class families, it is an exaggeration to say that the chief item in a working-class family's expendi ture, In France at least, Is tho broad bill,
