THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW IN PARIS

A letter from Paris gives the following description of the
great cattle show now exhibiting in the French capital.
The writer says—Regarded as a mere promenade, the Palais
de l'lndustri is infinitely more charming now than it was
during the Universal Exhibition last year. The entire
nave, which was then crowded with:furniture of all sorts
and sizes, heaped together necessarily without much re-
gard to symmetry, is now transformed into a delicious
garden. There are lawns, gravel walks, fir trees, and
cypresses, fountains, and flower baskets. The coup (Twit
from the galleries is charming, and alone well worth the
single franc paid for admission. The entire space under-
neath the galleries is occupied by bulls and cows (espece
bovine). The sheep, pigs, and poultry are outside, where
indeed are a portion of the bovine species (including the
Derry cattle), for want of room in the interior. It is im-
possible not to admire the neatness of the arrangements
for staffing the beasts. The state of their litter and the
general cleanliness does the highest credit to the manage-
ment of the Exhibition. There never was in the world
before such an agglomeration of cattle of different races,
and they are so disposed that every individual beast may
be inspected with perfect comfort. On entering the
building by the principal door, the English are found
ranged on the right hand. The Durham shorthorns are
the first numbered in the catalogue. Of these there are
120-60 bulls and 60 cows. I must remind you here that
this an exhibition of breeding animals, and not of beasts for
the slaughter-house, like the Christmas show in London.
Following the catalogue we come to Herefords, Devons,
Alderneys and Guernseys. Scotland occupies a very
large space in the Exhibition. The Ayrshire and Gallo-
way races were upon the whole more admired than any
others. This part of the Palais was the most crowded
throughout the day. After taking leave of the Galloways
it is necessary to go outside to see the black Kerry kine,
and a variety of mixed English breeds, which are thrust
out into a tent, where, however, they are very comfortable.
On returning we come to pens containing 200 Swiss cattle
of many varieties. The Fribourg and Berne beasts are
fine fat animals, said to be of Hungarian descent, but
looking like a cross between a Durham and a Charolaise.
Other Swiss cattle, as the Ober-Hasli, are much smaller,
and wilder in appearance. A little while before approach-
ing their pens I was at a loss to account for a continued
tinkling of deep-mouthed bells of various and beautiful
tones. I afterwards found out the mystery. I had heard
the Ranz des Vaches without knowing it. The bells which
the animals usually carry were hung up in front of them,
and they front time to time pushed them with their heads.
I at once guessed that the sound consoled them for their
absence from their native hills and valleys, and I was
confirmed in my surmise by a shepherd, who told me that
the bells were put there on purpose to tranquillise them.
One is much struck by the care with which the different
races are arranged. There are the Charolaise all white,
the Flemish red, the Garonnaise dun colour, the Bretons
black and white, &c., &c., all classed according to the
purest types of their races. The mixed breeds are put in
separate pens.

HAMBURG, Tuesday.—The Supreme Council of Den-
mark closed its sitting yesterday. The ministers made
a communication to the secretary of the committee con-
cerning the Sound Dues.
WRECKS.—One hundred and twelve (112) vessels were
wrecked during the month of May. In the month of
January the number was 265 ; in February, 174; in
March, 145: and in April, 157 ; making a total in the
past five months of 853 vessels.
The Moniteur contains a decree devoting the sum of
30,000 fr. as a relief to the victims of the inundation at
Lyons, and further empowering the departments of the
Gironde, of Finistere, of Lot, and of the mouths of the
Rhone, to conduct loans, and impose extraordinary con-
tributions on the property of the district.
The Times is of opinion that the settlement of the
American dispute is more remote than ever. We fear
that the letter, notifying to this government the dismissal
of Mr. Crampton, may every day be expected in England.
This event, which, seen through the mist of the future,
was calculated to inspire the most gloomy apprehensions,
seems, says the Times, to have lost a little of its mag-
nitude as it comes nearer, and to be, after all, a not
unendurable evil.
COINCIDENT PARENTAL LOSS AND ITS SINGULAR
CONSEQUENCES.—One of the most extraordinary cases
of mistaken identity, has recently come under our
notice. William Hardman, a lad aged eleven years, the
son of poor but respectable parents, Hying in the neigh-
bourhood of Hyde-road, Manchester, was, until last
Saturday week, in the employ of Mr. Barlow, news
agent, in Portland-street. He was then discharged for
misconduct and sent home. He said nothing to his
parents, but he left home as if to go to his work
as usual. It appears, however, that he loitered
about the Hyde-road, near the new prison, from which
place he was warned away, and he then went and loitered
on the line of railway. About nine o'clock he was
still on the line of railway, from which he was warned off,
as a train of thirty-two carriages was coming along the
line. He, however, persisted, and seeing the train, he ran
towards it, shouting out, " Here I am." Before the train
could be stopped it passed over him, and he was killed on
the spot, the body being most frightfully mangled. A
piece of paper was found in his pocket by which the lad's
name was discovered. Now comes the strange coinci-
dence. The boy was riot owned by his real parents, who,
missing their boy, searched for him, and went to Liverpool
and other places, where relatives resided, for that pur-
pose. While their search was being prosecuted, another
Mrs. Hardman in the vicinity, whose boy had been driven
from his home by the cruelty of his stepfather, hearing of
the death of this lad, was firmly persuaded that the
unfortunate youth, being of the same name, must be her
own son. She could not muster up resolution to go and
see the body, but assumed as a matter of course that the
loss was her own. An inquest was held upon the body,
and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the
deceased committed suicide. A coffin was ordered, the
other children of her family, supposed brothers and
sisters of the deceased, went into mourning, the money
was procured from the burial club upon the coroner s
certificate, and Thursday last was fixed for the
interment to take place. On the morning of that day
the bereaved mother desired that a lock of her son s
hair should be obtained for her, but immediately upon
seeing' it a suspicion entered her mind that it was not her
son's hair. She then went and viewed the body, and
received a confirmation of the justness of her susnicion.
The clothes of the deceased were then procured, and were
found to be those of a stranger. Her happiness culminated
in a few short hours, for her own son returned to her,
having journeyed as far as Sheffield and back. The
strange news soon spread, and soon the real parents of
the deceased heard the sad intelligence, and tendered the
last offices of respect. It is seldom, even in this fitful
and uncertain existence, that such singular coincident
circumstances occur, and are productive of such peculiar
combinations.
