ENGLISH AUTHORS.

- -
The old age of those two veterans of English literatc,
Disraeli and Carlyle, presents respectively a rather n0t,..34
contrast—one of them bringing out a novel of very DJIS
life, in his well-known old style, while the other sits 01'4'
" the silences," like Marius among the ruins of Carthage'
and gives up the world as a bad concern, and little bett!r,
than the thing Coleridge called it—" the devil in a still
waistcoat." Then the facial portrait of the two men
so different—as we see them in them agazines of the "A.
—that of Disraeli looking out from among the " ono
feet" with a confident air of " work," and Carlyle f
its vacant gaze of weary disgust, telling the experience • g
a life-time spent in combating the " shams " and fallacibe
of general opinion. The biography of his life seems t°„The

cable telegram announcing the illness of the author .%
" Lothair," will awaken here sympathy as genuine as I,„
England. No greater tribute could be paid to the corm
politan nature of the fame of Disraeli.—N. Y. Times-

A MUSCULAR DISCOVERY.
There will be great excitement created in pugilistic 01;
cies by the information that. "an English anatomist ,
boas
discovered "a new muscle in the human body, all .
feeling will, perhaps, be shared by pedestrians,
racers, and athletes of every variety. We have been
petting something of this kind. We knew that we c°.lo
nt
not go on for ever in the career of physical developnlevo
without adding a new muscle or tendon, and here we b3he
the first. We now await particulars. Is this one of t
muscles upon which a man may travel ? Will it be usef

in hitting out or in stepping out ? Is is one which Less '9
Tweed and Sweeny will find useful upon election (W'
Or is it one of your little, mean, contemptible muscles,
hidden away somewhere in the neck, and of no partial°
value to anybody.—New York Tribune.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
We are now told that there is a convent of monks;
lowa following the rule of St. Bernard. " After a cat' a
time," it is said, " they take upon themselves a vow nevfor
to speak aloud, and a number have kept that vow ,eci
twenty years." It has • been more than once intioro
that speech is silver, but that silence is golden; and' •e
a step toward a return to this kind at least of SP'
payments, we would suggest that this relgious houseo
lowa might lend one or two of its very dumbest inewbe „,it
to Congress. Seated in either Chamber, and raying:, "
what Sidney Smith called "brilliant flashes of silelli;1
they would be to every garrulous legislator a perpe
example and a constant admonition. We calculates to
such monitors could have been present in the Se the
during the Georgia debate, that it would have saved 726
country at least a million of dollars.—New York -Ti.1611

WESTON'S WALK.
Edward Payson Weston successfully accomplished 00
great feat of walking 100 miles in twenty-two hours,: 00
May 25. Mr. Weston commenced walking at filqng
minutes past twelve on the morning of that day. °viient
to the unseasonableness of the hour, but few were pres
at the start, but towards dawn many began to gather the
and during the 'day thousands passed to and from es
Rink, remaining but long enough to see what progros
had been made. The number oerounds to be made 'the
717 and a fraction, according to the measurement 0f
ed
city surveyors. Towards evening the crowd incretrid
unlit all the standing room in the Rink was taken IV; "ev
it took the united efforts of a large body of police to feted
the track clear. Each time that a round was conlPted.
and the time announced, the pedestrian was greewd.
with cheers and shouts of encouragement by the cr° Pit
The last mile was completed at fifty-three minutes,l;el
nine, leaving about twenty-two minutes of the stiPut„ool-
- to spare, the one hundred miles having been v„.l
pleted in twenty-one hours, thirty-eight minutes,
fifteen seconds. The announcement of the result was
th
signal for a deafening buret of applause from the thousauoo
who had assembled to witness the successful termlnat
of the greatest pedestrian feat ever attempted. ffo.4
Weston did not seem in the least fatigued, stepping ° ne
briskly on the last mile as on the first, and after the
tot
hundredth mile had been accomplished he addressed vot
crowd from the judge's stand, saying that it was love, 21 11
money, which had induced him to attempt the feat Avllco.
he had just accomplished. It was the desire to free.
self from the reputation which had been given hi,oija
some of the daily papers of being a " humbug,: 'cl'ioa
to set right before the public those who had befriend
and defended him.

THE STEAMSHIP CITY OF PARIS.
This magnificent vessel, which belongs to the Ire::
Line, arrived at this port on Monday night, alQioce
passage of ten and a half days from Liverpool. ',ble
her last trip to New York she has undergone considep,
change, and is now the largest New York steadner,,„
She was the fastest vessel of her line until the City
Brussels was added to the fleet ; so in order to Pl3cether
in a fair condition to compete with the vessels 01 °co,
lines, it was found necessary to add forty feet to her lenTioo
By this addition, which was made in the midship seever
of the steamer, the City of Paris is now 416 feet long 'roe
all, being ten feet longer than the City of Brussels• teatalteration will give her additional cargo sace to the ex e 1
of 600 tons, and berths will be fitted foru 220 additl".„ of
steerage passengers. At the same time the buoYalletier
the steamer is incresed to the extent of fifteen inches- we
burden is now 3,100 tons. On the 6th instant, bea-ocl
starting for this port, she made a trial trip to 501,00
made an average speed for the thirteen mtel'
the trip lasted, of fourteen and three-qua,,lots.
knots per hour, and at one time attained fifteen loco.
The City of Paris was built in 1866, and is justl,ruced
sidered a marvel of shipbuilding skill. She exPerle bot
