Mrs Stowe in Paris.
PAR,s. Thursday. June 16.


The presence of Mrs. Stowe at Paris has, at last
been made sPnblic through the columns Of the
Charvari. That most reliable journal relates, that
several days after her arrival, each of the ten
transators sent her his card, and received in reply
note, declaring his particular translationto lie
the best and the most faithful translation of the
original. The ten met that SINE evening in the
anti-clamber lead ng to Mrs. Stoves parlor. They
leveled at each other the glances of triumph ex
cusable under the circumstances; and were then
introduced simultaneously.
Mrs. Stowe-How do you do, gentlemen?
Transators- jour, Madame.
Here great CONSERVATION was visible on the part
ofthe ten. They did not expect to be addressed in
English, and their confusion was extreme. The
conversation began again.
Mrs. Stowe-I am happyto see you, gentlemen.
Observation-Disclosures, nous sommes charmez de
,yous yoir.
Stuck again. for Mrs. Stowe did not understood
French, and the ten did not speak English. AT
last happy thought struck one of thenl-M. de
la Bedollere, probably. Though she does not un-
derstand pure French, he said she must be up to
niger French. so he began in the language intro
duced at the Ambigu, to initiate niger English.

The other nine tIanslators appropriate this hap
py idea, and level similar elegant apostrophes at
the unfortunate authcreSs, who begins o think it
strange that gentlemen who translate from English
cannot spead word of that language. She is
seized with the conviction that they must be
thieves, and opens the window and shouts for the
police. The gendermas arrive, and march the
ten tianslators off TO prison. The Charivari adds,
that this happened last week, and that they have
not been let out yet. The hit is good one, and,
l have no doubt, is founded upon fact. Ms. Stowe
thatthe translators do not speak English, though
they read it..

bed, she fastened to search the premises. She
found him suspended to cherry tree, a few yards
from the door. He had tel towel round his neck
and attached rope toit, and the other end to the
limb of the tree, so low, that in order to swing
clear from the ground, he had to draw up his feet.

the vital spark had fed, and the rigidness ofIthe
body indicated that he had been dead for some
time. A slight arrangement is said to have been
the cause of this melancholy catastrophe, and
some suppose that liquor had an agency, as he had
drank none for a number of years until within a
few days of his Death Yaynesburg Pa Eagle.

RIoT IN ALLEGHENY ClrY.-A riot took place in
Allegheny City, on Monday afternoon, IN which a
large number of persons were badly cut and
bruised.
The German Turner'S had been celebrating the
Fourth Of July, on Voeghtly's Hill, and were re-
turning, marching in procession to Pittsburgh At
the corner of Ohio and SanduSky streets, a young
lad of between thirteen and fourteen years of age
attempted 10 break through their ranks. He was
pushed back, but returned again three or four
times, till at last he was knocked down. He then
picked up number of stones, and pelted the pro-
ceSSlon, until some four or five of the Turner's
went ITO him and commenced beating him. He
certainly deserved good thrasaing, but being
small, and seeing such number of persons attack
ing him, the sympathies of the spectators were
aroused, and they attempted to rescue him. Other
Turner'S interferred and the fight soon became
general one, in which sticks and stones were freely
used, and numbers of broken heads and bloody
noses given and received. Several Of the most
respectable citizens, of Allegheny attempted to
quell the riot, but soon found themselves forced
to become participators in it.
Information of the ARRAY was speedily sent to
the Mayors Office, aud his Honor, Mayor Park,
soon appeared on the ground. Though his exer-
tons, in which he greatly aided by Doctor
HartICeyer, peace was at length restored, after
some half dozen arrests had been made. The
rioters had an examination before the Mayor, yes
terday morning, but the fight having been free
one, they were discharged. inasmuch as it was i'm
possible to getwitnesses to testify to any particu-
lar offence of which they had been guilty. Ex-
Mayor Campbell received, we understand, four
cuts OH the head, in the course of the melee

The CouNTRY.-The editor of the New York
Express, in that paper of the 2lst instant, is thus
eloquent on the beauties of the country, as con-
trasted with the hot bricks and dust of town:
The country was never looking moro glorious
than it now does. We never so realizinely felt
the force of the inspired poets bold metaphors
of the valleys laughing and singing, of the hills
clapping their hands for ioy-than during one of
our recent excursions into the interior counties of
our State. To watch the undulations of the hill
sides, each presenting diverse tinted crop 10 the
genial rays of the fruc flying sun; TO look down
into the green valleys lying at the bases of the up
lands; the abodes of thrift, of health, of content
ment and of beauty; 10 view the mountain tops
and slopes covered with forests, which seem 10
hold forth their myriad masses of foliage 10 temper
the Leat of the sun, or 10 form barrier to the
tempest, either too rudely threatened the grow
ing harvest beneath them; to sit and listen TO the
ripple and brawl of the now sunny, now shady nv
ulet as by roadside or mdfore it goes on in its
sparkling and devious way; to lie upon ones back
and watch the changes of the cloud forms of which
he catches chequered glimpse beyond the tree
tops; TO sail upon the lake and therein to wet a
line and perchance to fill creel; to stand in sun
shine above thunder cloud upon Catskill, and
see the valley beneath receiving its genial inilu-
ence; to listen to the delicious music of the song
birds, or the awful roar of the cataract. These
are pleasures and delights worth signing for IN the
midstof these heated walls of brick ami stone,
these crowded granite-paved streets, full of ino-
dorous, upalatable purieus and environs.

SOUTHWESTERN RAILRoADs.-In the southwest
ern section of the Union some improvements of
considerable magnitude have been projected and
vigorously urged. Among these, none, perhaps,
are of greater Importance than the railroad from
Vcksburg, Mississippi, 10 Ell PaSo, On the Mexican
frontier, or rather to Ecnt on the RIO Grande OPP
poSlte at city. This work, if completed, would
stretch entirely across the States OF Louisiana md
Texas. The company was organized oil the Goth
of April last. The State of Texas perceiving the
Importance this enterprise to her own interests,
has granted bonuspf 5000 acres of land for every
mile OF road actually constructed, which as we
learn from the New Orleans Delta, would be g.
100000 acres for the entire road and il is esma-
ted that these, on the completion of the line,
would really command from fifteen to eighteen
millions of dollars.
1t is expected that each county al, ng the route,
which is Though populous portion ofTexas, will
pay liberal tax towards the construction OF the
road and that the next legislature will make PR.
vision for the State to loan the company Mt least
$4,000 per mile of road, or its equivalent. II is to
be observed that this project is intended as con-
hnuation of the line of railroad from Charleston
S. G. westward to the Pacific, and that already
seven hundred miles of the Whole nine hundred
and fifty miles of the railroad between Charleston
and the Texan line are actually completed, and
the remaining two hundred and fifty are in a for
ward state of construction. The enterprise, there
fore, seems TO promise well for completion, and
the desperate efforts of the people of Texas to build
their portion of the road cannot but meet with sue
cess, their lands being every day increasing large
ly value in consequence of the rapid progress of
settlements. San Diego S the proposed Pacific
