TuE PARIS EXHTBIrIos--The New York

does not think that this country will be very
crcditably represented at the Paris EAhibi-

u suspect the department allotted to the
United States will cut but a sorry figure as
far as regards quantity, AS hear OF little OF

parts. Let US, however, hope that whatever
does find lis way there will be OF that gen
,,ue ssraetical character that, after all, Sc
cured MS so much credit in the World

Ono CAN'T BE BEAT.-Att6 the grand b.
by Show of Barnum at his Museum, Ohio
leads off in point of productiveness. Mr..
]. B. Sprague and his wife, exhibited two
girls and three boys, triplets and twins
All of them were born in Knox county,
Ohio. The triplets, two girls and boy,
were FIVE years old. and the twins, boys,
were three years old. The happy father
thought this was putting in the time pret-
ty well. We vote aye on that question:
There are seven sets of triplets, II sets of
twins, and 100 single editions of humani-
ity. AT least 10000 persons attended
the show during the first day. The total
income was over $3.50 1t will be kept
up about week, and will turn out quite
speculation. The Tribune reporter thus
describes the baby that took the 500 prize,
&C.:
"The baby who took the premium Of
800 as the handsomest in the collection
somehow escaped the notice OF reporters.
Its name is Charles Orlando Scott; it was
born February 18. 1851; the father is 80
years old and the mother 90; the mother
has had two children before; she I'lved
freely" for the year previous to its birth;
she INDUCED during that time in general
domestic exercise; its birth was regular.
and it has been bathed in cold water win
ter and summer. Mr.. Barnum speaks nd
very high term of the beauty Of the mother.
The mother and child will be enthfoned
to-day and through the week fol the pub
lie ratification of the award. After that
it can be found at No. 800 Fourth avenue.
Its father is a coachman. 1t is therefore
definitely ascertained that handsome
baby must have handsome mother, and
she must have had two children before,
that she must live freely. take general do
mestic exercise on level laud, and that her
husband must be coachman."

CURING A BLOoMER.

Jack Carysfort was engaged to Miss Me-
linda Wrinkle. the only daughter of a re-
tired merchant, when she was only quite a
child, and then started for Paris, where
he was to'stuly for four years; at the ex-
piration of which time Miss Wrinkle would
be nineteen and ready TO assume the duties
of matron. There was no necessity Of
Jacks studying medicine, he had ample
fortune, but old Wrinkle insisted that he
ought to have profession. From time to
time he heard from and Of Melinda, and
learned that she was growing up very
beautiful, and SO changed that he wouldn't
know her.
His studies completed, Jack returned
home, and no sooner arrived in Boston
than he went in search of Tom Winkle, to
learn how his sister was-old Winkle lived
on a fancy farm forty miles from Boston.
Tom told him that his sister had grown up
active and attractive-that she had receiv
ed first-rate education, and was witty and
accomplished; but that she had become in
fected with the bloomer mania, and moth
ing could cure her of her ridiculous de-
termination to wear the pantaloons, and
adopt the habits of the ruder sex. He
= said that her father had demonstrated with
her in vain, and that nothing could cure
her of her folly.
Now Jack abhored an unsexed woman,
and in spite of his own solemn engage
ment to marry Melinda, he resolved, if he
failed to convert the lady to his own no
/. tons of propriety by system of tactics he
had rapidly conceived, he would abandon
her to some less fastidious suitor. Having
impaired his project to Tom, he started by
railroad for Winkle Lodge, and in acouple
of hours was shaken warmly by the hand
of Mr.. Winkle. The old gentleman pre-
pared for great change in his daughter,
and hoped he would not be too much
shocked at her costume, So much prom
ised, he introduced the lover to his lady,
and her cousin Maria, very pretty girl,
staying with her to keep her company.
Melinda wore jaunty black velvet rid.
ing cap, beneath which her hair appeared,
cropped short like mans; frock coat
,buttoned up to the throat; a pair of fault
lessly fitting pantaloons, and little high
heeled boots. fshe had been an actress,
Jack would have been delighted, but he
was very sorry to- see lady so intimately
associated with his happiness in this e.
ouipment. She, however, was evidently
proud of the independence she exhibited.
Jack kissed her, but he kissed her eous-
in, too, not entirely to the satisfaction Of
the Bloomer.

ANOTHER SwINDLINe Clam AeExf
CONVICTED. Commissions Waldo etin-
ces no disposition to repose upon the lau-
rels he has SO fairly won, and modestly
worn, as prompt, vigilant and faithful Of
icer. Some two months since he trans
mitted such information to the United
States district attorney for East TeEnesI
see as led to the arrest ofJohn Parham, on
a charge of forging bounty claims.
One of the Commissioners clerks was
promptly dispatched to Tennessee to aid
the district attorney with the necessary
testimony. At the last term Of the dis
trict court, held at Knoxville, ihe case
was brought to trial. and resulted in
the conviction of Parham, who will doubt
less be sentenced to Imprisonment for q
term of not less than seven years. This
makes the nineteenth conviction since
Judge Waldo has been placed at the head
of the Pension Office.

semi-circle was drawn: the. victim who
passed over this fatal matb. touched d
spring, which caused the diabolieal engine
to open its arms. clasp him, and thousand
knives cut him into IS many pieces in the
deadly embrace. This was called the yir-
gin. The sight Of these engines Of torture
kindled the rage ofthe soldiers to fury: they
declared that every Inquisitorand soldier Of
the Inquisition should be put to the torture.
The generals did not oppose them. When
the Inquisitor General was brought before
the virgin he begged to be excused.
NO. said they, you have made others
kiss her and now you must doit,' and push
ed him over the fatal circle. The beautis
full image instantly elasped him in its arms
and he was cut into innumerable pieces.
After Witnessing the tortures Of four, the
Colonel left the soldiers to wreak their
vengeance on the guilty inmates Of that
prison-bouse of hell. In the meantime il
was reported through Madrid that the In
QUESTION was opened, and multithdes hast
ened to the fatal spot. What a meeting
was there! 1t was like a resurrection-
About one hundred who had been buried
for years, were now restored TO life. Fa-
theirs found their long lost daughters, wives
were restored to their husbands, sisters to
their brothers, and parents to their children.
The scene was such as no tongue could
describe.
Having sent to the city for awagon load
of powder, he deposited large quantity in
the vaults and placed slow match in con-
nection with it,and withdrew TO distance.
In few moments there was joyful sight.
The walls and turrets of the massive struc'
ture rose majestically towards the heavens,
impelled BY the tremendous explosion, and
fell back to the earth heap of ruins.

EE The death Of an old mans wife,
says Lamartine, is like cutting down an
ancient oak that has long shaded the fam
lily mansion. Henceforth the glare of the
world, with its care and vicissitudes, fall
upon the old widower's heart, and there is
nothing tobreak their force, or shield him
from the full weight of misfortune. 1t is
as ifhis right hand was withered, as if one
wing of an old eagle was broken, and ev-
rey movement that he made brought him
to the ground. His eyes are dim and
CLASSY, and when the film of death falls
over him, he misses those accustomed
tones which might have smoothed his pas
sage TO the grave.
