Everything new in fashions, amusements
and vices, seems to have its origin with the
French. A Paris letter writer edifes his read
ers with the following account of some new
cotillons introduced at the Countess de Lowen.
thal's grand ball at Paris, and which are now
ton in that great center of fashion and plea
sure: ..r.
After paper-hoops and festoons had been
traversed and plunged through by the whole
company in circus fashion, balloons filed with
gas, were set floating, which the cOtillon
dancers had to seize by the pendant strings.
Bouquets were introduced Of the same variega-
ted character, and composed of the costiest
| flowers.
Two Of the bouquets matched completely
and were to be sought by hose who were to be
coupled-for the cotillon at least, if the mis-
chief extended no further into life. She'll OF
golden nuts containing each one-half kernel
the other, or twin half, having to be sought
among the dancers, to form the whole nut
After this succeeded a tournament d'anlour, the
gentleman being furnished with golden lance
with which, while waltzing, he had to ring a
target if successful, a charming little figure
of Cupid presented prize worthy of Cupid'l
self. The happy arrangement of this cotillo L

THE DEAD MANS CAMPAIGN.--0ne of the
ablest strategists in America is of opinion,
that the present tactics of the Austrians are
those which the Duke of Wellington mapped
out for that Government in 1915, Immediately
upon tho escape of Napoleon, and in the ex-
pectatiOn of movement being made by the
French upon Lombardy. 1t was founded upon
the fact that he had invariably beaten the
French by not giving them battle until their
enthusiasm had expired; he allowed their
steam $50 to speak, to exhaust itself in skir-
mishes, marchings, countermarchings, or in
action; and when they were in state OF lassi-
tude and chagrin from those causes, he gave
them battle, and thus, as it were, forced ennui
to meet stern doggodness. There never was a
finer army than that which Massena led
against Wellington, when the latter took his
stand at Torres Vedras; how it melted be-
meath the negative opposition of the British
General is well known. Wellington, there
fore, advised the Archduke Charles not to give
battle to tho French until he had wcaricd them
out with resultless skirmishing and vigiant in
action. In conversation with Mr. Heapby,
the artist, the Duke saidi IA French army is
like bottle of champagne, irresistible and
glorious when first opened, but it soon loses its
vitality If left to stand; while an Englishman
is like port, all the better for keeping"
1t must be borne in mind that Austria has
patience as its ally, while the same element is
fatal to his antagonist.-IAustrated Mc,cs.
The daily press. (Cincinnati [Ohio) 1859-1859, 1859-06-23

In Tuesdays issue June 21), first page will
be found the account of the descent of an i'm
mense meteoric body in 0swogo County.
We treated the matter as q Green Cheese
story. just before our outside form was worked
pf telegram was received from 0swego, an
nouncing the hoax. The conclusion of the
story is so we'll told by the Oswogo, N. Y. Pal
ladium that we cannot resist giving place to It,
We arc indebted to our friend Lewis Putnam
Of Boylston, for his efforts to furnish us at the
earliest moment with the particulars of the
event. He says, on the receipt of your dis
patch at Pulaski, l started at once for Bowls
ton to inspect in person the scene Of the start
ling phenomenon of Wednesday. The facts in
regard to the time and circumstances preceding
the fall of the aerolite l have from Mr.. Jas.
Hadley, an intelligent and responsible citizen
of the town of Redfeld, who resides about one
mile from the scene, and the rest is from per-
sonal observation.
Mr., Uadley inakcs the following statement: /:
III was awakened at about three o'clock on
Wednesday morning, by the room in which I
slept being filed with light, and Immediately
heard rushing sound like the coming of a
great wind. This did not last above a few
seconds after l was awake, when an explosion
it was terrific. The whole house shook as if a
hundred cannon had been fired under the win
dows; quito number of pancs of glass were
broken out of the windows, and the plastering
of the room | was in came tumbing about me.
The light, which was so brilliant that could
plainly see every object in the room, was at
once extingushed. The window of my room
is on the opposite side of the house from the
place where the meteor fell, so that can only
judge of its direction. The light seemed to
come from some body moving very rapidly and
from south to north, and seemed to increase
rapidly during the brief space that preceded
the explosion"
The aerOlite struck the earth in some timber
land belonging to Mr.. Sanger, in a thinly in
habted portion of the town. We believe Mr..
Hadley's is the nearest dwelling. 1t seems to
have been an almost spherical body of, as near
as VIC can judge from the fragments remaining,
about sevcnty-fve feet In diameter. It's course
was from southwest to north-east and de-
scended at an angle Of not more than thirty
degrees from the horizon, which is proved by
its track through the heavy hemlock trees be-
fore it touched the earth.
The trees are cut through as a cannon ball
would cut through a hedge, leaving a clear
track. The velocity must have been immense.
The earth is torn up for several rods, and the
huge trees are splintered and piled up like
brush' One large hemlcck, at least four feet
in diameter, near whose roots the meteor
struck, was thrown bodily for eighty yards
| crushing the surrounding trees like pipe stems
| Fragments of hugo sandstone bowlder which
| lay in its cOurse, under the surface were thrown
in all directions, and one weighing half ton
was found in the road three -fourths of mile
| away.

TONNAGE OF Tue WoRLD.--An English pa
per says: "At present it may interest our rea
ders to know the extent of the merchant ma
rine, from which may be estimated the Ireal
maritime power. The tonnage of the world is
about fifteen millions, the United States being
first, United Kingdom second, France third,
and British colonies fourth, but if we take
Great Britain and her colonies together they
amount to trihe over that of the Great Re-
public. This is sad change from 1918, whom
all the European ports were blOckaded by us,
not an enemy's ship appearing on tho ocean,
except those of our cousins, with whom, as we'll
as the Great Napoleon, we were then at war.
Our merchant marine far exceeded the rest of
the world. Now we only stand at one to threel
