"Malakodn writes to the New York Times the
following lively account of the difficulties besetting
soung belligerent and muscular American in
Paris.
Lately a young gentleman feom New York, on o
visit TO Paris boxer, and boy of great physical
strength, indaiged himself in the luxury one night
oil Shrashing, after ceaohman first one then
three policemen, and was only carried to the lock
up by the aid of a reinforcement. He was intoSi
Gated, ard when in tst state lost complete control
of himself. AT the station he treated as rude,
| ly as R he had been q criminal, and in fact was
| ranked in that category. In the morning he was
carried TO the CeHciergerie and thrown into acel
With noisy, flthy, petty thief. Two or three days
we're exhausted by the jlge d sssst,,uctaoE "a Sc
| cret preliminary COURT in arranging the evidence
| and the indictment for the Assizes. During this
| &me our prisoner had complained of his companion
TO the keeper. and the latter who had heard won
1 derfui stories of the American S pugsEe powers,
| (for the asar was the talk of the place. told the
| thief that his cemrade was an American. and a
famous boxer, and if he did not keep still he wouS
/ give him the privilege of pitching into him. How
ever, the complaint had gone to headquarters, @nd
| next morning the ailoV told the American, wkile
removing the thief, that they were going to give
him countryman for q companion, and soos he
returned with negSpl end very bad specimen at
| that from New 0Cle&ns
Ger friend was in no way an amaigamatonist,
not even an Abolitionist--he is less now than
| overland he demerred, much to the jaieor's as
| tonishment, louder than ever. Fortunately there
were a great many people brought in that day,
and he was transferred to the prison Mazas, far
| away up town. To arrive there he was huddled
| into one of those cellular vehicles classically
| known as e Black Maria, in which the company
| is generally more numerous than select. For a
/ proud scion of New York apprehension, this was
not exactly brilliant defoaeltet to the affair with
/ the coachman and the policemen. To add to the
| humiliation, lie was kicked and cuifed by the un-
| derlings of the police as if he had been a dog
4 without a master; in the dark aud mysterious
i windings of the Coneiergere and the Palace of
| Justice, he was not told which way to direct his
steps, but was pushed and showed around corners,
/ collared and dragged up and down steps. When
he came into the presence of a Judge or superior
1 officer of any kind, "a fact which he could not be
expected to know always and did not at ence
take off his hat, it was unceremenously and very
I vigorously knocked off. He was fortunate enough
at Nazas to get a political prisoner for cell
| panion; and here prisoners are treated very much
1 better than ON the island. In the meantime, SO
many friends had been demanding the liberation
1 of the young ntn, that the authorities began to
think that perhaps their prisoner was not so bad
nor SO dangerous subject as they had taken him
| to be, and at last, upon the direct interference,
but in an unofficial way, Of the American Lega
| ton, he was discharged the admonition of the
4 gravity Of his ofense, on the severity of the law
against attempts at resistance to the armed force
and with charge to leave the country in as hours.
The moral of this history is short plain and very
practical: Don't attempt any games ON French
| policeman.
PACIFIC RAILROAD Kansas city; July 25.-The
| ceremony of breaking ground on this end OF the
| great Pacific Railroad took place to-day. The
| occasion was most appropriately celebrated by
sautes, bonfres barbecue festivities and speeches
from the most prominent and thorougll-going rail-
road men of the West, Mayor Maughs, Col, Doni
phan, Col. Gilpin, Mr.. Taylor, President Of the
Road, eX President Mcpherson, Gov. Roberts, of
Kansas Territory, and many others. 1t is estima-
ted that there were at least 10000 people on the
| ground, all Of whom were enthusiastic over the
| great work 1T was glorious and proud day for
Kansas City, and goes to show that though Govern
ors may veto State aid the veto power does not
extend far enough to cripple the energies, zeal and
will of the people who demand railroads, and who
are abundantly able and willing to build them in
the State of Missouri. There never more
enthusiastic railroad demonstration. The work is
now fairly commenced. 1t is in the hands of the
contractors, and will speedily be completed.
Mayor Maughs. the President, and the Directors of
the road, are invited guests at Independence to-
morrow night.
