The CEssPooLs OF PARIs-THRIR UNwHoLE-
soNENEss.-- Galignanis Messenger says of the
cesspools of Paris; "The cesspools are ma
sonry constructions, water-tight and air
tight. They vary in foulness, evolving sui
ph1rretted hydrogen gas; soap-suds are said
to add materially to their offenseness; ammo
niaeal yapors are given off--sometimes pro-
DUDE temporary blindness in the men en-
ployed to empty them. All these cesspools
are elconnected with closets, and the closets
with the houses; the gases force away into
court, closet, corridors, and rooms, as most
strangers find out when they visit Paris. The
grand sanitary secret and sanitary blunder
rests here, in these vast pseudo-hermetically
sealed cesspools. An open cesspool may be
dangerous to health; or, it may be merely a
nuisance, because there can not be concentra-
ton of the injurious gases; but the breath OF
a closed cesspool is most certainly death.
There is, probably, something more in it than
mere foulness of smell-something electric.
Tho suffocating odor, which open windows
and doors do not drive out, nor even percept-
IDLY diminish; and, at some points, there is
an invisible stream or ray of smell, which
cuts the nostril, as it were, like knife. Woe
to the unfortunate individuals doomed to
breathe in such an atmosphere; the year l76O
had nothing so pernicious. i nr'--.

openinu:orthe American Trade with japan

Opening.0fthe Americun Trade with Japan,
The New York correspondent Of the Ma
honaI Lpteuigencer says: ,r r.'.
: The trade with Japan is beginning to stim-
ulate the enterprise of commercial men.
Among the first fruits of the Japanese treaty
| find that q merchant of Na6asaki has made
a consignment of elegant vases to gentle
man of this city. They are TO be sold at
auction about the time fthe visit of the En-
bassy to this city, when every body will be
anxious about every thing relating to those
ingenious but unpretending people. A clip
per barque is about to be dispatched With
consignments to the prominent house of John
Almand & Co., at Kanagowa, with articles
suited TO the trade. A part of the cargo
consists of Ladd, Webster & Co.'s sewing
machines, printing-presses, and caloric and
other engines; and The musical taste of our
new friends is to be improved by the intro
duction ofsome of the best American pianos.
Music teachers will follow as mattey Of
course. ..
A series of interesting articles on the habits
and business of the Japanese have appeared
in the Express,~and a curiosity has been
awakened which will doubtless employ the
ready pens of persons who have had opportu-
mites of gaining information on the subject.
The last cruise of our East India Squadron
was full of incidents to be remembered. AS
an instance of Yankee enterprise, and of the
readiness with which they seize upon money
making projects it may be mentioned that
two Americans-one a Mr.. Coombs--have
opened hotel upon the American plan at
Hakodadi, and there will soon be an era OF
mint juleps and sherry cobblers. Cargoes OF
Boston ice will doubtless soon find their way
there. '-

INTERESTING DISCOVERIES IN CuRA.--A
traveller writing from Nueva Corona in a
recent letter says: .-,r ~.
Three miles from this town is an extensive
marble mine, in which are found various
kinds of marhlej it.was formerly worked by
a company in Havana, but labor here being
too expensive, it has been abandoned. In
both ridges of mountains and elsewhere on
the Island, are immense beds Of marble, said
to be equal in quality TO the Italian. In the
Sierra de Caballos is marble cavern half q
mile in extent; it is described as being very
beautiful; with marble pillars crystal water,
and stalactites. We have not explored il, as
it has not been. deemed prudent for invalids
to go from temperature of ITO In the sun
into its subterranean regions.
a All around Nueva Corona, and indeed over
all the Island . are interesting studies for the
scientific investigator. The Island is un-
doubtedly of volcanic origin, as there is
pumice stone in great quantities on the south
side, and streams Of hardened lava may be
seen between the great rocks on the hill
sides. These hills are very picturesque; pre-
cipices broad ravines, deep assures in the
rocks, and little cayerns, are in close proxim-
ity. At the base of one of these, we one
day discovered natural Rrotto, the en-
trance overhung with broad-leaved vines.

A MAN Grown FOND, BY Custom, OF I'M
pRIsoNMENT.--The Newark, N. j., AdUertise1,
of late date, says: "As proof of what in
huences an acquired habit exerts on per-
son, we instance the case of one individual
who has made our jail SO long his headquar-
ters, and the associations connected with il
have become SO endearing, that it is with the
utmost difficulty that he can be persuaded to
leave it at any time, and when discharged is
absent only long enough to commit some
misdemeanor which win consign him to his
much beloved abode. 1t will be remembered
that some weeks ago he requested to be al
lowed to go to jail, although he had been
guilty of no crime, but as the authorities
could not accommodate him, he broke q win
dow and thus put himself in the hands of the
law he was discharged, yesterday, much
against his willard Immediately proceeded
to the station-house, and, selecting the larg-
est pane of glass he could find, broke it, and
then claimed as his reward good long term
in the county Jail. His request was complied
with, and once more he is imprisoned"

o. HoNAN oA0VNe hhb NA9o
The Adams County owls. Independent oc-
cupies two columns in the details OF an adul-
terry and elopement case at Cascade, in that
County, the substance of which Is as follows;
Dr. L. b. Garrison, FORMERLY from Milton,
Rock County, about six years ago settled at
Cascade, where he sustained q reputation Of
no creditable character. For several years
he has had an improper intimacy with Mrs.
Ouppefnell, the wife of q young man in
charge Of Barker h Mies's mills at Cascade,
and she Is described as a woman of more
than ordinary intelligence and personal
beauty. ''''-"T rN"
A few weeks since, Garrison and his family
left Cascade under pretense of going East. A
few days after he left, Mrs. Cuppcfnell took
her child, 9 CIR, Of two years, under pretense
ofvisiting friends In Quincy. Garrison sent his
wife and family forward from Milwaukee, and
was joined by Mrs. Cuppernell, and together
they went to Blairsville, Posey County, Ind,
and purchased farm where they got nicely
established as man and wife, when they were
discovered by Chicago detectives under the
inspiration of the outraged young husband.
They were arrested and brought back to Ad-
ans County. Cupperuen attempted to kill
him, and shot him, putting a ball into his
neck, when the pistol was wrested from him,
and he then drew knife, but was prevented
from using it. The Doctor has been bound
over in five hundred dollars to appear for
trial, and is in danger of being dealt summar
ily with by mob. Mrs. Cuppernell, the poJr,
deluded victim of his wiles, has returned to
Cuppernelps house, where she remains in
company with her father! Her husband has
received from her confession of her crimi-
nal conduct, dating back for three years, and
a full account of the acts and wiles used by
the Doctor to obtain control of her.

A MURDER DISCOVERED AFTER MANY YEARS
The Tazwell County (Va.) AdUocate says,
that some days ago, James r. Witten, while
exploring a cave on his place, near the head
of Clinch, discovered the remains of human
skeleton, and by them the skeleton of a
horse and portions of bride. Many years
ago, a peddler who was vending his wares on
horseback in the neighborhood, suddenly
disappeared, and was never more heard Of
disposed of by foul means, but no discovery
or Investigation threw any light on the sub
ject. No doubt these strangely associated
relics in SO strange place, point to the real
result that peddler and horse came to Their
death by simultaneous and improper means.

The Rxteusivs Diuacna Rsbbery I'm Ney,
OrIeans--Arrest efshe Thief. r,ir,-

The New Orleans Dsita, Of late date,
gives the following particulars Of the great
robbery briefly alluded to By telegraph: !.
We recently announced the robbery of O
splendid set OF diamonds worth SIC, 900, from
the residence Of General Miles, Of this city,
by his servant girl Louisay who mysteriously
disappeared, and, though the police were ac-
lively on the look ont for her, no trace could
be discovered Of her whercabout. The gem
eral impression seemed 10 prevail that she
was still in the city and, accordingly, every
nook and corner where a slave might be se-
creted was ransacked, but the officers began
TO despair of ever finding her. About a
week ago, the Chief Of Police received in
formation that she had been seen a few days
before in the city, and he again placed his
specials on the look out. Yesterday she was
arrested in a house on Cypress-street, where
she had been harbored by free negro named
Charles Bell, alias Charles Miles. The woman
was taken TO the lookup, and the free negro
was also placed in the same Institution. The
girl states we learn, that she gave the dia-
monds TO two free negroes, both bright mo
lattoes one of whom passes for q white man,
and that they have. left the city. The bril-
liants by this time, have probably been con-
verified into cash. Iil li7
