WHAT THE BREAKING OF AN EGG LED TO.
"A young couple had passed the first few
weeks of their marriage at the house of a
friend. Having at length occupied their new
home, they were taking their first breakfast,
when the following scene took place:
The young husband was innocently open
ing a boiled egg in an egg-cup. The bride
observed that he was breaking the shell at
what she thought the wrong end. GLOW
strange it looks" said she, "to see you break
your egg at the small end, my dear! No one
else does so; and it looks so odd"
"Oh think it is quite as good, in fact,
better than breaking it at the large end, my
love; for when you break the large end the
egg runs over the top, replied the husband.
''But it looks very odd when no one else
does So" rejoined the wife.
"Well, now, really do think it is not
nice way you have got of eating an egg. That
dipping strips of bread and butter into an egg
certainly is not tidy. But dc not object to
your doing as you please, if you will let me
break my egg at the small end" retorted the
husband.
81 am sure my way is not quite as bad as
eating fruit-pie with knife, as YOU do. in
stead OF using fork and you always eat the
syrup as if you were not accustomed to have
such things. You really do not see how
very bad it looks, or | am sure you would moi
do So" added the wife.
"The syrup is made to be eaten with the
pie; and why should send it away on the
plate?" asked the husband.
'No well-bred persons ever clear thcil
plates as if they were starved said the bride
with cOntemptuous cast of her head.
s'Well, then, am not a well-bred person.
replied the husband angrily.
''But you must be, if we are to live com.

progress of the Improvement that the last I'M
covered sewer only disappeared ten years ago.
The present system of sewerage was decreed
on the 26th Of March, 1852, and consists of six
main galleries, called collectors; fifteen sec
ondary ones opening into the former, and
themselves fed by vast number of smaller
ones intersecting the city in every direction.
The smallest sewer is some seven feet in
height by four in breadth, and the largest
about thirteen feet in height and seventeen in
breadth The former is of an ovoid shape,
and affords ample space for man and a
wheelbarrow. The largest sewer is divided
into three parts, the two lateral ones forming
foot pavements and the middle one gutter
or drain some four feet broad. On each foot
pavement Il series of iron posts support wa
ter-pipe, varying in diameter from three and
half to two feet. In some of the galleries
there is but one water pipe. To cleanse the
drain small cart running on iron rails laid
along the bottom is pushed forward by two
men; the front of this cart is provided with a
drop plank, acting like sort of suice which,
when down, exactly closes the section of the
gutter, and pushes all the mud before it as the
cart advances.
But the grandest feature of this sewerage
system is syphon by which the foul waters
OF large part of the city are carried under the
pea OF the Seine to proper outlet. This sy-
phon is an enormous pipe of wrought iron,
having an interior diameter of three and
third feet, and some seven hundred feet in
length, which is sunk seven feet below the
low water mark. The general collector, into
which all the secondary ones pour their floods,
is stupendouS work and probably without a
parallel in the world. 1t is sixteen feet in
hight by eighteen in breadth, with a length of
about eighteen thousand and forty-five feet in
nearly right line The foot payements in
this immense subterranean avenue are some
six feet, the central drain is nearly eleven
feet in breadth, with depth of five feet; so
large in fact, that a wel-sized boat is kept
atioat on it for the purpose of cleansing. In
all four boats are constantly employed in this
work, and it takes sixteen days to cleanse the
whole length. Ventilation is provided for by
air traps at certain distances, and the gallery
is lighted with oil lamps.
The execution of this immense system of
sewers has cost fifty million francs (ten mil
lion dollars). The grand gallery is larger
than the famous Cloaca Maxima of Rome,
while the style of construction is of course
vastly In advance Of the Roman work. The
Cloaca Maxima is over thirty feet in hight, but
is only thirteen feet broad, and is supposed
never to have exceeded length Of three thou
sand feet.

fortably together" was the sharp answer Of
the fastidious lady.
"Well, l must break my egg at the small
end, so it does not signify; and must cat the
syrup"
"Then will not have either frut-pie or
eggs at the table"
"But | will have them," petulantly ex-
claimed the husband.
"rhen wish had not been married to
you," cried the young wife, bursting into tears.
"And so do |, added the now incensed hus-
band, as he rose and walked out of the room.
This domestic quarrel was followed by 9TH
ers equally triflings in their origin, and dis
graceful in their character, until the silly
couple made themselves so disagreeable to
each other that their home became unendura-
bic, and they separated.

THE vAsTNEsS AND IRREGULARITIES OF THE
SYSTEM.

SYSTEM.
The reader of Les Miserables will always
carry in his mind vivid picture of the sew
ers of Paris, in which one of the most marvel
louS of the many very remarkable events da-
guerreotyped in that wonderful book was
enacted. Yet Victor Hugo gives, after all,
only an outline of the vast arterial system
which so largely contributes to the sanitary
eminence of the brilliant capital treating its
results chiefly in their economical bearings,
and only incidentally touching upon the con-
struction, peculiarities, and extent of the sys-
tenn itself The details on these latter points,
possessing an undoubted interest at least to
all jewellers in cities, ARE supplied in an elabor-
ate and useful work recently issued from the
French press; and from this we group some
curious facts as to the vaStness and pecuhari-
ties of the work.
The first vaulted sewer in Paris was con-
structed as early as 1874; but so slow was the

THE OHIO ELECTION-ADD
OF HON. G. L. VALLANDIG-
HAM TO THE OHIO DEMOCRA-
CY

DEMOCRATS OF Ono You have been
beaten BY what means it is idle now to
inquire. 1t is enough that while tens of
thousands of soldiers were sent or kept
within your State, or held inactive in
camp elsewhere to vote against you, the
Confederate enemy were marching upon
the capitol of your country.
You were beaten; but a nobler battle
for Constitutional liberty and free popu-
lar Government never was fought by any
people. And your unconquerable firm
ness and courage, even in the midst of
armed military force, secured you those
first of freemen's rights-free speech and
a free ballot. The conspiracy OF. the 9TH
of May fell before yol. Be not discour-
| aged despair not of your Republic
Maintain your rights; stand firm to your
position; never yield up your principles or
your organizations. Listen not to any who
would have you lower you standard in
the hour of defeat. No mellowing of
your opinions upon any question, even OF
policy, will avail anything to conciliate
your political foes. They demand moth
| ing less than an absolute surrender OF
your principles and your organization.
Moreover, if there be any hope for the
Constitution or liberty, it is in the Demo.
cratic party alone and your fellow citi
zens in little while longer, will see it
Time and events will force it upon all
except those only who profit by the ca
lamities of their country.
/ / thank you, one and all, for you
sympathies ard your suffrages. Be assn
red that though in exile for no offence bu
my political opinions, and the free expires
sion of them to you in peaceful public as
sembly, you will find me ever steadfast i
those opinions, and true to the Constitu
: ton and the State and country of IN
birth.

FIVE DEATHS AT TIME.-A French
man resolved to get rid Of life, went a
little before high tide, to a post set up by
the sea side. lie had provided himself
with ladder, rope, pistol, bundle
of matches and vial of poison. Ascen-
ding the ladder, he tied one end of the
rope to the post, and the other end around
his neck, then he took the poison, set. his
clothes On fire, put the muzzle of the pis-
tol to his head, and kicked away the lad
der In kicking down the ladder he slop-
| ped the pistol SO that the ball missed his
head and cut the rope by which be was
suspended: he fell into the sea, thus ex-
tinguishing the flames of his clothes and
the sea water, which he involuntarily
swallowed, counteracted the poison, thu:
in spite of his precautions, he remained
unhanged, mshot, unpcisored, unbprnct
and undrowacd
