The joutes ou the river" says he, (Which
consisted of number Of persons dressed
in white, occasioral!Y y pushing each other
from boats into the water. and the horse
racing III the Champ Mars, would not
have afforded fun to anybody at our side
of the channel; still. as each patton has d
right to indulge its own taste in amuse-
mvts,lt is only fair that the Freuch
Should please themselves in.these matters
The finest part of The coup daM to a
stranger was :he grouping of their multi
tudes, and their orderly and Acent deport-
ment. Well dressed women and children
were mixed in the crowd down to- the
waters edge; the windows and roofs of the
houses on the quays were thronged with
occupants, and not an accident or any
uncivii gesture was eheld.among the hun
dreds of thousands wbo were for hours
each day exposed to the scorching ravs of
tropical sun. 1t was most gratifying TO
see The hrmbest nccsoas everywhere civ.
the best situations for behollng the
amnsements, and there Vas further cra-
tllication Of being made sensible how easy
1t is TO afford pnstinles to this gay and
light hearted people. The statesmen who
have IN times past converted large portions
OF them into savages, have much to an
swer for, or the peopeAhave Of themselves
advanced much in civilization during the
last hirty years."
This passage. though mingled up with
something of a sneering and exclusive
commentary, contains tie highest eulo-
gium upon the French national character
Ihe playful tricks of the people upon each
other, prompted by the best feeling and
received iu ike spirit, would not, it seems,
have afforded fun to anybody or the Eng
lisa side of tho channel yet this latter
people, 50 insensiblc to such ,childish
attractions, will assemble in thousands to
see two bruisers bung up the eyes and
batter the persons Of one another, for
money and the popular n.irth. Let them
not pra'c OF the Gladiatoral games Of lhe
ancient ROMANS, when they practice them
selves, at None, an equally brutal and far
more humilating amusement. l..t ti.c.u
spare their sneers upon the French, who,
if their delights are those of children,
have the luxury of krowing that they
2!so are as inn9cent, while they feel the
more elevated consciousness, that these
amusements, unbtndinS as they necessarily
do, the freInentls hard strung bow Of

Cheap and Durable Roofing.

Mr.. w. o. Diboll, of Dubuque, is ex.
tensively engaged in the business OF
selling and putting on composition
roofing, felt and pitch. His stock is
large and he can compete with Chica-
go prices He will 60 in the country
and put on new roofs or repair old
ones. The felt which he uses is thor
oughly saturated with pitch and press
ed between two rollers, which renders
it perfectly impervions to water. Mr..
Chaplin, who lately bought the John
Ferguson place in this township, has
covered the roof of his stone house
there with this kind of felt and then
shingled it, which of course gives him
a roof that no rain or snow can en-
ter. For sheathing to house, instead
of boards, this felt is an excellent arti-
Gle. 1t will keep out the frost and
cold, as well as rain and snow, far
better than boards-indeed, it will rem
der house air tight, and the pitch,
being offensive to vermin, is a good
preventive against their depredations.
This felting is furnished in large rolls,
is twenty-six inches wide, following
two inches for lap and will cost
81, 25. per one hundred square feet or
ten feet square. See Mr.. DibolPs card
in another column.

Death Of Sam Slick"

Judge Halliburton, better known as
"Sam Slick" from his humorous work
entitled "The Clockmaker, or Sayings
and Doings of Samuel Slick, of Slick
ville," died at the end of last month, in
England, at the age of 60 years. He
was a native of Nova Scotia, and ex-
ponent of American and Canadian
humor, and Yankee characteristics,
having written several books of that
sort, Of which, however, "Sam Slick
excelled all the others in popularity.
He also published historical and
statistical account of Nova Scotia, and
several political works. He practiced
law for many years in Nova Scotia,
and eventually was promoted to the
bench. OF late years he has resided
in England, and was elected to parlia-
ment for Launceston, Cornwallin 1859,
but lost his seat in the late general
election. He was fluent speaker,
and his social qualities contributed not
a little to make him favorite with a
large circle of friends on both sides of
the Atlantic.

Patent Roofing.

To those who contemplate building, we
would direct their attention to the card of Mr..
w. o. Diboll in this mornings paper. A good
roof is very desirable thing to have on a
structure of any Importance and as the roof is
not one of the least costly portions of an edi-
flee, any thing that would deduct from the
cost of it, without taking anything from its
good qualities, is most assurcdly worthy OF
consideration. Mr. Diboll has put on large
number of roofs of the kind he advertises. in
this city during the past ten years. and we are
satisfied they give general satisfaction. For
the truth of their excellence he has the priv
lege of referring to some of our most sub
stantial and reliable citizens.
Among the roofs put on by him more re-
Gently, we may mention those Of the Round
Houses - in this city and at Waterloo, for
the Dubuque & Sioux City Railroad Company
It is affirmed that this kind of roofing will out
last a tin one, and that they are by no means
as expensive. AS Mr.. ID. proposes now, not
only to take contracts as usual in the city, but
also for the country, we commend him and
his method to our country patrons, and read
ers. Any information they may desire to
have on the subject, they can readily procure
by addressing letter TO him with the proper
inquiries. We have no doubt but this style
of roofing is admirably adapted for barns and
out houses, and we have every reason to be-
lieve when its utility and cost Is known to
farmers, that it will be generally adopted.

DUBUQUE Dry Goods Trade.

1t is a great mistake made by some
of our country merchants to suppose
that they must necessarily 60 to Chi
cago or New York in order to pur-
chase their dry goods at the lowest
market price. A recent visit to the
Wholesale Dry Goods establishment Of
Messrs. Sheffield, Wood & Co., l62
Main Street, Dubuque, satisfied us
that country merchants can make il
for their interest to order from that
house. Their stock is very large and
kept fully up to the latest styles Of
both domestic and foreign fabrics. II
was this house that sometime since
sold large invoice Of goods to Chica.
go iobbers. Messrs. Sheffield, Wood
g. Co., being actually able to compete
with the New York market for the
Chicago trade. This shows them to
be complete masters of their business
To those of our readers, engaged in
the dry goods trade, we would recon-
mend a careful examination of the
stock and prices at this house before
laying in their fall stocks.
