CYRUS w, FIELD,

| WE hope we do not violate confidence
in stating fact to the honor of a New
York merchant, which, though pri-
vate transaction, ought to be known.
Our fellow-citizen, Cyrus w. Field,
whose name will always DO connected
with the Atlantic telegraph, has twice
nearly ruined himself by his devotion
to that enterprise. Though man of
Independent fortune whom he began, he
embarked in it so large portion of his
capital as nearly to make shipwreck of
the whole. While in England, engag-
ed in the expedition of 1857, financial
storm swept over this country, and his
house suspended; but on his return he
asked only for time, and paid all in full
with interest. But the stoppage was Al
heavy blow, and being followed by a
| fire in 1859, which burned his store TO
the ground, and by the panic Of Decem-
ber, 1860, just before the breaking out OF
the war, he was finally obliged to conf
promise with his creditors. Thus releas-
ed he devoted himself to the work of
his life, which he has OF last carried
through. The success of the Atlantic
telegraph, we are happy to learn, has
brought hack a portion of his lost
wealth, and his first care has been to
make good all losses to others. He has
addressed letter to every creditor who
suffered by the failure of his house in
1860, requesting him to send statement
Of the amount compromised, adding
the interest for nearly six years, and as
fast as presented returns check in full.
The whole amount will be about two
hundred thousand dollars. Such fact,
however he may wish to keep it Sc
cret, ought to be known to his honor,
and the honor of the merchants of New
York.--Neto York Erening Post.

BEST DRESSED MAN IN PARIS

A YOUNG English barrister has sue
ceeded in marrying Mile R, the
wealthiest heiress in Paris, and connect
ed with one of the highest families.
The young lady was known to possess
an unextinguishable weakness for q
well-dressed man, and, by loudly ex-
pressing this opinion, had been of more
service to the tailors of Paris within the
last year than Count d'Orsay in double
the space of time. The barrister had
many rivals, but the most formidable
was Il gentleman Acknowledged to be
the most approved dandy in Paris. The
| lady selected these two to decide from.
and invited them both to her chateau.
The Frenchman declared to his friends
that he meant to cut the matter short at
once by 50 outshining the Engishman
| by his dress that the latter would retire
from the field crushed to atoms by the
superior skill he was determined to
manifest on the occasion. The English
man said nothing, made no boast, but
accepted the invitation, and together
| by the same train, the two rivals left
Paris for the seat of war. 1t so happen
ed that the French dandy had furnished
himself with a regular trousSedu for the
occasion at the great English tailors in
the Rue de Helder, and the English
tailor, out of sheer compatriotism, had
told Mr.. III of what it was composed.
A
of the barrister. His servant, one of
the sanctitied, hypocritical roue Wallets,
for whom London is always famous, is
something about the height and size of
the French pretendu. Mr.. H imme-
diately ordered for this ally the exact
counterpart Of every suit already order
ed by the Marquis de Ia b. The
first day, at dinner, the poor young
Marquis was rather disconnected, when,
upon entering the dining-room, his
glance alighted upon the very counter
part of himself, standing stiff and self
centred behind the Englishman's chair /;
and he looked angrily at his rival to see
if any insult was intended; but the
Englishman was too intent upon max
ing himself agreeable to the lady to no.
tice his rutiled temper. The second day
the same scene was enacted, although
our hero had completely changed even
the style of his white toWnure; and
again was the same i'll humor displayed
during the whole of dinner, while Mr..
-- was profiting by the silence of his
witty rival. The third and fourth repe-
titions were too ridiculous. The young
Marquis, too clever and too much the
man of the world not to feel the absurd
ity of his position, prudently withdrew.

FOR THE LADIES.

THE Empress Eugenie lit may inter-
est our lady readers to know has worn
two different styles of dress at Biarritz,
this season, both of which are worth n
special description. The first is wide
Sultane dress, with wide lilac stripes on
it, and the skirt opens at each side over
lilac silk pettcoat. The Sultane skirt
is gored SO efiectually that there is not Il
single pleat at the waist, and it Is trim
med round the lower part with three
crosss-cut bands of lilac silk, bordered
with lilac fringe, beaded with crystal,
The body.is composed entirely of lilac
silk. 1t has wide, fiat pleats, both at
the front and back, and the pleats are
covered with an insertion of binche
guipure. A small Watteau-hat, with
n wreath of delicate lilac flowers round
it, complete the toilette. The second is
Il white muslin dress worn over a bright
light blue silk petticoat; the skirt is Or
namented with large arabesqucs of rich
binche guipupe, and at the extreme
edge there are imbricated vandykes
likewise of binche guipure by imbri-
Gated mean that the vandykes over
lap each other like the states on roof

WHO PAYS ?

THE newspapers recently recorded
the fact that a Massachusetts manufac-
turing company had just declared divi-
dend of one hundred per cent. on a
years profits, after reserving surplus
enough to enlarge and improve their
mill. Another important fact, beari lg
upon this point, is the heannouncemento of
a woolen manufacturer in the same
State, that before the war it cost him
three dollars and fifty cents to make a
yard of cloth which he sold for four
dollars, and that now he sells at eight
dollars per yard what only costs him
four dollars to produce. These manu-
tacturers make goods for the million,
and their enormous profits account, in
some measure, for the present extraor-
dinary high prices of the fabrics used by
the masses. In the face of this state of
things, the Radicals of New England
are loudly clamoring formore protection,
and want Il higher tariff solely as n
means of increasing their profits. The
wants and necessities of the poorer class
es are unheeded by these cormorants,
and the actual cost of living is advanced
to a standard which calls for immediate
reform. How long will the people be
satisfied with Radical rule ?-Ihitadet-
phia 1ge.

OLD SERIES, VOL. 27, NO. 8.

BREATHING-OuT OF DooRs AND IN THE
HoUsE.-Tbe following should receive a
careful perusal from every reader:
When man draws breath of air into
his lungs, the numerous little cavities of the
lungs are filled with air, which is mixture
of oxygen and nitrogen. A portion of the
oxygen passes, by the mysterious action of
the endosmosis, through the, membrane of
the lungs, into the blood, which has been
distributed on the opposite side Of the mem
brane to receive it. The blood, having alb
sorbed through the oxygen, carriesit through
the arteries, all over the system into the
minute capillary blood vessels, and here it
is brought into immediate contact with the
food, which, after digestion, had been pour
ed into the blood. A portion of the carbon
of the food combines with the absorbed OK
ygcn forming carbonic acid and generating
precisely the same amount of heat that the
| same quantity of carbon would generate if
turned in the state of coal in furnace 1t
is this heat which keeps up the temperature
of the system, and it is the fundamental con
dition for all those vital actions which con-
stitute life. Life depends upon the perpe-
tual filling of the lungs with oxygen: hence
if the windpipe is closed by rope around
the neck, or ii the mouth and nostrils are
immersed in water, death quickly ensues,
The air that is breathed out of the lungs
is mostly nitrogen and carbonic acil, with
but little of that oxygen which is the life
giving element If a person is sitting in the
room where the air is confined and still,
when a volume of air comes from his lungs
it fills the space about his mouth and nos
trils, and the next breath that he draws in
is mostly the air which has just previously
passed through his lungs. As he continues
to breathe the same air over and over, it be-
comes more and more deprived of its oxy-
gen, ami more and more sureharged with
carbonic acid; consequently his vital func-
tions become less vigorous.
On the other hand, if a man is walking
in the street while lie is breathing, when he
throws out quantity of air from his lungs,
his mead is carried along away from it before
he draws another BREATH and he thus gets
fresh supply of air with its full richness of
oxygen at every breath Hence the yigor
impaired to the system by exercise in the
open air, and hence the Importance of per-
feet ventilation to those confined in houses.
Besides, combining with carbon in the
blood, oxygen also combines with iron,
changing it from the brown protoxide to the
red peroxides the rough of the silversmths.
1t may be that the more perfect oxidizing
OF the iron in the blood is one reason for the
rosy cheek of those who live out of doors.
