The Paris letter of the New York

ing relative to the great Paris Ex-
position: r1
AS soon as the Emperor and his
Court were placed the band struck

without great originality, is a very
effective production-and then Nj

little in front of the throne and stan

CO, rse to the Emperor, With his
back to the assembly.
His mention Of the United States
although brief, was friendly. He
said:
''The United States in 1862, pre-
vented from taking part in pacific
emulotion by a great war, have re-
serven in the Exposition of 1877 the
place to which they are entitled by
their political and commercial i'm
portance, and have molly taken the
rank"
NJ. Rouhef's speech was respond
ed to by the Emperor. AS his dis
cours will doubtless. have reached
New Y 1ork by telegraph. it is. not
worth while to give it. The Empe-
ror does not lack assurance when
he dares tell the French nation that
they have as much liberty as they
are entitled to! The effect Of the
speech is decidedly unfavorable
His Majesty delivered his discourse
in clear, distidct voice, and was
perfectly heard throughout the build

two or three miles west of Brad

ly made its appearance twenty or
thirty rods Immediately south Of the
steamer, and lashed the water vio-

suddenly disappeared again. Think
ing that the reptile had made for

afterward TO see the head of the
monster rise Immediately in front of
the vessels bow, and projecting its
monster jaws apparently over the
promenade deck. the passengers
screaming, and scattering them
selves in all directions. 1t created
quite commotion for the time be-

ing that that the vessel had taken

intended to do, suddenly change

Something like a Bull.

Many years ago, when church organs
first came into use, a worthy old clergy
man was pastor of church where they
had just purchased an organ. Not far
from the church was large town pas
ture, where great many cattle grazed,
and among them large bull. One hot
Sabbath in the summer, Mr.. Bull came
up near the church grazing, and just as
the Rev. Mr.. B. was in the midst of his
sermon, "boo-woo-woo," went the bul.
The parson paused, looked up at the
singing seats, and with grave face
said
II would thank the musicians not to
tune their instruments during service
1T annoys me very much.'
The people stared and the minister
went on.
"Boo-woo-woo." went the bull again.
as he drew little nearer to the church.
The parson paused again, and ad-
dressed the choir
II really wish the singers would not
tune their instruments while / am
preaching"
The congregation Uttered, for they
| knew what the real cause of the dis
! turbance was.
| The parson went on again, and had
just started good, when "boo-woo,
WOO" came from Mr.. Bull.
The minister paused once more, ant
exclaimed:
IL have twice requested the music ian'
! in the gallery not 10 tune their instru-
ments during the sermon. | now par
ticularly request that Mr.. L.--wii
not tune his double bass organ while
am preaching" J#ttt
