A Ride in the Sewers of Paris.

But few of the Americans who visit Paris
know Of the opportunity which may be offered
them TO visit the very extensive sewerage of
Paris, and examine its system. Receiving cards
Of invitation, we stationed ourselves near the
| tower Of st. Jacques, at an iron trap door. and
the party were soon called upon to descend
Not knowing Of the modus operdndi of getting
into these dark regions below, we all felt as II
we were going to "take leap in the dark -
But what was our surprise to hnd elegantly ft-
ted mp carriages on cars lighted by four large
| globe lamps on each corner. These cars cons
tanned IL persons each, aud there we're FIVE Of
them, making 60 persons, which is the limit to
the number invited at one time. or course our
ride was limited to the large tunnel or main
sewer, which was about 20 feet high aud Is
feet wide. The cars run on si1-foot gauge
track, and are pushed on a down. grade by two
men for each car.
The water sewerage or drain is below, and
is from six to eight feet deep, SO that small
boats can be towed all the way, aud nas down
grade enough to make quite a current Werode
by this train of cars across the Boulevard Sevas-
topool, to the head of Rue Rivoi, alongside of
the palace and Tuilleries gardens, to the Place
Concord, distance of more than three miles,
where we disembarked into boats and sailed
under the whole length of Rue Royale coming
out by the side of Church of the Madeline. All
along this main channel are openings or trap
cross streets, which are marked by the names
OF the streets on the side oft the tunnel. BY this
means complete ventilation is secured. On the
top of the tunnel are two large iron pipes in
which pass through the fresh water supply for
the city-one from the aqueducts and artesian
wells, the other from the water pumped up from
the river Seine.
There are also three lines of telegraph wires
enclosed in lead pipes. 1t is well known that
these great sewers are built for a double pur.
pose, and one is for the underground transpor.
tation of troops in the time of an insurrection
or war. By this means Napoleon can transport,
secretly, troops from one part of the city to the
other, suddenly appearing from the ground at
almost any point. The telegraph would also be
serViceable on such occasions. Besides this
navgabe sewer, which is fitted up especially for
pleasure trips, there smaller sewers running
under 25 of the principal Streets and the whole
length of the sewerage ofParis, large and small,
including that under construction, was in form
ed, is over 300 miles in length, and by these
means the drainage of Paris is effected on
magnificent scale, and far surpasses the subter-
ranean wonders Of ancient Rome.-Pdris Cor,

CROSSING WITH THE BUFFALo.-Mr. r.
Wicklif, of Lexington KY, crossed his
stock with the buffalo. Having obtained a
fine three-quarter buffalo bull he bred his
COWS to him for several years. He found
the quarter bloo1s to be larger than either
parent-made excellent beef, hardy long
lived oxen, with great strength and activity;
and. though he did not test the milking
qualities of the cows, he found that their
calves that run with the cows were tatter
than those of the common stock. MI ..
p. Swain, of BronxviIle, N. Y, had half
breed COW, which he lately killed and-the
editor of the AgricultUralist dined upon the
beef, and pronounced it superior to the
common breeds. Mr.. Swain has a quarter
buffalo heifer which so far resembles the
JERSEYS that be thinks the breed must have
originated from a cross with the buffalo,
Buffaloes have been taken to England. The
animal is thoroughly domestic and the sur
prise is that no persistent efforts have been
made to improve our stock by admixtare of
buffalo blood

MANNERS AND MoRALs.-What is the difference
between good manners and good morals2 Will
good manners make a man? or must he be
possessed of good morals also. If good man
ners be genuine they are good morals, for they
are founded on the law of justice and kindness.
But there is much base coin in circulation in
the sphere of manners, and there are many pre-.
tensions 10 goodness therein which cannot be
admitted. There is not a thing so offensive as
a false heart refusing 10 a polite manner, to do
a simple aud easy act of kindness. 1t reminds
us Of one lady abusing another in the most
ceremonious style, curtesying with great dignity
but at the same time, with a contemptuous sheer
upon the lips, and most reverential "madam"
upon the tongue. Most ladies would prefer a
corporeal onset. But they know oneanothers s
feelings and that this mock civility is the most
CALLING and effectual vengeance they can take.
The good manners Of many people are somewhat
Of this sort; heartlessness clothing itself n the
garb of kindness, and pretending to feel deeply
for you, when it wishes you to Coventry or Jeri-
cho. Now, this we call bad mapners, and yet
men, who can ply this part well, and show you
ont" as they say at court, are supposed to be
very accomplished, finished gentleman. After
all, it comes to this that good morals are good
manners You will find no better standard for
manners than this. But still, there are degrees
of goodness; there is a more or less graceful
manner Of showing it; and the more graceful is
better than the less graceful. The best manners
therefore, are the more graceful good morals.
We cannot admit any falsehood or heartlessness
into the idea of good manners. These invaria-
bly, deform them, however pure they may seem;
invariably de6le them, how beautiful soever,
how graceful soever the air which they employ,
or the dress they put on.

GRANT AS AN EQUEsTRIAN.-The father of Gen.
eral Grant, who is attempting the life of his
son in the New York Ledger, gives the following
anecdote illustrative of the equestrian powers
of the General when boy:
Once, when he was boy, q show came along,
in which there was a mischieVous pony, trained
to go round the ring like lightning, and was
expected to throw any boy that attempted to
ride him. will any boy come forward and ride
this pony2'shouted the ring master. Ulysses step
ped forward and mounted the pony. The per.
formance began. Round and round and round
the ring went the pony, faster and faster, maxi
ing the greatest effort to dismount the rider.
But Ulysses sat as steady as if be had grown 10
pony's back. Presently out came q large mon
key and sprang up behind Ulysses. The people
sat up great shout of laughter, and on the po-
ny ran, but it all produoedno effect the rider.
Then the ringmaster made the monkey jump
up on to Ulysses shoulders, and with hands
holding on to his hair. At this there was an
other and sill louder shout, but not muscle
. tremor of his nerves. few more rounds and
the ringmaster gave up-he had come q cross a
boy the pony and the monkey both could not
dismount."

The TEETH OF A HoRsE.-At FIVE years of age
horse has forty teeth-twenty -four molar or
jaw teeth, twelve incisors or front teeth, be-
tween the molars and incisors; but usually want
ing in the mare. AT birth only the nippers or
middle incisors appear. Alta year old the incis,
ors are all visible on the first or milk set. Be-
fore three years, the permanent nippers have
come through. At four years old, the permAn-
eut dividers next to the nippers are cut. At FIVE
the mouth is perfect, the second set of teeth
having been completed. At six, the hollow un-
der the nippers called the mark, has disappeared
from the nippers, and diminished in the dividers.
At seven the mark has disappeared from the
dividers, and the next teeth or corners, are lev
Ell, though showing the mark, At eight the
mark has gone from the corners, and the horse
is said to be aged After this time indeed good
authorities say after Eve years, the age of a
horse can only be co5jectured. But the teeth
gradually change their form, the incisors be-
coming round, oval, and then triangular.
Dealers sometimes bishop the teeth of old horses
that is, scope them out To initiate the mark /;
but this can be known by the absence of the
white edge of enamel which always surrounds
the real mark, by the shape of the teeth and
other marks of age about the animal.-RUrGI

Let tax payers read over this brief list of ar
ticles, says the N. H. Patriot, and consider
how many of them are proper to be supplied to
mmebers of the Senate or, rather, whether il
is not theft for a Senator to take single one of
them. Yet more than hundred thousand dol.
lars were paid, during the last Congress, for
such articles furnished to about fifty men and
all to be paid for by the over>taxed people
Indeed, members of Congress have everything
they want, the public expense and it is known
that some of them thus steal thousands of dollars
Old Thad. Stevens admitted this the other day.
In the debate upon the subject of supplying
members with stationery, be said "some mem
bers procured under the name of stationery
pantaloons, shirts and shaving soap enough to
last them for years. Some members had run
up their account for stationery to nearly thouI-
and dollars"

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

In the season Of darkness aud sorrow,
When hope has fed far, far away,
When we know Of no joy for tomorrow,
And feel the despair Of to-day
When your friends Of the past have deserted,
And at you their hatred is hurled,
Just because you have fallen in station
Never care-'tis the way of the world
When death at the last would be welcome,
And you think, with heart-brOken sigh,
"Ah soon will life's battle be over,
How sweet Il will then be to die r.
When the flowers of love have all withered,
And the shaft Of black malice Is buried,
When your heart Is all sad and forsaken--
Never miud-'tis the way of the world
When fortune again smiles upon you,
And the frowns of your "fTiends" disappear,
And the parasites flock all around you,
With words of false welcome 10 cheer
'Tis best to receive them as ever,
And not with the lip of scorn curled,
For they merely have followed their instincts,
And shown you the way of the world

PoLIrENEss.-It is impossible to be polite
without being discreet. Discretion renders a
man master of himself, of his words, of his &C.
tions, of bis looks, and of the motions of bis
countenauce so that nothing can escape him
to break through decorum, or to give offence.
A discreet man distinguishes perfectly the rank
character, and genius of others, and the bent
of their inclination and interest aud be there
by discovers in what particular he may safely
RELY on their confidence, and upon what occa-
sion it is prudent to be mysterious. He is par
ticulary careful never to eEter into their secrets
or meddle 10 their concerns without being solic.
ted so to do, which is an excellent precaution
to live peaceAbly, aud to avoid those inconven-
fences to which indiscreet persons subject them
selves, by intruding into the concerns of others.

THE FLY.-The fly has bis uses. He serves
to keep bald headed sinners awake at church
on a warm day, so that their unregenerate
hearts may be touched by the preached word.
