"a New York letter to the Philadelphia
Ledger says: " The news that Father Hya-
csnthe has embarked for the United States, is
creating great sensation among people who
are especially concerned in religious contro-
syersy. As soon as the Pere sets his foot ashore,
iyou may be sure there will be q dead set on
thepart Of certain parties to get hold OF him,
in order to make lion of him, New York

bat h stfll a priest of the Roman Catholic
Church, IN good standing, it is difficult to rin-
derstand how anybody, not Of that church,
can, as they. do, expect him to occupy their
ppipits, though he may be persuaded, perhaps,
to make an address at the Cooper Institute"
The new execndonefs Of Paris is opposed

patching criminals" He says the best way of
executing them is to strangie them as the old
Yenetians and Spaniards did, by seating them
on chair and putting around their necks
rope, turned by q fellow in the passage outside
> until they are dead. He has presented on the
subject, memorial to the minister of justice,
in which he refers TO the many illustrious men
who have been executed in this manner, and
none Of whom manifested any dread Of that
mode of death, while nowadays nearly all
those who are to mount the scafold manifest
y the most abject fear. The minister of Justice
has referred the memorial to the senate. ir'
The New York Oxygen Gas Company are
now manufacturing from the manganates OF
soda 25, ,0Oa cubic feet of Illuminating gas day.
The peculiarities or this method of manufac-
t1Ire are these: The manganates may be re-
peatedly decomposed and recomposed without
any diminution of their power, and sufficient
force to drive the air through the .retorts. and
neat enough to generate steam for the compo-
sition Of the manganates constitute the main
expense of the process. The light is white,
approaching sunlight; no current Of air can
blow it out, and it does not rob the atmos-
phere of the oxygen. In Paris 1t has already
been used for lighting the Court OF the Tuiie-
ries, the Hotel de Vile, the Theatre Gaieties

1t is pleasant to read an authoritative de-
NAL Of the death of Baron Hausmann. His
name has become Identified with the recon-
struction of Paris under the Second Empire,
and 1t was under his direction and superyi-
sion that all those vast improvements which
have almost made Paris q new city were ac-
complished. Baron Hansmann is by birth C.
Partisan, and is now about sixty years old To
aid in securing the dynasty Of the Emperor, it
was necessary to reconstruct Paris. All the
San, culottes were employed in building
{. streets, and had no time for revolutions. The
magnificent avenues Of Paris owe their COM
pletion to Baron Hausmann, under whose SUI
peryision, also, the Louvre was completed
the Hotel Dlen rebuilt, the new opera house,
one of the finest structures In the city, erected
I together with numerous other structures which
are now all objects of special interest to the
visitor and of particular pride to the parlsials
