TEE PARIS RInTR

The riots, for which Rochefnrtts ar-aaf
was the ptetext, appear to bave spant their
force. Flourens has fled and esvera1 bun-
dred OF MS followers a.o In pr1son. The
popu1ace are naturally still excited bat open
resistance to tho authorities has been sban-
doned: 1he police, aided by the show of
unused oayohets' we're strong enough to
DIVE the rioters from their barricades and
to establish order.
1t is q remarkable fnct that, with all Tho
bravsdo Of the Red Republican leaders in
speech and in print, with the crowds Of
men and boys at their heels, with 60 much
willingness to Is demonstrate tbere has

TIE SHIP, LOCOMOTIVE, AHD WAGON.

The House Of Representatives, year
ago, appointed select committee to in
quire into and report the causes why ship
building has ceased in the United States.
This committee has reported w.lat every
iodv knew. thst the tariff hns SO increased |
the cos; Of every article entering into the
construction Of ships, both wooden and
iron, that no ship can bebuia in the United |
states. The remedy they propose is not
the obrious and natural oDe Of removing
This prohibitory tax, but it is TO pay out Of.
the National Treasury to erery builder Of
occau.goipg Slips the following sums Of
money:
For every wooden sailing vessel, s. per
tom on every wooden md iron sailing YES
sci, $40 per ton; woodsn steamers, $40
PER ton; composite steamers, sla Per ton
iron smiling vessels, SIP per ton; iron
steamers, SIS per ton. All articles used
on ship board. including coal, to be free
from ta1. In addition 70 this, the owners
Of American vessels am to receive from
the Treasury bounty q from $3.50 to 81
per ton while the vessels are adoat. Ihe
1uasine engines on ocan-going steamers
are to be pald for in part out Of tho NR-
This is fbs remedy vhish the select CON-
mittee propose. It is without parallel even
in the countless abuses, e1tortions, and on.
pressions which marx every page Of the tax
laws enacted By Congress. It is IN epor-
nifty which can admit OF no explanation,
save as b1ibo to one class OF Representa-
tives TO vote for some othsr tax euornitv
sought by others.
The entire foreign conuerce Of the
United States is bat tide comparsd with
the internal traffic. For eF1y ton Of home
or foreign production b,ousht to and car-
lied from the United States By ocean veg
sels, there are loo tuus novsd on tho rau-
road. the river steamers, Ind the farmers
wagon. The value Of the an,url produc-
tons Of the United States, tie manufac-
turcs, the products Of agriculture, Of the
mines, and Of this forest, do not fall much
abort, If at ali, Of 5l5, ,Ooo. .0oo, 100. The
entire value Of the annual import, and ex-
ports, including gold, do not exceed
S7o0,00o, 900. The ocean transportation,
therefore, is but triaing, as compared with
tho internal movement, and way sbodd the
United States contribute ont Of tho Eeioua1
Treasury, from money raised b, ta1atita on
the food, clothing, furniture, and inp1e-
ments Of forty millions Of peope, to ielp
capitalists in Boston, New York, and Pills.

THE OLD "KNox MANSION" = 'Dennetto
sends some fine stereoscopic views of scenery
at Rockland and vicinity, One of these rep
resents the Knox Mansion at Thomaston.
The following description of this historic
building, accompanying the picture, will be
found of interest:
Its pristine magnifcence and grandeur have
departed; but it stands as not ashamed of its
history. The modern utilitarian spirit has
laid ruthless hands upon this venerable place
and has sacrificed the quiet, antique air which
should have hallowed it forever to the de-
nands of bustling commerce. You see before
you the spars OF vessel and you awake to the
consciousness that the Generals shaven lawn
has become the Uttered outskirts OF a ship
yard. The common laborer has invaded the
very mansion itself, desecratng with bench
and plane the rooms to which the aristecrat-
ic Mrs. Knox admitted such one only in the
capacity of a menial. He piles his rough lum-
Der and drops vulgar shavings and chips,
where once the proud duke and the noble
General walked in conscious dignity. Horace
was more successful than they; for, though
they might have hated the prefane yeoman,
they could not keep him at distance.
but, as we gazed upon this historic struc-
ture, the mind involuntariy forgets the pres
ent sacrilegious usurpation and recalls the al
ulOSt OOllefdLeu SpleuuOr WHICH felgneQ mere
in unrivalled fulness. We imagine before us
the revolutionary hero, who retreated to this
wilderness from the cares and excitement of
a great war and, with pleasure, we review his
career, so eventful and honorable. He had
commenced in lite as a bookseller in Boston,
and although he married into the family of
General Cages Provincial Secretary, he had
espoused the cause OF the colonies and enter
ed into it with youthful ardor. He was 25
years of age at the time of the battle of Bun
ker Hill. On the evening before that event,
he went out of Boston to join, as volunteer,
the forces which were engaged in fortifying
the city. For distinguished services the fol-
lowing winter, he received special honors.
He was made Chief of Artillery; afterwards,
advancing in rank as he became eminent for
ability, he followed and aided Washington
till the close or the Revolution. He was Sc
lected to receive the sword of Cornwallis at
Yorktown. He was our first Secretary of
War, and after serving six years under Wash
ington's administration (he had filled the Of
fee five years under the Confederation he
resigned his seat in the Cabinet and emigrat-
ed to Thomaston. A part of the Waldo pat
ent he acquired by marriage; the other four
ffths he purchased.
The mansion which he erected here at
cost of $4,000, according to Eatons history,
was equal in magnificence to any in the Com
monwealth. Its hospitality and appointments
OF were truly regal. One by one the marks OF
its prncely elegance have been allowed 10 oe'
cav. Time has bereft it OF piazza, balcony,
and all its elaborate decorations, and IL now
presents a spectacle of neglect and desolation.

"A gust of wind on Tuesday, the 18th ult.,
carried a tin sign representing a gold pen
from store in Detroit up into the air, and
in its descent the point of the sign penetrat-
ed the back of dog, impaling him to death.
1t is common to hear of death by the sword,
by stroke of lightning, and by sunstroke; but
such a quietus by the stroke of pen is
something which those who WELD it have
never attempted.

DIR. Osgood says that Americans gener-
ally are agreed on one point-that they will
not consent to anything that looks like
degradation, nor be mixed up with low COM
pany, or unclean usages. People in Wash
ington ought to take out their naturalization
papers Immediately, for very clearly the doc
tor does not recognize them as Americans
