territorial government in that far country.

Those who wish to know
what fastilifeisin Paris, should
read this book, for a more
faitMule picture 1 wasoi never
drawn oftheIiolliesian and crimes
oflthe gayestieity in1the world.
There is no place where sin
end vice assume such beagti.
tul guises, or where so much
care is taken to make life one
round OF last and reckless dissi-
patton as in the gay capital of
France, Our author evidently
knows whereof he writes, and
draws his pictures in the most
glowing colors. He carries US
into all classes Of society from
the family of the Emperor to
the garrett of the pretty Girls
ette., We listen to the glorious
musicof the Grand Opera, and
to the ravishing strains of the
GanCan at tn M&bille, or the
Gloserie. We are admitted to
the parlors of the Duchess, and
watch the spreading of,tha So
cial plague-spot over the fair
fame of the nobleodame; and
chat with Cora Pearl and her
Sister Lorettes in their .gor-
geous apartments. All the
trickeries, knaveries, foiiies,
crimes, and the dark and ter,
rible mysteries Of the wicked
City, are portrayed in this vol
ume with a startling truthful,
ness. The reader is thrilled.
fascinated, charmed, and finds
1t impossible to lay. the book
aside until it is completed.
Since the publication of the
"Wandering Jew," no more
powerful and thrilling work
upon this subject has ever ap,
peared; but unlike that book,
this one is of permanent value,
for besides lis chapters, relat-
ing to the darker side of Paris,
it makes us fully acquainted
with the bright, beautiful City,
so attractive to an American.
1t abouDds in solid and useful
information, which is so thor
oughly interviewer with bright
and sparkling pictures Of the
glories and greatness of this
wonderful City, that we do not
wonder that Paris draws so
Americans to it every
year. There is no class of
Americans to which this Book
does not appeal either by
its solid worth or BY its power

ThrillingScene.


Atathe, Illinois Hospital for
the Insane, located in Jackson
ville,a mostappalling, exciting,
and thrilling scene was wit
messed by, many persons, April
13. An insane woman in some
way escaped from the apart
ments in which she had been
confined, rashed up the stair
lway,t tleaped upon the roof, and
dashed away to the end of the
building, swung herself over
the edge of the root and drop,
ped to a cornice, six or eight
feet below. Upon this cornice,
al foot wide, and seventy.fiye
feet above the ground, the
wild maniac walked back and
forth for a quarter Of an hour.
Men rushed to the roof and
passed a rope to her, and tried
to persuaded her to fasten it
about her. body, but in yain.-
Below, beds were brought and
placed, to break the fall, should
She leap from herperilous po-
lsition.D After remaining 4 on
the cornice nfiteen minutes.
seemingly unconscious of all
danger, she swung off, and
holding by the cornice until
her feet touched cap Of the
fifth story window, she let 60
the cornice, and, wonderful to
relate, alighted erect and
steady on the cap, which was
but a foot wide and four feet
long. There, at that fearful
and dizzy height, she stood
gazing about for quarter OF
an hour. Then she seized firm
bly the rope lowered to her, and
leaped into the air. The strong
arms above gradually lowered
her, and when she was about
thirty feet fromoIthe ground
she relaxed cher hold and fell
upon the beds below, and, al
though stunned was taken up
uninjured. ,sal,s ..5.
