TIE ART OF ExAsPERATIoN.--S Some peo-
pie possess an unconscious art of exaspera-
ton which is almost thing to admire. We
may suffer from it more than words can tell,
and yet there is fascination in its fine per-
lection; and there is feeling of inferiority on
the part of the sufferer that fills the soul with
envy. But the admiration and envy are the
after-surge. In the presence of the artist,
that is the tormentor, there is o1ly anguish
and indignation.
We had occasion. once to make some in
quiries at the advertising desk of The Daily
Idiot. We suppose the time occupied by our
| conversation with the clerk at the desk was
not more than two minutes and thirty five
seconds, yet the memory of these two min
utes and thirty-ive seconds-be they more ,or
less-was season of trial and temptation
of smothered passion and resentment; of
madness and misery, followed by remorse
We did not want to kill the gentleman on the
other side of the counter. No! we are nat.
urally OF quiet disposition, with ian uDcon-
que1able. bias against murder. We merely
felt gentle desire to crawl through the little
glass window at which we were talking, seize
the nape of that long, unlovely meek, and in
continuently kick the advertising cleIk of The
Daily IDIOT
And pray, what had he done, you ask. II
Well, he had "done" nothing, we suppose
nor had he said much. TIE Subject matter
of discourse was entirely commonpls &C. sim
pie business affair; nothing of an out-of-the
way or exciting nature was said on either
side; an OBJ erver might have failed to notice
anything that was at all uncourteous in look
or language. 1t was only that irigid air OF
insolence; that way OF making an honest
man feel like a pickpocket; that inimitable
art of evaporation!
We have often wondered how such people
| get along in the world We once cherished
a theory that their days of prosperity are soon
numbered, a brief basking in the sunshine OF
success, and then they are cut down and per-
ish like the flower of the field that withereth
a few years at the most, of irritating AFRO
gance, and the world wearies of them, and
filings them aside forever But we were mis-
taken. Alas! no such moral can be pointed
to the tale. They live and thrive, have their
salaries increased, rise to places of greater
dignity as well as profit. 1t is an inscrutabe
dispensation. We may not be spared, sensi-
tive fellow sufferers! We may not even kick
except in mild, netamorphic way: we can
only min2le our plants and our sympathies,
We can only cherish a vain wish that we

DOUBLE SHEET-THREE CENTS.

Part of the afternoon was taken up In the
relation of Sunday-school experience from
pastors, superintendents, and teachers. These
exercises manifested the most delightful unity
among Christians. The recital of incidents,
suggestions, and experience was profoundly
interesting. ~. |f.l tfu
The evening session was the elimination of

The subject of Temperance in Sunday-schools
was ably discussed till a late hour. eht
Third Days Proceedings. -D
The convention this morning united with the
Sunday schools and citizens of Allentown In the
dedication of beautiful monument erected In
the cemetery to the memory of Tilghman H.
Meyer, fret President of the Lehigh County
Sunday-school Association. At s o'clock the
schools assembled In four of the principal
churches and were addressed by leading mem
bers of the convention. ..-t.L
A grand procession was then formed and
marched to the cemetery. The exercises around
the monument consisted of singing by the as
sembled multitudes, prayers and addresses in
English and German. At the close OF the SER
vices the grave and monument were literally
covered with floral offerings. No regular ses-
sion of the convention was held this morning.
At o'clock it will reassemble, when the exer-
cises will consist Of blackboard exercises and
election of officers, with other business. q.
1t Is expected that the President, Rev. IT. A.
Peltz, will accept of the office of State Secre-
tary, directing his whole time and talents TO the
promotion of the Sunday-school work. The
convention will adjourn sine dieito-night, after
one of the most glorious Sunday-schOol gather

MORE HORRORS OF CAPTURED PARIS

The same witness thus describes his own es-
cape-"On Saturday, Ferre, a member of the
Commune and Delegate of the Public Safety,
came to the prison. and summoning all those
who were under sentence of penal servitude,
told them that they were all free. Arms and
uniforms were then given TO them, and imme-
diately commenced scene of slaughter OF the
suspected prisoners, among whom were 90 gen.
darmes, who were all killed. Five other gen.
darmes in the infirmary escaped. About z
o'clock, the newly-armed guards being either
drunk or wearied with their bloody work, one
of the warders of the prison, Langevin, opened
the cell doors and invited the prisoners to make
q rush to save their lives. Acting upon this ad-
vice, M. Evrard and many others got through
the gates, and dispensing immediately, sue
ceeded In effecting their escape"
THE REVOLT AsCRIBED TO MENTAL DISEASE.
M. Francsque Sarcey reports in the GduloiS
a conversation he has had With ian illHstrious
physician who had left Paris for few hours,
and was about to return" and who expressed
the opinion that one of the chief causes of the
terrible scenes which accompanied the final sup
preston of the Communist outbreak was a
contagious mental alienation" The minds of
the Parisians he said, were gradually unhinged
by the privations of the siege. The revolt of
the 18th of March gave the last blow to brains
which were already shaken, and at length the
greater part of the population went raving
are full of similar examples.
Women are, under such circumstances,
fercer and more reckless than men. This
1s because JnelT nervous system Is more Q0Vol-
oped, their brains are weaker, and their sensi-
bilities more acute than those of the stronger
sex; and they are consequently far more
dangerous and do much more harm.
None of them knew exactly what they were
fighting for; they were possessed by one of the
various forms of the religious mania-that which
impelled the Jansenists to torture themselves,
with a strange delight In pain of the acutest
kind. The men who threw themselves
on the bayonets of the soldiers in paroxysm of
passion we're seen ten minutes after utterly
PROSTATE and begging for mercy. They were no
more towards in the last state than they were
heroes in the irst-they were simply madmen.
HORRIBLE ASPECT OF TIE CEMETERY
The Cemetery of Pere-la-C -Chaise presents
deplorable sight; the resting places of the dead
are much defiled; the monuments have been
greatly injured by the firing; cofins have been
broken, and the remains lie scattered over the
ground. You may measure the dead not by
numbers but by the rod. They lie in double
tier on the grass, powdered over with q coating
of lime. There are many women among them
and faces the ferocity of which makes one sick
to look upOn.

Ravages OF the Yellow Fey

Ravages of the Yellow Fever.
A private letter, dated at the city of Buenos
Ayres on the I'd of May, gives the following ac-
count OF the ravages OF the plague in that
The fever is still raging awfully, the mortality
reaching 1856 per day, with very little decrease
since last communicated with you. The Gov
eminent has prolonged the holidays until spring,
hoping to allay the terrible spread of the
disease. With the approach of the cold wea-
ther we expected tnat the plague would
gradually disappear, but finding that there
ber of deaths, we await with great fear the
coming of spring, and then, God only knows
what will become of us. Large numbers of peo-
pie will probably return at the close of the holi-
days, and then We also expect an increase in
the mortality. The fever hospitals are literally
crammed with the ill-fated victims of the terri
BILE epidemic. The Sisters of Charity, who are
indefatigable in the performance of their offices
TO the sick and dying, day after day surrender
some of their corps to the fell disease, and many
of them though not afflicted with it, actually
fall through weakness, and have to be carried to
their converts after many hours of fatigue. The
Order of the Christian Brothers have little
relief from their offices of burying the dead and
striving to impart some consolation to those
dying in temporary hospitals. Many of those
Brothers have also fallen victims of the fever
while fulfilling their noble duties. The clergy
men of every denomination have proved them
selves heroic, and full of Christian charity in
administering to the plague-stricken, and in
seeking relief for the numberless widows and
orphans who, fearful of their imminent fate, not
knowing when they may be prostrated by the
epidemic, still linger in misery within the un-
happy city.
Dead-cars rattle over the pavement at all
hours of the night, awakening to terror those
who resided along their route. Several rude
collins at time were thrust into the dead-cars,
and rolled away in haste to a huge grave
termed outside the PHerta Mobile. One of the
most heart-rending of scenes was that presented
by many wives, mothers, and husbands, who
begged admittance into the hospitals to learn
the fate of their loved ones. As no permis
sion to enter could be given to them, and
the hospital officials were too much occupied
with their duties to the patients to attend to any
outside matter, those people had to depart tC
their wretched homes, bearing with them theil
agoniziDg doubts as to the safety of their Tela
tiVes. In ine 1t is a city of death and tears
deserted by all that could possibly hasten from
its fever-tainted streets and alleys, and sorrow
full in the loneliness which overhangs its parks
gardens, churches, and all that was fair, cheer
full, and life-like few weeks ago.
