The roll has been called in Paris,
and the dead, wounded and missing
counted up, with the remarkable re.
suit of showing 10000 men, women
and children slaughtered in the sup.
preston of the Commune, and co..
600 prisoners taken. We may we'll
doubt the accuracy of these figures /;
for it is given out that, in addition
to this vast multitude already dis.
posed of, there are SO, 600 COmmun-
lists still hiding, sought after by the
police. The cost of the Communis-
sic insurrection in Paris is in any
case beyond computation in a very
definite manner. The loss in prop.
erty may he fixed with tOlerable &C.
curacy; but the long list of muir
dered prisoners, citizens, slaughter.

banks of the Seine, can never be
satisfactorily filed out. Perhaps
10000, including 5000 women and
children, is a tolerable guess; but
whether it approaches the truth or
not, the fact of its acceptance as &C.
eurate goes far to show how terrible
must have been the carnage and how
indiscriminate the slaughter.

LONDON, July 3l.--the Persian
minister denies explicitly the re-
ports which have been received re.
Gently as to the ravagcs committed
by famine, plague and cholera in
Persia. He says there is undoubt-
eddy a lamentable scarcity of food
among the lower classes, and that
they are fed at the expense of the
government in the cemeteries be-
cause there is in them alone sufli>
Gent room to accommodate the great
crowds of people who appeal to the
authorities for subsistence. Order
is preserved in the cemeteries by
the police, and from this fact has
arisen the story that force has been
employed for the prevention of the
disintermcnt of the dead for use as
food. The minister expresses the
opinion that all the horrible state
ments emanating from his country
are the work of commercial agents.

The Late Thomas Ewing.

In some pleasant Recollections oil
Thomas Ewing in the Cincinnati Com
nercial, Thomas D. Jones the sculptor
revives some phases of the statesman s
home life and character Commissioned,
in 1859, to make bust Of Ewing, Mr..
Jones visited his home at Lancaster,
Ohio, and in the privacy of his studio
spent weeks of curious companionship.
In this pleasant town Mr.. Ewing had
reared himself home resembling in
many respects the family mansion of
Clay, from which it seems to have been
modelled.
"Mr. Ewing always spoke of Henry
Clay with enthusiasm, of Daniel Web
ster with depth of emotional feeling
that almost deprived him of the power
of speech. His anecdotes of Mr.. Web
ster, and his poetical quotations, would
fill a large volume, and yet there was
not the least ostentation in his allusion
to great men or the classics, for both
had been his most intimate companions
| for years Not far from Mr. Ewing's
| family residence was little brick office
or study. 1t was there he mastered the
Spanish language in marvclously short
space of time. He had a real estate
case in st. Louis that involved several
hundred thousand dollars. Nearly, if
not all of the old original records, or
title deeds, were written in Spanish.
lie at once saw the great Importance of
thorough knowledge of language as
we'll as facts. He shut himself up for
six weeks in his little brick study, as he
himself told me, and at the end of that
time he was able TO go into court and
translate those Spanish documents or
records with the best Of them, and
gained his case.
Physically he was man of gigantic
proportions; he was over six feet in
height without his boots, weighed 264
pounds, and was 70 years of age. Ply
sically and mentally for his years, he
had not his peer in Ohio at that time.
He was as straight as an arrow, and
walked with firm and decided step.
While in Lancaster many anecdotes
were related to me of his physical
proves in his younger days. Placing
three empty sugar hogsheads side by
side and leaping out of one into the
other, and clearing the whole without a
scratch. Another of his amusements
was chalking the soles of his boots, in
the old Shatfer tavern, and placing those
chalk marks on the ceiling of the bar
room. But | never heard how high it
was, although | saw it SO years ago. The
high leap was one of his best efforts in
that line. Take two men, full six feet
in hight, and let them elevate tape
line to the extreme height of their hands,
and Mr.. Ewing would clear it at a single
bound. There was one thing l loved
about Mr.. Ewing above all others-there
seemed to be no malice or envy in his
composition. He never expressed in
my presence anything but appreciative
kindness of all his profe, sional breth-
rem, East, West, North, or South. 1t is
only your little minds that imagine the
great are envious, and they are always
looking out for the lion in the gate"

The Prize Steam Canal Boat.

From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
The new steam canal boat Port. By
ron, Capt. Emerson, about which con-
siderable has been said of late, made
her first appearance in our waters yes
terday. The Byron was built at Roches-
ter, and is owned by Toof, Phillips q
Emerson, Of Memphis, Tenn. The in
vention is patented by F. NJ. Mahan
and Primus Emerson. The principle
covered by this patent is certainly
original and ingenious. The Port By
ron is a large class laker. The upper
part of the bow is shaped like an ordi-
nary boat; but below the water line the
bows, instead of rounding away at the
sides to clear the water, come flush out
even with the stem. Between these
two projections the bow is followed
out, giving it the appearance of an i'm
mense scoop shovel, standing upright
with the followed part facing toward
the front. At the bottom this hollow ta-
pers off into flume-way 30 by l2inches,
which runs through the entire length
of the boat, over the floor timbers The
propelling power is an iron paddle
wheel, 10 feet in diameter, with vertical
buckets 30X2S inches. These buckets
or paddles enter and leave the water in
a vertical position, so that no power is
lost in lifting, or striking the water
The wheel is located in the middle of
the boat near the stern, and at the end
of the flume mentioned above. The &C
ton of the wheel draws the water out of
the tlume, which is replenished from
the bow. 1t is expected that the en-
tire amount of water displaced by the
boat will be drawn throu gh the fume-
way by the action of the wheel. If
this is done no swell or wave will be
produced.
The Port Byron, on her passage up
from Lockport, made six miles an hour
with 70 tuns of freight on board. She
was loaded yesterday with $500 bushels
corn, by j. w. Bridgeman & Co, and
started this morning for Now York.
We shall watch the progress Of the
Byron with considerable interest; but
we are of opinion that this trip will
demonstrate that some changes in the
machinery and model are necessary
before she can be called q complete
