WORDS PROM PARIs.-We have re-
ceived private letter from Paris, dated
18TH February. which says the winter
has been gloomy one, with no better
prospects for the spring. Paris is dull
and the people are suffering. Numbers
OF unrented stores and vacant apart.
mcnts meet the eye on every side. The
shop-keopers are very much depressed; {;
they are without stock and with but
very little credit; and even if their
shelves were filed with goods, where are
the purchasers? None but the few stray
Americans that f1ntter around for awhile.
merely giving them chance to keep up
appearances Of business. The multitude
are o'amoring for ruler; they want
strong Government, and. moro than NIL.
they want to bring the seat of govern.
ment back to Paris. The present state
OF things cannot continue to exist: the
excitement for republic, for which the
working cinsses fought SO desperately, is
fast fading away; ~ decided re action has
taken place, and they are again longing
for all that pomp and show which they
have been educated to; they want once
moro to see the Champs Elysees thronged
with giided c1nipages, and the Bonle-
Yards enlivened with the gathering hoofs
OF the cuirassieur People are getting
away from Paris; there are strong signs
OF difficulties approaching, aud strong
fleet Is keeping IL watch in the channel.
Many think that Napoleon will mako an

a witness OF recent shooting ARRAY
IN Memphis. Tenn, utterly refused to
testify IN the case, and was committed
to JAIL for contempt Of court. \ re-
porter OF the A r0tanche visited him there
and to him the witness, whose name is
Perkins, told the following story nc.
counting for his eccentric conduct:
When he was about eighteen years old,
and at college, his chum shot another
student while in fit Of anger, and he,
Perkins, was compelled TO testify in the
case, which resulted in verdict OF will
full murder, and his young friend was
hanged. While kneeling beside tho
dishonored corpse Of his room mate he
took solemn oath never again to testi.
fy in any case where histestimony might
possibly cause tho extreme penalty Of
the law to be inflicted upon any person. I"
lie hns kept this oath religiously, and
now says that, rather than break it. he
will remain in Jail for life
\ doctor, down in Nottingham, n. II. ,
received Il lettur asking advice, the
other day, which contained two stamps
Tor return postage. After he had
licked" one Of the stamps, he was
seized with u convulsivc action of the
heart, and told his wife hc was poisoned.
The good lady, to satisfy herself on this
point, clicked" the other stamp, and
was prostrated several days by the cxpc-
riment. The doctor thinks it was a
South Carolina Ku Klux plot to annihi
late him, and warns the people to be-
ware.

The men were on "half pay" having
nothing to do, except to vote for the

The comical freaks of the Japanese
are exciting much amusement at Wash.
ington. They eat ics cream and hard
boiled eggs by way Of light midnight
supper. Their favorite amusement is to
walk up stairs and ride down in the ele-
vator, and they wander from one hotel to
another, under the impression that all
are parts OF one stupendous whole cara
vansery. Lutterly, they have affected
the civilized dress; but even here
their peculinriti.s manifest themselves
IN boots several sizes too small and gloves
many sizes too large. In their new rig
they bear such striking likeness to the
ordinary fifteenth amendment as to be
frequently mistaken for servants. At
their late reception Iwakura's Young
nephew was 80 mistaken, and ordered by
Congressional guest to bring some re-
treatments Tor his wife. The youngster
Imagining this to be high mark Of
honor, complied. and was rewarded with

a curious example Of Chinese imita-
tlvencss Is reported from Rucho, q town
about 100 miles West of Pekin. It
seems that the Rev. Isaac Pierson, a
Christian missionary, preaohing to the
people, seeing signs of disorder, quietly
Withdrew FROM the place where he wns
speaking. He was followed by q rab-
BILE of fellows, who stoned him, knocked
him down. and otherwise shamefully
handled him. He reached home with
soiled and torn clothing, and blood run
ning freely from wounds OH his hend
and face. The good man, evidently,
could not have been treated much worse
If he had been Chinaman, timidly
shrinking through the streets of the
Christian city OF San Francisco.

THE LONGEST BRIDGE IN THE WoRLD.
The Tensas and Mobile Bridge, or
bridger, on the Mobile and MONTGOMERY
Railroad, extends from Tensas Station.
on the Mobile and Montgomery Road, to
the city OF Mobile, distance of fifteen
miles. crossing both Mobile and Tensas
Rivers. and including ten draws, one for
each of the navigable channels into
which tue rivers are divided. The bridge
itself is constructed of wood, but its pill
lars or supports are iron cylinders, which
rest on solid surface OF wooden piles
driven down evenly with the bottom of
the stream and the mud of tho interven-
ing morasses. It has been three years
in the course of construction, at u cost
OF about 81, 500, 600, and now that it has
been successfully completed, it is per-
hHps The longest structure OH the globe.

Tho remains Of mastodon have re.
Gently been discovered in tho swamp
near Otisville, Orange County, New
York. Nearly al the bones havo been
dug out, and the skeleton, when put to-
gether, will be fourteen feet high and
twenty-five feet long. The contents of
the stomach were also discovered, and
found to consist of very large leaves and
long blades of strange grass. from one
inch to three inches wide.
ANOTHER RAILRoAD.-A bill for n
broad gauge railroad from Philadelphia
to New York has passed the New Jersey
Assembly. This may yet end in another
line through from Baltimore to New
York.
A Connecticut rat, during tho late cold

palniuiiy sensitive as to the danger
Wnlcn threatens 1t on the side of the
bonapartes. Nay. moro. It seems to
,mpiy thas the danger is not imaginary,
put real. MacMahon is still at tho head
OF the army; and while changes are made
IN oil directions, the Fronch army re-
mans substantially what it was under
the empire The general feeling is, that
while MacMahon might at any moment
remove Prcsident Thicrs. it is not in the
power OF President Thiers to dispense
with the services of the oommandcr.in-
chief. ln France, things are not vet
quite as they should be. We are most
anxious to see the republic prosper and
take root. But what with the daily exc
ontions OF Communists, the inexplicabla
ana 1rultless coqnetting with royalty, and
the awful dread OF the return Of the
bonapartes, we are not encouraged to
ocheve that France has yet found her
goal. There must be- more sorrow be-.
lore there is rest, peace and prosperity.

South American papers say that on in
surrection OF number Of slaves hnp.
pcned on the 9th of February, near Rio
de Janeiro. It seems that the slaves. in
toxicatcd by the villainous native drink
OF caxache, and armed with bill-hooks,
attacked the residences of Senhora
Ieixeirh Cortes aud Banjo, near tho vii
lage OF Sapucain, in the parish of Ap-
Pnrecida, and made desperate attempt
TO force the heavy wooden doors of the
houses, IN order to murder their masters.
y lew shots from revolver caused the
drunken blacks to flee. and telegraphic
despatch to the capital brought q large
posse OF mounted policemen to tic
scene of the revolt. Half of the slaves
were captured within few days, and al
most all the others within week.

TRAGEDY AT THE DINNER TAD1E.-In
New York. on Monday, German named
Freyert, while intoxicated, shot his wife
ut the dinner table, while surrounded by
their little children. The act was thought
accident, and not design. The ball from
the pistol entered her mouth, and taking
backward and upward direction,
crashed through her skull into her brain.
She fell dead on the threshold of the
room. Frevert for moment seemed in
capable OF comprchending the extent Of
his act; but us he woke up to the con-
scionsness that he had killed his wife, he
became distracted. He bent over her
fnce and kissed her over aud over again
and called on her to come back to life.
Hesubseqnontly II became ravipg maniac.

Mr.. A. Worthen, the State Gcolopist
OF Illinois. accounts for the presence of
tonds in rocks in the following manner:
The toad seeks shelter in crevice for
the winter, there he remains in dor

ping OF water holding carbonate OF lime
ID solution seals him in completely.
Here he remains until released by the
hammer Of the workman.
A curious incident took place recently
at Paris theatre. The actor who
played 'Albert," the blind artist, in
L'A0angle. was tnkon suddenly ill, and
the character was assumed by another
who was compelled to read the part,
manuscript in hand. The absurdity of
a person afflicted with loss OF sight read
ing affecting speeches may be imagined.
