This week is the last chance our people viii
have to visit the Exposition. Within ten days the
the work of removing the articles from the Ex-
position will have commenced, and soon the vast
buildings will be stripped Of their glittering mag
nificence and despoiled of every beauteOus charm
which have lent so much of enjoyment and also
afforded instruction and information to over one
hundred thousand persons. Yet the inn
posing display IS viewed every day
and witnessed each night for one month,
will long be Remembered b the old Ad the young
who have thronged the buildings enraptured by
the interesting features and varied attractions OF
this grand Industrial EXPOSITION.

How the Parisians Take a Bath.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Times gives the following description of the
Seine bathing:
AT hrst there is something strange in see
my SO many halt-naked men pulling them
selves ABOUT IN the Seine), but there is an
llinocence ana simplicity in the whole pro-
ceeding which divests it of any idea of imnro-
prlety. Here, for instance, are three gebtIe-
men ana TWO ladies, all in their bathing
dresses, and all giving themselves tbe air
bath, which their limited costume renders
agreeable, before taking their swim tooetber
The boat stops in mid stream; a little ladder
is hung over the side, the gentlemen all 90 in
like frogs, one after another, head first the
ladies go in like ducks, with a sort of hutter
and rush upon the surface, and so they
swim merriy round the boat, laughing and
chasing one another, and every now and
then climbing up the ladder to rest. At Bas
Meuden there are a number of covered boats
which may be hired. and within the gipsy-
like tent at the stern the ladies make their
toilets, while the gentlemen make theirs in
the bow. But here are also islands, with
convenient bushy shelters, and bathers of
both sexes take advantage OF them.in the alb
sense OF bathing houses or better cover.
Then there are pretty villas upon the river
bank, which suggests to the occupants bath
PoOO Vi OWH. AS YOU Walk diOu1
the bank, you meet, for instance, lady
charmingly dressed, tripping down her gar
den, out across the road, and down to the
waters edge. In second something is ap-
parently unlocked, the becoming morning
costume sinks in a heap at her feet, and re-
yeals an equally dainty, but very different
form of attire, in which, having kicked off
the slippers from her stockingless feet, she
plunges into the stream, and kisses her hand
from the middle of it TO her husband who is
standing admiring her from the balcony OF
his drawing-room. Aiterward her maid
COMES down with large wrapper, and shs
runs home like dripping. Ndisd with her
children, who seems TO have had their bath,
all trooping and laughing around her. There
Is great deal of swimming learnt from boats,
the swimmer having cord attached to his
or her waist, and being upheld and directed
by man in the boat. The whole of the
aquatic performances which appear to be con-
fined to the bourgeOisie, is conducted with
the most pc feet innocence and propriety.
Whole families come and splash about for the
real enjoyment of the thing, and the per-
formers seem far more decently clothed than
those in lie ROi Cdrrotte."

The Grand Haven (Michigan) Herald says
that prominent Greeley man of that place
was boasting to number of Republicans the
other day that an intelligent colored man,
whom we will designate as ''Uncle Ned,'' and
who was working for said Greeleyte, would
vote for Horace, and he offered to back his as
sertion by treating the crowd to cigars, etc.
The bet was promptly taken by our friend b,
who has an eye to business and railroads.
Uncle Ned was called in, and the question
was put directly, "Ned, will you vote for
Greeley this fall" The answer came prompt
ly and earnestly. "Yes, sab, e, vote for
Greeley every time" Our Greeley friend was
delighted; he had not only won the bet, but
had demonstrated the fact right here in Grand
Haven that Summers dying effort was bear
ing fruit; it was not written in vain. With
all the dignity and pomposity he could COM
mand, our prominent Greeley friend-who
has ever been an uncompromising Democrat
walked up to Uncle Ned, and, extending his
hand, said: "This is the first time ever
offered to shake hands with a colored man.
but the occasion demands it now,o and he
and Uncle Ned had a hearty shake, while
friend b and the Republicans showed plainly
that they had lost all confidence in the op-
pressed race. But after the formal 'shake,"
Uncle Ned, addressing our Greeley friend,
said: "Hop on thar now, Mr.. -, un' err
STAN me; mean jis what say; I'll vote for
Horace Greeley, but I'll vote for him to be
hung" 1t is needless to add that the cigars,
etc., were set up, and Uncle Ned shared with
the party. This is the first instance of shak-
ing hands across the ''black chasm" in that
city.

After poor Carlotta had her last interview

A hot-headed youth, at Waterbury, Ver-
mont, was recently trying to catch baseball
when it rolled upon railroad track just in
front of a coming train. But young Amer-
ca was not to cheated, and went for the ball
just in time to be caught by the cow-catcher
of the engine, and carried along about two
hundred feet before the train could be stop
ped. The boy wasn't hurt but he missed the

Sir Boyle Roche was deeply impressed
with the sanguinary dispositions of the
French revolutionists; and, in advocating
some measures to prevent their invading Ire
land, he said to the speaker: ''Sir, if meas
ures are not taken to keep these blood-thirsty
rufiians out of Irelrnd, they will break into
this very house, and cut off our heads before

Masks AND FACEs.-Ladies who mask their
faces and necks with enamels endanger their
health to no purpose. The plaster work de-
ceives nobody. There is but one article known
which will restore blemished complexion or
create external brilliancy and bloom where
they have never heretofore existed, and that ar
ticle is HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM. 1t per-
forms this toilet miracle by infusing vitality
into the skin. The floral and herbal juices of
which it is composed gently stimulate the cir
culation in the minute blood vessels and brace
the network of nerves through which they pass.
Thus quickened and strengthened the external
covering soon acquires fresh and healthful
hue, and every trace of sallowness disappears.
The palest cheeks derive from the beautifying
baptism of this delightful cosmetic warmer
hue, and the arms, hands and neck, a blonde
lustre which the charlatans, who profess to
make ladies beautiful forever with their
poisonous cement, can never hope to initiate.

In the large Confucian temple at Yedo, JAP
an, there has been held very interesting ex-
hibition, especially designed for the improve
ment of the Japanese people. There was a
fine collection of rare and curious articles,
such as sea-weeds, grasses, ferns and dwarfed
trees; a collection of beautiful butterflies
and moths; also of japanese weapons. The
greatest curiosity in the exhibition was a huge
fish, twenty feet LONG and broad in proportion.
The scales of this fish are of solid gold. 1t
stands on its neck and front fins; its tail is
bent upward toward the sky; its mouth is
like that of ahippopotamus, and has terrible
looking row of teeth. The Japanese assert
that the whole fish is of solid gold. On grand
occasions, such as when the Tycoon visits the
temple, this fish is placed over the entrance
gate. 1t was given to the Mikado by the
Prince of Dwarf. The entrance fee to this
exhibition was about two cents, and the tenn
nle was constantly thronped
