WINTERS IN PARIS.
How the ParIsians Manage to KeeI
Warm.

How the PaIisianS Manage to Keep
Warm.
The effects of the season are very Sc
verely felt in Paris. The snow lies in
the streets, neither melted nor frozen
it's appearance is enough to produce
cough or bring out rheumatism. The
atmosphere is a dense mist, which
chills to the bone, and creeps into an
apartment by cracks and crannies that
you believed we're air tight. No person
goes out who can remain within doors,
and where the principal occupation con
sists in Theoretically closing up rooms.
The shops have quite deserted look,
although gas is kept blazing through
out what was hitherto known
as the day. Fires of char
coal burn at each side of the entrance
door to attract purchasers. In the
butchers shops large bra1sers occupy
the sites of chopping blocks; IN the
dairies are the same, to keep faith
doubtless with the public that milk can
be had "morning and evening, warm
and fresh from the cow" as indicated
on the signboards. At every corner
can be purchased from steaming cans a
beverage called coffee; the chestnut
men keep fires and pots going in par
titioned- off portion Of the wine shops
The news venders in their kiosks are
protected from being frozen to death
by having foot warmers filled with live
charcoal, which lasts five hours, and
costs one sou for renewal at the bakers
or charcoal dealer. The washer
women also procure from the
"boiling water companies the fluid
at the rate of one sou per bucket. Cob
blers will 'Efrost" boots and shoes, as
the smith horses, for eight sous the
pair, but who must be playing into the
hands of some accidental insurance
company, as the wearers of spiked
heels figure most among cases in the
accident wards in the hospitals. Up
to the present there have been eight
hundred "falls," requiring the aid of
medical assistance; sixty persons have
had arms and legs broken, and there
have been two deaths. Owing to the
absence of traffic, the streets are dis.
NAL by the silence, relieved occasionally
when wagon drawn by six or eight
horses sticks in the snow, and whips
and vociferations are employed to sup
plement motive power The buses
have been a complete failure; passen-
gers have had to alight, and even then
the pair of horses were unable to draw
the vehicle up the smallest rise. In
stead of reducing the buses on each
line, and doubling thereby the number
of horses, the omnibus company shut
up the shop, when the ordinary means
failed. AS for cab, if one could be
had, it was an understood thing that
you would have to yoke yourself along
side of Rosinante before the journey
was completed. Indeed, horse-fesh
ought to be selling cheaply, as the
knacker's yard never received more
work

A Manager i'm a Dilemma.

This is what occurred in Geneva,
Switzerland, on account of the pres
ence of the green-eyed monster.
" "Gounod's Faust was performed,
and one Mile. Dufaure sung Marguerite.
During the first act the other singers
won more applause than she. This
mortified her so much that she refused
to 60 on the stage in the second act.
A novel scene now ensued. The mama
ger stepped before the curtain and said
that Mile. Dufaure refused to sing be-
cause the audience Disseminated against
her in the applause. He appealed to
the gentlemen to do better toward her.
Some laughed and refused, but most OF
the audience promised to crafty her.
So she reappeared A storm of ap-
plause greeted her. She wept tears OF
Joy. Renewal of the applause. The
other actors grew Jealous In their turn,
and refused to play. So the manager
had to dismiss the audience and refund
the money. ."-ErchCl19ge.

After MANY DAYS,

Seventeen years ago, Mr.. Hirsch, now
a resident of Louisville, befriended a
young man named Sonnenberger, ad-
vancing goods to the amount of $3.50
on his personal security, The adven-
br1rer crossed the Isthmus of Panama
with the goods, after which nothing
was heard from him until quite recent
ly. After a weary pilgrimage around
the world, constantly followed by ms
fortune, Sonnenberger had found ms
Eldorado in the South African diamond
fields, and was anxious OF paying up
his Indebtedness, principal and interest.
Sucb events have double significance,
in increasing our faith in maligned
human nature, and as showing now
many an honest fellow has been pre-
vented from showing his zeal gratitude
for acts of kindness rendered.

The Thread of Life.

Events are footprints in the psth Of tines
And these are truths which nevermore VIII die,
But outhve rock, and grow yet more suDnme
When things of earth in deep oblivion lie.
IlIne,s march Is grand-a grand reeistless sweep"
Its legions, moments never fall asleep,
8ut onward, in their wondrous march impe1ed,
AND IN control by will divinest held,
cney sweep the earth, they sweep the skies,
And Satan with his mad host flies
hear the tread of ages and the sound
Is all triumphant as they onward 90
There is no halting, no conceding ground,
No wild retreat, no vain pretentious show
Onward, to charge on sins barbaric line,
They step in time, while lance and helmet shine.
And shouts of joy, and strains Of music grand
Reverberate through all the eternal land
They sound through earth they sound through skies
And Satan with his mad host flies. q
We live in sublime and wondrous age, -s,
In which, though God to man may be unseen,
He writes his thoughts upon 50 PLAIN page,
And throws upon them such glorious sheen,
That, while these footsteps of hosts of time
Sound in our ears with sort Of angel rhyme
We know fat has gone forth to doom sf
The shades of wrong to an eternal tomb;
The fiat goes through earth and skies,
And Satan with his mad host flies

Senator Brownlow is preparing. and win
seek some proper time to deliver in the
Senate, a speech in; full reply to the as
sault of Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, upon
the governments of the Southern States,
Mr.. Beck having sought, by the plea OF
corruption and maladministratiou, to ex
cuse and justify kuklux outrages and the
still ranking feelings of the rebellion mani
tested on every hand. This speech Was
made in the House on the 22d instant,
and in 1t Dir. Beck, speaking of Southern
officials, said: Hated and despised, their
only refuge. if they can escape the peni-
tentiary,1seems to he ia the Senate of the
United Statcs." at which point he was
called to order by the Speaker. In a
scurrilous TRADE upon the Governors OF
the Southern States. he spoke of Senator
Brownlow ashaying ''made apaademonium
of the States of Tennessee" We can mot
wonder at the tone of the speech in the

THE sENATORIALRACE

sSAs Major i. W. Earnest positively re-
fuses to- submit his claims to q convention
Oh his party, and Col. w. c. rEmmert, of
Carter, will run on the Republican Tick
st.sxe are to have. four Richmonds in the
field. 3 Whilst we have no other but the
kindest feelings and respect for Col. En-
mort, and regard him as a deserving gem
tleman, we must decline supporting him.
Cur reasons for this course are, that Sulli-
van County is justly entitled to the Sena-
tor, and that Capt. t. Ii. Easley, whom
ve-shall heartily support, is the strongest
and ufost available candidate. The Re-
publicans of Washington and Sullivan
coun:ies will vote for Capt. Easley in SOL
id colanin, which will place his election,
the way matters now stand, beyond all
doubt. The Capt. was brought out by
his friends in different parts of the Dis
uict and goes into the canvass against his
own feelings and wishes.
ave urge upon all Republicans to come
uPs in, compact ranks to his support. as he
alone is able to defeat the democratic as
pirants. We especially call upon Carter
and johnson counties to lay aside their
local preferences and zeal, and contribute
their strength to the securement ola brill
liant Republican victory.
We are sorry to say that prominent
Republican Of our town has received a
letter on the subject of the election, from
4 Leading Carter County Republican,
which contains unjust structures and
examinations against our county. Now,
whilst we greatly desire the cooperation
and assistance Of Carter County, we must
protest against such unmerited censure
and accusations from a member of own
party. We wish to live and work in har-
mony with that county, but are not dis
posed to tamely submit to arbitrary die
tation.

al Recent intelligence from London is OF

tors and the American Government that

The United States Government is de-
termined that the Alabama claims shall
be paid and England shall make ample
redress forrall the wrongs and outrages
committed against her during the hate

and beligercnt attitude just to 'blaff'.and
intimidate us. England has some valua-
BILE possessions on this side of the 54tlan-
tic, which will surely fall into our hands,
in case of war. These acquisitions win
more than discharge John Bulls indebt-

TILE DrFFERErlNCE.

In q government of as great q magni-
tude, as ours with its thousands of appoin7
tees scattered over the country, the vast
majority of whom must necessarily be un-
Known to the appointing power, it is a
matter Of impossibility to keep dishonest
men out of government positions. Under
every administrators. Wing, Democratic
and Republican. abuses, mal-feasances and
defalcations have occurred.
= But, within the last thirty years we
shall say, what democratic administration
has distinguished itself by ferreting put
and furnishing its rascally employees. Cor
ruption u~nconcealed and u~ndismayed held
high and luxurious carnival in the first
places of official power, and sent its pollu-
ting streams down the gradations of every
department. Frauds and theft,were con-
s~tantly turning up to the light of day
Did we everhear of Congressional Inves-
tigating Committees using the stratagems
sfHse detective or the bold strength Of
lpw to truce the tracks of %yilliany and
bring the guilty to punishment? These
Instances were rare, if any existed at all,
whilst the general rule was that it only
required a short term of official favor to
convert a Lazarus into a Nabob, and moth
ing said about the transition from beggary
to opulepee.
How have thieves and plundercrs four
ished under republican supremacy? A
bare suspicion of wrong doing places the
official under ar Argus-eyed scrutiny,
and a web of testimony is woven around
him. If honest, the continued confidence
of the government stands to his triumph
ant vindication. If corrupt and knayish,
conviction follows proof, and punishment
conviction.
With a wonderful energy and daunt-
lessness, the present administration is
purging itself of thieves and miscreants,
and is enforcing a much needed reform in
all departments. The good work begun
BY Lincoln but obstructed by johnson.
is being successfully prosecuted by Grant.
