himself down an asa in this direction. Hiram
Briggs Was engaged to 3 young lady, who gave
him eight dollars wherewith to purchase for her
q - waterproof cloak. Hiram Briggs, instead of
purchasing the cloak, however, went off and
spent the money for something else: Being un-
able 10 reimburse the object Of his aHections.
and the fraud having been discovered, owing to
the vet weather, Hiram: Briggs. WAS
struck to the stomach with his own
meanness. and determined to die. Instead Of
drowning himself or shooting himself, as ;he
should have done after such meanness, Hirara
Briggs reso1ted to worm-lozenges, and ate sufii-
cient Of them, as: he supposed, to insure bis
death. The confection, however, made him IN
sensib1e but did not kill him. He still lives, but
is both diareputable :: and Ridiculous. Hiram
Briggs should not despair. as long as strychnine
is left There never yet Was q man 80 mean
st1ychnine couldn't kill him. >. :.

great religious, political, and esthetio conVoca-
-tions: As the granary Of the Northwest, and
the distributor for the East OF cereals
and live stock, the farmers must g.
ways look to Chicago - the pont
where they can most readily ana
easily CONS ii contact with the world, and they
will need such building for exhibition Pur-
noaes.> The Same is true from the hortlcultura1'
,nineralogical, and manufacturing points OF
view. Next spring, it is more than probable
that Mr.. Thomas will organize a grand festival
here, similar to that recently held in Cincinnati,
and such q building will be the first step accom-
plished towards inducing him tocome here. That
. Crystal Palace is adapted for music has already
been ahown' by the successful concarts
which have been given. in the Lon
don Crystal Palace for several yoars.
The great political gatherings, religious eonvon-
tions, and anniversary meetings will: also find
their way there. In fact, the knowledge that
Chicago has building OF this kind will attract
numerous assemblages here Of an important
character, which would not otherwise come here
at all, for lack Of conveniences. Such building
would not only be an ornament to the city and
hare an important bearing upon local business
but 1t would also pay fair rate Of interest or
the investment to those whose contributions
have made it possible.

THE EXPOSITION BUILDING:

The plans Tor the 1nIeT-oLate G1Poslt1oA ouAt0
ing On the Lake Park have at last boen accepted
by the Committee, and the work Of e1caEatng
and grading for the foundation walls will COM
meuce to-day. The architect Mr. Boyington. in
accordance with the views Of the Committee and
of the numerous citizens who have taken stock
in the enterprise, has produced plan which
contemplates structure, mainly Of iron and
glass, 800 feet front, reaching from Adams to
jackson street, and 200 feet IN depth, to cost
le25o, ,ooo The material Of which it is to be con-
eoa.cted, and it's arches, domes, and towers. will

these features constitute strong a1-nn,...i-.,-
it should be made permanent. It would be the
height Of folly to lay out SO much money, and
then remove the building after tho expiration Of
q year. The permission, to build, which
| WAS granted by the present Council, limits the
time to one year, bu; there will be no.dif6culty
in obtaining any desired extension Of time from:
the next Council, il the experiment proves q
SUCCESS, ais the property-holder IN the neighbor-
hood, and all thu citizons generally are il favor
Of making it a permanent structure, for the use
and ado1nment Of the city: New Orleans and
Cincinnati have buildings Of this kind, In the
former city; tl.s Exposition building, when not
in use for fairs, is devoted to variety Of useful
purposes, and. being fitted up with steam
power, is in constant demand by those
manufacturing and dealing in machinery. Man-
;ufacturers in distant cities are thereby enabled
to show their machinery in actual operation. In
Cincinnati, the Exposition building. which in
reality consists of q group Of buildings fitted
up for musical, artistic and mechanical pur-
poses, was originally erected by the Germans Of
that city for the purpose Of spngerfest. When
that purpose was accomplished, the city, forsee-
ing it's value, purchased it, and has Kept it in
order ever since. It has served for fairs, con
ventions, large political gatherings, horti-
cultural exhibitions, and musical festi-
vals: But for the existence Of this
building, in fact, it is doubtful whether
the recent successful -. musical : festival
in that city would have been he'd at all. The
demand for such building has always been
felt in this city, and that want will constantly
grow more pressing in the future, as the city
increases in population, and develops it's com-
mercial, artistic, and scientific resources. From
it's central position, and its accessibility by rail
road from every part Of the country, it must fre-
quently, in the future. be the rendezvous Of

The results Of the Treaty Of Washington, SO
far, have all been IN favor Of the American side
Of the controversy, and there has been little
sympathy in this country with the continuous de-
nunciation Of the compact that ia still kept up
in the; British Parliament It, however, the
British-American Mixed Claims Commission,
now IN session, shall decide that the American
Government Is liable for the loss Of cotton and
Other property belonging to British subjects
which yas destroyed in the South during the
War, We may be able to understand the English
opposition to the treaty, as the American Gov
ernment will then have to pay back about one-haH
of the damages that wore awarded on account
Of the Alabama depredaions. This Commission
has recently been taking evidence to determine e
whether the City Of Columbia, South Carolina,
was burned by the United States troops or not.
The testimony presented to them must have
been so1newhat embarrassing, On the one hand,
Can. Sherman swears positively that the
town, including the large amount OF cotton it
contained, was burned by tho Confederates, and
he is sustained by number: Of the officers who
were acting under him at the time- On the
other; hand, Wade Hampton, who was in COM
mand OF the Confederates, 6wears just aa
positively that the town was burned By
the Federal troops, and, be is sustained
by: the officers who acted. under him
In 3 case of conflicting testimony, where
the number Of Witnesses on each side is equally
large and their convictions equally confident
the Commission will probably find itself sorelJ
puzzled and but little assisted by the rules. o1
In estimating the value Of the evidence OF
both sides. the Commission will probably .takt
into confederation that Gen. shermAns troops
had been well schooled in the way Of burning
towns. and, that this policy had been regular1.
adopted. Even in a case, therefore, where nj
orders had been given for destruction, it will bt
entirely reasonable to assume that the force? O
habit might have beencso strong among e1citet
soldiers as to: induce tham to proceed Tithou
positive orders. A dozen, or half hundred, a
hundred soldiers, who would apply the torcl
in such case, would not be q large number ou
Of . whole army that had been accustomed II
this sort Of work. Yet half hundred or eTel
dozen soldiers would have been able to caus
the entire confagration, with the high win
which Gen Sherman testifes was prevailing q

A book has been published in Paris entitled
Is Eurres Posthumes ct Autog1sphes 1nedits de-
Napoleon uI.-En Eu1, u which consists OF the
writings of the late Emperor Of the French, done
during his residence at Chiselhnzst. These have.
been collected and edited by the Count de Ia
Chape1le. Among the collection is a paper on
:"I,he Military Forces Of France and the Cam
paien of 187o,' in which thasEmpero1 shows that
he expected to enter the field against an inferior
number OF Germans: He had computed that
Prussia could not send out more than 3s0,ooo
men against him without the cooperation
OF the Southern States Of Germany, and
he counted upon their neutrality. The
French Minister OF War, on the other
hand, had promised to put 400, 600. men in the
field. This statement ehowB how much Napoleon
was deceived in all the calculations which led
him into the war. In reference to the project OF
the campaign which he communicated 70 70
Bazaine, he eays: STA promptitude des eyene-
menta empecha rexecution de ce plan" This is
simply the French way Of admitting that the
rapidity Of the German advance, rather than the
rapidity OF events. overwhelmed the French En-
peror, who found himself deceived and a"1ndled
on ali sides in the equipment and direction Of
his troops: A pamphlet entitled "1ea
Principles, par un Ancien Diplomats" which had
been previously printed, and tie authorship Of
which WAS attributed to. the: Count de la
chappe1ler; now appears among Napoleeoln'e
posthumous writings as having been written b.
him. It is general 1Amentatton, in which sev'
eral Of the European nations, and England II
particular, are arraiguedL for q b1each OF faltt

when she had rendered them such important
service in times past. Napoleon says the Euro

the duties they owed to civilization, and foste1e'
