THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The water level in front Of the city is
now but six and "A half feet above ex-
IRENE low water mark, and the river is
falling. The crossings above here are
getting worse, that at Island 30 having
but six feet over it, and hard work to
get through on that. Below there seems
to have been some improvement, as the
Lady Lees pilots last night reported
ten feet over the worst. The upper
streams are falling, and those below have
but little water in them. The weather
is hot-red holland not breath of air
stirring.

WHAT A home SHOULD BE.

We have ali our ideas, says contributor
of a New York paper, OF happy home,
but few of us ever realize it. How little
appreciation parents have of their ability to
make home the dearest spot on earth to
their children. If fathers would spend one
tenth of the time devoted to money making
and neWspaper-readiDg in attending to the
intellectual culture and moral training of
their children, fewer sons would be default
ers and fewer daughters recreaDt. II
mothers would lavish daily portion of the
strength given to ornsmentation of the body
upon the happiness of the soul no siren
song would be sWeeter to the son than his
mothers voice, and all the seducing arts of
villainy could never entice the daughter
from her side.
Said mother not long ago: "My chill.
dren won't read anything but novels. l
have scclded and forbidden them ever to
touch one. 1t does no good"
81 allow my children to read novels" re-
turned her friend" and yet they are equally
interested in history, travel, and biogra-
phy."
"You must have remarkably good chill
dren."
IL don't know. | read with them, and
try to teach them novels are to literature
what p!ums are to the pudding; aud :eing
interested 10 all they read, Ihave no trouble
in persuading them to allow me to select
their books"
How many households there are where
no evening entertainment is provided f
the children. The little ones are hurried to
bed, and any play entered into by the elder
ones is checked by an order to "keep quiet,
so papa and mamma can read" Oparentsl
30 blind, be not above lively game OF
blind mans bluff with the little ones, and
crCquet, or billiards, or cards, with the eld-
er ones.
Apropos to this, 1 would suggest game
recently invented, which met with unriv-
aled favor in our family. We call it "con-
temporaries." Each sits around the table
with pencil and paper. Time, ten minutes.
Then is selected the name of some illustri-
ous man, which is written st the top OF the
slip of paper. The game is to write during
the ten minutes the greatest number OF
names of Individuals who lived st the same
tirpe with the person whose name is at the
head of TIE list. The FIRST name we chose
was Washington. The most names written
were thirty, Little Lizzie had Demos
themes and Columbus on her list, which
created merrimeDt. The second name
chosen was Queen Elizabeth. There were
thirty.fiye names written by the one who
had the most. Afterward we tried Charles
the First, Napoleon, Frederick the Great,etc.
The result of the game was, on the part
of all, desire to become better acquainted
with historical personages.

THE MARKET FOB OLD CLOTHES
IN PARIS.

IN FAnkS.
G. C. Fulton writes from Paris to the
Baltimore American: This is called the
Marche du Vieux Iinge. Il is a market
for old clothes, and stuffs, shoes and tools,
and is very extensive affair. 1t is about
seven hundred feet long by two hundred
feet broad, built in iron pavilions, and con-
tains two thousand four hundred places for
dealers, each of about thirteen square feet,
and each and all these stalls are filed with
dealers, from which some idea csn be OBJ
tanned OF the sceDe here presented. This
was built as speculation, the city
granting the contractor tie right to build
it and receive the rents for fifty years,
at the same time paying the city two hun
dred thousand francs per annum, aud the
whole to revert to the city at the expiration
Of fifty years. Il cost the contractor three
million five hundred thousand francs. The
new stalls set up for tia dealers are so ele-
gsnt,and the articles offered for sale 60 clev-
erly renovated" that the visitor can
scarcely believe himself 10 be in an ''old
clothes" mart. 1t has been a very success
full speculation, and the poor man can here
procure very respectable outfit for very
small outlay. These dealers are constantly
rooms, old clothes snd all the odds and
ends that accumulate in an easy living
household. The space occupied by this struc-
ture is two entire blocks, the street passing
through it being rooted over with iron,
glass and zinc. II is a very elegant struc-
ture, built on the model of the Grand Cen
trsl Market, entirely of iron. The roof is
about forty feet high, With greater eleva-
ton in the center, where there is an i'm.
mense open gallery, reached by two flights
of iron stairs. Seeing that there was a
crowd of people up there, we sscended,
and found doorkeepsr, who required one
sou admission. This proved to be place
for the sale of old clothes too far gone for
renovation, and the articles were piled up
in lines along the floor, through
which the purchasers, to the num-
Der of probably a thousand, were
circulating. Both buyer and seller pays one
sou admission, which defrsys the expense
of this branch ofthe establishment. Musty.
looking cid shoes by the cart load were
here, shocking old has, and all manner of
woman's apparel. They we're doing an
extensive business, howeve-, and during
our ramble we were frequently invited to
purchase some threadbare garment, from
which 1t may be judged how shabby the
European traveller gets in his outward ap-
pearance by the time he reaches Paris. The
goods displayed in the two thousand four
hundred stalls below looked as biight aud
new, almost, as the display in the windows
on the boulevsrds, though many of them
were slightly out of fashion.
