Shopping in Paris.

The following scene, it is said
took place in Paris magasin: An
elegantly dressed lady asked to see
some materials for paletots. The
shopman mounted the steps, and
took down several pieces of striped
velvet.
"The rain would spoil it," said
the lady. "Show me some swan
skln.'
Several pieces being laid upon
counter-"Too thick" said the lady,
after an examination of ten minutes;
"show me some ladies cloth"
Several great rolls were laid be-
fore her. They were too thin.
Then came velvet, silk, satin, moire,
until the counter disappeared under
the piles of stuff, behind which stood
the nearly invisible shopman still
patient and polite. At last, 81

in favor of flannel, blue flannel"
Ten or twelve pieces were laid
upon inc heap.
"That will do," she said, after q
long and minute scrutiny. "How
much will it take to make dogs

copic toy terrier
"a paIetot?" asked the shopman
not at all disconnected, and appear

Laughter Analysed.
British Quarterly Review.

British Quarterly Review.
Most Of philosophers who have
set to work to define mental SEN
sations insist that laughter supposes
feeling Of superiority in the laugh
er over the laughed at; but they
seem to overlook the great distinc-
tion between laughing at and laugh
ing with anyone. Doubtless feel
ing Of contempt often raises a laugh
and the absurdities Of men and
women are constant food for laugh
ter; but humorists often laugh at
themselves. Nothing will illustrate
better the absurdity of the whole
sale statement that laughter implies
contempt than Charles Lambs re-
lation to, Coleridge. He constantly
laughed and joked at the preaching
of the philosopher, but he reveren-
ced his friend of fifty years, and
looked up to him with childish love.
A "W estminster Reviewer" defines
the cause oflaughter as the repre-
sentation Of objects with qualities
opposite Of their own; but all incon-
gruities do not cause laughter.
Ludicrous incongruity is opposed
to dignity, and this is why those
who have little wisdom to fall back
upon hate a laugh. Lord Boiling
broke said that gravity is, the very
essence of imposture; and Joe. Mill
er is the authority for the assertion
that as the gravest beast is an ass,
the gravest bird is an owl, and the
gravest fish is an oyster, so that the
gravcst man is a fool. If anyone is
inclined to doubt Joe Miller's die
tum, we can corroborate it by the
authority of Plato, who, when in
dulging in the gayety of his heart,
used sometimes to cay: "Silencc,
my friends! let us be wise now;
here is fool coming" Lord Ches-
terfeld was no fool, and he dis
approved OF laughter; but he allow
ed his son to smile, for he did not
advocate gravity. He considered
laughter as ill-bred, not only on ac-
count of the disagreeable noise, but
because of the shocking distortion
of the face that it occasions?" 1t is
happy for the world that such false
notions are not now received. Some
suppose that laughter is caused by
novelty and surprise, and a French
philosopher, in accounting for the
fact that although We arc told that
our Lord wept, we never hear that
he laughed, suggests to us the rea-
son that nothing was new to Him.
Although this is good enough as n
theory, it is grounded npon mis-
taken idea of laughter, for we often
laugh on the recollection of y criti-
cism. Nevertheless, surprise is a
material element of laughter, al
though it is not confined to that
emotion. 1t has been well-observed
that "the only constant effect that
follows on an original striking COM
parison is shock ofagreeable sur
prise; it is as if q partition wall in
our intellect was suddenly blown
out; two things formerly strange to
one another havc flashed together,

A Movement in Congress to Regulate
Railroad Charges.

from the New York Herald
Resolutions offered by Mr.. Stew
art, of Nevada, in the. Senate, with
regard to regulating rates Of fare
and transportation on railroads be-
tween the States, and instructing
the Committee on Judiciary to in
quire into the authority Of Congress
on the subject, have been adopted
and referred to the committee. 1t
is under the provision of the Con-
stitution which authorizes Congress
to regulate commerce among the
several States that these resolutions
were offered. 1t is to be hoped the
Judiciary Committee will thorough
ly investigate this matter and pro-
pose the legislation needed. The
railroads have grown to be stupen-
dous monopolies, and tax the peo-
pie of the whole country and OF all
classes more heavily than the Fed
eral Government can venture to tax
them. A railroad that costs twenty
millions initiates its stock to forty,
fifty or sixty millions, and then de-
mands fares from the trav cling pub
l,c and rates Of freight from ou-
farmers and merchants to pay inter-
est on the inflated or watered stock.
This is a more burdensomc and in
iouitous than the Government I'M
poses, and goes far to retard the
development and business of the
country. The railroads, like the
great rivers, are the arteries of
Commerce among the states, and
Congress has, no doub., the power
to regulate their charges. We know
of no more important and necessary
measure than this Of Mr.. Stewart,
which has been referred to the Com
m,ttee on Judiciary, and We hope
that Congress will act upon it at an
early day.
