whereby he made much money. One
of his games was to lay the sub-col-

the distribution of lOttery-tickets,
with a commission of 25 cents on
each for himself. But, as these plans
only brought such small accounts as

kept all the unsOld tickets in his desk,

presented them through a third party

that he kept some of the numbers out
of the globes, and then purchased the
tickets bearing these numbers, calling

What State are you from ?" 81 am

LEWIS GAYLoRD CLARK.-The in
tellectual popularity of Lewis Gay
lord Clark was humOr; with him it
was, of course, instructive and genu-
inc. He was never else to the world
than light-hearted, always kindly
disposed, and ever discovering
amusement, not only in the triAing,
but the most serious events of life.
This ruling passion of an uncon-
trolled appreciation of the ludicrous
was displayed on the seemingly in
congruous occasion of Washington
Irving's funeral. A special train
was furnished by the Hudson River
Railroad Company to take the friends
of the great deceased from the up
per part of the city to Irvington.
The crowd that collected that day
at the station included the best rep
resentatives of the commercial, legal,
literary, and artistic minds of the
country. Clark, Gu the occasion, by
virtue of his intimate relations with
Washington Irving while hging, and
his personal acquaintance with every
celebrity present, without Perceaging
it. acted as a ''self-appointed .eosu
mittee," to give information and
direct the ''mourners" into the prop
er cars.
In his spontaneous enthusiasm he
called forth a reproOf from a young
man who was evidently an imprO-
vised special conductor. The said
very much overdressed young man,
becoming annoyed at the usurPation
of his duties, greatly to the amuse-
ment of all who witnessed 1t, very
imperiously announced to the viva
cious Clark the following clearly de-
fined statement, "Sir, l don't know
your name, but l have charge of
these cars"
Clark turned on the speaker, and
apparently measuring him at a
glance, lighting up his own face
with his blandest smile and superior
intelligence, and then cordially seiz-
ing the offended official by both
hands, and shaking them with a
friendly violence, said, with an EN-
phasis that was heard by hundred
persons, "Why Biggs, a am delight
ed to see you!"
Mr.. "Pompous" was decidedly
confused, and very indignant, and
promptly replied, "My name, Sir, is
not Biggs."
"Not Biggs!" echoed Clark, start,
ing back with what appeared to be un-
feigned Observation-Disclosures BiggS!
Well, upon my word, you don't
know much, but you certainly know
your own name better than | do"
OF course TIE many who witnessed
this encounter greeted it with hearty
laughter, which ran electric through
the crowd. We are, of course, sor
ry to write that, spite of the solem
nifty of the occasion, "the young
man" subsequently, never entered
the cars on the trip without being
assailed by the 'irreverent" with tn,
query of "How are you, Biggs?'

bade him good bye,
With Il laughing eye,
In a careless, girlish way;
Bui l turned aside

The tear that was bound to stray.
Yes, l brushed il off
With a joyous laugh
1t had fallen by him unseen:
Yet he could not but know,
Ere he turned TO 90,
What foolish girl Lad been.
He could no: but know
Why l tremblcd so
Meath the glance of his dark blue eye ;
But back TO my heart,
From hence il would start,

- hurried along
Through motley throng:
But my ewes with tears were dim;
And my hesrt WIS sure
1t would beHI no niars
With the hope was dear Io,hm.
For his words were cold, -
And his parting told
Me the warm love throhs to still
But my passion wild,
Like wayward child,
Would not yield TO Reasons will
l had loved him long,
Though l knew twas wrong,
For he gave me no look or word;
Yet, passing me by
With careless eye,
The chords Of my heart were stirred.
I've seen him smile
On the lovely, while
He he sometimes frowned OIL me
Yet his name and face
| can ne'er erase
From the book of my memory.
l will keep them there,
And OFT in prayer
His dear name I'll wait above;
And the angels alone,
When the night winds moan,
Will bear off my hopeless love.

No one has yet been able to anal
we or demonstrate the essential ac-
tion of perfume. Gas can be weigh
ed, but not scents; the smallest
known creatures-the very mOnads
of life-can be caught by a micro
ScOpic lens and made to deliver up
the secrets of their organization; but
what is that emanates from the pouch
of the musk deer that fills a whole
space for years and years with It's pen
etrating Odor, an OdOr which an illim-
table number of extraneous substan-
ces can carry on without diminishing
it in size and weight-and what is
that the warm summer air brings to
us from the flowers, no man has vet
been able to determine. So fine, so
subtle so impOnderable, it has eluded
both our most delicate weights and
measures and our most strong lenses.
If we come to the essence of each
odor, we should have made an" enOr-
nous stride forward both in hygiene
and chemistry; and none would prof
it more than the medical profession
if it could be as conclusively demon
strated that such an odor proceeded
from such and such a cause, as we al
ready know of sulphur, sulphureted
hydrogen, ammonia, and the like.

no matter whether the town was
large or small, portion of its i'll
habitants
WERE FARMERS.
This is as true of city Of 100000
population as of n commune of 500
soulS. However, in some parts of
France, S.,w separate farm-houses
after the English style. That is,
where Il nam owned considerable
tract of laid-say. 200 or 400 hun
dred acreS-ke lived OH it, and had

ling 4 mum .er OF smaller dwellings
for his hired laborerS. There are
said to be $4,000 of these rural ham
lets and villages, called conmunes,
in France, containing, in the aggre-
gaze, upwards Of %, 100000 Of souls,
leaving about 100000 III the
large towns and cities.
Since writing the foregoing, an
intelligent Freachman informs me
that in parts Of Britanny, and III
portions of the country south of the
Loire, all the way south of the Pyr-
enees, the farms are enclosed with
hedge fences, and that many of the
farmers live on their lands, as in
America; but those are parts of
France rarely visited by travellers,
and | only have his word for it. l
have Travelled at least 1900 miles
in France in various directions, and
have seen, in all that distance, no
fenced farms, and but few farm
houses away from villages.
Another thing that arrests the
attention Of the tourist is the
UNIVERSALLY HAPPY MANNER
in which The country. is cultivated.
There seems to be not an acre of
ground i'll France that is not devo-
ted to some useful purpose. There
is no waste or idle ground. The
marshes appear to be drained and
reclaimed; the brooks and creeks
have been Strengthened, and, where
they would be likely to wash away
the earth, the banks thereof are
carefully walled up; and the same is
done with rivers where, III making
bends, they would cut away the ad
joining fields; stone walls protect
the land against such apprehended
loss. Where streams, large or small,
overflow their banks, levees are
raised to prevent it, and protect the
adjacent lands from damage. Fine
stone arch bridges cross all the
s reams. The largest rivers in
France have been thus spanned.-
Before the area of railways, the
built those bridges for
military purposes, and they will en-
dure for centuries.

The 'Monroe doctrine" will have
another meaning if a story told by
correspondent of the Fredericksburg
Star concerning the late President
Monroe is true. After leaving the
White House Mr.. Monroe resided in
New York. Here he became embar-
rasssed, and went back to his farm
near Charlottesville. About a year
after a New York creditor sent TO
James w. Saunders, lawyer, a claim
of s400 to collect. Saunders was
well received by the ex-President,
breakfasted with HIM, and had de-
lightful time until he politely broach-
ed the subject of the $500. Mr.. Mon
roe quietly listend to the request for
payment, went to a drawer, took out
not the money, but two pistols, and
invited Mr.. Saunders to a grove near
the house. The lawyer demurred,
and Monroe said he would prefer
battle to having his peace of mind
DESTROYED by hungry creditors.

the multitude of elegant buildings
which have been erected; and they
seem to suppose that in no other
parts of France has anything been
done in the way of improvement and
adornment. But such view is a
mistaken one.
ALL TIE CITIES OF FRANCE
have been initiating Paris to the ex-
tent of their ability; and the i'm
Provements in many of them have
been relatively greater even than in
Paris itself.
All Frenchmen visit Paris, most of
them once a year, and all of them
once in lifetime. They rarely 90
anywhere else, forno other city mas
attractions for them. They return
filled with admiration at the sights
aud shows, and straightway set
about reproducing Paris in their own
ci les, to the extent of their means.
Therefore it is that l find, in old,
quaint, medieval cities, a spirit of
progress and improvement which l
was not expecting to tind. Almost
every city has its adorned parks,
drives, and squares, with fountains
playing, and statuary and monu-
ments commemorative of the noted
characters there born, or of events
in It's history. 1t has its new quar-
ter, laid out in broad, straight,
streets, and elegantly built up in
modern style, with villas and man
sions placed on every spot where a
picturesque landscape can be pro-
duced. The effect is heightened by
ornamental trees, vines, shrubs, and
flowers,sO placed and arranged as to
add singular charm to the whole.
In these respects, it seems to me,
THE FRENCH ARE UNEXCELLED
in nicely of taste and perception of
the beautiful in Art and Nature.
Their temperament is poetical and
emotional, and they are always
studying poses, surprises, effects, ell
egances, charms and sensations in
all they do. They are shocked and
their feelings wounded by coarse,
unartistic things, or vulgar, blunt,
stupid actions. While they study
the useful, they will sacrifice it with
out hesitation to preserve OF secure
the beautiful; and to pass a fatter-
ing compliment, they will disregard
the truth without the least compunc-
tiOn,-feeling rather the wrong
would consist in adhering to prosaic
fact at the expense of exuberant
fancy.
With such temperament, tastes,
and inclinations, France, under its
sunny skies, could not be otherwise
than
