A Madman's Freak.

When Artemus Ward was in Utica,
he says that man smashed one of his
finest wax figures because he would not
have Judas Iscariot exhibited in the
town. The incident is recalled by one
that happened at the Paris Exposition
a few days ago. In the department of
costumes there is Japanese warrior in
full uniform, seated on a stuffed horse.
The costume is real, having been in
use, and the wax head taken from life.
A young and very we'll dressed man had
been walking about the room looking
at historical canes and dressing gowns
Of Voltaire, and studying with great at
tention the costumes of the time of
Henry ~. Suddenly his eye fell upon
the Japanese warrior, and in an instant
his face underwent change. He be-
gan to abuse the guardians, and to ask
if they had no sense of shame, no feel
ing Of loyalty, no reverence for the his
tory of their country, no patriotism in
their natures. AS a crowd began to
gather, the young man sprang upon the
warrior, seized him by the throat, and
dragged him to the ground, where he
smashed the wax head with his cane.
Arrested at once, he gave his name as
Norbert de Melon, his real name by the
by, but said that he was no other than
Henri ~, tie legitimate King of
France, come to visit his bon ville de
Paris in disguise. He was greatly out
ragged to see himself represented in a
public exposition by such frightful
manikin. At the station his first words
were that he was very hungry. A soup,
roast, and glass of wine were set
before him. Eat" said a sergeat,
g it will do you good" "Ah you
think it will do nae good, eh?" and be-
fore any one could stop him he ran out,
chased by several policemen, but was
not caught until headed off by another
policeman upon the Pont de la Con-
corde. 1t is presumed that want of
food was the cause of this young mans
frenzy, and he is now being provided
for at the maadsoa de Sorate, where he
talks constantly about that frightful
statue of Henry ~. ar

Chinese Merchants.

5 The New York Iriba0ae's Hong Kong
correspondent gives a very uncompli-
mentary sketch of the Chinese mer-
chant. Those who enjoy the reputa-
ton of merchants in California are, he
declares, scoundrels of the most des-
perate description who have been de-
ported from China for crimes. He
describes the means of becoming a
merchant in the Flowry Land. Two
Migrants will form partnership and
live together at an aggregate income of
~ cents day, half of which sum they
save. At the end of six months they
buy sedan chair and procure license.
The chances of arrest for larceny at this
stage are ten to one, but if the critical
period is successfully passed they be-
come small merchants, earning So or So
a day. At the end of two years they
have amassed some 5000 apiece, and
then, separating, become independent.
They buy goods on credit and by
means of cheating, swindling, black
mailing, and extortion manage to be-
come wealthy. The Matchmaking proc
tess requires the cooperation of q
mandarin, who deals out justice and
pockets half the fine imposed. OF
course as the merchant becomes wealth
Ter his chance of punishment becomes
smaller, but when caught he is branded
and deported to San Francisco. This
seems to be very bad state of affairs !;
but the United States correspondent of
a Hong Kong paper might with equal
Justice translate the account and send
it back to China as a graphic descrip-
tion of certain phases of American COM
mercial life.

WHAT WE BUY IN PARIS,

The american Register, printed ut Paris con-
tains some very interesting details OF the export
trade from Paris to the United States tor 1874,
which Prof. Price could undoubtedly apply with
great force to his theories on commercial crises.
During the year ending the 30th OF September,
1864, the total shipments from the Paris district
to the United States amounted to SIG, AGO, LOG !;
and on the came date Of this year, 93G, ,703, ,877
The same paper states that, at the very lowest
computation, nearly S13, ,000, 900 are also dis
bursed yearly by people Of the United States 10
Paris, 60 that Paris levies annual tax OF about
$50, 0,000, 600 upon the Americans for Injuries,
which is larger sum than she leyies upon any
thirds is spent by tho gentlcr SEX directly in
Paris, is sent to the United States for its ex-
elusive benefit, and tho details Of the e1-
port statement show how the sex is
spending its money, or aomo ono e1se's
money, whichever it may be. The fret develop
ment Of the statement is tho fact that chiguons
are doomed, and that the mountains and cat
aracts and pyramids of hair which have hitherto
adorned ~ the female head are destined to give
place to more rational and undemonBtratiye
style Of head-gear, and that ladies have decided
hereafter to wear THAR own treases instead Of
the tresses borrowed from the heads of French
and German peasants. In 1873, the exports Of
human hair amounted to S494 $50. but in 1874
this item had fallen to s2S0, 1882, depreciation
OF more than one-half. Economy in this direction.

| There are plenty OF others who are equal

| establishments, and know al the persons en-
| ployed and officiating In these houses. Within
| an hour On any day that tho Police Commission
era give the orders (unlssa the gamblers be first
informed to get ont Of the vay), tho police may
arrest twenty Of these pests and enemies OF So
ciety, and furnish any Grand Jury with all need
cd evidence to prove them keepers Of common
gaming houses. Mr. Reed can ca11 on Capt.
Buckley, If the Police Commissioners will permit
it, to furnish the Grand Jury now in session with
List Of the notorious gambling-houa
in the South Division, with the nanea Of the
proprietors and Of their operators and aasist-
ants. The Grand Jury itself, upon its own mo-
ton, may summon the police officers and require
them to explain why it is that they do not arrest
these notorious criminals and break up these
gamblng-houses. Il there is any understand
ing OF promise, express or implied, between the
gamblers and the Police Board, the Grand Jury
can do public service by making that fact pub
lie, and by indicting the officers for oonnivaneo
with crime.
These gambling houses are the nurseries of
crime Of every dosroe. Nearly every thief and
burglar ia also u gambler These arc intimately
connected with the confdence-men and tho
abandoned women; and Of all these classes Chi
cago has now an extraordinary number, Who are
by the police allowed to prosecute their nefari-
ous trades with freedom from arrest or other dis
turbance. These men are literally turned loose
upon the community, and this when we e1pend
enforce the Laws and break up the dens Of crime.
We trust the Grand Jury will investigate this
whole matter, and fearlessly do their duty in
protecting Chicago against the gamblers and
their partners, in or ont Of office.

i
Tho Grand Jury now in session has found
| an Indictment against Wilbur F. Storey.
aditor and proprietor of the Chicago Times,
on the charge Of libel. This will be a
notable case in the criminal records OF Chicago,
since it is the frst instance az We believe, Of =
libel snit taking the shape OF criminal prosecu-
tion. The statute provides az penalty dne OF
not more than $500. OF imprisonment in the
! Coupty-Jail for not more than one year. The
indictment against Mr. Storey is founded upon
an editorial paragraph printed in the Times Of
July 16 last, in which Mr. FalrLank was charged
with absracting g, 500 from the Relief Fund
for the benefit Of Dr.. II. l. johnson.
The circumstances of the donation to
DR.. johnson have been stated before. As
be had worked himself into ill-health in the ser
vice OF the Relief and Aid Society, Mr. Fairbank
conceived the plan Of raising funds from per-
sonal friends and the business men Of Chicago
to send Dr.. johnson to Europe for rest and recu-
poration. When Mr. Fairbank went to Mr. Cool
baugh to solicit subscription from the National
Banks, hlr. Coolbaugh reminded him that there
was largo surplus In the Bankers Fund, con-
tsibuted by the National Banks Of New York;
that all those for whom this fund was intended
had been relieved; and that, as tho fund was
now the property OF the National Banks, por-
ton of it might be devoted to DR.. johnson, who
had been Of such great service to the Relief Cause
Mr.. Coolbaugh drew an order upon himself,
which Was signed by all the Presidents Of the
National Banks who we're in the city, directing
him to pay over 90, 500 for this purpose. This
money was given to DR.. johnson as coming from
the National Banks Of Chicago, aud he remained
in ignorance Of the fact that it had been part
Of the Bankers Relief Fund" When this was
mado known to hin. somo months ago. through
the medium Of the Chicago Times he returned
the money. Mr. Storey's quarrel With d.. John
son. however, has prompted him to harp upon
the transaction, and in his paper OF Thursday
last be criticised tho Relief and Aid Society very
harshly for ro-e1ecting to its Executive Commit
tee two men C1r- Fairbank aud DR.. Johnson)
"who are VIGOROUSLY guilty Of having appropri-
ated relief funds to their own nse." It was this
paragraph which provoked Mr. Fairbank to ap-
pear before the Grand Jury and demand Ar.
storey's Indictment. This COURSE certainly frees
Mr. Fairbank from every suspicion Of mercenary
motive in the matter. He does not ask for dam
ages, but falls back on the Law Of the state and
demands that, If he has be an ]ibeled, the ibeler
be punished for bis offense. AI1. Fairbank has
retained Judge Trumbul, Mr.. Sidney Smith,
and M1. Leonard Swatt to assist the State's At
torney in the prosecution OF the case.

The Sanitary Convention now in session in
Philadelphia has taken up q very practicA and
very important subject, namely, ventilation in
school-rooms. It is notorious fact that vary
few Of the public-school-buildngs are construct
ed with reference to scientific or thorough ven
tilation- In cold weather, the children are CON-
pelled to breathe bad air, which is all the worso
from being heated In hot weather, the only
way Of ventilation is By opening windows and
letting in strong draft of air upon the heads Of
the children the result Of which is that the more
delicate pupils invariably take cold In addition
to poor ventilation, the children Of course are
deprived Of proper exercise, and 1re not allowed
in many instances sufficient timo for their meals,
"a combination OF evils sufficient to make the
majority Of school-rooms the breeding places Of
disease, aud eowers Of the seeds Of future un-
healthfulness. Too much care cannot be takenin
this respect. Education is Of little account il tho
