PARIS, FRANCE.

Special Correspondence Of the Standard.
PARIS, FRANCE.
Leaving Geneva by the early
morning train our course, for short
distance, lies along the valley of the
Rhone, and thence across the Jura
range of mountains into France.
MACON.
This is the first place we reach of
any importance, and is situated on
the River Rhone. It is noted as
being the birthplace of Lamartine,
and is also famous for its wines.
Continuing on, with brief pauses at
Chalons and Dion, we arrive at
EoUrAINBLEAU,
A place of considerable import
ance, about IS miles from Paris.
It is situated in the midst of for
est, 60 miles in extent. The rrin-
ciple object Of interest is the chat
eau or palace of the Emperor's,
which is especially interesting on
account of its historical associa-
tons. Here NAPOLEON and Josephine
were divorced; here Pope Pious VII.
was retained for time as a captive,
here also Napoleon signed his abdi-
cation in the year 1914.
PARIS.
Arriving at Paris, my first care
was to secure accommodations at the
New York & London hotel, on Place
an Havre. This house is we'll ar
ranged, and being centrally situated,
easy access is afforded to all parts
of the city. Paris, with its two
millions of inhabitants, is situated
on both sides of the river Seine.
The>riv is spanned by twenty-five
fine bridges. The city is almost
circular in form and entirely sur
rounded by q fortified wall. AS to its
origin, very little is really known, or
to the exact time when Paris was
founded.
1t was inhabited by tribe of
semi-barbarians in the time of
Julius Caesar, and gradually rose
into importance after its conquest
by the Romans. A cathedral church
is said to have been erected here as
early as A. D. 400 by Clovis. Butvery
little was accomplished in the way of
public improvements until the 18th
century. And, in fact, it remained
for NAPOLEON III. to inaugerate a
spirit of public enterprise, such as
Paris has never seen before, nor
since. As you walk about Paris to-
day. very few reminders are to be
seen of the dark days of communism
of 1871. The ruins of the Tuleries,
and few others, still remain, but
these are fast disappearing. Whole
streets which were raized to the
ground have been rebuilt, and thou
sand of houses that were injured
have been restored; SO that very few
traces exist of the anarchy and
ruin which once prevailed. During
the seige of Paris, extending over
a period Of 81 months, about eight
thousand French soldiers lost their
lives, and during the same period
the death rate of Paris increased 60
, per cent from scarcity of food and
clothing. The following item, from
the bill o. far, to which the French
people we're reduced were not with
out interest during the period above
mentioned:

The WAY OF THE WoRLD.-The fol

IHE WAY OF THE WORLD.-Iho fol-
lowing truthful words we copy from
an exchange. They indicate the
selfish nature of mankind, as exem-
pli6edin everyday life. To laud the
rich, the powerful, and ignore a
just recognition of industry and
merit, seems to be q universal trait
of human nature. "He is n poor
hard working man trying to pay his
honest debts and support his family
by honest toll; but Ego for him, !"
because he cannot pay you few
dollars he owes. He is entitled to
no consideration. Kick him down!
Help him! He is a rich man, who
made an assignment lives in a fine
mansion and walks leisurely, enjoy
ing life, while his wife and children
are deprived of none of the luxuries
of wealth or the enjoyment of socie-
ty. He's smart, an enterprising bust
ness man, it is pity he robbed his
creditors. Don't say anything to
hurt his tender feelings, nor expect
him to soil his delicate fingers by
toll. He compounded with his cred
itors at twenty-five or thirty per cent.
and now lives in luxurious ease, IN
henored, respected citizen and a
prominent man.
EDUcATIoNAL.-Quite number OF
visitors attended Union Academy on
Thursday afternoon, to witness the
closing exercises of the examination
for the half-year's term of school
which has just closed in that institu-
ton. The classes examined wore,-
one in Latin grammar, from the Aca-
demic Department, under the man
agemcnt of Prof. Royal; two in in
termediate geography, representing
respectively the intermediate and
Primary Departments, and two cor
responding ones in arithmetic. The
remainder of the evening was occu-
pied, during school hours, in a pro
miscuous examination of all the class.
es in arithmetic in school. Upon
| the whole. the showing was very cred.
table to both teachers and pupils,
as perhaps no class was examined
which was not found worthy of pro.
motion.
DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLER - Mr..
Charles Graham. an old resident OF
this and Mason counties, died at Ar
cadia, on the 10Th inst, in the 18th
year of his age. He was born in Cay.
uga county, New York. and lived there
till he attained his majority, when he
removed to Madison, Indiana, and
engaged largely in the furniture bus
mess. His factory was finally des.
troyed by fire, and from that time he
became wanderer, withou, any fixed
abode, until he crossed the plains to
Oregon, in 1850. In 1852 he came
to Puget Sound, where he has resided
continuously till the day Of his death.
The immediate cause of his death
was paralysis, but age had reduced
the spark of life to a mere glimmer,
liable to be extinsuished by breath.
He leaves relatives in Oregon and
Indiana.

Our INFLUENCE AT WASHINGTON. :


Our INFLUENCE AT WAsH1NGToN.-
The amount of influence welded by
the Delegate from this Territory at
Washington is indicated by the ac-
ton of the House, after the discus
sion last Saturday, on the St. James
Mission bill. The report says that
very spirited debate occurred be-
tween Jacobs and Buckner, of Mis-
souri,, Chairman of the committee
reporting the bill. Jacobs, after
showing that the Land Department
and Attorney-Gen have. repeat
eddy decided against the claim, in
formed the House that it covered
the whole town of Vancouver and
the military reservation, estimated
to be worth 81 100000. He there
fore argued that all parties should
be left to fight out their contest in
the courts. Buckner rejoined that
the government had given missions Of
other religious denominations pat
ents for GAO acres each, and argued
that the issuance of a patent in this
case would facilitate Judicial settle
ment of the controversy without inju-
ry to either party, as the bill reserved
all adverse rights and expressly pro-
vides that in the event of the courts
confirming the title to the Catholic
Church, the United States may re-
move all Government property.
Jacobs then showed that the effect
of the bill would be to Immediately
compel the citizens of Vancouver to
pay rent to the mission; but despite
his strenuous opposition the House
passed the bill by vote of two to
one. All the Pacific coast members
present voted in the affirmative.
RIVER IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMEND
ED.-A Washington City correspon-
dent of the San Francisco Bulletin
has the following in regard to the
improvement of the Oregon and
Washington Territory rivers and
the appropriations recommended
"Gen. Humphreys recommends ap-
preparations of s45, 900 for improving
the Lower Willamette and Colum.
bia and Snake rivers. He states that
Major Wilson's project for the per.
manent improvement of the William.
cite and Columbia rivers from Port
land to the sea, has been referred to
the board of engineers for the Pacific
coast for opinion thereon; and, with.
out comment, transmits to the Secre.
tary of War for the information Of
Congress, the elaborate reports OF
Majors Wilson and Michler, of sur.
veys of Alsea river and bar; Puyal-
lup river from the coal mines to its
mouth; for a canal to connect Shoal-
water Bay with the Columbia river,
and of the mouth of the Nehalem riv.

of Congress in 1875, with view to
determining the practicability and
expediency of making the improve

TRAVELS IN NORTHERN VT.

Ed. Monitor thought it might not
be uninteresting to the numerous read
ers of your excellent paper, to tell them
little of my travels in Northern Vt.
Coming up on the Concord & Montreal
railroad, [ entered Vermont at Wells
River. This village may be quite pic
turesque in summer, but | found it very
quiet, even dull, while l was there.
crossed over by railroad to Montpelier;
visited the State House and also the NJ.
Z. Seminary on the hill. The school is
excellent, but needs more patronage, as
its running expenses far exceed its rev.
enue. From this place, I took a team
to Hardwick, stopping at new hotel
kept by two brothers. This little village
seemed all alive with excitement. Which
ever way l turned, people were talking
temperance If | asked about the wealth.
er the reply would be: care you men,
Der of the Reform Club % The house
was so pleasant, the landlord so gentle
manly, that l left with many regrets.
From this village | went to Craftsbury.
AS 1 approached this village from the
south, l noticed two or three fine dwell
ing houses, which have been recently
erected. Upon reaching the hotel, l was
made comfortable by the obliging land
lord, who could not do too much for my
happiness. inquired of some of the
villagers if the host was always in his
present humor 'Oh most certainly, !"
they answered she is member of our
Reform Club, and that is enough to en-
list any ones interest in these times. "
l attended the meeting of the club re-
ferred to, and found full house, and
much interest manifested. | could hard
ly believe that in so small town, where
l had thought brief stay was too long
to be desirable, | should find so much
to interest me, and to make time pass
pleasantly; and l sincerely regretted
that my time was so limited that l could
remain only one night in the place. II
ever | visit there again, which I trust
may, l shall stop at the same hotel, and
shall advise every one else to do the
same. My visit to Newport and Derby
l will describe in some future article.

Potato YEAsT.-Peel twenty pota-
toes; pore boiling water over them
enough to cover, then add one handful
of salt, and cook them we'll. When done
do not pour off the water, but beat them
until quite fine. Then add half a cup
of white sugar, and when cool,-but not
cold,-add one cup of home yeast. Let
it simmer till the next day, and bottle
it for future use. One small teacupful
is enough for four loaves of bread.
