Paris Letter.
There is now told u funny story OF very
scientific clerk in 3 provincial bookstore who.
during the defense OF Paris, was afflicted with Il
grand desire and new method OF destroying
the be1caguering Prussians. Every morning he
sent to the Committee Of Defense report, and
one Of these reports, reading rs follows, has
been lately discovered:
s. In the na11lc of the Holy Ono. having con-
suited the Lord Of Hosts, ami being authorized
to destroy the Prussian battalions, ne have de-
cided aud do decide:
s'The air which We breathe is composed of
two eascs--o1ygcn which supports life: and
nitrogen which destroys 1t.
Therefore, in order to destroy an army sud
denly and without remedy, it is only necessary
tu suppress instantly the oxygen in the atmos-
pherc. ami all the soldiers will fall down dead
killed br the nitrogen"
1t is said tllat 50 simple and ingenious prop
osit:on as this was received with shouts Of
laughter. so Paris fell.

Huntington has pretty little settlement
called Dayyillc, nestled a1nouns the mountains
near the Boston g. Albany Railroad, OF which
the principal business is the manufacture Of
shoe e-pegs,-an insignificant business, it would
seem, but important enough to be distinct and
interesting industry The shop belongs to a.
G. Day l. Son, and is the principal one OF the
kind in all this region. The pegs are made OF
birch wood, which comes to the mill in logs !
foot or two in diameter. and these are peeled
and cut into slices Of the length Of the pegs to
be made.
The sections then pass through MACHINE
which points the pegs there being from ~ ooG to

place for over thirty years, and the goods have
been sold in all sections Of the country, and even
in England.

have agreed to acknowledge the meritorious
zeal Of Russia on behalf OF the Christians
In Turkey. The replies Will be carefully
worded to make Russia's retreat from her
threatening position easy, It is understood
the Powers will also propose that the Porte
be granted term for the execution Of re-

accept, the, suggestions OF the Powers,
though probably endeayoring to fasten on
them some responsibility for the future, and
will speedily demobilize her army.

MAJOR MAYo's FORTHCOMING WORK.
The following is the copy OF an extract
from letter from the Rev. DR.. John f..
Edwards, OF this city, to Major Joseph
Mayo:
.Scyeral notices Of a work which l I'M
derstand you propose putting to press at an
early day have met my eye in the columns
OF our city papers. / am happy to lind the
forthcoming volume spoken of in such high
terms Of commentator. Nearly ayear ago
a friend Of yours placed a large portion OF
the manuscript in my hands for eX-
animation, without giving me hint OF
the name OF the author; nor was II
till I had read the manuscript and had
given him, in a letter, my impression
OF the literary merits OF the work that L
learned you were the writer. Now that see
YOU are taking steps to publish the volume,
wish to express to you personally through
this medium my high estimate OF this charm
ing production Of your facile and graceIul
pen. gathered from the portion l read,
which comprehended the body OF the work,
that you designed it purely as historical
romance, covering n stirring period in the
colonial and revolutionary history OF our
country, combining yourself, as to geograpll-
lcal lllNlts, mainly W 4uaIN iauli anu hHo@NA I"
Virginia.
I'm the perusal OF the manuscript was
held TO the closcly-written page by sort OF
weird fascination and enchantment. The
graphic portraiture OF character; the life
like delineation OF domestic scenes and OF
social life; the strikingly picturesque de-
scriptions OF natural scenery; the pleasing
representations OF the habits, customs, and
popular amusements Of the times, together
with the prevailing sentiments and exciting
contests Of the period, are all SO wildly
drawn and SO deity interviewer with the
web of the narrative that 1 was re.
luctant to lay down the manuscript till
] reached the denouement. Nor was !
less pleased with the high moral tone
that pervaded the story than was
with the features just alluded to. Then, it;
sound philosophy as it struck my mind
and the NIGEL -balanced views expressed
touching civil and political questions, were
much to my liking. AS literary compose
ton deem it uneXceptionable. Some O
the colioquies / regard as inimitabie. fht
humor is refreshing and mirth-provokinS
With all, it considers some great questions
from standpoint seldom occupied by
writers in this country. Should you sue
ceed in getting the work before the reading
public predict for it a generous reception
and wide circulation"
