Paris Exposition. 1878.
New York Commercial Advertiser.


Baron Krantz, Director General of the
Exposition, writes to the Committee OF
merchants in this city that the Exposi-
ton will be held without question, and
that every aid will be rendered to Ameri-
can exhibitors, who are likely to be SC
late in their cooperation. Count
D'Oultremont, Belgian Commissioner,
and M. Cody, Secretary, at the Philadel-
phia Exhibition, have been appointed to
the same position at Paris. The South
America Republics have unitedly agreed
upon the Consul General of Venezuela
in Paris to represent their interests at
the French Exposition. President Mac
Mahon, in his visit to the works on the
Exposition grounds, addressed the Direc-
tor General, Baron Krantz, as follows
=" am come to visit your works to pro-
test against the rumors which are cur
rent relative to the adjournment of the
Universal Exhibition. 1t shall not be
delayed, and it will open at the date
fixed, May /, 1878. take pains thus to
assure the result of your labor, which
can alone make this great enterprise sue
cessful." The President visited all sec
lions of the grounds, and expressed his
qualification at the rapid progress of the
work 1t has been decided to close the
main avenues on each side of the Seine
to the public, and make new road tun-
neled under the Quai d'Orsay, where the
general travel will be carried on without
interruption. Arrangements have been
made with Mr.. Denis, the celebrated
horticulturist, to plant all the trees nee
essary to adorn the park and approaches,
one thousand francs having been APP
propriated for the purpose. 1t should
be clearly understood by our horse
fanciers and stock raisers that special
facilities will be given at the Paris Ex-
position for stock Of all kinds, and that
not only medals in gold, and bronze will
be awarded, but also prizes in money.

Where the Air Begins.

Professor Pettenkofer writes in the
Popular Science Monthly: If we say Of
the surface of the earth that it is the
limit of the earth and the beginning OF
the atmosphere, we are not correct in
reference to the latter. The air begins
much below the ground, and we ought
to say that where the ground, which is a
mixture of earth, water and air, ends,
from there the atmosphere exists alone.
1t is no wonder that no particular at
tention was paid to the air in soil; its
presence there does not make any direct
impression on any one of our Senses we
infer its presence more from other ex-
periences and consequent conclusions.
The human mind formerly looked upon
the air as something unsubstantial, spir-
itual, although men saw the effect of
hurricanes; no wonder, then, that no
one thought of the air hidden in the
ground, which cannot even blow the
hat from our head.

CHARLOTTE BRoNTE's sister Emily,
the authoress of Wuthering Heights
possessed extraordinary courage. Timid
as a fawn in society, and afraid to hear
herself speak, but in the face of appall-
ing danger she was self-possessed,
knowing no fear. She was passionately
fond of dogs, and always took them for
company in her walks. One day when
she was giving water to dog at the par
sonage door-her father was a clergymen
he bit her hand severely
and showed evident symptoms of
madness. The brave girl uttered NO cry
of pain, nor called for help. Walking
calmly to the kitchen, she found an iron
heating on the fire and applied it to her
arm. She held it without finching till
the wound was thoroughly cauterized,
and broad scar remained, which was
visible to the day of her death. Neither
of her sisters knew what had happened
till many weeks afterward, when, think
ing all danger had passed, she informed
them.

Murder and Robbery of Immigrants by
Texas Highwaymen.

The Galveston Nea0s says: A family
of immigrants were passing through
Wilson County last week, and camped
near Stockdale in house occupied by a
family by the name of Thomas. Early
in the morning Thomas and his two sons
went to the camp and commenced to
murder and rob them. One of the boys
was in the woods getting frewood, and,
when the Thomases made the attack,
broke and run. After going a short
distance he met few of Lieutenant
Halls men. The boy took them for
some more of the robbers and ran from
them, but was followed and overtaken.
As soon as they caught him they asked
him why he was running, and he told
them that his father, mother, and three
brothers were murdered short distance
from there. The men took the boy and
put him behind one of them, and he di-
rected them to the place. As they came
in sight one of the young Thomases dis
covered them and ran off They took
after him, captured him, and found
81 800 on his person. As the other men
rode up they found old man Thomas and
another son breaking into trunks. The
murderers were all arrested

A LIFE INSURANCE DECISION.

Life insurance law has been enriched
with another decision of interest to both
insurers and insured. In 1870 Regina
Mansbach took out a policy on the life
of her husband in the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company of New York. In
1873 the company refused to take the
premium then due, and Cancelled the
policy, claiming that Mr.. Mansbach (who
is still living was guilty of misrepresen-
tation when taking out the policy in
saying that he had no chronic disease,
when in fact he was suffering from
bronchitis in chronic form. Suit was
brought to compel the company to re-
store the policy, and on the trial two
physicians who examined Mansbach in
1873 testified that in their opinion the
disease was chronic three years before.
The court expressed the opinion that it
was extremely doubtful whether any
physician could predict the condition of
any person at a given time from an ex-
animation made two years afterwards,
and held in addition that the examina-
ton in the case was 50 cursory and
superficial that its result could not be
ollowed as against the examination of a
physician made at the time the insur-
ance was effected and Mansbaeh's posi-
tive denial that he was afflicted as
charged. He holds further that the
plaintiff has an interest sufficient to
maintain the action, and that, after the
company's refusal to receive the pre-
MUM, it was not necessary to make
further tender. He therefore gives judg-
ment for the plaintiff that the company
receive the premiums and restore the
policy

A vegetarian's Experience.

Speaking at vegetable banquet at
Leeds, in England, the other day, the
Rev. G. III. Collyns said he was descended
from long line of equity ancestors. He
had been a sufferer from govt, but hav-
ing more than ten years ago become a
total abstainer, and having, not long
afterward, become vegetarian, he had
gradually driven the govt out, and could
give no other reason for it except pure
and wholesome living-total abstinence
from alcoholic liquors and from flesh
meat. The teeth of man showed that he
was not a carniveroua but frugivorous
animal, and the stomach, he contended,
also showed that he was intended not
to re ceive flesh, but the fruits of
the earth. He would not go back to his
former mode of life for anything that
could be given to him. Vegetarian diet
agreed with the delicate as well as the
robust 1t was wholesome and enjoy
able, and to it he owed new issue of
life.

itate against it with us speaks in It's
favor in England, namely, Usage. John
Bull does not like his beef the day afte
1t is killed; it must have few days to
season and become mellow and tender,
and these days may as well be passed on
the ocean as elsewhere. The business of
transporting fresh beef to England is no
longer a risky experiment; it has become
a fixed business, and is just now giving
employment to unemployed steamers
that else might be lying idle for want of
freight. 1t is highly probable that yes
sells will finally be built for the express
purpose of transporting meat and other
commodities that need preservation in
refrigerators.

Turkish Cavalry in 1928.

The horses, especially those of the
Asiatic Spahis, were small but fiery, well
broken, capable of enduring fatigue and
privations. Kurdish and Cappadocian
horses were accustomed to be picketed,
and to bear the midday heat and the
midnight cold. They were only watered
once day, and kept in condition
without barley, when fed on the coarsest
fodder. The light and easy-ftting
palanu or saddle, made of felt, remained
on their backs day and night, so that
the horseman was ready at any moment
to mount. The bit was very severe for
so well-broken an animal, and was in
tended to stop the horse suddenly in mid
career, or to wheel him round in a
moment. The bar of the bit was often
five or six inches long, and instead of
the curb-chain there was ring The
round shoe was admirably suited to its
purpose. The steel was forged cold, was
thin and light, lasted five or six weeks,
and protected the hoof admirably on
stony ground. Although they use no
cruppers the Turkish horsemen rides
down the most precipitous places,
covered with brushwood or trees, at full
gallop.-Roumelia in 1928 29.- Von
Mcltke.

Mr.. BARRY SULLIVAN, the actor, has
recently undergone a singular operation
connected with an eye-lash. 1t will be
remembered that at Drury Lane theater,
MacdufTs sword accidentally struck him
in the eye causing ali abrupt termination
of his engagement and his retirement for
some weeks. In the end he left the doc
tors hands cured, as was believed, but
ever since he has been troubled with a
curious affection of thee eye, Having con-
suited All oeulist, the conclusion was ar
rived at that there must be something in
the eye-ball itself. Barry Sullivan con-
sented to undergo the necessary operation
for testing this theory. His eye-ball was
cut open, and from it there was taken an
eye-lash, which had been thrust in at the
point of the sword.

COMMENTS ON THE WAR.

The effect in England of reported Rus
sian successes has been to renew the dis
cussion about British interests, and Rus
sian newspapers like the Daily Telegraph
and Morning Post, greatly excited, call for
instant preparations to protect the inter
ests and honor of the country, which lie
under most direct menace. They find
the Cars proclamation a revolutionary
manifesto, manifesting a determination
to annex Bulgaria. They add to this
the reputed intention of Russia to claim
Armenia and the Turkish ironclad fleet
as indemnity, and force the passage of
the Dardanelles, and declare such changes
would rob England of her real rampant
for her Eastern empire. But it is noticea-
BILE that papers of quite different class
are beginning to exhibit uneasiness.
The Economist calls attention to the
probability that if the Dardenelles are
to be kept closed against the Russians by
force, England must do it alone, because
the other powers are not sufficiently in
terested in that result to justify the
anticipation of their cooperation. The
Observer declares the time has arrived
when the government should know itself
and be prepared to enforce its views
when necessity demands, and the Turk
ish papers are very guarded in their COM
ments and devote attention chiefly to
discussing the Austrian position, and at
lacking the ministry for not taking the
opportunity to make further declaration

FARMING INTERESTS.

The Department of Agriculture
reports oats in superior condi-
ton in New England, in most of
the Southern States, in those of
the Missouri Valley and Oregon, and in
fair to high condition in the remaining
States except California. The South is
finding immunity from loss in their red
rust-proof oats. The indications are ia
vorable for good yield of barley, though
decrease of area is reported in the
Western States. The condition is high
est west of the Mississippi. There is an
increase of clover, especially in the
South, and very marked in Texas.
Spring pasture has not been abundant in
Northern New England, in the West, in
Virginia and Texas, and in Oregon. 1t
has been injured in Southern New Eng
and, and in the Middle States, prior to
the recent rains, by dry weather
Drought has reduced the condition in
portions of the South. The injury from
this cause has been great in California.
Pasturage has been generally good in the
Territories. An investigation into the
losses of sheep during the past year
shows total of nearly three million
of sheep and lambs destroyed by dogs and
wolves and various diseases, and an ag-
gregate money value of nearly eight mil
lion dollars. The average of loss is nearly
eight per cent. The proportion is high
est respectively in North Carolina,
Florida, and Louisiana, and ranges from
seventeen per cent. in the former State
to three ard seven-tenths in Nebraska.
The rate is the highest in the South,
and lowest in tbs States having dog
laws.
