Ir is somewhat remarkable that no
accident was reported in Paris on the
opening day of the Exhibition, although
no less than 500, 900 persons visited the
Champ de Mars and the Irocadero.
The grand cascade in front of the Gen.
trail hall of the Trocadero Palace con-
tains over 1000 cubic yards of excava-
ton and masonry, and cost f24, 800.
During the Exhibition telegraph and
postal bureau will be established in the
buildings of the Exhibition. Only such
persons as have cards or have paid their
entrance into the Exhibition will have
access to this bureau. The Grande
Sale DIES Fetes of Fine Arts on the
Trocadero is ninety-four feet in height,
and will be lighted by 4,Ot 0 gas-burners.

An AIl-Night Game and the Worst Whal-
ing John Ever Got.

An AIl-Ntght Game and the Worst Whal-
ing John Ever Got.
Says the New York corn espondent of
the Buffalo Courier "'Ben Wood, as
everybody has always called him, has
never been other than a thoroughly good
fellow, and of course he had legions OF
friends. In fact, pretty much every
one within the scope of his acquaint-
ance is his friend, in one sense or an
other, and he has no enemies worth
speaking of. 1t is we'll known that he
once kept up intimate relations with the
tiger, and had a strong penchant for
'bucking' that animal in his lair, and
his failure has set old gossip going
again. Some of his quondam chums
have been rehearsing the famous bout
he once had with John Morrissey, in
the latter's club house in Twenty-fourth
street. The story has been told several
times, but may bear mention again.
Ben was in the habit of dropping into
Morrissey's place occasionally for lit
tie recreation, and one night about ten
years ago he sauntered in as usual, and
fell afoul of the bank. Morrissey was
there and many men about town, all oil
whom knew Woods pluck and hang-on-
ativeness, and the party settled down
for some lively work. Wood had about
SO, 900 in his pocket, and az the betting
was heavy he managed to get to the bot
tom in about an hour. In fact he was
cleaned out. But his blood was up that
night, and as his reputation for pluck
among the boys was at stake he decided
that once for all it should make OF
break. His ready cash was gone, but
he owned valuable property on Tryor
row, where the Stats ZeiSet,ag building
now stands, and he proposed to hypoth
ecate the property 20 Morrissey against
whatsoever sum, up to lts value, ht
should lose. The offer was accepted
and the great fight began. 1t lasted al
night and up to 9 o'clock next morning
and when truce was finally called Der
had won back the $1,000 he started
with and scored about $4,000 ahead
besides. With the money that Morris
sey had advanced to him on the hypothe
Gated property he turned around an6
gave john the worst whaling he ever re
ceived at the card table. Not sign Of
wincing was shown on either side til
physical exhaustion forced a cessation o.
hostilities. Both men were true grit tC
the last, and neither showed the leas
ill-temper from beginning to end. i
was on that occasion that Ben performed
the extraordinary feat of smoking S9(
worth of cigars in one night. Morrissey
had special brand of cigars at 81 eacl
for his flush customers, and Wood, whc
is tremendous smoker Cor chewer
rather, Tor he merely chews fariously a
cigar, and then filings it away, man
aged TO spoil ninety OF them while thu
fight lasted"

A TOUCHING incident occurred in a
Georgia courtroom not long ago. An
old negro of 60 was on trial for having
killed another negro who had insulted
his wife. The prisoner was well and
widely known as peaceable, industrious
and inoffensive. Before the verdict was
announced a venerable man arose, and,
in voice full o. emotion, spoke of the
early life of the prisoner, who had been
his slave. He had been the nurse and
the companion of his children, and al
ways an affectionate, obedient and in
dustrious servant; and the old master
pleaded for his former slave with earnes,
feeling and fearful eyes. Every one in
the courtroom was deeply affected. In
consideration of extenuating circum
stances, the Judge imposed light sen
tence of three years in the penitentiary
the verdict being voluntary man
slaughter, with recommendation tC
mercy.

THE main building of the Paris Exhi-
bition, in the Champ de Mars, is of iron
and glass, the roof being half of glass
and half of slate, with awnings beneath
the glass to soften the light. 1t covers
an area of 27O, 900 square yards, and
lengthwise it has twelve principal ave-
nues, six of them belonging to France
and six to foreign countries. England
has 81, 1926 square meters of space; other
nations much less amount, in the fol-
lowing order; Belgium, Austria and
Hungary, Russia, Italy; and the United
States next, having 1880 square meters.
Other countries have still less space. The
river Seine separates the main building
from the Trocadero Palace, on the hill
opposite the Champ de Mars, the Bridge
of jena being the passageway between.
The Trocadero is permanent structure
of stone, in semicircular form, it's central
portion being huge hall, where must
cal and other entertainments will be held
during the Exhibition.

"I don't suppose Joey ever knew

The little girls slid quietly down from
the old gentleman's lap while he was

GRAND CANON, in Colorado, has per-
pendicular walls 1900 feet in height.
The face of the rock has narrow shelves,
one of which has been enlarged, so as to
make path, by laborers on the railroad
that runs through the canon. A party
was going along this dizzy path, when
the horse ridden by woman FELL She
chung to the rock, but the horse went
out of sight, to be surely killed, as was
supposed. On looking down, however,
the beast was seen standing on a shell
twenty inches wide, and hugging the
wall with all its might. A rescue was eff
fected with ropes.

recently. The firm had effected the sale
OF a farm in neighboring town, of which
it's owner had authorized the disposal.
After drawing up the necessary papers
the agent drove to the place, about ten
miles distant, to obtain the wife's sigma
ture to the deed. There was some lit
tie exhibition of wrath and chagrin when
the woman resolutely put her foot
down" and refused to sign the paper and
give up her old home. Expostulation
was in vain, and the sale was not con-
summated. Evidently the wife had not
been consulted by her husband.

The Virginia City Enterprise reports
that an Englishman in Nevada proposes,
if $3.50, 900 can be raised, to bore two ar
tesian wells, eighteen inches apart, the
one six and the other four-inch bore,
to the depth of 5000 feet. Then he will
drop into one apowder cartridge wrapped
in rs bestos, so that subter7anean heat
will not explode it until it reaches the
bottom. The explosion then will unite
the two wells, the water poured down
one will be converted by subterranean
heat into steam and sent through the
other, where the power can be transmit
ted to any required point.

A SPAN of horses drawing a carriage
ran away in Chicago, and the driver was
thrown off. Three women in the car
riage screamed for dozen blocks with
out bringing anybody to their rescue.
Then one of them broke the window in
front, crawled through the aperture,
reached down to the loose reins, and
stopped the horses. Her companions
saved her from falling over the dash
board by holding to her legs.

THE British cotton-factory strikers at

to the rapid increase of machinery, the
excessive working of over time by three

cloths, the famines in India and China,
and the depression of trade of every de-

LONDON papers are trying to allay the
panic created among British shipping
interests by reports of Russia's prepare
tons for the equipment of a feet of
Alabamas on this side of the Atlantic.
Great confidence is expressed that the
American Government will faithfully
execute the treaty of Washington,
which prohibits the fitting out of pri-
vateers or other armed vessels in the
ports of the United States by any ma
ton at war with England. 1t is also
contended that Russian armed vessels
will be much more likely to be run
down by British cruisers than to make
much havoc among British merchant
men. All this is cheerful enough, nc
doubt, but ship-owners who remember
how American commerce suffered fol
years from two or three rebel ships will
hardly take much comfort from it. A
single fast-sailing steamer like the State
of California, just launched and sold Il
the Russians at Philadelphia, might
sink or capture score of the most val
liable ships in England's mercantile
marine in week, by cruising on regular
routes of the transatlantic lines, or by
watching for Calcutta or Australian
steamers. ALI the vigilance of a hun
dred cruisers could not be depended
upon to defeat such raids or to captur,
the raiders.

The Left Arm.

Mr.. Charles Reade's eloquence abou!
the use of the left arm has elected a
very Characteristic controversy in the
French papers as to which is the correct
arm to offer lady when you take hei
down to dinner. The chivalrous theory
is to give her the left, in order to defend
her with the right; the amatory theory
is to do the same, in order that she may
be next your heart; but the more simple
way Is to do as the master of the house
does, who remembers on which side OF
the stairs his balusters run, and acts &C.
