The practice of whole life, says an
observant philosopher, will not enable
a woman to throw q stone with grace
and accuracy. 1t was one Of the first
and most knotty physiological prob
lens which presented itself to our
youthful mind-why our big sister,
when she tried to throw a SNOWFALL at
US, almost invariably sent it careening
over the top of the house, while l in
turn could pop her in the ear almost
every time. 1t may be that we took
. mean advantage of this discrimina-
ton of nature in our behalf against
our sister, and it may be that we inn
proved the opportunity to rake her
fore and aft every time she came with

BROADBRIM'S LETTER FROM PARIS.

THE sEvREs CoLLECTIoN-THE WONDERFUL
GoBELINs--GEN. GRANTS OVATION
GENERAL NEWS.
You will recoilect that left off my de-
cription last week with the Prince of Wales
collection. Now pass down the hall to the
right and we find ourselves before the cele-
brated Sevres collection. This exhibition
is rather to be valued for its excellence
than it's extent; and in one sense it is grew
ously disappointing. The fame of this
great establishment has been so world
wide, that one would naturally expect to
find large and varied collection; the very
reverse is the case, there being an entire
absence of those magnificent tea and
dinner sets, which are associated in the
minds of every one with the name of
Sevres porcelain. One small set of tea
cups is all, the rest being made up of
magnificent vases which call for more than
a passing mention. The vases here ex-
hibted are not exceptional in design; in
that respect they are surpassed by number
in different parts of the Exposition, but as
specimens of pure exalted artistic beauty,
they stand where you would naturally ex-
pect to find them, without rival. OF one
feature it is impossible to speak in terms
of too ilattering commentator, and that
is the noble purity and chastity of the
ornameutation. One prizes such revela-
ton as this the more when you are sur
rounded by unclean things, and there is
much in this Great Exposition that might
safely be relegated to the disecting room,
or the closet of the anatomical student.
In the Sevres collection, what there is of
1t, everything is beautiful; pair of black
vases enamcled with figures of the purest
and tleeciest white, challenge especial ad-
miration. The work is wonderful and soft
as a midsummer night dream. Another
vase is of the lovelest amber, on which
fairy figures melt into the clouds, and on
another peacock, gorgeous in his rainbow
plumage, is one of the most remarkable
works of art in the entire collection
There is but one small tea set, which rests
in beautiful case; on casual glance you
would be inclined to pass it by; but if you
did, you would Mss one of the rarest
pieces of art ever seen in any land. Not
one in IA thousand examines it critically,
and can scarcely blame them when they
are surrounded by so much that is beautiful
and striking: but this little set is one of
those gems which one seldom sees in a
lifetime. You are now near some works,
the equal of which has never been produced
in the world. Everybody who has travelled,
imagines that they have have seen les
Gobelias Faded hangings are to be found

they are for sale in most of the second

by the way, is rather a misnomer, you will
have to come to the Paris Exposition.

THE TEXT FROM WHICH sHAKsPERE WROTE
HIS VERSION.


Friends, Romans, countrymen! Lend me
your ears;
l will return them next Saturday. come
To bury Caesar, because the times are bard
And his folks can't afford to hire an under
taker.
The evil that men do lives after them
In shape of progeny that reap the
Benefit of their life insurance.
So let it be with the deceased,
Brutus hath told you Cesar was ambitious:
What does Brutus know about it?
1t is none of his funeral. Would that it
were!
Here, under leave of you, come to
Make speech at Caesars funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me;
He loaned me five dollars once when | was
in pinch
And signed my petition for post office.
But Brutus says he was ambitious.
Brutus should wipe off his chin.
Caesar hath brought many captives home to
Rome
Who broke rock on the streets until their
ransomS
Did the general Golfers fill.
When that the poor hath cried, Caesar hath
wept,
Because it didn't cost anything, and
Made him solid with the masses. [Cheers.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff,
\ ct BrutuS says he was ambitious.
Brutus is liar and | can prove it.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
thrice presented him Il kingly crown
Which thrice he did refuse, because it did
not tit him quite.
Was this ambitious Yet Brutus says he
was ambitious.
Brutus is not only the biggest liar in the
country,
But he is horse thief of the deepest dye.
Applause
If you have tears, prepare to shed them
now.
You all do know this ulster. Laughter.
| remember the first time ever Caesar put
1t was on Summers evening in his tent,
With the thermometer registering ninety
degrees in the shade;
But it was an ulster to be proud of,
And cost him seven dollars at Marcus
SwartZmeyer's,
Corner of Fulton and Ferry Sts, sign of
the red flag.
Old Swartz wanted forty dollars for it.
But finally came down to seven dollars, be-
cause it was Caesar.
Was this ambitious? Ii Brutus saws it was.
He is even greater liar than Mrs. Tilton!
Look! in this place ran Cassius's dagger
through:
Through this the sun of a gun of Brutus
stabbed,
And, when he plucked his cursed steel away,
Mark Antony, how the blood of Caesar fol-
lowed it.
Cheers and cries of Give us something
on the Electoral bill.' Hit him agaip!'
&c.
| come not, friends, to steal away your
hearts
am not a thief, as Brutus is
Brutus has monopoly in all that business,
And, if he had his deserts, he would be
In the penitentiary, and don't you forget it!
Kind friends, sweet friends, | do not wish
to stir you up
To such sudden flood of mutiny,
And, as it looks like rain,
The pail bearers will proceed to place the
coffin in the hearse,
And we will proceed to bury Caesar,
Not to praise him.
