PARIS. August 10. 1873.
The attractions of the Trocadero
grounds are by nc means exhausted
when one has lounged among the
hazaars, made purchases of dark
visaged easterns, wandering around
the Chinese pavilion, taken trip to
Yields, through the japanese bamboo
ostackade, and examined the inter
esting contents of the Egyptian an
mex, including the plan of NJ. de
Lessip's and the capital panorama of
the Luez Canal. Opposite the per-
sian pavilion, as inartistic in its glar-
ing red and green outside as it Is
dazzling within, stand three wooden
buildings; a Norwegian cottage and
a Swedish clock-tower and school
house. They form a picturesque
group the Stockholm clock in the
centre, narrow below, square and
bulging at the top. The visitor may
mount the steps that lead to the
door of the school and enter lu

ahd~en and ala Encouraged
him in the hope that he woeld 4pull
through. The doctor didn't regard
the case as dangerous. but tie other
day the patient began to- sink ,andlt
was seen that he could not live the
night out. A dozen of his friends
sat in the room when night came, but
his mind wandered and he did not
recognize them. Il 9@Ga93 ~
1t was near one of the depots, shd

One of the men brushed theEshalr
back from the cold forehead, and the
brakeman closed his eyes and was
quiet for a. time.,ssThen the wind
whirled arouad the depot and banged
the blinds on the window of his room,
and he lifted his eyes and shouted:

men thought he was coming east on
the Michigan Central. The effort
seemed to have greatly exhausted
him, for he lay like one dead for the
next five minutes, and q watcher felt
for his pulse to see if life. had not
gone out, A tug, going down the
river soun.ed her whistle loud and
long. and the dying brakeman open
ed his eyes and called out;
"Ann Arbor ~ - -lA'"
He had been over the road thou
sand times, but had made his last
trip. Death was drawing q special
train over the old track, and he. was
brakeman, engineer and conduct2r.
One of the yard engines uttered a
shrill whistle of warning, as if the
headlight had shown to the
engineer some stranger 10 peril, anc
the brakeman called out: ...

It's EFFEGF.i

A month before the bombardment
of Fort Fisher began, the celebrated
powder explosion occurred which
was intended to blow down this solid
earth-work, a mile in extent, with
forty feet trayerses every few ayards.
Its ridiculous failure isa well remem-
bered. That night after the aexplo-
sion of the powderships some piekets
ON the beach were captnred,anaJ car
ried on board the. Asiminal's 81 ship.
Among them was very selennslook-
ing fellow,, who sat sileutiyaand sadly
chewing tobacco. As there was in
tense curiosity among the officers Of
the fleet to know the result of the re-
markablei experiment, one of them
asked the solemn-looking fred if he
was in the fort when the powderrship
exploded, TO which he replied in the
affirmative, but without exhibiting the
Least interest in the matter; where
upon the officers gathered around
him and began TO ask questions.

Pennsylvania Kissing.
Ph,!adeluhis Timea

In the course Of human events 4
girl 10 certain to get kissed more or
less-probably more-but it isn't al.
ways that the fact gets before . court
or into the newspapers, for all that.
Such things do happen, however, to
the lasting disgrace Of men who 20
about kissing the wrong girl. More
than q year ago Thomas Eppley, of
LycomiDg county, kissed Deliiah Bos-
well. Delilah was bending over q
washtub At the time doing the Bos.
well family wash, and didn't think
much about the matter. II was an ex.
ceedingly lucky thing for Thomas,
because it would be very much like
any girl infuriated by kiss to pour
soapsuds over the offender or duck
him into the tub. After year, how
ever, Delilah suddenly revived the
memory of the kiss in all ito dread full
details, suddenly blushed, suddenly
grew awfally indignant, and in an
impetuous sort Of way concluded to
prosecute the man who had taken the
Kiss for damages. The case came be.
fore the Cont of Quarter Sessions at
Williamsport, few days ago, and the
jury-hsving been around . washtub
itself some In its time probsbly-de-
cided that Thomas was not guilty, and
that Delilah should pay the costs.
This is decision that decides, and Ia
not only . warning to precipitate
young women who get indignant at
nothing year after 1t happens, but it
sives kissing q fair chance to revive
along with the threatened revival of
general bueiness. The Lycoming
county jury has done the civilization
of the ages priceless service in as
serting mans right to hat kiss,
and plenty OF 1t.

THE building ola new bridge across
the Des Moines river is giving rise to
much discussion. 1t Is an important
question. The day is not far distant
In our opinion, when more than one
bridge across the river at this city
will be demanded and the demand
acceded to. Again, the approach to q
bridge opposite the central or business
portion of the city is one Of great ex.
pense and difficult to protect. Time
will more fully develop this and
doubtless lead to information that
will be valuable in making the final
location. 1t must, however, be con.
coded that there must be bridge at
a central point in the city.
Having said this much we come to
consider the proposition of whether
it is not better to buy the present toll
bridge for present purposes. AS vital
to this proposition it should be estab-
lished that the present bridge is safe
one and will continue safe for rea-
sonable period. Establish this fact
and we certainly think it goes great
way in favor of purchasing the toll
bridge if it can be bought at reason
able figure.

AT the New Orleans Commercial

AT the New Orleans Commercial
Convention JEFF Davis was the reign.
ing star. He was greeted with storm,
Of applause. We clip from the re.
ported proceedings the following &C.
count OF the part Mr.. Davis took il
the convention:
Mr.. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi,
arose to address the convention
[ Prolonged applause.] Mr.. Davis said
not only did he represent the State OF
Mississippi upon this important ques.
ton, but every State bordering upon
that great river. There are two i'm.
portant objects toward the improve.
ment of the Mississippi River to be
overcome-the caving In of its banks
ana the overflow Of the same.
Mr.. Hogan, of Missouri, suggested
that Mr.. Davis occupy the platform.
[Applause.l
Mr.. Davis then proceeded through
the center aisle and ascended the plat.
form, when he was again greeted
with loud applause. Mr.. Davis thank.
ed the delegates for the honor con-
ferred upon him and resumed his re-
marks. He said the resolutions &C.
companying the report were full and
complete; that had he the drafting
Of them he could not add . word to
their effect or purpose, nor would he
take one word therefrom. They were
complete in expressing the objects to
be desired for the improvement Of the
navigation of that great river. Rail.
roads might come, and railroads
might go, but the Mississippi River
would flow on to the end Of time, and
the city of New Orleans ultimately
become one os the mightiest empori.
ums of the world-a city of com.
merce second to none among nations
AZ Mr.. Davis claimed to represen,
every State bordering upon the Mis-.
sissippi, it is certainly due to sur rep.
resentative that Iowa people should
know what he said.
