but that the work would have been done
any better there than here is pure assump-
ton.
The house joinery in Paris is no better
than that in England. As evidence of this
we may quo the authority of the London
Socie of Arts report upon The Paris EXPOSE
ZION, which contains the following opiuion
ny an English carpenter expert upon French
jOinery:
t'Carpantery is gradually falling into dis
use in Paris, in consequence of the substitu.
ton of iron for wood, ard such specimens
OF work by French jpiners as we saw were
mostly of a very rude kind. Their partitions
were made of rough and crooked scan;ling.
which any English surveyor would have
condemned; their joists were placed at
irregular intervals, aud as if laid az random
by laborers, instead of being fixed by
mechanics; their floors were tongued
together and made of boards of any
length, so that often the board was Joined
half way between the j0isIs, with no more
security than that given by a narrow
wooden tongue and a support underneath;
there was a parenily no knowledge how 10
wedge up piece OF framework; and in con-
sequence of certain techrical mistakes in
workmanship the doors in Paris almost lnva-
riabiy drop on the outside edge"
In regard to French plumbing it is even
worse than the carpentry. Though the Paris
sewers are world renowned for their extent
and completeness, yet tke domestic water
supply is not abundant nor the sanitary con-
veniences a. all dtquate.

A gentleman of experience who has lately
returned from abroad makes some cOmpari-
sons between the house fttings in England
and Scotland and those in this country
which are greatly to the advantage of the
latter Being of foreign BIRTH though a
resident of New York. his views may there
fore be considered impartial. He remarks
that while in respect to exterior appearance
the fine dwelling houses abroad are superior
to those in the United States, they
can not compare with ours in respect
to interior arrangements and COM
fort. Many conveniences which are in uni
versal use here, as speaking tubes, bells,
dumb walters, burglar alarms. stationary
tubs, closets, basins, anunciators, etc, are
rarIties or at least exceptional, in ordinary
private houses in Great Britain. In respect
to plumbing work in particular we are far
ahead of our British cousins, especially in
respect TO the finish and execution of the
work. Just as in Enalish railway trains a
water closet is an unheard of convenience,
50 also many things which We deem essen
tial to health and comfort are absent from
English residences The interior wood
work of the latter class of houses Is also
inferior to what may be seen here.
Yet English joiners have a very ex-
allied opinion of their ON n attainments- We
can recall an occasion when an English
steamer was stove in on her voyage to this
port, but her captain refused to have her
repaired In New York on the ground that

BosTON, Jan. 1.-THE truth of the follow
ing horrible story Is no secret in Boston, but
it has not yet found its way into print: List
Saturday the members of the Athenian club
had their annual dinner. This organization
is composed of artists, newspaper men, and
musicians, including. | am sorry to say, a
few frivolous and irresponsible Bbhemians,
who do not hesitate to scott openly at per-
sops and things which Boston culture holds
sacred. When the club WAS in that calmly
judicial frame of mind which follows a good
dinner, one of the few frivolous members
arose and drew from his pocket two news
paper slips. He was obliged to ask the
clubs assistance, he said, in matter that
haC given him grave perplexity. He held
in his hand extracts from two philosophical
dfscOaTses, which he would proceed TO read
The club gave its attention to the reading
and then the young man explained his
dilemma. O0e of the two extracts, he said
was a passage from a lecture of the Rev
Joseph Cook. He had occasion to use it in a
professional wav, but had unfortunately
placed it alongside another clipping con.
tanning the utterances of another philoso-
pher. and there was no way of identifying
the Cook extract except by internal evidence
of authorship. He appealed to the club TO
help him out of this difficulty.
The gentlemen present were greatly puz-
zled. The editor of morning newspaper
confessed himself unable 10 say which was
Mr.. Cooks philosophy and which was the
other mans. Nor could any body else.
They read very much alike" suggested a
we'll known literary ciilic. "Are you sure
they are not both 10 Co0k's?'

louS young man The first extract which
preserved was from a lecture by Mr.. Daniel
Pratt, commonly known rs the Great Amer

tory, or the Zenith of Four O'clock Civiliza-
