thick sheet of red-hot iron. See, on the
middle of that red hot floor stands a girl.
She looks about sixteen years of age. She
has neither shoes nor stockings on her
feet. The door of this room has never
been opened since she first set her foot
on this red-hot floor. Now she sees
the door opening. She rushes forward.
She has gone down upon her knees
upon the red~hot floor. Listen, she
speaks! She says: Il have been
standing with my bare feet on
this red-hot food for years. Day and
night my standing place has been this red
hot foor. Sleep never came on me for q
moment that might forget this horrible
burning floor. Look at my burnt and
bleeding feet. Let me 60 off this burning
floor for one moment -only for a short
moment. Oh! that in this endless eter-
nifty of years I might forget the pain
only for one single moment" The devil
answers her question. " Do you ask for a
moment--not for one single moment dur
ing the never-endiDg eternity of years
shall you ever leave this red-hot floor"

Doing Paris Cheaply.

One may, at ordinary times, live in
Paris very comfortably on eight or ten
dollars per week; and this will include
car-tares and admission to the theatres,
great and small. Possibly, during the
exposition, prices may rule little
higher In the Latin quarter an apart
ment need not cost more than dollar
and half or two dollars per week. Two
good small rooms there will rent at thirty
francs (about six dollars) per month.
Breakfast, coffee ands all the bread you
can eat, four cents; lunch at noon, or the
real breakfast in Paris, one and two
thirds franc, or twenty-five cents-this
includes the half.bottle of claret; the same
rate for dinner, at five orsix in the evening.
Fifty or sixty cents per day will feed
you we'll. II you choose to eat in your
room, you may, in buying cooked food
(and every variety of food is cooked and
held for sale by the cut in Paris), live
for thirty cents per day on roast fowl,
various kinds of salad, fresh fish and
potatoes, baked apples and pears, potage
or bullion. It is not bad for a change
and far better than any cheap food you
can get in New York. To familiarize
yourself with French quickly, buy your
own groceries, Prices of such
staples as -four, sugar, coffee,
ETC., are more extensively marked
than with us, and every shop window
is practical edition of Ollendorf, only
there are no quarts, gallons, pints or
pounds, feet or yards. These are all
changed to liters "a little over quartz,
meters (three inches over the English
yard and kilogrammes or ''kilos" 1.-TWO
pounds three ounces avoirdupois). The
smallest French coin is the copper five
centimes, corresponding to our cent. The
smallest silver coin is the fifty centimes,
corresponding to the American dime.
The franc is twenty cents American. The
average seat In the uppeTmost gallery
Of the French theatre is rallied,
cushioned, and as comfortable as the
more expensive one below, and costs
but shilling. You will recollect that
the museum and galleries of the Louvre
are always free; also the Jardin des
Plantes Of geological gardens also the
museum of the Luxembourg palace
also the Hotel Cluny on certain DAYS,
which is a palace showing the style of
household royal furniture common five
hundred years ago; also the palace at
Versailles. These alone will interest you
far more. than the exposition, for they
contain the accumulation and historic
associations Of centuries.-[ New York

Chinese Money.

Coined money was known among the
Chinese as early as the eleventh century
before Christ. but their inability to COM
prehend the principles upon which a
currency should be based, led them
into all sorts of extravagances, which
have been attended by disorder, famine,
and bloodshed. Coins came at last to
be made so thin that 1000 of them piled
together were only three inches high !;
then gold and silver were abandoned !;
and copper, tin, shells, skins, stones,
and paper were given fixed value, and
used until, by abuses, all the advantages
to be derived from the use of money
were lost, and there was nothing left for
the people to do but to 60 back to bar
ter, and this they did more than once.
They cannot be said now to have a coin
age; two thousand nine hundred years
ago they made round coins with
square hole in the middle, and they have
made no advance beyond that since.
The well known cash is cast-brass coin
of that description, and, although it is
valued at one mill and half of our
money, and has to be strung in lots of
one thousand to be computed with any
ease, it is the sole measure of value and
legal tender of the country. Spanish,
Mexican, and our new trade dollars are
employed in China; they pass because
they are necessary for larger operations.

Sedentary Habits.

In Nutrition in Health and Disease :"
DIR. Bennett says: These physiological
effects explain the prostrat;on of an in
valid, or, indeed OF any one unaccus-
toned to exercise, after great muscular
effort. They feel languid and exhausted,
have pains in the muscles and cannot
sleep. They have used up, wasted part
of their muscular structures, and there
is not sufficient organic activity in the
economy to rapidly renew the destroyed
fibre; so the feeling of fatigue and pros
tration lasts. This, however, is not a
reason for renouncing exercise az an im-
possibility, as not agreeing with the con-
stitution. A small amount only should
be taken regularly st first, persevered in
whether agreeable or not, and gradually
increased as the muscular power increa>
ses: which it is sure to do. Active
people, even In doors, take a deal of ex-
ercise. They are ever On the move, rum
ming upstairs and down, fetching all they
want, and waiting both on themselves
and others; and that even when surroun-
ded with domestics, Such persons find
that they have walked several miles in
the course Of the day, without even
leaving the house. This is the history of
female servants, who often never 70
out of doors from weeks end to
weeks end, and yet usually retain good
health. Sedentary people, on the con.
trary, persons of indolent habits, who
never move from the chair or sofa, if
they can help it, and who ring the bell
for all they want, reach the end of the
day with scarce mile of exercise. Not
only, therefore, do they eschew exercise
out of doors, but they do not even take
it indoors. Is it surprising that they
should be obese and unwieIdly, and
prey to the diseases Of torpid, sluggish
vitality?

Foreign Intelligence.

The tsetse, known to entomologists al
glossina morsitans, is thus described by
Stanley: "Not much larger than 8
common house fly, nearly of the same
brown color as the honey bee. After.
part of the body has yellow bars across it
1t has peculiar buzz, and its bite is
death to the horse, OK Or dog, On man
the bite has no effect ; neither has it on
wild animals.
The famine in China was the oppor-
tunity of the English and American
missionaries. They devoted themselves
to relieving the dying people about them,
and helping the suffering as far as the
means at hand would allow. This
effected change in the opinion of the
Chinese as to the religion of the mission
aries. They now concede that a religion
which sends its devotees on missions of
mercy is at least a good religion, if not a
better one than their own.
The assistant adjutant general, depart
nent of Texas, has received dispatch
from Fort Brown, which says: "Mr.
EyeesmaD, large merchant in Mata>
moras, tells me chat the authorities
have fined foreign merchants about $50,
600. His house was to pay $22, 900. He
and many others are preparing to leave
Mexico as soon AZ they can close their
business. Gen. Canales is opposed to the
fine, and a revolution is confidently ex.
pected, with Garcia de Cardenas AZ the
head. He is governor Of Zacatecas.
Brazil has made a liberal appropriation
for the introduction to the peonle az
Europe OF sterva- mate, an article largely
cultivated in Parana and used in senth
America TO produce popular beverage
but as yet unknown abroad. Mr.. O,Conor
Of the British legation, says it will be !
capital substitute for the far more expen.
sive and too.often adulterated tea and
coffee, being more fortifying and alimen.
tary and much more wholesome, and an
article that can be sold at price 40
moderate as to place it within the reach
of all classes.

EDISON'S WONDERFUL IN.
VENTION.
An improvement on the Telep phone Successfully
Tested 1.-The Ariphone or Speaking Fog
Horn and its Mission,

An improvement on the Teep phone ucce5sfuII}
Tested-.-The Anphone or Speaking Fog
Horn and its Mission.
The prolific brain of Professor Edison
has given to the world two new discover
les One of these is an improvement on
the carbon telephone. In the two pre-
vlous inventions the diaphragm was
suspended from the carbon desk by a
section of rubber tubing. He has dis
covered that by bringing the diaphragm
into Immediate contact with the disk, a
considerable increase in the force of
articulation is increased, and that the
thickness of the diaphragm could be
increased at least three times without
affecting it. By this method vibration
gives place to pressure. Experiments
were made with this improvement
between the Offices of the Philadelphia
local telegraph and residence of Professor
Edison, at Menla Park, New Jersey, a
distance of sixty-6ve miles, The remarks
made through the instrument at this end
were even more distinctly heard at the
other end. An experiment was made of
sending marks to Menlo, via New York,
a distance of one hundred and thirty
FIVE miles, which was equally success
full.
The second invention is the airophone.
1t il al instrument into which words can
be articulated and they gather such force
as to be heard for number of miles with
great distinctness. Indeed, it is in reality
talking fog horn, By its aid captains at
vessels meeting at sea could converse
easily while three or four miles apart :;
signal station officers could warn vessels
coming on dangerous coast to keep of,
and it is adapted to all uses to which
such instruments as fog horns, etc., are
now applied. This is a most remarkable
discovery. Mr.. Adams, Edison's agent,
will leave New York ON Saturday next
for London. A Company of English
merchants have offered Mr.. Edison
60,000if if the invention can successfully
be applied to the local telegraph wires
in London N. Y. Times.

The Outcome of 1T.

Hard times always have soft side to
them. The fool of King Charles cried
when he went down hill, but laughed
when he went up. Being asked why, he
said: IF am going up hill now shall
be able to go down next, but if I am
going down now, shall soon have to
climb" The country has some things
to groan over; traffic is thoroughly at q
loss in its circulation manufactures are
bankrupt; and yet we never had more
bountiful harvest than in 1877. The land
teemed with every variety of pro-
duct. There was enough and to spare
for every citizen of the union. The
difficulty evidently had risen from the
fact that too small proportion of our
population has been in the direct line of
production. The plentiful or SUPER
abundant provision of nature fell
lavishly into the hands of q smaller num-
Der than it was intended for. That we
have land enough to provide comfort
and competence for every one who will
work is .self.evident. The lazy will be
badly off under all circumstances, and
neither nature nor neighbor can make
them permanently contented or happy.
This the pressure of the times Is at last
driving the people to recognize. Men
can live, and live we'll, on the land, if
they are willing to work and use econ>
omy. The demand for farms, either to
buy or to rent, is vastly on the increase.
While rents drop continually in the
cities, and town lots are unstable at any
price, farms do not anywhere beg for
occupants and workers. This is not
notably true in the east, where the ten
dency has been for years to press toward
the cities. Young men are less ambitious
of rapid wealth, simply because they have
become satisfied that the avenues are
closed. They must learn to he patient.
laborious and saving. It costs less not
only cashwise, hbut demands less ezhaus-
ton of vital force to live in the country.
This ebhing of the human tide carries !

Fighting a Whale.

A correspondent of the Raleigh Oh
server, writing from Meorehead City,
coast of North Carolina, says: Last
week there was the most exciting and
dangerous whale fight that has ever oc-
Cured on this coast. It was with some
difficulty that the captain of the crew
could get his men to obey orders. When
the first bomb was fred into the whale it
tailed te explode. This made the whale
furious, when at this instant he struck
one of the boats and knocked it some feet
above the water The captain then
fred another bomb; this failed of explo"
sion the fight was still getting more
furious. The third bomb was fred and
exploded near the heart. This conquered
the monster. The blood spouted some
ten feet high, and az the crew rushed up
to stick their lances in him, the blood
fell in showers upon them and thelf
boats. The fight was witnessed by an
other crew stationed about seven miles
above them. They looked ON with oe-
light, only wishing they could get an'o
such bloody contest. The whale was
fortv-two feet long and extremely tat.
This fish will probably bring about $500

Mobile Register: All that ia wanted
to cemplete the Grand Trunk to Union
town is one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars from the people Of Mobile. This
money will be paid back in one year by
the handling of forty thousand bales of
cotton that will come from Marengo,
Clarke and Perry, and the forty thousand
bales of cotton will enable our merchants
TO send back to those counties over two
millions worth in return. But even if
this were not SO, the history of Richmond
and other Atlantic cities teaches us the
enormous possibilities of Mobile as coal
ing depot. We have now more water than
Richmond, and we can improve our bay
at less cost than the James can be Deep
ened at. If Richmond sees over three
hundred vessels at the Rockets, within
three years after the railroad has tapped
tie mineral regions, there is a certainty
that Mobile will see five hundred vessels
at her wharves SO soon as the Grand
Trunk road reaches Birmingham.
Memphis Avalanche: The causes
which have made the colored people
think Of removing from the cotton belt
to the grain region are worth finding
out. They have been induced to remove
from the uplsnds and the older southern
states to West Tennessee, to Missis-
sippi bottoms and to river lands in
Arkansas, because there more cotton
could be raised and better wages &C.
cured. Rut now they seem to desire to
60 farther west, and to 60 beyond the
cotton belt. Their emigration tenden-
cies have not been very strong, out re-
Gently they have been excited by the
liberia movement, and they are in a
mood, as race, to change in hopes of
bettering their condition. This is an
evidence of improvement in their mental
condition, and evinces spirit of enter
prise. The Liberia movement will not
he success, but we are inclined to the
opinion that the movement to the states
west of the Mississippi river will be as
formidable as that of the whites which
sweeps annually across the Mississippi
river at Memphis.
