In the Egyptian pavilion marvellous
specimen of the old folks at home can
be viewed. 1t is model of a dwelling
house in the time of Abraham; it is said
to be so real, that were Isaac to ever
visit the Promised Land of the Troca-
dero, and provided with franc ticket,
he might enter the house in question
and find it Just as if he had only left it.
Marietta Bey, the celebrated arch@olo-

and pictures are catalogued as carefully
as Durham oxen and Dishley rams so
with Marietta Bey, he has the pedigree

the land of Pharaohs, and he concludes
the Egyptian architecture was in its de-
cline i'm the time of Father Abraham. In

sketches of the agriculture, trade, COM

widow, the sister of Mrs. Benjamin Willis,

form, feature and coloring. Both have
plump, compact, well shaped figures

cate sea-shell tints evidently owe their
exquisite coloring only to youth and good
health. With the skins of blondes the sis
tiers have nut-brown hair and large, wide
open, innocent-looking gray eyes, fringed
with long, dark lashes. The shape and
poise Of the heads of these ladies add much
to their beauty, and they invariably arrange
their hair in such style as to show the form
of the head. So says Miss Grundy, in her
Washington letter to the Graphic.

The Ocean Floor.

Here is an end of all romance about
hidden ocean depths. We can specu-
late no longer about peris in chambers
of pearl, or mermaids, or heaped treas
ures and dead mems bones whitening in
coral caves. The whole ocean floor is
now mapped out for us. The report OF
the exploring expedition sent out from
London in Her Majesty's Ship Chal-
lenger has recently been published.
Nearly four years were given to the ex-
animation of the currents and floors OF
the four great oceans of the world The
Atlantic, we are told, if drained, would
be vast plain, with. q mountain, ridge
in the middle running parallel with our
coast. Another range crosses it from
Newfoundland to Ireland, on the top OF
which lies a submarine cable. The
ocean is thus divided into three great
basins, no longer s'unfathomed depths"
The tops of these mountains are two
miles below sailing ship, and the
basins, according to Reclus, fifteen
miles, which is deep enough for drown
ing, if not for mystery. The mountains
are whitened for thousands of miles by
a tiny, creamy she'll. The depths are
red in color, heaped with volcanic mass
es. Through the black, motionless water
of these abysses move gigantic abnor-
NAL creatures, which never rise to the
upper currents.
There is an old legend coming down
to us from the first ages of the world on
which these scientific deep-sea soundings
throw curious light. Plato and Scion
recorded the tradition, ancient in their
days, of a country in the western seas
where fiourished the first civilization of
mankind, which by volcanic action was
submerged and lost. The same story
is told by the Central Americans, who
still celebrate in the fast of 1zcalli the
frightful catachlysm which destroyed
this land with its stately cities. DE
Bourbourg and other arch@ologists as
sert that this lost land extended from
Mexico beyond the West Indies. The
shape of the plateau discovered by he
Challsnger corresponds with this theo-
nv. What if some keen Yankee should
yet dredge out from its unfathomed
slime the lost Atlantis p Youths COM

Illinois Republican Platform.

The delegates and representatives OF the
Republican party of the State of Illinois in
convention assembled do hereby declare: .
and patriotism of the Republican party,
State and national, and in its permanent NJ
ness and ability over all other parties TO au;
minister the government OF both state anu
nation wisely and successfully.
2. That the Democratic party, being largely
composed of recent rebels and their syinpa-
thizers can not be safely intrusted with the
administration of the affairs OF Governmenoi
that the partial success OF that party ID CO ,,,
shows its grossly partisan character anu gen
eral incapacity, and lack of honor ana patfi-
ot1Sm. A.,
8. For the financial system created by the
Republican party during the war, ana III
spite of the violent opposition OF the Demo
cratic party, we express our unqualified ad-
miration. By its provisions the people nave
been supplied with a larger amount OF paper
currency, safer and more uniform IN Vaiue,
than they have ever before enjoyed; tne
credit of the nation has steadily lmpr3vte,a .
while both the principal and interest OF tlle
public debt, as well as the burdens of nation
al taxation, have been steadily diminished
Such results can only be produced by non
esty, economy and wisdom in the manage
ment of financial affairs.
4. We are also opposed to any further con-
traction of the greenback currency, ana are
in favor of such currency as can be man
tanned at par with, and convertible into. coin
such u enc currency nc being RED We'd for import du-
ties, and we deprecate the defeat of the re-
cent bill for that purpose by the Democratic
House OF Representatives.
5. The permanent pacification of the South
ern section of the Union, and the complete
protection of ali its citizens in all their civil,
political, personal and property rights, Is
duty to which the party stands sacreuly
pledged. In order to redeem this pledge ie
placed the recent amendments in the Consul
tuition of the United States, and upon the
righteous basis of said amendments 1t Will
go forward in the work of pacitication until
peace shall come through right dong anu
contentment through justice.

banks, by providing for the punishment OF
dishonest bank managers.

govern it, instead OF those who attempted to

Some Queer Facts.
SPIDERS EYES.

SPIDERS EYES.
The mole you study into things, the
more wonders you will find, even in
things so small as the eye of q spider.
Eight is the usual number spider has,
and in each branch of the family they
are differently arranged to suit their
ways of life. Those which live in caves,
or dark holes, and need to see only be-
fore them, have all the eyes in a group
on the front of the head. Spiders which
live in web have the eyes raised, so
that they can see all about them, and
those of the family which travel about
and hunt their prey, have them more
scattered. They are very beautiful, too,
1ooking-under a microscope-like
round, polished diamonds.
BIG CUCUMBERs.
Persia would be nice place TO live
in-for some things. I'm almost afraid
to tell you the size which the familiar
cucumber attains in that country, for
fear you will think I'm dreaming
But well known traveller says they
grow to be six feet long and two and
a half feet around, or about ten
inches in diameter! What a ridiculous
little vegetable that makes our six-inch
long one appear. Fancy one slice of a
cool, fresh cucumber the size of q din
ing -plateP The bread of that country
would also appear very strange to us.
1t is quite thin, and three feet long by
eighteen inches wide, or as big as a
door-rfat.
PEKFUMED CHURCH.
The wonderful and beautiful building
known as the Mosque of St. Sophia, In
Constantinople, is always fragrant with
the odor of musk, has been so for hum
dreds of years (ever since it was re-
built), and nothing has since been done
to keep it perfumed. How do you sup
pose this wonder has been performed
In the year 538-more than a thousand
years ago-the mortar with which it is
built was charged with musk, and there
it is to this day!
HEADS STRUNG BIZ A FISH.
What would you think if man OF
science should tell you of fish living in
the gulf weed-which floats in the ocean
who actually makes a ball Of tibers of
the weed, about as big as croquet ball,
fills it with fine threads stretching
through it in every direction, and every
thread strung with, beads as big as a
pins head? Prof. Agassiz found such
piece of work made by a fish, and,
oorafuJ1v kaeninO IF tho heads SOON
Matched into tiny atoms of fishlets. So
it proved to be, after all, just nice
floating cradle for the babies, which are
always plenty in fish families, you know,
and couldn't be kept in order unless
they had whole army of nurses, or
were strung like beads on string. To
make these nests, the fish have fins that
are much like rude fingers.-New Jeru-
salem Messenger.

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

REPRESENTATIVE ACKLIN, of Lousi-

fair IN Washington, growing out of his ap-
parently too Jealous attentions to a New
York lady, sister of Congressman from
that State. The episode occurred in a fash
jonable restaurant. Gen. Rosser, a well
known ex-Confederate officer, was dining
with some friends in an apartment ad-
iacent to that occupied by the Louis
lana Congressman and his fair friend.
Some unusual ordinations on the part of
the lady caused the chivalrous Rosser to fly
to her rescue. Tableau. Mr.. Acklin's
friends protest that there was not the slight
est cause for Gen. Rosser's alleged imperti-
nent interference, as the lady will bear wit
ness, and the insult to Mr.. Acklin is one that
can only be expunged upon the field of
honor.
