PARIS, August 23d,

PARIS, August 23d, 1873.
Another Champ de Mars is required to
afford space for the ceremony of the dis
tribution of prizes; $4,000 winners alone
have the right to be accommodated, and
an equal number of sight seers, official,
&C., to witness as many monarchs-not
retired from business-as Candide encoun-
tered at his famous Venetian supper party,
or that Napoleon had packed in the pit of
Saxon theatre. 1t is too late to build a
gigantic shanty, so that the Palace of In
dustry, or the to-be- canvas covered race
course at Longchamps, may be selected.
The coming fete promises to oul.Herod
lIerod in brilliancy; no discordant note
will likely be heard, as almost all the ex-
hibitors have secured shred of blue rib
bon. The lottery scheme appears to be
enjoying the sleep of the just likely the
commissioners, on reflection, object to
games of chance for raising the wind,
especially when France is able to pay for
the glory, and more so when cosmopolitan
visitors arrive again at the rate of 10O,-
900 day.
The industrial and agricultural portions
of the French display fill the mind with a
sense of the inexhauslible fertility of her
soil, the unsurpassed fancy and skill of her
workmen, and the power of the lively and
indomitable race by which she is peopled
to evincc all the energy and enterprise
which We are accustomed to consider pc
culiarly the qualities of Englshmep No
wise man feels jealousy at the manifesto
tions of the ability of our sister republic.
The most important event in the com
mercial history of the world, the discovery
of America, which brought ruin upon the
other peoples prosperous in ancient times,
passed over France alone without injuring
her. With one coast upon the Atlantic
and another upon the Mediterran can,
France is almost uaassailable by such rev.
olutions. Marsoilles had been "a grent port

Verueont greenbackers are just as honest
rs any other Vermonters; but do not be-
leve there ever was time when YER
monters were in the habit Of losing any
sleep over the question whether the rich
men of the country wouldn't get all that
was Justly coming to them. The danger
is that they are. and have been. getting
great deal more. We do not propose to
put L" the rights of property above the
rights of men," We do propose to pay
them all we owe them according as it is
nominated in the bond, and hereafter we
propose that n little more care shall be
taken in making bargains with them, and
in preventing them from controlling legls-
laton.

me to expect to have done so in all
respects in so brief space), let us hear

The St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press says

The St. Paul (Minn) Pioneer Press says
that Postmaster General Key is making u
good impression wherever he goes, and
really appears to be one of the most popu-
lar members of the cabinet, notwithstand-
ing his confederate and democratic ante
cedents, and it is said he is most agreeably
surprised at the lberaliLy of sentiment at
the north.
The recent resumption OF work on the
Washington monument brings to mind the
disposition of n stone that was designed
for place in the structure. The Ameri-
can minitser told Pope Plus TX. that it was
proposed to insert monoliths from the
various states and nations, and the pope
sent one to America. 1t reached Wash.
ington in 1854, when the know nothing
excitement was at its height, and tn,
young men of Washington resolved that
the Romish contribution should not make
IL part eff the monument. They therefore
gathered together at night, Clipped off +
few pieces of the stone for relics, took it L
the middle of the Potomac and dropped i
in.
THE FAILURE OF TIE MONETARY Con
FERENCE. THE representatives of the
United States at the International moneta
ry conference in Paris, found themselves
not simply in n minority, but absolutely
alone, in their advocacy of a double stand
ard. 1t was expected that the representa-
tives of the stronger powers would Oppose

! establishment of double standard, bu
other countries were looked to quite con
fidently to give their cooperation ant
assent. This they have not done. Th,
American propositions return without in.
| dorsement in any quarter. Our represen
tatives even experienced some difficulty il
getting an opportunity to state their case
Judge Keogh, of Dublin, entertained
the idea that his servant and his registrar
had entered into a conspiracy to shut him
up in lunatic asylum. At the dead o
night he went into the servants room
armed with a razor and cut him in the neck
and also severely in the stomach. He then
left him and proceeded to his registrar
room. The registrar hearing the noise
started up and Selling a large pillow he
closed with his assailant and shouted fol
help. The people in the hotel were alarm
ed and finally the judge was disarmed and
shut up in Il strong room of the convent
as there was no asylum in the place
Since his confinement the Judge has at.
tempted to destroy himself He will be
placed in an asylum.

A belated and rather poverty stricken
foot traveller, whose railway ticket was
good on all country roads and cattle paths,
stopped at Il small m 'nsion of apparently
four rooms and kitchen at Burlington,
Iowa. the other evening, says the Hunk
eye, to beg a nights lodging. As he stood
timidly knocking at the half opened door,
he heard the shrill commanding tones of
the lady of the house disposing the garr-
son for the night: Tommy. 90 hunt up
Charley and Ben, and tell them to 90 to
the grocery and tell your father to bring
Ella and Willie right home. it is their bed

and ask her if she won't take care of baby

DISCOVERY IN PHOTOGRAPHY. The In
dianapols NewS says w. E. Schneider, an
observer in the weather bureau of this CITY
and an ingenious inventor, has made an
interesting experiment in photography.
He takes negative from positive by
gaslght and without the aid of camera.
A photograph of the ordinary size is damp
ened and the picture detached from its
mountings. This is then transferred to an
ordinary glass plate and chemicals applied
to make it perfectly transparent. A plate
of glass is made particularly sensitive by
the application of chemicals. The two
plates are then placed together, and with
an ordinary hand looking glass as a re-
Hector, and a jet of gas as light, the neg
alive is taken From this negative pictures
may be printed as easily us with the first
negative.

WAsuINGTON. Nov. 13. 1879.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1878.
There is now no reasonable doubt
that Mr.. Conkling will be returned
to the Senate of the United States
and the general tone of the press rel:
ative to it goes to show that even
those who are opposed to him po-
litically would be 10th to see his
light go out. 1t is bright light
and one which would be greatly
missed should it disappear from the
Senate Chamber. Then when pol
itican carries his State for his party
as emphaticaliy as Conkling carried
New York this Fall, no one pretends
to deny his ability as party leader.
Among Republicans, Senator Conk-
ling's name is mentioned as strong
one in connection with the next
Presidency, and should he become q
candidate, he would undoubtedly be
popular one.
AS for the Democratic party, it
cannot be extremely respondent,
had it good cause, with men like
Thurman as leaders. Many promi-
nent politicians believe Mr.. Thur
man TO be the coming man for 1880.
Whichever way that may turn out,
he is known drought the country as
strong man and true, one who con-
sijers we'll and seldom makes a po-
litical mistake. 1t is too early now,
however, to predict with any degree
of certainty concerning the next &C.

ment is we'll content to be there.
Mr.. Hayes apparently takes great
comfort in his Office. He ENJOYS
being President, and nothing his
friends or enemies can say for or
against him seems to disturb him in
the least. And the Mrs. Presi-
dent Office is as acceptably filled
also. Nobody could make the most
OF such a position or enjoy its priv.
ileges and advantages more than
Mrs. Hayes appears to, and i. is d
fact that she makes herself so charm.

STILL Go1NG THE ROUNDS. APP
pears that our little joke about a
suspension till Winter" has not
yet had it's run, and the Seattle Post
is the last victim. Hear what it says:
A JOKE TURNED.-On the last day of No
vember the Daily Experiment.. of Olympia,
announced that its publication would be
suspended until some time during the
Winter, meaning the next day, December
of the Experiment are printed in Portland.
The people in the Portland printing office
saw the announcement, and understood it
to mean an indefinite suspension of publ
cation, consequently they quit sending
began at Olympia. An extra force of
printers were en- gagged in the Experiment
office to print the outside pages until the
Portland Office could be notified of the
mistake, and begin sending ready printed
sheets as before. Gen. Murphy will he
more cautious in future about setting
traps where tho Portland Standard man
can find them.
The Post is the worst L" sold" of
the scores who have "bit." The
Experiment has a cord or two of
"patent outsides' stored away,
ready for use; but this being holiday
month, there was an increase of ad-
vertising patronage, and to prevent
incroachment upon the space usually
devoted to reading matter, we found
it necessary to extend the field of OPP
erations. The patronage of the pa
per is ordinarily SO limited that it
scarcely pays expenses of printing
two pages at home," but when it
exceeds certainfbounds, more space
is required, or the columns devoted
to reading-matter must be given up
to business. The alternative was to
print all four pages in our own
Office. This we have done to acc ON
modate our advertisers, and have fur
nished third more of local read
ing matter than usual at the same
time. We have employed no extra
printers, as the Post assumes, but
simply banished gum-chewing and
masquerade balls during business
hours. It is astonishing how much
more type" the boys" can set, when
they ore not pestered by such alb
sorbing pastimes.
