Cheerful -- An Exponent of the
 United states Army.
 The Paris correspondent to the San ! Francisco Bulletin, writing under date
 of May 10, in speaking of the section
 des Etats Unis, says:
 Commissioner Mccormick is hurry
 ing hither and thither, on his face an expression of care and perpiexiiy. The
 section is 2 chaos of unpacked boxes
 and halffilled showcases. An impos ing marine paces up and down before
 the Commissioners office 4 marine
 attempts to pace a regular beat in an-
 other portion of ihe section, but only
 struggles and wanders among the
 boxes. Some one is practicing on a parlor organ, and an ecclesiastical air struggles desperately with the sounds
 of saws, hammers and hatchets. 4 stcve exhibitor is down on all fours
 with his head poked into the oven of one of his biggest ranges, endeavoring
 to regulate some portion of its hidden economy. The hardware merchant isl
 running after his French workmen
 who will persist in rolling boxes in
 the wrong direction. A desperatel
 struggle between the French and
 American tongue now ensues. America
 wins. Boxes rolled back A IargeI stand belonging to a prominent New
 York jeweler is entirely draped with black cloth. \ murmur of voices is
 heard within, and single gray head occasionally pops cut of the folds of the curtains Here are fustered, dusty men in shirtsleeves, looking some for hammers, some for screwdrivers, and 1 one bcwails the loss of broom, which
 has been waylaid and captured byE some nfighboring exhibitor. They are taking out and arranging the pill ex- hibits in glass cases. Three unmis- takable Americans sit upon and danglei their legs over huge case of merchan disc They waited long in the land for their merchandise to arrive; 1t was de layed in New York; il s'arted in the leaky Wyoming; it put back; it started once more; iL made long passage; it was delayed at Havre; it rolled finally to Paris; it is now somewhere in a car on the outer edge of the Exposition Grounds; it is almost within their grasp; yet it is not on hand These men have fretted and cursed and sworn i; they have reyiled their own Govern ment for its tardiness in making the appropriation; they have in spirit plucked tue boards of the twenty and odd paid Commissioners and the one hundred unpaid Honorary Commis- sioners. So long they have endured that all the Offervescence of their trib- ulation, their bile, their vexation, has worked of. Now they care not-not a they are desperately and cheerful; they have sat thus and dangled their free-born American legs over that box for days; they have waited for their hurry to be over. It is over.
 Enter 8 French family to section des Etats Unis. \ father, mother and two grown daughters, who gather careful ly their skirts about them and tread even fearfully, among the shattered boxes and prOtruding ten penny nails They cast one glance upon the great case filled with artifi- cial teeth in artificial, yawning and scattered grinnIng jaws. They turn away and are confronted by thousands of pills in glass cases. They travel in another direction aud behold the den- tisl's chair and post mortem dissect ing table, warranted to wheel 8 corpse around, or raise or lower il, according , to the requirements of tall or short surgeon, better than any other dead mans table in the world. Mon Dieu. The French family get out. They are gone; only left bushels of red artificial jaws, bushels of pills, that awful table . and cans of patent axle grease.
 Now, Q spruce young United States army officer marches briskly among -he bales, boxes and barrels. He is a [ thing of sabre, stripes and gilt epau- lets. The marines on duty, struggling { around among the merchandise and [ ever in the way of dusty exhibitors iui shirt sleeves, salute him as he passes. T He commands the guard over the ex- , libits.
