The Photograph at Paris.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Post
says: Next to the great Worlds Fair,
think Edison's photograph is probably
coming in for the largest share of atten-
ton. 1t seems to have profoundly i'm
pressed the Parisians. Itseems they did
not believe it until they saw the instru-
ment and witnessed its working. OF
course they had heard about it, but,
strange as it may seem, the larger part
of the French people had looked upon
it as a sort of Yankee joke. 1t is stated
that when Mr.. Puskap, who is exhibit
ing the instrument, went before the
Academy with it, the Swans actually re-
fused at first to credit it, and sent the
operator out of the room to investigate
it by themselves, thinking that he was
reproducing the reply from the instru-
ment by the aid of ventriloquism. When
they found there was no trick about it,
they were wild wi excitement over the
marvellous invention, and sent the thanks
of the whole body to the inventor. The
monograph is on exhibition at la
Sale. des Capucines," building near
the Boulevard des Capucines, and crowds
are seen vending their way to it daily.

crowd was too great to get near the in

which St Ferdinap vainly endeavored
to convert into cathedral. 1t is the
most stupendous and perfect specimen

supremacy. This sanctuary was com
menced A. ID. 1855 and completed in 796,
but large additions were made by subse-
quent caliphs. The design was in
tended to be an imitation of the great
Mosque of Damascus, and its rank was
that of second Kaaba. The ara
besques and other features of the interior
decoration were wholly destroyed by the
sainted kings whitewash brush, and the
addition of the high altar and choir in
the center, as we'll as many chapes in
the lateral aisles, have considerably di.
minished the former imposing effect.
The exterior of the mosque measures
six hundred and forty-two feet long aud
four hundred and sixty-two feet wide.
The walls yet show their Moorish origin,
and are from thirty to sixty feet in
height and about six feet in thickness.
Many towers were built in the walls to
strengthen them and relieve the monot.
ony. There were formerly sixteen
entrances, with horseshoe arches highly
decorated, but now all are walled up
excepting one. This great portal has
been somewhat changed in character by
Gothic additions, but still much
grandeur remains. 1t faces on a garden

prominent feature. The belfry is of
Christian origin, and not harmonious

sents forest of one thousand columns.
which form nineteen naves one way and
twenty-nine the other Above these are
innumerable double horseshoe arches,
one being placed directly over the
other-a plan which produces most
original and unusual effect. The base
less pillars have variety of composite
and Oriental capitals, while the shafts
are of every hue of marble, Jasper,
porphyry and granite. They are all
monoliths, and many were presents from
various sovereigns contemporary with
the construction of the mosque. The
Mihrab, or Moorish sanctuary, is a
heptagon constructed almost entirely of
marble, as well as its shell shaped roof.
Its mosaics are superb, many being gifts
either in a completed state or through
the loan of artisans from Stamboul
The Christian decorations and altera-
tions are without merit, and would b.
of no interest to detail. Occasionally
a mass may be heard in progress in one
of the forty-fve chapels, possibly one
in some remote corner, but with only
dozen or more auditors. Cespedes,
noted Spanish painter, is buried in
front of the chapel of st. Paul, but no
other parsonage is entombed in all the
great expanse.

DE4 TBS BY DROH MING.

A London paper calls attention TO the
fact that larger number of fatalities
occur in the United Kingdom from
drowning than from any other cause.
More people lose their lives while bath
ing than while working in coal mines.
Blasting with nitro-glycerine is regarded
as very dangerous occupation, but it
appears that fewer persons lose their
lives while handling this terrible ex-
plosive than while handling beats de-
signed for pleasure. With great regu-
larity Oxford and Cambridge lose three
or four students every summer vacation
by drowning. A week rarely passes at
any of the seasides resorts in which
some visitor is not drowned while bath
ing. Most of the picturesque lakes
which are supplied with pleasure boats
are little more than attractive death
traps. From every pier in the large
rivers and from almost every bridge
some one falls into tho water and is lost
There are few statistics kept in this
country except those that pertain to GER
tain branches of trade and commerce.
We can tell at the end of year how
many thousand hogs were slaughtered,
but not how persons were drowned
There is scarcely an issue of newspaper
that does not record one or more
deaths by drowning each day during the
summer months Few of the persons
who sink into watery graves are engaged
in any industry. They are not fishing
for profit but for pleasure. They are
not navigating boats for the purpose of
carrying passengers and goods, but for
the purpose of having a good time
Nearly every man or boy in the country
thinks he is capable of discharging the
duties of any Office or of managing a
boat. A large portion of the small boats
constructed are unsafe, especially when
they are in the hands of persons who
are not experts. Nearly all the small
sail boats should be condemned as dan
gerous. Even the little craft propelled
by oars or paddles are liable to capsize
on small provocation.
Considering how many persons plunge
into the water or manage boats upon it,
it is astonishing how little attention is
given to instruction in the art of swim
ming and that of minor navigation. We
are very far behind the Indians and
other savages in this respect. Untaught
in books, they all know how to swim
like ducks and to manage the frailest of
boats with almost absolute safety. We
should abandon our aquatic habits or
learn wisdom from the despised abo-
rhymes, who know how to keep from be-
ing drowned. Mrs. Darlington advised
her son Ike never to 60 near the water
till he had learned to swim. Boys-and
men for that matter-should not venture
in water till they have some instruction
in regard to keeping their bodies afoat.
instruction is as neces airy in the use OF
boat as in that of horse or steam
engine. The absolute recklessness that
is now displayed in and upon the water
is astonishing. The authorities in many
places have recently adopted measures
to prevent loss of life by fire. Why
not also adopte measures to prevent
loss of life by water?

The Origin Of the English National
Debt.

From the moment that the public at
large began to pay the taxes, and not the
land, the extravaganza of Government
expenditures grew amazingly, and .
National debt was commenced. When
the people paid. and the aristocracy and
their sons and k'nsfolk eceived through
Government offices in the army or navy,
from that moment the history Of our
boundless profusion commences. Before
the transfer of taxation from the lands
to custom, excise, and other popular
burdens, it must be borne in mind that
there was no debt. So long as the land
had to pay the taxes the aristocracy
were not willing to incur National debt;
the moment they made this transfer, and
could, living on their exempted lands,
revel in the sweets of taxation, debt
was commenced. Charles, we shall find,
borrowed f900, 600 of the merchants Of
London, and soon informed them that
he never could repay it; it must remain
debt on the Nat;en. the interest alone
being obtainable. The debt fiTst com
menced has now grown, as the direct
consequence of this grand fiscal reyolu-
ton, to upward of E800, 900 90.
Macaulay has we'll said that this was net
the first age Of borrowing, but the first
|.of funding.
