Mr.. Mccormick, Commissioner-Gsn-
eral from the United States to the Paris
Exposition, is engaged in dispatching
the diplomas and medals recently re-
ceived from Paris to the fortunate exhib-
itors. The latter are of gold, those of
silver and bronze not having yet arrived.
They are about two inches broad, weigh
three ounces, and are worth $50. On the
diverse side is the medallion of female,
the head of the republic of France, in
scribed "Republique Franchise" On
the reverse are the figure of fame, with
the legend, Exposition Universelle In
ternatiOnal de l979.n A youth beside
the figure holds a tablet, upon which is
engraved the name of the exhibitor.
There are l40 of these, and with each
goes a diploma. The latter are hello
types eighteen by twenty inches. The
upper sections contains an allegory of
Peace and Fame clasping the hand of an
artisan at the foot of a throne. The lower
portion is inscribed, Exposition Uni
Verselle de 1878. lie Jury Internationale
des Recompenses de cerne une Medille
Dor" with the name ofexhibitor, group,
etc. There are 225 silver medals, 200
bronze and about 200 certificates of merit,
which is the lowest prize given. Mr. II.
r.. Hit, secretary of the American Lega-
tion at Paris, says that the principal
officers of the French government are
very enthusiastic over the character and
conduct of the American department of
the Exposition.

Occasionally the newspapers contain
accounts of the exhumation of bodies
that give what is called unmistakable
evidence of having been buried alive.
Speaking of this matter, city paper op-
poses the belief which prevails in the
minds of many that persons are fire.
quently buried while the spark oflife has
not yet left the body. 1t says that
"while such things have happened,
add may still happen, they are of the
rarest occurrence. Winslow, the cele-
brated anatomist, is said to have had
two narrow escapes from burial alive,
and to have published in consequence,
a treatise on the signs of death. Bou-
chut, Michel Levy and other physicians
have also expressed their views on the
subject; but all testimony procurable
establishes the fact that burial alive
hardly ever takes place in these times.
In corroboration of this, many German
cities have in their cemeteries mortuary
houses. in which the dead are kept some
days before final interment, the bell-pull
being so arranged that the slightest mo-
tion of the body would sound an alarm.
So far these precautions have been super
fuous. In more than forty years not one
supposed corpse has proved to be any
thing else"

TIMELY TOPICS.

The grave can have no terrors for an
eccentric individual out in Illinois. He
SCOTS at the comforts of patent spring
mattress, with the accompanying pill
lows, holsters, sheets and snowy cover
lids, and even deems the Indian luxury
of a blanket and fire effeminate and
unworthy of man. In his back yard
there is shallow trench, in which he
lays himself each night at bedtime, and
a faithful man servant shovels earth over
him till nothing but his head is left un-
covered. He has no fear of fire or bur-
glars, but sleeps serene and happy in his
couch of earth If he should wake up
and find himself dead some morning, he
would be both dead and buried. It is
hardly necessary to say that he is not
married man.

During the seige of Paris there was
nobody more popular, and afterward
there was nobody more unpopular than
Sergeant Hoff. He with his own hand
slew twenty-seven Germans during the
first six weeks of the seige. His gallantry
was rewarded by praise lavished in his
regimental order of the day and in gen.
eral order of day, and the Legion of
Honor was bestowed on him. The Min
lister of War told him it was very impor-
tant that dispatch should reach Mar
shall Bazaine and offered him $4,000 to
undertake the mission. 1t was perilous.
He staked his head ON success. 1t was
easier for him than for many French
men-he was an Alsacian ard spoke Ger
man we'll He said to the Minister OF
War: II accept the mission, but re
fuse the money! Howl after howl of in
dignation went up when it was found
Sergeant Hotf had disappeared. 1t was
said that he had always been Prussian
spy and was now traitor The govern
ment gave the keynote to these howls
to save HOff's life if he were discovered
as he passed through the enemy's lines.
lie safely reached Bazaine. The war
over he was made keeper of Vendome
Column. The keeper of the Triumphal
Arch died the other day, and Sergeant
Hoff, to the delight of the Parisians, has
been appointed to the vacant place.
A New York paper has an article in
regard to the proposed plan of General
Fremont, Governor of Arizona, to extend
the Gulf of California by tapping the
northern end and letting it run into and
fill up the great Colorado Desert. 1t
seems that the sediment carried down
for ages by the great river Colorado mt
last collected at what was then its mouth,
in sufficient quantity to dam off the
northern arm of the Gulf of California
from any connection with the ocean.
The water in this unfed reservoir then
slowly evaporated, leaving n dry basin
100 miles by thirty, and this, together
with the surrounding slopes, soon be-
came a "bladeless desolation," while
the river turning southwark found en-
trance to the gulf many miles below.
Between this arid waste and the present
head of the gulf lies some thirty miles o
soft earth, just lifted above sea-level,
and through this Governor Fremont pro-
poses to cut his canal. 1t is a highway
of commerce that Is now contemplated,
but originally the main object aimed at
by pouring the desert full of water was
to restore the natural harmonies which
had been disturbed by the drying up of
the sea. Human remains prove that the
desert was lately fertile, and an old
Spanish map is mentioned which places
the boundaries of the gulf far beyond
their present positions.
