Hon Time Passes in Paris.

You may talk about the marvels of pneumatic clocks, the convenience of monster omnihuses, the rapidity of communication between one quarter of Paris and another, but it is no use try ing to show that the Parisians have no time to spare, and that they are never in a hurry. They have go much time that they dcn't know what to do with 1t. They waste their time ike child wastes his gayety, or rich man his gold. They s4uander it looking at the stars in heaven, or the waters flowing under bridge. Did ever any one call euiate the time spent by the Parisian in reading handbills and postersp When dog barks at cat, when two sparrows make love 10 each other on a roof, when the canary has escaped into the street, at ouce crowd assemblies, nlnet y-nine per cent. of whic h does no know what 1t is all about. The mar riage of corner grocer with the daugh- ter Of the cheese -monger almost excites riot; the passage of coach-and- four causes grand excitement; the Parisians will stand tor hours with their feet in the mud to see procession which will not pass until the next day, if it pass that way at all. The Parisians are children who amuse themselves by playing at business like schoolboys who play at war. Tine only difference is that they have taken their amuse- ment au serieux. If pneumatic clocks did not exist, and if the day were only four hours long, you may be sure that they would find time to play dominoes and hang around the church door to catch glimpse of the ebride.-PdriSidn

An Indian Game.

When not on the warpath, or engaged
 in hunt ing, Western Indians spend
 much of their time in various games or
 contests of skill. Ofthese contests one
 the most popular is flying the arrow, sport to which the Indians of all tribes devote considerable time and atten- tion.
 When this game is proposed, each of those who wish to join in it lays on the ground something of small value, such
 as a pipe, quiver of arrows, bow;
 spear, tobacco pouch, or knife. and
 when all have been collected, the value of the whole makes 8 prize well worth i trying for. Then bows are carefully examined, a
 dozen of the best arrows in the culver
 selected, and the first of the competitors steps out in front of tLe rest and pre- pares to shoot, not at Q mark but
 straight up into the air. His object IS l to have as many arrows in the air IS possible at the same time; and he who can send up the greatest number. be-
 fore the first touches the ground. wins the game and all the prizes.
 But few of the most expert of the In- dian bowmen have been known to rnt more than ten arrows into the air at once, and to do even this requires extra ordinary skill and strength. The ar-
 rows, ten or twelve in number, arc he'd l in the hand that grasps the DOW. and the rapidity with which each is fitted to the string and sent upward is truly wonderful. HavpeY's Y0ttsg People,z

Life Among the New York Tenements.

The interval between the close of working hours and nightfall afford the best opportunity for learning some- thing of the crowded condition of the tenement district. Beginning shortly after six o'clock, an apparently endless procession of laboring men and women and children is moving along the side walk on either side of every street. Making due allowance for those who are hastening toward the East river ferries, it is almost impossible to be- lieve that nearly all of these per, ons find room in which to sleep and take their meals without going further than they can walk, going to their work and returning; but within an hour this flood of humanity has subsided, and the num- Der of persons on the sidewalks is no greater than at other hours of the day. The vast number have found shelter in rooms opening from the dark halls that lead up through four and five stories of the great tenements. Then the win dows, row upon row, begin to be lighted up, and tenement house life is shown in another aspect. A fair idea Of the swarms of persons housed in this district may be gained by walking through the streets, then entering one of the rear houses and going to the roof, from which countless rear windows may be seen lighted, ,and remembering that for each light there is household. From such point of view the observer looks down upon an apparently boundless pile of bricks, hollow within, and filled from cellar to root with humanity; and the wonder grows upon him that the vitiated air rising from the nostrils of so many breatheTs does not beioul the atmosphere to the very clouds. 80 that hirdc attnnntinp to ffy across shall fall suffocated, as they are sa q to fall into the sulphurpus craters of slumhering volcanoes. That so many persons sleep. tier upon tier, through the night, and have strength to make their. way out when morning comes, seems almost like perpetual contradiction of the nice calculations as to the amour of air re- quired to sustain life in T person for Q given perioGa --NeU York sUae.

.pecial to the Journal says the reports
that senator Edmunds has Withdrawn

most intimate personal friends, for
very good reasons. lie never consid-
ered himself In any sense candidate,
contingent or otherwise, and had not,
up TO this time, regarded the use Of his
name as serious matter. A member
of the Vermont delegation said to your
correspondent today that Edmunds had
aid 10 him, within the week. that the
talk about his being a candidate was
preposterous and absurd. He had no
inclination and would not accept the
uosition IL every man in the United
states should rise up and demand 1t.
The member who furnished the con-
ysrsation says it Is his opinion II the
Edmunds' boom continues 10 grow, the
senator will quickly stop It by refusing
in the most positive manner TO allow
his Dame TO be used, and by declaring
that under no consideration will lie
consent To become candidate for the
Office for which he feels he Is not most
htted.

far as can be learned the board has no
other power than-to cause the enforce
ment Of the existing laws regarding
nuisances and overcrowding. The laws
and ordinances relating to the former
bear more heavily upon property own
ers than upon the occupants Of the
occupants Of the buildings, and were
they enforced strictly, the Caucasian
property owners Of Chinatown would
suffer more than the Mongolianten-
ants OF the condemned buildings.
