A Glimpse Of Life In Paris.

A Paris correspondent of the Boston
Globe writes: Paris Is, indeed, a beau
tiful city; its long miles of white houses,
OF uniform height and style of architec-
ture; its wonderfully clean and suberbly
paved streets, win for this metropolis
the admiration of every visitor. The
water in the cutters and drains is mar
velously clean, and the poorest workman
is paragon of politeness; rough in his
outward appearance, heavy shoes, cor
duroys and blue blouse, he is an agreea-
BILE disappointment to one who asks some
information in regard to street or boule-
ward he may wish to find. To-day I
visited the Jardin de Plants and found it
resembling IN many respects the Zoo :
logical Gardens in Regents Park, in
London. All ranks, high and low, rich.
and poor, were strolling through the in
closure, feeding the animals, sitting on
the benches beneath the trees or exam
lining the museum. There are collections
Of botanical specimens from all parts of
the world. Every animal has its den to
which it can retire, its tree to climb or
burrow to dig in. The feathered tribe
hay their pool of clear water to bathe in
and their grass plot. and graveled walk
to traverse and exercise upon when they
will. There is circular building within
the grounds-a sort of amphitheatre set
apart for lectures on zoology and ornith-
ology. The French are strange people.
In window on Rue ST. Denis 1 saw
offered for sale prayer books, beads, and
fchromos ridicuhng the clergy, all side
Eby side in the same window, and also
along several boulevards. J. observed
the same strange Inconsistency in the
display of religious goods. During my
halt at Calais I saw the monume nj
erected to commemorate the embarkation
of Louis XVIII for London, which is
near the quai of this ancient seaport. At
Boulogne Sur Mer saw also monu-
ment erected to NapoleanI. from the

Sen-LumInous Photographs.

Self-luminous photographs are at the
present moment, according to the Pho
tograaohic Neaos, attracting much public
attention in Vienna. When these are
examined by daylight they look like
ordinary paper photographs; but in the
dark they are beautifully phosphorescent
in the high lights, have a more or less
feeble glow in the half-tones, and in the
deep shadows possess no luminosity.
The preparation of these self-luminous
photographs is very simple. A silver
print on albumen paper, or collotype,, is
rendered transparent by brushing over
it mixture Of equal volumes of castor
oil and oil of turpentine. The stlpefAd-
GUS oil is removed by means of cotton
wood or q linen rag, and the phospho-
resent paint is then put on. The paper
thus prepared is then dried, and after
ward mounted with its reverse side on
cardboard. So soon as it has been ex-
posed to, the daylight, and the light pen
etrates through the transparent or semi
transparents parts, the phosphorescence
of the luminous paint underneath is ex-
cited, and in the dark the image is seen
with all its gradations; brilliant pictures,
and moonlight landscapes, give espec-
tally good results. These self-luminous
photographsswefe first introduced TO the
Vienna public at a. ball given by the
chemical students of the Technical high
school on the Sd of March last. The
ladies' ball programmes were decorated
with elf-luminous picture representing
an alchemist at work in laboratory.

SATURDAY, SEPT. "a, 1881,
DEAD.

The tragedy is ended and the as
sassin's bullet has finally done its
work. President Garfield is dead
His brave struggle with the destroy
er was all for naught, and to day the
nation mourns the loss of its honor
ed head. We are all one in sorrow
The great heart of the nation throbs
with but one common pulsat ion, and
that of grief. Men of every shade Of
political opinion, have hushed for q
time their chickering's, and unite in a
common sorrow. Everywhere thro'-
out the length and br eadth of this
vast Republic, tears are flowing, for
hearts are breaking with weight
of woe. A hero, a soldier, a chris
tian statesman has passed away, and
only his memory is left to revere.
But the wisdom of our forefathers
has provided for such contingencies,
and there will be no jar or shock to
the machinery of the government.
The world will move on, like the
restless stream, forever, and our
Stree institutions will endure, chas-
tened by the blood of our martyrs,
while liberty and law shall remain
the jewels of the republic"

BERKELEY COUNTY AGRICUL-
TURAL ASSOCIATION.

The attention of our readers is
called to a notice in the columns Of
this paper, of general meeting of
the stockholders of this Association.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
stockholders will not decide to dis
continue the present organization
and make sale of the Fair Ground.
We are we'll aware that this institu-
ton has not been encouraged by the
farmers of Berkeley county as it
should have been, and that to keep
1T up, a dlsproportiOued shaIc of la
Dor, toll and pecuniary responsibility
has devolved upon few Of our most
active citizens. We can well see
that they have grown weary of sus-
tanning an enterprise which does not
elicit the cordial sympathy of our
agricultural community. Yet we
trust it is not too late to wake up
our farmers to proper perception of
their true interests. This Associa-
tion was started for their benefit
1t was to improve the stock of the
county, and to develop its agricultu-
raj capabilities. No one can doubt
that it has already done much sub
stantial good, besides affording a
few days in the year for social recre-
alton and enjoyment. This is the
only Fair in West Virginia east of
the Allegheny mountains, and sure
ly if our Agricultural Association,
in this rich and productive region
shall prove a failure, it will be a
great reproach to the people Of this
section of the State.
We call upon the farmers to come
to the rescue. Let every existing
stakeholder attend the general meet
ing, and let those who have not here
tofore become stockholders, join it
before the general meeting, so that
they can have voice in determining
whether it shall longer exist or not.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR is now
President Of the United States. His
responsibilities are great, as are also
his opportunities. If he will prop
erly appreciate the one and embrace
the other, he will have plain sailing,
and the same generous support and
confidence extended and reposed in
the deceased President, will be given
him. He is now the President of
the American people, and it is their
duty 10 uphold and support him in
all his efforts to faithfully admins
ter the laws in the interests Of the
people and good government, as they
will surely condemn and criticise
any wilful neglect thereof. If he
will take up and finish the work laid
down by his predecessor, he will have
no reason to complain Of proper sup,
port on the part of the people.
