TIE MYSTERY or HOTEL CONYrR
S12ION.

SA7IOR.
Under all circumstances, whether the
occasion be one Of courtesy or condol.
ence, joy or sorrow, an American weaves
into his speech idiomatic expressions
and conversational surprises the more
grotesaue that they are 30 unconscious
ly delivered. Nothing is more comical
than the puzzled Astonishment Of the
English tourist at the ordinary conver-
sation Of steamboat and railroad passen-
gers in this country, and their endeavors
to reconcile the utterances of the speak
ers with their utterly unconcerned ex-
pressions.
"Waiter," said guest at hotel
breakfast table, in the most matter Of
fact way, and without changing muscle
of his face, "these flannel cakes seem to
have been stamped out of sole-leather
by steam die"
"Yess'r," replied the equally uncon
cerned waiter.
"Just send up plateful to my room;
I'll have my boots half soled with them, +"
continued the matter-of. fact boarder. as
he sampled another dish.
Gan right, sir" responded the i'm
perturbable waiter as he changed the
plates.
But couple Of just arrived London
ers, sitting at the same tablo, were pro,
foundly mystiaed, and even ordered
cakes to test their durability personally.

Lafayette.

The ground reserved for Lafayette's
family also contains the tomb of Col,
Lasteyrie, the Generals son-in-law, and
that of Nine. Grammont's sons. A slab
of white marble placed on the wall at
the bottom bears an inscription relative
to the death of one of Lafayette's grand
children, Nine. de Peron, whose maiden
name was Maubourg.
Behind the wall next to Lafayette's
tomb are expresses and some poplars.
One of the latter, the emblem of death,
seems to abandon its wthered branches
to the wind, thus adding to the melan-
choly aspect Of this field of rest. The
soil on which these trees stand covers
the remains of number of victims of
the reign of terror, among whom are
some of Nine. Lafayette's nearest rela-
tives.
Nine. Lafayette having expressed a
desire to be buried in this spot, her
wishes were respected, and the observ-
ance Of them ultimately decided the
burial.place of her husband.
The tomb of Lafayette, unostenta-
tious, like those of his friends, Wash
ington and Franklin, is daily visited by
many who honor his memory, by stran-
gers who have known him, and by those
who regret that they were deprived Of
that happiness. A register, which is
deposited with the porter of the ceme-
terry, is filed with the names of the
visitors.

The private Cemetery where the re-

the Rue de Picpus, No. Is, at the ex-
tremity Of the Faubourg Saint Antoine,
In Paris. The entrance is through q
spacious court, the buildings Of which
are occupied ty a religious community,
and at the bottom of which is a modest
looking chapel. A large garden, covered
with fruit trees, shrubs and plants, is
next crossed, and long alley of limo
trees, bordered with hedge Of yoke
elm trees. then leads to the inclosure re-
served for the cemetery. The latter 10
surrounded with walls, and represents
an'oblong square into which there sfe

contains but two rows of mausoleums.

separated by gravel path, at the ex-
tremity of which is stone cross. At
the southeast angle of the ground is the
place reserved for Lafayette and his
fa,ily.
The tomb of Lafayette, which is sur
rounded with IN iron railing, is but lit
tie higher than the ground, and is COM
posed Of two large black marble tablets,
slightly inclined, and forminga very OBJ

tend on both sides of the monument that
covers the remains of both husband and
wife as with roof.
The following is the arrangement OF

ADVERTIsING rs. DRUHNE RS.

During the past few years there has
been q manifest change on the part OF
Wholesale merchants in the appreciation
Of the value of travellers as compared
with newspaper advertising. A firm Of
heavy dealers in Chicago, about three
years ago, dispensed with its drummers,
and, for the purpose OF experiment, ex-
pended the amount of their annual ex
penses in advertising, with such excellent
results as to cause them to do away with
drummers altogether. Other firms in
various parta Of the country are said to
have done likewise.
The cost of "drummers is enormous.
It is stated that the weekly cost Of the
commercial travellers of New York city
alone for railway fares and hotel bills
exceeds $780, 600. Add to this their
salaries, which are not less than $780,
600, and it will bc seen that the annual
coat OF drummers Of that one city ex-
ceeds $50, 100000. The same proper
tionate cost prevails throughout the
country.
Merchants are beginning to see that
the results do not justify this outlay,
and that the methods Of competition Of
many drummers are such that the in
tercsts OF legitimate tradeslnen would be
rs well, If not better, secured by newspa-
per advertising, and ut much less expense
The newspaper nowadays reaches every
household and every dealer, and ad.
dresses thousands, where the CONNER
cial traveller addresses one, a fact that is
being appreciated more aud more every
day by merchants, wholesale as we'll a.

thirty miles from Paris--to the north
east. Workmen were put ON the road
in vast gangs and had it prepared with
asphaltum every inch Of the way. Chi
nese lanterns and Bengal lights rendered
it as light as day along the entire way.
The peasantry hocked in from all the
neighboring provinces. The scene re-
sembled Greek mystery. Forests Of
new frees in full growth were set out
wherever the roadside happened TO b.
bare. The imperial carriage, which
left the Tuileries at s o'clock, passed
through continuous masses Of holiday
spectators. Along the route wine and
edibles were given by the Rothschilds'
orders to all who bore decorations any
sort-howers or oolors. The chateau it.
