ViIdcn and His New House

Mr.. Tilden is about to prove to the
world that the stories that he is physical
wreck are unfounded. His house, facing
Gramercy Park. New York, is ready for
occupation. TO repair it S25O,0O0 have
been expended. There are very few finer
houses in New York. 1t is doubtful if it
is eXcelled by any except the Stewart
and Vanderbilt mansions. A COM
pany Of distinguished leaders of
the Democratic party is invited to
meet Mr.. Tilden in this grand
mansion Immediately after the November
elections. The invitations are already
out. At that reunion it may be deter
mined whether Mr.. Tilden is to be Pres
idential candidate or not. He is now on
friendly terms with Tammany, and he
would have the support of the united party
in New York. There seems to be no doubt
that leading New York politicians favor
the ..old ticket" Their argument is that
the lack of harmony in the party respect
ing the tariff makes it necessary to push
the tariff issue aside by the adoption Of
some other issue. Their object, it is as
serted, i to revive the ''fraud' issue by
nominating Mr.. Tilden. This programme,
of course, includes the election of Ran
dali to the Speakership. To put tariff
reformer in the Speakers chair would
make their programme impossible. 1t
is noticeable that the leading article
in Saturdays New York Sun was
made up Of extracts from an article
written by Mr.. Tilden seven years ago,
respecting two evils which invest the
official service Of the Federal government,
and the Sun refers TO Mr.. Tilden as "a
wise and patriotic man, a profound
thinker and an honest statesman" The
Holman boom was given a rest for at
least one day.

The Population of Paris.


An analysis of the population of Paris
Just published gives very singular
statistics as to the inhabitants of the gay
est city in Europe. 1t seems, also. for its
size, to be the most Industrious. The pro
portion in which the working classes eX-
coed those who live on their own incomes
is the more remarkable as Paris is the
recognized centre of expenditure and eX-
travagance for all France. There are no
cities that hold to the capital the same
relative position that Liverpool, Manches-
ter and Birmingham occupy relatively to
London. More than half million OfPaT-
isians are employed in commerce, trade
and banking operations, while of the arti-
san class there are considerably more
thal million and quarter, The liberal
professions seem to occupy but small
proportion of the population. All COM
bined do not amount to 10000, and in
the subdivisions the prominence is quite
different to what it would be with us.
The great majority are in the public ser
vice, which employs more than medicine,
law and divinity all combined. But. af-
ter the public service, it is art which gives
employment and livelihood to the greatest
number of Parisians. FOrty-twO thou
sand get their income from this branch of
industry. The doctors come after, but a
long way after. Medicine in its branches
supports $1,000, the branches, of course,
including chemists and all oOmpOunders
and vendors of medicine. Then comes the
law, with its 10000 votaries, from Judge
to baliff. Literature figures very low on
the list, for, grouped with science and
journalism, 1t gives employment to only
II, 900 people, while all the clergy of all
the persuasions amount to but half that
number. On the whole, Paris would seem
to be more Industrious, more artistic, less
literary and less religious than the ordi-
nary visitor would. suppose.

Count Chambord's village.

Chambord Village has so families; the
houses are let on leases at nominal rents
of 80 or 40 francs a year; those which
have bit of land or garden attached pay
90 francs. All these people are employed
in the park, the woods and the gardens of
the chateau. There is one shop at Cham
bOrd, the master Of the establishment be-
ing the baker and the grocer of the village.
Meat is brought a few times each year
by butcher from a neighboring town,
but the staple of the community is the
usual salt pork, the delight of all
French peasants, who fatten pigs and
salt the resulting pork and lard, of which
they make with cabbage or other Vegeta-
BILE The sempiternal ''sOupe' which, with
hunks of coarse bread. is the nearly I'M
varying diet OF the French peasantry.
There is one cafe in the village where
stronger drinks than coffee are obtainable.
Drunkenness is said TO be very rare among
the ChambOrdians: but the village con-
tains 'lock-up," and any one who
chances TO drink too much or otherwise
make "a nuisance of himself is forthwith
marched off and locked up therein. The
Republicans have been clamoring to have
the castle and domain of Chambord de-
clared national property. But it is certain
that the estate was the private and per-
sOnal property of its late owner, and that
it must be included in the general belong
ings which are left to the Countess for
her life, and to the Counts of Bardi and
of Parma after her death. The obstinate,
prejudiced and sOur-looking illustrissima,
who has gwen such deep Offense to the
R0yalist party by the maneuvre which
had the designed effect of keeping the
Count de Paris from the funeral at
Goritz, is believed to have determined to
enter convent in Syria, retiring al
together from the rest of the world.

Behind a smokeless Locomotive.

Paterson N. ID Cor. IhitddetDhid Star.
But the greatest wonder of my sum-
mer's travel was reserved to me recently,
on coming from Jersey City to this lovely
little city of Paterson hidden here so
snugly among the hills of Jersey. 1t is
indeed a wonder | never expected to wit
ness and accidently stumbled over it as
you may say. 1t is nothing less than a
smokeless locomotive, and on this trip of
twenty miles | found it not only smOkeless
but entirely free frem cinders and sparks.
This is not one of the .'going tO-be," but
is actually out now and running, for
saw it at the head of our train making
schedule time.
When we left the station of the Erie
railway at Jersey City l had no reason to
think we were going to be drawn by any
but an ordinary engine. Soon after start
ing the lamps were lighted for the cele-
brated Bergen tunnel, being mile long
and cut out Of solid rock under Bergen
heights. Passengers began as usual to
pull down the car windows to
shut out the black smoke and cinders that
usually DegTtuIe them from the regular
locomotives when passing through this
immense tunnel; but the polite brakeman
told them it was not necessary to close
the windows, as this engine made neither
smoke, sparks nor cinders at any time.
After getting through the tunnel as free
of smoke as the brakeman had predicted,
the passengers very naturally gave that
engine much attention, and as there was
no baggage car between our coach and
the engine, we had a clear view. All doors
and windows were open, and nothing but
pure air came in. Passengers left their
seats and crowded TO the front door next
the tender to watch for smoke, but for the
twenty miles that 1 rode on the train
they were not gratified. The entire alb
sence of sparks, smoke and cinders was
fully explained when the conductor kindly
us the engine burned gas for fuel told
madeiof oil and steam from the boiler. This
engine is the invention of DR.. Holland, OF
New York.

The Social struggle over Opera.

-fetC lOF6 Correspondence bUVdtO EGDF6SS.
Now the puzzle of the hour in fashion
able circles is ''WhO IS standing in the
gapY' Here comes in a chapter in social
history. When the Vanderbilts were first
working their way into society. and, con-
sequently, disposed to literally support
the old Academy, which always needed
financial assistance, their pretensions and
advances were and continued to be rudely
snubbed by the Belmont clique. Why. it
would be hard to tell, for any old New
Yorker personally acquainted with New
York and New Orleans society, as it ex-
listed fOrty-tive years ago, would tell YOU
that there was precious little difference
in favor of either side. When the subject
of a new opera house was preached, the
Vanderbilts gave it their prompt and
hearty support. The story goes that Mr..
Belmont. who controls the Academy quite
as automatically as his Nassau street
Office, instantly made a personal agree
ment with MaplesOn and Gye that none of
the artists controlled by them in Europe
(and they together were supposed to con-
troll all the good ones should sing in New
York except at the old house, and that
neither of them should accept the man
agement of the new one. As we had no
other opera managers except a few i'm
pecuniOsities like Grau and StrakOsch, it
rather looked as if Belmont had beaten the

NEW FOUNDLAND: IT'S HISTORY, It's PRES
ENT CONDITION, AND ITS PROSPECTS II
THE FUTURE. BY John HattOn and the
Rev. NJ. Harvey.
This volume of 43l pages is full OF ln-
terestng information. 1t contains all
that the general reader, or even the
scholar, cares to know about Englands
oldest colony. The matter is presented
in such an attractive way that one does
not tire of the volume. The illustrations
are excellent, and the subjects of them
are chosen with rare judgment. The
volume is a surprise in this, that 1t con-
tains so much that is deeply interesting
about a country that does not excite
much interest. Doyle Il White. Boston,

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1883-10-29

The particulars which have arrived by
mail OF the late volcanic CONFUSION in the
Straits of Sunda show that the loss of life
in that calamity has, if anything, been
rather under than Over-estmated. Tier.
ingen-which, with its population of ten
thousand, was engulfed in the waves, not
soul escaping-is only one Of several
coast towns which have totally disap-
peared. Where AMER once sood there is
now only wide eXpanse of mud. The
same is the case with Tanara, where the
day after the clamity l04 corpses We're
found. The populations Of karang,
AntOo. Kramat and Mauk were COM
pletely destroyed. The market place of
the first of these places was found chOked
with dead bodies, At all these spots the
people were drowned by the huge tidal
wave, in some cases as they were running
from their houses to gain the higher
ground, while in other cases inmates and
dwellings were swept away together.
The coast of Southern Sumatra could not
be approached owing to the dense masses
of floating pumice stone and the danger
from the new banks formed by the ashes
deposited during the eruption. News
reached Batavia that TelOk BetOug was
almost entirely destroyed and that for
many miles along the coast nothing had
escaped destruction. While krakataO
has been swallowed up by the waves
another island near has been split into
five parts, and sixteen new volcanoes
have sprung UP in the middle Of the sea.
Dead bodies were met with in all direo-
tiOns. The distress ofthose left alive was
shocking and many have since the erup-
ton died of starvation, but help was being
sent as fast as possible from Batavia. The
total loss Of life will never be known.
