Attempt at burglary.

A great deal of excitement was ocoa-
stoned on ST. Mary's street last night by
the giving Of n burglar alarm at the res
ldenoe Of Mrs. G. N, Horton, whose
husband Is absent from the city. During
the night a burglar entered Mrs. Hor-
toms room, and while rummaging about
the bed, touched the lady, awaking her
with Il scream, which aroused an old
negro man who was sleeping in the back
yard. The negro awoke and saw a man
running away, and called TO him to stop.
The fellow stopped, turned and fired
three shots at the negro with his pistol
and then made good his escape towards
convent foot bridge without securing
any booty. The shots aroused the
nelghborhood and caused.a good deal of
excitement. An attempt was made to
chase the fugitive, but the trail was lost.

TBE miRE ETs or PARIS.


The Paris markets are probably the
finest in the world. The IIallcs Cen.
tralcs were built on the model of the
Crystal Palace, and though the other
markets in various quarters of Paris are
not 50 large and so fine, they are man
aged ON the same principles, and are
examples of what can he done when Il
people have an inkling that they are Il
real society and that the common good is
the trucst way of arriving nj the individ-
ual good This. however, cannot be said
of the sewerage system, as 1t was car
ricd cut in our ncighborhood. 1t IS
stated that there Is beneath the city u
great network of sewers tunncllcd over
and kept in such manner that through
portion of it visitors are conveyed
in tramcars until they come to the great
reservoir under the Rue Royalc; but of
this apparently perfect system we
rcapCd no advantage. Instead, we
were subjected for two or three nights
every few months TO the primitive and
barbarous custom of pumping up the
sewerage into great cylinders,
which were dragged away by team of
horses. In lying awake nj night | al
ways found that the only time ont of
the "a hours in which there was nbso.
lutte silence in Paris was about .
o'clock in the morning. Shortly after
this hour the market wagons began 10
pass on their road 10 lI0llcs Comrades,
where they arrive about 3 a. m. They
are there unloadcd by regiment Of
nearly 800 portcrs, called lies forts de
In Halle and who are only admitted
after their physical capacity and moral
character has been found satisfactory.
The greatest care is taken to prevent
Lad goods from being sold. The in
spoctors weigh and test every pound of
butter. The annual consumption of
eggs in Paris is said to reach the fab
ulous number of $50, 900, 900. Those
brought into the market are each
inspected, and similar care is cx-
ercisod over the meat; whatever is
CONDEMNED is covered with quicklime
and buried. The butchers shops in
Paris are models of cleanliness and
good order, and instead of making
difficulties about small joints you are
readily served with any amount you re-
quirc, There are many reasons for
this great superiority if compared with
the same sort of shops in London-thc
markets. the supervision of the author
tiles, the great economy of French
housekeeping, and the practice among
Partisan housckeepcrs of doing their
own marketing. - Good Words.

The Age of Horses.

A horses life, with moderate care
and good usage, is protracted to 2j,
80 or 40 years. A gentleman at Dull
witch, near London, had three mOnu-
mcnts of three horses who sevcrally
died in his possession at the age of 35,
81 and 80 years. The oldest, it is to be
remarked, was in n carriage the very
day he died, strong and vigorous, but
he was carried off in few hours by
spasmodic collie, to which he was sub
icct, AT Gresham, in Buckingham
shire, there was n horse 36 years old
which exhibited no symptoms of debil-
ity nor any external signs of age, cX-
Ccpt being nearly covered with warts
II was remarkable with regard to this
four-footed Ncstor that when an UNI
usually hard days work was required
he was chosen as never failing of what
was required of him. A horse named

time ball in his neck received in the
battle of Preston Pans, in the rebellion

death in 1858, Thus judging him to be

4 Poets Welcome.

The paper had gone TO press and the
editors were leaning back in their chairs
tanning themselves and wondering If
shcol could be any hotter than terra
when Il seedy-loolling man with red
nose entered the room, and said tim
idly:
Here is n poem
Instantly five editors sprang to their
feet and five clubs We're waving in the
air.
"On Beautiful Snow" continued the
sccdy man.
What !" simultaneously from five
voices.
"A poem on Beautiful Snow" re-
pCatcd the seedy man, with deliberation,
Five clubs dropped to the floor and
five men crowded around the poet and
shook him by the hands and patted him
on the shoulder, and fairly over
whclmed him with attention. Then the
editOr-in-c chief led the poet to the best
chair, and said:
Read ii to us. ="
The poet placed his hat, with his
handkerchief in it, on the desk, put on
a pair of rusty trimmed spectacles, and,
unfolding his manuscript, cleared his
throat, and began to read.
AS he spoke of the fleccy flakes de-
scending in soundlcss showers, of the
whitened fields, the northern blast
whistling o er the void, the editors put
aside their fans then they rolled down
their sleeves AS he proceeded with
his description Of the terrors of the
frost king, the fury of the storm, and
the frozen corpse found beneath the
snow next morning "a poem on Beauti-
full Snow without Il frozen corpse would
be incomplete), the editors shiyered
and arose and put on their coats.
When the poet ceased the thermomc-
ter in the Office had fallen thirteen and
one-half degrees,
Then the editor-in-chicf arose and
said
"A poet who in the strength of the
sweltcring heat of summer day brings
into a newspaper Office n poem on
Beautiful Snow deserves n monument.
As you are not apparently in any spe-
cial need of monument at present,
come out and Wen stand up the beer
for YOU.

way to the subteTanean depths of the
nearest hostelry Boston CDWicr.
