Cromwell was one day engaged in warm
argument with lady on the subject of ora
tory, in which she maintained that eloquence
could only be acquired by those who made
it their study from early youth, and their
practice afterwards. The Lord Protector, on
the contrary, maintained that there was an
eloquenee which sprang from the heart: since
when that was deeply interested in the at
tainment of any object, it never failed TO sup
ply a fluency and richness of expression,
which would, in the comparison, render vapid
the studied speeches OF the most celebrated
orators. 1t happened, some days afterwards,
this lady was thrown into state bordering on
distraction, by the arrest and Imprisonment
of her husband, who was conducted TO the
Tower as traitor TO the government. The
agoniZed wife few to the Lord Protector,
rushed through his guards, threw herself at
his feet, and, with the most pathetic elo-
quencs, pleaded for the life and innocence of
her injured husband. His hghness main
taintained severe brow, till the petitioner,
overpowered by the excess OF her feelings, and
the energy with which she had expressed
them, paused; then his stern counlenance
relaxed into a smile, and extending to her an
order for the immediate liberation OF her hus-
band, he said, Il think all who have witness
ed this scene will vote on my side OF the ques
ton, in dispute between us the other day,

that mechanically acquired by study."-EE-

They have very interesting young mons
ster in Jail at Jackson, Mich, in the shape of
boy fifteen years OF age, who has an unnatu
al appetite for devouring raw flesh and drink
ing hot blood. 1t is his delight to take live
fowl, twist off its head, suck the blood from
the neck, and then strip off the skin and de
your the flesh. He also eats raw beef and
mutton with great eusto. and it requires the
rations of three or four men TO make salts
and eats them shells and all, several dozen at
a sitting. This remarkable phenomenon was
first discovered in poor-house. where he was
probably kept in state of constant starva-
tion, which begot "lite-long hunger" in his
stomach that nothing can entirely satisfy.
Some enterprising reporter asked him il he
could eat raw baby, and he expressed the
opinion that he could, and relish the meal
right well.

BY clingng to Rome the Pope has shown
that the councils Of the Catholic Church are
new trouble in a new age; but the Pope

that there is nothing in the present aspect of
things to bar the hope that the Catholic
Church will live long enough to give Macau-

The Prussian Occupation and Evacuation


of Paris-Herald Special Reports and


Map OF France.


We have full and interesting particulars by
special cable telegram from the NEW YORK
HERALDs correspondent in Paris, which we
publish in another column this morning, of
the German occupation of the capital of
France and its subsequent evacuation by the
soldiers of Germany. Our news columns
supply all the information that could
be cleaned of the German occupation,
the conduct of the Parisians during the stay
of the victors, and the satisfaction which
was expressed when it was announced that
the retirement would Immediately commence.
The military pageant, as it is described by the
HERALD writer, was very brilliant. The
cavalcade commenced to move through the
city at al early hour in the morning and
played the tattered banners Of many of the
German regiments. The men moved under
the Arch Of Triumph in the blaze of sudden
burst of sunshine. Precautions against oppo-
siton or disorder were not neglected by the
Prussians generally; for it was observed that
cannon were unlimbered near the arch, and
that the gunncrs stood ready for duty should
il have been made necessary to clear the side
avenues. The act was completed, however, in
quiet.


With our special dispatches we publish
HERALD map, ample and most carefully pre-
pared, setting forth the ceded territory of
Alsace and Lorraine, accompanied by de-
scriptive account Of its population, area and
resources. This exhibit pictures France as it
was, shows the portion of the soil which has
been lost to the French, the fortified places,
cities, towns and other strategic points which
have been conquered from them by the vic
tors. and presents the land as it remains for
its regeneration.


The war is ended, and now that peace has
at length dawned on France let US hope that
with its restoration may come q resumption
of commercial activity, revival of industry
and an effort to call back that prosperity which
during tle war was silenced and crushed but
not annihilated.

THE WAY THEY Do IT.-How


the Arab ladies perfume themselves is


thus described by Sir Samuel Baker,


in his work on the Nile:


In the floor of the hut or tent, as it
may chance TO be, a small hole is ex-
cavated, sufficiently large to contain a
champagne bottle. A fire of charcoal,
or simply glowing cmbers, is made
within the hole, into which the woman
about to be scented throws a handful
OF drugs, She then takes off the
clothes or robe which forms her dress,
and crouches naked over the ftmes,
while she arranges her robe to fall as a
mantle from her neck to the ground
like a tent. She now begins to per-
spire freely in the hot air bath, and the
pores of the skin being open and moist
the volatile oil from the smoke Of the
burning perfumes is Immediately abb
sorbed. BY the time the fire has ex>
pied the scenting process is completed,
and both her person and her robe are
redolent of incense, with which they
are so thoroughly impregnated that |
have frequently smelt a party of wo-
men strongly at full a hundred yards
distance, when the wind has been
blowing from their direction. This
scent, which is supposed to be very
to gentlemen, is composed of
ginger, cloves, cinnamon, frankincencc
and myrrh, a species of sea weed
brought from the Red sea, and lastly
the horny disc which covers the aper-
ture when the shell fish withdraws itself
from the shell. The proportions of the
ingredients in the mixture are accord
ing TO taste.

We suppose that Prof. David For
Der, of England, knows as much
about the interior of the earth as any
man living. In a late lecture he in
sisted that all the objections brought
by geology, mathematics, or astron-
omy, against the old theory that the
earth is molten mass surrounded by
a crust about fifty miles thick, are
quite untenable. He would have us
believe, while the outer layer of melt
ed matter, just below the earth's crust,
may be kind of glossy Stag, that,
not far below this layer, salamander
bent on discovery would find the pure
molten metals, of which the heaviest
gold, platinum, etc.-would be at
the earth's centre. Very likely the
mass of the earth is molten iron; and
this view is quite corroborated by the
fact that the broken fragments of some
disrupted world, which, in the form
of aerolites, are continually falling
from the sky are often metallic iron.
But what a tantalizing thought it is,
that just under our feet are countless
tons of the precious metals, only wait
ing for John Whopper to let us know
the route by which he passed through
to China.-Scribner's for Nay

food but in either case, the pig, to do

more profitable as a rule to fatten
