Paris Correspondence London Paper.
Many of tho inhabitants of Paris havo
followed tho oxatnplo sot thorn in Madrid,
and Imvo Hod from their homos lo escape
tho cholera, which is committing sad hav
oc in certain districts of tho French capi
tal. Tho nuinbor of deaths in this city on
Saturday was 370, and on tho following
day 375.
Madrid (Oct. 16) Correspond onco London Tlmos,
ll is calculated that 00,000 porsons havo

havo taken tho cholera with thorn, sovoral
cases having occurred sinco thoir arrival.
It is stated that a deputation lias boon or
ganized in Valladolid to petition tho
Queen that the authorities of their city
should havo power to prohibit tho ontry
of immigrants during tho provalonco of
tho epidemic In Madrid.
Tho Epoca calls upon those who have
left Madrid not to forget tho poor whom
they lonvo behind, now so greatly in nood
of holp. Tho government lias rosolvod to
dismiss ovory functionary, high or low,
who shall not ho found at his post i;i Ma

idly decreasing at Vuloncia and Barcelo

Sarnigocna and Leon. It is prevalent in
part of Estromndura, and still oxists in
La Mancha, Murcia and Mallorca. It is
fearod that tho emigration consequent
upon panic may yet carry it to that part
of Oust'do not yot invaded, and to tho Aus-
Lriftfl, Gallicia and tho Basquo provinces.
The last return published announces ono

An official roport. addrossod to the Em

very latoly how tho malady was intro
duced, and proposod a grand international
measuro to prevent ilsroturn. Marseilles,
Toulon, Arios, and some secondary towns
of tho south, which, together with Italy,
have experienced its attacks, are now re
lieved From it. Scarcely in tho other parts
of Franco havo there boon more than a
fow isolated cases; Paris in particular will
lmvo been relatively but little affected, as
tbo number of cholora patients admitted
into tiie hospitals, or nltuckod in them du
ring tho course of a day, is now only ono
hundred and ten. Everything, moreover,
announces that tho epidemic is destined to
dio out without acquiring any sorious de
velopment.

The Premier’ll I^ast Hours,
[From the London Daily Telegraph, Oct. 20.]
Uo might perhaps lmvo been alivo sliL,
but for thut very cbocriness and sturdy
spirit which made him so like un English
ouk. Tho doctors could never get him lo
take proper care of himself, lie wa born
with a niagnificont physical and mental
constitution, arid had never had a real
illness in his lifo. Latterly, as everybody
knows, tho gout had sadly troubled him ;
but ho was not suffering directly from that
when tho fatal woek began, it was from
an inflammatory attack of tho bladdor
that tho Pronjjer died. Uo was driving
on Thursday near Brocket Hall, and lie
had boon warned to take great euro of
himsolf; but, feeling ovor-warm with tho
precautions adopted, lie imprudently ex
posed himsolf to a chill, and roturnod to
tho houso in such a stale that collapse on-
Buod, and but for tho presence of tho phy
sician it is possible that ho would have
died within two hours. IIo recovered,
howovor, from that, but lay in his bed
very wo&k, and very much changed, for
tho affection mounted to tbo ducts and
kidneys, and, tho tocrotions being sus
pended,Iho blond was becoming poisoned
ritill his superb cunstituti.):, guvu iropvc
especially when tho difficulty of respira
tion becamo loss, and on Tuesday after
noon a favorablo bulletin was issued ; but
at night his condition suddouly grow
much worse, and it was soon apparent
that tho end approached. His state of
mind up to tho last remained unclouded ;
he was in full possession of his faculties,
and sufferod very littlo pain. But there
camo a lassitude over him which pre
vented any effort or wish to converse;
questions put to him woro either disre
garded or answered by a look or sign. A
silonco, half imposed by woarinoss, half
of hi9 own inclination, possessed him. Un
tho day before his death, howovor, when
in a dozo procoding tho lust change, his
mind was evidently still amid its old asso
ciations; for ho was hoard to murmur, us
in it dream, “Tho treaty with Belgium I
S 3B, road rao that sixth clauso again.”
ut at tho last a perfectly peucoful domiso
crownod tho long‘and soreno hoallhlul-
ness of his lifo; ho sank away gently—
flickered a littlo, like an expiring lamp,
and then “wont out” rather than “died;”
and thoy hardly know in iho deulh-clmm-
bor at what exact moment tho great
statesman,whose name had boon on ovory
page of our history for fifty yoars, cousod
to be among tho living. At that supremo
moment thoso dearest to him were about
his bod, with tbo exception of Lady Pal-
morston.who had been gently withdrawn
Thoro woro presont tho minister of public
works and Mrs. Cowpor, tho Earl of
Shaftesbury and tho Countess, Viscoun
tess Jocelyn, Mr. Evelyn Ashley, and
tho physicians. Tho grief of this circle
was lessoned, so fur us it could be, by the
spectaclo of a quiet nnd eas'-fui parting,
hallowed, before tho shades of death chiiio
bo near lo tho dim eyes, nnd tho lips grew
so slow to movo, by faith in the words
taught by that church of which tho Pre
mier died a true mom her.
A Farmer Without Arms. — W. M.
Beaucamp, of Onondaga county, Now
York, sends to tho American Agricultu
rist an interesting account of u Lamer Uo
formorly know, who was born without
arms:
lnsload of appealing to tiie charitable
for support ho commenced early to hoi|
himself. His first pioperty was a hen
chickens next, a pot lamb, and aflorwards
a shaggy colt, ifci took good care of
thoso, and increased hi? stock a littlo at a
timo until bo bocaino a prosperous farmer.
Having no hands, ho lenrnod to Qso his
toos, which were longer than common,—
His logs woro also very tlexiblo, and by
practice ho was onablcd to readily pot form
most operations wit h ease. IIo put on and
took off his own clothing, shaved and fed
hinpself, milked his own cows, and took
part in most labors of tho farm. Lie was
a torror to evil-doers, whom he could
I mnish with sevority. llowas powerfully
milt, and possessed of great strength in
tho head and shoulders, lie would butt
liko a ram, or soizo an offending urchin
with bis teeth and shako him with bull
dog tenacity. IIo died at tho age ol m-v-
onty, leaving a largo family—having boon
married throo times.
A Richmond pnpor, discussing tho in
creased mortality of tho negroos in a stato
of froodom, says:
In a county of this Slate a gentleman,
some timo during thoyear 1863,lost ninety-
eight slaves by flight to tbo Fedoral lines.
Witbirt two years from tho timo of tho es
cape of thesa negroes uceurato and relia
ble information was received, showing
that, during tho time designated, twonty-
fivo out of the ninety-eight negroes hud
died. Another gentleman, in tho samo
county, lost about tho same time twenty-
six negroos by ©scape to tho free Stato- 1 .
When ho heard from them, after a period
of thirty-ono months, eight of tho original
number had died. Other similar exam
ples might ho given.

Selling u Fellow.
Last summer, whilo engaged in tho to
bacco and sugar business, I used to havo I
for a customer in cheap cigars ono of those
fellows whose knowledge serves better to
boro his victim than advancing science.
You couldn’t nmko him boliove that—oh
no! Toll him that theso were regalia ci
gars that cc'.sL $40 per thousand. It might
do to stuff down tho throats of those who
know no better; ho was none of them.
And so it was with everything; ho always
appeared to bo his delight to draw mo into
some controversy, no matter what tho sub
ject, in order to hear himsolf hold forth,
1 tried every way 1 could think of to cir-
uinvcr.t him, but atdast I did succeod in
laying him out as a flounder.
It was on a Saturday afternoon, ho camo
in,-madehis purchase, and seated himsolf
to deal mo out his usual portion,but 1 was
awake for hi .).
’Captain,’ said l, ‘I bavo made up my
mind to go to California, and if you wish
lo go into a speculation, now is your timo,
sir.’
‘As how V’ said he.
'Why, you seo them fifteen boxes of ci«*
gars? Well, thoro are two hundred and
fifty in each box, and I will let you havo
the. whole lot atu low rap*, providing you
will take them all.’
'Very well,’ said my friend, ‘let’s hear
tho conditions.’
‘You givo me ono cent for the first box,
two for tho second, four for tho third, and
so double up ou ovory box.’
‘Done,’ said he, ‘fetch on your cigars.
Suppose you think 1 haven’t money
enough—eh ?’
‘Not at all; so lot’s proceed ; hero’s tho
first box.’
Uo drow from bis pocket a loathern
purse, and out with n handful of coin.
'And here’s tho cent,’said he, deposit
ing a groon discolored copper on tho coun
ter.
‘Hero’s your second box,’
‘And here’s your two conts.’
‘Very well, here’s your third box.’
'And horo’s your four conts,’ said ho,
chuckling.
‘Here’s your fourth box.’
'Exactly; and bore's your eight cents!
11a ! ha ! old follow—go on.’
'Here’s your fifth box,’ said 1, handing
down another box.
‘And here’s your sixteen cents.’
‘Hero’s ynut sixth box.’
'And—ha! ha! kal— horo’s your thirty-
two e«*nts.’
‘Here’s your seventh box,’
‘And hero—ha I by JovJ, the joke is
gelling too rich—here's your sixty-four
cents, and nearly half your .cigars gone.’
‘Horo’s your eighth box,’ said l, assum
ing a cool indifference that perfectly as
tonished the fellow.
‘And hero's your dollar and twenty*
eight cents.’
‘Here’syour ninth box.
‘Ami hero is your—lot mo soo—ah ! two
dollars and fifty-six cents.’
'Here’s your lonth box.’
Here lie drow Ids wallet thoughtfully,
and on tho slato made a small calculation.
‘flora's, your eleventh box.’
‘And hero is your—twice fivo is ton,
twio.o twelvo is twenty-four—ton dollars
and twenty*four cents.’
»At this stago of tho game ho bad got
quite docile, and 1 continued :
‘Here is your twelfth box, band ovor
twenty dollars and forty-eight cunts.’
Hero tho globules of perspiration,as largo
as marrow-fat poas, stood out in bold re
lief on his face, but at length ho doled out
the required amount.
‘Hero is your thirteenth box, fork over
forty dollars and ninety-six conts.'
At this crisis ho looked perfectly wild.
Tho sweat was pouring off him in streams,
and tobacco juice was running cut of his
mouth.
‘Forty-f-ninoly-six. If I do, but if 1
do, I will ho hanged, I will.’
New Theory or the Earth.—Mr.
John Calvin Moss of England contests
tho much vexed theory that tho center of
tho earth is a muss of lire and molten rock,
over which a crust lias formed, propor
tionally a moro shell, on which wo livo.
“The idea that tho interior of our globe
is u vast, fiory ocean doubtless arose,”
says Mr. Moss, “from tho idea that bout
was a material substance, and would havo
to pass off into space before tho earth could
cool: whoroas the moro modern research
es of science show that heat is no moro a
material substance than motion, gravita
tion or magnetism, but that it is moroly a
conditi* ii of matter; and that in tho caso
in question, instoad of passing off from
tho Hurtli, it would only become, by a
gradual chemical action, fixed or latent.
But oven supposing that cooling would or
did take placo, it is a well known fact that
all subslaneos—water in the state of ico
alone excepted— increnso in density or
weight ns their heat is diminished, so that
Lite cooler portions would bo tho first to
sink from tho surfaco toward the center.
19 it not quite evident that those substan
ces most difficult of fusion, and possessing
tho greatest specific gravity, would there
fore be the first to find tiieir \fcny to the
center? Now, gold, platinum nnd a fow
of tho precious metals possess thoso quali
ties in a high degreonbovo all other known
substances, and though wo know them to
be scare o on tho surface of the earth, wo
have no assurance that they tiro not abun
dant in nature. L believe that the interior
of the earth is abundantly supplied with,
if not mainly composed of thorn. Tim
specific gravity ol the earth has been vari
ously calculated at 4 95, 5.44, 5.48 and 656,
whilo that of platinum is 21.5, and gold
19.3. The spooihe gravity of the rocks
| which mainly compos© tho crust, which
U under our observation, doos not exceed
2 5; nnd supposing that the average donsi-
; ty of all tho constituents of tho earth, cx-
1 copt tho metals named, is no higher, about
one-fifth of tho earth may ho composed of
| gold and platinum—a globe lour or five
| thousand miles thick. The value of such
l a deposit mny be dimly imagined, when
I it is remembered that live million dollars
1 will go in a box two nnd a half foot oubo.
I Certainly no safer placo for such a deposit
could bo found than, the heart of tho
earth.”
| In responso to a communication from a
i Southern gentleman,-who proposed certain
measures for re-establishing tho labor sj’s-
j tom of tho South, Oonoral Howard has
I replied ns toliows : Any specific planta
tion regulations, which arc not inconsist
ent with iho freedom of tho employees,
muy be adopted anywhere, nnd 1 will
cheerfully aid in their cxcnitiuiij but 1
am equally anxious to afford as much lati
tude as possible to individual enlorpriso,
