At CMselhurat, in Kent, not far from
London, waa celebrated on August 15,
the fete Napoleon. Tho ceremony was
limplu—namely, the performance of high
mass in the church of St. Mary, where
Napoleon III. is entombed, followed by a
reception of thoao Frenchmen who felt
inelinrd to pay their reipoet* to the
young Prince and the oi-Einpres* in exile.
Two hundred French men and women
went from London to Chiselhurst. The
procession to Coiudcn House, where the
Empress Eugenia und the Prince reside,
was headed by three old soldiers who had
served under the First Empire, walking
abreast—one of them within threo years
of a centenarian, bearing the French
tricolor.
Gas, Jons S. Mushy,of Virginia, who
was strongly in favor of Grant a few
weeks ago, bos come out in favor of the
Conservative ticket in his State. The
Washington Republican, Grant's hand-

foot and dragoon, to the rank* of the
Democracy.” Tho Washington corre
spondent of tho Cincinnati Commercial
says, August 31:
” The recent disaffection of Mosljy from
tbs Republican cause has drawn open
him tho anathemas of the organs of the
party with which ho lately affiliated. The
organs hero now characterize him os a
marauding guerilla, who did nothing it
the war but rob chicken coops, capt ure
sutler’s wagoas and harass und rob strag

The convention of the Colorado desert
into a great inland lake is not the only
project of the kind now before tho world.
All desorts have at some time boen the
bud* of seas. Somewhere there ha* been
an inlet through which tho water flowed
as it runs now through tho Straits of
Gibraltar. An upheaval in tho narrow
pass would convert tho Mediterranean
bottom into a desert. Some snch phe
nomenon has already interposed tho Sa
hara between Northern and Southern
Africa. A Captain Bouldin has found
that this desert, in Algeria, at least, is
below the waters of tho Mediterranean.
He has brought the subject before tho
Geographical Society of Paris. That
body has opened a correspondence with
the Government of Tunis, and proposes a
survey of a canal route from the Gulf of
Cabes to the Lake Farnoun, and from
thenco to Lake Mel-Rhir. If this is ac
complished, and the waters of the Medi
terranean once swallow the northern edge
of this formidable desert, who can toll
where they will stop, or foresee the
strange possibilities of the project ?
Durability of Deep Sea Cable,
Tho coble recovery expedition in which
the steamer Great Eastern is now en
gaged is oocasiopally heard from. Tho
huge steamer is slowly going from New
foundland towards Ireland, picking up
and miderrunning tho ISG5 cable, tho
first one laid, raid tho one which has been
for some months silent. Almost inces
sant fogs liavo environed the vessel, se
riously interfering with the work. The
cable *lr«ndy picked np is found in good
coalition, but the locality of the fault
which j ievents (the transmission of tele
grams has not yet been accurately dis
covered. The fact that til* .cable is in
good condition, after lying so long at the
bottom of tho ses, dispels a good many
theories that have been advanced in ref
erence to its probable corrosion. On this
subject the London Standard mention*
that the cable between Dover and Calais,
across the English Channel, has been laid
twenty-two years, and is still in good
order, oJ |hat a piece of cable that had
been snl>m«rg-d fifteen years in tho Med
iterranean was rescptly taken up, and
found to be in sound condition, and has
boen since used elsewhere.

A Maconinn on Ills Travels.
» Livxrpool, August £0,1873.
Deab Fbiend—Onmy arrival last night
night from London, I found your favor of
the 3d. Many thanks lor it. It contained
more news than any letter I havereceivcd.
Wo made rather a lusty trip to the Conti
nent- We were afraid to go fnrsouthon ac
count of the heat, and there were many
places we could not visit on account of
the cholera. After we saw London and
Paris other places failed to come up to
our expectations.
I was more pleased with Paris than any
place we have visited. They have a cir
cular painting there representing the
seige of Paris hy the Prussians, which is
the most life-like picture that I ever saw.
I connqt describe it here. It would take
weeks to see all pictures In the Louvre
and other galleries. I know you would
be delighted at the sight. I visited the
china manufactory at Sevres, und saw
numbers of plates at 870 each; small setts
at $£000. The manufacture of Gobelin
carpets by the government was another
great curiosity. I saw them making car
pets by hand, as perfect as a painting,
and some* of them requires ten years to
complete. They are never sold, but are
used by tho rulers, and presents ore made
of them to the nobility. The streets of
Paris are very wide ana long, with beau
tiful rows of shade trees. The houses
are uniform—look os if they were all
built of tho same material and on the
same plan. The park* are large and tho
drives are beautiful, bat we do not see
the many signs of wealth we do about
London. The frequent revolutions have
been disastrous to the wealthy, aud they
are expecting another at any time. The
indications now are that de Chombord
will be the next target. Prince Napoleon
is at a ipjlitary school in England, and is
about 17 years -,f jigc. The name of Na
poleon is a tower of rtrajiffjji, find if he
acts prudently I do not think it >111 be
many years before he will be in power.

the French are recovering. We spent

A Bishop’s Retort,
It is related of tho late Biahop of Win
chester, as an lUustratiwi of hi. ready
wit, that some years, ago, when visiting
at the country seat of a well-known noble-
man, tho ^sliop allowed himself to bo
persuaded to join a shooting party. On
his return, his noble host mentioned that
his gamekeeper was a Dissenter, and al
though he did not wish to interfere in the
religious opinions of his employes, still,
as all the rest of tho servants went to
church, he should like this man to go.
Would the Bishop speak to him ? If ho
used bis weU-known persuasive power,
doubtless he might overcome, tho scruples
of the keeper as to entering a church.
The Bishop exprearod himself delighted
with the request, and proceeded at once
to tho keeper’s cottage. Entering with
his usual frank and kindly greeting
which few could resist, ho soon establish
ed himself in the good graces of his
humble host, and gradually led the con
versation to spiritual matters. At length,
when lie thought he had snfficiently
gainod tho confidence: of the man, his
lordship said, “ By-the-by, how is it that
I don’t see you at church ? You know it
is our duty to look after these things.
Surely you don’t see anything in the
Bible against going to church f” “ No,
my lord, neither do I see anything in the
Bible to warrant a preacher of the Gospel
in going out shooting; the Apostles
never did.” “No,” replied tho ready-
witted Bishop; “ true, they had no game
in Palestine in those days—they went
out fishing instead.”

preciation in the value of real estate in
New York recently. The total tax as
ment of the twoniy-two wards of that
city for the present year is ?83G,G93,380,
against $797,148,655, last year. The a;
gregate increase in tho valuation of real
estate for the four years from 1870 to
1873 was $152,500,000, or an average of
$38,125,000 per year, while tho aggregate
increase for the preceding four years,
from ISOGto 1869, was $257,000,000, or
an average of $64,250,000 per year, show
ing that the average increase for tho last
four years was $20,175,000 less per year

A hanging garden of sponge is one of
the latest novelties in gardening. Take
a white sponge of large size, and sow it
full of rice, oats or wheat. Then place
it for a week or ten days in a shallow
dish, and as the sponge will absorb the
moisture, the ■seeds will begin to sprout
before many days. When this has fairly
taken place the sponge may be suspended
by means of cords from a hook in the top
of the window, where a little sun will en
ter. It will thus become one living mass
of green, requiring a little moisture occa
sionally.
The Cambridge (England) university
examinations for women, this year, were
attended by 220, against 154, last year,
and 127 the year before. The failures to
pass the examination by reason of a defi
cient knowledge of arithmetic were fewer
than last year. In general mathematics
a “first class” was o- tained for the firs
time; and the study of Italian, hitherto
neglected, is beginning to receive some
attention. A “first class” in the natural
science group of studies has also been ob
tained for the first time.
