THE PARIS EXPOSITION
Limitation of the Tlroa In Which Artl
fl" May b Kntcrcd.
J. C. Derby, United States Agent, has re
cently received official information from Paris,
that on tlie 2'.Uh of March the regularly ap
pointed officers of the Paris Exposition having
the matter in charge, Mill proceed to a general
inspection, and will prepare a list of exhibitors
wlio-se stalls shall not have been completely
finished and furnished with products at that
time. Kxhibitors who have then failed to
avail themselves of the opportunity afforded
them, will not be permitted to compete for
prizes. This regulation lias been made because
all means of access and transportation are now
at the disposal of the exhibitors, and also 1m
ennse complaint lias been made that in pre
vious exhibitions certain exhibitors have de
layed sending in their products beyond the
day of opening, either through negligence
or for the purpose of presenting to the jury
products the most recently unpacked, and in
the most advantageous aspect.
A Curloua Cftrrpnnilmr A Chang of
Political Opinions.
General O. I?. Wilcox, who was nominated
by the President to be a Colonel in the Regu
lar Army, finding that his continuation was
opposed by the radical Senators from Michi
gan, wrote one of them the following letter:
Washington. IX C, February 22, 1807. Hon.
J. M. Howard, United Stales hoimle .senator:
1 liave tlie honor to explain tliai I have been
broiiuhl up In the military service over twenty
ut ol twenty-four years, Including my ciulol
ship (lor which I wits lin.cliteil to your favor),
j hat h-Ht summer, while in civil lire, and not
expect n to ri-cnter tlie service. Induced by
a Hutu it's fi ellnjj ot rnitKiiuiiiinky towards con
quered foes. I lavored conciliatory measures,
hut that time and observation have tnuirlit me
my mistake, and that, now military measures
nie nect .snry In the South, until those rebel
lion pi ople completely ticijulesce In the terms
imposed by t'oncress lor restoration.
My pri Kent position is best dcllned by Mnjor
Geiiernl Georee II. Thomas' letter recently pub
lish' d. and in his views I raot heartily coucur.
Very respectfully, your ob't servant,
O. n. Wilcox.
lie also opened negotiations which procured
the following indorsement:
Washington, February 22, 1SG7. Dear Sir
General O. H. W ilcox has called upon us and
urged us very Btrougly to recommended his con.
Urination as Colonel in the Regular army. He
has assured us that ho is satlstied that he had
made a great mistake in connecting himself
with the party Inaugurated at I'hlladelphia ou
the 4th of August last, and that he is satlstied
that Mr. Johnson's reconstruction ollcy is
wioug, and that he is now a warm supporter of
the C'H)r ssionnl policy. He also slates that
his principal object in rcsiKUinx his position as
Assessor of tlie Ki'st lst rletaiid taking a posi
tion In the army was to discontinue his connec
tion wlln the Johnson movement.
He further states that in his professional
din ract eras an otllceroi the army, lie ahall endea
vor in good faith tocarry out the Congressional
policy of reconstruction of the Kebel States.
Relying upon these statements and the earnest
professions of General W 11 -ox, we are of opinion
that bis nomination lor a colonelcy, now pend
ing in the Senate, had butter bo confirmed.

Assault with an Axe by a Wronged
Husband.
From the Hartford 1'ost, March 12.
On Saturday afternoon last Morris Shields,
of this city, went to New Haven to visit his
friends, Mr. and Mrs. William Hogan. The
latter family seemed very glad to see him, and
treated lreely to whisky, over which all got
pretty rueriy. Then some business called Mr.
Hogun out for a time, and on returning he
found his wife in the arms of Mr. shield.
Enraged at the sisht ot this, he seized an axe
near by, and rushed upon the parties, dealing
Shields a powerlul blow with the back of the
axe ou the back of his head, causing a horrible
flesh wound, about five inches long, and cutting
into au artery. He continued to strike with
the axe, hittina Shields the second time on the
forearm ot his rmht arm, causing a bad eash,
and hnthipr him th: third time on one of his
hands, which he held up to protect hi head.
He also dealt Mrs. Hogan a blow, producing a
slight wound. Shields' cries broueht help to
the house, and all the parties were taken by the
Police to the Station, where Shields' wounds
were dressed, after which he was taken to the
residence of his brother. He was very weak
from the lo9s of blood, and It is not unlikely
will die of his injuries. Hogan was committed
to jail to await the result, and his wife was
locked up on a charge of drunkenness.

Stealino Thirty Dollars' Worth of Fenniks.
A man named John Weaver was arrested
this morning for stealing thirty dollars iu
pennies. It seems that Weaver had beeu fol
lowing a snap wagon, driven by oue Patrick
McClusky, for the purpose of appropriating a
box of pennies which lie knew was under I ho
seat. Tlie wagon stopped before a soap factory
(Cooke's) in llace street, above Second, and tho
driver wont in on business. Just as soon as he
had disappeared Weaver tan un to the wagon,
got hold of the box, and was making on", wuan
he was discovered by a policeman, who arrested
him. Alderman Williams committed Weaver
iu default of 8iQQ ball.
Assaulting an Officer. Yesterday morn
ing Officer Hessobsorved a crowd of young men
obstructing the sidewalk at the corner of Fifth
and Hut ton wood streets. Seeing that they
showed no disposition to move on, he spoke to
them, and told them to do so. One of the party
answered back In a very insulting manner,
giving the ofheer permission to go to a very
warm place. The officer then attempted to ar
rest him, but in doing so.it is alleged, he was
knocked down and kleked by a man named
Kdward Aschenback. The latter was arrested
for the ollcnse, und had a hearing before Alder
man Toland, who, utter :hearing the facts of
the case, held him in SSiH) hall to answer.
War of the Racks. John McCain is a small
specimen of humanity, lately imported, but Is
endowed with a most Irascible temperament,
having a propeuslty, when excited, to knock
down everybody and ever3-thing. This morn
ing! being a cold one, John got into a warm and
angry discussion with a negro named White,
ou the South street wharf. He assorted vehe
mently that the latter was a ''baste, and not a
nion," and this being refuted in the same spirit
John entoied upon a knock-flown argument,
which lasted some time. For this lie was
arrested, and Alderman Butler held him to
appear at Court.
Street-Walkers Sent Below. A number
of the nightly perambulators of the region Im
mediately around Washington Square were
arrested last night, at a very late hoar. Unde
terred by the weather.these nuisances to society
continue their evening walks in that neighbor
hood, and the police are making energetic
ellbrta to put a stop to their operations. Hardly
a night passes but several are arrested and sent
below. The party who were taken into custody
last night had a hearing before Alderman liut
ler. and were furnished lodgings at Moyamon-
sing Prison for the next thirty days.

Rpkk FortTY Ykarm Old. A letter front
Stockholm says: "At the last meeting of tho
Iiluu Society there was served at supper a
curious sort of beef that had been preserved
for forty years. In 1827 Captain Parry had
placed at School Point, at Spitsbergen, a depot
of meat. The flesh was in tin boxes, burtod
lieneath a quantity of stones. The whito
bears had displaced some of the stones and
destroyed several of the boxes, but a few still
remained intact, and were brought to bwedea
by tho Swedish scientific expedition. It was
one of these boxes that Professor Phoreil, of
Lund, had given to the Idun Society, wh
found the meat perfectly eatable and of good
flavor."
Death krom Rki.iiiiophI'Ixcitkmknt. A Corn
wall (Kugland) paper reports the death of a
poor woman, aged forty-seven years, the wifa
of a farm laborer, from religious excitement.
A short time ago she was converted at a re
vival meeting held in the Wesleyan Chapel.
The excitement produced a desponding state
of mind and concern for her soul, which ended
in lunacy. When a physician was called to
see her, he found her in too exhausted a state)
to be removed, and alter an obstinate refusal
to take food for twenty -one days, she died of
starvation.
Fools. The King of Persia once ordered hi
vizier to make out a list of all the fools in his
dominions. He did so, and put his Majesty's
name at the head of them. The King asked
him why, to which he immediately answered,
"Because you entrusted u lac of rupees to men
you don't know to buy horses for you a thou
sand miles off, and who'll never come back."
"Ay, but suppose they come back ?" "Them
I shall erase your name and insert theirs."
Suicide. The Italian journals announce
that M. Girolamo Scola, proprietor of the cele
brated Ville del Oalcotto, near Leooo, on th
Lake of Como, and possessor of an immense
fortune, has just blown out his brains. ,The
cause is attributed to grief at having lost a
small sum of money. When, after his death,
the authorities came to make an examination
of his house, they found there upwards of two
hundred thousand francs in gold.
