THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
TbacVcraj speaks of a place In Ireland where
tho urnse of elegunce was no keen that tho scr
Tant brought up the coa s for the parlor grate
on a clean plate. 1 am to change the subject
constantly reminded of this experience of the
author ef the Irish 6ketcu Book, when looking
at the cafes In the Exposition. In America we
know tolerably well what a safe should be.
With our pleasant practice ef burning up every
thing once a jcur, it has been forced upon us to
study the matter of security. We have done so
practically having the tire at hand and sue"
cessfully, Inasmuch as safe are in universal use
In every part of the United Btales. As a rale
they are solid, angular objects, plainly painted
green, and Indicating strength rather tban
beauty. A lew, lo be sure, have been made lor
parlor use, and these are gay and brilliant In
decoration, but they do not alter ma'erially the
broad deflitttion. A broker, merchant, or store"
keeper procures one of our preen frie n is, and
it stands quietly and faithfully in the corner, a
Mlent sentinel, reoiy to perform its duties on
the shortest notice. This simplicity of outward
show does not seem to be acceptable to the
tastes of Europe. Pome of the most extra
ordinary objects in the Exhibition are called
Bates. They are constructed iu the most fanciful
way, nud are filled with singular contrivances
for doing nothing. Externally tbcy'glUten and
glitter in the sun like gems, being polished and
burnished with all the care that is usually be'
stowed on the latter. The effect is pretty enough,
but it seems superfluous in an nhject of absolute
utility. There is a safe in the French Depart
ment which has a sheet of lookioe-glass in front
a matter of vast convenience to the clerks, no
doubt, but of very little utility in case of lire
The interior Is sub-divided into an inQuito mini
ber of boxes, pliieon-holes, drawers, trays,
secret recesses, etc. I can easily imagine a poor
disconsolate $1000 bill being lost in such a mad
dening labyrinth.
The blRtory of safes only extends over a period
of forty years. There are many who still re
member the old-fashioned "know chests," as
they were called. They were simple wooden
box s, covered firot with thin sheet-iron, then
banded and strapped, and the whole made fast
with large knobby nails, in imitation of the
rivet-heads of a boiler. The wood with which
these chests were constructed was' submitted to
a chemical process. It was naturatcd or soaked
in salt water, or brine, and so long as the mois
ture was retained, served as a good non-conductor.
The fibre charred instead of isrniting
and combustion proceeded slowly. It was found,
however, in the course of time, that saturation
produced decay, and, iu the lapse of a few years,
the wood became a mass of dry rot, exceedingly
liable to take fire of i's own accord, or from the
slightest external circumstances. Something
different had, therefore, to be discovered. It was
speedily but accidental hj found in the materia'
called plaster of Paris, f be accldeut was In this
wise A young mechanic, who had been en
gaged in making moulds of casts with plaster of
Paris, hiving finished his labors, was preparing
to "wash up" and go home. For this purpose
be attempted to beat some water in a kettle
wherein previously he had mixed his plaster
After stirring the firo impatiently on several oc
casions, he was surprised to find that the water
did not get warm with its accustomed rapidity
and a further inspection showed that the kettle
contained the debris of hiB plaster castings'
Upon tbrowiug them out, the difficulty was
immediately obviated, and the Idea of the non.
conducting power of plaster of Purls was con
ceived. Its application as a filling for safes
followed almost Immediately, but several years
elapsed before anything like succe-ss was at
tained. The calcined plaster was of no use. as a
fire-proof cement, unless mixed with water, and
the water made the Interior of the. safe moist,
and so mildewed and destroyed the books and
papers, oxydized the iron, and laid the founda
tion for an early and certain decay. Premiums
were then offered for fire-proof fillings, and tho
result has been a steady and constant improve
ment in fire-proot protectors, when properly
made. Water Is still an element used In fillings,
even when called dry fillings; but it does no .
evaporate or lose any of its qualities until at
tacked by the fire. It is unaffected by the heat,
or the atmosphere, or the temperature of the
room in which it is kept.
There is but one American safe in the Exposi
tion, but it is creating more discussion than all
the others put together. I am ULder the Im
pression that It will take the prize; at all event
it deserves the most marked consideration
And, indeed, Mr. Silas C. Herring, whoae houses
are situated at New York, Philadelphia, New
Orleans, and Chicago, is determined that it shall
have the most marked consideration. Mr. Her
ring, I need scarcely add, is the manufacturer.
His name Is well known in this branch of In
dustry. 80 long ago as 1840 it came prominently
before the public. In that year a great trial of
safes tooK place at Coffee-house-slip, foot of
Wall street, New York, in which all the leading
fire-proof safes then climbing into popularity
were destroyed, save the Salamander Safe, with
which Mr. Herring was associated. Since then
Mr. Herring has devoted himself exclusively to
the businebS. lhe manufacture, which in the
year I have named occupied a dozen men,
now gives employment to more than three
hundred. Mr. Herring does not think that
the lury had made a suflieieLt examination
of the various safes in the building, and
he is perhaps a little irritated at the effect
which mere external work seems to have on the
public mind. At all events be desires a furtuer
test, and bas affably proposed to make an inter
national bonfire of their safes in competition
with his own. He Is willing to stake from one
to fifty thousand francs on the result. This is
"toeing the mark'' in true Yankee fashion; but
It is not all. A safe in thee days is a protec
tion, not only against fires, butaeainst burglars.
Mr. Herring therefore proposes, for a like sum,
to subject his burglar-proof sate to a test by
experts, in comparison with any suie now ex
hibited at the Exposition.
Hucc the lorego!ng appeared iu print, the
following appeured uthe telegraph news from
Euiope:
Trance The Trial of Safes in Paris.
Paris, Oct. 10. The competition between the
English and American safe manufacturers has
resulted in the success or tho utter. The Jury

of England. The money will be given to

enc he exerted while herc In memory of his
Christ Inn character, his constaot friendship,
and his worth the Young Men's Christian As
snciatiiui, of which lie was the Heoond Presi
dent, called to a souvenir meeting all who
honored his mem.ry. Last evening it took
place. Horticultural Hall had not left to Itself
a vacant seat, or hardly BUndlng room. A
vast RRscnihlago It was numbering, perhaps,
three thousand who came to give by their
presence exhibition ol sympathy, and a re
cognition of the true value of liiiri who but
lately mingled with them. The si age reserved
for the members of the Association wns filled;
the galleries were thronged; the body ot the
house was one vast ea of upturned faces. There
wa-a solemnity manifest which could not but
Impress the stranger entering t he hall.
At the appointed hour tne exerolsos wero
commenced with the singing of a dirge like
hymn by the Washington Square choir, who
bnd kindly volunteered their services.
Ittv. E. H. Jteadie, I). J)., rend portions of
the Scriptures, lollowing whlcii prayer was
otlered by i'etcr 13. Slmous, Esq., rresiUcnt of
the Association.
A hymn, in which the great couureirutlon
Joined, was then tiing,:coiniiieuciiiu with :
"Servant of (lod. well done!
Thy glorious warfare's past!
The buttles fought, the race is won.
And thou art crowu'd at last!"
Tho President of the Agsociutlon addressed
the meet ina as follows: We have come to-nli;ht
tu consider one of those manifestations of Pro
vidence winch are bo mysterious in their
workincs. Put a few weeks ngo we followed to
the tomb all that, was earthly of our depuited
brother, who has departed for; that better and
bilfhter world. He was one who loved his
Kavlour, who labored lor Ills cause. Evtry where
be served his glorified Master, and proclaimed
himself a soluier of the cross. The last time
that 1 heard him speak In public was during
this last Mimmor, when, standing in the midst
of a threat congregation In Montreal, he pro
claimed: "The heart that is consecrated to
Christ is the only power I hat is needed to carry
on this work." Cieorue Cookman is gonel We
shall clasp Ills hand and see bis smiling face no
more, but the influence of those words are as
imperishable as truth itself! It was truth.
Nothing is necessary but a heart consecrated to
Christ. As we go down the valley of the-shadow
of death Is It not reasonable that we should
raise our hands and implore our heavenly
Father tbat,ail which was lovely and beautiful
and f lorlous in his character might bo ours to
Eosstos; that we might be enabled to follow
im even as be followed Christ?
Hear friends, it is a solemn thing to die; but
yet it Is a more solemn thing to live. To the
young men present to-night, let this truth be
impressed upon their hearts. If it is a solemn
thing to battle with the realities of death, it is
still a more Koleinu thing to live; because tho
life you live Is the preparation you make for
that. lourrey through the valley of the shadow
of death. Oh I then let us pray lrom our hearts
to-night that our lives may be ins Christ inn
life; that we may emulate his noble example;
upuwbenwego down to that gloomy valley,
may it be illumined by the holy light which
Christ sheds: then we can say, "Oil death,
where is thy. victory t O grave, where is thy
stins !" Blessed be Uod that glveth the victory
through our Lord JeBtis Christ.
George W Mears bolng next called upon, said
that In culling up the memories of tho past, he
remembered "the inauguration of the weekly
iirajtr-meeting by a lew young men. who met
at tht-ir several houses in theyeais 1 80S and iSoO.
1 1 was at one of these meetings that he had met
tht-ir departed friend. When he suug It was
with uu earueKtnt-H, and wtu-n hepruyed it was
with a fervor and yearning, as if his whole soul
went out to his Maker. Iu succeeding years ho
had met him upon the tloor of the Corn Ex
change. They were tho best of friends, and
thosb who, being members of the 'Chuni'o and
Christians, wi re di awn into ft closer fellowship
with each other. During his evory-duy life,
Cieoige Cookman, to him, obf-etv.d tho same
Christian demeanor He was a mun of great
filer dliucss, 01 wui-m-hearlei.iess, always in
humor, and Bomehow nil our lienrts weroilrawn
towards liiin. We all felt that he was 11 Christian
.nd tliut ho bore the highest title of Uod's no
blest creation uu hontM man.
Following these remarks, yiat familiar hymn
to air.Christiuus, "Kock of uges, cleft lor me,"
w as stiii.
Addresses were then made by the Kev. E. R.
lJeuule, D. Lv, and Mr. James White, who,
1 avlng long known their late brother, culled up
)lensaut instances of his past lite, of tils labor
lor Urd. of his kindness to his fellow man, of
his noble Christian character.
Mr. White said tliut, when walking to the
Hall that eveutnz, the ono thought iuipre-isod
him: "How strange it will seem lo mo that
(.loorge Cookman will not bo there!" And shall
1 be charged with emoting the territory of su
perstition, or for one moment speaking of the
realm of fancy. If I dare to give utterance to tha
tcntiment of feeling that now fills my heurt; if
I simolv sav that his sweet-robed spirit min
gles with us in this assemblage; for Is it not
said, "Are they not ministering angels, sent to
minister to those that are heirs of salvation?"
Oil! let these young Christians whom I seeubout
me stand up us he stood up, manfully battling
for their Master, Jesus.
After a short but Interesting address by
George H. Stuart, Esq., John K. Gough spoke
as follows: Home person may ask, "Why came
a stranger here? He knew him not. Why
mourns lie with us?" I do not feel myself a
stranger to any Christian man. Vrbilst sitting
here 1 have listened to the words tnit nave
been uttered to the memory of our departed
Christian brother. My heart has been touched
by lookiDg at this vast ussemuiageof young
men, who are exerting ttu influence in the
world for Christ, and I have felt thai this meet
ing, devoted as a memorial to one So upright
and worthy who has gone, will be of eminent
Kervlce to the Young Men's Christian Associa

Mr, .loll Dion on the Situation.
The AaUona' Republican of this morning con
Iimiis the following:
On Saturday a large number of gentlemen
mid ladles eallerl on the President many to
their respects. Among those on olllclal
bnslne's wa Major-Ceneral Scboflpld. A gen
tleman who had no ofllcml business with the
PreMtlent, but who, as a conservative Republi
can, merely made a friendly call, informs us
(bat be found Mr. Johnson 1n a very agreeable
mood. lie. discoursed quite freely upon the
olitical situation.
lie did not seem to be surprised by the result
of the recent elections. He referred to the fact
tbut in several of his printed speeches he had
snld thnt the people would In trood time tench
their public servants the right way; that the
i ople could be trusted, etc. Tliey otleti exhibit
11. ore wisdom, he remarked, than I'resldente,
("oneresses, or conventions.
His nttcutlon was called to an analysis of the
it cent election in Ohio, whore two great parties
presented each its ticket. Tho people looked at
them ciiscriniinstely and took the soldiers' etan-diiifl-btarer,
Hayes, of the Republican party,
thus seemingly rcbukirg the Democrats for
nominating a Vallandigharn man like Thurman,
instead of a soldier, and accepted and elected
the Legislature of the Democratic and conser
vativc party to prevent the re-election of a radi
cal like Wade, thus repudiating the two ex
tremes in politics, and then at (he same
election they buried the disturbing question of
nctjio equality beneath a majority of fifty thou
sand votes. The President listened to this state
ment, and said:- "It is a remarkable fact. It is
the lop.ic of events; It is the true lesson of tho
election, and what makes the fact still more re
markable is tliut this wonderful discrimination
was made by the people themselves at the pedis,
and that these extiaordiunry results were
obtained in the face ot the misrepresenta.

press and uj on the slump, and furthermore,
tnat the Bovermnent of the State was in the

tiou ol ISliC; looking to the Constitution lor the
preservation of the Stales, and in favor ol pure
lojalty uml a united and free country."
During this conversation the Pre-ident re
marked that he thought the le.-on taught by
the people of Ohio, as IVdlcatoJ above, was
correct, and he had been and should be guided
by it. He said tho thousand aud one repoits
get allout about what he was about to do in re
orgai izing 1 is Cabinet were unauthorized and
uutrue. Whatever he did iu that direction
would be the sutjecl ol careful thought and for
the befct interests of the public good, so lur us it
was in his power to reach such a result.
Impeachment.
The JnteHifiencer, thia morning, appears ner
vous about impeachment, having several arti
cles upon that subject. It says: "Congress U a
mere excrescence upon the body politic. It has
no clement ot nationality iu it. The radical
Congress, from the first, at its preliminary cau
cus, indecently, and in advance of the Presi
dent's Messacc, proclaimed its supremacy iu the
Government. It has ever since usurped all the
poweis of the Federal Government, threatening
to abolish both the Execut ive and the Judiciary.
from the beginning they have resorted to
military force lor the accomplishment of tbelr
purpose, in utter neglect and defiance of the
6entimente, and wishes, and interests of the
I eople of this country. The radicals will con
cede nothing they have learned nothing. They
have appealed to force, the Speakerof the Houso
threatening force. Their plan heretofore un
doubtedly comprehended tho idea of deposiug Hip
President, pending bis trial upon impeachment,
either with or without the pretext of an uucont
stitutlonal act of Congress to be passed over a
Presidential veto. They dare not now go that
length. We accordingly believe that a new ex
pedient has been proposed upon the assembllug
ol Congress. It is currently reported that a joint
resolution is to be pushed hurriedly through,
prescribing the mode and manner of trials by
impeachment, the provisions of which will
greatly simplify the process, and enable the
Senate lo get to the end of the President's trial
in a comparatively very short time."
As these remarks echo the "feeling of the Fxe-
ulive, he is evidently uueasy at the prospect
ahead.
Philadelphia Politicians.
A formidable delegation of Philadelphia Demo
cratic politicians arrived this morning, it is un
derstood for the purpose of urging the removal
ol John Miller, Kevenue Agent, and asking lor
further changes in some ot the Government olH
cials iu Philadelphia.

The following la the pastoral address which
has been adopted by the Hvnod, aud signed lndl
vlduRlly by tho Bishops:
'To the faithful in Christ Jppu?, the Priests
and Deacon", and tho Lay Member of the
Church of Chrlit in communion with the Angli
can Branch of the Church Catholic.
"We, the undersigned, Bishops, gathered
under the good providence of God lor prayer
aud conference at Lambeth, pray tor you that
ye mBy obtain gtace, mercy, and peace from
God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ our Saviour.
-We give thank to God, brethren beloved,
for the faith In our Lord Jesus Christ, and tho
love towards the saints, which hath abounded
among you; and for the knowledge of CDrist
w bich through yon bath been spread abroad
amoiig the most vigorous races of tho
earth; and with ono mouth we make our
supplications to God, even tue Father, that
by the power of the Holy Qbot he
would strengthen us with His might, to amend
among lis the things which are amis?, to supply
the things which are lackina, and to reauh lorih
unto higher measures of love and seal in wor
shipping Him, and in making known His name:
and we pray that in lln good time H" would
give back unto His whole Church the blessed
gilt of Unity and Trutb.
"And now we exhort jou In love that yo keep
whole and undefiled tho taith once delivered to
the saints as ye bHve received It of the Lord
Jesus. We cntieat jou to watch aud pray. And
to Mrive heartily with us aualnst the IrauJs and
subtleties wherewith the faith hath been afore
time and is now availed.
"Furihertiioie, we entreat you to guard your
f( Ives and yours against the growing supersti
tions and additions with which in these latter
days the truth of God hath been overlaid; as
otherwise, ro especially by the pretension to
univeisal sovercigutv over God's heritage as
serted for the bee of l.oiiie, and by the practical
ealtation of the blessed Virgin Mary as a
mediator In the place of her Divine Sou, and by
the addressing of prajers to her as intercesoor
between God and man. Of such beare, we
beseech you, knowing that the jealous God
giveth not His honor to another.
"Build jourstlves up, therefore, beloved, In
your most holy laith; grow in grace aad in tho
knowledge and love of Jcrus Christ our Lord,
bhow forth before all men by your faith, self
denial, purity, and godly conversation as well
as by your labors for the people among whom
God has so wipely Bread you, and by the settiug
forth ot His Gospel to tie unbelievers an J the
heathen, that ye are indeed the servants of Him
who died ior us to reconcile His Father to us,
and to be a sacrifice for the fcins of the wboic
woild.
"Brethren beloved, with one voice we warn
you; the time is chort; the Lord coincth; watch
and he sober. Abide steadlast in the commu
nion of saints, wherein God hath granted you a
place. Seek in iaith lor oucrjess with Christ
in the Weised Sacrament of His body
and blood. Hold lint the creeds and the
jure worship and order, which of God's
grace ye have inherited from the primi
tive Church. Beware of causing divisions con
trary to the doctrine e have received. Fray
and setk ior unity among yourt-clves, and
among all the laithtul in Christ Jesus, and the
cod Lord make jou perfect, and keep your
bcclies. souls, and sfilitts, until the coming of
the Lord .lesu? Christ."

from Scotland, lust week, fur the purpose, we
aie lufoimcd, ot showing ho pitality to the
Bishops (('specially to the 'American Bishops)

however, were cut short by the arrival of the
melancholy tidincs of the sudden and unex
pected death of Sir Fiederiek Bruce (Lady Att

The Conference sat with, cloned doors, and it Is
said that the Dean aud Chapter did not wish,

OBITUARY.
Levi SUIImau Ivca, D. I), D,
Levi Sillimau Ives, formerly Bishop of lhe
'rotettant Episcopal Clnireh of North Carolina.
aud widely known for his religious wriiiuas,
philanthropic works, and conversion to the
ltcnuin Catholic laitb, died at bis residence at
Munhattanville, at two o'clock yesterday alter;
aj'ivu, iu kuc tcvt'iiiy-ursi year ui ilia age.
Mr. Ives was born In Meridien, Conn., on the
10th of September, 17'.7. At an early age he
removed, wun nis parents, to Lewis county, N.
Y.; where be lived until he attained his filtecnth
j ear, when he was sent to the Academy at Low
ville. During the last months of the war with
Great Britain he served in the army, but upon
the return ot peace went back to school, enter- I
ing Hamilton College in 1816. At tirst he
studied lor the ruinUtry of the Presbyterian
t. uurcu; dui oeiore ue was oraained illness com
pelled him to leave the college, and upon his
recovery to health his religious views became
changed and he allied himself with the Pro
testant Episcopal denomination.
In 1820 he lemoved to New York, where he
f-tudied theology under Bishop Hobart, who or
dained him in August, 1822. Three years later
(182..) he married Rebecca, a daughter of the
Bishop. Alter his ordination his tirst mission
was to tfatavia, (Jenessee county; subsequently
he look charge ot Trinity church, in Pbiladel-
ui. wuere ne was oruaiued to the priesthood
y Bishop White, and In 1827 removed to Lan
caster. Pa., and officiated at Christ Church.
utiring tne next year he returned to isew York,
aud served as assistant minister at Christ
Church for about six months, when he became
rt ctor of St. Luke's iu this city. Here he re
mained until he was consecrated Bishop of
X-,.-.l. In lQ'ti
-.uvl vulwiiun, si au.ja.
While in North Carolina he became aulte
popular lor bis efforts in behalf of education
and his success in providing for the spiritual
welfare ol the slaves. He also became widely
known as a theological author from his works
m the "Apostles' Doctrine and Fellowship" and
the "Obedience of Faitb," published in New
York iu 184'J. When tho excitement ou tie
Oxtorri tracts broke out in the episcopal Church
he strongly sided with the tractarian movemeut
aud this position caused his alienation from his
diocese. The fact was tbat he had doubted the
liuth of the Protestant faith for a long time, and
la 1852, while on a vinit to Rome, openly re
nounced his laith and was admitted to tho
Catholic Church.
This conversion on his part was severely de
nounced by the Protestant religious papers ia
lhe United States, and upon his return he de
fended the act in a worn; entitlod "The Trials
of a Mind in its Protressto Catholicism." (Lou
(in and Boston, 1801.) After his return to
America he became Professor of Rhetoric in
St. Joseph Theoloclcal Seminary, aud lectured
iu the convents of the Sacred Heart and the
Sisters of Charity. He also occasionally lec
tured in public, and served as an active Presi
dent of a conference of St. Vincent de Piul,
About ten years ago he conceived the idea of
founding a home in this city for vagrant aud
oipban children of Catholic, parentage; aud
having obtained the approval of Archbishop
Hughes, set energetically to work to carry out
hi designs.
The result of his philanthropic labors was the
establishment of the Catholic Mile Protectory
and the House of the Holy Angels, two of the
most deserving charitable institutions in this
State. They were brst located in New York,
but were arterwaias removed to wesicnostcr
county, where thev are now iu operation. Both
were under the charge and direction of tho
Society for the Protection of Destitute Cathullo
Children, of which the deceased was President
from lis incorporation to his death. Dr. Ives
was a very able gentleman and eloquent speaker,
and, bis death will be much lamented by our
