The Churches and the fPorshippers of Paris. The Tallowing interesting scrap.is from a Paris letter in the Madisonian: "Said a resident iind intelligent- English man to me the other day, “the French arc nil infidels—at least all that 1 have known.”— And yet,judging from, the number;of churches here, one would think that 11/e Parisians at .least are the most religious people in Chris tendom; In my frequent walks 1 scarce wandecinto any considerable street, but i find some dingy old church ol the 11th, 12lh, 14th or 16th century. lam persuaded that ivo hqve hot in America a city containing, in the proportion of its inhabitants, more churches than Paris.

None of the many fine old churches in Paris has pleased ine so much as the St. Sulpice. /None, with the exception of the Notre Dame, seems to have been planned and executed with so much re gard to grandeur-and imposing effect. The first stone was laid by Anne of Austria, in 1’646.- It is 336 fectJong, by about 200 in width. • The height of its towers is 810 fee’t. The portico is famous for its imposing beau ty;'it is composed of doric columris-40 feet high, supporting a gallery and colonade of the doric order, with columns 39,feet high, and above- the whole a balustrade. -The chief altar .between the nave and the choir is grand and majestic. The choir is orna mented with statuesef the twelve Apostles. Two enormous Shells, presented to Francis the Ist by the Republic of Venice, aie used as reservoirs of holy water. Within the choir is a most splendid chapel and beautiful statue of : the Virgin, who, by the magic effect of a mysterious light, appears to the specta tor as if'standing upon distant rocks, as it ~might be-upon.the heights of Bethlehem, with the infant Saviour in her arms.

From Kendall’s Expositor, TARIFF TAXATION. ■ DIALOGUE BETWEEN TWO FARMERS. , Farmer Smith.—Neighbor Joncs.you.nrc always talking about the tax that Congress has imposed on us by the bill increasing the duties on goods brought from foreign parts. I am sure I pay no tax to the government at Washington. .' Farmer Jones.—You _ don’t! Don’t you use salt in your family, and give it to your cattle? Fan S.—Certainly; but I don’t pay any tax on that. Far. J.—You do indeed:. The government fakes from you one bushel out ot every six, or makes you ■ pay for five bushels as much money as would buy six, if there was no Tariff, and a little more. Far. S.—l don’t understand, that; please' to explain. Far. J.—The Tariff imposes a tax of twen ty per cent, ori all the salt brought into the Country, which the Government makes the merchant pay. to its collectors in the "cities. On every five bushels he-lands, from the ships, the Government makes him pay as much as one bushel is worth. That increa-, ses.the cost to him one fifth. . When life goes to sell it to the Farmers, he adds what he ; pays the Government to the price, and so makes the Pamirs pay-il back to hiiii. Do 4 you understand that? Far. S. —I think I do. If the merchant pays a dollar for two bushels, the Govern ment makes him pay twenty cents to the Collector, and when he comes to sell it to us, he makes us pay him a dollar and twen ty Cents, for-the two bushels. Far. J.—Exactly—that is the principle,' but the practical effect is worse than that.— The merchant, you know, must have his profit,on, all the money he pays out for the salt, whether to the maker,*,the importer, or profif-tu the twenty cents paid for duty, as ho-d'oes to thc'qne dollar paid for the salt.r- I f hisi profit be -twenty per cent, it amounts to four cents on did duty, so that for every twenty cenfs the merchant pays the Govern ment, the Farmer pays twenty four cents to the merchant. ' . , Far. S.—Yes, yes, I see it now. Butmuch of the salt we'buyris made inrthis-countty," and they don’t lax us on that. . v , Far,-J.—lt is all the. same, thing.. The. same tax which compels the importing merch ants to raise the price”of the salt that cotncs from abroad twenty four cents on every dol lar’s worth, enables the maker of salt at home to increase, the price pi his salt twenty four cents on the dollars worth also. Far. S.—l see that, but itjUoh’t go to the Government. , Far. J.^-Whom dnea-Wgono? Far. S.—To .the salt(maker, I suppose. Far. J;—Exactly so. "And in that way, the Tariff makes the Farmer pay to the salt maker twenty four per cent, more on every dollar’s worth of salt bought of him; than he would have to pay if there was no Tariff - at all. Far. S.—Mr. Clay says this is to protect home industry. Far. J.—Does that law protect your indus try or mine, or that of any other Farmer, Mechanic or day laborer. Which compels us to give twerily four per cent, more, for our salt than we would hare to give if there was no Tariff at all? ' Far. S.-—Well, well, I have never thought of this thing before; I will go home and think' about it, and then talk with you again. LATER FROM CANTON—THE CITY RANSOMED.
