Ho is a congenial levelcr; lie holils that no man can bo tnoro than man, and that moat men arc much lew. lie habitually speaks or the Czar of all tho Itussians as Aleck Romanoff tho Emperor of Germany as Olil Dutch Dill; of tho Popd ofRoniBOsan ancient iluffer. In his eyes tortus lire puerilities, and ctiquctto a sham. There is not a grain of hero-worship in his composition; ho would not Hatter Ncptuno for his trident, nor Jovo for Ii is power to thunder. He would ask the Sultan of Tur key for a chew of tobacco; ho w'o'uld invito the Grand Llama W a game of draw-poker. Several years before Chief Justice Taney's death tho Government Prinlini; Office at Washington ha 1 occasion to send him some proof-slips of an important decision, and tlicy wore intrusted tu a printer's boy, who appeared at tho Judge's ofliccand before tho Judge with, "la Tniicy in?" " I presume you wish to sco tho Chief Justice of the United States, " I don't care a cuss about him. I'vo got some proofs for Taney." " I am the Hon. Roger B. Taney." " You're Tnncy, aren't you?" " I am not, fellow. I am the Hon. Roger B. Taney." "Then the proofs tire not for you," 'and tho unceremonious messenger would havo gone off with tlieiu if the Judge hud not ad mitted himself to be Taney limply. On a certain occasion Edward Evcrclt visited tho composing-room of tho Boston ltecrft'scr nt a lato hour to read a proof of an oration which he had failed lo sco at an earlier hour. Extremely particular about hia style, ho waj altering sentences and making additions whilo tho forms were waiting, which so irritated Ihe foreman that ho roared out, "Cut it shoit, Everett confound it, cut it shoit; there's no time now for patching up bad English." New Orleans, not long7"go; was afflicted with nno Williams, a newspaper bore lie was known, typographically, as the Great Artesian who was constantly' sending poor articles tn tho dailies, and haunting Iho offices lo inquiie il'tlicy bad been used. Ho went into tho office of tho J'icayune in llio morning, nobody being present but a com positor, rattier muddled from drink over night, who had taken jiosscssiou of ono of the desks, " Is the editor in?" "I an swer to that name," replied tho typo; who was very exact and deliber ate of speech, and who recognized tho bore at once. "May I be per tnit-tcd to in quire tho nature of your busi ness?" " I want to know If an clnborato poem of mine, entitled "Tho Rose of tho South," has been accepted." " Mis-tcr Will-iams,nl-low mo tosay Hint when I first saw you I formed the impres sion that you were a onn-suminut; ass; ard although I havo met you sinco on n great many oe-cas-sions and under a va-ri-e-ty of cir-cuui stan-ces, I havo ncv-cr seen any thing in you conduct to cause mo to change the o-pitt-iim which I then formed. Good morn-iiig, Mis-ter Will-iams." From that day Mr. Williams ccaed toin fesl (he oflice of tho.PicutHnr, in which, after this incidctft, he was called tho Artesian Unwell. A typo n ho has made sotneBbsunl Uurfdcr in Savuiiilah will learn, on entering nil orfico in Milwaukee, that his blunder has preceded lilth. Some ludicroij incident ot which he is (ho subject, or object; will cross the continent almost as rapidly ns ho can. A good thing on him, as it is styled, will take up its residence in the news-rooms of every large city, mid rcfuso to be expelled. He can not put a quietus uponhij mistakes, cither professional or ienninnl. They will confront him agttiu and ugaiiiat unexpected bcasons and in oul-of thc-way placei; In a printing nffice all days are judgment days; printers ore condemned rcwatcdly for tho same offense, and each time punished with new tortures. At first they nro goaded nearly to fienry by this worthless Htfr'lion; but they get ued to it, as eels are presumed togetusedtobeingskinneil. Atlast they at sumo to bo callous, and to seem callous is to cripplo criticism. I have known sensitive youth to suffer terribly in their typographical Initiation, ond to be obliged, niter heroic en durance, to relinquish nil avocation in which the bed of Procrustes is so'unrciiiittlngly em ployed. I havo an instanco still vivid In my mind. A young printer had come to tho city from an interior town, and a take" of n critique j i nan written on fcuwiti Booth's "Hamlet" leu to ins lot. ine "melancholy Dane" oc curring in a sentence, ho set it the "melan choly Dave," and, by oversight of tho proof, reader, so It appeared in the morning issue. Tho error, which hud occurred by a " v" getting into tho "n" box, was no indication of Ins intelligence, but it was too ludicrous to jiass unnoticed. When the unfortunate wlght entered tho roniaising-room tho next day, ho was greet ed with, "Here comes Dave Hamlet!" " How nre you Dave?" " I don't care much for Booth's Hamlet. Dura namletittbo man for my money." " This evening will bo presented tho sublimo tragedy of 'David Hamlet, Juu.' " " Conundrum! Why (lid Hamlet kill his uncle? Bemuse ho called him Dave, Ver dict of tho jury: Served him right," " Hamlet was tho Prince of Dunkirk ; Davo Hamlet was a bully boy with a glass eye." " David; thou art the man!" cte. The poof typo turned crimson, and then pale, and, as the railery went on, ho attempt ed to explain, which caused it to increase. Finally some impof tho "stick" burst out into impromptu doggerel: Come, toll us a story, or sing us a slave About the pensive, piping, princely Dave; Do not fret nor swear; never rave, If you nro my boy; the melancholy Dave: Tho persecuted could stand plain prose, but wretched rliymo was moro than ho could bear. He assaulted tho rhymester and an encounter ensiled, In which " Dave" was worscd. During that week ho had six fisticuffs; then he threw up his situation and lo ' tnwn, In hopo of escaping tho jeers at his expense. He never did escape, poor fellow. Tho melancholy Davo proved to bo tho ghost of h's father's son. It followed him from city to city, from news-room to uews-room ; it drove linn to drink, delirium and tho grave. His death was tho immcdiato resultof tho wrong letter in the right bo. CA.MI JIEETIXOT HOW Ittr.V OIUOIXATF.D IX AMERICA. Tho fust camp-meeting in tho United Stale3 was held in 17C3, in ICeiitucky; on tho banks of Rod liver. Two brothers named McGee, ono a Freabyterian minister and the other a Melhodist, were on a relig ious tour from a Tennesseo town,whcro tho Methodist brother was settled, to a placo called the " Tho Barrens," in Ohio. Arriv ing at a town on the Red river, they stopped to attend a sacramental service with a Pres byterian clergyman named McGrcedy. John McGee, tho Methodist, was invited to preach first, and did so, with unusual power and effect. His brother and" rinothcr Presbyterian minister followed him with sermons, which also proved of great clhYct. Tears flowed from many eyes, and shouts of joy weio heard from all parts of the house, Three of the Presbyterian ministers left tho church, but the McGee brothers felt them selves too powerfully affected to leave under circumstances of so much interest. John McGeo was expected to preach a s6cond ser mon, but when the time came he arose and declared to tho people tlinttheoveriiowering nature of his feelings would not allow him to jfeach', atid eaihorted them to surrender their heaits to God. Cries and sobs were heard in every pait of the house, and the excitement became intense. Accounts of this extraordinary movement soon reached tho surrounding country, nnd tho peoplo crowded to see what theso things meant. They hnd never heard the liko before. Muny catno from a distnnco Iu wagons, bringing provisions with them. Tho meet-ing-houso could not contain nil who came, and an alter was therefore erected iu tl.o neighboring forest. Tho Hot-oi procedure gavo new impulse to tho public interest, and tents being procured, with provisions and other necessaties, a camp was formed around thealter. Tliemectlng wascontinued several (lays. Sectarian divisions wero for gotten for some tlinc, and Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists assisted eacli other in tho work of laving the unonveite I. The result t;as unparalleled, and suggested an other meeting of the kind, which was econ after held near tho Muddy river. A third meeting immediately followed, and both were attended by vast throngs. From theso beginnings the meetings were extended, In creasing In Kiwer and usefulness, under the sei-inl direction of tho r'resbyterians and Methodists. Because of tlirs union of sects iu their management they were first railed " General Camp Meetings. The roads lead- ingtotliogrovcJ in which the meetings weie held werooflcn literally crowded, nnd enliro neighborhoods' were frequently left without inhabitants whilo the meetings were in progress. At ono of the early meetings held iu Kentucky no less than 20,00(1 people wero present. The Presbyteriansgrnilually with drew from tho field after tho excitement was over, but the Mithodlsta carried them into other parts of tho country, and they soon became general throughout thedenom ination. With more or leas efficacy they have been continued to the present time, though not without earnest opjioaillon on tho part of many in tho church. During the eight years following the Introduction of camp-meetings tho net increase in thotnem- bershlp of (he Mctliodist church wnsb2,000, with a corresponding iufcroaso In ministers.

Jiambks and sittit on Champ tit ifari Ar chiicctural displays from alt quarters of (As Globe A peep in the varioiis building. Paris, Sept. 24th, 1878. If a guide, living or printed, bo required to Introduce a visitor, on his first entrance to the Champ do Mars, to tho contents of tho simple and admirably planned building there, such aid is much moro necessary in the case of the outlying portions of the grounds. They form a mighty maze, though not without a plan. Entering by tho Porto do Crenelle, oppo site tho railway station, on tho right hand aro tho British annexes, with a largo and well appointed cafe, restaurant, and behind that beautiful lake and the brotid expanse of grins trees', shrubs, and flowerbeds that sur round it all fow luxuriously in bloom directly facing Iho visitor. Tfio grounds I prose lo sketch occupy rill the space be tween that lake, or rather tho two lakes, for there is ono on each side of the grounds and the ritcr. Close to the gate referred to is a very small building which belongs loa philanthropic society. Tills society supplies tho maimed with aitificial arms and other contrivances, and ono or more persons may be seen work ing hero with tho aid of theso novel limbs. There 13 always a crowd around this little pavilion, and many are tho francs that find their way into tho bos In the front. Next to this is a similar exhibition, but on nn in finitely larger scale, where may be seen the ambulances anil the hundred "contrivances which science and ingenuity have created to mitigate the hornus of war as much as pos sible. The now famous red cross surmounts the buililiiu;. Oiqiosito to (ho society's sheds is the Span ish Pavilion, having a very fine collection of specimens of the produce of the forests of tho Pyrenees on tbiaside, and at she further end a handsome entrance under a grand portico. Within, a curious sight presents itself the - visum- bees nu nreiiiieciurai ficrcen aim weu I tiiritel arclfcs, noble columus.a lofty ceiling, glittering liko that of tho Palace of'lspah'aii, a transept; ono side of which reflects tho j other, tnoro' columns covered with brilliant 1 stntnctttes,rtuil in the distance u noblo paint j ed glnJs window. The glass is reiil, but tho . color is that of the wmo of Xeres and Mala I ga, of lhpicurs, nnd ol essences. Tho pillars, I the arches, tho brilliant ceiling and window are all formed of bottles full or empty, the corks and eipsules nro also pressed iuto tho servii e. This pavilion presents the most re markable example nf commercial decoration Unit I have ever seen. It has been carried throughout with such skill, that it calls forth exclamations of surprise from every new visitor. Apart from the decorative part, tho whole of tho rich but little-worked treasures of Spanish soil coal, ores nnd minerals of nil kinds, as well ns agricultural produce nre exhibited in tho most effective manner. Leaving the building by an npjwsito door, facing the lake.is found the rushes nnd canes of Phillip pine Islands, timber and casks, fibres and rope, arranged with the same skill as the bottles within tho buildinge. Oiqiosita the door in question, is a kiosk for the sale of the himous productions of Havana, from the most dcliisilelittlocig.irctlo to tho loidly cigar, wrapped each irf its metallic coating, and costing as much ai n good dinner. Near at ham! is the exhibition nf the little principality of Monaco, surrounded with palms, plantains, and other tropical plants and flowers, and glitfcritig in tho sunshine. Within tho central irtioti is occupied by a, fountain of a peculiar chnractcr; tho bottom is mm posed of decorative tiles, forming a largo squaro basin, with a depth of two or three inches of perfectly limpid water and out of this leap lour pairs ol small lets not nbno n yard high, but tho water falls back on tho hard tiles with a forco winch keeps the whole in constant movement nnd creates it most delicious senso nf freshness. In the centre and towering far above Ihe little jels is a fine faii-pahn in a great tub, Tho prin cipal exhibit of Monaco is deenrativo earth enware llower-pots jardinieres, cache-pots, and a hundred littlo fancy objects, pierced rttid covered with tlowersand ornamentation of all kinds, not classic but pretty not highly artistic, but cxtieiisivc. There lire, however, many examples of carved Ivory of a verveupcrioreharactcr ornamental work, not figures ; a largo oval mirror frame of great beautv, nnd many examples of iiuuute flower curving of the highest excellence. It is a gay littlo place, tho kiosk ol Monaco. OpjHisito is a pretty rustic bridge formed of well selected branches with Iho b.irk on ill painted east iron ! It is an iilHiiinnationt enough to spoil the day foran aestheticnlart critic, but finds admiration in tho eyes of Mor iinsopliisticattd mortals; and on each side of this bridge, which spans the teuiKir ury sunken road already mentioned, nre English eotlagis, which present a curious contrast witli their neighbors. Of these cot luges one is n model workman's residence; the other a copy of a gardener's lodge. One room is a coinlortable common sitting. room, another contains nn old-fashioned tent bed stead and moro furniture in keeping: and tho while curtains at tho windows, the g.iy red tiles, the flowering creejiers and other plants make up n very pretty English pic tute. By the side of these is a small stable, further illustrating Mr. Litcvllcs' system. A littlo farther on is the Belgian Restaurant Then comes one of the fifty or moro exam pies of glass-house construction, all present ing sonic feature of novelty, such us carry ing oil' the drip, or condensed water, or some H.vuliarity in form; and u few yards further is tho grand central lawn nf the ground and the Bridge of Jena, which leads to the Fro cadero. Thosirirtll bridgo previously mentioned, lietweeu the English cottages, leads to the Quai d'flredy, the entire length of which, uboiit two tliansand feet, is given up to tho horticultural classes. It presents n churm in: promenade. On Ihe right hand is a grand foiititaiu surrounded with lamps and I rom it extends a lawn of the most jierlcet emerald, ftirrounilcd by n gorgeous border of (lowers uf every line.
