Tbe Palace or Versailles.
The Palace of Versailles sjtanda on the
entskirts ofthe town of this - name, anil
is one of the most extensive .and mag
nificent establishments ofthe character
m Europe. It was built by Louis XIV,
m the seventeenth century, at a cost of'
over two hundred millions of dollars,
and, up to the period of the revolution,
was the chief residence ofthe Kings of
Prance. Louis XIV and his immediate
*®ccessors held court here on a scale of
unapproachable magnificence, and it is
* well established historical fact, that
the onerous , taxation incident to the
enormous expenses thus incurred, was
the. primary cause of the revolution
which sent Louis XVI and his un
fortunate Queen, Maria Antoinette,,
to the scaffold,*, and drenched France
in the blood of some of her. best
and noblest citizens. It was here that
<the royal family were residing when the;
revolution broke out, and the balcony is
out to visitors from which Louis
.XVI., attended by his Queen and chil
dren, addressed the infuriated mob, who
on the fatal 6th of October, 1789, came
to tear him from his palace. In fact, I
there is scarcely a room in the entire'
palace that has not a' history of its own,
but it is entirely unnecessary that wja
should go into details here. During the
revolution the palace was. despoiled- by
the mob] and, but for the interference of
Napoleon, it would have been leveled to 1
the. ground, and the property disposed
of- Fortunately, however, he had in
fluence enough to prevent such an act of
vandalism, and subsequently, when he
became Emperor, he spent large' sums
in endeavoring to restore it to its pris
tine splendor. u
Versailles is now wholly devoted to
the exhibitions of paintings and statu
ary, and, when we tell our readers that
the palace has a front of over thirteen
hundred feet, and is filled from the base
ment to the roof with the finest sculp
ture and choicest paintings known to
ancient or modern art, they will be able
to form some idea of the value of the
collection. The various great battles and
sieges in which France has been engaged
from the time of Charlemagne to Louis
Napoleon, have all been transferred to
canvass, including the memorable cam
paigns of the elder Napoleon, the paint
ings relating to which occupy a gallery
larger than our City Hall. Whatever
may be said of the tyranny or ambition
attributed to Bonaparte, the French
people glory in his achievements,
and his name, (and everything con
nected with it) is regarded ev6n to-day
with the most profound reverence by
all classes of the people. Among the 1
liistorical paintings we noticed one re
presenting the interview between Wash
ington and the French commander just
previous to the attack on Yorktown,and
in the portrait gallery we saw well ex
ecuted portraits of a number of our Pre
sidents and leadingstatesmen, including
Jackson, Calhoun, Webster and the
“ old public fune,” James Bu
chanan. There are some fifteen
rooms, altogether, devoted to these por
traits, and a more interesting collec
tion, or one in which the celebrities
■of the last six centuries are so fully re
presented, cannot be found anywhere.
The statuary is equally fine, but it is
unnecessary to notice it further.. The
gardens attached to. the palace
are remarkable for their extent
extraordinary beauty. They are laid
out in the most attractive manner, and
jare ornamented with statues innumera-
■Jl e< jn bronze and marble, nearly ill
of whicll we “life size” and by
the best: mastCl'a, In front of the
palace Is a. series of magnificent foun
tains, the most complete aQti extensive
ever constructed, and in the various
basins may be seen immense numbers of
jjold fish, perch, trout, &e., all of
enormous size, and so tame that they
almost permit you to handle them.
There is a fine park attached to the
palace at the extremity of which are
two minature palaces known as “Le
Grand Trfenon” and “Le Petite
Trianon,” the former built by Louis XIV
for his mistress,Madame De Maintenon,
and the latter by Louis XV for the
famous, or rather infamous, Madame
Du Barre. Both buildings are filled
■with statuary and paintingß, and are
open to the public free of charge. —Paris

Tlie Old brsnUne Convent.
The above building, now ÜBed as the,
archiepiscopal residence, on Chartres
TJrsuline streets, is one of the antiquities
of New. Orleans. The chapel attached
to it was the first religious edifice that
was built in that city or State.
The convent has something to boast of
besides its educational and religious asso
ciations and it was here that for a num
ber of years, and until 1834, the Legis
lature of the State held its sittings.
When itwas built by the French Govern
ment, in 1733, it stood in a central part
of the rising metropolis. But business
Las fled , its immediate quarter, and the
Cathedral and Jesuists’ church now draw
together the larger throng of the pious.
Attracted recently, during a stroll
through that portion of the city, by the
sight of its slate colored roof, Its time
stained walls, and the general air of
antiquity that pervades this range of
buildings, we ventured to penetrate
within the high enclosure that , zeal
ously shuts the grounds from the vfilgar
gaze. We were politely welcomed : by
the concierge who occupied two' rooms
at the entrance, the existence of which
latter we had not suspected. ■ We found
ourselves in a garden, and passing
through the main building, beheld
another of still larger extent, in which,
doubtless, the grandmothers of many of
our.readers played as children. In the
rank .growth of the artificial trees and
plants, some of which, it isnot too much
to suppose, have been here for nearly a
hundred and fifty years, and with the
branches of the willow, althea, fig tree,
and the leaves of the banana, which have
grown m wild luxuriance, the walks
have become almost impassable. A row
of mulberry .trees near the outer wall
screened the inmates.from. the. view of :
the neighboring houses, and rendered
the .place as isolated and retired- for the
nuns and their pupils as the building the
latter at presentoccupy. Still, we pre
sume that it was with a view to escape
horn worldly influence that, induced
. to ' dispose. of the building and
grounds in 1829, and move to the neigh
of.th,e!<3arraeks - But the prin

minds the observer of Hood’s “Haunted 5
House.” Some . portion of the
altar is still remaining, and singularly
enough, a fine painting of the Virgin,
just above, is butlittlerajured .by time. ■
Otherwise the walls of the building are
in good -preservation, and we were
pleased to learn that a plan is thought
and talked of—as the present church is '
insufficient at times for all of its wor- •
shipers—to restore the chapel to the. .use
of religion. Re-entering the main build
ing, yon mount to the second story (au
premiere) by a stair case, bordered
with old-fashioned iron railing,
and on either side are to be
seen the dormitories formerly occupied
by the nuns. Bot there are no objects
at present in the building which recall
the presence of awoman, and the furni
ture generally is remarkable for its sim
plicity. In this connection it may not,
perhaps, be inappropriate to remark
that the buildings are now under
the charge of the vicar general, Rev.
Father Gilbert Raymond, who repre
sents the archbishop during his tem
porary absence. . A valuable theological
library, with the works of the Fathers,
Meditations,Problems, Demonstrations;
Evangelique, Vie des Saints, Lettres
Edifiants—we glanced at before leaving,
and were also permitted to. Bee the last
report of the vicar general. From it we
learned that there are now 132 of the
resident Catholic clergy in this
city, 14 asylums and hospital, 14 con
vents, 30 academies and schools, and
about seven or eight thousand pupils of
both sexes; and in the whole State 86
churches. j
Taken as a whole, the old convent is
in good repair; the walls are still of great
strength, and the building is likely to
remain for many years to come, a solid
monument of the olden time. — JST. O.

English Fox Hunting.
An English magazine discourses as
follows onfox hunting: One of the great
est charms of fox hunting undoubtedly
is, that it disposes of all the dirty wea
ther which goes to make up three
fourths of an English winter. Wet and
drizzle, and muggy fog,'(the characte
ristics of our brumous and insular cli
mate, according to numerous French au
thorities,) are the capital on which it
trades. To the hunting mau a rainy
morniDg in winter, which to most other
country folk can promise nothing better
than a long yawn with book or news
paper in hand, and a prospect over a mi
serable stretch of sodden country,means
sport, and society, and enjoyment. It is
nothingto himthattheground rides sad
dle-girth deep, and that he is splashed
with mud from head to foot, so long as
the scent is good. He will only enjoy
the more by contrast the charms of his
own fireside, when he has cast his slough,
and makes his appearance in the draw
ing-room before dinner, hungry, and
happy, and a little tired.. This, indeed,
to my mind constitutes one of the prin
cipal benefits which accrue from fox
hunting considered in an ethical light.
It enables certain rich people occasion
ally to realize some of the conditions of
poorer humanity, to feel themselves, if
only for a short time, to be men, andnot
only lords or squires or great merchants
and manufacturers. When he gets ofl
his horse, after a long wet day in the
clays, my lord is very much in the
same draggle-tailed condition in which
his laborer Hodge is, just emerging
from the "oozing ditch, in which he
has been engaged for some hoars plash
ing a fence. The hardness which it
necessitates, together with a small
amount Of danger that accompanies it,
takes fox-hunting out of the category of
tame sports—such as battue shooting,
fpr example; than which I know not
any pmusement more despicable and
inane. And one of the least favorable
signs-of the times, to my mind, is the
increasing fondness of the noble and
wealthy for this latter sport, if sport we
must call it. For the spirit of civiliza
tion and refinement which has exorcised
from the higher ranksof the community
drunkenness and swearing, and that
roughness which still had something of
hardihood in it, is not an unmixed gain
to society, if the English mind is to be
emasculated thereby, and, losing its
coarseness, is to lose also its manliness
and self-reliance.
Scriptural Quotations.
- A New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune , writing a sketch of
Rev. E. H. Chapin, tells this story:
“After reading half a dozen notices
from the pulpit, he paused a moment,
threw both hands upon the stand, hold
ing the closed hymn-book in one hand,
with a forefinger marking the place,
and with just the least bit of humor in
his manner, made another announce
ment. He had received an anonymous
letter during the week, He did not
usually notice such things, blit this was
courteously wordecfand appeared to be
sincere in its character. It contained a
request, he said, that he should preach
from the text: ‘Thus saith the Lord, let
us eat, drink and be merry to-day, for
to-morrow we die.” ‘I should be happy,’
he continued, ‘to preach from this text if
it were in the Bible, but it isn’t there.
It is not recorded that our Lord ever
made a remark anything like this, and
lam sure he never did. Paul quotes
some such expressionfrom one of the old
heathen philosophers, but our Lord
taught a different doctrine. And now,’
he concluded, after hesitating a moment,
‘if any member of my congregation has
had anxiety or trouble with this text. I
hope it will at once be dismissed, for
there’s no such text in the Bible—no
such command or permission in our
Lord’s teachings.’ ”
Dr. Chapin’s correspondent, who
seems'to have had, a confused memory,
made a curious inversion of a passage
which occurs three times in the Bible.
The correct readings are these:
IsaidH xxii 13.—And behold joy and
gladness, slaving oxen, and killing sheep,
eating flesh and drinking wine; let ns eat
and drink, for to-morrow we shall die.
. Ist Corinthians, 32.—lf after;the man
ner of men I have fought with beasts at
Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the
dead rise not? let us eat and. drink, for to
morrow we die.
. JLuke xxi. 20.~Anci I will say to iny.soul,
Soul thou hast much goods laid up for many
yeare;take' thine, ease, eat, drink and be
merry. _ But God saith unto him,Thou fool,
this night thy son! shall be required of
thee; then .-which shall these thingsbe thou
hast provided?
Scriptural quotations are frequently
inverted in this way, and passages from
Shakespeare are often credited to the
Bible: but how many - casual readers
would believe that the phrase “escaping
by the skin of the teetl}” is from the
Bible? It occurs in Job, chapter 19,
verse 20, and the correct reading is:
“My bone cleavetb to my shin and to
my flesh, and I am escaped with the
skin of my teeth.” B.

I am satisfied that there is-only one way in
which the state of affairs on the Rio Grands

Mexico, and the^.United States,.and .also,
that they will not be. permitted to' remain 1
on onr territory, and receive the protection
of our flag, in order to complete their ma
chinations for the violation of our neutrality
laws. '

Tbe Vintage of France.
[From Gallgnanl’s Messenger, Sept, U.]
Most unfavorable accounts of the vin
tage are being received from the wine
growing countries of Burgundy and the
centre of France. In the former district
immense ravages were made three days
back by a severe hailstorm. At Dijon
the effects were scarcely felt, but at
about three miles from the town, on the
road to Beaune, the damage commenced.
From there to Marsaunay the vines are
completely cut to shreds; on several
points there remain on the plants neither
leaves nor fruit. Nults and the neigh
borhood, however, escaped. At Beaune
the hail fell with great violence for about
ten minutes, and the stones rattled on
the pavement with a noise equal to that
of a park of artillery passing tnrough the
town. The storm extended from Beaune
to Auxay by way of Volnay and Po
mardwitharamification toGigny,Cherey
and Vignoiles. The top of the hill side,
however, suffered less than the lower
part.
Although uo accounts of hailstorms
are received from the Beaujolais, the
vintners complain greatly of tne weather
during which the fruit has ripened, and
declare that whatever improvement
may take place between now, and the
period for gathering, the wine cannot
be otherwise than bad. The maturity
is unequal, and rot has shown itself in
the lower vines. Oh the hills the fruit
is both too close and too abundant,
which are two causes unfavorable to
good quality.
Effects of Emancipation in Russia.
A St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Pall Mall Gazette, writes as follows :
“The continuation of the old despotic
system of the Czars, in the midst of the
far reaching social reforms introduced
among classes of the population who
are totally unprepared for them, has
produced a state of anarchy in Russia
which it is difficult for those to realize
who only see what the government
chooses to show to the foreigner, but are
ignorant of the evils which nnaermine
its power. It is scarcely possible to de
scribe in terms too strong the multipli
city of evils under which the country is
now laboring. Fourteen governments
in the centre of Russia, representing a
population of twenty-fivp millions of
inhabitants, are almost without any
food for man or beast. This result Is
not due to any calamity, for the crops
have been satisfactory, but to the inert
ness and negligence of the peasantry,
Who, having no one to urge them to
work, have giveri themselves up to
their besetting vice of drunkenness.
Railroads In India.
[From the Inn don Globe, Sept. 15.]
The two lines of railway to complete
the Indus Valley route, so long advoca
ted by Mr. W. P. Andrew, are about to
receive the sanction of the Indian auth
orities. The first line, well known as
the missing link from Kotree to Mool
tan, will place in railway communica
tion the Punjaub and Scinde lines. The
other lines, no less important in a politi
cal and strategic point of view, extend
ing from Lahore to Peshawur, will join
both Calcutta and Kurrachee with the
Kyber Pass, the latter being six miles
distant from Peshawur. This is the
best answer that can be given to those
who attach so much' importance to the
movements of Russia towards our north
western frontier.
The Pleasure of Living in Cen
tral America.— A correspondent,
writing from Aspinwall, says: Every
thing is so cheap down here, it seems
almost as if I had gone into another
world. For instance, we buy very good
cigars for $1 20 per hundred, and very
nice Havanas for $4.-- Everything else
is ■as cheap. Even greenbacks can be
bought for 80 cents, and then gold and
silver are as plenty as fractional cur
rency or tax collectors at the North. I
assure you it is almost fairy land. The
military, however, rather makes me
smile, after having jseen a sailor with his
fists whip five fully armed soldiers who
attempted to arrest him.
Singular Notions of the Marriage
Relation,— The Chicago Republican says
a man who said he was thirty-five years old
called on a justice last night, asking to be
married to a girl of seventeen years, The
justice asked the usual questions, and re
ceived correct answers until the following
was propounded : “Have you, ever been
married before?” “yes.’,’ "Is your wife
still living?” “Yes.” “Are you divorced
from her?” “No.” “Where is she?” “T
sold hen” “How much did you get for
her?” “None of your business.”* ‘ “Well I
oan’t many von if your wife is living »
“But she liked a younger feller better than
shedid mefand was willing to be sold for
$2OO if he bought her, so I let her go.”

it was constructed many centuries ago.
