[Correspondence of the Philadelobta Erening Bulletin.]
After saying a thousand injurious things of
the great show; after hailing It as a disappoint
ment, holding it up as a monster, and dismissing
it as a bore; after doing this kind of thing over
and over, in the very spirit of Sir Charles Cold
streain, now for the edification of a poor man of
quality in Italy, now for the wonderment of a
gaping -Breton of Finisg.re; after slighting it
often to many a Parisian cockney as weary as
myself, I went, like everybody else, to attend its
last moment and "have its life." A. feeling of
regret, almost of remorse, came over me at the
thought of losing the misshapen old anomaly.
Like its own Chinese giant, it was harmless,
though overpowering, and I concluded to go
and lean my pensive head upon the hip of the
latter, with the confession that I could have
better spared a better mandarin.
But I found myself in a place for anything but
pensive meditation when I had jumped from the
carriage, sacrificed my franc at the turnstile, and
plunged into the living river of humanity that
inundated the palace. A new element of confu
sion was added, to confound the eternal hubbub
that has always marked the precinct; the build
ing was not only filling, but emptying; they
were wil cling off the goods in shiploads.
Eng - was.. already half desolated. The
French rovinces were drained. Russia,the first
to fill her field, was retiring with the first. The
"Kingdom of Italy" was hinting evacuation to
the "Pontifical States." Prussia and Austria
were rectifying their mutual frontier, while
France, in a cocked hat, stood everywhere, in her
familiar attitude of overseer, advi ier and oracle.
It was a little disheartening. My favorite
inner ring, the interesting "Circle of the History
of Labor," was sealed up. The fair breadths of
pictured wall, where I had been wont during the
summer to feed my eye and fancy, were dis
figured with unsightly gaps and gashes. It
seemed as if banditti had been in wait behind
the variegated tapestry, and had rent it in burst
ing out.
The crowd was immense, but it was different.
It had lost the little faculty of discrimination it
ever possessed, and filled all the alleys with equal
density. It was more sad to see what it had
come to like than ever it had been to see what
it neglected. The cuckoo clocks, for instance:
no person In his sensed had ever, till this ob
literating day, been known to endure an instant's
presence in the alcove where they were all
wheezing together. A friend of mine, whose
car is fine, always kept at least two continents
away from the Swiss section. Now it was
choked like the others, and a mass of ears of
every size and hue was being tortured by the
frightful birds.
A great throng, however, is always a superb
spectacle in itself. I examined my neighbors
with the liveliest interest. Never again may I
see a company of such contrasted nationalities.
Auvergnat, Magyar, Hoosier, Campagnard,
Orange-man, Andalusian, Brazilian, Cairene,
Sioux, Pole, Mongolian, Biscayan, strangers
from Rome, Jews, and Mormons ! To look at
a thing so mixed was to have a dream of the
world's great future, when national quarrels shall
have died away, and progress, helped a little
even by shows like this, shall have smoothed
everything to the true millenium.
The dark, slender Egyptian wrndered softly
about, the three cuts on either check blue with
gunpowder. The Japanese student, dressed by
the great Dusautoy in the last Paris - mode, ex
posed ,his topknot as he uncovered to some
friend he bad spied out of his narrow eyes. The
Austrian guard bore down the crowd with the
white elbows of his elegant uniform. The su
perb mulatress from the Mauritius listened to
the pretty folly of a Paris beau. The Russian
carpenter leaned against the wall,tipsy, his heavy
cariocks in his eyes. Two young light weights
in spotted cravats, whose littleness, dryness and
pertness were the growth of London, and of no
other place on earth, amused me by their patron
age of the English pictures, of which they could
sec but the upper line, as they laid their chins
against the shoulder-blades of their taller neigh
bors. Under "Moucelioe" grandiose colossus of
"Hecate," I saw a pretty little Italian, with all
the frank confidence of her race, tear her gar
ments asunder with her little kidded hands, with
the action of Paul at Lystra in Raphael's car
toon, to serve to her child a repast of the density
and temperature adapted to its requirements.
Pushing on a little further, I saw another crouch
ing or reposing figure, and this one was repre
sentative and typical.
A conductor of the rolling-chairs had found a
safe corner, 'wheeled his seat into it, clambered
,in to the vehicle,. and lay there completely supine
and unjointed, asleep, drunk or dead. You will
not blame me for attaching a mystic and em
blematic value to this unstrung, Jeremiadal
figure. I fancied it was the Genius of the Ex
position, in a human form and a blouse, swoon
ing over tho decay of the occupation of the
rolling-chair. How complete that equipage
had been, how adapted to a sudden need, how
peculiar to the Paris Fair, what a boon to the
lazy! How often I had lounged deliciously
along, one hand upon the oilcloth back of such
a carriage, aspretty friend within it, and the ex
cellent fellow in a blouse doing the work, re
membering everything, and telling all about it
through his nose ! Now the pretty friends are
flying away amongst the petrils, the chair is still,
its wheels are locked,and Pierre mounts the ruined
throne of which ho had been the inspiration—
and snores. I hear his nasal requiem .beyond
the chatter of the throng._ It saddens me, and I
escape. . . _
In the park; between the Caravanserai and the
Chinese farm.house, I mot once more my old
friend, the converted- Mussulman. His exces
sively long legs were entangled amongst a press
of crowding figures, and he was enduring—what
no saint in the calendar ever had to endure—a
modern Paris martyrdom. A throng of French
wits, with the audacity of schoolboys, the malice
of magpies, the persistence of Naples beggars,
the relentlessness of inquisitors, the lightness of
musquitoes, the readiness of Irishmen, and the
polish of Athenians, had set themselves with one
intent to harry and perplex him. Ido not know,
I am; sure, why this harmless creature, the
emplOyd of , a worthy British mission; should
-enjoy, 'with Lord Dundreary, the honor of being
the cii&ce butt of the season at Paris. But so It
is, and I have heard him exploited. everywhere;
in the studio and the eaf6, on •the Boulevara and
by the sea-side, as the one joke too good
ever to fade, the sure bringer . of a
laugh no matter _where, the resource of flagging
wits, and the sever of sorry jokes. Here he was,
enduring , , X hope, his final torments. His white
burnous ,was full of tracts, but his elbows were
pinioned by 'the jam and his liberal intentions
were frultleee. A hundred hands wore thrust
PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1887.
Into_his damp and troubled face, and demands,
in every unintelligible sort of argot, were made
for the Evangelists in Hottentot, in Egyptian, in
Aztec, in Etruscan, in every unknown, unwritten
or forgotten tongue—to bo riven to the speaker's
mistress, dog or tom-cat. Finally the wretched
man, completely vanquished, gave it up and
bolted his face assumed a most un-Chnstian
expression, he gathered up his mass of skirts,and
rapidly directed his lean legs, to the inclosure of
the Asiatic theatre, where I fancy ho renounced
his temporarily-assumed religion in the presence
of the three fascinating priestesses of pleasure
from Pekin. A lively mason, In a. fresh white
blause, came out of the encounter with hie lists
stuffed full of tracts, and held them up trium
phantly as he sent a ringing comment. after the
missionary.
"Regard," he shouted, with one of those
grimaces that can only be made in Farle;•"ther re
ligion-machine !"
The touch of the theatrical in this latest dis
pensation of the Loudon "Caiviniats" has upset
the precarious gravity of the French populace:
They have fastened upon its eenak.Ade, and they
are laughing yet.
When I finally suffered myself to be squeezed
out of that Babel crowd, I had about as much
form and consistency as a postage stamp that
has gone through a paper mill.. It was in a limp
and dissipated-lookingstate that I turned round,
on the brilliant Mount of TrocadeVo, to look my
last look, and sigh my last sigh.
A few days before, one of the loneliest men on
earth, I bad seen the ponderous Atlantic batter
the precipices of Finistere. on shores so desolate
that they seemed like a new world waiting for
the creation of a race. My sense•ot solitude had
never been so filled, so fed and pressed upon and
emphasized. The naked, heather had been be
hind; before, the complaining- ocean, sending off
its battled waves to find another journey, another
goal, another hemisphere, another upbraidin,g
wall beneath the occident.
To-day, Paris, the maelstrom of men! Paris,
the enchantress, the Egyptian whom custom
cannot stale. Paris, who is neither loveable nor
fair ; whom we neither admire nor approve—
only we stay. The queen of fascination, queen
of intelligence, queen of tact, queen of art and
science, whom we dismiss a thousand times, till
w•e lied we cannot do without her.' And, for the
crown and last expression of Paris, this glassy
monster that has crystallized into a coil, and
blends within itself every amulet, every charm of
life.
It was one of those steamy Indian summer
days, dying softly in belts of yellow, lilac and
blue. The mild air was so charged with trans
figuring mist that even the Palace looked beau
tiful, and lay upon the river like a pearl shell,
over which dewy lights were beginning to glit
ter. The Venetian pennons,a thousand of them,
hung hardly stirring along their masts. I im
agined I was looking at some tinted fancy of the
painter Hamilton. That was mi . last sight of
the magical pageant. To-morrow men would
begin to destroy it. To-day, nature, anticipating
their work, had prepared a lovelier, milder decay
--the crystal wonder was just about to vanish.
The fairy-work of commerce seemed turning
to clouds and air. It was as when you watch
the last scene of the "Merchant;" the towers and
terraces of Belmont dream across the scenes,
the moonlight sleeps upon the banks, the lovers
chant to each other, with their perpetual refrain
—on'stich a night, on such a night: then the little
candles begin to throw their beams, and you
know that the mistress will want her palace again.
and that soon it will be over. A premonitory
shiver hurries down the canvas, giving you to
see the bright walls all tremulous, like walls.

The Odds.
MIL Einroa : Yon might just as well try to
batter down the walls of Fort Sumter with half-
Inch soap bubbles, as to attempt to get an idea
into the heads of some men. There is Wilkins,
for instance; he has an abstract conception of the
fact that a conundrum is a certain formula, such
as,•"Wby is a what's-its-name like a thingum-,
bob ? "—and he knows the answer always is,
"Because it's a what-d'ye-eall-it." But as for
haying any definite notion of the sorfl of the pro
position, he has no more than an oyster has of a
dollar and a half.
He never seems to get the exact hang of any
thing. Only night before last some of his Cale
donian friends were singing a good old Scotch
air, and Wilkins, after listening in absolatly stu
pid surprise,came over and told me confidentially
that ho ' never could tell why these Scotchmen
made such an everlasting fuss about `Old Lang's
Sign.' It was no better than any other sign that
he knew of."
Wilkins never was happy in catching a mean
ing. Be is a pigmy in stature, and he married a
female .twice his size, simply because he had
heard it positively affirmed that, it Is better to
have loved and lost, than never to have loved a
tall woman, and he has led a dog's life ever since.
Ile was always unfortunate with poetry. It
was he, you will recollect, who once went sere
nading a girl, and struck out under the window
with the pathetic line, "Ah, how can I leave
thee?" just as the heavy father, with a heart of
adamant, appeared at the second-story window
and suggested that the best plan would be to
leave her by taking the next Eleventh Street car,
and rendering the hint imperative, by promising
to send a policeman to help him off the premises
if ho didn't accept the advice promptly.
But neither force nor persuasion will sharpen
the perceptions of a dull mind. I know the con
trary thing is the popular one, as in schools
where the pupllgrims on the road to knowledge
are flogged to make them smart. You can't assist
them' in progression ' arithmetical or otherwise,
er give them algebrains if they have not a capa
city for mathematics.
There, for instance, is Girard College where
flogging was, according to those ten directors,
the rule. It seems to me, if their report was
true, the whole enclosure must have been an un
happy land of canitt', and yet the boys did not
learn any faker than is ordinarily the case. Al
len' I understand, is a stick-ler for the use of the
rod, but mark my word, he will make a failure
of his administration If he uses It liberally.
If you adopt the right kind of suaalon,yott can
mould youthful minds like. WAX, ytni but can't
do it with whacks. The birch rod is Oran& of

the old adage. "Spare the rod and spot/ the
child." The first part is good enough, but it is I
•
ridiculous advice which recommends a man,
under any circumstances, to spoil his child. , For
'my part I am a prohibitlor.ist. Igo in lot an
anti-ticker law. If you want a boy to learn his
lesson, lessen your application to hie back, and
give more attention to his head. Persuasion is
is your trump card; oh schoolmaster!
Speaking of trumps, reminds . me of Mrs. Bow
ers,lhe "right Bowers^ of the whole pack of

to see her marry Antoinette, but I did so, and

° As for Mr. Forrest, he Is a finished actor—
finished in the sense of being laid out and done
for. He is too tremendous for thin delicate age.
There is "Spartacus" for instance. Now was
fipart-accustomed to speak thus when he desired
to intimate that be would "Ah-malte-ah-R-R-R-
R-R-ome-ah-ah-howl-ah ?" I 'don't believe it.
For my part I dilil.e a Forrest that is so entirely
pop'lar.
Ido not object to Mr. Forrest musenlar
limbs as some do, for I like every Forest to have
a heavy undergrowth, but I do think the leg
itimate drama slightly too much for him. I will
except—perhaps his "Lear,'.! kinglier King
Lear than he makes, it would be difficult to find.
He is "every inch a king," and if you will only
think how very many inches that is, you will at
once perceive how extraordinarily monarchical
be must be.
But he ought to abandon Ifamlet; aye there's
the rub-bish. I always imagine when I' see him
in that character, that the ghost has been scared
away by his alarming convulsions, and I can't
for the life of me keep the run of the play. If
he would only dcigu to accept my advice, and
abandon the melancholy Dane, how much better
it would be! You have been on the stage so long,
that I should think you would sigh for rest.
Forrest, why not, then, bring your dramatic
career where I bring this screed, to

Cerreepoadence of the Philadelphia Eveningitulletilt3
HAVANA, November 16, 1867.—We are in a
great dilemma. Is the cholera here or %it not
here ? It would puzzle any one to give a correct
answer. People say that many cases have oc
curred in the hospitals, but I know there are four
physicians who absolutely deny the disease to be
epidemic. We see the government taking every
precautionary measure for an emergency; but
on the other hand they have not as yet published
anything looking like an ofliclal declaration that
the cholera is amongst us. Nevertheless, the
nubile are again alarmed and some families are
emigrating to the country. Trustworthy persons
assured me that a score of cases have occurredin
the military hospitalibut the victims were soldiers
and seamen of profligate life. To conttterbal
once this asaertion,one of the police chiefs states
that he has not had a single case in his ward,
composed of about 40,000 persons. There is a
ward in this city, called "Jesus Maria , ,." as dirty,
densely peopled and unhealthy as any other in
the world, and it seems very strange that the
military hospital, which is in itscentre, has not
spread the disease over that whole part of the
city. As the cholera is the all-absorbing topic,
politics are dull for the moment, and even the
last important events in Italy have attracted
little attention, although Garibaldi has many
sympathizers, particularly among the Creoles.
On the other hand, the higher and middle classes
have been affected by the death of some promi
nee t and generally esteemed persons, among
whom are Don Ramon de Beruete, Treasurer of
the Exchequer. and one of the oldest and most
honest public functionaries in Cuba, and Don
Miguel Delmonte y Aldama, a gentleman of high
standing and a decided protector of talented men.
Between the 15th and 20th inst., the iron-clad
frigate Tetuan, one of the most powerful among
the few vessels of that description belonging to
the Spanish navy, will sail for Spain. She has
already taken in coal and provisions for the voy
age. and only awaits the arrival of Ifer Majesty's
frigate Gerona, which was watching the Cuyler,
and has been replaced by the Carmen.

In Cienfuegos a Spanish passenger of the
steamer Cienfuego had scarcely landed, a little
after midnight, and was proceeding home, when
a man approached him and asked him for fire to
light a cigar, at the same time menacing him
with a dagger. Immediately after he was ac
costed by two other ruffians, who carried him,
together with his portmanteau,to an open place,
and after having robbed him of $ 2,000, some
tickets of a Royal Lottery and a portion of his
clothes, knocked him down and ran away. This
occurrence took place about a hundred yards
from the Civil. Guards' barracks. The ffilons
have not yet been arrested. The prisoners who
escaped from the Penitentiary of Santiago de
Cuba, have not long enjoyed their liberty. In'
my last I told you that one of them had been
captured, and now the remaining three have
also been apprehended, ono of them having been
killed in the desperate resistance he made. The
capture of these rascals was made by the overseer
and three negroes of a sugar plantation. They
were rewarded for their courage; but the Gover
nor of the Grientat Department ordered $l7 to
be given to each of them in presence of all their
fellows as a token of regard and encouragement
of the other people in like cases. As for the
banditti, they will be shot very soon, as they are
already sentenced to death. The same papers
which announced the above capture give the
notice of the death of the corporal who was on
guard in the Penitentiary on the night the pri
soners rebelled, and who received some wounds.

By the arrival of Her Majesty's steamer Vasco

to the 7th inst. It is imposoible to peruse the
journals of the capital without being sadly af
fected at the details of the terrible hurricane
which swept over the island on the 29th of Octo
ber. More than fifty towns and villages have
most of their houses, churches and other public
buildings leveled to the ground; two hundred
persons have lost their lives by the falling of
houses, or been swept away by the torrents;
thousand% -of cattle and fowl have been
drowned., the sugar and coffee crops are lost, as
is the Indian coin, rice, sweet potatms, and
other eatables, and it is feared tbat an additional
calamity. that (,f famine, will come over the
island. They have raised subscriptions to alle
viate the misery of thousands ot: familes who
have now not a shatter, and the Governorof the
island has applied to the Captain-General
Cuba for aid. Thelatter has ordered t,50,000
from the Treasury chests to be sent forthwith to
Puerto Rico, and has appointed some commis
61011n8 to raise volantarr subscriptions fisr the
relief of the sufferers in that island. It is said
that it will take four or five years before Puerto
Ric() can recover herself from the effects of the
hurricane.

gone to the United States with a commission from
Juarez Government for negotiating a loan of
twelve millions of dollars. The corresponding
exequatur has been granted by Juarez to Mr.
John Black. Similar exequaturs have been
granted to Messrs. E. 11. Sauline and J. Ulrich,
the first as accredited American Consul in Vera.
Cruz, and the latter at Monterey. it is said that
President Juarez, in one of the toasts given at a.
banquet with which he feasted the Bolivian En
voy, announced that the Government would, in
a short time, take under consideration the im

TINE CHIVALRY SHOOTING AFFAIR
IN BALTIMORE.
Statement of E. A. Pollard.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 19, 1867.—With reference to
an extensive statement by George D. Wize of an
assault with pistols committed on me by himself
and another of the Wise family, in the streets of
Baltimore (said communication appearing in the
Richmond Eaquirer,after that paper had:invoked
for him and his associate a suspension of public
opinion until the case was judicially examined,
and therefore especially , a surprise to me as vio
lating the just spirit and plain propriety of that
appeal), I regard such publication as so wholly
improper when a case has been Drought to the
tribunal of public justice, and committed to due
course of law, that I can scarcely allow myself
more than to protest that the said statement is
false in whole and in part, in, substance and in
circumstance. in letter and In spirit.
Yet briefly I may say this much:. that more
than a dozen witnesses, who, to some extent,
shared my danger in the street, will testify that
my arm was shot through and smoking with
blood before I succeeded in getting out my
pistol, to find it unmanageable, and to discharge
It on the pavement; that. John S. Wise and
George D. Wise both fired upon me without ;
uttering a word—without opening their. mouths .
—without signal, menace or Inquiry, I being
even ignorant who .they were, having only been
informed that "two men from Richmond' were
hunting the streets to shoot me; that when the'
firing took place my wife was near my side,
not more than one pace to the rear: that John B.
Wise ran from me the Instant he fired; and that
all the circumstances leading up to this rencontre,
such as leaving their names for me at the hotel,
as "gentlemen from Philadelphia," and further
requesting the clerk to have me conducted to • a
private room to meet them, show a cartfully con
structed and cold-blooded plot to take my fife
without risk to themselves, which nothing on
earth prevented but the bare accident that my
elbow, by an instinctive movement, caught the
ball that was aimed within less than two feet of
my heart.
When the case is called at the bar of the
Criminal Court here, it. will be time enough to
'enter into details; and , when the statements of a
"cloud of witnesses" are put In opposition to
that of George D. Whie, the public will suffi
cientlyjudge and the law finally decide between
us. lam content to await the due legal course
of justice; especially in a matter whore society is
as much interested for a public example as can
possibly be fora private vindication.
With my life yet. In danger, and harassed by
the torture of a shattered joint, I am in no con
dition to, indulge in newspaper publications on
any subject; and in no circumstances can I have
any arena of controversy with those two men,
John S. Wise and George D. Wise, any other
than a court of justice. I will meet them there.
