Bar num, Central Park, Fairmount, Boston Common? . My recollection could not furnish' an affirmative far any of these questibni, and I concluded to : wait till I returned to„America, and make it my ; first business to see that whale. The next idea that suggested itself was, what would these Eu ropeans think If I should tell them that m all, America there was , no such thing as a ziiological. garden t Borne of them, who think you. can leave New Orleans tat ten o'clock In the morning for a little excursion to the: White Mountains, see all -you. • wish ",and; get back again In ine Ibt the Idea; that our country Is one Immense' 'xo'llogiesi gar den, and all we haNls to do is to Makeencloimunisi to keep the wild animals in. One "English wo masa asked: "Are you an h'Atnerlcan?" "Yes,' madam."," "Dear me!" she exclaimed, •'ow well you speak hope before they dis cover we have no place where our students of moral. history can see livius illustrations of e'very known 'species tithe:est, bird'and fish, we will Aecure At the fichoenbrann palace. in Vienna, a-large portion of the splendid gXrdens has been ar ranged for all sorts of wild:and tame animals. e governments of Europe vie with each other In et curing the most rare and the finest speci mens of each beast. Thd Jardin des Plantes in Paris is irannaase;and a week would not Suffice for a careful examination of all the animaip, Louses, fish ponds, aviaries and bear dens. The animal and fowl-houses are arranged on the same principle. A central brick house, oc tagonal in form, a door opening from each of the eight sides into an enclosure of iron wire ork, strong in proportion as the animals caged; thef whole top covered with the same wire work in Abe fowls or climbing animals' cages. These emelosures are larite - encrugh — for -- ponds, arbors, trees fourtem feet high, and each enclosure is furnished with' a fonntan, that can be turned on or off skta moment's notice, a rivulet or cascade. In one of thbee enclosures a beaver from Canada, wieldng to do credit to his , provincial brethren at home, has built himself a mansion where, with true John Bull eieltudieness, he is sure to retire when he thinki any one would like to see him out. .0 Iligaters from Louisiana, poultry from Mexico, South American birds and reptiles, and American ea.9,es of every description, were here, many of whirh I saw for the first time. Tho Jardin des Plantes was founded in 1635, when America was dialy a wildernees, and it would be absurd to. ex pe et °dr government to afford us in a few years such an institution, combining in one a mena gerie of living animals, containing 450 wild ani male, 400 birds, besides the great number at the nursery of ,Jardin d'Acclimatatlon, where foreign beasts' and - fowls are do mesticated. fishes, strange sea plants, and silk worms are multiplied to an amazing ex tent; a botanical garden, with hot-houses and green-houses, where 10,000 bags of seed and 8,000 3 onng trees are annually produced; several tine galleries of botany, mineralogy and zoology, a library of natural history, and an amphitheatre furnished with laboratories for public lectures:on all branches of natural history. In these schools every branch of learning is taught. Why can not our Government found such an institution at Washington, and each State have a garden of acelimatation, or nursery for the principal gar den, extending them to the preservation of the largest and finest specimens of wild animals according to their several means, making the sale of young animals, plants and seeds, and the eggs of fowls and birds, pay partially for their support? The eggs alone bring an income of 30,000 francs to the garden of acclimatation, and the sale of animals 105,000 francs. Independent of the great advantage to students, the instruc tion and amusement these zoological gardens afford children is incalculable. - Entering the gar den in Regent's Park, London, a sign at the gate tells you the monkeys are fed at 1 o'clock, the beers at half-past 1, the pelicans at half-past 2, the eagles at e, and the lions at 4. A terrible chattering directed us to the hungry monkeys, and we approached their cage to see them make ladles of their paWs, and take up a mushy mixture of bread, rice and gravy out of wooden troughs, which they devoured vans_ cionsly until their appetites were satisfied: then threw it each other's faces. It was delightful to hear the children scream-with laughter at this ludicrous exhibition: - - llome - ofthergray-whiskz ered, bald-lieided monkeys looked perfectly In dignant ad the mush ran down their faces, and a general llght.woind nit the meitl: They ponnded each other, rushed rip and down the branches of an old tree, and chased all over the cage. An un expeete4 diversion followed. A young lady standing nearer the enclosure than was prudent, a little monkey seized the feather on her hat and ran to the top of the tree, where lie picired it to pieces and threw it at the children, who were shouting with laughter at the trick—the victim of his mischievous propensity good-naturedly joining them. Turning to the main well; w e watched the little children riding about the walks on dromedaries and elephants, afterwards, re warding them with sweetmeats. The animals are not made to kneel to receive the children on their backs, but step-ladders are provided for the little ones to climb. It is amus ing to Bee a child'six years old sitting between the humps, on a dromedary's back, rocking back and;forth with every step, while the kmpar holds on to the heel of her boot to prevent her rolling off backwards. . • 'Frightful screams from the eagles' cage in ' formed John Bull that the representatives of American independence were impatient for his beef; John took his own time, but gave in at last,: and when the great pieces of raw-meat, weighing a pound• each, were thrown into _the cage, each•. of the thirev9gre-erigles darted - his' tit- Jona into a lump,•and . hopped on one leg to the' place he chose ' , for tearing and devouring his I,rey,.

Mrs. Davis's t 3 tyl e--n ed We describe it ati this date, 'when it has become one of the familiar' enchantments of literary art in this country is almost unique in its facnity of revealing pro foundness in the ordinary plot of commoi,llfe ;, in other words, this woman of genius, while con fining herself to pure and humane themes, can', find in them such a wealth of color as must be' l sought by lesser writer—the spasmodic boat. of Braddons, Weeds, Muhlbachs, bbacid, atrocities, or historic crises.

"Our Monthly Gossip" has earned a very agreea ble reputation as a repository of table-talk--a feat far from easy when every magazine supplies an ardent competitor. The poetry of the num ber is all excellent, without being very powerful. "Castles in the Air" is by Rev. 8. W. Duffield; `•'tinder the Pine," by Paul H. Hayne;" "The Old Wedding Ring," (the best, in our opinion) is a very sweet ballad by Margaret E. M. Sangster. Lamartine and Victor Hugo and their Wives• "Echoes from the Continent," in the Lon don Herald, has the following "Nearly thirty years ago Victor Hugo, Charles Nodier and their wives, came to visit Alphonse de Lamartine at his ancestral chateau at Saint-Point, near Macon. At that time Lamartine was at the acme of his popu larity, and among his guests was a mistress of the robes. What could the duchess, then not a dowager, aller faire at Saint-Point? There-are blue stockings in politics as well as in literature. If you doubt it, better ask Emile de Girardin, who was also visited by the said duchess at that time. Victor Hugo had won then the sceptre of the romantic school in France with his 'Notre Dame de Paris;' but he had not at his banker's the fortune he possesses now. Moreover, he had not, and never had,l think, the Sybarites tastes of Lamartine; _Madame Ilugo's toilet was not resplendent with dia monds, withal it was a gem of eloquence. Well, Victor Hugo, Charles Nodier and their wives were relegated to the third place among Lamartine's visitors. I cannot help ponder ing on the present relative positions or Lam artine and Hugo. Fortune and considera tion have rewarded the independence of the one,, the other has turned out a literary Beli saritis. "Five years ago Madame de Lamartine died. On that sad occasion. Victor Hugo wrote to Lamartine the following note: " TCAIITEVILLE Housz, May 23, 1863. Dear Lamartine : A. great mistbrtune has befallen yon. lam anxious to place my heart side by aide with yours. I venerated the one you loved. Your high mind sees be yond the horizon ; you distinctly perceive the future life. It is useless to say to you, `hope.' You are one of those who know and wait.

In losing his wife Lamartine lost all—he is childless, while Victor Hugo has still two worthy sons,pour lui servir de bei ton vieilesse.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1868. The Campaign as Home. The Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the following intelligent account of the situation here: • Pita/mama, Sept. 16.—Now that Vermont and. Mahe have spoken overwhelmingly In con demnation of Seymour and Blair, the loyal peo . ple of the nation naturally turn to Pennsylvania, Ohio. and Indiana for a response in October . worthy of the cause and their. candidates. Pennsylvania is in no degree doubtful. The Republican candidates for Auditor and Surveyor- Generals will be chosen in October by certainly not leaf than General Geary's majority in-1866 (17,00011 and it is more than probable that the majority will be from 20,000 to 26,000. The counties of the State, will send to Philadelphia thelargest Republican majority ever given since 1860, when Gee.' Curtin had over 82,000; This cliy hall been confidently elairrod by the 'Demo 'crate, and had the election' taksit place SO days ago they would have succeeded by .a small major ity. But the development of Seymour and Blair's , policy in the late rebel States has so clearly de monstrated the inevitable limits of a .National .Dtmocratie victory, that ' basinfuls men . and friends of law and order generally here either became lukewarm In the Democratic ranks or arrayed themselves on the Republican side. The, Republican demonstration in the city last night !was. the most imposing ever made here by any party, and it was gotten rip with lees effort than ever before. It but confirmed , the hopes of the Republicans, and I feel safe in assuring you that the Republle.ans will carry Philadelphia In. Oeto her. by from 3 1 000 t0.5.,000, and Grant's majority ..in November will not be less than 10,000. The certainty of Republican success -in the State has made political efforts on both sides cen tre in this eity,andin several close Congressional districts. The Legislature will , be largely Repub lik:an. Even last year, when the Democrats car ried the State by 900, the Legislature was deci dedly Republican. This year the Republicans will gain one, and, perhaps,two, In Philadelphia; two in Franklin and Perry, three in Lycoming, Union and Snyder, one in Huntingdon, Mifflin and Juniata, and ono in Indiana and West moreland. The Republicans will probably lose one Senator in the place of Mr. Shoemaker in Luzerne, and there Iva be a close contest in the Franklin and Adams district, but I look for the election of Col. Dixon. Republican. If so, the Senate will have three Republican majority : At . the worst the Republicans will have one majority in the Senate, and not less than 20 in the House. A Republican United States Senator in the place of Buckalew is safe beyond question. *Tzars OF THE CAMPAIGN. E. D. W. Grant and the Contractors While General Grant wee in command at Cairo in 1862-63, he incurred the deadly liostill_ty_ of the army contract - Ore l - 4 hls atteriipt — to stop waste and extravagance, and introduce square and honest management. In a letter to the Chief ' Quartermaster, Department of Missouri, dated January 3, 1862, he says: Extravagance seems to be the order of the day, and now that I am investigating every depart ment, and all that is done here, I find that con tracts are not given to the lowest bidders. There is probably some explanation that can be given, such as bide being put in informally,arisbv more from ignorance than from any, other cause. I would recommend that Captain Baxter, Acting Quartermaster, now Purchasing Quartermaster here, be allowed to pirrchase in open market until the atmosphereis purified somewhat. This is not applicable to l;aird alone, but to Paducah also. I do not know the merits of the contract as given, but Ido know that 20 per cent. can be saved by annulling present contracts, made without my knowledge, and adopting the purchasing system. If contracts must be made, 1 wodld suggest the pian of receiving bids for any amount of corn, oats or hay that any bidder might propose fur nishing. This plan would enable the farmer to bid for his crop, without having it pass through the hands of speculators. IT. S. Gluon', Brigadier-General. Another Prominent Democrat Out For Grant. [From the Providence Journal, September 14.1 The following letter from the Hon. Joseph M. Blake, whe favored McClellan in the hen Presi dential contest, was read at a Republican meeting in Bristol, Monday evening. Mr. Blake was for many years Attorney-General of the State, and is confessedly one of the ablest men at the Rhode Island Bar: "BRISTOL, Sept. 7, 1868.—Dear Sir: It will not be in my power to attend the political meeting this evening, but fully impressed with the convic tion that no one ever elected President, from the foundation of the Goveinment to this time, whose election was so important to the country as Grant's election now is, I am willing to do anything in my power in aid of his election, and I authorize you and Mr. S--- to use my name for me to becomo a member of the club, to subscribe what you think right for me to con tribute toward the necessary expenses, and pledge me for as much talk when the time comes for speeches, as any body in town would care to hear from me. - Yours truly. JOSEPH M. BLAKE." The Richmond Dispatch, having noticed the statement that "Hale, Clay, Dix, and other Radi chls now representing the country abroad," favor !Lc. election of Gen. Grant, is moved to say, in ils peculiarly kind manner, that no one expected 11.(13 whose continuance in office depends upon his & luction to come out against him, and that "all such cattle" will be called home if Seymour should be chosen. —Brick Pomeroy, more honest than some of his Liemocratie_nelg,hbors, says of the. Maine elec tion:— -We don't like it. And we don't intend to like it And we won't like it one bit, and in proof that we do notolie shall the more earnestly urge the canva:: i the hotter "pour in the fire of hot, not cold fa i,:, and arouse the people to the clan gt rof allo g New England senators and car pet-bag sans tors from Southern States to control the nation." —A private letter received from a Kentuckian by a gentleman of New York, says: " Very many people here are buying confederate bonds at le cents on a el. in anticipation of the election of Seymour and Blair, in which event they be lieve the bonds will be at par, or at least of a value approaching par!" This shows what the South think of Seymour and Blair. —Hon. George E. Pugh showed where he be lieves the Democratic party stands, in a recent speech. HO said : "I would' not give ttiein. three-cent postage stamp for• their fonfteenth amendment. It is not a part of the Constitu tion, and it never will be. I say, as Frank Blair said, these carpet-bag governments must be overthrown." —Lieut. Governor Jones; of Texas, Democratic Elector, is out in favor of universal suffrage, and asks whether .he shall retire from the ticket. —One, of the Parisian theatres publishes the following advertisement : " To-night, the Grand Duchess-- of .Geroletein. His Highness, Prince Paul of Thurn and Taxis, will perform Prince Paul." The theatre in question is Madame Brun ing's German Theatre, where the Prince of Thum. and Taxis, who recently gave up his title in 'orddri to marry an actress and become himself an actor, has been engaged. His debat is one which will certainly- - displetwe . his august relatives la Ger, paany,,among whom are the Empress of Austvis and the King of Bavaria. • ' '" —There are few people who have not been, oc casionally. puzzled ,eatether to. write ei or is in the words that so represent the %Mind of !prig e.

The performance of this-week by the Bichlngs troupe was excellent. The first delicate bit of concerted music given was the upiertette in the first act between "Mary,"lyan,""Chateanneuf," and the "Czar." It is erneeedingly brief, but it was sung admirably, audit - was an earnest of the good things to come. Mr. Bernard persOnated "Cluateanneuf," and we take` great pleasure in saying that he fulfilled all • the require.nents of the part. He has never , • appeared to greater ad vantage, and the impression made upon the aud ience by him was of a very flattering description. It fell to his lot to sing the most beautiful air in the opera—the little romance hi the second act. This 113 a sweet, flowing melody - fell ofplajntive- - ness and tenderness, and Mr. Bernard sang it with the grace and feeling of a true artist. Immediately following this, there is a sextette for male voles, which er ertahis the most peetilar, original and beautiful harmony in the opera. Messrs. Campbell,Castle, Perkins, Ar nold, Seguin, and Bernard gave it with power ful effect, and were heartily encored. In this, also, Mr. Bernard shone with more than his usual ability. The high capabilities of his voice were displayed to great advantage, even while he was surrounded by artists whoee execution was in every way admirable. Mrs Bernard in the character of 'Mary," sang a pretty bridal song in the second act charming y, and her performance of the part throughout was verygood, although the music allotted taller Was not by any means as elaborate or asgreatin'quantity, ns that which is usually given to operatic heroines. The finale of the se cold act is full of fl,ie mony, which was given by the entire eqinpany; and the act closes with a magnificent caorus. which also was skilfully sung. The thud act opens with an amusing rehearsal scent in which Mr. Seguin's powers as an actor found ample room for display. The music of the episode la In the highest sense comic, and prove; the ability of the author to handle the humorous element of his wit with powerful and original effect. Offen bach has not in any of his syllabub operas, any thing as good as this one scene. Certainly he never approached any other of the Iniernenie and melodic passage to which we hay. alluded. The scene concludes with a Very beau iffnl chorus. In the same act Mr. Campbell, in the detract •r of the. "Czar," sang an Aria, beginning "In childhood I dallied with sceptre and crown " The melody is extremely pattietio • and touching, and Mr. Campbell gave it with deep feel in. It deserved and rec.-Ived an encore. Indeed the while performance was entirely satisfactory in every respect, and we have sin ehal out a few of the company for sp cial men tion, only because their prominence dem .nded it. All the others, Messrs. Peaks Castle, Ar nold, and Mrs. Gonzales deserve mu b credit for their share of the entertainment. Mr. B. hrens handled the orchestra with his usual skill, but the bass instruments, daring a greater We of the time, were entirely too noisy. We sug gest that the bold trumpeters be ropre lied with a gentle but firm hand. Audiences e ire leas to hear the toot-elar (if we may be allowed the ex pression) musicians in the orchestra thin the singers upon the stage. They should bu more useful and less hornamental, so to speak —more peaceful, and not so much on their metal that they come to violent blows. Mrs. Bernard will have a benefit to-night in Norma, and on Saturday Maritana will be gtvea. —M. Capon], the second tenor of the Grand Opera of Paris, has bought a splendid chateau near his native city of Toulouse, for. two hundred and fifty thousand francs Most of his colleagues at the Grand Opera are rich. M. and.M'me Guey ward, two prominent-members-of theisame-inAti tution, who, for six years past, have jointly re ceived an annual salary of one hundred and thirty-two thousand francs, have just applied for a divorce. M. Gueymard says that his celeurated wife is so ridiculously jealous of him that she ad ministers, every evening, the most violent Gaulle lectures to him, and often strikes and scratches him. —Mlle. Schneider was rather unpleasantly treated by her French landlord in L.,ndon, Duguerreau, at whose hotel she stopped during her recent sojourn in the British metrodolts. After one of the representations of the Grand Duchess of Gerolatein was our, Mlle: Sohneider gave a champagne supper, which soon resumed an exceedingly gay character. When the guests had left Mlle. Schneider, one or two hoary after midnight, a waiter knocked at her door and said: "M. Daguerreatt wishes to see you, Mademoi selle." "Faitas eritrer," replied the diva of the sabre demon, pare. M.

This charming lady is Offenbacji7s greatest intetpreter.and admired and worshipped by the English lovers of opera boaffe. She is a very nice creature to furnish entertainment for Modest women.
