I tun worth no less than all these 'wlLiorn you receive here.

Vargueil herself believed that she ought to tone 'Olown 'its crudity. Upon that came a Com- plaint froth the authors, who 'demand fidelity to their text. • From the above circumstances has grown this singular situation, in which Mlle. Fargueirs discrimination is the - reliance of- the manager . for . saving, night by night, the good-humor of the-house. When she that her public is sympathetic, that it has not been too much fluttered by the beginning of the scene with Savard, she pro : Bounces the phrase as written. When she:ob serves a slightly hostile disposition, she . attenu: ates,it by some other reading, according to the complexion of the audience. The Vaudeville r actors at. present,instead of asking each evening whether the house is good-tempered, simply inquire : "Will if ellx buy Fargueil to-night?" INIEBEStING DEEP SEA DISCOVE. DIES. (Prom the London Globe of November 25th.] The opening of the "scientific season" has been signalized by the communication made to the Royal Society by-Dr. Carpenter .on the results of the deep-sea explorations . carried on during the past summer and autumn by him, self, Professor Wyville . Thompson and Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys. It will be romembered that on an application made by the Royal Society, the Admiralty placed her Majesty's ship Porcu pine, Captain Calver, at the disposal of the explorers. In this vessel three expeditions have been made, and the sea-bed explored from the northern extremity of the Bay of Biscay to the Faroe Islands. •• Dredgiup were obtained from a few fathoms near the shore to 2,500 fathoms, or nearly three miles, out at sea; and the mud brought up has been care fully examined for whatever of animal life it might contain. Deerring for a." moment a notice of the animal forms discovered, we turn to the account of the temperature of the sea at different depths. These determinations were made with the thermometer expressly devised for the purpose by Dr. Miller, of which we gave a description before the expedition started. The results obtained may be stated shortly as follows : At the surface . there is a stratum of water, the temperature of which varies with the latitude and the season. When, however, this temperature is high, it declines rapidly, and is lost at about 100 fathoms. fzon2 this, in deep water, there is a rapid de cak to about I.oao fathoms, at which there is ato constant temperature from 38 deg. Fa. :Li Z 6 deg. Fab. Abrupt variations in the `el of the sea bottom occasion considerable urea e:,,:fLMIIC , ES in temperature, by obstructing the current of cold water from the Arctic' regions, but the result of the thermometric otr nereatitons. is to show the existence of a stratum of iee-eodwie.er from W./ fathoms downwards ; a Sliir.lll2 of warm water from 150 fathoms inewards and a stratum of intermixture be ti ten the two. It should be mentioned that the lowest temperature found in these higher a; des is above that of the deep sea water in the or, , ....a.terialmrions, which is accounted for by an uninterrupted flow of cold water from If* antarctic regions. Turning from the temperature we come to the extraordinary fact that in the deepest abysses of the sea there is an abundance of animal life. It was once supposed that no animal could exist lower than 1300 fathoms; but this question is now set conclusively at rest, for not only have the glo bigerime (comparatively low forms of life, but the echinoderms, molluscs and crustacea heed brought up froni the profoundest depths of the ocean. What it will most interest zoologists to learn i e that 127 species of molluscs were found, none of which were previously known to exist in British seas, and many of- which are altogether new to science. Of echinoderms the number known to exist is now nearly double, while so many varieties of arenaceous fora-. Thinifera have been found that it will be dif ficult to find names for them. Many sponges altogether new have also been discovered,some fine specimens'of which were exhibited at the second meeting of the Royal Society last Thursday. As regards the source from which these animals derive their food, Dr. Carpenter remaiked that it resolves itself into the single question of the maintenance of the globe gerime or chalk animalcules. They, it would appear, can live- by themselves, and all the others can live upon thew. The food of these animals is supposed to be the organic matter (the mysterious bathybius) which is everywhere diffused through deep sea water. But, it may he asked, bathybius whence ? There are some who believe that inorganic matter may pass by a spontaneous change into a condition ready to become organized. There are probably others who will see in this deep sea organic matter only the result of animal decomposition, of which there mast surely be enough in the ocean. To conclude this brief review we. may notice what is perhaps the most interesting of all the discoveries made, viz.: that some of the animals brought up from a depth of 1,270 fathoms had perfect eyes, while the color of theirshells indicated the influence of light. Thus it would seem that the \ deepest abysses of the ocean are not absolutely dark. Sir Charles Lycli suggested that the light in these depths PliirsPioreseent. 'On this Matter we must wait for further information, and Mr. Gwyn Jeffrey held out the hope that, with the assis tance of Sir C. Wheatstone, some steps might be taken in another expedition to ascertain the character and, the intensity of the light iirdeep ocean. is gratifying to. learn that the results of this expedition are incomparably more im portanto than any before obtained. Italian s, .Danes., _Norwegians, Swedes, and Americus lave also been busy sweeping the ocean 'bottom; and Russia is now preparing a dredg lug expedition. From all this we may expect that; in a few years, the world under water will 'be as well known as that above it. —The reason the road of the transgressor is kird—heallle it is HQ mud/ tra,yeled, OF THE GREAT 44T.

By seven o'clock in the evening, they had reached a little innon their way to the Mena.stry Obey had still to journey for seVenteiltiome Miles before reielf"' ing the monkish place of welcome ; and, since the night was dark and stormy, the innkeeper besought them to wait :until the morning. Being poor, they refused. .They belonged to that class of poverty-stricken-pilgrims who are constantly passing between Switzerland and Italy, and who carry :all' their worldly goodi in: 'a knapsack of; untanned deer's ,hld6. A few minims suffice • to take - ,such . 'travelers from any ,part,Of the great Canteu ' ValaiS to Aosta. • They - shun inns with. horror, as . places of unscrupulous extortion; and, their aim is to break the journey at the Hospice, where they get food and lodging for the night free of charge,. and in the morning are pro vided with the necessaries of travel on 'the same benevolent terms. .Hence; although the night was pitchy dark and the WirutWas com ing down with • hurricane-like gusts from the great mountains that shut in the valley, the three travelers resolved that they would push On to the Hospice: Soon after' leaving the canteen they began to •ateend a winding, rocky and steep path, which overhangs a howl ing torrent and leads •to the ,Monastery. The oad is perhaps one of the roughest iii Europe. So many rocks jut dnt, so sharp are the turns' round the course :of the brook, and so steep are some of the ascents, that even a mule might be pardoned for slipping. When the night is dark and the mists come down, the path could scarcely, hd kept, even by a man who had daily traversed it for years; and the only safe guide would-be the roaring of the torrent.' The ascent is so steep that, after a couple of hum' climbing, the traveler finds himself seven thOuSand feet above the level of the sea; and at that elevation, even a ft er the hottest days of August, the ccildls at nightfall often intense. On the night of the fatal acci dent all those perils were combined. So black was the sky that the wayfarers bad slowly to grope along by means of the precipice which lawns in the side of the path farthest froth the , torrent. Had the moon been up, , they might have been guided by the poles which the Monks have planted in a direct line from the hospice to the valley,to indicate the direction when the path is buried- under the' snow, and the torrent is frozen. • But, in the pitchy darkness, the friendly beacons were obscured. Hence the travelers seem to have again and again been brought to a standstill, before reaching that ford of the brook at, which the road dips, and then goes up with one swift, spring to the spot where the great barrick-like Hospice guides and cheers the benighted traveler by its beacon light. The poor pilgrims were so near to the blaze, that, had they been able ' to exert them selves for a few moments longer, they would haVe been safe. But the toil and cold had so paralyzed their faculties, that they could not proceed one step further; they were overcome by that craving for sleep, for rest, which is the effect of intense cold; and, within sight of the . friendly gleam that beckoned to them over bead, all three travelers laid down and died. • On the Great St. Bernard the winter season begins soon and ends late. Already it is winter beside the mountain dwelling; and during the long'months when the snow. covers the ground, or the cold makes traveling perilotni, it is the•tlaily custom of the good monks to journey as far as the bottom of the pass in Order that they may lend assistance .to any traveler who may have dropped by the way. • Clad in their long black serge gowns and broad-brim med hats, accompanied by attendants who carry wine and provisions for the restoration of the wearied or fainting travelers, and guided by the famous St. Bernard dogs which do the work of pointers, two or three monks daily make the seven miles journey to the valley below. Until the occur rence of the late accident they had not for some years found any traveler dead, or beyond the aid of restoratives. Gradually, indeed, the perils of the terrible ,pass have be,. come so fully appreciated that even the Pooreat traveler shrinks from attempting the ascent to. the monastery after nightfall,if the ground is cov ered with snow, or if the great storm gust blow down from the hills. The three who have last fallen victim, however, were less discrete ; and 1 next morning when, the searching party of monk had proceeded to a short di stance from 'the Hospice, they found the bodies stiff and cold. They were taken to the little “morgue" which is situated at a short distance from the principal building of the monastery; , and in that naked mausoleum the• remains will abide with other relics of mortality, unless claimed by the kinsfolk of the lost. It is a grim resting-place. In that small hut perched among the wintry mountains dwell the skeletons of the men and women and children who, in the course of mat* genera tions, have perished in the fatal pass. So in tense is the cold that the unembalmed bodies resist for long years the hand of decay. Uncof fined, and dressed in the clothes which they wore when found dead among the snow, they stand perched against the wall, and, while the visitor looks through the iron grating of their tomb, they peer grimly forth, as if soliciting re cognition and an .undesecrated place of rest. An old man leans against the wall,his head boar, his staff in his baud, and his attitude stiffened forever by the death that smote him years ago. A woman clutches in her arms the babe that perished witl her in the snow. From the other grim figures the clothes have rotted away: - by: fragments, leaving bleached protruding bones. The floor of the dungeon-like tomb is strewn. with the memorials of the dead; and, going from the blazing fire of the monastery to the "morgue,"' the travCier can pass in a single instant from the hum of mirthful conversation; or the joyous sound of music, to what might seem a place of the living dead. Europe con tains no more weird or gloomy night than that prisonhOuse of clothed skeletons, perched in the Alpine wilderness, and seen - through -the misty and wintry gloom. GROCERIES, LIQUORS, &U.

Bills relating to steamship lines to Europe were introduced by Messrs. Rice and Ramsey. The House of Representatives went into Committee of the Whole, and Mr. Mungen, of Ohio, read a speech advocating the repudiation of the national debt. When he had concluded, he was replied to and his position denounced by Messrs. Brooks, ('ox and Slocum; of New York, Randall and Woodward, of Pennsyl vania, and Kerr, of Indiana, who declared that for themselves and the Democratic party of the country they utterly disclaimed and opposed re pudiation in any form. Mr. Garfield moved that the Committee report to the Ilouse.areso lutiou, declaring "That any propositiou.direet or indirect, to repudiate any portion of the debt of the United States is unworthy of the honor and good name of the nation; and that this House, without distinction of party, hereby sets its seal of condemnation on any and all such propositions." The resolution was re ported to the House, when Mr. Jones (Ky.) moved to lay it upon the table.

The people of Berlin have pined the repu tation of the wittiest of Gerinans. A writer in the Vossion brings together some examples of wit of pure Berlin production, occurring in the returns of the Last census in the Prussian ! capital. The following characteristic items were found written under the heading of " Calling Occupation" on the census charts A. lamplighter, apparently afflicted with a national love of titles, wrote under this head that be rejoiced in the fact of being a "North - German lamplighter." Another, a jack of all trades, said,. "I do everything, for I, myself, am a mau." Another entered himself as a "prac tical physiologist," while another is "being ed ucated for missionary service among the heathen." An Austrian named "illusionist" as his calling, white another had entered him self as a "realist," and with this felt himself's() much Prussian that,.burt by being asked,i"Be longing to. what other State ?" answered with the words : EXcuse me ! • true Prussian!" Another appears to have bad the idea that a man's occupation exists only as long as he, is actively engaged, for he says he is a "tailor,but now, on account of lack of work, a de-noth ing." A poor widow,born in 1801, told her simple story in a trembling hand with the two words, "Earn nothing." Under the head of religion there are some curious expressions. One gives his religion- as "Gottestburd," Which may Plebe bly be•beSt translated as "Diviniauity;" another says as follows; "By. the illustrious clergy ex pelled Prein the State church, because the hus band was previously divorced from a Catholic ; the souls of both husband , and wife, however, remain true to the evangelical faith; for over this matter the clergy have no.power." A boon companion, living in Berlin, an swered the. question, "Where is your resi dence?" with the elastic answer, "Now here, now there!" 'Flue question, "Number of rooms occupied ?" appears also to have given some trouble We answeiellirere frequently!tiegitl4d kvy the state y of the *Titer's purse,for a ns*ers this quev , tion laconically, "Justus it comes." • A father, who had recorded in his family list, a souk and ft itaugliter,l4val,llor all probatitlity,f: an! atistrice 4 tdattematician. lav answer to the question, " Relation of the metak bens of the tosthe bead of the bousei bold ?"'lie answered, "" Two to one !"—a politer: hint to the. inquisitive, census official not to disturb:We barmen:Vl of krciai .circle by such an impertinent question. mli l 7 l - 4 4 41 K/WG rit;rIFILEGE• • AAwbuille thP.irMuM l .7l, • e Inte -drollowinfr appeared 'in portion of our edition of yesterde.Y.l • The New York Herald say-8: ' it is m elithat PostmaeterrOeuerid OreSweil has addroal a ,eoeurnpnication to, the ..4.lhaitl. men of the °Use and .

Two kinds of Locks and Keys; one of brass and the other of iron, different in exte rior form and interior construction or arrange 4 went, are required ; the Proposals should specify separately the price of each brass, Lock, each Key for same • each iron Lock;: and each Key for same. Duplicate samples of each kind, of Locks and Keys tiroposed are required to be submitted with the Proposals; one of each Sample Lock to be riveted up and; finished . „ and afiother to be open or untweted, so that its internal structure arrangement may caeily-bie examined. 'Every sample should be plainly marked with the bidder's name and, if the same or any part of it be covered by a patent,the date of ,such patent and 'the name of the patentee 'must also be attached thereto. The internal plan or arrangement of the Leeks offered, and the particular shape of the Key requisite to open them, ..must not be like any . now or heretofore in use. They must be warranted not to infringe upon or conflict with any patented invention of which the bidder is not the patentee. Pre, ference will be given to a -Lock, the Key of which has not been exposed to :general (Amer, vation, or been publicly described, dtplosed or suggested. A decision on the various specimens and Proposals will be made on or before the 34 day of MARCH, 1870 ;,and, unless, the Post master-General shall deem it tobe best for the 'interests of the Department to reject all the Proposals and specimens submitted under thia advertisement (a rightherehy expreesedly re= served to him), connects will be entered into, as soon thereafter as practicable, 'with the succensfid bidder whose Locks shall adopted, for' furnishing similar Locks and Keys for four, years, as they may be required and ordered. If mutually agreed to in writing by the contractor and the Postmaster- General for the time 'being, not lese is tbatt • six months before its expiration', the contract • niay be extended and comtinued for an additional term of four years. But on and alter the expiration ,of either term of the c(intract, or on and after its rightful anulmeut at anv time, the Post; roaster-General shall have the. right to con tract with or •employ any other party to furnish the same, or any other Idial of Locks and Keys ;.and if he shall deem proper, to demand and receive from the late or de faulting contractor all finished or unfinished Keys and the internal parts of the Locks con tracted for, and all dies, gatiges, and designs, (which would enable others to make or forge such Locks or Keys), in the posse s sion of such. contractor, who; after their surrender. to the Department, shall be mild for the same,at such price as may be ascertained by fair appraise meat The contractor must agree and be able to furnish, if required and ordered. - 2t1.000 Brass Locks and 3.000 Brass Keys within three months from the time of entering, into core : tract, and so,ooo Iron Locks and tio,ooo. Iron Keys within ten months from such time. But the Postmaster-General will reserve the right to increase or diminish, as the wants or inter , est. of the service may demand, the quantities of the Locks and Keys above specified, with it proportionate allowance ot time to furnish them. All the Locks furnished by the contractor must be warranted to .keep in good working order for two years in the ordinary use of the service, when not subjected to obvious via levee ; such as become defective within that time to be replaced with perfect Locks with out charge. All the Locks furnished under contract are to be. each,. distinctly marked "U. S.' Mail," in either sunk or raised letters, and all the Keys are to be numbered in the natural' order ; each Key having its appropri ate number distinctly stamped upon one side the bow, and " U. S. Mail" on the.opposite side. The contractor will be required to deliver the Locks at his own expense at the Post- Office Department, Washington, D.C., put up on sticks, forming separate bundles of five Locks each,. and securely packed in wooden boxes containing not more than two hundred Locks each. The Keys are to be delivered to an agent of the Departmerdduly: and specially authorized in each case to take charge of and convey the same from the contractor's manu factory to the Department, where both Locks and K.eys are to be inspected and approved be fore they shall be paid for.
