the Paris exposition.
The Opening Ceremonies of France's tlreat
Show.
The ceremony of opening the Exhibi
tion began at 2;S0 o'clock in the after
noon, At which time it was showery, but
nt three o'clock the sun was shilling
brightly. The crowd was immense and
enthnsiHstio in spite of the intervals of
rain dnring the proceedings. Cries were
everywhere heard of " Vive la Kepub
lique" and " Vive la France." Among
those present were the Prince of Wales,
Don Francois d'Assise, father of the
king of Spain; the Duo d'Aosta, brother
of the king of Italy and the ex-King of
Spain; Prince Frederic, Crown Prince of
Denmark; the Prince of Orange, heir
apparent to the throne of the Nether
lands, and Prince Henry of Holland.
Esoorts of honor had been sent at one
o'clock to the hotels of the Presidents of
the Senate and Chamber of Deputies
and to those of the Prinoes who were in
Pari to represent their respective Gov
ernments, to conduct thorn to the exhi
bition building.
The Marshal arrived at the Trocadero
in the state caraiage, escorted by his
. military household, troops being drawn
along the route from the Elysee. On
his arrival at the Trocadero President
MaoMahon presented to th' ir royal
highnesses all the ministers, the officials
oonneoted with the exhibition, and
several other distingnishod personages.
On reaching the platform, M. Teisser
ene de Bort, Minister of Agrioultureand
Commeroe, welcomed the Marshal, and
delivered an address to the effect that
the idea of holding an exhibition sug
gested use u tne day after the definitive
concentration of the Republic Repub
lican government thus gave stamp to the
tendencies and aims which it wished to
assign to its efforts, and testified its faith
in the stability and fecundity of the in
stitutions it had founded and its confi
dence in the sympathies of fordn gov
ernments. He thanked the foreign
countries which had so magnificently re
sponded to the appeal of France, sent
their art treasures and manufactures
here, and now crowned their courtesy
by honoring the opening of the enter
prise with the presence of the most illus
trious citizens and best loved princes.
The Exhibition was a proof of native
vigor which would make its mark upon
tli9 history r.f the Republic In the Ex
hibition visitors would see that France,
reassured in regard to the f ntnre, had
taken a fresh flight by the revival of her
activity and energy, and Inbored more
ardently than ever to multiply the crea
tion which honor her artisans, embellish
the life of her people, and multiply the
benefits of civilization to the honor and
glory of humanity.
President MacMahon said: " I desire
to join in the sentiments expressed by
the Minister of Commerce. I offer my
congratulations upen the magnificent
result achieved, and of which I am
hoppy to have the whole world as wit
ness. We have also to thank the foreign
nations for so completely responding to
the appeal of Franoe. In the name of
the Republic, I declare the Exhibition
opened."
One hundred and one rounds from the
guns at the Invalides, on Mount Yale
rien, and on an island in the Seine, fol
lowed the announcement. At the same
time two military bands struck up, all
the fountains played, and soldiers sta
tioned by the flagstaff's hoisted the flags
of all nations on the roofs of the two
palaces and the annexes.
The Marshal turned to M. Krantz, the
organizer of the Exhibition, and con
gratulated him on the auspicious open
ing of the grand enterprise.
The Marshal then reasoended to the
Trocadero Palace, the procession reform
ing behind him, and, after completing
the round of the building, crossed the
River Seine to the Champ de Mars.
Troops were drawn up on and near the
bridge. The terrace of the Champ de
Mars Palace was occupied by Senators,
Deputies, the Council of State, magis
trates, academicians, the military staff,
and the French Commissioners.
As the Presidential procession, inolnd
Princes, diplomats, and other distin
guished guests, reached the front of the
Palace of the Champ de Mars, the scene
was extremely picturesque. The State
bodies in full uniform, connoilors and
magistrates in their robes, and the dif
ferent bodies of the Institute and the
Legion of Honor, together with the
Senators, Deputies, clergy, and minor
officials and deputations from the army
in full uniform fell in with the Presi
dential cortege and moved through the
East Indian Hall into the grand central
nave of the palace, passing in rapid re
view the various foreign sections, and
exchanging salutes with each Commis
sioner, who stood in front of their re
speo ive sections. The procession then
passed into the art galleries thence into
the French section, which occupies one
entire side of the palace. Alter the
usual courtesies, the President and party
left by the Avenue Rapp gate and re
turned to the Elysee.
Every available space in the palace,
as well as the lawn in front and out
lying buildings, was densely crowded,
notwithstanding the fact that admission
was solely by invitation. Shortly before
two o'clock a sudden and violent thnnder
storm came np, creating considerable
movement among the spectators, but it
lasted only a few minutes, and before
the arrival of the Presidential paaty the
sun was shining again brilliantly.
After the formal declaration of the
opening, and just as the cortege, headed
by President MacMahon and the Prince
of Wales, moved from the gallery of the
palace into the open spaoe, where a long
line of troops stood at present arms,
large drops of rain began to fall and
umbrellas and overcoats for a moment
hid the gorgeous uniforms and decora
tions of the princes and dignataries
forming the procession from the view
of spectators. The rain-fall, however,
lasted only a few moments, and the
march over the Bridge of Iena to the
buildings in the Champ de Mars was con
tinned without further inoonvenince.
As the President, at the bead of the
cortege, passed through the Exhibition
Building, on the Champ de Mars, he
Eansed a short time before the offloial
eadquarters of each section to note its
condition and exchange a few words
with the offioials in charge. At the
American section a squad of sailors from
the United States vessels at Havre were
drawn np on the left of the entrance,
commanded by Ensign Young, of the
Constitution. On the right of the facade
were thirty marines, under Lieutenor ts
Russel and Zelin. Governor MoCormi k,
the Chief Commissioner of the Uni d
States, attended by the Assistant Co -missioners
and attaches, stood in frcnt
of the entrance. President MaoMahon
was attracted by the bearing of the
American sailors, inquired concerning
the service and vessels to whioh the be
longed, and expressed grata fioatio at
their appearance. M.Berger, Dire lor
of the foreign sections, presented G v
ernor MoCormiok to President Mao
Mahon, who stood several minute in
conversation with him, longer, in fact,
than at anv other section. The marine
and mployea oawedhewxtily u the
procession moved on. A numerous com
pany of American ladies witnessed the
procession from the American facade,
and joined in courtesies to the Presi
dent. Early in the evening the avenues and
boulevards were crowded with vehicles
and foot passengers. Later, the streets
were impassable in many plaoes in con
seqnence of the immense crowds as
sembled to witness the illuminations.
Many buildings in every quarter of the
oity were decorated with flags of all na
tions. The American colors were abun
dantly and conspicuously displayed. The
boulevards des Italiens and des Gapn
oines were brilliantly illuminated with
gas-jets.transparenoiesand Chinese lan
terns. The pressure of people and car
riages on the two boulevards mentioned
was indescribable. For three hours ev
ery inch of space in the main thorough
fares, and every side street, was occu
pied by surging masse shouting and
singing.
Homo Physiological Errors.
One of the notable examples of popu
lar delusions regarding bodily structure
and funotions, is exemplied by the belief
that the third finger was selected as the
benror of the wedding-ring because a
pm acnlar nerve placed this member in
direct communication with the heart.
Over and over again has this belief been
expressed, and in the belief is found an
apparently satisfactory reason why the
third finger is thns honored. The
slightest acquaintance with physiologi
cal science shows that the supposition
referred to has not given a germ of prob
ability to show on its behalf. The ring
finger is supplied with nerves according
to the rule of nervous supply in the
body generally, and, it need hardly be
said without the slightest reference to
the heart; the nerves of which in turn
are supplied from an independent source
and one quite dissociated from that
which supplies the nerves of the hand.
Equally curious and erroneous beliefs
intrude themselves into the domain of
medicine and surgery. Thus, for in
stance, it is a matter of ordinary belief
that a cut in the space which separates
the thumb from the forefinger is of ne
cessity a most dangerous injury. The
popular notion regarding this region is
that an injured inflicted thereupon is
singularly liable to be followed by
tetanus or lock-jaw. There exist not the
slightest grounds for this supposition.
Lock-jaw, it is true, might follow an in
jury to this part of the hand, as it might
supervene after a wound of any of the
fingers. But physiology and medicine
alike emphatically dispel the idea that
any peculiarity of structure which might
predispose to the affection just named,
exists chiefly in the region of the thumb.
It may be that the difficulty expecienced
in securing the healing of wounds in
this portion of the hand owing to the
amount of loos? tissue and to the free
movements of the part, which it is almsot
impossible to prevent might favor or
predispose to An attack of tetanus. But
as the i same remark may be made of
many other portions of the body, it fol
lows that the thumb region possesses no
peculiarity whatever in this respect over
any other part of the frame.
A very common idea, but one found
ed on no certain or fesible grounds, is
that which maintains that our bodies
undergo a complete change and renewal
of all their parts every seven years.
The " mystical " nature of the number
seven, has had an unquestionable effect
in originating this opinion; and although
the age of fourteen, and again that of
twenty-one may be regarded as marking
the attainment of youth and manhood
or womanhood respectively, yet physio
logy gives no countenance to the popular
opinion that of necessity these period
are of those sweeping bodily changes.
On the contrary, it might be shown that
the periods at which full growth of body
is attained vary with climate, race and
constitution that is, with the personal
nature, and with the physical surround
ings of individuals, communities and
nations. The true state of matters, as
disclosed by physiology, leads ns to con
template actions and changes which are
of infinitely more wondrous kind than
those involved in the idea of septennial
change. For if there is one axiom
whicn physiology maintains more con
stantly then another, it is that which
teaches that constant and never-ceasing
change is the lot of life from its begin
ning to its end.
Anecdotes of Morrlssey,
A Washington correspondent gives
these anecdotes of the late Senator John
Morrissey:
Two or three incidents conneoted with
Mr. Morrissey's first official appearance
in Washington are not unworthy of
mention. The day after he arrived here
to take his place in Congress he was
seated in the barber's shop of Willard's
hotel, when "Beau Hickman," well
known as "the champion gentleman
beat of America," approached him and
said, " Mr. Morrissey, permit me, sir, to
congratulate yon upon your election to
Congress, to a position, sir, whioh I have
no doubt you will adorn." " That' not
bad," replied Morrissey, " but what
does it cost?" Oh, only $5," replied
Hiokman. "That's cheap," said Mor
risey, and then handed him the money
without another word.
Shortly after he came to the capital
Mr. Morrissey learned that Colfax, who
was then the Speaker of the House, was
an inveterate smoker. Acting npon this
knowledge he went to him and present
ing a neatly papered parcel, said: " Mr,
Speaker, I want to talk to yon about my
place on the committees, but before I
say a word let me give you the best box
of cigars in America." "Ah, yes,' said
Mr. Colfax, very much embarrassed,
" but, you know that is to say all the
important places belong by right to the
old members." " Certainly," said Mor
rissey in his own blunt, hearty way,
" that's just what I thought, and what I
want you to do for me is to put me at
the tail end of some committee that
never does any work." "Oh, that's
easy enough," said Colfax, evidently
much relieved ; "I'll do just what you
want." He kept his word, and Mr.
Morrissey was appointed to the Com
mittee on Revolutionary Pensions, which
meet about once in five years.
Morrissey, unlike most of his associ
ates, was not ambitious to figure prom
inently in 'the " Congressional Direc
tory," and when Major Ben Perley
Poore, the compiler of that work, called
on him for a short sketch of his life, and
asked what his profession was, the
newly-elected Congressman said, with
some bitterness, " Well, I suppose yon
bad better put me down as a faro-
dealer."
" Oh, you don't mean it," said Major
Poore. " Can't you give me some other
occupation ?"
" Yes. of course I can." replied Mor
rissey, "Give me credit for my old
trade if yon will: call me an iron-
moiuer, lor tna wnai i am u i. in any
thing." And he appears in the " Direc
tory " as an iron-moiaer.

The Awfol nolerinnut at Tlentefn, China
Terrible Scene ofAaeny and Death,
The particular of the great fire at
Tientsin, China, are horrible. The
number of refugees who had been col
lecting at this point had been augment
ing by daily additions until the aggre
gate was variously estimated at any
where from fifty thousand to one hun
dred and fifty thousand. An additional
soup dispensary was opened on a piece
of vacant ground known as the Flower
Garden of the E'ang family. When this
relief depot was established, the whole
premises was surrounded with a strong
fence of reeds and millet stalks, plaster
ed with mud. As the place was to be
oooupied only by women and children,
the greatest care was taken that all com
munication between the inside and out
side be prevented. The alley on the
west side was fenced np at its north end,
and the only gate of the soup-yard was
at the south end of the same alley a
gate about six feet wide. About ten
o'clock on a bitter cold morning an
alarm was given that a fire had broken
out in this relief yard, roofed with in
flammable mats, and crowded with hu
man beings. Crowds of people began
to gather on all sides of the yard, and
tear down the strong fence. The mo
ment that communication was establish
ed between the inside and the outside, a
considerable number of outsiders leaped
into that part of the inclosure forming
the alley, to attempt to rescue those who
were still struggling to escape. The
scene within wa9 awful. The long sheds
bad already melted into smoke and
ashes, and only the poles were still
burning yet not the poles alone, for
beneath stretched Ions lines of some
thing only distinctly seen, and which,
between the gusts of flame and smoke,
conld be recognized as the heads, arms
and bodies of human beings, all huddled
within the limits of the former compart
ments, and just as they were caught by
the fiery sirocco. Not one in twenty
had time to move a yard before they
were met by flames and suffocated where
they chanced to be. In front of the
locked gate a large number of poor
wretches were caught and imprisoned
by the flames. Their wadded or
skin garments caught fire, and could
neither be taken off nor extinguished
scores of poor women were reduced to a
condition too horrible to be described
absolutely roasted on one side, and
utterly helpless to escape. '
The greater part of those who were
burned must have perished instantly.
Within five minutes of the time the fire
oroke ont, it is probable that those who
failed to escape were suffocated bv the
flames. Long after every scrap of mat
and wood had been consumed, the bod
ies of the victims continued to burn and
smoulder. The corpses were most of
them reduced literally to cinders, utter
ly beyond recognition. Many of the
survivors on the day ofthe fire, and the
three following days, while the bodies
were being taken out, wandered about,
uttering the most piteous lamentations,
striving to discover their children; hus
bands came to institute a hopeless quest
for their wives. Nothing was left npon
the ground but hundreds of horribly
mutilated corpses, fragments of half-
burned clothes, and broken pottery. It
is definitely asceitained that the num
ber who perished is somewhat more than
fourteen hundred.
Sham Buildings in Brazil.
A recent traveler in Brazil mentions
some instances of architectural shams,
which excel anything which we have to
show. He describes a couple, by way
of examples of many:
"I had expected to find Santa Cruz
merely an Indian village, but as I ap
proached it, the church seemed to me an
imposing stricture. After getting a
glimpse of it we struck into a bit of
woodland, and when we again emerged
into the open plain, I saw only some
p aim-covered nuts and whitewashed cot
tages. I saw also a number of fisher
men, barefooted, bronzed women, in
flounced red, yellow and orange-colored
gowns, and here and there was a black
vestured Portuguese, with a white neck
cloth. But there was no church to be
seen. It had vanished. And yet I could
not have been mistaken. I had observed
it clearly. The facade was in the usual
South American style; it was painted
white, and in that clear air one can see
a fly a hundred feet off.
"Where, in the name of Santa Cruz,
is the church !' I asked of my guide. By
ay of reply, he pointed to a dead wall,
not more than three feet thick. I shook
my head, and cried out, 'No; I mean
the church which I saw a few minutes
ago.' He laughed, and a few more steps
cleared np the mystery. The church
which,' seen from the front, looked like
an imposing structure, was only a dead
wall, a yard thick, buttressed np, but
witnont vestige oi side wans, rear, or
roof. This wall was really all there was
of it. Several steps led np to the portal ;
passing whioh, as many more led yon
down into a hut, not much larger than
the others in the village, and like t em
utterly devoid of all attempts at archi
tectural ornament.
Another sham structure was the treas
ury building of a considerable town. Its
facade is by no means devoid of preten
sion, but the front is ail there is of it.

Roumanian Town and Cities.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
of Roumania ta the enormous difference
between the villages and the towns of
moderate size, as well as of the cities.
Louis Blano says that in Franoe there is
an abyss between the city and country;
and this would certainly seem to be the
case in the Wallachian principality. The
towns are full of activity, and in cer
tain kinds of trade manifest real energy,
but five miles from any town most of
the villages are semi barbaric No
Roumanians whom I met could give me
the true reason for this fact. They spoke
with discouraged tone of the burdens of
war and the slow progress of education
consequent npon the poverty of the
country. But it must not be supposed
that Roumania is indifferent to the
cause of national education. The con
stitution provides for a liberal primary
instruction, and renders it compulsory

to keep their children steadily at work
as soon as they are strong enough to go
afield, rather than to accord them time
to study. There were, nevertheless, but
a few years since nearly sixty-five thou
sand children frequenting rural primary
schools, and twenty-seven thousand were
receiving elementary education in city
schools. Instruction in Roumania is
divided, as in France, into three grades
primary, secondary and superior or
professional. In the highest grade the
Roumanians have nnmerons establish
ments which will bear favorable
comparison with similar ones in other
lands.
The khan, the monastery and the
