Pro?. O. JTMood: Dear Sir: In the latter part of the
year 18i2iJBiHe attending the State and National Law
School .of » State of Now York, my hair, from a causd
unknown hTme, commenced falling off very rapidly, so
that in the (hort Bpace of six months, the whole upper
part of m) Scalp was almost entirely bereft of its cover
ing and rci»Th of the remaining portion upon the side
and back it of my head shortly after became gray sso
that you yill not be surprised when I tell you that, upon
my retiir.? to the State of Indiana, my more.casual ac-
were not so much at a loss to discover the
cause, ©ft*! change in my appearance, as my more inti
tnat# ftcf|UfihtancPs were to recognize mo at all.
I at ouftmade application to tae most skilfal physi
cians in t* country, but, receiving no assurance from
them that fey hair could again be restored, I was forced
to to my fate, until, fortunately* in
the Jattef/port of the year 1857, your Restorative waa
recommefifecl to me bj- a druggist, a a being the most
reliable Htir fiostorative in use. I tried one bottle, and
found to ay great satisfaction that it waa producing the
desired effect. Since that time 1 have used seven dol
lars' wortl of your Restorative, and &b a result, have a
ricli-coat‘jf very soft black hair, which no money can

Several acres of playgrounds are attached to the Semi

vicious habits, kindliness and purity of intercourse
among the pupils are insured by the constant presence of
teachers, encouraging them both in their sports and their
studies. Latin, Greek, and Mathematic?, together with
the English branches, and French, are thoroughly
taueht. In short, every effort is made to give the pupils
• fourfold and complete education.

For Pnpils who spend Saturday and SundAy at home 100
For Day-hoarding Pupils, who spend the nights at]

House and Street Begging.
The Municipal authorities are bound to call
in the aid of the police, if necessary, to put
down the nuisance of street-begging. Va
grants go from door to door, in the respectable
Streets, ringing the bel! as if they owned the
house, sometimes actually refusing food, aud
protesting against the « meanness ” of giving
them anything bnt money. In some streets,
where the inhabitants are presumed to be well
ofT, it would almost keep one servant occupied
nil the day long in answering the bell for these
saucy mendicants. Another class, female as
well as male, itinerate with begging letters—
the envelopes addressed «To the Ladies of
this house,” and are abusive if they do not
obtain immediate and liberal relief—they usu
ally despise any contribution under ten cents.
We lately heard of a case, told us by a reliable
party, where a lady who was induced to see
one of these letter-beggars, said she was sorry
she had no change, and the mendicant, pulling
out a neat porte-monnaie, coolly said, “ That
need not prevent your relieving me, for I can
change a note for you.” There is another set
who leave packages of needles, tapes, &c., at
the door, moderately charging twenty-five
' ecu I s for a lot worth about a third of the mo
ney, who Wro . -wv indignant, indeed, if their
packages he returned, next day, unpur
chased. Persons who go about books
in numbers, insist on leaving specimens wiftr
your servant, call again in a week, and, when
you do not buy, stoutly declare that you have
not returned the whole of their rubbish. A
better-dressed class—if males, usually wearing
limp white « chokers,” and shabby mourning,
if females—appear just respectable enough to
be admitted by thoughtless servants into par
lors, where, while some member of the family
is being called down, any “ unconsidered tri
fles” are picked up, and the applicant gene
rally lets himself or herself out, without wait
ing for relief. Certain quasi-respectable folks,
generally smartly-dressed females, ring the
door-bell, inquire for the master or mistress of
the house by name, and are so impressive and
determined, that there is no putting them off
—these have memorandum-books in their
hands, and go to work in quite ..a business
manner, soliciting relief for a poor family, or
demanding a contribution towards refresh
ment-saloons for the soldiers, or insisting, on
your allegiance as a Christian, that you hand
them a subscription for missionary enterprise
in Spitzbergen, Timbuctoo, or Borrioboola-
Gha.
The more general and annoying description
©f mendicity, the recent increase of which
must have struck every person, is that prac
tised by children in the streets. A well
dressed person—especially a well-dressed
gentlewoman—cannot walk a single block in
Chestnut street, or any other place of much
public resort, without being persecuted by j
little ragamuffins of both sexes, who whine for j
relief, and will not be put off with a refusal. ;
They run along by your side, your garments :
not improved in odor or cleanliness by being '
thus rubbed against their filthy rags, and their !
importunities to he got rid of only by money.
It is almost impossible to enter a store, in any
business part of the city, without being fol
lowed into it by one or more of these little ra- |
grants, who pester you with petitions for relief, j
nnd who, in ninety-nine cases out of a bun- j
dred, are not real objects for Charity to care !
for, but regularly-trained beggars—sometimes
pickpockets, as well—who are sent out, day
after day, thus to collect money for idle aud
vicious parents, who expend it in rum.
It would be a public benefit to put a stop tq
this execrable nuisance of >»uot ami street
earnestly draw the Mayor’s
attention to it. He has but to give a few plain
orders to the police, and it m»_y_be
in three days.
Seventh Judicial District.
[For The Press. |
Mb. Editor : On several occasions recent
ly I have observed that you strongly urge
upon tlie Union men of Bucks and Montgomery
counties the propriety of nominating the Hon.
Henry Chapman, for the position of presiding
judge of the district, as some acknowledgment
of his consistent and patriotic support of the
Government in its hour of danger. Your
estimate of Judge Chapman’s loyalty and de
votion to the country is correct, and no man’s
patriotism can be more Highly estimated than
is his by those who know his present standing.
Your paper of Wednesday last contained an
editorial article having reference to the city
judiciary, in which you justly say that it
is the wisest and best course for citi
zens to give their support to those who
are known to be sound and. upright
judges, and earnestly commend the advantages
of experience and learning over the claims of
political aspirants. Mow, if this course is
right in Philadelphia, it is equally proper in
Bucks and Montgomery—counties that for ten
years past have had justice administered by a
hand that knows neither fear nor partiality.
I have no special friendship for Judge
Srnyser, yet I can hear witness, without hesi
tation, to" his legal acquirements, his untiring
industrv, and liis incorruptible honesty. Not
a word of suspicion has ever been breathed
against his name. In loyalty td tlie country,
he is the peer of any of us. In politics, he
has never been obnoxious to any party ; in
fact, it is scarcely known how he has voted
since the beginning of his term of office. He
is yet in the vigor of life, and competent to
discharge the laborious duties of his station
for rnanv rears to come. Why, then, should
we change? Bather let us, as you say, by
voting for the Bench as it is 3 ec let well enough
alone*”
As to Judge Chapman, the friends of the
Government in Bucks county would gladly
tender him their nomination for the State
Senate—a situation which his acknowledged
talents would adorn, and which would afford a
noble theatre for the exercise of his ardent de
votion to the cause of the Union.
Respectfully,
Doylestown, Sept. 12,1861.
From Cairo.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
Monday, Sept. 9,1861.
Your correspondent, thinking a trip to Pa- j
ducali and a description, however limited and i
meagre, would be equally acceptable to your
self and readers, made the initiatory move for
accomplishing his desire by getting on the
transport steamer Des Moines, in which was
Colonel Hecker’s Illinois Hegiment. While
moving around among the soldiers, the very
unwelcome news was Drought, “ Tire order is
countermanded; the boat is to go to Bird’s
Point.” I was very much astonished at the
change, and could not for a moment doubt
that the sudden death-blow to their hopes of
fighting one of their adopted country’s battles
was a very sad one to the German regiment;
but so well disciplined are they, that not one
word of censure did I hear. It was evident,
•not long after, that there had been still another
cmntß'mand; for, instead of going to Bird’s
Point, they were landed on the Kentucky
shore, about a mile below this place. Upon
inquiry, I found that the Illinois, another
transport steamer, was the one in which to go
to Paducah. “Winding my toilsome way”
towards the Illinois, in a few moments bag i
and baggage, self, &c., were safely deposited j
in the captain’s room. !
Colonel Hall’s Seventeenth Illinois Volun- ;
teer Bogiment, Buell’s Battery, and Lieutenant '
Colonel Peckham’s detachment of the Missouri
Eighth American Zouaves, artillery horses, !
cannon, and all the necessary camp equipage |
of so largea body of men, occupied the steamer i
and her tow, the Luillu. Everything was in
admirable disorder and confusion. Mirth and j
fun seemed to he the order of the day. Every ■
soldier’s heart beat high in anticipation of a
struggle severe and well touglit at raaiicali. j
While admiring their combativeness, who >
should stand before me but Captain G. W. j
Graham, commander of the boat and prince of
all good fellows. My reception was hearty,
and for a few moments all thoughts of the
prospected trip were forgotten. Countermand 1
| being the order of the day, we were now told
| that the previous order was revoked, and that
the order was to go to Bird’s Point. In a few
j moments I was introduced to Lieutenant Colo
i nel Peckham, of the Missouri Eighth Zouaves.
The Colonel is a gentleman, and a thorough
soldier. He gave me an account of an expe
dition from which he had just returned, in
Missouri, around Benton and Commerce. It
appears that quite a number of the Seces
sionists of that region had made themselves
peculiarly obnoxious to all good Union men
by maltreating them, destroying their pro
perty, and in other ways making it quite
dangerous for a Union man to remain in that
region' of country. Accordingly, .with a de
tachment of his command, the lieutenant
colonel matched out from Cape Girt&deau,
and in the course of his tramp made ittjgene--
rally understood that Uncle Sam was not to be
ill-treated in any way, nor any of his children.
He found on ejentlman of strong Secession
proclivities, to whom be administered th®oath,
and also, to make an example, administered
on the portable and useful portion flf his
estate. The boys complimented his chickens
very highly as' they sat around their femp
fires. To show to aU the way in which “ Uncle
Sam deals with erring children, I giy| you
the oath below which was administered to
Albert G. English in return for his present of
the chickens: j
“ I, Albert G. English, of my own free wiß and
accord, and without the least hesitation or i&ntal
reservation whatever, do hereby solemnly swoarthat
I will bear true and faithful allegiance to the
United States Government, and that never by
word, thought, or deed, will countenance, aid; or
nbet any seditious or traitorous ‘attempt to .wpsisfc
the authority of said Government, or in the uonst
manner to assist those who are trying to destroy it.
I also swear that I wit! sustain and acknowledge
Hamilton R. Gamble as the lawfully constituted
Governor of the State of Missouri. Ido this with
the full understanding that any violation of this
obligation will involve mv own personal destruc
tion and the confiscation of all my property.

deau, lately under the control of the Zou
aves, who rapidly changed the tenor
“ leaders.” Having disembarked Buell-s Bats
tery, we joined the Des Moines on the
tucky shore. A miracle had been wrought.!
A large spat e, but tiro hours before covere'di*
with noble forest trees, now lay open before
us, and the sound of two hundred axes, sitih
cutting, and clearing, and trimming the faMf
trunks, gave ample evidence of the cause of
the rapid decline in timber. In a short thud
our boat was almost entirely deserted. Butf
step! The stillness of doatli reigns; beloAr*
us, about four miles, is a boat rapidly lowering
the Secession (lag. Speculation is rife. Tlie
deathly stillness is becoming painful, when it
is rapidly whispered, from group to group,
the Yankee. But a few days before, one of ;
our gunboats, the Lexington, Capt. Stimblej i
reconnoitring, gave chase to this Yankee, j
and soon ran her under the protection of the !
batteries at Hickman, and came away after
throwing a few shells into the town.
Capt. Stinible, cautious and wily as a fox,
lets his boat drop down toward her, in hopes
of drawing her up within range of the batte
ries on the Missouri side. But the Yankee,
with the shrewdness of a Falstaft* thinking
“ prudence the better part of valor,” takes to
her heels, and is not again seen.
Immediately the work commences with re-,
doubled vigor. Trees are cleared off and pul
leys rigged, and in a very short time the heavy
stores and ordnance are up the steep bank,,
and ready to do good service. And lo ! up ■
comes the Government boat B, with a part of
the Missouri Eighth, about to start for Pa
ducah, with a hurrah. Traps are .gathered,
up, aud in a very short time we are off. Cheer* 1

The National Fast in Pennsylvania.
Bishop Potter, of the Protestant Episcopal Church)
has issued the following address
To the Clergy akd Coxoregatiovs otuTsa
Diocese of Pennsylvania:— My- Bear Bret/fi
ren: The President of the United States, moved by ;
his own sense of duty, and by the request of both j
Houses of Congress, has designated the last ThurS- 't
day in September (the 26th inst.) as a day of “Hu- j
miliation, Prayer, and Fasting for all the people of
the nation.” He earnestly recommends that the (
day be observed in all families and churches with
religious solemnity, and with a deep sense of our ■
sins as a nation, of our sore distress and danger in ]
this hour of our trial, and of our intimate depend- '
ence upon the Divine care and protection. 1
At no period of our history could such an oh- i
servance be more proper. Our greatest sin is for- j
getfulness of Hod; our greatest peril presumptuous |
truat in qqr sj?,n wisdony and
in jeopardy; a Union which
could destroy totters to I
with whioh we thought to defy the worM fa£e"m ;
themselves wings and fly away. Our reliance on !
the God of Nations and of Battles needs to be re- j
vived and strengthened J and where can this be
done but at the footstool of the Divine Mercy ?' :
Let us, then, brethren, hasten to the throne of the
Heavenly Grace in our vioo*to, m our families, and
in' the sanctuary, and implore of God that He do not
forget or forsake us in this our sin, but that He
bring us to repentance and a better mind. And on
.this <jay, set apart by the highest civil authority,
let us assemble in our respective places of worship,
and pour out our hearts before the Lord.
Ou this diocese, it is peculiarly incumbent at this
time to mourn and to supplicate for Heavenly
grace. One who was over you in the Lord—who
■had won yonr affection and respect—who had gone
in and out before you, bearing nis office so meekly,
so unselfishly, so diligently—who, with open hand
and sympathizing heart, had ministered, with al
most prodigal generosity, to the needy among clergy
and laity —who was ever about bis Master’s busi
ness—this, your beloved assistant bishop, has been
suddenly stricken from his work, and translated to
the rest of God’s people. He mourned, with all a
Christian’s and all a patriot’s heart, over the ca
lamities and distractions of oar land. His prayers
went up, unceasingly, that it might win back the
lost blessings of peace and union, and above all,
that it might be baptized in the spirit of true hu
mility and faith. He has been taken away in the
midst of his vigor and usefulness, and when we had
looked for long years of beneficent and faithful ac
tivity. We have need, then, as a diocese, to pros
trate ourselves before the Divine Majesty, and to
implore its guidance and help in this hour of our
bereavement.
And shall we net offer some testimonial of affco
tion to his memory, and of zeal for the work to
which his heart and hands were given ? He died
on the banks of the beautiful Alleghany, when on
his way to the population which has been attracted
to the shores of that river, in the counties of Butler,
Venango, and Warren. The teeming multitudes
which have gathered there of late, and who are
almost without spiritual privilege, deeply moved
and attracted him, and nothing would have de
lighted him more than to have raised, had God
given him the means, a church among them at his
own expense.
I propose, then, that the people of this diocese
undertake this work as a memorial of his worth,
and of their affectionate veneration for his char-,
acter. Let a church be erectednn the banks of the
Alleghany, somewhere between Kittanning and
Warren, or at the latter place, as shall be hereafter
determined upon mature consideration, to stand
forever as the Bishop Bowman Memorial Church,
and :iet this piouß work be that of ail the congre
fations throughout this diocese. Especially would
commend it- to those of our number who, during
the past three years, hare received at his hands the
rite of confirmation.
Bucks.
I propose, further, that we begin this work of
taking up offerings for it on the fast day herein
recognized, viz : tne 26th day of September, and
that on that occasion, in every congregation, op
portunity be given to the people to contribute, as
God hath blessed them, to testify at once their de
votion to the God of their fathers, their respect
for the memory of one of his honored servants, and
their desire to extend to those who need it the
Gospel of his grace.

I shall notice them very briefly. Barley is

average in bulk, but will be an average, J think
in yield, and the sample will be exceedingly fair.

The Electric Telegraph.—Another great ele
ment of our present civilization is beginning to
make signs of its existence in the South Kensing
ton Museum. We allude to the electric telegraph.
Bakewell’s copying machine is one of the most in
teresting of this class, as it brings beforetbe public
eye the means that can be employed to-write with
a pen thousands of miles in length. If the Atlantic
cable were in working order, for Instance, a man
through its instrumentality could sit down, to write
a letter in London, and feel certain that a fac
simile of. hi* handwriting was at the same moment
coming out of the telegraph office at New York.
The manner in. which this astounding machine
works is as follows: The message is originally
written on a conducting material, such as tinfoil,
with resin or some non-conduoting ink. Over the
faee of this letter, which is placed on a cylinder, a
point of metal revolves—this point is in connection
with the conducting wire; at New Y'ork, say, a
piece of ehymically-prepared paper is placed on a
like cylinder to receive the message; both cylin
ders are made to move round by clockwork. As
the point at this end of the wires passes over the
non-condueting resin writing no current passes;
hence the point which moves synonymously with it
at New York does not change the color of the pa
per, but, all the other surface of the writing tablet
being a conductor, the currents pass and deepen its
color by a chymical action on the far-distant record
ing tablet. The receiver thus obtains a perfect
facsimile of his correspondent’s handwriting done
in white upon a blue ground. Specimens of this
electrical handwriting are placed beside the tele
graphic machine in the museum at Kensington, and
afford an admirable example of the caligraphy of
the lightning pen.— Once a Week.
The Fikst Steamboat.—We have not far to
look for the first germ of steam navigation. That
huge model, which appears to be a combination of
two funnels, and a number ef chains working over
wheels, is the patent marine engine. As early as
the year 1787, Patrick Miller, of Dalswinton, Scot
land, engaged himself in making experiments with
double and treble boats, which he propelled by
means of wheels placed between them worked by
manual labor; in the following year he induced
Symington, an engineer at Wemock Head, to apply
to it a marine steam engine he had invented. This
engine propelled the boat along Dalswinton Lake
at the rate of five miles an hour. This was un
doubtedly the first attempt ever made to use steam
as the motive power in a vessel, although it was
not the first practical steamboat. The engine
which belongs to the earliest history of that inven
tion is what is called an atmospheric engine—that
is, the piston is raised by the action of steam, and
then it is forced down by atmospheric pressure.
The history of this ourious parent of steam naviga
tion is worthy noting. After the trial in the boat
the engine was removed to Mr. Miller’s library,
where ft remained until his death in 1815; in 1838
it was sent by his son, packed in a deal cose, to
Messrs. Coutts & Co., in the Strand, where it re
mained until 1837, and finally it found its way to a
plumber’s in Edinburgh, who flung it aside with
the purpose of melting it. However, the model
was rescued from destruction in 1855, and >Y»s re
stored to its former working condition by Messrs.
Penn & Son in 1857. — Once a Week.
AJUinon Hue nf regular steam communication
has just been established irum w
and Glasgow, and it will perhaps be extended to
Dublin.
There has been a mutiny at the Dunennnon i
Fort, which commands the mouth of the Suir.
The Waterford Mail states that a party of the
Royal Artiliory arrived in Waterford by the Tin.
tcnit Duncannon steamer, with fifteen of tho mu
tineers—fourteen gunners and one bombardior —on
their way to Cork, where they are to be tried by
court-martial, with fifteen others of the same bat
tery., who had been previously sent thither under
an escort of fifty men.
A prosecution has been commenced, by order
of the Government, against thirty-eight of the ap
prentice boys of Derry, for a breach of the party
emblems act upon the occasion of the recent cele
bration of the anniversary of the shutting of the ;
gates.
Tin: Bisnopim or Durham —The see of Dur
ham, vacant by the death of the Hon. and Bight
Rev. Dr. Yilliers, has beeu offered to Dr. Charles
Baring. Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, who ac
cepts the appointment.
Dn. Thomson, of Queen’s College, Oxford, will
be the new Bishop ot Gloucester and Bristol. He
entered Queen’s College in 1836 as a commoner; in
1847 he gained a scholarship, and took his degree
of B. A. in 1810. InlS42he published his boob,
[- Outline of the Taws of Thought? 1 whien
has since gone through five editions, and has been
reprinted in America, and which gave him a very
high position among logicians. In 1843 he pro
ceeded to the degree of M. A., and successively
became Fellow, Tutor, Dean, and Bursar of the
College. In 1849 and 1855 ho was appointed Se
! lect Preacher, and in 1853 Bampton Lecturer, and
the crowded church at each of his sermons proved
how much his lectures were appreciated by the
University. The course was published in 1854, un
der the title of The Atoning Work of Christ.
Dr. Thomson also published—as we glean from
CreehfonV s Clerical Directory —several pam
phlets, An Open College Best for Ail; Scrip
tural Teaching the Safeguard againt Crime;
The Law and the Gospel (the two last assize ser
mons) ; and The Transfiguration. On the resig
nation of Dr. Baring (now Bishop of Durham) he
j was appointed reotor of All Souls' Langham-plaoe,
and shortly afterwards was elected Provost of
Queen’s, and took the degree of B. D. and D. 1).
! in 1856. In 1858 he was elected, preacher to the
I Hon. Society .of Lincoln’s inn. an office of high dis
! Unction. He succeeded the Rfcv. James Anderson,
who, ot the time of his'section, was a popular
TWO CENTS.
preacher at Brighton, and chaplain to the Queen
Dowager. On the final ballot Dr. Thomson was
declared first, Archdeacon Otter second, and Dr.
Goulburn third. Dr. Thomson was then declared
elected', and commenced his duties in the chapel
of the fan on the following Sunday, ft is the
duty of the Preacher' to deliver a sermon in the
ehapel every Sunday morning during term, the
other services being performed' by a chaplain.
During Dr. Thomson's tenure of the-office the cbn■
pel has nlwnyp been crowded duiiag- term, and
frequently even,standing room has not been found
by those who were anxious to hear him. He has
also been for thr.ro years one of - the Chaplains in
Ordinary to the Queen, and ter recently published
a volume of “ Lincoln's-inn Sermons.” Ist. Thom
son is a Delegate of the University Press and also
of the Museum.
Tiie Bishop or Worcester.— ln consequence
of the elevation of the Kight Rev. Dr. Baring, to
the Bishopric of Durham, the Right Rev. Henry
Philpott, D. D., Lord Bishop of Worcester, will
take his scat in the Home of Lords, and 1 perform,
the duties of junior Bi.-hcq), (hitherto discharged
by the Lord Bishop of Carlisle), of readtng.prayen
daily in the House of Lords before the sitting.
Dr. Thomson, Bishop of Gloucester and'Bristol,
will have no seat in the Lords unless a vacanrey oc

York, London, Durham, and Winchester.
FRANCE,
Tiie Monitcnr says: “Mr. Roebuck, member
of the British Parliament, has lately asserted, in n
speech ho made at Sheffield, that he knew of a
conventson, according to which the island of Sar
dinia will be eventually ceded to France. Wc c-p
-pose to this assertion a formal denial. Hot only
has the document denounced by Mr. Roebuck no ex
istence, but even the thought of entering into ne
gotiations on this subject with the Cabinet at Turin
never entered into the head of the Government of
the Emperor."
A Pams leteeh in the tndipeudance Beige
says : It is affirmed that the Princess Ctotiide is
in an interesting condition, and that on that account
her Imperial Highness will probably return to
France before the grince, in fec-avecl
prolonging his excursion in America.
The Monitewr contains a report from the Min
ister of Marine to the Emperor on the insufficiency
of the number of officers in the imperial nary. The
minister proposes to increase the number of officers
within the current year by ten captains of men-of
war, twenty captains of frigates, fifty lieutenants,
aDd twenty-five midshipmen. He adds that thi3
increase will not he sufficient, and declares his
conviction that a similar increase will have to be
made next year. The Emperor approves of the
proposition.
mombor of the imperial i family, it
said to be on the tapis . The lady is the Princess
Ann Murat, who, it is said, is to be transplanted
into the royal Swedish parterre. Prince Oscar has
been wrongly pointed out by rumor as the bride
groom. This prince is married and has two chil
dren. His younger brother, Prince Nicholas, is
still a bachelor.
The oi'E.vivg of the Consoil General for the
deportment of the Pay de Dome took place under
the Presidency of Count de Morny, who in hie
opening speech, which treated only of home ques
tions, said: “The internal embarrassments of al
most all the Powers, and, above all, the words of
the Emperor Jiapoleon, remove all apprehension
of any war breaking out in which France could be
engaged. France must direct her efforts towards
labor.’’
Those who have never seen an illumination in
Paris may, perhaps, like to know a few of the
statistics of the 15th August. It is said that 25,000
colored lamps were used to light the esplanade of
the Invalicles; 30,000 at the Road-point, the cir
cular place around the fountain in the Champs
Elystes; 30,000 for the avenues; 100,000 for the
place in which stands the great Arc de Triomphe;
and in all 550,000 lamps. As regards the fireworks,
the great frame-piece which represented the Sum
mer Palace of the Emperor of China measured a
I hundred yards in length; the great bouquet is said
to have comprised 20.000 rockets; and the con
cluding display consisted of 400 bombs of various
colors. The cost is not stated.
Hebe is a pretty story concerningthe Prince Im
perial ; His Highness, on the morning of tbelGth of
August, took a walk alone within the boundaries of
the imperial quarters, and, approaching the stand
ard, examined the flag with serious attention. It
belonged to a regiment that had been both in the
Crimea and in Italy, and bore the marks of severe
service. The captain of the guard, thinking that
his Imperial Highness wished to have a nearer view:
of the flag, lowered it, and then, taking the Prince
in his arms, raised him to a level with the eagle on
the top. The youthful warrior, by a spontaneous
movement, immediately took the tattered trophy
between his little hands, and pressed it to hi? lips,
It is impossible, we are told, to express the emotion
which seized upon those present at this touching
scene, at the conelnsion of whieh they saluted the
Prince with enthusiastic acclamations, and his In' j
perial Highness retired greatly delight !

The Supply of "Water nr Paris. —According
to the report made by the commission of inquiry
relative to the waters of the Dhuis, it appears that
Saris is one of the places most poorly supplied
with water, the quantity being only ninety litres
per head and per day, while the normal quantity is
eonsidered to he one hundred and fifty. Borne is
the most highly favored in this respect, receiving
nine hundred and forty'four litres per head every
day; next come in succession, as regards quantity—
New York, five hundred and sixty-eight litres;
Carcassone, four hundred; Besancon, two hundred
and forty-six; Dijon, two hundred and iorty; Mar
seilles, one hundred and eighty-six; Bordeaux,
one hundred and seventy; Genoa, one hundred
and twenty; Glasgow, one hundred; London,
ninety-five. Deducting from the quantity for
Paris of ninety litres the quantity for public foun
tains and watering streets, 4c., there only remains
thirty-five litres of potable water per day for each
inhabitant.

the sum of 200,60 b francs was left to a relative,

RUSSIA.
The Russian Government has just promulgated j
two ukases, which will effect important reforms. |
By one a tax is established on the manufacture of j
brandies and spirituous liquors, in place of farm- '
ing out the right of selling them, which has hither- 1
to existed in that country, and which has still t j
last for two years. The revenue from farming out
was one of the most important items in the Russian
budget, but the contractors being interested in ob- j
taimng the largest consumption of brandy, em- i
ployed all means of promoting habits of drunken- ;
ness among the people. By the new ukase the tax ;
on brandies will be at the rate of four roubles the
twelve litres, (lGf. the three gallons,) and retailers |
will have to pay for licenses. The second ukase :
augments the tax on tobacco from the 12th of Janu- !
ary, 1863.

of Counsellor Brentano, for a loan of seven millions
sterling, at seven per cent., and all the talk about
constitutionalism was merely,meant to bolster up
