FROM TIIE OLD WORLD. XO-JTDO.V THRONQED WITH TOURISTS „ Zforar FOR PARIS. \, Hanjr Phim of Mlamanagoment do not Prevent the Exposition Being • Very Big Show—Red Tapa One of the An noying Ifeaturee In Connection With It—home Exhibitors Dlegruntled. LONDON, £L tl have just re turned from the Paris exposition and now that the first fuss about it lias died away. I may turn tfro feathers over a little. London is very full just now, by the way, and the season is in full swing. Birds of passage from tho United States to Paris hotels, and it is clear that tho CAPT, H. O. KANE, OF big ShOW will not H. M. e. CALLIOPE, be a bad thing for this cubital, for most of tho visitors tarry for days or weeks. As to tho exhibition I am under the Impression there has been some mis management or rather lack of manage ment. Tho whole staff of tho University of Commerce and tho immense number of special agents appointed for the exhi bition devoted themselves to tho erec tion and organization of this show for months, or rather for years. Time, money,intelligence,zeal—nothing seemed to be wanting. Yet, when the opening day came, ue exhibition was not ready. Every paper i .d letter relating to this gigantic work was beyond doubt written, sent, received, noted, answered, indorsed and filed, but the object for which all this ink and energy had been oxpended was not attained. Tho ceremony of opening had been workod out with equal minuteness on paper, and with a similar result. The program broke down at every point ".more a strain came. It was a simple ceremony, hut it could not be carried through. The organizers of it allowed for everything but human na ture. They dealt with human beings as if they were so many machines. The president, his staff, his ministers, the delegates of the senate and other great bodies of state were to walk in proces sion through the exhibition or part of it. The publlo were to stand and look on. The public deollned to do anything of the sort. As soon as they saw that the paper program was of paper only they tore it to pieces, broke up the procession, joined it and laughed in the horrified faces of the solemn ushers, whoso silver chains wore the disregarded symbols of public order. That shows one weak sido of the ad ministrative system, as applied to this single day of organized pageantry. Others were not loss visible. It will be agreed that an exhibition without exhibitors would hardly be a greater success than Thier's republic without Republicans. But so great was the desire for symmetry iu the official mind that on the opening day it was not found possible to distin guish between the exhibitors and tho general public. The doors of his own ex hibition were closed in his face. The whole red-tapo system was summed up all unconsciously in the answer of a po lioeman to an innocent exhibitor vainly seeking admission to look after his own goods. "On n' expose pas aujourd' hui." These gentlemen were not thought en titled to any courtesy ; thoy came within no official category. The fact that their property was left at the mercy of an ex cited multitude in no way concerned tho officials responsible for regulating the details of the ceremony. Up to the time of opening exhibitors had pusses. Then these passes ceased to bo vallid. In the caspf American exhibitors, applica tion had been made by the American commission to the proper authorities, and it is supposed that tickets for the open ing of the exhibition will be sent before tho time comes to close it. Meantime, the feeling among exhibitors is that they have been treated with scant courtesy. They have suffered in their feelings, and suffered as they think, in their business interests. It is not to be supposed that the officials of the University of Com merce or of the exhibition itself meant them to suffer in either. The fault is not in the men; it is in the system they ad minister, which does not permit them to turn to the right or left; which has no flexibility, no power of adaptation; makes no allowance for circumstances; expects circumstances to make allowance for it, and to bend, ifWfflfc while the system preserves all its W •rigidity unl m- Mf-' J jpaired. It is P| sometimes the contrary w h i c h happens, and ex-r .jm hibitors are far /grSw / from being the My / j only persons who j y • ' complain. The -'"* I II x. publlo lost pa- v • tienee, as you w. L. WILLIK. have already seen. Even journalists have turned. X have heard many complaints from the most long suffering of the hu man raoe to whom frequent contact with officialism of every sort has made all minor ills easy to boar. Still the fact remains that Paris has a great show and that it is going into rap tures about the Eiffel tower, which is one of the greatest successes as a wonder of the world that the world over wondered at. Ido not at all admit that it is an art heresy. It has the characteristics of ad equacy and slncority. The outlines and arches of the lower story are not seen ad vantageously either from the grounds of the exhibition, or from the neighboring avenues. A great beauty of the tower is the light boldness with which It springs heavenward. One fancies that one almost eees It shooting up. Then it stands so firmly on ita feet, and it gives so strongly the impression of strength. When lighted .tip on tho opening night, and having a three-colored lamp around one of the vast are lights that shone on tho summit, It was a grandiose symbol of tho march of progress since 1789, when Paris was 'almly lighted at night with oil lanterns 'that hung over the middle gutters in the streets, there being then no sideways, and the middle channel nearly always full of unsavory fluid. One cannot help fseling when one looks up at the tower, Or down from no matter whleh of its platforms, that, as M. Chevreul cried the last day he saw It, "Great 1B Sclenoe." It was an ocular proof to the country people >ta a radius of nearly eighty miles, taking nris for the centre, that "Great U the jßspubllc." There was not a single lady admitted to Witness the ceremonial at Versailles. (One saw nothing but mn, some of whom wero girt with tri-colored soar fs, others with tri-colored badges, all wearing the clawhammer oout and wfalte necktie (Which la the evening suit of a gentle man and the working salt of the under taker and the coffeehouse waiter. All the honors wore for the politicians. Madame Carnot and her personal friends and relatives were placed In a gallery round the circular hall In which M. Car not and M. Tlrand delivered the inaugu ral speeches. M. Carnot was In black, but the broad red ribbon of the Legion of Honor gave* a little brightness to his figure. Madame Carnot had a tri-colored dross so well oontrlved as not to look staring. The national colors were, how ever, softened with pink, sky blue and the creamy white of old point lace. Her coat was of blue brooado, her gown of pink, Sevigne satin, and her hat of white lace, trimmed with delicate pink and blue spring flowers. The parasol was made of alternate pieces of blue and white satin, over which there was a softening veil of lace, which was fes tooned with old point at the edges. The daughter of tho president was in pale pink and blue satin, with a white cloak of Nottingham lace. M. Carn.ot Is a shy, gentle-mannered man, though very firm in the discharge of duty, whether disagreeable or agree able. He looked another person at the exhibition. There he displayed a sweet dignity which showed that while lie understood the greatness of his position, ho kept his head level. Tho four horses which drew his carriage were greatly ad mired, and while the carriage was wait ing for tho president, they were stroked and otherwise caressed by all who could got within stroking distance. Beautiful creatures they were, of a light chestnut color, and full of "go." The flattering notice of which they wore the object appeared to please them. They had tri colored ribbons on the head parts of their harness, and rosettos at tho blink ers. The postillions and men servants who sat in the rumble were in blue jackets and coats, faced with red, and white breeches. Tho caps of the postil lions were white, facod with red and blue, und the valets had tri-colored cockades on their hats. Large tri-colored boquets were thrown into the carriage as the president passed under tho viaduct lead ing from the grounds of the Trocadero to those of the exhibition. I send herewith a picture of the public literary and art schools at Cheltenham a handsome building just completed at n cost of £15,000. At the opening cere monies, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said this was an institution happily ass"- ciated with art and science. The result PUBLIC LIBRARY AND SCHOOLS OF ART AND SCIENCE, CHELTENHAM. attained was not altogether from the public subscriptions; but in a town like Cheltenham support could be given not only by money, but by books, whioh could not be always bought. He did not ob iect to novels, and would not refuse them to the working classes, instead of the vicious literature whioh prevailed. W. L. Wyllie, the artist, has been made an associate of the Royal Academy. Among his best-known works, by means of whieh he has steadily won his way to the front rank among the artists of the day, may be mentioned "Northern Lights, "Tracking in Holland," "A Dutch Canal," and others, in which his sympa thy with Dutch scenes and Dutch skies is displayed with considerable effect. A more important work, "Sea Birds," which was exhibited first at the Royal Academy in 1875 and afterwards at Paris in 1878, attracted much notice. His "Port of London," was exhibited at Bur lington House in 1882, and in the follow ing year he created a sensation with his rendering of a part of the Thames, under the title of "Toll, Glitter, Grime and Wealth on a Flowing Tide." The picture was at once purchased by the council of the Royal Academy out of the Chantrey liequest, and was thereby recognized as one of the best pictures of the year. In similar spirit, Mr. Wyllie painted "King Coal," "The River of Gold," and other works, in all of which the dignity ol labor is recognized and realized. I send also a picture of Oapt. Kane, of H. M. S. Calliope, to whom attention was so generally attracted in connection with the Samoa disaster. Capt. Kane at tained his rank in 1882 and woe born in 1845. GEORGE LAMBr.EY.

In handling monoy, especially of paper, door knobs, banisters, ear straps and u hundred things that every one must frequently touch, there are chances innumerable of picking up germs of typhoid, scarlatina, diphtheria, small-pox, etc. Yet some persons actu ally [ml such things in their mouths, if not too large ! Before eating, or touch ing that which is to bo eaten, the hands should be immediately and scrupulously washed. We hear much about general cleanliness as "next to godliness." It may bo added that hero, in particular, it is also ahead of health and safety. The Jews made no mistake in that "except they washed they ate not." It was a san itary ordinance as well as an ordinance of decency. A SIOO,OOO Hook.

In 1512 tho Hobrews of Venice proposed to Pope Ju lius II to buy the bible and to pay for its weight in gold. It was so heavy that It required two men to carry it. Indeed, it weighed 325 pounds, thus representing a Maluo of half a million of francs. £20,000.

Unsuccessful Effort* to Save It—Story of the ' Engineer Who Saw it Go. The following account of the breaking of tho dam, from the lips of John G. Park, Jr., a civil engineer who was en gaged on the grounds of the South Fork club: "On Thursday night the dam was in perfect condition, and the water was not within seven feet of the top. At that stage the lake is nearly three miles long. It rained very hard Thursday night I am told, for I slept too soundly myself to hear it, but when I got up Friday morning I could see there was a flood, for the water was over the drive in front of the club house, and the level of the water in the lake had risen until it was only four feet below the top of the dam. I rode up to the head of the lake and saw that the woods were boiling full of water. South Fork and Muddy Run which emptied into the lake were fetching down trees, logs, cut timber and stuff from a saw mill that was up in the woods in that direction. This was abont 4:30 o'clock. When I re turned Co'. Unger, I lie president of the club, hired twenty-two Italians, and a number of farmers joined in to work on the dam. Altogether thirty men were at worK. A plough was run along the top of the dam, and earth was thrown in the face of the dam to strengthen it. At the same time a channel was dug on the west end of the dam to make a sluiceway there. There was about three feet of shale rock through which it was possible to cut, but then we struck bed rock that it was im possible to get into without blasting. When we got the channel opened, the water soon scoured down to the bed rock, and a stream twenty feet wide and three feet deep rushed out on that eud of the dam, while the weir was letting an enormous quantity on the other end. Notwithstanding these outlets, the water kept rising at the rate of about ten inches an hour. "By 11:30 I had made up my mind that it was impossible to save the dam, and, getting on my horse, I galloped down the road to South Fork to warn the peo ple of their danger. The telegraph tower is a mile from town, and I sent two men there to have messages sent to Johns town and other points below. I heard that the lady operator had fainted when she had sent off news, and had to be car ried off. The people at South Fork had ample time to get to the high grounds, and they were able to move their furni ture too. In fact only one person was drowned at South Fork, and he while at tempting to fish something from the Hood as it rolled by. It was just 12 o'clock when the telegraph messages were sent out, so that the people of Johnstown had over three hours' warning. "As I rode back to the dam I expected almost every moment to meet the lake coming down on me, but the dam was still intact, although the water had reach ed the top. At about 1 o'clock I walked over the dam. At that time the water was three inches deep on it, and was gradually eating the earth on the outer face. As the stream rolled down the outer face it kept wearing down the edge of the embankment, and I saw it was merely a question of time. I then went up to the club house and got dinner, and when I returned I saw that a great deal more of the outer of the dam had crumbled away. The dam did not give way. At a rough guess I should say that there were 60,000,000 tons of water in that lake, and the pressure of that mass of water was increased by floods from two streams pouring into it, but the dam would have stood it could the level of the lake have been kept below the top of of the dam. But the friction of the water pouring over the dam gradually wore it away from the outer face until the top became so thin that it gave way. "The break took place at 3 o'clock. It was about ten feet wide at first and shal low, hut now that the flood had made a gap, it grew wider with increasing rapid ity, and the lake went roaring down the valley. That three miles of water was drained out in forty-five minutes. The downfalls of those millions of tons was simply irresistable. Stones from the dam and boulders in the river bed were car ried for miles. Trees went down like you might cut a mullein stalk with a swish of your cane. It was a terrible sight to see that avalanche of water go down that val ley already choked with floods. Col. Unger was completely prostrated by it and was laid up at the club house sigk from his experiences." Important to Railroad Men A. K. Smith has been for forty-nine years road master on the Boston & Maine system, and Is now residing at Groat Falls, N. H. He says track men, brakemen, firemen, engineers and con ductors, as well as baggage masters and ex pressmen, are subject to kidney disease above all others. All, therefore, will be Interested In the statement of his experience. " I have used Brown's sarsaparilla for kidney and liver troubles, and can truly say It has done more for me than all the doctors I ever employed, and I have had occasion to require the services of the best physicians In the Slate. My wife also has been greatly benefitted by Its use. A. K. SMITH. Road Master B. & M. It. K." The kidneys have been labored hard all win ter, as the pores of the skin have been closed, but now the springtime has come, and they need some aid. May be you have that pain across ilio back ; that tired feeling; those drawing down pains, if so, you can get Immediate relief by following the exumpleof Mr. smith and his wife, and use that never-falling and grand corrector for the kidneys, liver and blood, BROWN'S Sarsaparilla.
