For nearly a quarter of a century Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Rewedy hus been acknowledged by the veople as a positive cure for all eatarrhal affec- tions. Its great popujarity with physicians and vatients, together with its constantly increasing sule, attests, in arguments stronger than words, its healing power. If there be general or nery- ous debility and impoverished blood, Dr. Picrce’s Golden Medical Discovers should be used in conuection with the Catarrh Remedy.

AMERICANS IN PARIS. Parls Correspondence New York \¥arld, A stranger arriving in Paris at this moment would find it hard to believe the reports con- cerning the hard tunes.. The streets are literal- Iy crammmed with people, the booths on the boulevards are crowded with purchasers, and the amount of money spent is enormous. At the theatres the receipts are very large, the fashionable restaurants are daily crowded, and there can be no doubt that at present the peo- ple have no cause for grumbling. Workmen of every craft have ample employment getting ready for the Exhibition, and although the tom- plaining of hard times scems in some instances tohave become chronic, if you wish to get any. work done you are forced to wait a long time, beeause the fournisseurs have all the orders they can flll, T believe that since the settlement of the political crisis 4 vast number of strangers have poured into Paris; hence the increased activity to be noticed ou all sides. ‘Chere was o time when Paris was a cheap residence; now, however, prices range very high.

We spead moncy too freely, and our women are too extravagant in dress. Even those who have no equipages will have ?‘usz such toilets as Parisian Jadics who possess the most elegant carriaves. Many American ladies will wear in the strect, trailing along the dirty pavement, expensive dresses which o Ereuch lady only wears in a carrlage or a salon, Of course, I do not refer to those Amerieans who come here, the Lord only kuows from what part of the United States, and who gather at the cheap boarding-hotses or feed at Mme.

LIFE IN ITALY. Bavard Taylor in New York Tribune. The Itahans live very simply. The country people - are content with 2 diet which most American farmers wouid despise. They have four necessaries of life, the supply of which is always first considered~bread, maccaront, oil, and wine. The ordinary bread is coarse ana rather durk, but decidedly more nutritious than that made from our finely-bolted American flour. We imagine that bread is good in pro- portion as it is white, and thus lose much of its best proverty. The Italians sometimes cook maccaroni in salt and water, from necessity; Dut, whenever possible, iu meat and broth, with the addition of cheese and tomatoes. The olive oil, which each farmer makes tor himselr, is far better and wholesomer than lard; in fact, it is almost équal to fresh butter. Whatever is fried in it Is sweet, palatable, and easily digr ed. A great many Americans, knowing olive oil only as a medicine, shudder when they bhear it spoken of as an article of food. Yet I have often seen them, in Italy, heartily relishing their chops, and omelettes, and fried fist, without the Ieast suspiciun of the tact that much of the flavor was due to the oil. Wine is 2 universal article of consumption for man, woman, and child. ~ Yetthere is very little intemperance among the people—certainly ‘not more than one-teuth of what we find in our own countrs. Wine, ouions, and oil, to a great ex- tent, supply the_place of meat; but cags and ish are also plentiful, and usually cheap. ‘The flesh of pigs and goats—the raising of both animals being littie expensetoeven the smallest land-owners—is much more common than veal orbeef. Old or disabled horses are fattencd and slaughtered, and many- an unconscious visitor to Rome. Naples, or Florence, takes his share of roasted horse in the restaurants. Atter a little experience L learned to distinguish the flesh. and baving no prejudice against the use of it, I frequently ordered it for diuner. It has a coarser grain than beef and a slightly paler colur; the tavoris similar, but with 2 suggest- tion of swectness. If the horse be not tvo vld, e furaishes a really palatable roast. The people work” steadily, but not with haste or energy: and they take their full share of the many holidays whica their' Chiurch allows them.

Parls Correspondence Philadelphia Telegraph., France has lost a true, though erratic, génius by the demise of the painter Courbet. He died in exile, under the pressure of a condemaation to pay for the rebuilding of the Vendome Col- umn, with whose overthrow his name will ever be indissolubly connected. And yet it is said that be was not the instigator of that deed of vandalism, though in au evil hour tor himself he consented to superintend the operations. An erratie and daring junovatorin art, his works are Jess known in the United States than they de-. serve to be. Few artists better than he could seize the salient points of a landscape,—its indi- viduality, so to speak. He 1eft a stamp of force and of originality on the very slightest of his works, mere sketclies, some of them, of stormy seas or shadowy woodland scenes. Ile treates the situplest, theme in a large and powerful way that at once arrested and compelled atiention. Tontesaw a small picture by him represent- ing o streteh of wrey, glistening Ueach, u waste of leaden waves beyond, and over all a red, burning sunset sky. Nothing else—ncither boat, nor shops, nor fishermen—only a stray sea-gull poised above the waters. Yet the picture beld you, not with the weird fascination of such a scene from the pencil of Dore, but by an attractiveness that was all its own. % Personully, Courbet was a sort of artistic Al- exander Dumas, overflowing with health, vitali- ty, and anfmal spirits. He scemed destined for o' long aud busy life, and he was but 58 when he dicd. Unfortunately, his addiction to beer- drinking brougkt ou the malady (dropsy) which ended his life thus prematurely, For he drank beer, not only to excess, but in'literal fioods.

To- wards the last he becume 2 confirmed drinker of absinthe, mixing that opernicious liguor, uot with water as is the usual custom, but with white wine. The effect of such a beverage on bis already dumaged constitution can readily be imagined. He became swollen with an enormous corpulence, and dropsy sct in soon, complicated with a disease of the T, The operation of tapping was resorted to with- out affording any permanent relief.

M I am told that much of Courbet’s excesses in his later days were caused bv the pangs of homesickness and by the influence of the exiled Communists, the Towest class of which con- tinually surroundea him, and to whom hispurse and his_home were ever open. ‘Then would come wild orgies at low drinking shops whereof Courbet paid the expense, and after which he would be carried home in a state of total insen- sibility. A mournful cnding to one so gitted. IIOW ISABELLA WAS SOLD. Paris Correspondence Loston Adrertiser. The bistory of how Queen [sabella came to buy I'Hotel Basilewski, Avenue du Roide Rome, chances to be known to me. It is probable that even her Majesty ignores the trick played upon her, and it is knowu to very few. As Ican vouch for its authenticity, my rcaders may, perhaps. like to kuow that sharpers exist in Fraoce as well as in America. My story runs thus: Mon- sieur X (who deserves to have his name written in full) was perfectly aware that when Queen Isabella was forced to leave Spain she took with her, iu good, solid money, 40,000,000 or fraues ($3,000,000). Beinz a cléver man, with- out ason, he wrote an excellent letter to her Majesty, stating that ke was unknown to her, but that, comprehending how in a diflicalt situ- ation like hers devoted fricuds wero often use- tul and necessary, he dared hope stic would ap- preciate his desire to place himself and all he possessed at her service. He expressed great regret not to have a larer sum at his disposal, but said that 500,000 srancs (5100,000) were all he could spare .for. the iwoment, and begged she'would deign to accept them. Of course her Majesty had no need of the money, but wes touched by such generosity, and de- sired that Mr. X. should be presented to her. Monsicur X. became aware that the Queen de- sired to hire or buy a hotel; he koeyw likewise that Count Basilewski wished to sell his for the sum of 1,200,000 francs ($240,000); so he went to the Count and said: * You ask a large price [for your hotel, but I think I can get it for yous; only you must let me have it, to keep or to re- turn, for fifteen days. I have not that sum by me at present, but ina fortnight it is more than probable I wiil, and 1f you accept my proposi- tion the 1,200,000 francs shall be paid down.” The conditional papers were drawn up, and Mr. lozt no time in calling upon the Queen, who always most gratefully disposed toward Iim, and” he made so good a siory about the wonderful hotel, its rémarkably low price (1,600,000 francs), and above all the mecessicy not to let such an aceasion slip by, that her Majesty then and there authorized him to buy it for her. Aud thus it came to pass that Mon- sieur X., who had not a sou, became possessor of 400,000 francs ($50,009). OXNE,OF THE OLD NOBILITY. London Saufair. A rather pleasant personage has just passed away from Parislan socicty. Ile was Viscount comparatively early aze of 42, by a more than unusuady persistentattack of delirium-tremens. 1t was the Viscount’s cheerful habit, from 9 o'clock till midnight, to patronize the dining- rooms of Hulder, Lucien, or Briebaut. If he were hungry he took a piece of bread from one table, and & picce of pastry or unything elsethat was bandy. from another. If he were thirsty ke helped himself to a few glasses of wine or cozuac~—the latter by preference. Having eaten aud drunk his fill, hé was accustomed to place himsclf on guard at the door of auy circle where gambling was going on, and, as geutlemen left, he berrzed the Toan of 'a 10-franc picee. As he was lknown to make refusal 2 personal matter, and as he wasa famousswordsman, begencrally obtained the loan. Latterly, however, the spell bewan to loseits power, by reason of the difficulty the Viscount met with in findinza seeond. Despite bis poverty and the smell of brandy which al- ways cluner to him, his_bistorical name and di: tinguished title secured for the Viscount a cer- tain prestige, particularly among voune men from the country.

When his Jast hour approached he sought lhecons(*t ion of religion. The pricst came and exhorted Him to repentavce. As the good father left the room the Viscouns rang the bell, and addressing the garcon of the hotel where he bad secured a room, said : * Takedown the name and address of that priest. e has used toward me a tone that is exceedingly of- fensive, andas soon aslam able to stand I stiall send a friend to him!"

Written for Tl Chicago Tribune, I always thought it would be delightfnl to teach school in the country in the winter season; the country is 80 beautiful in its pure robes of snow, you know, especinily these prairies spread out i vast fertility os far as the eye can reach, oniy crossed here and there by smooth streams, with their fringes of timber standing out against the clear blue of the skv, and dotted with neat farm-houses here and there; and the country- veople are so kind-hearted and genial, Fou know, and the children and youth so innocent of the follies and vices of the world! I've been trying it !—teaching In the country. I considered myself fortunate in- getting a school only eighteen miles from home, as the teachers in our county are a little thicker than locusts when the seventeen-year kind come; and, about the middle of November, I packed my Algebra, Geometrs, Zoolozy, Latin books, Webster's Unabrideed, Shakspeare, the red-line pocts, the best of my wardrobe, and a dozen or two little tancy articles to adorn my exoected cozv room at my boarding-house; and in due season found myself at my country retreat. ‘The house was not exactly elezaut. vor was it really romantleally lovely, althourh it Iooked old enough to have s much of a history as Adam’s ‘summer-residence. Well, I always admired age, especially iu architecture. I followed my trunk into the house bravely, thinking how beautiful in contrast with the dreary outside would be the warm carpets, gkllmflnzuros, ‘hooks, pictures, and good cheer within. I knew there were but two in the family,—an old gentle- man and bis wife,—~and I pictured the quict, pleasaut evenings I shail spend with them, list- ening to his cheerful, kindly voice, watching the play of the firelizht over her silver bair and soft Tolded hauds, as I sat with them when the day was spent. A sharp-faced, little old woman met me at the door, in a short calico aress minus anv over- dress, usbered me into the house with as few words as possible, and seated me in 2 room which I knew instantly was the kitchen, Then, aiter haviog disposed of my outer wrappings, she returned to certain culinarv operations ~hich my arrivai had interrupted. There was . that odious thing, a_*‘johnny-cake,” visible tirough the baif-open door of the oven, and on the top of the stove, hissing vizorously ina {rying-pan, were some enormous slices of some- thing sending out the unmistakalle odor of poris that is no longer youtbful. The amount of food 1 took that e€vening Wwas no- strain on wy dizestive apparatus. Ilonged to get 10 my own apartment, rest in the cozy depthis of a lounging-chair, or curl myself up comfortably on my sofa, and find some reprieve from my loneliness in the pages of my favorite authors. So I said quite early tha: I'would re- tire, if they pleased, and was shown to the “schiool-ma'am’s room.” It wasa’t large enough to make it scem dreary. vet it wasn’t exactly what you mieht The floor, like all the Test inthe house, was perfectly frce from any hing of a car- pet; the two windows were¢ hung, not eclabor- ately, with blue_cambric; - there Were two cane- seated chairs in the room, along bux covered with calico, and a bedstead! It was not antique or ancieat, or auything ot that kind, perhaps, but it was certainly a **four-poster,” and the four posts were fustened towethier with four strips of board. The outer covering of the bed tvas a quilt of most marvelous design, tbat re- sembled notbing I ever saw upon the carth, or over it, or under it, except itself. In front of the bedsiead was a rug consisting of four parts, each occupying one-quarter of it.—a blue grouud dotted with red, in ove corner; ared ground with a blue ¢ross upon it, in each of two oppusite corners; and a blue quadruped (wheth- er canjne or feline I could never detérminc) with ared eye, in the other corner. 1did not call that bed a hard bed the first night; I made up my mind I had taken a cold which had set- tled in my bones. The next nizht I concluded 1had the rheumatism. 'The next day I looked to sce what the bed was made of: after that [ didn’t call it—nor its inbabitants; they came without calling. There was no apoaratus about my room par- ticularly designcd for parposes of ablution, aud, in the course of the first morning, L per- suasively mentioned a washbowl to mine host- ess. My impudence was rewarded by the sacri- fice to mv especial use of a portion f the Tamily property. It was anew pint tin basin.

A gust of wind took up the cape of my cloak saucily, and flung e over the barbed wire above me, where it fastened itsel! securely; my veil also reached up and secured a likejposition; and there I was, not exactly midway between beaven and earth, but iy a situation not alto- gether graceful or_casy, when a troop of my pupils cane along the road (which I had reached but for that horrid wire), and paused an justant on the opposite side of the road,—I suppose to see what sort of a bundle it was ecaught in the fence,—and then, with many a subducd chuckle and much bobbing about of heads, passed on. #0 boys!” I shrieked; “do help me!” The largest one, 16 years of age perhaps, turned in his tracks and made hesitatingty to- ward me. lte reacned my side, sald not aword, but grasped my unlucky cape, and with one wrench frced me,—alas for my handsome cloak !
