In the course of conversatio, he remarked, * Oh! the Americans o Iu for mackine-work. They don’t care about hand-labor.” 1f exceptions prove the rule, even Tiffany’s siiverware will hardly do more thau show what America can do If it will. This is a European apfial,—tlic city var excellence, accarding to most men, of civilization and taste. It is not surprising, then, that any one who has resided here g0 long as myself should be inclined to judge matters with something of a Parieian’s partislity for the artistic. Givo us solid reali- tics, say Americavs. Byall meaos, I reply; but why scparate them from the beautiful! s a chair less comfortable to the_back for belng gereesbly-shaped as well as agreeably-stuffea? Al this apropos of THE FURNITURE-EXHIDIT. Farniture may be roughly divided into two groups: The ornamental (which need not ex- Gude the serviceable) and the useful (which, as » matter of fact, generally excludes the orna- menwal). Most countries send « fairly-prapor- tioned show of each. America can hardly be said to be represented ornamentally at all; it confines itself to the useful. Tne solitarg ex- ample of decorative furniture sent over is ex- hibited by a French firm, Messts. Marcotte & Co., New York, and was manufsctured by foreign workmen. It is a andsome black stafned wood cabinet, adorned with delicate copper cnamels in the *‘Limoges” &tyle, and finely carved. The taste displayed in the designing and . esccution Js 50 faultless that you capmot help blushing for the useful goods near it: the patent bedsteads and automatic sofas of P. C. Doremus, New York; the Greenpoint rockine- chalr of H. J. Bandet; the perforated-metal seats of Gardner & Coi, New York; the glass rollers of C. E. Parent (same city); and the bamboo chairs] of the. Dorman Manufacturing Company. ¥ar be it from my wish to decry the virtues of these necessary luxugjes. Tho fn- walid beds are a positive boon to many a suf- ferer;and the rocking-horses—I bey pardon, the rocking-chairs—are prized by millions. Yet, someliow—. Well, levit pass, (I must dis- semble.) PORCELAIN AND POTIERT. Do you remember the edifying chapter which ‘Van Troil devoted to the Snakes of Iceland? It was very short and to the polot, consisting merely of these words: ** There are no snakes o lceland.” Iwason the point of observing, “There are 10 porcelain ond pottery eshiditors In the United States sectlon,” when my eye alizhted on the names of J. Carr (New York) and Ott & Brewer (Irentou),who both figure in the cata- logue under that headivg. What mauner of were they show, T cannot tel), for the most dili- zent search has not yet revealed thelr exhibits o me. COTTONS AXD SILES. Not an atrractive class for_most people, but ritally important, uevertheless. The cotton roods cxinbited by Messrs. Coffin, Altenus & Co., of Philadclphia (*“Washiuzton” prints, shectings, Union prints, ete.), and by Messrs. Lewis “Bros. & Co., of the same aty, we caleulated to make the Manchester 1nd otbier North-of-England houses tremble for the duration of their long-undisputed suverior- #ty. Itvisasolemn fact for British manufac- tarers that American prints are actually im- ported into England now, and sold at lower rices than the bome article. Amongst the wis goods are sheetings and shirtings of the ‘Wamsutta and the Slater Cotton-Mills, glazed aud colored calicos from the Manvill Company, and prints manutactured by the Wamegaw and the Dunnell Manufacturing Companies. The silks exhibited by J. N. Stearns & Co., of New York, and by C. Chaffarvon, deserve o be ‘meationed bricfly. They are of ¢xcellent qual- ity, soft and flexible; and tho designs, in some fnstances, are both rich sud harmonious. PHOTOGRALTIS. In all that T have had oceasion_to write about £0 far, it will be scen that New York and Phila- delphia havs been Jeft to fight for the bonors al- most by themeelves. Chicago and the other freat Western cities scem out of the race, though we shall Fxobubly tind tiem presently occupying hogorably couspicuous places. Why, as L live, here is Cliicazo to the frout at last. There are few prettier thicgs in the Exhibition thun the sweet photogmphic Baby-Show of J. Smith. 1u one glass case you see fully 100 of the loveliest baby faces that can be imagined. Some are crying, some urc laughing; others are playing baby _ games tocether, and others dreaming mysterious angel-dreams doubtless, unless their looks belie them. The exhibiter labels his babies with an ifuscription in Freuch and Euglish. The Eoglish is, ** We came all the way Srom Chicago.” I give the Frenchasa warniog 1o other photographers. J. Smitn's ‘babes haven’t had much time to study the lan- guage yet, I suppose. or they would never in- Torm ihe public that * Nous arons passes {a grande route de Chicago." Sarony snd J. Gurney, both of New York; T. Gubelmann, of Jersey Gity; J.

And the Grand Prix is to be run the day after ‘to-morrow ! THZ AMERICAN PICTCRES. But now let us _turn for s moment -to_the artside of the United States exlubit. This with an apology to Messrs. Smith aud Sarony, ‘whose skill and good taste make me regret that 1 caunot class thew in the same eategory. 1 believe I have given you my opinion of the Amcrican pictures pretiy plainiy in a precediog letter, and it was certafoly, on_the whole, far from favorable.

This geutleman exbibits 4 beautitul jewel-case, a powder-box, and a card-case, madw of pure wold aud quartz, ornamenicd with exquisite mosaic work. These three objects—they are worth the tritle of 150, 000 francs—form part of the private coliection of Mrs. Sunderland, of Sun Frauctsco. They were wanufactured from her designs, especially for the Paris Exhibition, aud deserve 1o be seen by every onc who visits it.

Ilinny MELTZER. EUROPEAN GOSSIP. A MUNGARIAN MARTYR. New Orieans Picayune's Paris Letter. Nothin exhibited at the Exposition is so pop- olar as the Hungarion gypsy musicians, who now dafly play fn the Hungarian building called the Csurda (pronounced Ckarda, I believe), which is in the Champ de Mars. ‘There are six- teen musiciaus. They may be compared to the negro minstrels, that s, they play the music of a race, “the wood notes wild” of an epoch when music was rather a tradition than an art; but their music is neither the buffoonery nor tho sad strains of Africas’ 1t is music of daucing, waltzing, bunting, war. Their most {amous work is Rakoczy’s March,” the national air of Hungary. This marel seems to have been com- posed in the eighteenth ceutury by some parti- san of Rakoczy (the Kossuthiof his day); then it fell into obiivion until Kozsavolzy, & £ypsy, found it fn some peasant’s hovel (the pagani, who never forget anytbinz!) about 1820, when the spirit of States’ rights once more ani- mared _the Hungarlans. This march raised the wildest enthusiasm wherever it was heard 1o Hungury, and it was cherisbed as the song of dear native land until 1840 came, when it was heard aboye battle's fiercest roar; it comforted the wounded and the dying In bours of defeat, it kept alive hooe, until the strugzle azainst the oppressors cnded in a sea of blood. — Aus- trian and Russian were merciless. Rakoczy’s March becametreasonable. Count Bathiuny, one of the Hungarian Ministers during the straggle, was arrested, tried by court-martial, sud was sentenced to be hanged. Count Bathi- any’s death (1 translate from & French news- psper) wos an eple. Sentenced to be hanged, he was granted permission to bave a last inter- view with bis wife.

Tie law prbvided that the body of a - man executed should remain four and twenty bours on the spot where the law's extreme pewalty bad been ald.

Pity, deep, inexpressible pity, fook possesiion of every soul, every heart. All were turped to that box. "All ap- janded—how wildly! with what freuzy! very woman waved her handkerchief to hat box.

HIS MOTHER’S EXECUTIONER. Aew York Herald. There is now acrupying the Russisn criminal the gioomieat imaginings of the old Greek playwrizhts. 1tis the murder of a motber by her son, & child 9 years old. Thestory is one of the most appalling 0 the whole 2unals of hu- man crime, and withal 35 it heart-touching as showing the misdirection of a noble pature. | For the motive of the crime was houor, and the son slew bis mother that her blood might wash out the stain her fnfidelity bad put upon her husband’s name. The case is & most remarka- bleone. Therescems to be no evidence of & vicious disposition on the part of the bog. Un the contrary, be scems to have bad a loving heart, and to have been tenderly attached to his dead father; but o cloud came over his young existence,when his mother, forgettingzher duty to the living and the dead, contracted 1 dliicit allianee with a_Government employe, The woman seems to have troubled herself little to conceal lier amours from her sou, thiuking that u child of such tender years would not be likely to pay any attention o lier actions.

For a long tite be concealed bisanger and his shame; but one his indignation mastered him, and he resolved to make an effort to win Lis motber “1rom the path of shame. Throwiit aside ofl fear, he_ reproved the widow for her infidelity to lier dead husband, and besought her to' return to her duty by re: ct 10 the memory of the dead and out of respect to her sun, The mother treated these remonstrauces lightly, and barst out lauhiln at the ehild, Without_even delzatug to hear hifu to the énd, she advised bl to occuoy bl self with matters more approuriate to ils age. Several times hescems to have reaewed his cxhortations, always, however, meetinge with the same reception. Feeling that it was useless to appeal to the better nuture of his motber, the child conceived the horrible desien of washing out in her blood the stalu sho persisted In pusting on his name, and which he Kncw was no_longer u secret for the veigbbors.

Paris Corresvondence Hoslon Adcertiser. An exhibition which will e of unusual idter- est s already near completion. In a vacant lot situated between the Iippodrome and the Champs de Mars a mevagerie—such as hasnever been seen in Europe—is to be open during the next three months. It will undoubtedsy be curious and ioteresting, but I doubt if the eap- ture of any one of its animals has such a history as the lions about to appear at the Porte Saiut Martin Theatre. I am indebted to M. d’En- pery, one of the authors of the “Tour du Moude,” for tne following particnlars: These superb animals have never formed part of any menageric, aud have retained all their terrible savageness. It is o hunter, aud not a trainer, who accompavies them. Macomo, a_ large, powerful ueiro of Central Africa, made himself master of these beautiful apimals in the fol- lowing manmer: He had been - formed of the bightly presence of | a lon in his nelzhborhood. He lost Do thne m wsrming bimself with a lotg cutloss, aud, drugging a young oX_after him, arrived'at tlie appointed . place. - At the usual hour his musjesty appeared. The moon was at {ts full, and the strange trio saw one another os in broad day. ‘The lion gave uttersnce toa deep, significant growl, looked from _the maa to the o7 and tlourished eat tail. Macomo re- mained perfectly quict for an istant, then sud. denly plunging bis cutluss into the o, be raised him fo his vigorous arms and_threw him at the fion’s feet. The wild beast gave a bound, sprang upon the bleeding budy, caressing it for a moiuent as a cat docs a mouse, and then, giv- mg expression to stifled growls of joy, he drank the blood and crushed the bones. Ana Macomo ~—what was he domgall this time! Seatea uictly a few steps from his guvst, he opened Hetle sacke from which he took A bit.of corn bread and dry figs and began bis own trugal re- past. When'his hunger began to be - satistied, the lon raised his head and looked at tbe mauv. Their eyes met. Those of the lion were filled with surp Those of the man were calm ond _smiling. The low returned to his subper. When e was com- pletely satisfied e ruse. Macomo did likews The lion made three o four steps towards M como, who remained_motionless, and, lookivg oncomore at his ox, which waa but partiully devourcd, scemed to say: “This belongs to me.” Macomo bowed. A lst glance, friendly ihis time, and the lion quietly went bis way, Tcaving Macomo to return 1o bis home. Ou the Tollowing evening, at the same bour, tne African returned to the place of meeting, where the balf-devoured carcass still 'ay, and sbortly after- ward the lior made his appearunce, but not slone this time. As the bunter had torescen, be came nccompanied by family and_ friends. They were four 1n pumber—two lious, & loness, and ffon’s whelp. The repast was served, but 1ot as on the previous eveving, in the open air. Macosito hud built an arbor, covered with vincs, banuna_and palia leaves. und into this vretty dinivg-roor hls guosts entered fearlossly. Theq crawling nolselessly witlin rench of o hidden spring, Mncomo touched it, and his four lions suddeuly found themselves iwprisoned I a_strong irou caze whose bars hud been hidden beneath ereen leaves. Ftiends were near at band to aid in removing the four lions upon a eart, and they were about to com- mence their work whed they perceived a new lioness crouched down upon the sand and lick- ing her whelp between the iron bars. hen the men raised the cage upon the cart she looked ut them beseechingly and when they all wmarched on she followed at a short distinee it drooping biead and tearful eses. Aud thus it fs that we have five lions fustead of four at the Theatre Porte Saint Martiu—five terrible, ferocious beasts, ready to xevoltat any moment, aud_althoush Macomo cnters thelr cage and dominates them to a certain oxtent, they liave not forgiven him for havins taken advantage of their confidence fn tim, sud_would ask nothing better than to treat him as Lucas wastreated by Bis seven lions fu the fast days of the old Hip- podroue—sinply tear him to picces.

Both the Czar and his uacle, the Emperor of Germany, have twlee natowly escaped being shot; but the deadliest and the most nearly suc- cesstul attempt fpon the life of the former was of 2 more insidious kind, ad is still kuown to only a very fw persons, eten in Russia. ‘There 1s it the Wiater Palace at St. Petersbury a small * clovator,” consisting of an casy-chuir fixel upou a_staud, originallyconstructed for the Czar Nicholas, who was wont to mount in this fashion to bis cabinet on tue third floor of the Pulace. On ons ocession, after u state dinner, the present Czar, instead of taking his seat In the chalr as usual, olfered the place to a lady of rank who bad been a friend of his mother. The Countess, flattered by the compliment, took her seat at once; but she had not rlsen many feet wien . the chain snapped, and_down came the chair with a terrilic crash, flinging out its occupants upon the floor with o broken limb and other serious injurles. The dismay of the company was ex- treme, and all_were laud in expressing their thapkiulness that the Czar Wimself hod 50 nar- rowly escaved a eatastiophe which, kowever, no one fooked upov i any other light than that of a very unfortunate accdent. Butone of the Tmperial pages, a skrovd young fellow, who Tad himself witnessed the catustrophe, had bis own thonghts about this ‘“‘accident,” and took the earlicst opportunityof inspecting the bro- keu chaiu, when he at orce perceived that it had been sawn half through, close to the stiple. ‘The announcement of this discovery full Jike o thunderbolt upon the agicbled grandees, and not & moment was lost ia calling up the palace servants for examinaton, when it was found That 8 foreign lackey, wao had entered the sery- 1o s0mo0. months before, und bad up Lo thiat time borne_an excellent,_character, had unac- countably disappeared. The affair, however, was hustied up, and_to this day muny persons who are nequainted with the story, consider the whole oeeysrence cithes imaginary or purely ne- cideotal. ———— TO Hl.

NEW YORK. A Landlubber’s Experience in Yachting. His Failure to Recognize the Eles ment of Sport. But Positive Acquaintance with the Eilemens of < Squall.” 1 The Swmzmer Warth at Last..-¥o Workinz. Women Left at the Fark Hotel, Ete., Ete. il Fram Our Own Correapondens. N&w Yors, June 27.—The rewatta down the bay to-dsy recalls the recent experienze of a friend who went yachiting in the wake of arace, or what would have béen a race hud the wind done anything to.ussist. Very many of the metropolitans like yachting. It is expensive, hence fashionable, and comes und:rthe head of pleasures. Lester Wallack keeps his yachr, and Boucicauit had to buy one this spriog so as nottobe outdone. The wealthy gentleman who does not kuow what el to do with his money, puts it into a vacht. Here a #ood deal of it can be made to disappear, witbout exces sive ratura. In cases live those of Mr. Astor,’ who crujses around the nortbern or southern seas as taycy or the weather may dietate, who takes nis fowily slong and makes a regular life of it on the ocean wave, heulth and sati faction are more reudily apparent. Generally the mon about town owns a yacht in order 1o say €0 and_come in once or twice a year as the regattas. This happencd to be the situation of the friend’s brother,and it was ope of the aunual regatta days that the doleful experlence was met with. The yacht was a larze, splendid cabin-vessel, fitted for & crew of a dozen. The first thing the fricnd observed was that there Wwas bo erew~—nobody on board but the two ot them. The brother, an-amateur yachtsman, said that mode vo difference; be had often been out all alone; they would just follow the racers down to the Hook, and then turn back; there was not the slightest dsvger. If oneof the brothers was an amateur, the olher was a thorough lamdsman. Larboard, starboard, sideboard were all oneto him, excent as the latter mizht be well filled. He knew an anchor when e suw one; but as for keel or bowsprit, mafnsail or jib, he was as lunocent of distinction between them as Mys. Jenks would scem to be of bashfulness. He didn’t like hting then; now it would be futsl to sugzest asail. e went because his enthusiastic brother was eazer toshow him the delights of the sport. How this was done will appear from what fol- lows: Not having the utmost confidence in his com- mander, yet not having suflicient distrust to back out altorether, the unhappy Izudiubher did what he was told to do aswell as he could, and the sloop-yacht was soon alidivg alonz un- der the iniluence of a fair breeze. The ‘helm wes iutrusted to the friend, the sccond parcy beinir engased with the sheeting and getting thines in readiness for fast trapsit. Close shaving in the rear’of two or three ferryboats, and danger of instant demolition from steamers or shivs, of which the North River never seemed so full before, tricd the nerves of ‘thie unaeeustomed pilot to an unvearable degree, and he was turniog about iu despalr when be Jicved from duty. it day, but rather raw and un- comfortable. When the twwain had sailed ro the rezatta’s starting point, the yaclts were alreads ofl. Ho they followed a3 ravidly as the wind would permit, passed the Narrows, and bore away for Sandy llook. In a moment the wind died, sod the score of small- 1ry vessels lay beculmed on the surface of the There was no belp forit. The amateur went below to refrest himself, leuving his bored cr to tend the helm, Taking turns at re- shiug aud stearing, they remained practically in the sume place fo eral bours. The owner finully went down for & nap, and soon afterward the helmsman observed- & great commotion among the 1en ou loard of the yachts and ships Iying all apout him. Seils wert belnz rapidly fakeu ip, aud_every preparation made for 2 Lcavy storm. Not a speck in the sky was to be seen, and thelan 2 laughed g ;- sary tronble they ¢ taking. liis wmeanwhile, lay Wwith its great sails ful reagy to cateh the fh wight blow it New Yorkwa This state of things lasted until Le noticed als to reed his sails. Then he called bis brother, and the 1 1er, noting a little cloud rising off Sundy Hook, began to work like a hero who scarcely ox- el to come out of the stragule alive. The loudsinan could do nothing but mansee the belm. Ina moment the squail, traveling with fearful speed, struck them full, and it was little short of 2 marvel that the yacht did pot £o to the bottom as did that of th fortunate Commodore Garner n aless powerful gale. The vessel righited, Lowever, and then the excitement fairly began. Al endeavors to reaf the wet salls were invain. The only thing possible was to run before the wind and take the chances of collision. Maupily, in one sense, the wind blew them out to ses, so there was no danger of being wrecked, ‘They sped alone 1lke ouc of those ionderful catamarans, rauning clear over om the vessel’s side, and shipping water at every dip of the waves. Neither of the two wen expected, ut that moment, to step foot on land again. They expected it atill less 3 mo- ment later. They uoticed that they were run- nfog nearly parallel with a Urig, which was taking advantage of the wind. The lack of perfect ‘varallel a3 agaivst the achtsmen, for the two vessels were glowly flut surely drawing together. A collision woutd be fatal to the yacht. ‘The attention of thase o board the brig could not be obtained, or if obtaioed o heed was paid to the perilous predicament i which the yacht was placed. The briz was under control, but the amateur yacltsman saw, in despuir, thut ber course temained unchanged. Tuere were only two courses lelt,—to run into the briv and o to the ‘bottom, or throw over the suil and, in all prob- ubility, go to thebottom all tbe same. o throw over the sail, even in n moderate blow, is davgerous. To do it clean in a gale like this was madness. The amateur knew it, aud waz resigned. The Jandiubber kuew it vot, but had quite as Tittie hope of cver coming out alive, Bence was also resizued. They were afmost upon the briz when, with & sweep und swash, and a shock that st every timber in the yacht a-trembie, the sail wenl over, sweeping the water gs it fell. Yet again the vessel rlghted, and started away on its mew tuck., The wet sails, cauht up before the squall ~ eame just enough to draggle, was what saved the temporary mariners from the contretemps of capsizivg. Now they were safe. Lu (en ninutes more the storw bad ceased. and out on the oceun they tossed idly, with no means of getting back ioslde the har- bor. Both were dreuched ta the skin, and cren the enthusfasin of the amateur was eflectually subiued. They bailed out tie water, of which several barrels bad been shipped, prepared to catch whatever wind might come up. and reached the home pier in this city at 2 v'clock of urainy, dismal morning, baving beecu out somo seventeen hours. My frfend makes a very wruphic story of it, us well he might. Fortu- nately for domestic peace he was only too willing to pledge his word to his wife that if be ever went, yachting again, with an gwateur, profes- <ional, or otuer person, he would cheerfully submit to being tied close to the heels of the Danbury man's mute.
