Paris, Oct. 14.—It is always a more or less thankless task that s journalist has before him when he attempts to discourse on so heavy and technlcal a subject as machinery to the meneral public in the columns of a gmeneral mnews- vaper. He has to chouse between the Seylia of superficiality and the Charybdis of dull- ness; happy if he perish not, literally speaking. But the most important point {8 that hisreaders should survive. Now, I take it, dullness is [ar more unpardonsble than the opposite extreme. Of course it would be highly gratifying to every one concerned if both could ve skillfully avoided; but that seems difficult. However, we will sail as close to Scylla as we can, trusting to Provi- dence for our salyation. p Machinery of all sorts is very completely represented in the two immense galleries form- ing the sides of the Main Building in the Champ de Mars, and, in the annexes, GHEAT BRITALN AT LEAST with a few more countries bas succeeded in obtaining space suflicient to house a respectable show of the agricultural implements, steam engines, plows, threshing-machines, rollers, reapers, and what-not, to which she owes so im- portant a share of her wealth and material prosperity. But, when the eve of the visitor bas familierized itself with the bewilder- ing look of the mignty display of mechanical inventions "at the Exhibition (it takes some time), it will be scen that thers is scarcely anything in it all so entirely new as to have great intercst to people who visited the Centennial in 1876. What absolute novelty there is must be sought for in-tue United States section,—in the agricultural department chiefly, though here, 100, as I have bad occasion to observe in former letters, there is little new, comparatively. - Onc of the most complete and fascinating features in the British galleries is the exhibition of machinery relating to the various processes of tlie cotton-manufacture. The visitors seem never to weary of watching it, although, doubtless, nine out of every ten who stare at the beautifully- finished instruments which the paticut genius of man has invented for the scrvice of human- ity are utterly iznorant of the meaning of gins and bobbius, and not impossibly as indifs ferent. With this portion of the British ex- hibit, however, it is unnecessary to busy you. Steam engines of various classes are fully represeuted. THE LARGEST AND MOST CONSPICUOUS ENGINE in the British gallery is that which moves most of the machinery in the section. It is con- structed on the horizontal compound system, suitable for working up to 300 indicated horse- power, with a boiler pressure of five atmos- pheres. The high-pressure cslinder has a box of twenty iuches, and the low a bore of thirty-four inches. The -engine is fitted with valves of the olain flat surface system, srranged so as to be almost frictionless; and has an instantancous cut-off motion attached, regulated directiy by the governor, 8o as to allow of full' boiler- pressurc on the piston. The steam passages between the face of the valves and the cylinders, and between one cylinder and another, will be scen to be reduced to a minimum; a fact which is of consid- erable - importance, as any engincer knows. All the main line-shafts and counter-shafts in the section are driven by this engine, by means of one enormousstrap. Theexhibitors—Messrs. Galioway & Sons, of Manchester—show three Jarge boilets, containing several improvements introduced lately by the makers. More room is now given for getting about the flues than formerly, and the tubes are soarranged that the whole of them arc made interchangeable, and the ‘*phalanxes ” square with the ccatre tube. In looking at_this enginc, and indeed at most of the machinery shown by Great Britain, no- body can fail o be struck by the exquisite nicety with which the numerous partsof thecomplicated invention have been made and fitted together, This niccty—amounting nearly to mathematical exactitude—is principally duc to the adoption of the machine-tool system of construciion. Where it has been introduced in its entirety, the different parts of each structural skeleton are shaped with a truth and uccuracy that make it casy to fit them ope into the other exactly, without adjussment, at the first trial. Of machines for dressing and shaping stone and working wood and metals, there is a fair display; and H. R. Marsden, a Leeds engi-.| neer, exhibits AN IMPROVED STONE-BREAKER, with engine combined, fitted with a new patent reversible jaw for making road-metal. watched the working of this machine very care- fully for some time, the other day, and fncline to think the system sound, practicable. and not costly. The novelty of the movable jaw les in its being made with faces insteadof in one piece. The faces can be reversed when they get worn down, and thus serve twice as long as in the or- dinary stone-breaking apparatus. Another ap- preciable advantage is that the jaws, when quite worn out. are replaceable with compara- fively little casting. In the old system tho whole jaw bad to be renewed. Just outside the uely shed covering the American agricuitural exhibit i3 a locomotive steam crane, shown by Messrs. Appleby Bros., of Southwark (London), which has been i1sed, by~ the-by. on the spot, during the progress of tho exhibition works. Its practical value nas thus been fully tested and proved. : It is mounted ona permanent way carriage, carrviug a load of over five tons. These cranes are being a good deal employed, and are gradually superscding the band craves hitherto used for speci: service or breakdown work. Messrs. Appleny ar6 further represented by several steam warchouse-lifts, and by an im- proved pile-driver, constructed on principles ad- mittingof a Jarrer pumber of blows being struck per minute than could be obtained by any other eingle rope or chain system. ¥ ANOTHER PROMINENT FEATGRE in the British scction i3 the important exhivit of Messrs. Aveliug & Porter, the well-known inventors of lhe;lenn roller. . It is divided into iwo parts. Iu‘the machinery gallery proper are 1wo steam tractiov-engines and - a roller; while in the ' agricultural annex they hold their own with four traction-engines acd a stesm reaper. A new road-locomotive steam-engine, just patented by this firm, is worthy of particular attention. Tho driviog-wheels, seven feet in diameter and six- teen inches wide, are of wrought T iron, of & new aud specially strong section, with stecl diagonal plates,—~the wheels being constructed acreesbly to the provisions of the new act Tegu- Iating such matters. A winding drum, capable of holding.100 yards of threequarterinch steel. wire rope, is fitted to the driving axle wlhen required. The compensating car-wheels are of large dinmeter, and made rom the best crucivle-cast steel. The Yorkshire iron double-riveted boiler can be worked at o pressure of 150 pounds; and the whole'of the crank-shaft and counter-shaft gearing is ar- ranzed to work between, instead of In the usual way, outside: while the wrought-iron brackets and the fiy-wheel are fixed close to the crank- shaft bearings. By thenew arrangementadopted in Messrs. Avelmy & Porter's machine, the width of the engine is much lessened, and the driving wheels are brought closer to the axle- bezrings. Messrs. Fowler & Sons—the great Leeds firm—htave a small but remarkable exhibit of traction and steam plowing engines in the agricul sixteen-horse-power ecngine, with several pe- culiarities of construction. Close at band are a pumber of Messrs. Howard's splendid plows, together with some reaping machives and a patent string - sheaf-binder, which Messrs. Howard's agent is very chary of showing to out- fflgfl’i, as 1 belleve I have muntioned {n another etter, tural anuex, the Jargest of which is a | The invention Is ingenious; but ' the superlority of the American wirc-binders | know all about metals, &rain, and wood. These seems likely to make it practically of very little importance. g In wandering through the British galleries you come upon_ several exhibits hardly classifi- able except under the heading of ‘LODDS AND ENDS," some of them quite worth inspection. A Lon- don firm,—Messrs. William Simeaton & Sons,— for instance, displays an aumirable perfected bath, which even Americans could bardly quar- rel with seriously. It isa combmation of the upright shower and the ordinary plunge-bath, vory solidly made, and_eased fn neatly-polished mahiogauy. There are five knobs or landles in front. - By pullig one you get a shower; the next gives you a spray bath; the third, a stream or douche; the fourth fills the bath in the usual w and the fifth lcts the water out. A ‘*taruation ’cute Yuukeo was loitering about in the neighbornood of this ex- hibit the other day. After some hesitation, he went up to Smcaton’s azent, aud remarked, in the vleasantlv-defiant tone peculiar to Yaukee patriots, ‘*It's a nice bath, but I guess we can do better than that in America.” ~ And then he bought one. He mizht bave done worse. TInternational Exhibitions ar¢ wonderful ANNIHILATORS OF TIME AND SPACE. You would have nceded a good many wecks once to travel comfortably from Aexico to the frontier of Patazonia. Now, witbout fecling a moment’s fatigue,—without belnr at the trouble of making endless researches or con- sulting countless volumes,—you can get su ex- act and satisfying notion of a dozen Republics in five times a dozen minutes. I went down to the Champ de Mars this morning, armed with o beavy cata- logue, and bent on a conscientious study of the Iialian scction,—a great feature in the Exhibitiou; but, as the old, well-worn proverb reminds us, * Man proposes” only; the rest is bevond his control. 1t happenéd that my road fo_Italy (such improbable things aro possible in Paris) Iay through South and Cen- tral America,—acircuitous route you way fancy, though Iassure youitisthe veryshortest cut from the Porte Dupleix. Passing by a gaily-painted railing, that inclosed, according to the official placard, the exhibits of the Republic of Guate- mala, 1'was tempted to stray by the sight of some bright-hued humming-birds in o glaes case. Iscarcely expected, when I entered the tiny American court, that my first wanderinir step would lead me thousands of miles, through the Troplces,ncross mighty rivers and snow-capped mountains, through the relics of dead and gone civilizations, to which ours are childien; would make e acquainted with lost reheiors and dis- carded gods, arts ancient and nodern, extinet races, the Old World and the New. And all in one short hour. Strange,'incredible, but very true! The Republic of Mexico s bounded on the west by the foreign machinery gallery, on the east by Guatemals, on tho north by Denmark, and on the south by Siam, Tunis, and Persfa. There, youthful newspuper-students, is a lesson in eorraphy, fresh from the Champ de Mars, for you. Mexico’s chief products (putting its periodic revolutions aside” for the “while), are idols, anclent pottery, cigars, vanilla, and silk drapery. OF THE IDOLS a very complete collection is_ shown,—hideous shapes of all sorts, the_grotesque and rude es- says of infant aud barbarous Art. Tiny stone gods, of various sizes, but unvarying ughuess,— fir things to frighten bahes within their cradles, and yet oddly resembling the very forms and pictares children will produce 50 soon as their tinr fingers will be able to hold pen or pen- clf ‘Most are represcnted sittinz; per- haps it was casfer to the simple artists to give them that attitude. Onc,—the most ambitious effort,—a stone image, with a faint Jikeness to a man, squats solemnly on his haunches, eternally motionless. The arms are folded, and the eyes, roughly indicated on his horrid countenance, are closed, as though, like Baal, our mod had forever ceased to cou- cern himself with the affairs of his votaries,—a crfect embodiment of the Divinity worshiped in fear and trembling. doubtless, by his human creator. The craving for = relizion must indeed be deeprooted in the heart of man if, rather than be alone in-the universe around him, he was fain to_invent mousters like this stony abortion, deaf, hateful, pitiless. Near him lies another,—owl-eved, armless, legless, wholly terrible. One has fins as a fish; another might be a man, though the bead s = dog's. Here is sumethine less dreadful,—a stone ido] recalling those clumsy snow-men we used to take delight in buildiog up and knock- ing down when we were boys. Look at tins un- fortunate! A frarmentof a deity, with a trunk and a head, a‘waist encircled modestly by an _ artfully-disposed girdle, meant sppar- ently to replace the traditional ' fig-leaf, which had probably been abandoned sbout his time by the °fashionables of the Heaven or Hell he sprang from. Oddest of all, and not extremely repugnant, is a rude sittivg figure, with a tiny bead lost between misshapen shoulders, arms akimbo, and legs ridiculously, dls%ronnrtiomlcl_r gizantic. The Mexicans have also sent over a number of interesting specimens of pottery, ancient and modern,—some mere groiesque, others (the later examples) gaudy, meretricious, and coarse. There arc jugs, colored a dirty puce; with gilt decorations representing leaves and fishes; bowls and dishes of various bues, from a2 stariog vermilion to blue and green. In no single case can _Iy:ou see any sign that might (ead you to say, ** This nation had some idea of bexuty.”” Rich in interest as these things are to the an- tiquarian, most people turn from them with a sigh of relief to 3 charming array of beantifully- modcled wax ficures, fllustrating the differeat types and costumes of Mexico, Every class of Mexican society, wild and civilized, is repre- sented,—{rom the ‘“ moble savage and his copper-skinned squaw, to the streei-venders of vegetables, the water-carriers, the strolling players, and the shop-keepers of the towns. Great taste apd skill have been dispiayed in makiog these figures, and they are being much admired. & We Europeans, in common, perhaps, with many Yankees, are accustomed to thisk of Mexico asa land utterly barbarous, and given up to adventurers. 1t iswell that we should remember. now and then, for mere truth’s sake, that the country has statesmen, orators, think- ers, musicians, pocts, architects, historians (and astronomers even). just as wore favored Re- publics. You may see 3 collection of their portraits (cleverlydrawn in pencil)ut the hamp de Mars, which will sct the doubt Si.f you have apy) at rest forever. 3ost of the distinzuished persons exhibited are—[ trust—prophets in their own country, for they are certainly not out of it. ~That thepe bave becn great architects in Mexico, at- any rate, is plain- 1y demoustrated by the water-color sketches of A SCORR OF FINE CATIEDRALS, shown in the same case as the portratts. Most noteworthy are the Cathedral of Mexico, im- mense, ponderous, classical; that of Guadala- ara remindig one faintly of Hindoo temples; 2 Sautisima, with its leaning walls and towers, its grand doorway and its quaintly-sculptured front: Lorcto, correctly classic; the mighty mass of La Combunfa at Puebln; and the odd, clumsy, rambling Soledad de Daxaca. The Spaniards must be thanked for these, though, and for much good and evil besides. Mexico also exhibits one glorious flxm of silken drapery, intended for a door- anging. It is worked with extraordinary fine- ness, and covered all over with fanciful designs in the most irreproachable taste, counterfeiting Icaves, birds, and flowers, which are varied hero aud there by arabesques and vases, in soft har- mouies of blae, yellow, green, white, and red.

R More fascivating to me. sud, 1 am satisfied, more fazcinating to naturalists, than the fine exhibit of Mexico, is the small but beautifal shot of its neighbor, GUATEMALA. The humming-birds which first attracted me were as naught to what was with them, I found a thousand brilliant songsters (by-the-by, though, they don’t all sine, unhappily) such as one secs only in the favored Tropics,~-creatures £0 harmless and beautiful that it scems strange any shonld be crucl enough to kill them, cven to pladden the eves of distant Paris.

Entomologists have not been forgotten cither. Those who love moths and butterilies have specimens of the unsurpassable Merpho godarti, whose wings gleam rainbow- tted, like refined mother-of-pearl, but with a loveliness far moredelicate; and of the pretty blue Aforplo adouis, smaller, but as_exqulsitely fashioned as the Morpho godarti. Or they can admire the gigantic—relatively speak- ing—Caligo curylochus. For conchologists there is” a geatly-arranged collection’ of molluse, great and small.” Antiquarians and feologlsts will be pleased by 2 case of fossils and_relics of the Stone period,—flint arrow- heads, frazments of idols and vases, and rem- pants of uncouth instruments used in the fish- for and buoting pursuits of lonz dead and buried savages. quug. for the eoulless utili- ::;ria:ai(;uuwmnh exhil dlls a careful assortment geoous raw products, and the dress worn by the matives, - oo oS of OTUSR CCNTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN EXIIBITS.

We fIrst saw him from the deck of the Unser Fritz, us that gallant steamer was preparing to leave the port of New York for Plymouth, Havre, and Hamburg. Perhaps it was that all objects at that moment became indelibly im- pressed on the memory of the departivg vov- ager,—perhaps it was that mere juterrupting trivialities always assume undue magnitude to us when we are walting for something really important,— but I rctaina vivid impression of him as he appeared on the gaugway in apparent- ly hopeless, yet, as it afterward appeared, really triumphant, altercation with the German- speaking deck-hands aud stewards. Hewas not an herofe figure. Clad ina worn llnen duster, bis arms filled with bags and parcels, he might have been taken for 2 hackman carryiog the luggage of bis fare. - But it was noticeable that, although he calmly persisted in speaking En- lish- and ignoriog the voluble Germau of his antagonists, be in some rude fasuion accom- olished his object, without losing his temper or increasing his temperature, while bis for- eien cnemy was crimson with rage and pergpiring with heat; and that presently, having violated a dozen of the ship’s rezulations, he took his place by the side of a very pretty girl, apparently his supe- rior in station, who addressed bim as * father.”” As the great ship swung out into the stream he was still a central figure on our deck, getuing mto everybody’s way, addressine all with caual familiarity, imperturbable to affrontorsnub, but always dogizedly and consistentiy adhering to one purpose, however trivial or inadequute to the means employed. “ Yow’re sittin’ on suthin’ o mine, 3iss,” he began, for the third or fourth tim 1hé elegant Miss Montmorri: who was re e Europe under bigh soci; conditions. ‘¢ Jist rise up while 1 get it—twont take a minit.” Not only was that lady forced torise, but to make nccessary the rising-and discomposing of the whole Montmorris party who were cobgregated around her. The missing “suthin’ wus discoveied to be a very old and battered nmewspaper. “It's - the Cincinnaty Tinws,” he explained, as he quietly took it up, oblivious to the indiznant glances of the party. 4« Tt's a little squoshed by your sittin’ on it, but it'hl do o refer to. It’s got a letter from Payris, showin’ the prices o' them thar bolels and rist’rants, and I al- Jowed to my darter we might want it on the other side. Thar’s one or two French uames thar that rather gets me—mebbee {our ceyes is stropzer:” but here the entire Montmorris party rustled away, leaviog him with the paper in one hand—the other pointing at the para- graph. Not avall discomfited, he glanced at the vacant benceh, took possession of it with his hat, duster, and umbrella, disappeared, and presently appearcd azain with his daughter, a lank-lookiug: youus man, and an angular elderly female, and—g0 replaced the Montmorrises. Wkhen we were fairly at sea he was missed. A pleasing belicf that lie had fallen overboard, or had been left behind, was dissipatea by his appesrance one morning, with his daughter on oune arm, and the ciderly female before alluded toon the other. Tne Unser Fritz was rolling heavily at the time, but with bis usual awkward pertinacity, he insisted upon attempting to walk toward thie best part of the deck, as he always did, as If it were 2 right and a duty. A lurch brought him and his uncertain freight in cou- tact with the Montmorrises, there was a mo- ment of wild confusion, two or three scats were emptied, and he was finally led away by the steward, an obviously and obtrusively sick man. But when hie bad disappeared below it was no- ticed that Le had sccured two excellent seats for his fcmale companions. Nobody darea to disturb the clder, nobody cared to disturb the younger,—who it may be here recorded had a certain sby reserve which checked aught but the simplest civilities from the male passengers. A few days later it was discoverea that he was not an fomate of the frst, but of the second cabinj that the elderly female was not his wife, as popularly supposed, but the room-mate of his daughter in the first cabin. These facts made his various intrusions qn_the saloon deck the more exasperatiog to the Montmorrises, yet the more difficalt to deal with. Eventually, however, be had, a5 usual, his own way; no place was sacred, or debarred his slouched hat and_duster. They were turncd out of the engine room to reappear upon the bridge, they were forbidden the forecastle to rise a ghostly presence beside tne officer in his solemn super- vislon of the compass. They would have been lashed to the rigging on their \an to the main- top, but for the silent protest of his daughter’s presence on the deck. Most of bis interrupting familiar_couversation was adaressed to the in- terdicted ** an at the wheel.” Hitherto I haa contented myself with tne fas- cination of his presence from afar—wisely, per- baps, deeming it dangerous to a true p!ct.up esque;perspective to alter my distance, and per- baps, like the best of us, I fear, preferring to kecp my owr idea of him than to run the risk of altering it by s closer acquaintance, One dav when was lounging by the stern-rail, {dly watching the dozged ostentation of the screw, that had been steadily intimating, after the fashion of screws, that it was the oply thing in the ship with a persistent purpose, the ominous shadow ot the slouched hiat and the traillug duster fell upon me. There was nothing to do but accept it meekly. Tudeed, my theory of the man made me helplcss. “J gidn’t_know till yesterday who you be,” he began deliberately, “or I shouldn’t bev’ been ‘so onsocisl. But Ive allers told my darter that in permiskiss trav’lin’ a man oughter be keerful of who be meets. 1've read some of your writ- ins,—read ’em_in a paper o Injianny, but never reckoned I'd meet ye. Things is queer, and trav'lin’ brings all sorter people togetner. My darter Loovze suspected ye from the first, and she worried over it, and Kinder putme up to this.” , The most aelicate flattery could mnot have done more. To have been In the thougnt of this reserved, gentle girl, who scarcely seemed 10 notice even those who had pald her attention, Was — 4 She put me up to it,” he continued calmly, ¢ though-she, herself, hez a kind o’ pre-judise again you and your writins,—thinkin’ them sort of low down, and the folks talked about not in ner style,—and ye know that’s womau’s nater, and sne and 3iss Montmorriss agree on that point. But thar's a few friends with me round yer ez would like to sec ye.”” e stepped aside, 2nd a dozen men appeared in Ivdiau flle from bebind tlic ronnd-house, and, with a solemnity known only to the Anglo-Saxon nature, shook ray hand deliberately, and then dispersed them- seives in various serious artitudes against the railings. They were honest, well-meaning countrymen of mine, bus I could not recall a single {ace. ‘There was a dead silence; the screwv, however, ostentatiously went on. ‘*You see what I told you,” it said.” ** This is all vapidity and trifling. I'm the only fellow here with a purpose. Whiz, whiz, whiz; chug, chug, chug! 1 was about to make some remark of a gener- al nature, when I was greatly relieved to ob- serve mycompanion’s {riends detach themselves from the railings, and, with a3 slizht bow and another shake of the hand, severally retire, ap- parently as much relieved as myself.” My com- panion, who nad ju the meantime acted as#{ he bad discharged himself of aduty, said, **Thar ollers must be some one to tend to this kind o’ thing, or thar's no sociableness. - 1 tooka deppy- tation into the can’n’s room yesterday to make some proppyeitions, and thar's a minister of the Gospel aboard ez orter be spbke to afore mext Sunday, and I reckon it's my duty, onless,” he added with deliberate and formal politeness, s youl’d Plefertn do it—Dbein’ s0 to speak a pub- lic man.” But the public man hastily deprecated any interference with the speaker’s func- tions, and, to change the convezsation, remarked that he had heard that there were a party of Cook’s tourists on board, aud—were not the preceding Zentlemen of the number? Bat the question cased the speaker to lay aside his hat, take a comfortable position on the deck, agaiost the rail, and, drawing his knces up under his chin, to begin as follows: “‘Speaking o’ Cook and. Cook’s tourls my own Cook! I reckon I calkilate and know every cent that Il spend ’twixt Evaosville, I:ajmm:;‘ and Rome and Naples, and everything I'll see. He paused s moment, and, laying his haud familiarly on my knee, said, “ Did I ever tell ye how I Eem to £o abroad ¥ As we had never spoken together before, it was safe to reply shat he had not. He rubbed his head softly with his hand, knitted his iron- gray brows, and then said meditatively, *No!l it must hey been that head-waiter. He sorter favors you in the musstache and gen’ral get-up. 1 gucss it war him I spoke 10.” 1 thourht It must have been. “Well, then, this is the way it kem about. I was sittin’ oue night, shout three months ago, with my darter Looeze,—my wife bein’ dead some four year—and I was reading to her out ol the paper apout the Exposition.

Scein me here among these rich folks, eoln abroad to Puree with the best o' them, and Looeze thar—in the first cabin—a lady, ¢z she is —ye wouldu't b'leeve it, but I'm poor? Iam.

Yet 1rccailed that 1 had felt indigoant for him and his daughter. = Well, that dam fool of & Dutchman, that chief-cnginecr, gives me i-job the other day. Aud ef I hadn’t just forced my way down thbere, and talked sassy to him, and criticized .his macheen, he'd hev never knosed a eccentric from a wagon-wheel.

But [ could not help asking what his daughter thought of his traveling in this inferlor way. e laughed. * When I was gettin up some pints from them books of travel I read her a proverb or saying outer one o’ them, that ‘ouly Princes and fools and Americans traveled tirst class.” You seel told her it ddn’tsay ‘ women,’ for they nateraily would ride first-class—and Amerikan gals befng Princesses, didn’t count. Don't you see?” % 1f 1did not quite follow his logic, nor sce my way clearly into his dauzhter’s acquicsceuce throuch this speech, some light may ve thrown upon it by his next utterance. I had risen with some vazue words of congratulation on bis suc- cess, and was about to leave him, when he called me back. “Did I tell ye,” he said, cautiously looking around, yet with a smile of stifled enjoyment iu his face, ““did I tell ye what that gal—my dar- ter—sed to me? No, I didn’t tell ye—nor no otie clse afore. Come herel” : He made me draw down closely into the shadow and secrecy of the round-house. “Tnat night that I told my gal she could zo abroad, 1 sez to her quite chipper like and free, +I say, Looey,’ sez I, *ye'll be zoin for to marry some o' thems Counts, or Dukes, or poten-tates, I reckon, ana ye'll leavethe old man.” And she sez, sez she, lookin’ me sk}unr in the eye—did ve ever notiss that gal’s eyeé™” +'She has fine eyes,” 1 replied, cagtiously. “They is ez clean as a fresh milk-pan and ez bright."” Nothin’ sticks to’em. Eh?? “You are right.” Well, she looks up at me this way,” here he achieved a vileimitationof his daughter’s modest glance, not at all like her, **and, lookngrat me, she sez quictly, *That's what I’m goin® 1or, and to fmprove my mind.’ He! bhe! he! It’s a fack! To marry a_uobleman, and im-proye her mind! Hal Hal Ha!” The evident e¢njoyment that he took in this, and the quiet iznoring of avythinz of a moral quality in his daughter’s sentiments, orin his confiding them to & stranger’s ear, azain upset all my theories, I may suyhere that it is one of the evidences of original character, that it is apt to baflle all prognosis from a mere observer’s standpoint. But I recalled it some months after, We parted in Eogland, It is not necessary, in this brief chronicle, to repeat tbe various stories of *“Unele Joshua,” as the younger and more frivolous of our passenzers calied him, nor that two-thirds of the stories repeated were utterly at variance with my estimate of the man, although I .may add that I was also doubtful_ot the accuracy of my own esti- mate. But one quality was always dominant—his restless, dogged pertinacity and calm imperturbability! ~ © He asked Miss Montmorris if sbhe “minded’ singin’ a little in the second cabin to liven it up, and added, as an induccment, that. they didw’t kuow good music from bad,” said Jack Walker to me. “ And when be mended the broken lock of m: truuk, he abtholutely d;}mpothud tome to athk couthin Grath if thee didn’t want a *kdorier’ ta travel with her to ‘do mechanics,’ provided thee would take charze of that dreadfully deaf- and-dumb daughter of his. Wothu’t it funoy? Really he'th one of your characters,” said the youngest Miss Montmorris to me as we made our adicu on the steamer. 1 am afraid he was zof, although he was good enough afterwards to establish one or two ot my theories regurding him. I was cnabled to assist him once in an altercation he had with a cabman regarding the fare of his daughter, the cabman retaming a distinet im- pression that the father had also ridden in some obscure way in or upon the same cab—as he un- doubtedly had—and I grieve to say, foolishly. L heard that hc had forced his way into a certain great house in England, aud that he was igno- miniously rejected, but Lalso heard that ample apologies had been made to a certain guict, modest asughter of his who was wichout on the lawn, and. also that a certain Personage, whom I approach, even 1n this vague way, with a capital Jetter, bad graciously taken a fancy to the poor child, and had invited her to a recep- tion. But this is only hearsay evidence. So also is the story which met me in Paris, that he bad been up with his daughter in the captive bal- loon, and that at an clevation of several thou- sand feet from the carth he had made some re- marks upon the attaching-cable aud the drum on which the cable revolved, which not only excited the interest of the passengers, but attracted the attention of the authorities, 80 that he was not only given a gratuitous ascent afterwards, but was, Iam told, offered some gratuity. Bug I shall restrict this narra- tive 16 the fow facts of whick I was personally coguizant in the career of this remarkable man. 1 was at a certainentertainment given in Paris by the heirs, executors, and assignces of an ad-~ mirabie man, long since gathered to his fathers in Perc la Chaisé, but whose Shakspeare-like bust still looks calimly aud benevolently down ou the riotous revelry of absurd wickedness of which he was, when living, the patron saint. The entertainment was of such a character that, while the ger[m'merx were chiclly women, & mn- jority of the spectators were men. The [ew ex- ceptions were foreigners, sud among themn [ quickly recognized my fair _fellow-countrs- women, the Montmorrises. **Don’t thay that you've theen us here,” ¢ the young- est Miss _Mouotmorris. “‘for ith ~ only a lark. Ith awfully fonny! And that fricnd of yourth fromn Injtanny ith here with hith daughter.” It did pot take me long to find my friend Uncle Joshua’s serious, practical, unsympathetic face in the front row of tables and* henches. But peside him, to my utter consternation, was his shy and modest daughter. In another moment I was at his side. ** I really think—{ am>afrald—" L began in a whisper, *that you have made o mistake. I don’t think §nn can be aware of,_the character of this place. our daughter- Klss Montmorris. She’s “Eem here with yer. 1it’s all right.” ['was at my wits’ end. \Happily, at this mo- ment Mlle.

The \Montmorrises fluttered away with a half-hysteriel mizgle and 2 half.confonaded escort. The m Miss Loo, who had been staring at. Xverything quite indifferently, suddenly steppea\forward, took ber father’s arm, and said ‘gharply, “Come.” At this moment, a voice in Enalish, buf un- mistakably belonging to the politest’ natio? in the world, rose from behind the girl, mimiGk- ingly. . “3ly God! it is shocking. - I bloosh! 10 dammit1?

I looked hurriedly for Miss Louisa, but she was gone. When we 'had extracted the old mon from the melee, 1 asked bim where she was. *0h, I reckon she's goto off with Sir Artbur, ; aal\\"’hlm here just as I pitched mto that dam 00l “8ir Arthur?”? * Yes, an acquaintance o' Loo's."” “She’s in my carrinze, just outside,” Inter- rupted a handsome young fellow, with the shoulders of a glant and the biushes of a eirl. “It’s all over now, you know. It was'rather a foolish lark, you coming here with ler without knowing—you know—anvthing about it, you kuow. But this way—thank you.
