From the London Globe. ‘The emperor is no stranger to Paris, having been here several times before. The last occasion was 1n 1877. During his present stay he has several times called to see M. Georges and Mlle. Jeanne ‘Hugo, who were introduced to him ten years ago When they were children, on the occasion of a ‘Visit to their illustrious grandfather. Of this visit M, Gustave Rivet gives a very pretty account, which, I believe, ey never before been published. Victor Hugo, as 1s well known, would of late years never condescend to go and see any- body “who desired an interview with him, no matter how exalted or distinguished the pers®n. age might be. To the last_he regarded himself as the greatest luminary of the century, to Whom it Was Hitting that all shoulddo homage. Conse- quently there was a difficulty in arranging ameet- ing between him and his imperial admirer. | Uitt. mately it was settled that Victor Hugo should await the emperor of Brazil at a certain hour on the 17th of May in the senate house at Versailles, Owing, however, to the famous McMahon crisis of the’16th of May tne appointment had to be broken. Determined not to be balked the emperor then made up bis mind to call at the poet's house, and Vietor Hugo ay to receive um, provided he would come without any suite or attendants, at 9 o'clock on the morning of the 22d of May. Here 13 M. Gustave Rivet’s report of the meeting: On shaking hands with our great Poet the emperor addressed him in words which should be recorded in history. He sald: “MOn- leur Victor Hugo, you rust pul me at my ease; feel a little timid.” Victor "itugo then led the emperor into the drawing-room, and bade him sit at his side on the sofa, at which the emperor re- marked that to bein such a position was like sit- on a throne. ‘The conversation was then begun, in the course of which the emperor showed If the friend of enlightenment and progress, Speaking of the other sovereigns of the time, he said to Victor Hugo: “You must not be too severe on my col- leagues; they are so surrounded, circumvented and decelved that they cannot have Our ere c lector led, “You are an fogcunaien ad biished “L’Art d'etre victor Hugo had just pul “Lart d' grand-pere.” After having expressed his admira- ‘on of this to the poet and recited several lines Dom Pedro requested the favor of an introduction to Mile. Jeanne. ‘Victor Hugo then called in his grandchildren, “Jeanne,” said the poet, “I present you to the Emperor of Brazil.” “Will you give me a kiss, Mademotselle?” said Dom Pedro. At first Jeanne raised her forehead for the empe- Tor to Kiss, but on asking her to embrace him ended with throwing her arms round his neck Pith suc igor that Victor Hugo burst out laugh- Ing, and sald: “Why, you want to enjoy the luxury of strang- Ung an éinperor.” Victor Aiugo” then presented his grandson, Georges. As the emperor stroked his long, black hair he said: “My boy, there 1s but one majesty here—your grandfativct.” Victor Hugo then presented the emperor with a copy of “L'Art d'etre grand-pere,” first. writing in it “To Dom Pedro de Alcantara from Victor Hugo.” ‘On the conversation being resumed the emperor said: “You are often in my thoughts, I constanuly sok inyselt, “What ts Victor Hugo doing Just now? Ushould ke to know how you spend the entire lay?” ‘The poet then gave all the details of his daily life, beginning With his 6 o'clock rising. “After dejeuner,” he said, “toward 1 o'clock, I go out and Go what Fou would not ike to do,’ 1 get on the omnibus” “Why not?” replied the emperor. “Surely that would suit me exactly, to ride of the imperiale!” On Victor Hugo Inqulring whether Dom Pedro did not feel anxious at being absent so long from his dominions the emporor replied: “No, things go on quite well while I am away. There'are so many Where as good and better than i am.” He added: “I am not losing my time here. I relgn over a young nation, and I use my rights for fuelrenlightensaent, iinprovement, and progress, But Ido not mean "to use the word ‘rights.’ I mean the power which I owe to the chances of for- tune and of birth.” Victor Hugo rejoined: “Sire, you are a great clt- tzen. You are the descendant of Marcus Aurelius!” After the Interview had lasted three hours the emperor took nis leave, accepting an invitation to dine With the poet a few days liter. Lightning. THE MORE COMMON KINDS CONTRASTED WITH THE SHEET AND THE GLOBULAR. From Chambers’ Journal. Every one 1s familiar wth the fact that light- ning does not spring direct from cloud to cloud or to the earth, but pursues a zigzag course, ‘This 18 due to the fact that the air is not equally humid throughout. Electricity always takes the path which offers least resistance to its passage. Damp air 1s a much better conducting medium than dry air, consequently the Ughtning selects the damp- est route, avoiding the drier strata and zones 1t encounters, aud “advances, now directly, now obliquely, ‘until 1t reaches’ the opposite ‘cloud, where it Subdivides into a number of forks. Owing to the resistance it encounters In its path Intense heat is generated, which causes the air to expand. Immediately after the flash the air again con- tracts with great violence and with a loud report, which 1s echoed and re-echoed among the clouds, ‘The report reaching the ear of the listener trom Varying distances 18 drawn out tnto a series, and, being still further prolonged by the echoes, the Toil of the thunders produced. It 1s a curious tact, that, although thesound of thinderis exceedingly loud’ when heard near at hand, the area over which, it 4s audible is comparatively circumscribed. ‘The nolse of cannonade will be heard, under favora- bie conditions, at a distance of nearly 100 miles, While the sound of thunder does not travel over 15 mile ‘The occurrence of the thunder and the lightning 4s, of course, simultaneous; but as light travels faster than ‘Sound—its passage 15 practleally In- Stantancous—the flash may be seen several sec— ‘onds before the thunder is heard. The distance of thunder may thus be approxiuiately estimated an interval of five seconds between the flash and the thunder clap being allowed to each mile. Sheet lighthing has the appearance of a sleet of flame momentarily Muiainating part of the sky or cloud surface. Its in reality but the reflection of Mghtning flashing beyond the Lorizon or behind the clouds, and at too great a distance for the thunder to'be audible. But the most remarkable of all the manifesta- tous of electricity 1s globular ligntning, in ap- pearance like a ball of fire moving letsurely along and remaining visible, 1t may be, for several mntu- Utes. Many curious accounts are related of its Vagartes, One of the most interesting and cireumn- stantial 1s that given by Mr. Fivgerald, County Donegal, Ireland, Who saw a globe of fire slowly descend’ from Ule Glendowan Mountains to the Valley below. Where it first touched the ground At excavated @ hole about 20 feet square, “as if 10 had been cut out with a huge kulle.” ‘This was scarcely the work of @ rainute. For a distance of twenty perches it plowed a trench about rour feet deep, and, moving along (ue bank of a stream, tt made a furrow a toot 10 depth. Finally it tore'away part of the bank five perches in length and five feet deep, and “nurling the ummense ulass Into the bed of’ the stream, It flew into the opposite peaty bank.” ‘The globe was visible twenty minutes, and traversed & dis- tance of a mile, showing that its progress w: for lightning, very slow indeed. During thunder storuus of extreme violence on Deeside, balls of fire are occasionally seen to roll down the sides of Lochnagar, which are, no doubt, identical with giobular lightning. soe. — ‘This Speaks Well for the Young Rats, ‘From the Danbury News.

From the London Times. A new system of bootmaking has been per- fected nwhich the method of securing soles ‘uppers, and insoles together 1s the exact reverse of the ordinary wholesale system. In the latter the uppers are attached to the insoles by small tack: ints of which in time protrude into arer's feet, besides which thelr use 1s ac- companted by other disadvantages. ‘The sole 1s then scored or channelled round to receive the stitching, by which itis of course weakened and its water-reststing power greatly reduced, In the le Lacks are deftly put into the insole by a handy machine, the flat_ heads of the natls being flush with the Surface of the in- sole and toward the wearer's feet. The insole 15 then placed on the last with the points upward, ¢ upper is pulled over them and made fast by means Of a hollow tool, with which the ope- Tator passes down the leather over the each nail, ‘The gole is then placed over the pro- truding potnts of the nails and hammered aown, ‘afew smart blows serving to secure the sole t6 the upper aud insole, So perfectiy are the three juires tools and great force to ‘he secret of this great cohesive power les in the form of the nail, which has a Snoulder near its point and in section resemoles Hence, when driven into leather, the latter closes over the shoulder of the nall and defies all but the most severe efforts to After the sole has been secured the oot is fnished in the usual way, the time occu- pled in fixing the sole being about half that re- quired in the ordinary machine-boot process. ‘The Value of the system 18 strongly attested by prac- Ucal boot manufacturers, and 1t_ appears likely to effect a marked change in the condition of the wholesale boot manufacturing trade. “Ab Intra” system the an open harpoon.

From the Providence Journal. It can scarcely have escaped notice that casual- ties from lightning strokes are alarmingly on the increase, “Fires from Lightning” and “Deaths from Lightning” are daily announcements. The cause of this remains practically a hidden factor, though there are various guesses hazarded. One of the surmaises Is, the general extension of tue telegraph system.” Thts can hardly be the cx+, as sclence declares that the multiplication of wires, serves to dissipate the current and render it less harmtul We oploe thatone reason is that the ligntning.rod_ system, largely in consequence of the inietior work of ‘chariatans, has fallen into desuetude. 101s unfortunate that this shoukl ve he case, since, notwithstanding the incredulity of many, the Value of Dr. Franklin's discovery is amply confirmed by the verdict of science. Not long since, on account of the generat apathy prevailing’ in England in regard to this subject, several learned societies united to give the subject a thorough investigation. Interrogu- Lortes were distributed throughout the world, and the co-operation of scientific associations’ was Solicited, It Was sought to be ascertained whether Or not properly-constructed rods could. be_relted on to afford an adequate protection. ‘The result of the exhaustive examination, which extended over many months, and in whtch'nearly every civilized nation of importance participated, was fairly a surprise in the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence in favor of therods. In tact, the ¥er- dict was Practically unanimous and “left the owners of buildings absolutely without excuse for neglecting to avail themselves of the protection within thelr reach. At an English conference on the subject it was declared to be “the legal duty Of every one possessed of improved real estate to See to it that its improvements are properly pro- fected from lightning, not for is sake ‘only, ut for the sake of the lives of those who chance'to be under his roof.” Legislatures were also called upon to pass laws compeling the erection of rods and provide for their annual inspection. ‘The fol- Jowing points were announced as fully estab- That a properly attached rod will effectually convey the electrical discharge to the ground.

Some excitement was created in Spartanburg, at one of the hotels, Thursday night, by the antics of aman who had been made crazy by smoking cigarettes, His name was Plummer, and he had just arrived in Spartanburg with his bride from Birmingham. Hits insanity was of the rip-roaring character, and it took six men to manage him and Keep him from clearing the hotel of its guests, ‘The doctors who were called loaded him with morphine by hypodermic injection, and he was finally put to sleep. ‘The young bride was terribly agitated by the occurrence, and attracted the sympathies of all the people about the hotel. ‘This case will be one of general interest from thé Tact that the young man’s fnsanity Was caused by smoking cigarettes, and it points a moral which the youth of the land should heed. ‘The man 13 said to be a raving maniac, and the doctors at- tribute the cause solely to lis excessive indul- gence in the cigarette, cee = A Hard Worker Though he Owns $100,000,000.

She was urged to discountenance his suit. but she didn’t; on thescontrary, she recelved it with much favor, whereupon Mr. ‘Bond went to Mr. Townsley and forbade Turther visits to his daughter. Added to this Miss Grace Was under the strictest survell- lance, and she was scarcely permitted to leave her home, even to go to church or Sunday school. On ‘Thursday, however, the young people met at the big Odd Fellows’ celebration near Oaktown. Miss Grace sal Mr. Townsley lost no Ume. He secured a horse nd in a few minutes was driving furl- ‘d his father’s, at Pleasantville. He but a little Uine, and theh turned to- ward Vincennes, arriving at 3’o’clock In the morn- ing.
