10 . NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1868—TRIPLE SHEET. LECTURES LAST NIGHT. ane pagis, CITY OF LUXURY.” Lecture by Olive Logan. ‘Steinway Hall was fairly filled last evening bya Righly respectable audience, which had been gath- ered to listen to Miss Olive Logan’s lecture on “Paris, Clty of Luxury.” In commencing her remarks Miss ‘Logan stated that she should speak of those things which she had seen and heard during her residence 1m the gay capital of France, and begged the inaul- gence of the audience if she made use of the per- sonal pronoun frequently during the delivery of her lecture. She was a necessary evil in the lec- ture, ag she intended giving her personal ex- periences. When she first visited Paris there was an American gentleman in that city who was very much interested in the subject of street railroads, but who had since turned his atten- tion to the more uncertain subject of woman’s rights. George Francis Train, at the time of her arrival, had for some days been endeavoring to gain ‘the ear of Napoleon III. to speak to him on the sub- ject of bis beloved railroads, but had been endeavor- ing in vain. Subsequently by the ald of an officer of the household the subject was mentioned to the Emperor and he curtly refused to entertain any such scheme. He did not want to hear any prattle about American horse railways, ag Paris was not a city of utility, like New York, but was @ sty of luxury. No better description than this could be given of Paris, 1t was a city of luxurious not hum- drum or vulgar, but a city. which found its most perfect expression t#the quallty of luxury. Miss Logan’s first entrance into Paris was at night, and the first thing which attracted her attention was the magnificent manner in which it was lighted. ‘yhe first luxury which met her eyes was a lavish extravagance of gaslight. At this time the Hotel de Louvre was the first hotel in Paris. ‘To this Miss Logan went and discovered another of the luxuries of the city. The court yard was of marble, the roof of glass, and around it were ovis numerous shrubs and exquisite flowers, To the left of the building was @ broad marble staircase which led up to the hotel proper, at the foot of which stood a score of anxious servants, who met her with obse- quious courtesies. This hotel exhibited miany cor trasts to American hotels. The first of these con- trasts presented itself to her in the shape of a man, who entered her bedroom for the purpose of making her bed. This work she had always been led to sup- pose belonged peculiarly to the sex who can’t vote, but she soon found that woman’s sphere of useful- ness in Paris was much more extended than in America. Women were not only engaged in the capacity of cashiers at restaurants and dry goods establishments, but were also employed in selling tickets at railway depots and as ushers at concerts and theatres. Another difference which was notice- abie between French and American hotels was the absence of any such thing as a ladies’ parlor, Miss Logan asked a servant where this apartment could be round in the Hote! de Louvre, and found that he did not even know wiiat she meant. The only room for reunion in the house was the reading room, where the papers of the world could be found scat- tered upon the tables, and where also people from all parts of the world could be found reading them. One of the first annoyances which the lec- turer experienced arose from inability to speak French, notwithstanding an acccurate knowledge of Oliendorff’s method, gained atschool. Miss Logan gave an amusing account of an adventure in a shop in the window of which she saw the placard “English spoken here,” and said that Mr. Thackeray had told her that he had spent a whole morning in visiting shops where a similar a was exhibited, and had discovered seven shops where three words of English were spoken, ten ‘where the inmates knew one word and four where they could not speak a single word. iss Logan then went on to speak of security as one of the luxuries of Paris. In Paris more than in any other place were the people secure. They had come to the conclusion that it is impossible to put vice out of the world. Therefore no effort was made in that direction, but the most perfect system of lice in the world had been organized for the regu- tion of vice and the protection of society. The em- ployment of police spies was repugnant to every one, yet so extended was this system in Paris that gentie- men of every grade and nationality were tempted to become spies, and it was impossible to know whether your own friends did not belong to the order. The Enmperor and Empress often on a fine afternoon might be seen driving in the Champs Elysees. The imperial cortége consists of three or four open carriages, each drawn by six horses, rid- den by postillions dressed in uniforms of green and gold, the whole being preceded by a number of out- Tiders with tong whips to clear the way. In the first carriage, on the back seat, on the right hand side, the Empress sits, and in the other equipages are the ladies of honor, On the left hand side of the Em- ‘press sits one of her Majesty’s equerries. ‘The larshal de Caux, who recently ried Mile. Patt, filled this office for many years. With this equerry ‘the Empress chats, but never neglects to return the salutes of any who may recognize her, often keep- ang her sweetest smiles for workingmen and easants. The whole cavalcade is brought up the rear by a detachment of her Majesty’s dragoons. The Emperor occasionally drives in the -@hamps Elysees, but not often with the Empress, as their being seen frequentiy together is considered contrary to etiquette. Napoleon generally drives a uiet turnout, a high carriage drawn by two fast orees, and generally wears a overcoat in order ‘to look like Napoleon I. Speaking of the love of Parisians for outdoor life, Miss Logan said that this was one of the peculiarities of Paris luxury. Ameri- ans were prone to say the Parisians had no home lve, and to make use of the stupid statement “that there was no such word as home in the French lan- i was .”” No people, she said, loved home more ri riy then the French, both in the fireside sense a ud the broader love of native land. Miss Logan then described the manner in which p. 2rsons were presented to the imperial couple, gave ‘a: ‘account of acourt ball in the palace of the Tui- je, ‘les and described the feeling of caste which exists in Parisian society, The fair lecturer concluded by rer ‘inding her hearers that all was not bright and bri. Ulant in the gay city of luxury and giving more of | \er personal experiences to prove the statement. THIBET IN HIGH ASIA. Thir 4d Lecture by Professor Robert von Schlag- int Weit—The Country and the People of Thi bet—Their Customs aud Manners—Highly Inte Testing Disclosures. Prof or Robert von Schlagintweit delivered his third | ture on the interior of High Asia last even, ing at , Meinway Hall before a numerous audience. His fue: \t and easy style of speaking, his beauty of Janguage \ and aptness of illustration, have already made hin ' 80 popular that each successive lecture is attende @ by largely increased numbers, coming from the | Nest intelligent and educated portion of our Germ ‘DB residents. Having in his last lecture introduced 18 hearers into the rocky passes of the } Umalaya range from the south, the Profes, Or began yesterday by describing the descent orthward as being gently sloping, the very oppc ‘Site in form to the southern part, with jen, st ®€p, Wail-like elevation. The descent leads one nto ©6‘Thibet, and he minutely described the orcgraphical c figuration of this most interesting valiey, of whic @ he had already given a general out- line in the En, tUsh language before the American Geographical 2 Dd Statistical Society yn Monday evenng, the 7th inst. published in the Hr D of ‘Tuesday, the sth, . In addition to what he then said, aud going more i to detail, he stated that in Eastern ‘Yilbet there we: © Sixteen lakes, some larger and smaller, all) 0 very high altitudes, the highest yagar) bel, Wf 15,603, and the lowest (Iso M Jari) 14,010 { Yet above the level of the sea—the word “ise” meanit lake, No European had pene- trated inte this regs 9D since 1812, when Murcrofs, an Englishmay, ventnr '@ into the country, while West ere ihibet had be ‘B more explored from time to time by Cunnt: ham and others.

The ady Bt of the rainy Feason, the black clouds and heavy 1. aS eee and ’ on in early July were then described and alsa Mt last they started ont, atten (ed by a large caravan of Gutjas, with their sheep, which are made to carry from eight to ten pounds of grax 9 10 bage as freight.

Hall computed the limit of vegetation in the Andes at 15,769 and in the Alpe it is determined at 12,646, ‘trees were seen at the height of 13,457 feet, in front of the Buddhist convent of Mang- nang, higher than sarwncee elge in the world. Descending into the valley and reaching. Laptel they were met by a Chinese patrol under a mane, @ higher officer, evidently in waiting for them, their further progress was mop . The Professor gave a very lucid description of dress, armament and mode of life, introducing the mani-chosthorte: the ing cylinder, spoken of in the HERALD of the Bin instant, and stated that they were not pro- erly Chinese, but natives of the district of Gnari- um, called Hunias, whom some ethnographers claim to be the descendants of the Huns of old, who, under Attila, made Europe tremble at their feet, They are of the Mongolian race, and some bronze casts were exhibited to show the peculiar Mongol type in their formation. In religion they are Budd- hists. The Professor then entered into a humorous descripuion of the process by which these casts were taken from the neote of livi reons, saying that though it may pein he indir it did not hurt the cast. But the Huntas would not let them proceed, in spite of brandy and money gifts, for the order of the government was to stop them. The reason as- signed for this was fear of the British, for, if foreign- ers be ill-treated in the interior by the Napalese, the Chinese feared that the English would take revenge for it at Pekin. This involuntar: Btoppage ave the Professor an opportunity to exhibit Buddhist prayer books, amulets, rosaries, portable house altars and other religious trinkets, adding inveresting explanations to each. He also read from ®@ Buddhist book written by a lama or high priest, Mirgan Dordze, called the “Penitence for Sins, or the Golden Razor to cut away all sins,’ containing appeals to each of the thirty-six ‘Confession Budd- has” for the forgiveness of sins. He also exhibited Thibetan wood cuts and imprints from them. The Professor then described how they secretly fled from the Hunias at night, but were overtaken by them the folowing evening and considered prisoners of State; that they sent a messenger to Gabar, 14,966 feet high, the next city, where a high oficial ‘was stationed ; that they were released and received permission to travel within prescribed limits. ‘The manner of carrying messages was detailed, that post stations, Khasum, are located every six miles, and horsemen travel Irom post to post. Oilicial despatches had often been bartered to the enemy for bribes; they were then sealed to the bare back of the bearer, and to break the seal was treason, The city of Gartok was then pictured, visited before them by but one Kuropean, Murcroft, in 1812; they did not enter it, as it was too dangerous. ‘The yearly fair was held at the time, and there bemg not room enough for all the people irom afar a second city of tents had been built in the meadows, He spoke of the ruins of cities, palaces and temples they found, of polyandry, or plurality of husbands, two or more brothers having one wife, and the results of this practice upon the population; a description of the convent of Mang- hang at an altitude of 13,457 feet, with all the reil- gious instruments, among them trumpets made of huinan bones, followed, and the Protessor closed his lecture by stating that Buddhist priests are great gamblers, having circular cards of thick board, about two inches in diameter, divided into spindles, bird heads, human heads and balls, ten of each are numerical, from one (ace) to ten; one is the vezir and the twelfth the lama, the highest. With lond applause the audience thanked Profes- sor Von Schiagintweit for his exceedingly interest- ing and instructive discourse, AMUSEMENTS. BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF Music.—Mrs, Scott-Sid- dons appeared last evening as Rosalind, in Shaks- peare’s great comedy “As You Like It,” befgre an appreciative audience, and showed an improvement, if that were possible, upon her splendid display in New York. Her adaptability to the very diMcult role of Rosalind was evident from the first, and the frequent plaudits of the assemblage fully testified their approval of her excelient impersonation. The Academy was well suited for the more perfect pro- duction of the piece, which was decidedly well laced upon the stage, In the forest scenes Mrs. ott-Siddons shone to particular advan- tage. Her wonderful vivacity, archness and winning expression were manifested in a degree that elicited universal admiration, while her graceful ana finished gesticulations added much to the favorable impression which she de- servedly created. Mrs. Scott-Siddons exhibited a thorough knowledge of her part, and failed not to lace before her audience a clear and comprehensive idea of the author’s beautiful conception. In fine, her interpretation was an undoubted and decided success, acknowledged by the frequent tokens of ap- probation bestowed upon it. She was ably sup- orted by Mr. D. H. Harkins as the banished Duke. ‘hat gentleman is a good, sterling actor, without much pretension but with a good deal of talent. Touchstone found an excellent representative in Mr. Davidge, and, indeed, all the characters were more or less fairly represented. PARK THEATRE, BROOKLYN.—Last evening the effective and well known drama of “Jack Cade, or the Bondsman of Kent,”’ was performed at this fa- vorite and comfortable little theatre. Mr. Joseph Proctor appeared in one of his finest roles—that of Jack Cade—and acquitted himself in a most deserv- ing manner, to the entertainment of the spectators, which latter, it is to be regretted, were not as nu- merons as the occusion deserved. In the several superior passages which the play presents for the exercise and development of that impas- sioned style of acting in which Mr. Proctor excels the audience gave frequent expressions to their appreciation, The leading character was well supported by Mr. J. Z. Little, who sustained the ob- noxious character of Lord Say; Mr. W. Harris as the handsome Lord Clifford, Mr. F. Chippendale as the valiant Friar Lacy and the rest of the company. Miss Ellie Wren’s representation of Mariamne was @ vary fine effort on the part of that artist and met with well-merited applause. Miss T. Whitman as the bonnie Kate was quite charming in her rendition of that persecuted fairlass. The stage appointments were fair and the play went off very smootily throughout.

The water is to be brought down in steamers, In Antigua the Road, Health and Tarif acta re- main unchanged. Considerable trouble was caused by the enlistment as soldiers of agricultural hands who had been introduced in the colony at great ex- nse to the taxpayers. An examination of the Jats showed that of the male prisoners one-fifth ‘were boys between ten and seventeen years, and for the most part orphans. A Eeoanaor ls urged in consequence. The Chief Justiceship of Demarara is offered to Sir William Snagg, of Antigua. Delegates to the German Moravian Conference are to be sent from Antigua. The rain was ample and the crops looked well in consequence. From Tértola news has been received to October 27. Many of the laboring class are dying of starva- tion. Roots and grass are devoured by them to as- suage hunger, and dysentery ensues, owing to the roots being cooked without salt. To make things worse additional duties have been ia on bread- stuifs and an export duty of two dollars on calves. The consequence ig that the trade with St. Thomas is almost stopped, and few can rebuild their huts, destroyed in the convulsions of last fall. Our St. Kitts advices are to November 10. Much fault is found with the late despatches of Bucking- ham about the legislative status of the colony. The prospects of the crops were cheering, and it was ex- pected that the largest crop ever raised woald be got this year.

Since the case of smallpox brought by the steamer Tasmanian from Southampton all vessels from Great Britain have to undergo inspection by the King’s Physician. On the 9th ult, the English brigantine Fred Clarke, which had arrived in distress, stranded on the bar at Maracaibo and was dismasted. It is feared she will be a total loss. She lies eight miles from St. Carlos, on the strand. She had in a cargo of eighty tons fustic and 1,800 quintals coffee. No further particu- lars have reached here as yet. ,500, and ANNIVERSARY OF THE PROTESTANT HALF ORPHAN ASYLUM. Quite an interesting annual anniversary exhibi- tion of the society for the relief of half orphan and destitute children was held at the house of the in- stitution, in Tenth street, near Sixth avenue, last night. The lecture room had ranged on its benches some 200 children, girls and boys, looking well fed, clean and happy. ‘The portion allotted to the audience was filled with the friends of the institu- tion, the overplus blocking up the doors and filling the hallways. The exercises were commenced by the children singing “Nearer, my God, to Thee.” The annual report was then read, in which the mana- gers, while expressing their great thankfulness for the general results of the past year, expressed their sense of the loss they had sustained in the death of Eli Wainwright, one of the founders of the institution, who had been interested in tt for thirty-three years, and of Daniel Lord, who had been one of its most constant friends. They had had in the institution no sickness of special import. Most that had occurred had been brought on by chil dren newly admitted and had been easily controlled. The matron, Mrs, Vosburgh, had died during the past year, and her death was the only one that had oceurred in the house. ‘here had been during the year elghty-cight children admitted, eighty- one had been returned to their friends or parents, five had been placed out in the country and three had left without permission. There were now 326 in the asylum. The whole number that had been re- ceived there since its foundation was 2,819 Of the children whom they had sent out to neighboring places they had Yeceived commendations that Seemed almost exaggerated. The managers had come to the conclusion that too much attention had been given to the school room. It seemed to them that after the age of thirteen in the case of girls 1t would be better to Rive the chief attention to sewing, and in the case ef boys to send them to the country. Then fellowed a statement of the profi- ciency of the scholars in the various departments. In Conclusion the report spoke of the empty trea- sury as “no new subject’? and recommended the society to the pecuniary efforts of its members. The trustees’ report followed, and showed that a few months ago they had expected a debt of some $5,000 to $6,000, but by the efforts of the trustees this had been reduced to about $600; but about $300 was required at once for blankets, o that the debt to-day was about $900, which they called on their friends to raise. The treasurer's report showed that last year the treasurer was in advance $418; thia year the debt to him was increased to $580 03. The total re- ceipts of the past year had been $19,478 43; the to- tal expenses,. $20,053356. The institution 1s really entirely managed and con- trolled by ladies, and the management chosen for next year is:—First Directress, Mrs. George D, Phelps; Second Directress, Mra, Wm. G. Ball; Tr surer, Mrs, J. N. Bailly; Secretary, Mrs, Daniel D. Lord. The list of trustees is the same as last year, with one exception, J. H. Banker being substitu for Horace Gray. After the conciusion of the reading of the reports several addresses were made tothe children and the children themseives took part in singimg and decia- mation. The whoie was wound up by the choral, “We Three Kings of Orient Be," and the benedic- tion, after which all present were invited freely to examine the house and its departments, which ap- pear to be admirably suited for their purposes.

STATISTICS OF RAILWAY ROLLING STOCKS, [From the Philadelphia Globe, Dec. 11.] ‘There are in daily use on the 37,000 miles of rail- way in the United States not leas than 1,250,000 truck and car Wiens under 8,500 locomotives, 6,500 passenger cars, age and express cars and 160,000 freight cars. The available statistics show that passe’ cars make an annual mileage of 28,400 miles, or 88 76-100 miles per day of 320 days per annum; the average ioad borne on each car wheel to be 3% tons. With this load the average use of @ wheel is 45,000 miles or 1 58-100 years. On trains running at express speed the average Ife does not exceed ten months’ service, while wheels under tendergtrucks have a life of eighteen months, Under freight service in the State of New York, with an annual train mileage of 11,483,123 miles, transporting 75.5 tons of freight per train, the annual mileage per car was 14,649 milca, | each wheel bearing an average load of 1.47 tons, which gives 3,08 years as the life of @ freight wheel, corresponding with the experience of one of the principal roads in the State. But assuming the average life of ear wheels, under all kinds of ser- vice, as being five years, the total number of wheels worn out annually in the United States will not be legs than 250,000," At an average cost of eighteen collars per whee), allowing one half for their vaiue for the old wheel, the annual loss may be stated at $2,250,000, EUROPEAN MARKETS.
