At the second teour vote in congress at Versailles, M. Le Royer, speaker, an- nounced the result that Sadi-Carnot had been elected president by 616 out of a total of 843 votes. At aquarter to 7 this evening all solve to maintain and accentuate the dig- nity and strength of the fivst magistrate of the nation, The scene at the famous Hotel des Reservoir was highly picturesque at about noon, the dining room being filled with over a hundred of the most distinguished public men of Fance, The waiters were un- | the deputies of the extreme left, left and cen- ableto serve them, and scnators, deputies | ter—all, in fact, except the reactionaries— and journalists all rushed about in the | $t0od up and grected the announcement with utmost confusion, everbody helping | tremendous cheers and clapping of hands, himself.

The first tour resulted in 303 for Sadi-Carnot, 213 for Ferry, 145 for Saussier, and ancinsignificant scattering for Freyeinet, Appert, Brisson, Pasteur and others. As no one secured the required ma- Jority a recess was taken 'till 30'clock, during which Ferry stood in the midst of the group and deelared: “I am perfectly willing to withdraw my eandidature, Tt is on the whole the best thing for France, for 1 never wish 10 have it on my conscience that I should do wnything likely to plunge France into civil War or to cause blocdstied in Puris.

ALL PARIS ON PARADE. At 9 0'clock everyone has dined and a good many and all Paris is in the strects under bright lights, The great boulevards are sought and the great plazas are gencrally crammed with people. In front and around the Grand opera house, where “Faust” is Being sung, are 10,000 people standing. Hun- dreds of electric lights and gas jets shone. The “Marscilles” and the revolutionary armagole” now and then go up from a at least 5,000 voices, while occasion- ally battallions of soldiers and troops of cav- alry go past the Herald oftice on the way back choru of COMPLINENTS, Paris to-night is overflowing with delight and republican enthusiasm. All feel con- vinced that the cleetion of Badi Carnot means peace. The mew president, after a stay of only a few minutes at the Elysce, drove off to his private residence in the Rue de Bassino, near the Ave Triomphe, which he reached at 10 o'clock. Half an hour latera crowd of some five hundred people marched up to the house shouting, “Vive Carnot.” “Vive ia Re- publique.” Carnot came out and expressed his thanks. He gaid: “I thank you my fellow citizens, for this demonstration for your acclamation. Like yourselves, T am warmly grateful to the republic. Now, show that you are good citi- zens and go home quietly.,’ ! The men waved tneir hats and frantically applauded the first public specch made by the new president. Oncof them presented him with a bouquet, saying “It is in the name of France.” Then they unfurled the tricolor flag and marched off merrily towards the Champs Elyse, singing the “Marseilles.” While this demonstration was taking place T wasreceived most cordially Ly the presi- dent-elect, who, in reply to my congratula- tions, turned to me and said: “Idecply appreciate the congratulations that come to me from the United States, I feel almost sure that during my tenure of oftice we shall entertain the most friendly velations with all foreign countrics.” e Life Sketch of Sadi Carnot.

Another was a rich black velvet, long velvet train with brocaded silk front, corsage delcol; lete and made of velvet. The visiting gown was of black chantilly lace, with black velvet insertion, a long waiste of black lace and velvet front, fitting high in the neck and. making a striking effect of the length of the waiste.

Such repre- sentatives are not so numerous on the con- servative as on the opposition side, but ex- amples may be found even among the old aristocracy party, [ may mention Stephen, a maker and seller of ink, and General Da- vis, a distiller of acid, a contract very shaky on the letter “H.” There are five or six brewers and v stock broker: The conservatives can also boast of Newnes, pro- prietor of a paper which would be cast out with scorn from gilded saloons, The present secretary of the treasury, like General Grant, was a tanner. The president of the local government board—Ritchie—is in the jute trade. Is not the leader of the house a news- vender and what was Lord Salisbury for many years but a journalist? But perhaps a journalist does mot lock upon himself as in trade. There is no great branch of business which has not sent a conservative delegate to the house of commons, On the other side we can boast among the Irish representatives of Blane, a talor, one of the worst dressed men in the house of commons. We have also Mat Har a bricklayer, now described as o builder; Gilhooly, a dry goods dealer; Jordan, a cattle driver; Lane, asalesman; McDonald, a whisky distiller; Bernard Keeler, a grocer’s assistant; two public house kecpers, & watch maker and any number of unknown ourndlists, besides some famous ones, like McCarty, O'Kelly, and among the Gladstonians we have a flower seed dealer, two workingmen, much speeted, a mason, a schoolmaster and o car- penter. There ave several brewers and no end of lawyers, Altogether we have 133 law- yers in the house and sixty-two railroad di- rectors, The latter contingent take good re- care that the railroads shall never suffer, no matter which party may be in power. You ‘will see then that Maples is not likely to be boycotted be- cause hie sells goods, when the aristocrats themselves are only too glad to find an open- ing in trade. The ordinary storekecper holds himself quite as good as they—perhaps bet- cause hie s in & position to pay his debts, 1 could scarcely reckon up the number of swells who have gone into business near Alexandria hotel, opposite Hyde ark. There is a ladies’ dressmaker, with a foreign name, over the door. It is really kept by an ex-masher, Bertic Stopford , cousin to General the Earl of Courton. Another of the well-known ladies is Mme. Isebells. Her husband was an officer in one of England’s crack regiments, the Fourteenth hassars, A sister-in-law of the eleventh Marquis of Huntley keeps a baby linen shop. A son of the Duke of Rigg'eisin the wine trade and another is a broker, After all, most of these people are only re- s to the level from which they sprung. Was not the ancestor of the Earl of Esscx a tailor, and of the proud Earl of War wool stapler? The Earl of Ducie also owes his origin to a tailor. Lord Tankerville traces his blue blood to a 8ilk mercer, Lord Dartmouth to a skinner, Lord Annally to a money-lender. Not a single male descend- ant remains in the British aristocracy of any of the carls or bavons created by the Norman kings nor of any of the Runnimeade, and out of the sixty Eng- lish peerage surviving down to Elizabeth, forty-one are now extinet. It would never do to inquire too curiously into the exact causes for which existing peerages were granted. Maples, the furniture man, may well keep up a good countenance though ho finds himself associated with aristocracy. He will doubtless be elected to the Carleton, ‘Why not! Ithink the people are there who have no better right to membership, Every- body in London would agree with this re- marlk if I were only free to mention names, Maples may not be so polished as his tables but he cannot be a more k a now vulgar man or a greater bore than some of his party associates. He will now be introduced at court and go to the quecn’s garden parties and balls. He will be uo more out of place than many others whose hands are not quite so clean as Maples.” Let us hope he will soon be joined in parliament by Wirtley, the universal provider, by Pears’ soap and Epp's gocoa.

This parliament, barring carthquakes and arose. is resign, conse other abnormal convulsions, will last nearly five years more. Many people dislike that prospect and they try to soften it by building castles in the air, but the big battalions are with the unionists and they win in politics. 1f, indeed, Gladstone were to die and a Hart- ington-Chamberlain government be formed there is no telling what might be the conse- quences. A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. THE BERLIN BUDGET. How Germany Rogards Carnot's Elec- on—Her Relations With Russia. (Copyright 1857 by New York Associated Press.) Beruiy, Dee. 8.—Oficial and diplomatic 's in Berlin were absorbed in to-day’s developments in Paris but public inte was not at all strained. An unceasing stream of telegrams poured into the foreign office and the details of voting at Versailles were, without delay, telegraphed to Fricdrichrube, The election of Saidi-Carnot is better re- ceived in oficial circles than would have been that of De Freyeinet or Ferry. The new president is considered to be a feeble man and one who would be unwilling to consent to the complications which might bring about European-war. It is also believed he wlll be unable to make alliances against Germany. His personal preferences are for a neutral Pacific policy, and he will try to govern through a ministry with the same tendencics. Telegrams re- ceived liere from y at Paris record the gratifying fact that, though it was considered necessary to guard the ap- proaches to the embassy, everything was peaceful during the cxeitement. The utter absence of any anti-German demonstration, the efforts of Deroulede and others to pro- vokea patriotic ebullition finding no res- ponses, is raising T of a prolonged as- suagement of the revanche sentiment, On the side of Russia the situation still continues grave. The czar has failed to gain control of the anti-Teutonic party, and if he himself is convincea of the friendly inten- tions of the German government he has been unable to pursuade the majority in the imperial council that some practical measures are necessary to restore an entente. In the me man personncl in the ministry rema power and an of De Giers in- structing the press to cease altacking Gor- many is defied. The severest contest during the session of the reichstag will be that over the bill mak- ing the legislative period five instead of three years. The bill is practically a government st the German emba: itime the anti-Ger- n order affair. The ofiicial organs support the pro- posal strongly on the ground that it will relieve the people of the disturbing influcnces of often recurring clections, while giving greater moral independence to the parliament. - There will be a flerce and a venomed fight before the measure passes, but it will pass with a solid majority equalling the septennate vote. No combination can defeat any bill having the suport of the gov- ernment groups. The project to organize the landwehr and landstrum is still before the bundesrath, but some of its provisions were made known to-night. No official estimates have yet been issued as to what result the project will have in strengthening the reserve, but it is reported that it will inercase the defensive force of the empire by 400,000 men.

HERCULES OF TWO HEMISPHERES Jake and Jom Engaged in Juggling Sandbags, VARIED PROGRAMME OF TRAINING The Former Taking Occaelonal Spins With Pedestrian Rowell. JOHNL. AND CHHARLEY MITCHELW Different Opinions As to the Coming Fight Between Them, With the Among the Fighters. (Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxnoy, Dec. 8.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Berk.|—Jake Kilraid is training for his coming fight at a tranquil scaside spot on the southeast coast of Engt land, the exact locality being for varioud reasons kept quiet. It was made ready by lus friends and by request the Herald conv respondent visited it to-day. After two and ahalf hours of mountainous railway ride arrived at a small seaport town, where, ioaQ respectable-looking cottage fronting tha beach, T found Kilrain and Mitchell residing, and on inquiring for Kilvain or Mitchell and presenting a Herald card, T was shown into the Dbilliard room of the residence. I found Mitchell and Cl@rley Roweli overa game, they talking freely while proceeding with it, while Kilrain came in just before th finish and when the game was’ over, to m; questions us to Kilrain's methods and habits here, Mitchell gave this narrative: ‘‘Jake rvises abotut 0:20 every morning and goes out for u long walk with Rowell along the seas shore until 8:30, then back to breakfast, which consists of cither beefsteak, mutton chops and fish or grilled fowl, as he wishes, and whicli is varied daily. He then rests foy an hour and goes out again at 10 a. m., wearing heavy sweaters, and does from fife teen to twenty miles running and walking im company with Rowell. This he varies with bouts with a twenty-pound air bag. Wlhen he comes baclk to the house he has a bath in sea followed by one hour's good rubbing with Irish whisky for his body and linimen$ for his legs. Then Juke takes light recreate ing, such as billiards, until dinner, which s at 1:30 p. m., consisting of roast beef or mutton, a little greens and stale bread, but no potatoes and half @ pint of old ale after dinner. He pickles hig hands to toughen the skin, The ingredients are vinegar, horse radish and rock sait. Then follows Indian club excreise, dumb bells and punching the heavy bag for an hour. He is next rubbed down with whisky all over and this performance takes till supper or tea time,’ which consists of anything light that he fan- cies devoid of fat. He sometimes Las a little isinglass, then rests for about threc-quarters of an hour, whenr he takes an easy stroil for about an hour, comes home, writes his corres spondence for the day and g0os to bed &t 9:30 after a good rub down, rning to Mitchell Tasked him about his own coming fight with Sullivan, wlen ha said: “I have plenty of time toget in fighting cons dition to meet him after Kilrain's fight is over, when I shall make similar training to what Kilrain is doing now, bet I fecl so wel] now that Tam sure I can get myself fit to fight Sullivan in three weeks,, I am very much pleased that the match has been made and especially for some time ahead, so that Sullivan can get himself fit and there cannot be any excuse for his being out of condition ‘when Le meets me, when I hope and feel cers tain of showing to the American, as well as’ the English people, that Sullivan is nothing but a wind-bag." Juke Kilrain, who had been out of the room for a few moments, came back now, attived in a dark-blue flannel shirt, with white swelter underncath, and fancy Tam O'Shanter cap. It was now I noticed bis altered appearance sinco I deseribed his debut in St. Jumes hall. He had his moustache shaved, or, ashe himself said, “My point of beauty has gone.” He looks to Liis pictures, which are freely sold heve now, and said as regards Smith: = “I have only met him for o moméni, when I merely shook hands with him. 1 then | found him a pleasant fellow to talk to. Oh, yes, T feel confident that I shall win my fight with Smith. If Twin Ishall over fighiting It is too much work to keep in e you and other people stay in am almobt quite contradictor training w Loadon sceing the sights, and T bu. alive ) Tam about twenty-cight pounds lighter than v 1 left Amcrics, - and 1 fecl all the better for it, only they v me cat and drivk cnough.” “No," added Mitchell, “%e wants to drink too muck: tea.” “Perlaps you ave ¢ it, Charley,” said Kil- rain, laughing, and added, “as for Sullivan, if hie means to flght he had several ck a of carning more money t nees im 1 ever he , which I wanted him to As regards Mitchell's Sullivan, I think Mitchell is : as Sullivan and five times as 9 Lim, and T think in aknuckle. | teholl will win and 1 hope he will win when, unlike Sullivan, 1 shall nevegess saying s0." turned to Charley Rowell, who had 2 a game of bililards with Willie harley's brother, when he said: could not possibly be better tham hie is ut present, and I know, undoubtedly from expericnee, he can hit awfully hurd, d I think he will beat Smith.” i We all now adjourn2d to a siting 1peEs In Just fini
