FOR THE HERALD. BROADBRUVI'S PARIS LET TER. NO. 25. French and Amrican Post Offies. Many a man whose patience might have stood the test of coming home and finding all the buttons off of his shirt, just as he was going to dress for a swell dinner at the club, or of having his washerwoman in return for a dozen of his finest eambries, bring home a like number of the vilest Man hester cottons, would feel urged to profanity 7>f the most serious charac ter at the idiosyncracies of the French Post Office. I don't think that it is too strong a qualification to say that for insufferable stupidity and dirt the General Post Office Department at Jean Jacques Rousseau can scarcely be matched in the world. If a Post Office were simply a medium for the entertainment or convenience of the country in which it is located, its lo eal arrangements might answer very well, but unfortunately it is patronized by Chinese and Irish, Dutchmen and Yankees, English Fins, R.ussians and Turks, and while I do not propose to insist that thc Post Offie department shall be a college of modern languages. I do not think that it is asking too much to demand that at least they shal] know their own. What I complain of is not that they do not know Chinese or I.tsh, but they do not appear tc know anything else. It is not too high an estimate to say that, at the present time, fully one-third of the Paris mail is directed to English~ speaking people, and yet, at the Bureau de la Grande Poste at whicb which they are compelled to apply for their letters, there is not a single English speaking official. It is very possible that, in the local offices o: London, Manchester, New York o1 Pennsylvania, you may not always be able to find a talented and accom. plished French linguist, but most eer tainly either at the General Post Office in London or New York, Frenhman would not find the slight est difficulty in discovering some on' who would give him all the informna tion he required in his own vernacular Here you have to either speak Frencl or bring your own private interprete if you want a penny worth of postag stamps. The letter-boxes, common iu the streets of less civilized lands, are entirely unknown in Paris. You can not post a paper at the same office a which you post your letter unless i happens to be a Bureau de Grand Poste, and one evening I arrived a the station just as the postman, whi was gathering the evening mail, wa about closing his bags. On no con dition could I induce him to receiv my letter, so I walked down the Ave nue of the Chamips-Elysees along s.id of him, nearly a half of a mile, an went through the ceremony of drop ping it into the little box much to th *satisfaction of the Post Office officia who no dAubt, that he had taught th Yankee barbarian a wholesome lesson of respect for the laws of the Repub lic. To those who are only acquaint ed with the lubberly system of French Post Offices, the exhibit of the Yale Lock Co., must be quite a revelation. "It's not as deep as a well nor as wide as a church door, but it's enough;" it illustrates on a minor scale, to be sure, the splendid work ing of the American Post Office sys tem. The building itself is a unique little affair and looks as tbough it might have been gotten up for some lady's son or gentleman's daughter to play post office in ; the boxes are all of beautiful brouzed metal now in such general use in America, and it is al most laughable to see the curious eyes with which the crowd survey the Uiniature Yankee Post Office. In this particular the American Depart meut is ahead of every other. The letters of British exhibition are re ceived at the British commission,. and the letters addressed to the different nationalities are received in their re spective departments ; but in the American department alone is a regu. lar organized system with the same class of.lock boxes and all other postal conveniences that can be found in all the cities of the United States. To a newspaper man in the receipt, each week, of hundreds and hundreds of papers, this has been a most inesti mable boon, and the Yale Lock Com pany, when they selected Mr. Charles E. Manning as their representative, put the right man in the right place; and when he, in turn, selected Mr. Grenfell Williamson as his assistant, he showed a discrimination which does honor to his judgmert and he has laid the exhibitors of the Ameriean department under alasting obliga tion. The Agricultural display is the best and strongest portion of the American exhibit, and has had the good fortune to be under the special super vision of Dr. William McMurtrie, of Washington, and in classification and geueral arrangement he has succeeded in making his department one of the models of the Exposition. In no class of goods has the rivalry been more keen than in the- manufacture of agricultural machines. France and Belgium have splendid exhibits of ag ricultural machines of every class, and both of them have evidently found American ideas not only pleasant, but profitable. The English exhibit of agricultural machines and tools is simply appall ing. An immense annex to the main department is literally crammed with implements of every class and of a workmanship as fine as is usually be stowed upon a lady's watch. There are shovels burnished to a crocus pol ish and spades that look like shining silver. Lawn mowers and reapers, hay forks arnd feed cutters, threshers that look as though they could thrash any man or anything; in fact, genius seems to have exhausted itself in per feting some of these remarkable in ventions; but, notwithstanding the immense competition in agricultural machinery the United States have been awarded a number of gold med als, and the articles exhibited in the Agricultural Department have re ceived the highest commendation. The exhibit of Sewing Machines, the very point in which the United States were supposed to excel is un worthy of a county fair, and is sur passed by exhibits made all over in the United States from Maine to Min nesota. Rumors are current that the Ex hibition is to be kept open till No vember 10th. There has been a row in the direction and M. Krantz has tendered his resignation. The presence of the Russian Grand Duke with the splendid black horse on which he rode into Constantinople, has been one of the sensations of the week. His imperial Highness brought on a half dozen Russian couriers and his Imperial Highness' Royal droska. bThe monster balloon is now the ab sorbing topic. It is the largest bal loon that has ever been made in the world and is capable of carrying up twenty persons. The ascents are made from the Place du Carrousel and back of the ruined palace of the Tuileries. Twenty ascents are made a day at a cost of four dollars per head, which, considering the eleva tion, is not dear ; it often costs more than a paltry four dollars to get sc high up in the world. It was only 1e. lastwee that a romance took placi which resulted in a noce de balton, which I translate for the benefit of my non-classical geaders, as a mar riage in a ges bag. We cannot all be versed in "furrin" languages, you know. It was on Friday last, of all days in the week that a dashing blond% made an ascent in the balloon. The company was large and miscel laneous; but,lon the particular occa sion of which I write, it was con siderably more miscellaneous than usual: two Turks, a Chinaman, a Russian countess,;an Arab chief, the president of the Geological Society of Iceland, a couple of English tourists, the blonde of whom I have spoken, and a French creole from Louisiana with a frightfully suspicious curl to his hair, and a nose like a baked pear which covered nearly one-half o1 his face. He was not an Adonis from a Caucasian stand point, but his dress would have passed inspection of a Brummel or a D'Orsay. Now, if there is anything in Paris to which we pay no particular attention, it is a shade or two of color, to be candid a half dozen shades more or less seem to make no perceptable difference. "In joining contrasts lyeth loves delight," says Knowles. And the contrast between the dashing blonde and the distinguished Louisianian was quite sufficient for all ordinary pur poses. The blonde was dressed in light pink, the dress being cut ex treme decollete and displaying a wealth of charms usually confined to exhibitions of Greek slaves and ana tomical Venuses. The word was given to start and up went the balloon like a bird ; up up, up it went, till men and women on the Place de ]a Concorde looked hardly bigger than mosquitoes, and the carriages along the Champs-Elysees looked just like creeping mice. The Chinaman was seized with a sudden fright for fear the balloon might break loose, and tumbled all in a heap across the Russian countess who was already suffering from vertigo. The English tourists lost head, and the next min ute the two Turks and the Arab chief went by the board; the blonde went next and the gentleman from Louis iana, undismayed by the disaster, re mained sole master of the situation. Hie raised the blonde gently in his arms and applied to her beautiful nose the most delicate flacon of per fume; he chafed her brow, he patted her palms and resorted to all those delicat,e little stratagems by which fainting ladies are restored. The balloon had got half way down before she opened her beautiful blue eyes beaming with gratitutie on her preserver. Now isn't that pretty ? By the time that the balloon was well fast, friendship had ripened into love. That night they were married by tho cure of one of the most fash ionable churches in Paris, and ever since they have been one of the most marked sensations among the visitors to the Exposition. They say that there is no doubt about the per manency of their contract for they have it down in black and white. Truly yours, BROADBRIM. "SHUT Youa MoUT.'-Catlin' taught the world the importance of shutting the mouth and breath ing through the nose. It~ would seem that his little book, entitled "Shut your mouth," is bearing fruit in Germany, and where new thoughts receive more attention from physicians than anywhere else in the world. Respiration by the mouth is easier than by the nose, but it is not so safe. The noe to a certain extent, fits the air for entering the lungs. The sense of smell warns us against breathing an air loaded with poisonous vapors. The moisture of the nasal cavities to some ex tent saturates the air, and makes it less irritating to the throat and larynx. The mucus of the nasal passage and the hairs catch the dust before it goes far enough to harm. On the other hand breath ing through the mouth dries the throat, and in children may cause false croup, catarrh, and it may so effect the eustachain tube as to cause injury to the ear and deaf ness. Habits of meekness, gentleness, charity, deep, pure and enduring, must be begun here, that they mae cnonmpleted in Heaven. nqp W jM. R,qqRpXA.U .11. Bungay, the real estate agen over at Pencader, suspected tha Mrs. Bungay didn't care as muel for him as she onght to. So ont day he went up to the city, aftei leaving word that he would b< gone for two or three days. Whilk there he arranged with a frient to send a telegram to his wife, al a certain hour announcing that h( had been run over on the railroac and been killed. Then Bungay came home, and slipping into the house unper ceived, he secreted himself in th( closet in the sitting-room, -c await the arrival of the telegrau and to see bow Mrs. Bungay tooh it. After a while it came, and h( saw the servant girl give it to hit wife. She opened it, and as sht read it she gave one little start, Then Bungay saw a smile grad nally overspread her features She rung for the girl, and wheE the servant came Mrs. Bunga3 said: "Mary, Mr. Bungay has beer killed. I've just got the news. I reckon I'll have to put on blac for him, though I hate to give ul my new bonnet for mourning You just go round to the milliner'i and ask her to fetch me up somc of the newest styles of widow'i bonnets, and tie a piece of blach crape on the door, and then bring the undertaker here." W hile Mrs. Bungay was waiting she smiled continually, and onc or twice she danced around thf room, and stood in front of the mirror, and Bungay heard hei murmur to herself: "I ain't a bad looking woman either. I wonder what Jamei will think of me ?" "James I" thought Bungay, aE his widow took her seat and sang softly, as if she felt particularly happy. "Who in thunder is James She certainly can't mean that in famous old undertaker, Toomball His name's James, and he's - widower; but it's preposteroui that she cares for him, or isgoing to prowl after any man for a hus band as quick as this." While he brooded in horror over the thought, Mr. Toombs arrived. The widow said : "Mr. Toombs, B3ungay is dead run over by a locomotive and chopped all up." "Very sorry to bear it ; I sym pathize with you in your affic tion." "Tha6k you; it is pretty sad But I don't worry much. Bun gay was a poor sort of a man t< get along with, and now that he'i dead, I'm going to stand it with out crying my eyes out. We. wil have to bury him, I suppose though ?" "That is the usual thing to d< in such cases."~ "Well, I want you to 'tend to il for me. I reckon the coronel will have to sit on him first. Bua when they get thrdugh, if you'l collect the. pieces and shake hin into some kind of a bag and pac him into a coffn, I'll be obliged.' "Certainly, Mrs. Bungay. Whei do you want the funeral to oc cr?" "Oh most any day; P'rhapi the sooner the better so's we cai have it over. It'll save expense by taking less ice. I don't wan to spend much money on it, Mx Toombs. Rig up some kind of cheap coffn, and mark his nam on it with a brush, and bury hii with as little fuss as possible. I'] come along with a couple o friends ; and we'll walk. No car riages. Times are too hard." "I'll attend to it." "And, Mr. Toombs, there i another matter. Mr. Bungay' life was insured for about twent: thousand dollars, and I want t get it as soon as possible, a~ then I shall think of marryin again." "Indeed, Madam !". "Yes ; and can you think of any body who will suit me ?" "I dunno. 1 might. Twent] thousand you say he left?" "T wenty thousand; yes. Now Mr. Toombs, y ou'll think me bold but I only tell the honest truti when I say that I prefer a wid -we, and a man who is abou miaaie age, ana in some ousiness connected with cemeteries." "How would an undertaker suit you ?" "I think very well, if I could find one. I often told Bungay - that I wished he was an under taker." "Well, Mrs. Bungay, it's a little kind of sudden; I haven't thought much about it; and old Bungay's hardly got fairly settled in the world of the hereafter, but business is business, and if you must have an undertaker to love you and look after that life insurance money, it appears to me that I am just about that kind of a man. Will you take me?" "Oh, James! fold me to your bosom I" James was just about to fold her, when Bungay, white with rage, burst from the closet, and exclaimed : "Unhand her villain! Touch that woman and you die ! Leave this house at once, or I'll braln you with a poker! And as for you, Mrs. Bungay, you can pack up your duds and quit. I've done with you. I know now that you are a cold-hearted, faithless, abom. inable wretch ! Go, and go at once! I did this to try you, and my eyes are opened." "I know you did, and I con cluded to pay you in your own coin." "That't too awful thin. It won't hold water." "It's true, anyhow. You told Mr. Magill you were going to do it, and he told me." "He did, hey ? I'll bust the head off of him." "When you are really dead, I will be a good deal more sorry, provided you don't make such a fool of yourself while you are alive." "You will ? You will really be sorry ?" "Of course." "And you won't marry Toombs? Where is that man Toombs? By George, I'll go for him now ! He was wighty hungry for that life insurance money ! I'll step around and kick him at once, while I'm mad. We'll talk this over when I come back." Then Bungay left to call upon Toombs, and when he returned he dropped the .subject. He has drawn up his will so that.his wife is cut off with a shilling.if she employs him as the undertaker. A Pamz.-"I will say but one thing in praise of my daughter," said a happy father at that daugh ter's wedding-breakfast. "She is -a thorough and practical house keeper." Could any compliment have been higher ? What an in dorsement it was of the good sense and prospective comfort of her husband ! For a man has so much of the animal in his nature that be cares more for a good Sdinner than he does-so long as Shis appetite is unappeased-to listen to the music of the spheres. Heavy bread has made many heavy hearts, given rise to dys pepsia and its herd of accompany - ing torments. Girls who desire that their husbands should be Samiable and kind should learn to Smake light bread. A story is told of a happy wife who, when asked Lhow she managed her husband so -successfully, replied, with a ro Lguish smile, "My dear, I feed him Swell.". There is a great deal in Sthat. Those wives who are en 1tirely dependent upon hired cooks ~make a sorry show at housekeep - ing. The stomach performs a very important part in the econo my of humanity ; and those who Sare forgetful of this fact commit a a serious mistake. Even the lion Smay be tamed by keeping him 'well-fed. Speak kindly at night, for it may be that before the dawn some loved one may finish his or -her space of life for this world, and it would be too late to ask forgiveness. It is good to be deaf when the slanderer begins to talk. -Presumption first blhnds a man, b then sets him running. %z&&ft UV "AE HAS AN AXE TO GRIND." No owe more of our common sayings and pithy proverbs to Dr. Franklin than many of us think or know. We say of one who flatteis or serves us for the sake of some secret, selfish gain or favor, "Ho has an axe to grind." In the doctor's "Memories" is the following story, which explains the origin of the phrase. Frank Un says: When- I was a little boy, I re member, one cold winter morning I was accosted by a smiling man with an axe on his shoulde:. "Mv little boy," said he, "has your father a grindstone?" "Yes, ir," said I. "4You are a fine little fellow," said he. "Will you let'me grind an axe on it ?" Pleased with the compliment of "a fine little fellow," "Oh, yes, sir," I answered; "it is down in the shop." "And will you, my man," said he, patting me on the head, "get me a little hot water?" How could I refuse ? I ran and soon brought a kettleful. "How old are you? and what's your name ?" continued he, with out waiting for a reply. -"I'm sure you are one of the finest lads that ever I have seen. Will you turn a few minutes for me?" Tickled with the flattery, like a fool I went to work, and bitterly did. I rue the day. It was a new axe, and I toiled and tugged till I was almost tired to death. The school bell rAng and I could not get away; my hands were blistered and it was- not half ground. At length, however, the axe was sharpened, and the man turned to me saying: "Now, you little rascal, you've played the truant; now scuhd away to suhool or you'll get it." Alas! thought I, it was hard enough to turn a grindstone this cold day, but now to be called a rascal was too much. It suink deep in my mind, and often have I thought of it since. When a merchant is over-polite t6, his customers, begging them to. take a little brandy, and throwing his goods on the counter, thinks I, "That man has an axe to grind." When I see a man flattering the people, making great pro fessions of liberty and prating loudly about economy, who is in private a tyrant, methinks, "Look out, good .people, that fellow would see you turning a grind stone." Beware of people who pay com pliments when there is no par. ticular occasion for so doing. They have an axe to grind, and it is not yours. A young girl discovered her young . brother out behind the shed the other day pulling away at a cigarette. "There, young man I" she exclaimed, as the ci garette hastily disappeared be bind the boy's back : "I'll tell your father. on you-see if I don't". "Yes, tell him," retorted the brother, suddenly recovering himself; "you tell 'im. an' see how quick that fellow - o' yourn I'll ship." I'll tell father how you an' 'm was sittin' on the parlor sofa, an' him a huggin' you. You just go an' tell, that's all I ask." The sister very discreetly with drew; while the young statesman finished his smoke in tranquility The promises of Jesus are not to us like the legacies of one long dead; they are not the words merely of a great philosopher, like the Grecian sage, whom death has severed from all personal con tact with our mode .n life. They are the assurances of a living and present though unseen friend ; and, when so accepted, they are full of power.] Make yourself all honey, and you'll soon find flies to devour you. Let them obey who know how to rule. The head is ever the dupe of the
