"Oh, no, slr; .this is the lady 1 desire to marry l" , replied the youth, as the lady drew aside her veil, disclosing a? countenance wrinkled and sere, bnt ou which, for the moment, gleamed a sort of icy smile. "But, are you of ager" "Not yet; but thia lady ls my guardian." The maglstrato was rn a quandary. "Isn't thu? rather a strange union V he asked. "Not at ail," replied thc ex? pectant bride. "I have a large-amount of prop ... erty which I desire to leave this young man.

"Well, I shouldn't marry her for anything ?lse I" frankly replied the boylover.. .'.'She ain't pretty." -A list " of- fourteen private residences, now % twining on Fifth avenue, is given aa an evidence j?f .of, the growth of^luxury in New York. These , hons<3 cost from $150,000 to $50,000 apiece, and ; that merely for construction, excluding the value of the land and the furnishing. Indeed, the sud j i den extinguishment of Paris as a centre of luxury - and fashion seems to have inspired New York i with the purpose. to assume the vacant placo. We hear of the furniture which ls going into these republican palaces as representing sums of . money capable of expression only by six figures. Bedsteads, whose wood work alone costs 92000 t sideboards, whose vaiuo ls . $3Q00; etegerea > costing $4000, are' among - the articles ' and that this ls not a spasmodic extravagance . Li.Bhown by the fact that a leading up? holstery establishment - or the city keeps on hand a. stock valued at one million, and does a " thriving business. The mah. who nan afford to II ve in a 1100,000 have and sleep on a .$ 2000 bed stead may be considered well off financially, and he who can arrange an entire establishment on that scale without violating the rules of artistic harmony and propriety has the-best right ia the . worK to -spend his money ?xx that way. . If the millionaires of New York can wed the culture of the old world, to their money, they may succeed in reprodnclag Paris on thu side of the Atlantic, . provided they keep their streets cleaner. STUXFIXG THE BA.ZLOT-BOXES. Klee tion Frauds tn Chesterfield. County. [From the Cheraw Democrat.] : . The election in this county, though resulting in the election of the Reform candidates, was con : ducted at two-polls (Oro and Old Store) la the most fraudulent and viUanous manner. Tho Reform party had their tickets numbered, and bad com u ittees at each poll to keep an account of them . as-they wore deposited m the box; by this means the committee at tho poll knew tue exact number of Reform votes put m to tho boxes by the time . the potts were closed; they also kept an exact ac? count of the number of Radical votes polled. When, the potts at Old Store were closed not exceeding ai- votes had been polled, and of these the Heformers had a majority of 98 or' 99; yet when they were counted at the courthouse they had increased to 379, and a ... Radical majority of 89. It can be proven that -' en the closing of the polls there were not exceeding 215 names on the poll list, and 379 tickets were found In the box at the counting, the commissioners refusing to show thc list.- A Oro, while tho number ot votes had not lncreas ed, the numbered Reform tickets had been taken .eut, and bogus Reform tickets printed in imita? tion of the genuine put m their places; most of these bad Donaldson's name pasted over Davall's; when this was not done Duvall's name was print? ed G. M. Du Tall : MI Hough's printed M. L. Buugh, and using wrong initials in each name through? out the ticket, thus making lt a loss to the Re? formers, lt can- be proved that the managen-, after the closing of the poll gave the box m charge of JUo. McCnlla, at his-house; that one Peat, a brother-in-law of R. J. Donaldson (Radical candi? date for senator) left Cheraw on the night of the elections early next morning, passed Chester? field O.K. about daybreak, going in the direc? tion of Oro, and was givea-aocesa ro tho box by McCatta. lt la confidently believed that these were the parties who abstracted the Reform votes, and replaced them with thc ones wc have descr?o od. On the Saturday afternoon previous to the election, R. J. Donaldson applied to us to print him Ave hundred Radical tickets, which we con? sented to do, but after the contract was made he requested tho same kiud of paper and style of type bc used which we had used in printing the Reform tickets; we became convinced that he de Blrcdto deceive Reform voters, and refused to print them. They doubtless were Intended to de? ceive Ignorant; voters or to be used In stuning box ea, as those at Old store und Oro were stuifcd; and could his creatures have obtained access to tuc boxes of the oilier polls, no doubt this county would have been lost to thc Reformers. But for the stuning of thc two.boxes the Reform ticket would have had over 400 majority; as lt ls, it ls reduced to something less. We will publish the full statement m our next issue. THE DOUBLE BABY. Dctnlkof thc. Wnnddful Freak Of Na? ture in Ohio. [De'awaro (Ohio) Cor. Cincinnati Commercial.1 Our community ls much excited over a freak .if nature in the production of a double baby. The Siamese Twins are completely overshadowed jy this lnl.mt wonder. There ls living In Peru Township, kforrow County, a family named Fin lev. Up to last Wednesday morning it consisted )f Mr. Joseph Finley, his wife Mary and two cull tren, little Kin's, aged three and live years. On that morning Mrs. Finley was confined and gave )lrth to twins joined together La a manner un mown to the books. When the gossips brought he news of the ?went to our city, and gave de icrlptlons of thc child, or rather children, lt vas laughed at by the professional, and pro ?ounced a good hoax. A gentleman living n tho vicinity of the Finley home called on me of our physicians and assured him. that herc was no exaggeration In the description, is h6 had seen thc wonder. Convinced that here was something in the case, a party ?f gentlemen, consisting of Drs.-aJ. A. Little and ". B. Wunama. W. 0. Seamens, Professor of Na tu? ai History and Chemistry in the Ohio Wesleyan Jnlverslty, and S. K. Donavin, on thc 10th instant, isited the family. Before reaching the Finley arm, the party called on Dr. A. E. Westbrook, of j Lshley, who had been called to attend the mother, ind learned from him that the half had not been old. Dr. Westbrook accompanied the party. An mar's drive brought them to the place. On going o the gate leading to the yard, a written notice vas discovered announcing that visitors would mt be admitted. This did not deter the party, [hey Immediately entered the yard, and on reacti? ng the fron: door of the dwelling they were met >y Mr. Finley (the father) and a gentleman who ippeared to be acting as his ald-de-camp, who ln ormed the party that they could be admitted to eo the show on the payment of t wen ty- fl vc cents sch. The professor promptly forked over, and he party stepped tn. in a few minutes the norse nade her appearance with the wonder. A double ?luid was exhibited. Two perfectly formed heads, ne on either end of the spinal column. To give a clear idea of lt, Just suppose that yon over the bodies sf two men at the lower part of I he abdomen, and then put the two upper parts j ogetaer, and you have the trunk of this child. it the instance of Dre. Williams and Little, the tothlng was taken from lt, and a critical ex mination was made, so far as could be without oing injury. Prom the occiput or one child to he occiput of the other, there Is a continuous pine m a direct Hue. Dpon one sido and direct i v i the centre of the trunk were perfectly developed Ipa, thighs, legs and feet. They are tn nice pro ortioa to the body of either child. On tue oppo Ite eldo there ls one large, Imperfectly formed leg, resenting the appearance of the consolidation ol' wo legs. There are eight toes on this limb, two f which havo the appearance of great toes, being inch larger than the others. Each has a well armed head, good features, good chest, good rms and hands, lungs, heart, liver and stomach, let ween the perfectly formed Umba, and properly ituated, are the anus and sexual organs In com? ae.:,. The lower portion of tho bowel", the bind? er, and perhaps the kidneys, are m common, di tho other organs are separate. . There was but one umbilical cord and one Jacenta. The length of the body ls twenty inch s, and the umbilicus is central In tho abdomen nd equl-dlstant from each head, it nurses well t both ends; and when first exhibited to the arty, one child was asleep and the other was rylng While thc physicians were making their xamluations, both cried, but a few minutes after tie one which was crying first went to sleep, rhile tho other remained awake. When either ead-would cry. tho perfect lc? which waa near 3t to that head kinked and drew up, while tho lg nearest the other iiead remained quiet. When thor cried the toes on the imperfect foot would tove, but thc limb remained stationary. Both cads nurse weU, r.ud the child, or rather ehtld in, are In excellent health. The physicians auld see no ruasou why lt, or they, should not ve. The motlier ls doing well. There was no byslclan present at the birth, and the lahor auiB lusted only fifteen minutes. Mr. Finley is ulive to tho Importance and value f this addition to his family. He ls now charging atc money, and he informed thc writer that he ad already entered Into an article of agreement rtth a gent lem au for the sale of the body If it hould die. Price fixed, $10,ooo. Negotiations te m progress for Its exhibition If it lives. He ls"| unvlnced that there is money in lt, dead or a' ive, ut thinks there ls most in thu latter condition. Fe says that be ls conscious of the fact that he is an untamed man, but has souse enough not i be fooled out of lt." BBUXTS OB THE GERM AN TRIUMPHS. Magnificent Spoil* of War.

THE MOON A QEAJD STAR. A Terrible Theory. Aa exchange has translated an article irom the Cosmos, in which Stanislas Meuaicr gives some curions speculations with regard to the pre? sent physical condition of the moon. Iiis theory ls, and he has the support of emi? nent astronomers like Boer. Moedler and Arago, that the moon ls a dead star. Ile draws this in. terence from a singular appearance npon the sur? face, which ls called "grooves" by the physicists. These grooves have parallel sides nearly a mlle in width, and from ten to one hundred and twenty five milos in length. There are already ninety of ; them, and it is supposed that more are m process of formation. Reasoning from analogy, we must believe that, at some period in the distant past, the moon had an atmosph?re and water, and also tha? on account of her inferior size, she had cooled much more quickly than the earth. Thc water penetrating the ernst has been absorbed as the decrease of Internal heat increased the thick? ness of thc crust, until long boiore the cooling process had reached the centre, tho water had dis? appeared. The rocks then solidifying, as the heat supply diminished, contracted in a manner re? sembling the appearance of basalt; and produced thc grooves into which, the atmosphere settled. Hence comes the chaotic appearance or the moon, with Its immense mountains, volcanoes and cra? ters. Some astronomers have detected an ap? pearance of action in some of thc volcanoes; but the general opinion is that every vestige or physi? cal life has long since departed from the surface of our satellite. These theories are all very well when applied to our distant neighbor, the moon; but we cannot shut our eyes to the startling fact that the earth ls undergoing a similar process of transformation. Geologists place a close resemblance between the circles th the moon and tho circles of granite and porphyry upon the earth. They have also discov? ered evidences of a fine stratiiication among thc lunar mountains; while volcanic formations bear a discernible analogy to those of Teneriffe and Poma. According to the new theory, the follow? ing is the process slowly taking place an the earth's surface; for she, like her subordinate, ls gradually cooling, it is estimated that one-flftkth of tue 01 lglnol ocean has been already absorbed, and, that when the crust of the earth has become one hundred miles in thickness, every drop of w J ter wiu disappear, lt ts also estimated that the earth would easily absorb laity oceans like those whieri now cover a large portion of the surface. All the water at present on the earth constitutes one twenty-four-thousandth part of its weight, and once absorbed would become insensible to chemical analysis. The water being absorbed, the earth will crack open like the moon, and form similar grooves into which the atmosphere will settle Long before tbls era all Ufe will have ceased. Whether there ls any truth in the theory or not, wc have no immediate cause of alarm; for tho process will not advance enough to give the sllghcst record in the short span ef a single life? time. According to the experiments of Bischof, lt win take niue mllUons of years for the earth to cool down fifteen degrees. This loss ls almost Im? perceptible, as the internal heat adds only a thir? tieth of a degree to the temperature of the surface. If this process is true of tho earth and the moon, the same cause must produce the same effects lu the other planets and satellites or thu system. Even the great sun himself most be sub? jected to the laws which rule his subordinates. Therefore, the time must come In the distant ages of the hcrearter, when sun, planets and moon, losing every vcstlgo of heat, will have ab? sorbed every drop of water In-their thickened crusts, and will have imprisoned every particle of atmosphere In. their huge fissures. The solar system, now so grandly beautiful, will then bc but an assemblage of dead worlds, without a ray of light, without a wave of heat, without a drop of water, without a breath of air. floating around in the immensity of space, bound together by the law of gravitation in the embrace of death. THE LATEST THING IN WAR. ? ruc tion Engines Drawing Army Trains. A Nancy correspondent of the London Tele? graph says: I now pass to a subject which, from thc com? plete success of the trials, will form for thc futnre a most Important part In modern war. I alindo to the employment of steam for the purpose of J conveying forage, stores, ammunition, or heavy guns from one place to another in an enemy's country, where the railroads are olther broken np Dr In the li an tis of tho foo. We have for many years been employing traction engines for agricultu? ral purposes, particularly for steam ploughing. Messrs. Fowler A Suns, of Leeds, aro very largo manufacturers; and employing, as they do, a Prussian engineer, is lt remarkable that at tho time when the war broke out two engines wera found to be lying In Hie dock at Ceestemunde, consigned to a certain Saxon farmer wno had. been called to take his place muong thc ranks of his countrymen t I take Hie opportunity ol' men? tioning this, because Prussia has lu no way vio? lated any law of. neutrality by the appropria? tion nf these engines; and when lt was proposed to General Vou Moltkc to employ English work? men to drive them, he at once and distinctly re? fused to commit what he considered a breach of J the neutrality which England hus imposed upon herself. The engines wera placed under thc di? rection of Mr. Toppfer, and sent to Pont-a MouRHon after successfully achieving a pre? liminary trial at Magdeburg. At Pont-a Mousson they were unloaded, and as soon as they were ready they started with a train of twelve wagons, tied together by chains, heavily loaded with bread and oats, for Gora mercy. The journey was accomplished in eighteen hours without any mishap, and the engines were driven over a road where tho gradients In some places were one In eight. The distance was about thirty miles, and no one knew where either water or cool could bo procured on the road. A wagon filled with water-casks obviated one difficulty, whilst wood and rofose did duty for the other. The engines aro now employed In taking locomo? tives in pieces, to be put together in Com mercy, so as at once to set up railway communication bteween that town, Sedan, Rheims, Bar-le-Duo, Verdun and Chalons. Under these circumstances it will be seen that, as far as the fortresses of Metz and Toni are' concerned, their efforts to neutralize or prevent railway communication have been rendered entirely abortivo by tho employment of two steam ploughing or trac? tion engines. Military and raliway men cannot bot bc struck with the importance of this new and simple feature, and I have taken care to make myself thoroughly acquainted with the working details of a matter which should at once engage the serious attention of our gov? ernment. The engines aro constructed ns fol? lows : Tliey arc bf twenty-horse power, and are built upon the locomotive principle; there are two cylinders of nine Inches diameter Inside, placed upon a mu? t itu bular double riveted boiler, capable of working at one hundred and fifty pounds pres? sure on the square inch. A steel crank shaft of fourteen inch stroke, having a slit pinion keyed upon it, by means of three Intermediate shafts1 and gearing, all In steel, communicates the power to the driving hind wheels of the engine; the power ls reduced from one hundred and fifty revolutions per minute of the crank shaft to seven revolutions per minute of the driving wheels; the latter are six feet six Inches in diameter, and twenty-four inches wide m the tire-thus pre? senting a considerable frictional surrace to the road; the front end of the boiler rests upon an axle, and two wheels of three feet six Inches in diameter and twenty inches in breadth: a cup Joint at the place whore the -boiler takes its bearing allows the fore car? riage to adapt Itself to any-irregularity on thc road, and to iactlltate the steering gear. This lat? ter ls of the simplest description. Two long rods extend from the fore axle to the extreme back of the engine underneath thu boiler, ending ia a pitoh chain which passes round a small corre- ' Bpondlng wheel. This ls fastened to a spur wheel two and a han* feet m diameter, and, by means or a hand wheel attached toan upright shaft and small pinion, thesteersman,whostands on asmali platform attached to the, oatsldo of the tendft- of the engine, obtains sufficient power to move the leading wheels into any angle sufficient to guide ! the engine round a comer. The most important and the most useful addition to these-engin es Hes, however, in the winding, apparatus, under tho centre of the boiler, exactly in the middle, and revolving upon a strong stand, ls placed In a drum, oapable of holding five hundred yards of seven-eighth inch steel wire rope. By means of an upright shaft and bevel gearing direct from the orauk shaft, this winding drum can be put in motion, and ls ready to han), at a distance of 450 yards, a load equal to three and a half tons strain npon the rope. This winding gear is really a most essential adjunot to a trac? tion engine ; for by means of lt heavy guns can be dragged up steep acclivities. The engine weighs about seventeen tons when empty, and the driver, standing in'front of the fire box, has every handle within reach of his arm. The cost of each such machine is, I believe, ?1000. From what I have aeon of the engines and their trial, I am more than convinoed of their Immense im? portance in times of war, and also of their practi? cal and enduring usefulness. I would, however, suggest that tho tender be made larger, in Order to carry more fuel and water than aro required for the purpose of ploughing a field. -The new Frenca Government, it ls stated, while vigilantly .working for its defence against the invasion, bas reduced the salaries on the civil li3t alone to the extent of $10,000,000, Hereafter, no public functlonaiy can receive over $10,000per j annum, general councillors are to receive $3000, and the prefects from $2000 to $3000. The sala-, rles to be allowed to sub-prefects vary from $1200 to $800. The pay of heads of bureaus and chief j clerks ls reduced to $3000. The minor employees | are, however, to receive an increase of pay. EXCAVATIONS UNDER PARIS. The Catacombs a? they were Eighty six Tears Ago. , The ground under Paris ls mined to a vost extent with ancient quarries, from which the stone was taken which waa used to build the houses on the surface. Wo suppose that the Prus? sians have no means of finding access to theso hy subterranean passages leading to them from with? out the walls, or they might blew up the town in? stead of bombarding it. or late these quarries have been made catacombs. Before they were such thoy wero sometimes visited by curious travellers. In a volume printed at London in 1791, entitled "Twenty Essays," we lind thc fol? lowing letter describing them : A SHORT ACCOUNT OP AK KXC0RSI0N TTTROUOH THE 8?BTERBANK0U8 CAVERN AT TARIS, BY Ult. THOS. WHITE, MBU BER OP THE BOYAL MEDICAL SOCIETY OP BDINB?ROH, AO., AO., IN A LETTER TO HIS PATH ER. [Prom Memoirs of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester.] PARIS, JulV 29, irst. I yesterday visited a most extraordinary sub? terraneous cavern, commonly called the Quar? ries. But before I give you tho history of my ex? pedition it will, perhaps, bo necessary to Bay a few words concerning the observatoire royal, the place of descent In this very remarkable cavern. Tills edifice ls situated m the Faubourg St. Jacques', m the highest part of thc city. It takes its name from its use, and was built by Louis XIV, In 1607, after the design of Claude Perrault, member of tho Academy or Sciences, ned first architect to bis Majesty. It serves for the resi? dence of mathematicians appointed by the King to make observations and Improve astronomy. The mode of building lt ls Ingenious and admira? bly contrived, lt being so well arched that neither wood nor Iron are employed in Its construction. All the stonea have been well chosen, and placed with a uniformity and equality which contribute much to the beauty and solidity of the whole edi? fice, lt ls reckoned to bc about eighty or ninety feet In height, and at the top there Ls a beautiful platform, pavad with flint stones, which com? mands an excellent view of Parla and its envi? rons. In the different iloor? of thia building thero are a number of trapdoors placed perpendicularly over each other, and when these are opened the the stars may be very clearly distinguished from the bottom of the cave at noonday. At this placo I was introduced to one of the in? spectors (persons appointed by the Ring to super? intend the workmen) by my friend Mr. Smeath man, who had used great application and interest for permission to Inspect the quarry, and had been fortunato enough to obtain lt. For as this cavern extended under a great part of the City of Paris, and leaves lt in some places almost entirely with? out support.) the inspectors aro very particular as to showing lt, and endeavor to keep it as nocret as possible, lest, If lt should get generally known, It might prove a source of uneasiness and alarm to the Inhabitants above. For what ts very remarkable, notwithstanding the extent of this q tarry, and the apparent danger, mauy parts of the city are in from it, few, even or those who have constantly resided at Paris, arc at all ac? quainted with lt, and on my mentioning thc ex? pedition I was going to undcrtako to soveral of my Parisians friends, they' ridiculed me upon lt, , Eind told mo lt was Impossible there could be any mch place. About 9 o'clock In the morning wo assembled to the number of forty, and with each a wax candle la his hand, precisely at 10 o'clock descended by steps to the depth of throe honored a>.d sixty feet perpendicular. We had likewise a number of guides wita torches, which we found very useful; bat oven with these assistants we were several times under the necessity of halting to examino thc plans the Inspectors keep ef these quarries, that we might direct our course in thc right road. . I was disappointed In not being able to obtain ' one of these plans, which would have given the clearest idea of this most extraordinary place. . At tho entrance the path ls narrow for a consul- - ?rable way; bat soon we entered large and spa? cious streots, all marked With names, the same as - In the city: dur?rent advertisements and .bills wero found, os we proceeded, pasted on the walis, so that lt had every appearance or a large town, swallowed up In tho can h. The general height of tho roof ls about nine or J ten feet; but in some parts not lesa than thirty, and even forty. In many places there 1B a liquor coitlnually dropping from it, which oongeals Im? mediately and forms a species of transparent < stone, bat not io fina and clear aa rock orystal. i as we continued our peregrination we thought jurselvcs m no small danger from the roof, 1 ivhich we found bot Indifferently propped In some : places with wood much decayed. Under the aonses, aud many of thc- streets, .however, it seemed to be tolerably seemed by harnen?; stones wt In moitar; in other parts, where there arc only [?olds or gardens above, lt was totally uusnppori ed for a considerable space, the roof being per- 1 redly level, or a plain piece of rock. After traversing about two miles wo again de? scended about twenty step?, and herc lound some workmen, In a very cold and damp pince, prop? ping up a most dangerous part, which they were murtal would give way every moment. Wo were elad to give them money for some drink amt make our visit at this place as short as possible. < 1'he path hero ls not moro than three feet lu width, aud the roof BO low that we were obliged to Rtoop considerably. By this time several of the party began to ro- 1 peut of their Journoy, and were much afraid nf the damp aud cold air wc frequently experienced. But. alas : there was no retreating. On walking some little distance further wc en? tered into a kind of saloon, cut out of the rook, and said to tie exactly under the Egllso de St. Jacques. This was Illuminated with great taste, ' occasioned au agreeable surprise, ?ud made us all ample amends for the danger and difficulty wc had just before gone through. At, one end was a representation lu miniature of some of the prin? cipal forts in the Indies, with tho fortifications, , drawbridges, Ac. Cannons were planted, with a couple of soliders to each, ready to fire. Suntu i nels were placed in different parts of the gam- ( son, particularly before tho governor's house; < and a regiment of nrmed mon was drawn up in 1 another place with their general In the front. Tho whole was made up of a kind of clay which the place alfords, was Ingeniously contrived, and tho light that was thrown upon lt gavo it a very pretty effect. On thc other side of this hall was a long table 1 Bet out with cold tongue, bread and butter, and t Borne of tho beat Burgundy 1 ever drank. Kow everything was hilarity and mirth; our fears wore entirely dispelled, and the danger we dread? ed the moment before was now no longer thought i of. In short, wo were all m good spirits again, and proceeded on our Journey about two miles further, when our guides Judged it prudent for us to ascend, as we had then got to the steps whloh lead up to tho town. We here fdund ourselves ] safe at the Val dc Grace, near to the English Ben? edictine convent, without the least accident hnv ng happened to any one of the party. We Im? agined we had walked about two French leagues, and were absent from the surface of the earth ? betweea four and live hours. After we had thanked tho Inspectors and gnldes for their very great civility, politeness and atten- , tlon, we took our leave to visit thc English Bene- 1 dictlno convent, m whOBe courtyard, and within 1 a few yards of their house, the roof of tho sunter- \ raucous passage had give way and fallon In the dopth of one hundred and ninety-three feet. 'i hough there was some little dangor attend lug 1 our rash expedition, (as some people were pleased to term lt.) yet lt was moat exceedingly agreea? ble, and BO perfectly a nowwlleBCcno that we were- ' all highly delighted, and thought ourselves amply < repaid for our trouble. I regretted much that I did not take a thermom? eter and baromoior down with mo, that I might have had an opportunity of making Borne remarks on the temperature and weight of the air. Cer? tainly, howovor, lt was colder at this time than on , the surface of the earth. But Mr. Smeathman In formed me that when he descended thc last win- ' ter, in the long and hard frost, he found the air i much moro temper?is than aboveground, but far ( moro warm. Neither, however had he a ther- 1 momoter with him. I lamented, too, that I had not time to take moro remarks on the petrifac? tions, Ac. Mr. Smeathman observed that when he descend? ed he found a very sensible difficulty of breathing in some of the passages and caverns, where the superincumbent rock waa low and the company crowded. This nodonbtwas much increased by i tho number of persons and of wax lights, but he does not apprehend that the difficulty would 1 have been BO great in rooraa of equal dimensions i above ground. We remarked, too, when we de? scended, that thora was m some, dei ree un op? pression of respiration throughout the whole pas? sage. There wero formerly several openings into the quarries, but the two I had mentioned, viz: the Observatory and the Val do Grace, are, I believe, the only ones left; and these tho Inspectors keep constautly locked, and rarely open them, except to strangers particularly Introduced, and to work? men who are always employed In the same part by the Ring. The police thought lt a.neccssary precaution to secure all the entra??os Into this cavern, from Its having been formerly in habited by a famous gang of robbers, who Infested tue country for many mlies around the City or Parla As to tho origin of this quarry, I could not, on the strictest Inquiry, learn anything satisfactory ; and the only account I know published ls con? tained in the Tableaux Oe Parts, nouvelle edition, tom premier, cJiapltre bine, page lime : "For the first building of Paris, lt WBB necessary to get the stone In the environs, and the consump? tion or lt was very considerable. As Paris was enlarged, the suburbs were insensibly built on the ancient quarries, so that all that you see whhout ls essentially wanting m the earth, for the foun? dation of the city; hence proceed the frightful cavities which are at this time lound under the houses m several quarters. They stand upon abysses. It would not require a very violcut shock to throw back thc stones to the place from whence they have been raised with BO much dim cutty.. Eight mci: being swallowed np in a gulf] one hundred and ll tty feet deep, and some other ] leas known" accldtjjta, excited at length the vigi? lance of the police and the government; and, in fact, the buildings of several on arters have been privately propped ap, and by this means a sup? port given to these obscure subterraneous places, which they before vanted. "All the suburb! of St James's, Harp street, and even.the street of Tournon, stand 'upon thc ancient qa arries, asd pillars have beon erected-to support the weight of the houses. ' What a subject for reflection, in coasldcrlng this greatcity formed and supported .by means absolutely contrary ! These towers, these steeples, the a relied roofs pl' | these temples are go many signs to tell the- eye. that what we now see in the air is wanting under our feet." " | JJ O TE L NOTIO E.
