| The Beauties of Paris. j , KEEPING THE TREES AND SHRUBBERIES IN
ORDER—BOOK STALLS AND NEWSPAPER)
STANDS.
It costs $375,000 annually to keep the
trees, shrubberies and seats upon the boule- _vards and in the public squares and gardens
of Paris in order. It is estimated that the trees in the avenues and boulevards of Paris number 82,000 ; those in the cemeteries,
10,400, and those in the squares and court-
yards of various buildings, 8,390. There are also 8,000 seats for the accommodation of the public. The expense of keeping up all the extra-mural recreation grounds, ex- clusive of the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes, is rather more than $60,000. The Bois de Boulogne covers 2,152 acres, and in summer 20,000 cubic feet of water per diem are used to lay .the dust, while more than 23,000 cubic feet are required to feed the ponds and cascades. The Bois de Vincennes covers 2,302 acres, and consumes nearly 50,000 cubic feet of water per diem.
A sum of $45,000 is paid annuaYy by the proprietors of restaurants and cafes for the right of placing chairs and tables upon the pavement in front of their establishments, and about half as much is paid by ithe own- ers of shops for exhibiting their goods ovt- side their windows. The book stalls which are plaeed upon the parapet of the Seine, and the boot-blacks and commissionaires contribute to this sum, All the un. ccupied corners of streets and public buildings, where rubbish always finds its way in other large cities, are utilized, and the munici- pality obtains $0,000 for permission to erect stalls there for the sale of knicknacks.
“A much larger revenue is derived from the kiosks in which the newspapers are sold, and this privilege has been leased to a com- pany for a term of fifteen years, which will expire in 1834. ‘The company pays the municipality a sum of 50 franes for each kiosk, and has also to bear the cost of keep- ing them in repair and lighting them. There are 309 of these kiosks at the present time, Sut the number will shortly be in- creascd to 300. The muncipality has the right of appointing the persons who rent the kiosks from the company, and fixing the rent, which varies from 5 franes to 30 francs a month, according to the situation of the kiosk. ‘fhe company obtains a large sum from the advertisements cut into the glass of the kiosk windows, in addition to the rent paid by the news-vendors. In ordi- nary years the public vehicles plying fer hire in the streets bring in a revenue nearly $740,000, and there are 150 cab- stands, to each of which is attached an in- spector, appointed by the Prefecture of Police.

Curious Case of Mistaken Identity.
Cincinnati, Noy. 27.—A curious case of mistaken identity on one part and heartless deception on the other hand has just been brought to light in Covington, Ky. Seme eight or ten years ago a man named Igna- tius Goetz lived with his family in Lewis- bury, a village near Covington. Not pros- pering in his affairs he entered the regular army and went to Texas. After remaining there two years he received injuries of some nature and was discharged, and in- stead of returning home went to Chicago, turning up just before the great fire there.
Here he fell in with a stranger named Allen, strongly resembling him in personal appearance, and the two set out during the fire to plunder and rob, in which scheme they were caught and narrowly escaped lynching. On being tried both men were convicted and Goetz was sentenced to serve six years in the Penitentiary, his partner being’sent only for four years. Upon reach- ing the Penitentiary they were both placed in adjoining cells aud became very intimate friends.
Allen, after serving out his sentence, came to Covington, aud, finding Mrs. Goetz, claimed to be her husband. At first she would not believe him, but he finally suc- ceeded in convincing her and took up his abode with her. Everything passed quietly until about a month ago, when Goetz him- self returned, having served out his time. When the first meeting had taken place Goetz was informed of the deception that had been practised on his wife and at once sought out legal redress.
But Allen had learned of his coming, and Goetz followed, with his family, and undertook
further proceedings, but soon learned that

‘The Wretched Streets of New York.
No street in New York is ever really swept, and the garbage from the kitchens is never really removed. The sweeping- machine traverses the principal avenues at night, gathering up a part of the outside layer of dirt, where the way is clear. A gang of lazy and decrepit scavengers follow the machine aiver a while, to do some fool- ishness with brooms. They collect into heaps a part of what has been thrown up in ridges ; and finally, after the heaps have been partly scatiered by the winds and pass- ing vehicles, the dirt-cart gathers part of what remains. When the butcher, and grocer, and baker, and drayman receive the carts which they have left in the streets over nighi, vast accumulations of unmolest- ed dirt and ru‘ bislr are disclosed beneath them, where the machine could not sweep and the Droom-}rigale would not. None of the a, paratus does its werk thoroughly. The machine, the broom and the shovel are managed with equal carlessness, and the men, being under no effective supervision, give for their pay only the fa*ntest presence of labor.

Miscellaneous News.
For three years a man has lived alone in a tenement house in Troy, N. Y., working at his trade as a wheelwright, doing his own cooking and having few friends. A sen- tence that was often on his lips was, ‘When aman can do nothing else he can die.’ Some days ago his body was found in his room, where he had built a fire in the char- coal furnace, closed the windows and gone to bed to die. On a play-bil'! he had writ- ten some rambling sentences : “Thus endeth the fivst lesson. 1 leave my daughter and my geandchild. So mote it be. Now will we vest the grand mystery of science. If a man die shai he live again! Where is my son! Where is my wife! Where they are, I shall be. I am glad my course is endd. How tired I am.’
Four Hunprp anp Forry-rour Trays a Day.—London is at length promised the completion of the underground railway. All that has been wanting to this since the opening of the Metropolitan line to Alder- gate has been the making of a line hardly over a mile in length from that station to join the District Company’s railway at the Mansion House. This is to be set about at once ; the prospectus has been issued. The Metropolitau Board of Works and the City
of | Commiseioners of Sewers give a subvention
in the aggregate of half a million. The District Company are bound to run at least 444 trains a day over the line as soon as it is completed, and these will traverse the whole of the inner circle without change of engine or break of any kind. The line will cost two millions sterling.
Cavucuon’s Fiicut.—An Emerson special to a Chicago paper says Cauchon’s flight from Tetu, the i ion Agent, when the latter rode toward him for the purpose of welcoming him to Manitoba, ‘‘ will never be forgotten by those who were there. The new Governor was in a carriage, and when he looked back and saw Tetu waving his hands frantically, urging his horse to the utmost and madly shouting, he put his head, covere.l by a velvet skull cap, out of the window and yelled to the driver to drive like—well, something like Jehu, the son of Nimahi.” Surely his Honor took the gen- tlemanly Emigration Agent for an escaped Beauportite.
A well sinker at Conches, near Rouen, in France, 18 years of age, has been extri- cated from a wel) after twenty days’ im- prisonment, caused by the giving way of amass of earth. Food was supplied him during that time, and his spirits remained so good that he frequently played cards with one of the men ame in liberating him, a task effected by sinking another well at a short distance and making a com- munication between.
During the labor troubles in Pennsylva- nia last summer a Vigilance Committee was organized at Reading for the protection of life and property against lawless aggression. On the Ist of August a procession of works ing men was passing through the streets, and under a mistaken idea that the city was about to be sacked, the Vigilantes into the crowd, and three 1men were shot dead. Forty men have been fully indicted for the murder, and their trial has begun.
A British member of Parliament, Mr. Jenkins, has devised an original way of spending a honeymoon. He has been in Seleetla viewing the horrors of war and ir- vestigating atrocities.
One of the social stars of Paris is rebuked by a friend, who says, sternlp, ‘Cora, if I were you I should be afraid of having bad

Tue Fioops my Virers1a.—The damage by the floods in Virginia is said to be un- precedented in the inundated district. Along the James River hundreds of have lost from $100 to $5,000 worth of property, and many from $10,000 to $15,-
000. Inthe neighborhood of Buchanan,
‘twenty colored persons were drowned, and 'much destitution prevails.
