T<ft*t> week J visited the old Cluny Palace, now tbe Hotel de Cluny. one of the most Inter esting museums in Paris. It was be gun In 1480 and fitiished In 180ft, by Jacques de Ambrose, Abbott of Cluny. In 1515 it was used as a residence by Mar}', of England, sister of Henry VIII., and third wife of Lools XII. She wa» called the "White Queen," from having us.ed white as mourning when her hus band died--weariug It herself, and having her rooms . draped in white. They are still called the white cham bers. The marriage of James V., of Scotland, with Marguerite, daughter of Francis I., of France, was celebrated there iu 1538, and In 1789 the building became national property. In 1832 it was sold to a Mr. Sommard, who placed In it many rare relics. At his death tlit building and collection were bought by the city 3f Paris. It is a stone building, Gothic in style, the outside covered with moss and ivy aud the interior finished in waln.)t, most beautifully carved, and said to be the Anest in the world. The walls are hung with rare old Gobelin tapestry. The building is in the center of a grand old garden, tlie trees and statues cov ered with moss aud ivy. The grounds are nicely kept, but are preserved in as ancient style as It Is possible to imag ine ajttace of the preseut age, and Is most wonderful in beauty. The col lection of relics is immense. Sculp ture, paintings, chiua, rare old furni- tute, pianos, clocks and 'violins. The old carriasre used by the kiugs and queens was there, most georgeous in Hiiish,*the box covered with paiutingis^ auu the wheels and other parts gilded. The *eats w»re upholstered with silk aud velvet. The harness was of white leather,embroidered withsilkand put together with gold buckles. There was a sleigh once owned by the king. It was in the form of a bird.beautifully gilded and lined with blue satin. We spent a day there, and did not see half the things we wanted to. so shall go agaiu soon. • Then we weut to the Bois de Bo- logne. a lovely wood or'park outside the City walls. Tliere is a lake with cascades, waterfalls, grottoes and a large cave-VMr temple, the Iroof of whicli is of stalactites and the floor of gravel, smooth and clean, wijli be.nches to sit upon. We ate our luncheon 'there and enjoyed it very much. The cherry trees were in blossom( the-grass green and full of wild daisies, the holly In blooin and leaves so bright. ' These are-the .hunting grounds and the place for steeple chases, anci near here te the Jardiu de Acclimation; wherenre kept elephants, camels, horses - giraffes "dogs and animals oT-every kind; «l90 - bit ds, from a wee little strawberry bird one could put in a thimble to an"ostrich as large as a hotee^ -fti'the afternoon the place was filled with people aftd. they, put saddles on the elephants aud cam els'and harnessed an ostrich to a char- lot and let tlie Children ride. '.Tlie en trance to this most lovely place has camelia trees In full , bloom. One, In the center was as large as an apple tree aud was loaded with' blossoms. There are-lttile brooks with'rustic •bridges, the water bright with gold flsh,.<uid ducks, swans, geese and. every sort of waterfowl. Then we saw a raven that barked like a dog, and some white peacocks aud crows and verx ininy other things. The lake near by is over-hung by a Suspension bridge; this, with a stone bridge, leads to an island which is a rock IG4 feet high*. The peak is crowned with the Temple de la Sybille. Clofee to the left of the peak, rishig^brnptly from tlio water, are two hills which are asccnded by ..winding paths bordered by flowers making one of tlie most romantic sights in the metropolis. From there you see the railway around Paris, the river Seine.the town of St. Dennis. St. Cloud. Montmoreucy, St. Germain, and others. Also the railway toVlenna Brussels, and Lotidon.

Mr. and Mrs. C. Il. Mereliant were made happy on last Thursday by a llfth addition to their family. Its a girl. On Saturday, the 16th, about 6 o'clock F. Mj, tlie Greenwood bridge and a por tion of the underpinning of John Crookshank's blacksmith shop were carried away by tlie flood and ice. J. P. Dasso informs ns lie is going to start in a few days for Cincinnati. Ohiu, to have his cancer treated. Hfs friends and neighbors have given hiin something over one hundred dollars to assist in paying expenses. Dr. Hart informs us ho 'carried six swarms of bees, all he had, Into the cel lar last fall, and 'on examination the other day f<|und tlieni ail dead. We are glad to see your Woodstock correspondent again at his post. Now he lias spoken we understand and ap preciate his predicament. Ho says, re ferring to his article calling our atten tion to the meaning of Feto de Se. "our main drift was to say something to draw out others ici order to satisfy ourseif whether any one considered our articles worth reading. Then agaiu, we were not a little tronbled^'at the query how after suieidiug'fro (our hum ble self) could get communication with this mundane sphere." This whole botheration, we conceive, arises from not looking at our non de plume as a prophecy, which it is, and not as im- plyi.ug inn act already cousumated.--, When we consented to act' as a local news gatherer ami correspondent we were well aware that, from our inher ent and unconquerable love of fun, which Isconstantly prompting lis to disturb the equhiimity and self-com placency of those around us, we should sootier or later step on somebody's corns, anl receive, quite likely, a well merited buffet in return, and this might be repeated until wo'should Anally get tour quietus. We thought we recog nized a" similar disposition In our Woodstock jpel^hbbr, a,u^" forthwith proceeded to put on our games. We. ate not even yet fully satisfied as to his ulterior intentionis. As we were say ing, this wayward propensity of ours, the Inutility It arouse?, the whacking we were sure to get, the worry and chafing that comes of all this, it Is fair to presume,'would inevitably cut tail the period of our earthly sojourn. It Is true, this untoward event, our gra cious editor, by a judicious and persis tent use of tlie scissors, clipping off something here and something there, of the most obnoxious portions of our communications, might posslbl}* avert. But such foresight aud care we had no right to expect, and iti fact did not covet. Knowing all this from the be ginning, having a reasonably accurate knowledge of one own proclivities and besetments,and anticipating the pos sible consequences referre-J to, we felt we could fairly claim the pseudonym ww have assumed. Have we made the reasonableness of this claim apparent? Tour Woodstock scribe need have no misgivings as to whether his ariiclcs are worth reading. For one, we make It our business and pleasure to read all tlie PLAIXDEALKR correspondence; if we give that from Woodstock unusiya attention it is because of certain at tractions it has for us, attractions Indi cating sympathetic and reciprocal views touching that which Interest re flecting minds everywhere in this day and age of grace, moreover, (if wo must confess It,) because of our pen chant for mischievous criticism. It was while in this mcodwe ventured to call attention to *(jealous envy,*' tio envious jealousy," that is it. But as we get no response relevant to this point, we suspect Woodstock has gone oft on a wrong scent. We didn't care a nickle about $l>at quarrel between Calomel and Jalap. Let them light it out If they will, or compromise If they must. The puzzle which interested us, was to flnd out what sort of a thing, or rather, condition, is envious jealousy, as denoting a possible state of the mind. It is among the possibilities that over there at the county seat they do not condesend to notice these verbal and psychological trivialities and vexations puzzles as we do in the country. We understand S. F. Bennett, In Richmond Department, to suy that J. P. Webster is the author of the song, Sweet By-and-By." This is a sur prise. We have been under the im presslon. aud have heard It - stated, that S. F. B. wa« the author. "The Origin of Things" In Educa tional Column, would be more satis factory had it been 'accompanied by comments indicating how the editor, in this department, views these spec imens of Greek Metaphysics. Which' of the'propositions do you endorse, or ooiidemn, and why? Tour Crystal Lake correspondent Informs us that Rev. Brown jUlisd the pulpit (how large was the pulpit?) at tli% Baptist Church on Sunday, and preached, a. logical sermon. Sory Qulntia didn't tell ue what point*«were made sod argoments used, snd then we could judge for ourteive* as to tlio logic. , ' It Is said that every man has some special mission in this world, for wltfeh he is peculiarly adapted and pretles- tlned to fulfill. The Greenwood cor respondent of the Sentinel seems to understand his. Ore would suppose from his frequent mention of the "Sab bath," (Sunday being ruled out of lite vocabulary altogether) of church do ings and religious affairs generally, that his chief business is to chronicle matters of this kind. Should he con tinue to apply himself in this way with sufficient assiduity, he will soon be come an expert.^" Those "familie town" must be In a bad ffx. If yout Richmond corres pondent can be relied upon. He says; "A number of families iu town are suffering from a wood famine. The snow has been tC|0 deep togettt out of the woods." Get * what out of the woods? It there Is any famine In the woods, why not let it stay where It is? We understand tlie road commis sioners have decided to build two new bridges In place of the one washed away in this village by the recent flood. We think If is a good idea, and then fill up between the two high enough so *» to keep the water off the road at all times of the year. FKtO DC SB, MCHKNRT MAKKKT.
