A correspondent of the New York Sun wh is doing the Paris Exposition says of the great show I have seen most of the great exhibitions. of recent years in different parts of the world, but I have no -hesitancy in saying that I have never yet seen an exhibition which even approached in magnificence and in elaboration of detail the present exhibition in Paris. The public will not walk from one building to another in mud and on newly-built roads, for the grounds have.

been laid out in a fashion that will last for centuries. The steps and the terraces are of xnarMe and granite. All walls are of stone, the fouii tains are magnificently constructed, and all the details of the great work have been carried out on a scale" which suggests future ages as well as the year 18S9. The exposition grounds form a world which is destined to last. Perhaps after the Eiffel Tower, tone of the meet unique features of the exposition is the "History of Human Habitations," which has been organized by Charles Gamier, the eminent architect of ike famous Grand Opera House in Paris.

This is an exceedingly curious exhibition, and, as I must ever have the germ of novelty. It runs parallel with the Champ de Mars, and the fac-simile of habitations of mankind which it exhibits date from the remotest periods, when men lived in holes and caves, to the elegant marbles of the Renaissance. In order to arrange his history more clearly Garnier has divided it into two parts the prehistoric and the historic. In the first division are included the subterranean dwellers arid the savages who lived in caves, while the second division includes every form of architecture known to -history. In this valuable collection Garnier traces the progress of men from the dim periods of the stone and metal ages -to the frail shelter of the South Sea Islanders, the snow huts of the Esquimaux, the straw hut krall of the African, the gloomy villa of the Arab, the gaudy palaces of Peru and Mexico, the Oriental, Grecian and Roman forms of architecture, the Tudor mansions and so on up to the modern nouses.

All of these specimens of habitations have been- built with the greatest care; are absolutely faithful to the original models, and represent, so far as human knowledge can tell it, the entire development and evolution of the human race, as far as its habitations are concerned. It is of course impossible to go into tne details of such a superb scheme as this in the space of a short newspaper article. The energy of the American Commission-has had the effect of pushing the United States Section almost to completion. It is far in advance of most of the other departments. It is not unlikely that this portion of the show, by the way, will receive less attention from Americans than any other section, for most of us are familiar with the character of the exhibits.

A big show, which will afford food for reflection to a very large number of American citizens who are at present in Europe, and who do not return to their native land for reasons not unknown to Inspector Byrnes, is a section representing the prison systems of the past and present, for every conceivable variety of prison cells, from the day of the airlass dungeon to the sanitary prisons of to-day, are on view. Incidentally there is a collection of thumbscrews, racks, and implements of torture which would make the fantasies of a drunkard's nightmare appear pale ond insignificant by comparison. There are several huge theatres in the grounds, and one of them will be given over to curious national dances, which are to be performed by the natives themselves. It is worth noting here that they will not be reproductions of French dances, but huge troupes are to be brought from Sumatra and other lands too difficult to remember for enumeration here. There are to be ten or twelve troupes of these people.

They will be accompanied by their own musicians, and the stages will be set tojrepre-sent the land where the dancers came from. Some of the most pretentious bunding in the Exposition' are the pavilions of Vene-euela, Mexico, and Ecuador. It is the customary thing to see the smaller States of South America making a more pretentious exhibit at expositions of this character than the United States itself. Perhaps it will give some idea of the size of the Exposition when I explain that an army of nearly 11,000 laborers have been at work on it for months, and that this force was considerably augmented toward the closing days. One building is a huge palace constructed entirely of wood, built in the Italian style.

Woods of every known variety are employed in the construction. Columns are formed from absolute trees, which have been brought intact at enormous expense, from various quarters of the world, packed so that the bark is not disfigured by so much as a scratch. The exterior is entirely of unhewn wcod, but so skilfully matched that it has all the effect of sculpture. It shows that a man in modern times, drawing his inspiration from the forests alone, can construct a building without the use of any other tools than saws and hammers, which rivals in beauty the' marble palaces of mgdern France. The architects ox Paris claim that this style of building will become the rage after the exhibition, and that, country houses and shooting boxes constructed from unhewn wood will beparticilarly fashionable in England.

ON FIEE IN MID-OCEAN.

Thrilling Scenes and. Heroic Conduct Aboard a Blazing VesseL The Hamburg-American Line steamer Rugia, from New York for Hamburg, which arrived a few days ago at Plymouth, reports that the cotton in her af terhold was spontaneously ignited four nights, previous to her landing, in mid-ocean. The fire burned fiercely, but was quenched after five anxious hours, during which everything had been got in readiness to abandon the steamer. One hundred and thirty burning cotton bales were jettisoned. Great fright prevailed among the passengers, who remained on deck for forty-eight hour.

Through the efforts to quench the fare the eabins ware flooded and two-thirds of the passengers luggage was spoiled. Much praise was given the Captain and crew for their exertions. Two of the crew were injured. It was feared that the steamer's cargo was greatly damaged. After the fire had gained considerable headway some of those on board made preparations to desert the ship, but were prevented from doing so by the Captain, who threatened them with a revolver.

When the iron bulkhead doors were opened the heat became so intense that many passengers were scorched, and the cotton bales around the passengers' luggage took fire. Casks of lard, which formed part of the vessel's cargo, also furnished fuel for, the flames. Hope had been well abandoned and boats had been lowered to leave the threatened steamer when it occurred to the Captain to try steam instead of water against the fire. This plan was put into execution and proved successful. The passengers have presented the Captain with an address, and the crew with various gifts, as evidences of gratitude and esteem for their heroic work in the midst of the dangers that encompassed them all.

BALD KN0BBEES HANGED. Bungling Work: at the Scaffold A Sketch of the Crime. The three Bald Knobber murderers, David Walker, bis son William Walker, and John Matthews, have been hanged at Ozark, Mo. Matthews asserted his innocence to the last. There was a painful scene at the hanging.

The stretch of the rope let ail three of the men fall to the ground The rope broke, and William Walker dropped to the ground, -where he lay for three minutes, talking. Matthews and David Walker speedily wore drawn up, and died in a few moments. The trap was again adjusted, and William Walker was hanged a second time, dying without a struggle. The crime for which the three men were executed was th9 murder of Charles Green and William Edens, on March 11, 1S87. The Bald Knobbers were an organization of masked regulators, which started at Taney County, and spread to Christian County.

Many of the promi-aent regulators were church members. The Drder in Chris tain County numbered between 300 and 400 members, David Walker being the leader. The band made many visits of correction to petty offenders, and finally, In 18S7, whipped John Edens for misconduct in church.
