A recent number of Harper’s Bazar con- tains the following sensible and seasonable lagglole on a topic specially interesting to the 108: There is scarcely any reader of the Bazar who will admit that she is not properly clothed and in her right mind, though she may be found in zero weather with no thick- er apparelling than she wore during the cool days of fall and summer; and at the same time she will perhaps boast that she has never given in to wearing . flannel under- clothing, and that cotton stockings answer her purpose year in and year out. She may, however, wear the finest of laces and the costliest silks, and yet, without her outfit of under-flannels for the winter, the early fall, and the changeable spring of our climate, we shall deny that she has proper clothing. We are aware that our women dress more warm- ly than their ancestors of fifty years ago. and there has been a marked improvement in.this respect, yet the reform has not per- fected itself. We are‘told that our grand mothers lived to a riper old age and enyoyed more robust health than the present genera- tion, though they did not strathe themselves with layers of wool, like a mummy, and were unaequainted with certain garments that we consider indispensable. But perhaps if our ‘ progenitors had adopted the custom of wear- - ing more and warmer clothing, their poster- ity would have inherited as tough constitu- tions and as firm health. In this day no one ‘ is excusable who allows herself to go insuffi- ciently clad while she has the means to pro- vide raiment, even though she should be obliged to curtail her luxuries-for the pur- pose, to forego certain fallals and impartial- ties. She is not only wronging herself and shortening her days by a scanty supply of clothing, but in weakening her own system by her folly she injures her child no less. There are certain foolish folks who object to additional under-wear because it increases the size; who prefer to pass the season in a semi-congealed state, alternating with the fever of influenza, hugging the stove, and making a buggaboo of fresh air; who ignore the fact that a genial temperature of the surface of the body preserves an equal cir- culation, that keeping the extremities warm prevents the blood rushing to the head and discolonng the face, disturbing the natural shading of the rose-leaf cheek and giving the nose a rubicund hueâ€"that, in brief, to be warmly clad insures a longer lease of health and beauty. Many of us who really be- lieve in the regimen of proper clothing hesi- tate to make a change till the cold weather has fairly set in, when it is the early frosts which give the greatest shock to the system, following so soon after the summer’s heat ; and how few of us pay attention to the alter- nations of the summer weather enough to regulate our toilettes to correspond i We fancy that it is scarcely worth while to vary our attire on account of a sea-turn, when to- morrow will make amends for today’s chill. We think we are growing tough, when we are in reality catching cold. There are few things in which people imagine they can economize so well as in their underclothing; every one must have her best suit, her Sun-l day bonnet, and her much-buttoned glovesi -â€"society demands it of her; but who will know whether her underwear is wool or cotton of the poorest or of the best? And she is often foolish enough to postpone proper clothing till a more convenient season rather than resign a button from her gloves or a flower from her bonnet. - SOME EEW FACTS ABOUT THE PRESENT CONDITION ND PROSPECTS OF THE GREAT ENTERPRISE. The Paris Exposltioh is raid out on a larg- er scale than any previous Exhibition. The area, coveredby the buildings is larger than that of the Vienna Exposition, and more ex- tensive than the Philadelphia Exhibition, which up to the present time is the largest international exhibition ever held. The Ex- h:bition grounds are on the Champ do More, at precisely the same location as the old Ex- hibition of 1867. If 3 straight line were drawn through the centre of the Arc de Trio- mp'he down the river, it would pass over the Exposition grounds. Street ears and omni- bus lines run direct to the grounds, but the distance from the thickly populated portion of Paris is not diflicult to walk. The new Exhibition grounds, being much more ex- t msive than the former ones, extend on both sides of the river Seine and are connected by the old Pont Jeanne, which is to be usl'fié exclusively for the purposes of the Exhibi- tion. In order that the street running par. allel with the river on the ‘Ohamp de M3773 side may be kept open for public use and not interfere with the Exhibition, the‘ roadie; way has been sunk to pass under the er; of the Pont de Iona. The Trocadero is o ; the opposite side of the Seine from the mein‘f buildings. The river bank rises steep. rocky and‘p‘recipitous iron; 5 Q gler‘eodae.

SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF THE TOMB 0F DAVLD. A letter has just been received from Ptoâ€" fessor Osb am, of Oxford, Ohio, wntten from Jerusalem, giving details of a. visit to the tomb of David. The writer, Doctor do Haas, United States Consul at that place, says that the visit was made during the recent Passaver. ' The building is about five hundred feet south of the Lion Gate, itself the most southern gate of Jerusalem. It has long been known as the tomb of David, and con- tains an upper chamber where, according to tradition, the Lord’s Supper was instituted. The building has messwe foundations ; and the “upper room” is constructed with henvy groined arches. The so-called tomb is made of marble and porphyry, covered with a pail of embroidered cloth, with the Arabic letters in geld, “011 David 1 verily thou art a. sovereign prince in all the earth.” Prolessot Osborn says that the tomb was visited by a. lady whom he met in Jerusalem some years ago, and with much the same results as to observations, except that Doctor do Haas has discovered a. door walled up, leading from the crypt contam- ing the tomb. This walled-up way is sup- .posed to lead to the actual tombs of the kings, and the so‘called tomb is only a cenotaph. Some time ago a plan, made by a Turk ish architect, of the tombs at Hebron Mosque was obtained and. published by Professor Osborn, in his geographic, notices of the city, the accuracy of which was testified to by Dean Stanley in his account of the visit of the Prince or Wales. In this latterplaoe'of the Hebron tombs is also a. closed subterranean paseage, and the inference is that, in both places, the true tomb, and probably the actual remains of the kings and patriarohs, at this tomb of David and at Henron, are yet unbroken, having never been visited in the cavernoue sepulchres. Here is work to be performed, in opening these tombs, which will create a. sensation in the archaeological world un- equaled by anything discovered at Troy or Mycenzo, Australia, the fifth great division of the globe, began to be discovered after America and the South Seas were known to the Euro- peans. Magellan, who first undertook a voyage round the world, had promised the Spanish monarch, into whose service he en tered when he left the Portuguese, that he would arrive at the Moluccas by sailing west- ward. On this voyage, he discovered, March 6th, 1521, the Ladrones, or MarianaIslands, a group which constitutes a part of Australia. Magellan must, therefore, be regarded as the first discoverer of this portion of the globe, and opened the way for the subsequent dis- coveries in this quarter. Three hundred years elapsed before all the islands, which now pass under the name of Australia were known to Eupopeans. After Magellan, the Spanish navigators continued the process of discovery in this part of the world, particu larly Alvaro de Mendana, who, in the last part of the sixteenth century, discovered the Solomon Islands and the Marquesas, and passed through the Society and Friendly Islands without seeing them. Fernandez de Quiros, who had accompanied him on his third voyage, took a southerly direction, and hit upon the part of the South Sea which contains the most islands. He made known to the world the Society Islands and Terra del Espiritu Santo. In the seventeenth century, the Dutch began to explore this part of the ocean. and besides several small islands, discovered the largest island of Aus- tralia, New Holland, which receives its name from them, although there is some reason for supposing that it had been visited by the Portuguese a hundred years earlier ; but their discoveries seem to have been conceal- ed by their Government, and afterwards for- gotten. Tasman, a Dutchman, and Dampier an Englishman, continued the discoveries. in the middle of the eighteenth century, the Englishmen, Byron, Wallis, Carteret, and the Frenchman Bougainville, exerted themselves to extend the knowledge of Aus tralia, Bnt James Cook, who circumnawgat- ed the world from 1767 to 1779-, « contributed most to the more. accurate examination of this portion of tlfe globe.

De Fourton, Minister of the :Interior, defended Government intervention in eleo. tions by precedent. If ever inteIVention was necessary, it was under the government of President MecMehon. It was necessary to have official candidates. He justified the Government’s electoral action by the activity of a Socialtst propaganda. M.

BERLIN, Nov. 14.â€"The National Zeitung says:~â€"-“A breach of the constituuon m France would transfer all power Item the peaceful elements of the population to the army, in which event the consequence to European peace need no description.” The above is supposed to represent the feeling of the German people and Government. BERLIN, Nov: 15.â€"â€"Politicians here bc- lieve that Marshal MacMahon is contemplat- ing a. doupfl’ctqt. PARIs, Nov. 15.â€"Duko de Broglie opened to-day’s debate on the motion for appoint- ment of a. committee to enquire into election abuses. Gambetta will reply and the debate will close to-day. VERSAILLES, Nov. 15.â€"â€"Aftcr the speech by M. Gambetta. the Deputles adopted a. motion for the appointment of a committee to en- quire into the electoral abuses by a vote of 320 to 203. Four vacant “life senatorsnips will be filled bo-jlay. Ghaband Latour, Lucien Brun, Grand Perret, and Greflulhe, members of the Right, were to-day elected life Senators. In the Chamber to-day, Duke de Broglie plainly intimated that President MacMahon would not take 8. Min- lSt-l‘y from the Left, nor would the Govern- ment submit to the proposed electoral inqui- ry. When the present Government had ful- filled its task of answering the attacks of the Left, the Marshal would see what was incum- bent upon him. If he could be assured that a. Ministry containing M M. Blane angi Renâ€" ault woulgeggeggggu a pgggmmme the path‘ of Parliamentary procedure would be om If‘not it would be necessary to seek some other solution. He accused the Left of in timidation and fraud during the elections, and especially of spreading the assertion that a Conservative victory meant war. \He proi voked a protest from M. Uambetta by insin- uating that he caused the insertion of this ealunmy in foreign papers. He warned those who yesterday appeared to appeal to 1mm- rection it would be suppressed. The Right loudly applauded. M. Gambetta. characterized De Broglie’a speech as able. but perfidious. It showed stubbornness and resistance to the will of the country. The ineinuation that the Left gained a. majority by misrepresentation was a. lie. The Government were guilty of mal- vereation, had gained forty seats by fraud and. robbery. He professed. a. desire to up hold the authority of both Chambers. He was not an antagonist of President MaeMw hon. The present Ministers were insurgents against law. He declared if the Senate arro- gated. the right of decreeing a. second disso- lution, it would be it veritable reactionary convention. A vote on M. Grevy‘s motion was taken after much violent personality. The Cham- ber decided to appoint a. committee of en- quiry to-morrow. Numerous alarming reports are current. MANCHESTER, Nov. 16.â€"â€" A London cor- respondent quotes a private letter from a person in Paris who has exceptional means of information. 7 He Vsa‘ys :â€" “In my opinion civil war is now only a question of week, perhaps days. MacMahon is entirely in the hands of the Bonapartists and clericals. There know the Marshal’s resignation would destroy their last hope of governing France, but for fear of Germany and. Italy the Government would long ago have resorted to force." VERSAILLES, Nov. 16.â€"â€"-The electio 1 of Grand Ferret, Bonapartist Life Senator, [has been annulled in consequence of an error in the Court. The Bureaux of Deputies have elected a committee of enquiry into electoral abuses. All the members of the committee, number- ing 33, belong to the Left. Deputies Mitchell and Allain Targe fought a. duel to-day in consequence of the latteI having called the former a liar in debate. Mitchell was wounded in the arm. PARIS, Nov. 16.â€"Among the Committee of Enquiry are Albert Gravy, Renault, Casimer Pegier, LouiAs_ 81330, an_d§u1_es Ferry. At a. preliminary meeting of Senators this morning Bocher, leader of the Consti- tutional group, whose votes can turn the scale in the Senate, said the salvation of the country was at stake, and the Cabinet ought to advise the President to come to an under standing with the moderate members of the Left. Bocher declared eh and his twenty- seven colleagues would not agreeto another dissolution of Deputies. PARIS, Nov. 16.:â€"Pierre Lanfrey, life Sena.- tor of the Left is dead.

The Society will celebrate the anniversary of SLAndrew’s by a dinner in the Kerby House. The Sherbrooke News (Eastern Townships, Quebec,) says :-â€"“The result of the Dunkin Act in the County of Richmond, is, that large quantities of whiskey are purchased in Sherbrooke, by parties from localities in that county. In turn, certain parties bring a iarge number of jars to this city, and put» chasing five or more gallons, distribute the liquqr, for each family. It is pretty evident that while Sherbrooke may supply whiskey, not many in Richmond are likely to be de- ‘ prived of the beverage.” Says the Guelph Herald :â€"“Jn.mos Antler son, of Puslinch, some time since made an arrangement with a grain buyer to sell outs to the letter at forty- five cents a bushel. He delivered earlier in the season, some outs at this price, and bought in another load on Tuesday, 6th inst. The buyer said he could not pay the price, and that he had just re- ceived an invoice of thirteen car loads from the States, to~be delivered here at thirty cents a bushel. Mr. Anderson thinks he has dis- covered an eminently practical reason. for Protection." Says the Chatham Planet :â€"-The country goal is just now turned into a lunatic asy- lum, without any provision for the due care of the poor unfortunates. Their violence and frightful yells resound day and night ever the whole neighborhood, and the in- mates of the prison find it impossible to rest. One of the insane men, there are three of mom in confinement, attempted to hang himself on Wednesday evening, and was on- ‘y prevented from doing violence by most careful watching. Unless removed to a. pro- per asylum at once their malady will become more and more hopeless of cure." The Kingston Daily News says :â€"We are informed that a valuable iron mine has been discovered on a lot of Sheriff Ferguson’s near Sharbott Lake and within a short distance of the Pembroke Railway. Some specimens of the ore have been tested and yielded a large percentage of metal. We congratulate the worthy Sherifi upon the discovery which we hope will put plenty of money in his purse.” Dhe above seems to call for aword of remark. Had the "find" occurred across the lake in the State of New York, it would indeed have put money in the worthy Sherifl’s purse, were he the owner of it. But it happens in Canada, and it greatly alters the ease. Cane. ‘dians may well long for the day when the finding of such a natural treasures as an iron ;mine will do them any good. The Thorold Post 9th inst.. says :-â€"‘fAbout a. week ago, Mr. Ralph Garner, btsmford township, was shipping some horses at Niag are. for Toronto. One of the horses, a. fine grey, slipped off the side of the gangwuy, and fell into the river. The horse made for the shore, but some individuals having run along the side oilthe wharf attempted to catch him, and this scared Mr. Horse, who struck out boldly for the opposite shore, at the old fort. Here the current bore him out into the lake A boat stated from the shore in pursuit oi him, but they could not eaten up to him. Another boat was launched from the steam er, and between the two the horse was brought back to the Cadadian shore and land ed safely on the deck of the steamer. This is one of the most remarkable swims heard of round here. The distance was supposed by those who saw the occurrence to be over‘two outta hull miles.” ,. V mmwlfifihofit‘ three months ago this section of the country was visited by an army of shoddy pedlars ‘ who went from farm hoase to farm house 3 and sold thousands of dollars’ worth of cloth and other goods, taking the farmers’ notes at turee months for payment. The purchases varied from $5 to 350, but in most instances M5 was the amount of the bill. But pay do; has come round, and the notes have beer. sent on by express for collection, and it i: said that some shocking exhibtions of pro fsnity have been witnessed by parties who have been standing round when the dupeu ones have paid their notes and dilated upon the worthlessness of the goods which had been sold to them. Serves them right, we say. If they went to get value for their men ey they should buy from the regular mer- chants, whose policy it must be to give value for the money they receive in order to retain their customers. Sheddy pedlers will not be likely to receive a. very warm welcome when they visit Wentworth again.” The Peterborough Times has the following story, illustrative of the perils of deer hunt- ing:-.â€"-“A thrilling adventure happened the other day at Black Lake, in Eyre township. The clerk in Mr. Boyd’s shanty, Mr. G. J. Kane, in company with the cook, undertook 3 to kill a deer, which they had put to water, 1 Kane fired th shoots at it, but did not kill the animal. He and J. Lane, the cook, then got into a. bark canoe, and went out, armed only with aeluh, their ammunition having run out. The deer, a very large buck, went for the canoe in lively style, punching a. hole in it, so that it filled rapidly. This happen- ed about 300 yards from shore, and Lane‘ swam to the land, but Kane not being able l to swim, stuck to the canoe, and with diffi- ‘ealty managed to reach term firnm again, 1 exhausted, but very thankful that he had not become winter grub for the bass in the lake. The buck, which had thus raised Gain with our sports-men, and so nearly sunk the real Kane, was killed not long after by another man, and the shanty men have now 248 lbs. of venison to eat this winter along with their pork.” Constantinople despatches deny that Mou- khtar Pasha was wounded on Monday. They also mention the engagement at Baibu: t, which may account for Moukhtar Pasha’s de- termination to defend Erzeroum, as Baiburt is on his shortest line of retreat to Trebioznd or it may be the Russians unsuccessfully attempted to prevent reinforcements going to Erzeroum. The latter is the most proba- ble, as further Turkish despatches reiterate the accounts of the Russian defeat in the last attack, which would be hardly possible had not reinforcements arrived. The report of the Russian‘repulse before Erzeroum is confirmed. ' ' Forty-eight perdOns in the service of ex- Suittm Mumd have been arrested in conse- quence of the recent conspiracy.

Rye and flour are exempted fgom duty until March 151;, 1878. A despatch from Constantinople reports neavy fighting going on before Plevna. the past two days. The battle thus far is favour- able for the Turks. The Turks on Saturday night attempted to surprise Skobeloff’spositions. The Russians allowed the Turks to approach within hundred paces, when they received them with a heavy fire. I‘he Turks retreated to an entrench- ed position, and maintained a violent fire until two o‘clock on Sunday morning. The Turks renewed their attempt to cap- ture Skobeloff’s position on Sunday. The position is an entrenched hill near Brestovic which Snobeloff surprised on Friday, and captured with the loss of 250.

A Belgrade special says Servia replied. to the Porte’s demand for the withdrawal of Serviau troops from the frontier that it is nmpossible to leave the inhabmants of the frontier without military protection.

The total Turuish force 1n Albania. is only eighteen battalions. There is no force at Antiveri or Scutari sufficient to oppose the Montenegrins. It is reported Skobeloff captured addition- al Turkish positions on Monday night. A movement of the troops inside Plevna is ob- servable, as though a sortie was imminent. The Turkish Foreign Minister has miorm- ed the Servian Agent that the Porte no lon- ger doubted that Servia was preparing for par. The Agent replied that he had received no confirmation of the statement. The Russians traversed Etropol Pass, near Orchanie, but were repulsed by a.
