':"• Paris, from its geographical situation and - . its Immense resources, is Uie only city in .... France capable of rivaling Antwerp. In ''.case of siege every obstacle in the way of .'■ ', ■'■ .furnishing food to the French capital would "disappear, '.. were there a canal connecting '"■ '■}': -Paris with the sea, and this fact has been ifl-. -recognized by tho Germans. ■'. .'fl'i '■•.-'■'' in 1832; Antwerp was the twentieth in •'•' rank among seaports Havre the sixth, Mar :.-•■ 'sallies tbe third, Bordeaux the fifteenth, and "..* London, first in 18.12, is first to-day, Havre /..'■•'the seventeenth, Bordeaux, the ". twenty fourth, Marseille; the ninth and Antwerp " the twelfth in rank.

M. .':• Bouquet de la Grye, member of the Insti *: tute ami author of the project for making Paris a seaport, wishes to make the Seine a '.' . ••" canal by meaus of locks, increase in depth, '• and connecting its various arms by diguing, • •" thus shortening the. distance between Paris and Rouen some twenty-five miles. In this *:*■' way the distance from Paris to Rouen would '..fl be only 120 miles, the navigable chanuel - would have a draught of 19 feet and its - width would vary from 110 to 120 feet,, thus ""' : permitiing the ships to pass each other.- ', • *•"*.

England and Germany, if France becomes rich, pros perous and strong, it will not have lost its time.. • ___ - __. **' The science of statistics is a very plea-ant one; with figures, it teaches many tilings interesting to know, and in concise term- . explains the problems of a . complicated philosophy. But the most Parisian of Parisians knows very little about Paris. Who knows that the city contains 87,426 trees, and that pavements in stone represent 6,339,1). meters sqnare, while those in wood cover only a saf ace of 440,900 meters square? The sewers of Paris are about 2,025,417 feet in length, and the amount expended each year on streets is about £3.000,000. Parisians eat about fifty million pounds, of poultry each year, 338,000. oxen arc slaughtered for their use, 20*1,000 calves, 2,000,000 sheep and' 4oo,ooo hogs. . Sixty million pounds of fish and thirty-two mill ion pounds of fruit must also be added to the list For every 10,000 inhabitants there are 93 marriages: and for every 21,000 mar riages there are only 35 between cousins, 20 between brothers and. sisters-in-law and three between uncle and niece. In the poorer quarters of Paris the num ber of births is very grout, but in the richer quarters the average is very small. Statis tics follow the foundlings also, for of sixty waifs, twenty-one are left outside doors 'as there are no doorsteps), six in churches, six teen on the sidewalks and two in gardens. - Each year Parisians take out 7000 patents for various inventions, send and receive 50.000 foreign telegrams and: 3,000,000 city telegrams. Parisians send each year 33,000.000 letters, 13,000,000 postal cards and 85,000,000 news- papers. In Paris thore are 11,000 cabs and the same number of omnibuses; 25,000 objects are lost each year in cabs, and at the rail way stations * 67,000,000 travelers ■ arrive yearly. There are about 32,000 arrests each year, and of those arrested only thirty-five arc as sassins. '•.-*•. In the city there are sfi,OCo gaslights, so that Paris is just one hundred times better lighted than it was a century ago. * Baroness ALTIIK.V Salvador. SPOKIS IN GENERAL. The Result of Cm.-1...

The new time-card . on the narrow-gauge route provides a train for these "people which Ifeavcs this city every Saturday evening at 11:43 -o'clock and goes through to Los Gatos, giving residents of the latter place advantages uotbeiore enjoyed. This train will accommodate hunters who desire to go out of town biindays, and, for- their ac commodation, a late train will bo run from Los Gatos ou Sunday evenings, reaching, ban Francisco at ß:os o'clock. * .--.'".:*■ * BERVICE OF LEGAL.

The games will be played under the Ameri can inter-collegiate rules. ■ • The game yesterday was between the San Franciscos and Oaklands.- The latter am was badly handicapped in weight and in the experience of some of its players. Not withstanding this fact it made a most credi table showing, though such a fact would not appear from the score. 'The grounds were in very bad condition, the earth being soft and sandy, in some places almost two inches deep, and affording very little oppor tunity for good running. * • During' the progiess of tho game clouds of dust concealed some of the players from the spectators and, rendered it difficult for the releree to. make his decisions, The attend- : ance was not large, owing to the little ad vertising which the proposed contests have obtained. At the next game, owing to the interest excited yesterday, a largo crowd is expected. -..-.,-, . . • . . SUBSTITUTES XKOUGIIT.UP. .
