French ladies at a race-course take leave of avy small sense of equity natural to them, or in- duced by education. One observes their want of justice in the manner they conduct themselves ‘on the chairs in front of the stand, or in the trib- unes. The Parisienne has no faith in beauty un- adorned, and immense faith in the powerof .dress as a means to the extension of her empire. Her great object at Longchamps is to detach her toilet, which is a work of art, and, asan -agreeable arrangement, to. be preferred to Mr. Whistler’s pictures. dJuxtaposition to other ele- gant “harmonies” spoils the one to produce ; Which she has gone to aworld of trouble and -prodizal expense. So on a fine day she enthrones herself in the space before the stand on 2 rush- bottomed chair provided gratis for the first- elass spectators. Another chair, planted a few yards away, and fastened to her throne by a -Fibbon sbe has purposely brought, is the deposi- tary of her bouquet. Her card-cace is laid on a ‘third, a ficld-glass on a fourth, a wrap on a fifth, a racing-card on 2 sixth, anda seventhis thrown down, snd, under the pretext of using it as a footstool, made to lend itself to the display of Louis Quinze shoes and silk stockings. No : Frenchman of her monde would, though: drop- ‘ping with fatigne or suffering from tight’ boots, dsre to make a breach in the intrenchment which the Jeader of {fashion hes constructed round her train, until the moment when the jhorses are rushing up to the winning-post. Then there is a Violent surge forward of liaman be- ings toward the paling which separates the prav- cled space below the tribunes from the course. Polite conventions are forgotten. Each rushes ahead to see the victorious horse, and excited curiosity enables the monopolizer of the seven chairs to bear the invasion with good temper. But,fif invaded between the races, she is spite- ful as an angry crabfish and appeals to awretch- ed male, bearing a cloak and loafing about near her, to protect her against the intruder. Should the- aggressor be 2 lone Jady, the poor mantle- bearer is courageous. . Should the fair foe have in attendance a bearded pard, the Joafine male tries to effect. compromise. When he is a person of bellicose humor, he resorts to hixh swords, which frichten the invaded lady and in- vader out of their wits, and the former pufs a stop tothe quarrel by yielding achatr. She as no more pity for one of her sex “expecting to be ill”? than Queen Isabella or the Marechale MacMahon. In the tribunes the clegante Parisienne spreads out on the bench each side of jerawrap and other portable articles she has with her; she generally brings a coupie of paletots, to cach of which a place is given, and then she seats herself with ber fan in action, and looking tothe right andleft in detached glory The moment a new-comer approaches she extends ber fan as far as she is able toward him or her (if a lady, and in a decided tone says, ‘‘Mon- sicur,” or Madame,” ‘toutes ces places sont prises.” Ihave witnessed ugly squabbles be- tiveen Parisienncs of refined manners, sho abused each other as far as it was possible fu drawing-room French; and I have seen ex- changes of cards which feminine feuds about the ‘andue monopoly of seats brought about. The life of a gentleman serving as an escort to an elegantiy-dressed French lady at Longchamps on ‘Grand-erix ‘days is in serious danger.” . WOMEN AS BLACKSMITHS. . ‘A correspondent of the Pall-Afall Gazette, writing from Rowley Regis, a Lancashire yil- Jage, thus describes one of the strange sights of that strange district: «*T came here to inquire for myself how much it would cost to deliver 100 tons of coal a month by the Rowley Colliery‘Company at two or three given localities: within a distance of ten miles; and, having satisfied myself on that point, much.to, my pleasure [ continued my ‘walk from the coal-pit up through the fields to Rowley Old Church, I came to 2 place called Bell End, which is apparently a new part of the old villaee. Through a small window 4. observed a temale head bobbing up and down; soon I heard the sound of a ham- mer; and, never having seen any rivet-making done by human hands, I threaded my way through some brick passages until 1 came fo the little smitpy where ‘Alice? was at work. ‘This was the name by which her father called her, whom [ met on my way, and to whom 1am §udebted for the following remarkable piece. of Jmowledge..: Alice, I may say, was & young wife engaged in blowing bellows, heating pieces of iron ina ‘gleed? forze, and producing rivets ‘from an anvil at the rate of 3,000 a day. For this labor, Alice—her father proceeded to tell me inher presence—gets from the warehouse As 8d, out of which she has to pay for wear snd tear of tools 14, carriage 1d, and alike sum for gleeds,—a kind of small coke made expressly for nail and sivet forzes. On Monday she does her washing, on Saturday. ber cleaning-up, so that she only works at rivets four days in the ‘week, and her gross earnings, therefore, amount to 4s 34 for forging 12,000 rivets. I have said nothing of the rent which Alice would pay, ‘and which might amountto one 1s a week. She was a sedate yount woman, well-spoken, with very fair hair, and a low, swect voice. John Price (Alice’s father) then, at my request, took me te see neighbors, Edward and. Phyllis Tromans, who lived and worked at making nails-close by. Phyllis is 2 nandsome ‘woman, With beautiful white tceth, and abun- dance of flesh, which Rubens mignt have paint- 4, it is so plentiful and rosy.. This woman was forging large wails; and the manner in which she made nails with a pofot, and a head an inch and a half in circumference, fly off a piece of hot jron, was marvelous to bebold. She works from § o'clock in the morning until 9 at nicht. ‘and in- four days will will forge fifty-four pound weicht of clout nails, for which she will receive the wondrous price of 3s 8d, out of which sbe bas to pay 5d for gleeds and 24 for tools. Her busband works ‘as hard ‘as he cap drive” from 6 o'clock in the morning until 11 st night; and his week’s wagesamounts to 12s, from.which 10d for gleeds and 4d for tools will have to be deducted,—to say nothing of rent. Edwara Tromans was only 0 years old, but-looked much nearer 70. Two other young women were hammering away at rivets, jo company with Phyllis, and never so Jong as J live shall I forget that little blacksmithy. I once traveled many miles to sce ‘ Vulcan's Forge” by Velasquez; but there was in that famous picture no figure equal to that of Phyl- lis Tromans, and I shall remember Phyllis to ‘whe day of my death. ‘Thateuch a woman should be slaving in soot,—blowing a bellows, now with her lett, and then wielding a hammer with her rieht hand,—forging clout pails for twelve hours a day, in order to earn less than 40 pence ina week, is a pzenomenon that I would never have believed as being possible in England if I-had not seen it. ee . THE LOVERS OE SCHOHARIE. zs -". Albany Exentng Post. Asad incident in the life of a yount lover oc- curred recently near the Village of Cobleskill, in the County of Schoharie. The incident is more affecting in its pathos because of its simil- itudeto the tragedy of “Romeoand Juliet,” with s rendition qf which we have yery recently been treated; and the moral which it reflects is the more vivid because of its having occurred-in the game county and not many miles from the love- Jy village in which the- Schoharie Bend for the Promotion of Early Marriages is situated. A nice young gentleman of 17, named Newbold, whose father is a very deserving and industrious though not very successinl cobbler in the Villare of Cobleskill, loved, as might be supposed, one of the’ very, loyeliest maidens of that region, aged 40, pamed Sarah ‘Peach, whose. father conducted an entirely prosperous cider-mill a mile or two from the village. Sarah, besides being one ofthe loveliest’ maidens of her age in the neighbor hood of Cobleskill, was adorned with those special virtues of prudence, cconomy, industry, sobriety, temperence, chastity, etc..—all the virtues, in {nct,—which are the almost invaria- ble attributes of 2 maiden: of 40, living in a country-villace. Newbold’ came to love her chiefly becanse of that great cause of all loving, Propinquity. He helpea to run her father’s cider-mill, and naturally saw a great deal of Sarah, who came with remarkable frequency, at all hours, to the mill to see the process of cider- naking. The graciousness with which she would offer to assist young Newbold, whose Gaties as assistant-engineer of the mill required: nearly all his attention, first attracted, then captivated, the nice young man. The date of | his captivation “was ‘on a Friday (we © are not particular about ‘dates, but miention Friday because of its correlation to the other days), and on Saturday he had told his love. On Sunday, in one corner of the church, while the congregation were: all standing up and they were unnoticed. he re- ‘ceived the acceptance of his suit.. On the same Sunday nicht he got four hard-seasoned beans shot into him <because he huvg around her house too late; and on Monday he had exactly thirteen blisters drawn out of his legs, und arms, and back, by the old Mr. Peacn, with a Jong coach-whip with a cracker on the end,—the old Mr. Peach being exceptionally expert in the use of that weapon, and baving ap arm nearly three fect long, and ten inches thick at the muscle. Mr. Pesch was a practical man, and objected to Newbold’s suit be- cause Newbold was entirely penniless,— rather, worse than penniless, iodeeil, be- cause eyen the money that was due him from Peach for services was unpaid, and likely always to be so. Besides, Peach looked upon Newbold as a small boy;.had himself beca heard to describe his daughter Sarah as “a mighty tough-hidea chicken.” But, notwith- starding the very violent. opposition of Mr. Peach, young Newbold: determined to press his suit, and, haying met accidentally one morning behind the barn, he and Sarah agreed to remedy matters-entirély, and make the very best of a bad bargain by drowning to- gether that night. ‘The opportunity came- 2s expected, and Newbold and Sarah met on the banks of # small pond which embellishes and irrlgates Mr. Peach’s small property, aod with mutual expressions of never-dying love, they clasped hands and walked trembling and tear- ful into the water. The banks did not shelve very eradually; and all of a sudden Sarah, with one step. sank over her head, with a loud, bub- Diing: cry of “Saye me, Thomas!” Taomas, however, had had enonch of suicide. He sprang in two paces to the shore, and. departed with rapid strides for another county, and, bas not since been heard of in Schoharie. His views of the philanthropic object of the’ great Schoharic Band are, doubtless, tothe effect that some Marriages can be too early, and that in all cases they snould beat least pretty nearly caually early on both sides.. Sarah, we may as well re- mark, scrambled out of her predicament and went home, intimating to herself that sbe was glad she had tested the affection of the little puppy, and declaring herself delicnted with ber experiment. - But, nevertheless. she grew pale and thin, and in her dreams still thinks of her “Romeo banished.” A COSTLY ‘‘ DISCRETION.” Oltre Logan's London Letter. to, Cincinnati Engutrer. On what a scale of magnificence and expense life is conducted among fashionable people dur- ing this race week it would be difficult for ordi- wary people to guess. But an affair which is the subject of much talk'at present, though its disentanglément has not reached the courts yet, will give an idea of the reckless extraya- gance which prevails... There‘is a system of bet- ting carried on between gentlemen and ladies who frequent the race, called winning the ‘dis- cretion,” —a notion borrowed from the French. If the gentleman wins, his payment is tacitly understood to be nothing more than a pair of gloves. The story goes, that Lord Rosebery, two years ago, won the discretionary pair of gloves from the wealthy heiress who now bears his name, and that, with the gracé and modesty of a young Queen’ who scarce can tell her love, and yet must, since her suitor dare not ask for it, she sent him the gloves, with the third finger of the left hand slipped through an engagement-ring. On this hint he spake. But to the affair in question: At the last Newmarket races a certain lady won a discretion from a sporting Lord, possessed of large means, but nota profligate ora fool. She tola him she would like a Norwegian belt,—the raging fancy for the moment,—a silver-clasped affair, rencr- ally made of Russia. leather. He acquiesced, and desired ber to order it herself at his jewel- er's, She did so, and in course of time obtained the most beautiful Norwerian belt ever. beheld by mortal eves. Inclosed in aviolet velvet case, itself avery triumph of. artistic manufacture, was the object for which. the following bill was sent in to the astonished discrotion-loser: Lord—, to Mesers.-—, Dr. To one Norwegian belt of solid silver, ornamented with several rubies, emeralds. and pink topaz stars, and diamond cluster clasp—£722. Now, aman less'sure of his own position in society would very likely have paid this bill (because it was what is called a debt of honor) and saidno word about it; but this Lord isa man of the world, and he instantly proceeded to lay the case before: his Club, asking for advice in the. matter. The decision was, that the extent of his liability was £40, or $200, as the most costly belt to be found in the shops of London was ‘to be had for that. The lady’s husband has been appealed to, but he is unable to pay; the jewelers insist on their claim ;- the Lord will pay only £40. It is probable the Souris will baye to-decided who must be the loser. = : A MATRIMONIAL EXPERIENCE. ‘The marriage ceremony, joining-in: bonds in- diseolubly Mr. John’ T. Farley, of St. Louis, and Miss Nettie Willoughby, of Olathe, was performed in the parlor of the American House at Olathe yesterday afternoon. Miss Willough- by is the young lsdy whose ‘affections were re- cently ensnared and band won by W.L. Sargent, who, in consequence of his ensnaring proclivi- ties and his already having one wife living, is now serving out aterm in the Penitentiary for bigamy. A few months ago Miss Nettic was for a brief period Mrs. Sargent. Since that time, by the Jaw’s aid, she has again become Miss Wil- loughby. .Mr. Farley is a commercial traveler of St. Louis, and is in every respect a most wor- thy youn man. His attachment for Miss Nettie swas formed about eighteen months amo. She re- ciprocated his love. ‘The couple were engagcd to be married, but Miss Willourbby’s mamma did not favor the match. Consequently the engage- ment was “broken off.” Sargent come alon, and captivated Miss Nellic. They were married, Before the end of ‘the honeymoon the groom wasin hock. Mr. Farley still retained his affec- tion for the young lady, and deeply sympathized with her in the trouble that had been brought upon her by the unprincipled Sargent. As soon ‘as matters Were adjusted between the youn lady and Sargent, and after the latter had been taken away from Olathe, Mr. Farley renewed his attentions in earnest. He was accepted. Mr. and Mrs. Farley arrived in Kansas City on the Fort Scott & Gulf last evening and took the cars for St. Louis. The wedding was a private one, not more than six persons being present. - LANGTRY AND 'NEILSON. Howard Paul, in'a gossipy contribution to the American: Register, says: “Mrs: Langtry, the ‘sensation beauty? of the last three scasons, is going for a little trip to the United States, and has engaged a passagé on one of the maghificent vessels of the White Star Line. As the lady in question bas rather used up England in beauty business, she pines no: doubt. for fresh fields and pastures new. , The fact. is,.

A: California widow, who has been tisiting relatives near Rondout, N. Y., was driven to the Mary Powell's wharf on the ‘morning of June 28. After the steamer’s lines were cast off and the vessel had reached the middleof the stream, the ledy appeared ‘atthe tickct-office window with an appealing exclamation that she had lost ber wallet, and that it was filled with valaables. ‘The steamer put back to the wharf, and a friend who was with her mounted a horée and started back to overtake the carrisge. He caurht up with ft before long, and found a large, red leather wallet under-the seat. It contained a gold chain, a set of cameo earrings which cost $6,500, a diamond brooch of star diamonds eo using Hop Bitters. which cost $4,000, a check for $3,000 payable to bearer, four $100 bills, and two or three $10 iB FEMININE NOTES. * The ladies in theirshade-hats are among those that go down to the sea in chips. “ Hire education for women,” observed Pater- familing as he paid the governess $50 for the Jast quarter’s French lessons.

Rousseau's Fatal Anger, Jinnca Journal, July t- A brief dispatch the other day brought the news of a tragedy in Texas in which a druggist was murde! bya soldier. As the details of the peculiarly Texas style of settling disputes have not been published, we give them in the. following extract from a letter from Ur. P. C. Gilbert, formerly of, this. place. The. Doctor says: , : . Caste on THE East Bran CH OF THE NEUECES ‘Texas, June 19, 1879.—The facts as we have them are that Lieut.” Rousseau, “son of Gen. Rousseau, deceased, of the Twentieth Infautry, qwas over in Brackett Sunday njzbt, and had “a drunken altercation with ‘a druggist by the name of" Rivers, commonly called Dr. Rivers (but all that he knew of medicine he learned while Hospital Steward). The primary - cause of the quarrel was whisky; the immediate cause was a dispute over cards. , Lieut. Rous- seau. shot Rivers five times, sny one of which was fatal, and killed him instantly. He was immediately arrested aud putin jail, “where he now is. As represented to us, it is a case of unqualified murder, although it is rea- sonably certain Rousseau had .n6 knowledce of his act. Looking at it from amoral, not a legal, stand-point, his guilt is greatest in ever drink- ing’a Urop of any intoxicating liquor, for it in- yariably makes him fightin crazy, ond ‘s¢v- eral times ho has when drunk ‘attemoted to kill brother officers. Knowing ‘his own peculiarity so well, he had discarded carry- ing his reyolyer, and in ‘this instance no,se- rious_result would have followed the quarrel tad not a. bystander handed him one. Rous- seau is a young man, about 25 years old/and although not by any mesns brilliant, is usally a pleasant gentleman to meet, kind-hearted and generous, his most distinguishing characteris- tic being a passion for flowers, We have heard nothing further than I have. related except that the officers are contrivuting most liberally to secure the best legal counsel for him, Gen. MacKenzie having headed ‘the list with $50. Rousseau has a mother and sister living, who are represented as most estimable ladies. ———a ! "he Dignity of the Sonate. Boston Traveller. It is thought that the Senate is losing its dig- nity. a never had much‘ dignity to lose, partly becaust it has hadso_many Presidency-seckers in it, for to seek the Presidency spoils a man’s temper, if it be good, and. makes it worse, if it be pad. There uséd to be as hot fights in the Senate as auy that have occurred in the presept session; and displays of blackguardiem were not entirely unknown in that body., Henry Clay, being Secretary of State, called out Sena- tor Randolph and took ashot at him, because Ola Roanoke blackguarded him in the extrem- est style. How Mr. Clay himsclf came down upon Mr. Choate in the Senate is not forgotten, and Mr. Benton and Mr. Clay had some stiff bouts, and so did Mr. Clay and Mr. Calboun. “Tam the master of the Senator from Ken- tucky,”? said Mr. Calhoun, on a certain occasion. “My master!” said Mr. Clay in his most scorn- ful ‘manner; “I “youldn’t bave the Senator from South Carolina for my slave!” ————— How to Swim. The editor of the London ruth, after ob- serving that probably not one in twenty of the persons who indulge in boating on a holiday can swim, proceeds to tell his readers how to acguire- this accomplishment. ‘ Nothing,” he says, ‘ig more easy. When the air is out of a body its owner sinks; when the airisio the body its owner floats. Let any.one slowly. draw in his breath ag he draws back his legs and pushes forward bis arms, retain it while he is preparing for tne stroke which is to propel him, and slowly allow it to go through his lips as his arms are passed back from before his head to his sides and his legs are stretched out. The action of the stroke should not ‘be quite hori- zontal, but should be made on a slight incline downward. The real reason why people take weeks to learn how to swim is because swim- ming professors either do not know, ordo not choose to teach, the philosophy of breathing so ag to render the body buoyant. I would engage to.make any one a tolerable swimmer in an hour, unless he be a congenital idiot.” ———— One-Horse Comets. . Burdette.

By ali the starry worlds that swing: in space, when “we” were a boy the comets used to come around every summer, with beads on them like fire-balloons, and tails that stretched from the big dipper to the south- ern cross, and wagged back and forth like a be- wildered torchlizht procession; aud came so close to the’ carth that they put the ‘moon out.

EUROPEAN GOSSIP. FACTS, FASHION, AND FUN. ~ Special Correspondence of The Tribune New Yonrs, Joly 2—Count Andrassy hap- pens to be unwell at a very critical period for’a Ministry,—while elections are going forward. And here it may not be observed that the Galli- cian papers are complaining of a lack of proper candidates. Four Judges are mentioned in one district. as coming forward. Bad as a super- fluity of lawyers may be considered in Legislative Assemblies, the spectacle of salaried Judges and officials monopo- lizing popular representation is some- thing worse. Important questions arc, to be decided in the ensuing session: The debt of Hungary, which may be said to haye been created since 1887, and which consists princpally of railroad-advances; the further extension of the railroad-system, and the question of mili- tary service. There is steadily. growing Up .a community of nations which, placed in a favor-, able position for the Oriental trade, must sooner érlater leave England and Germany in the background and isolated. Even now, Turkish and Persian merchants make purchases person- ally in Vieonf, and the Oriental mind of the Magyar will better understand such people than would English or Germans. gat . The people of Vienna haye been stdrtied by discovering that one of the police was a pick- pocket. Sucn a case was unheard of previously; and’sll the Vienna papers, in beautiful antith- esis to. those of New York, are telling what good boys the Vienne police are, and how poor- ly they are paid. The force consists of 2,650 wen. Out of this number only thirty-two men were charged with offenses in 1871, and only eighteen convicted. Nor is theremuch variation in this proportion of offenses and convictions ‘up to 1876, when the charges were fifty-six and the convictions only five. This is somewhat different from the showing of “the finest force in the world,”? which would, in the course of so few years, appear in their full complement of 2,200 men before the indulzent Commissioners. Let us now see how the ‘Austrian policemen are paid: Those belonging to the second class receive only 37 florins 50 Jeretitzers per month,—in rough figures, $18. "The New York policeman is paid $100 for’ prob- ably less efficacious work. Men .in the first class receive 45 florins. Inspectors of the sec-., ond class have the magnificant salary of $25.44 per month, and those of-the arst class $29.28. Under such circumstances’ a little pecniation might scem almost unavoidable; but there are seldom any complaints of the kind,—which would wo to§prove gthat the quality of the men, and not the amount of the salary, is the great safeguard. And yct the Continental police have hard customers to deal with at times, but the worst class of criminals are forbidden the large cities—a measure which will have to be one day introduced in this country. This- parsimony of the Vienva authoritics, however, is not contined to the police. A very promising physician, named Goetz, was appointed some time azo as assistant to the Almshouse. The salary was only $144 per annum; and, finding it impossible to procure private practice, or to live on the above ‘sum, the young doctor com- mitted suicide. Doctors have indeed a bard time; what with cleemosynary institutions, and over-competition in their own ranks, the profes- sion is not what it used tobe. It is a gencral belief in London that many cases of sudden death among doctors are simply suicides; and that, when knowing the incurable nature of their own diseases, they make use of sccret poisons. It is not often that a female prisoner has to be brought before the courts enveloped in a lin- ‘en sheet.’ But such a spectacle was lately seen in a Vienna Police Court. The accused woman wwas a Jewess, and was notorious for her con- duct. Having torn off her clothing, ~othing -was left for the embarrassed policemen than to swaadle uy the virago. Yet she only received eight days’ imprisonmect. A somewhat similar case occurred 2 few years ago in New York. An ‘Irishwoman, over 6 feet in hight, and a regular fighter, had to be arrested in the not over- peaceful district of Tenth avenuc. ‘The police, though well aware that no two of the force could bring the woman to the* station, bad yain- ly imagined that four would be sufficient. On» presenting themselves at the door they found} the woman armed-with a poker,—which, at the same time, constituted the only article which. she had about her person. It finally required seven men, two blankets, and an express-wagon to bring the female Zulu to prison. ; ‘The following may read funny, although it doubtless did not seem so to the principal actor: It is related in a French paper as a fact, although it looks like the work of some Continental Max Adeler: Yvon Kasegua- reck is a student in the College Charlemagne, and occupies very comfortable quarters with his parents. -A room on the ground-floor he uses a5 a sitting-room, and his night-quarters are in the attic. He is much given to the study of chemistry and electricity. Lately a letter was received by the family from ‘an elderly aunt of Yvyon’s, announcing her ap- pronching visit." It was determined in the fam- jly-council that Yyon would have to vacate the sitting-room, and restrict himself to the upper stories, s0 as to instalt his aunt on the ground-floor. This, arranzement he did not ‘seem to appreciate; but he confined himself more closely than ever to his to rooms, and, in answer to inquiries, replied that he was “potashing his boat.” At last the good aunt arrived, and’ was received by the whole family ut the railway-station. She was instalicd in the room. She was pleased and happy. In the tiddle of the first night of her stay, while peacefully dreaming, she was awakened by a peculiar and incessant rig. She looked round the room to'see where the little bell could be, when she perceived a green flame in the far corncr. ‘Convinced that this fs the beginning of a. fire, she rises and goes for the water-pitcher: but, as she ar- rives at the spot, she no longer perceives any fire. She returns to her bed, much pondering on the ocurrence, when, just as she is about to lie down, she becomes aware that the flame is now behind the bed,—only this time it is a red. light. Thoroughly frightened, she goes to pull the bell-cord, when an explosion is heard, and a ball of fire, or ‘something like it, falls from the ceiling, explodes, re- bounds, and explodes again. The Indy then attempts to open the door; but, to her horror, she finds that she can only move it a” few inches. Everytime she places here foot on the door-mat she reccives a violent shock and is thrown backward. The whole family of the Kaseguarecks at last arrive on hearing her eries; but .they find it impossible to enter the room, for the door-mat forms an impenetrable barrier; flames burst forth from it, and detona- tions shake the house to its foundation. The Jady that same day gave back his room to Yvon, ‘and contented herself with sleeping along with a female member of the family. The European cities are going a-borrowing again; and, if ungrateful posterity does not some day go a-sorrowing, it.will be because the repudiationists, as a party, will not be extinct. Paris is going to build and enlarge, and a new Joan is required. Rome is to have a loan of 100,000,000 of lire: and that city of ruins, even majestic in them, will offer stronger contrasts. Saxony is also. to have ao loan of 100,000,000 . marks for purehasing —rail- ways, etc, and the income-tax is to be higher. Russia, too, 1s to -have a “‘new” loan. England will doubtless want onc before long, or after the Zulu war. Thus capital will yet have something todo. This is very satisfactory, al- thongh it haa been discovered, auent the great brilliancy of the season on the Continent, that “A great many people are getting rich, although there is no business doing.”” ‘When the average middle-classman in the American city of the near future livesin “flats,” and has a janitor and janitress to concihate,,it would be well at the same time to have in force the French laws regulating the concierges. A lodgerin aParis house did not liveon rood terms with the. janitor—or rather jauitress. He at last determined to “act even”? with his tormentor. He’ lives on the seyenth floor, and there are no clevators in the building. Heasks, one day, “Are there any letters for me?” “Here they are,” was the graff reply. ‘Ono! Ican’t take them here; you must bring them up to my room,’ said the gentleman. The French law is, that janitors must bring up to the rooms all letters once in twenty-four hours, So the lady had to Eo up ere, before the Paris court, the gentleman called her “all sorts of names,” and threatened to kick her down-staits, even if he did not dissemble his love. The javitress thereupon refused to bring up any more letters. But the lodger was not to be triflea with,—be summoned the lady; and, as sbe had no wit- nesses, aud as the lodger bad always treated her politely in public, she was fined 20 francs and costs of court. It is very singular that, while some people arc complaining inthis country that there are too maoy lawyers, Judges, and law, there isa con- trary complaint in England and rauce. In the former country the law’s delays are notorious, and come of the English Judges bave undoubt- edly. busy: times. . A few cases now and thea, though not approaching the Tichborne affair, are very heavy, and require much study, The Irish Judges have in some instances sinecures, according to her story | and receiye salaries ranging from $25,000 to $35,000 ner annum. The London - Law-Courts are blocked; and civil cases have to wait for months. A similar state of affairs prevails in Paris,—fourteen moaths being the allotted time before a case can be even. tried en- premiere jostance. At Bordeaux matters are’ worse: of- ten the courts sit till 7p. m., but the business cannot be gone’ through. ' The usual time for aeccond hearing is seven months. Now and then there is some humor in the Jtalian papers—in the caricatures. ‘There is often a great deal of fine sarcastic touch which requires little letter-press to explain it. The terrible amount of crime in the country.would give a fine field for lawyersif the. clients were not so poor. ‘The following shows’ that some- times the Italian.juryman Goes not appreciate fine pleading: In a caso brought before the Roman courts “June 10, where the. prisoner was accused of the,theft uf an ass and its foal, the lawyer. spoke as’ follows (the witnesses had all been heard, and, to make matters worse, the prisoner haa confessed that he had taken the ‘ass—under his protection): ‘Gentlemen of the jury, the man who stands before you. and whose fate’ you.are about to. decide, is, above all, a good-hearted man; and, as you well know, such people are rare nowadays: ~|Movement of the jury.] The prisoner, knew very well that it would be more difficalt to steal_ the foal along with the ass; but he knew, if he ecparated it from the dam, that’ the foal would "soon be “dead. His noble-heart could do no such tning; his conscience coujd not bear, it, and be, only | listened to its’ dictates. You will also act in the same noble spirit,’”?: ete. The prisoner was found euilty, and sentenced to three years’ hard labor. _ PRE SF D. E. THE§FRENCH ACADEMY AND ST. AC. we Begay PAUL. ‘ Translated from a French Journal, for : by Emma Stantey. ‘The reception-speeches of the Academie Fran- caise were, until the present tinie, specimens of cloquencé more or less elevated, which, when” the ceremony was once over, were of fo conse- quence outside of the Institute." Thenew mem- ber alluded to his- predecessor as he judeed proper; he prajscd the Academy, nnd’ advanced stich-and-such' philosopliical’ and “literary ques- tions as might confirm 'the character of his elec- tion. Thereupon ‘another Academician replied. approving, arguing, or ‘maintaining certain re- serves,—sometimes casting ‘bitter thrusts at his new eolleagne, or taunting him in'the Academical’ tone, which is in nowise incompatible (at least tradition affirms so). with the laws of politeness.: 't was thus, ‘for example, at the time of the re- ception of Alfred de Vieny, when M. le Comte, Mole displayed much acerbity towards the author’ of * Cing-Mars.” “Alfred de Vigny did not feel obliged to enter upon a,polemical, ex- tra-parliamentary. course on this account, and the affair rested there. Assuredly the recent reception of M. Ernest Renan at the Academie was very uulike that of ‘Alfred de Vigny. M. Mezieres, in answering the new Immortal, far from imitating the Count Mole, rendered full justice to the merits of bis colleague, but nevertheless amused himself with secking alittle quarrel. Concerning what? The skéteb of St. Pau! by the author of "The Life of Jesus.” | M. Renan, as is well known, has gives a ‘physical déscviption of the celebrated ‘Apostle, not very flattering. _M.° Mezieres, who Goubtless created a St. Paut of another style,— The Tribune, tall, well-formed, with a countenance at ‘once handsome and agreeable,—allowed himeélf to express his doubts ‘regarding tne description given by M.- Renan, and very gently asked his “ dear colleague” if he was abzolutely certain of the ugliness of- St. Paul. Forty-eight‘hours afterwards, M. Renan, piqued -ia bis amour propre as a savant and conscientious historian, ‘published in 2 morning paper an answer to the address of M. Mezieres,—an answer which ea- tablished in the most peremptory manner, by proofs and documents, the truth of the asser- tions of M. Renan. M. Mezieres has not responded. ‘For scholars this. is a pity. It would «have been ao most interesting precedent, ane henceforth, at every Academical recéption.wq might have been entertained, not onlv withgtle two official specches; but with little historical and literary’ polemics, full of instruction for the public. Then St. Paul was not handsome. He had a small head and lovg nose, eyebrows joined in the middle of the forebead, and crooked Jegs. This is established by the testimony of an apol- ovist of St. Paul: while another authority adds that the Apostle was bald.’ A’ tbird -pictures a weak, infirm man, whose characteristics at first sight give but'a poor idea of his eloquence. Many other proofs were produced to impress the truth of M. Renan’s description of St. Paul. M. Mezieres will probably rearct this. T confess that the subject leaves me in a state of indifferenceyand that it: is of little imvor- tance that this inav of genius,—oue of the great lights of human. intelligence, one of the most ‘powerful orators whoever cxisted, as equally the street, under the title of Zondon EY i am told that it has a circulation of 97,000, and yet it is only in its fonrth number.

The sproprictor is the largest_exz merchant in Lon- don, and as his name is Peacock you may easily imagine the pleasing jokes of which he has been made the sudject.. But he has no end of money, is determined to beat down all rivalry, - and there cannot be a doubs that he is winning the day. The older established papers are all declining."

Cwsar was small and bald, like St. Paul; Napoleon did not reach the shoulders of his grenadiers;' and M. Thiers was exempt from military service on account of being under the hight regulated ‘by the statutes, But trath has nothing to do with it.. In proportion as history Joses itself'in the distances of the legend, we yoluntarily imagine heroes as beings physically admirable. « pie - “We have, for example,’ Jeanne d’Are. A sculptor of talent. conceived the idea, n few years ago, of representing her as she really was,;—small and very thin,—seated on a war-horse with. broad chest and twisted tail, like our’ . omnibus-horses. ‘The statue has aroused more detractors than partisans. Give us rather the equestrian statuc of Jeanne a’Arc erected in’ Orleans! Here is a deanne d’Arc solid, large, conforming wonder- fully taf the idea that one might form of a shepherdess transformed into a dragon. And, nevertheless, the first is true; . the latter is not. Conventionality, however, predominates. It is. this which prevents painters and sculptors from representing, either on’canyas or in marble; a St. Paul conforming to the historical proofs furnished. by -M. Renan. At the- end of a thousand years the ideal will become the trath. And the conclusion of the ‘Academical incident above is, that M. Renan-was perhaps right, but M. Mezieres was not entirely wrong! ROTHSCHILD’S WILL. London News, June19. ‘The will of the Jate Baron Lionel de Roth- schild is‘understaod to be sworn under £2,700,- 000. The willis in the handwriting of the de-. ceased, and ia dated July 2, 1865, Newcourt, St. Swithin’s Jane. The document occupies two ordinary sheets of Ietter paper, which were sewn together with silk and sealed. His sons, Sir Nathaniel de Rothschild and Mr. Alfred de Rothechild, are the executors of the will. The testator leaves to his wife £109,000, and a life interest of £50,000, arising from the. houses at Frankfort and in- London, together with the residence in Piceadily,, and the estate-at Gun- nersbury. A request is made that “my good _ wife” . shall ive = £10,000 to Jewish charities and £5,000 to others. Annuities: (in connection with which the mother ds to exercise discretionary power) are made in favor of sons and daughters; and the testator expresses a hope that they will be kiod to their mother, who had been kind to them and him‘also. To his two brothers (since dead) he bequeatheed £1,000 cach to purchase some- thing in remembrance of him—a picture or anything else.””. The testator thanked God for the success and prosperity that attended him, and hoped that the same guiding hand would direct his sons. Excepting the immediate mem- bers of his own family, aboye referred to, no other name or. legacy is mentioned inthe will. We understand that there are some imperfect at- testation clauses in the will, avd marginal notes intended for insertion, but nut signed. ‘The testator advises his sons of the happy unity that existed between him and his two brothers, to which he attributes the success of the firm, and hopes that the same kind feeling will con tinue to maintain the position of the house.
