PARIS, TIIIEDAT EVININC.
If the Army Bill passes to-day, which is pro-
'bible, there will be a sitting to-morrow to hear
laterpellations on the exciting cemetery question,
and.then the Corps Legialatif will take a short
holiday. The bill on the press may, it is hoped,
come on for discussion -before the end of the
month.
A new liberal paper, with the old title of the
Globe, has appeared this evening. The redaction
is very strong, comprising several well-known names
combined with an infusion of young blood. Per- '
mission to be sold in the public streets, which had 'I
been obtained, has been withdrawn at the last
moment. It is really wonderful that the paper, of
whose opposition proclivities there could have been
no doubt from the first, was allowed to appear at
all.
The sale of the Nein Jaune in the streets has
just been prohibited.
Several deputies mean to make an effort to call
the attention of the Chamber to the arbitrary pro-'
hibition of one peculiar mode of circulation to the
prejudice of any journal which may displease the
government. Such a jurisdiction cannot be justi-
fied on any theory. There are harsh laws enough
to keep the opposition in check, and it is arguable
that these are necessary for the protection of the'
imperial government. But that the government
should be enabled to say at pleasure to a particular
paper, " I cannot specify any particular offence
that you commit, but I don't like you, and there-
fore readers shall only be able to buy you in a shopi
and not in the stalls where other journals are sold"
is a monstrous proposition impossible to be jus-
tified.
The operation performed by Dr. Nekton on
Count de Goltz, the Prussian ambassador, was a
very serious one. It is not, as might have been
surmised, true that Count de Goltz went to Berlin
to fetch a Prussian doctor to consult with Dr.
Nekton. Dr. Kolb, the resident physician to the
Prussian embassy, was Dr. Nelaton's only coad-
jutor. The following two bulletins have been
published:
I His Excellency Count de Dolts, having been able to take
chloroform, did not seer during the operation, which was
completely successful. His excellency has enjoyed some
sleep since. His general state is very satisfactory.

His excellsney's state continues to be satisfactory.
NELATON.

The count was under the knife for the long
period of ten minutes. He is a strong man, and
three people were required to hold him. The
Emperor sends every day to inquire after him, and
the King and Queen of Prussia and M. de Bis-
marck make frequent inquiries by telegraph. He
takes broth and tea, and is said to be in a fair way
for rapid recovery. The rumour of his recall, given
by yesterday's Figaro and other journals, is very
positively contradicted.
A frightful accident happened at Mantes during
the frost last week. A countryman made a bet
that he would cross the frozen Seine there driving
a cartload of hay. Twenty-eight people followed
I the cart to see the result of the wager. In the
middle of the river the ice broke and the whole
party fell into the water ; nine only were rescued.
The bodies of the others have since been found.
Among the victims was the Mayor of Porcheville,
a M. Canal.
The child of misfortune born in the Melun prison
a few days ago, of the murderess Frigard, died on
Jan. 12 in the hospital of that town.
Marshal Niel has constituted a military mission
to follow the British army in Abyssinia.
The Bourse was heavy. A coming loan is more
talked of than ever. Assuming it to be true that
*the government by borrowing from the Bank of
Prance can postpone an appeal to public credit for
some time, such a measure would be considered as
proving the inevitable necessity of a loan. The
Rente fell sc. for cash and 12ic. for account, closing
at 68fr. 85c. and 68fr. 75c. Italian, which was
affected by rumours of a tax upon the dividends,
which many would regard aa confiscation, fell 30c.,
closing at 42fr. 25c. ; Credit Fonder fell 2fr. 50c. ;

At the re-union of the Williams College
Aseociation at Boston, on the evening of New-years Day,
the following letter was read from the veteran post,
