ON the motion of General BUTLER, the House of

lepresentatives has passed, by 172 to 21, a
"That the Congress of the United
dates, in the name and on behalf of the
people thereof, ch give O'DONOVAN Rossa
and the Irish exiles and patriots a cordial welcome
to the capital and the country." Nobody much
minds the freaks in which the House of Representa-
tives at Washington may indulge. It is always given
to eccentricity, especially when a favourable oppor-
tunity of insulting England presents itself ; but hap-
pily in important matters it is usually set right by the
more powerful and more respectable Senate. However, if
we find it disagreeable to have Fenian convicts wel-

.esolu don,

..... _ ...
corned in the name of the United States, if it is unplea-
sant to find O'DoNovAN ROSSA occupying in America
the position of a KOSCIUSKO or a WILLIAM
TELL, it is fair to admit that our
own 'Government has done something to

foster the delusion. It was not sufficient to give
these gentlemen a free passage to a land where they
will enjoy every opportunity of hatching more con-
spiracy. They were sent first-class, had a choice of
an outfit each, and were presented with a nice
little douceur in money. Off Queenstown the
steamer waited for them to receive more money, and
addresses from their exultant countrymen. If the
American Legislature has given these heroes a recep-
tion proportionate to the high place they hold
in the esteem of the British Government,

the only wonder is that the House of
Representatives should have decided upon paying us
such a compliment, Such treatment of released con-
victs was certainly never heard of before. If the
Government has determined to make a great advance
on the barbarous practice of former times, to consider
the ov.erthrow of the British Empire a laudable under-
taking, and rebellion on the whole the safest and most
profitable business going, it may as well inform
Parliament to that effect. Judged in an unofficial
light, the treatment of these convicts appears an
incomprehensible mistake.

TOPICS OF THIS' DAY.

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.

On the authority of the Times, we learn that the
re-embodiment of the Irish Militia will form part of
the Ministerial proposals for a new scheme of Army
_Reform. If this be so, Ireland will probably be
mentioned in two paragraphs of the Queen's Speech,
the second allusion being devoted to the question of
Irish Education. The Scotch Education Bill will also,
it is understood, be referred to in the Speech from
the Throne, and it is more than likely that the
approaching Royal marriage will afford to Scotland
the honour of being the first of her Majesty's Eng-
lish dominions spoken of in the address of February
9th. Among other topics likely to find a place in
the Queen's Speech are notices of bills for esta-
blishing vote by Ballot and for abolishing Univer-
sity Tests; Mr. Bruce's bills for the licensing
system and the regulation of mines ; the necessity of
measures for dealing with corrupt practices at elec-
tions, and for altering thorouglhy the general system
of municipal elections.

MR. PECHTER AT BOSTON.

Mr. Fechter, the actor, has, it appears, been
winning golden coins, but not golden opinions,
in Boston, U.S. He has for about four or five
months been manager of the Globe Theate,
and he finished his term with a compliment-
ary benefit, which was an unprecedented
success. Tickets on the day itself coul I
only be obtained for standing room, and there were
many hundreds who could not be supplied with even
there. The hero of the evening was .greeted with
enthu.-iastic applause when he made his first appear-
ance, and at the end of every act a fresh ovation
was paid him. The performances went oil' bril-
liantly, though an awkward incident caused
a momentary alarm. In the drama of " Ruy Bias"
Mr. Feebler had to descend two or three steps at the
rear of the stage into the Council Chamber, and as
he stepped upon the lower stair he suddenly fell
heavily. Actors and audience looked at him in
horror; some thought he had fainted, some that he
had gone into a fit, others that he was not too
sober! The reason of the disaster is not
explained ; but his fellow actors went to
his assistance, and set him on his feet,
when the play went on all right; so there was evi-
dently no ground for uneasiness. Flowers were
thrown to Miss Leclerq and Mr. Fechter at the end
of the act; a pearl necklace for the one, and pearl
sleeve buttons for the other, being concealed
in a basket. It was hoped that Slr. Fechter
would make some remarks about the difficulties
and differences at the theatre, but he made
none. Some " roughs " were present who
had intended to get up a disturbance, but luckily
they failed. Mr. Fechter, says the New York Herald,
has, during the sixteen or eighteen weeks he has been
in Boston, taken the comfortable salary of 1,800
dollars every Monday morning in gold,
while his benefit cleared him 3,000 dollars. He
leaves many admirers of his abilities behind, but few
who will remember him personally with other feelings
than those of genuine and. hearty contempt. The
Boston Advertiser, however, says that, independently
'of all questions raised by professional jealousy and
stage etiquette, Mr. Fechter's departure from their
city is a matter for general regret.

HUNGERING OUT PARIS.

It appears that the food resources in Paris have
been drained dangerously close to the traditional
last biscuit—so close as to necessitate imme-
diate assistance from without. There were two
reasons for thus putting off the evil day to the very
last moment. The Govenment naturally wished to
give the provincial armies every chance, and it de-
sired moreover to paralyse the turbulence of the
Redo. This latter important object has been fully
attained. Even Reds cannot fight with empty
stomachs. In the early part of last week suspicions
that a surrender was being negotiated caused terrible
agitation ; but by the end of the week it became
evident that an &mute would end in starvation.
The extreme agitators were utterly dependent upon
the Government and the Germans for a daily supply
of food.

Power to walk. Two of the cows, moreover, were
described by veterinary surgeons to be in a dying
state. Thela uildford magistrates, before whom the case
came, elicited the fact that the owner of the farm
was an absentee, and. that he entrusted its care to a
man named fetcher. It was proved, however, that,
although the owner had been written to, he had only
on one or two occasions ordered a fresh supply of
food to be sent to the animals, and then only in
small quantities. The bench, therefore, convicted
time accused, fining him £b; and the chairman said
the badness of the case had caused the magistrates
at least to consider the propriety of sending the
defendant to prison.

to the Times have given all members of the Lower
House interested in the matter, full opportunities of
learning what will be the whole nature of Mr. Treve,l-
- attack. In his last letter the member for Hawick
says, " The reform and reorganisation of our army
is a business which cannot be undertaken except
under the favouring condition of the strongest national
excitement." It would seem, therefore, that Mr.
Trevelyan believes such a state of feeling exists with
respect to our forces at the present time. He urges
upon Mr. Cardwell the necessity of reforming the
army system as a whole. The Minister of War, he
declares, has popular force at his back which will
enable him to bear down opposition so long as
his band is armed with justice, energy, and
decision, and there is much to be said, he contends,
for not attempting to reform such a system as ours
in parts. Trevelyan discountenances the office
of Commander-in-Chief, and declares that the best
administrative system would be one under which
the War Minister would be advised in purely mili-
tary matters by an officer, who residing in Lon-
, don, should be called by the modest title of
Adjutant-General or Military Secretary.

THE PROVISIONING OF PARIS.

The Memorial de Lille says, at the request of the
Merchants at Lille the railway administration had
asked at Versailles whether the direct line to Paris
by Amiens would be promptly re-opened. Count
tismarck replied immediately, on Monday, as
follows :

"In order not to lose time I inform you that, the
direct lines being interrupted, to re-establish them
will require some days. The line by Dieppe can
alone be used to Paris. It will, therefore, be neces-
sary to send by sea to Dieppe, with an indication
that the goods are to be forwarded as quickly as
Possible. Paris for some days can only be victualled
by German provisions."
London, England, 1871-02-08

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

DI. THIERS AND THE REPUBLIC.
M. Thiers seems to have opened his mind very
plainly to a correspon lent of the Daily News. This
journalist was sitting in the office of one of M. Gam-

betta's secretaries, where several other persons were.
M. Thiers expressed unreservedly his disgust with
Trochu and the other members of the Paris Govern-
ment. They wasted food at the beginning of the
siege, neglected to fortify some most important posi-
tions, and their sorties were very feeble. M. Gambetta's
Secretary then sail to M. Thiers :—" I have watched
your literary and political career for forty years and
the saying of yours which I most admire is that of
1849, ' The Republic is the government which divides
us the least.' Allow me to ask whether, under
existing circumstances, you- are willing to repeat that ,
dictum." Without a moment's hesitation M. Thiers
vehemently replied, " I do; I am not now an Orleanist ;
I go in frankly for the Republic, and it would have
been better for you if your Government had been
more decidedly Republican from the beginning. k
great many Orleanists have been trafficking with
Prussia. I em as')arned of them and repudiate them."
This is a very important statement, and ought to do
much for the Republic.

SPA.—In a valley near the frontiers of Prussia lies,
half hidden by foliage and hills, one of the prettiest little towns
on the Continent; and although it only boasts of some five
thousand inhabitants, it is the gem of Belgium, and the fashion-
able resort of its notabilities; and not of them only, for when
the season is at its height, titled and distinguished visitors
crowd every avenue and every rendezvous. Not only Princes of
petty States, ex-Potentates, or the Counts and Barons which
crop up so plentifully on a foreign soil, but the men of mark in
society ; the statesmen, warriors, and leaders of their respec-
tive countries. The great men of great Britain are amongst the
number, for they gladly brace up their faculties and re-invigorate
their systems at this health-restoring spot, after the fatigues of
Courts, Parliaments, and Sessions. The roulette-table has its
votaries, but the waters are more omnipotent still strongly
impregnated with iron, that, needful auxiliary in renovating
enfeebled constitutions ; and those who esteem the waters too
nauseous are glad to meet with that delicious substitute—the
" Elixir de Spa." This holds high rank as a table liqueur,
possesses a delicate perfume and exquisite flavour, and being
distilled from the flowers and plants of the district, is at the
same time greatly prized for its tonic, digestive, and gently
stimulating qualities. The manufacture of this liqueur forms
the chief part of the staple trade of Spa, which may be said to
consist of the important Distillery of Messrs. Schaltin, Pierry,
and Cie, the inventors of the Elixir de Spa, and the manufac-
turers of ornaments in the pretty Spa wood. A "petit verre"
of the Elixir de Spa is the favourite prelude in Belgium to a
~dejetther ft la fourchette," in order to give zest to the appetite,
for which purpose it is equal in efficiency to the nauseous
absinthe ; and the burly Flemish burgomaster's admirable
dinners are usually capped with a wee glass of this invigorating
native cordial, which is universally pronounced to be the best of
Table Liqueurs. It may be obtained through your wine mer-
chant.—Wholesale DepOt —SCOTT BROTHERS, 8, Duke-street,

BOIJRBAKfS CAMPAIGN.

tnhtoer eDdetailed t accounts
Vil!ersexel,of thea and
d campaignmove
thirnotuhgeh I
East show how deplorably bad administration and
bad generalship spoiled an otherwise not unpromis-
ing plan. 143,000 men and 300 guns took part in
this ill-fated enterprise. The original scheme was
that three corps should advance from Dijon
along the right or northern bank of the River
Doubs in order to debouch in the plain in
rear of the German positions at Montb(Sliard and
Ildricourt, while a fourth corps—the 18th—was to
cross the
Villersexel. But Bourbaki, whose mind seemed
faltering throughout, changed the plan, and moved
all his forces to the northern bank of the Doubs,
where it was found impossible to march
such a large army, owing to the nature
of the ground, more rapidly than ten or eleven
miles a day. This pace was of itself sufficient to
ruin the campaign. Much time was afterwards
wasted; the tactical arrangements were bad ; the
supply of food was wretched ; and the public spirit
of tht, district through which the army passed de-
testably base. The horrors of the retreat have been
described. The army set out in the highest spirits,
and sank atterv.-ards to such a state of despondency,
that the men actually wished to be driven across the
frontier into Switzerland.
DIPLOMATIC LANGUAGE.

Count Bismarck has got into a terrible scrape in
connection with the armistice. The treaty was drawn
up in French, and it is complained at Berlin that this
was a decided irregularity, for conventions of the
kind are always written in the language •of the
conquerors. It appears, however, that there was a
sufficient excuse for this offence, for M. Favre does
not know German, and of course it was impossible to
conclude the convention with anybody else. To
make amends, however, the Count declares that he
has taken measures, which have proved successful,
to put an end to the exclusive use of the French
tongue in diplomatic intercourse. It may be
questioned whether any advantages will result
from the extension of this successful movement. The
German language is as good, probably, for diplomacy
as the French (for the elegance of the one is
counterbalanced by the wide scope of the
' other), and so, it may be added, is the English :
but there are special pleas on the side of the
French. It is established. It is moat widely
known. By a majority of important peoples in
Europe—English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese
—it is most easily learned, and in Russia French. is
almost as common as the vernacular. The ascen-
dancy of the French tongue does not necessarily
imply the ascendancy of the French people.

THE PARIS FORTS.

A correspondent of the Daily News says that the damage
to Fort Issy through the bombardment has been much
overrated. None of the casemates have been entered by
shells ; none of the magazines have been touched ; and
though several guns have been disabled, the greater part
of them could have been fired up to the last moment had
the French chosen to fire. There is a small breach in
the curtain of the southern front, just enough to indi-
cate what might have been done with time and
perseverance. As a whole, however, the fort is less
injured than most people at a distance had supposed.
Its guns can never have been silent from inability to fire.
Battered as Fort Issy was, it might have cost the Ger-
mans much trouble and loss to capture. Up to the
moment of its surrender, it may be said to have been im-
pregnable by a coup de main. Fort Vanves was even less
damaged than Fort Issy ; the barracks, though riddled
through and through, have escaped being burnt, and there
is no commencement of a breach in the curtain on the
south front.

PEACE WITHOUT TERRITORIAL CESSION.
The following important statement of facts is given in
one of the leaders of the Daily News :—Tho antagonism
which subsists between the Crown Prince of Prussia and
Count Bismarck is a matter of notoriety ; and on it some
sanguine persons base their hopes of a future for Ger-
many which will defeat some sinister omens in its past
and present. Heirs - apparent are, however, too
habitually in opposition to the advisers and the
policy of their fathers to make this divergence a very
stable ground of trust. It might be better to rely on the
concord between Count Bismarck and his future
Sovereign. On one notable occasion, and one only, they
are believed to have been in perfect agreement, and that
was after Sedan. Unless very precise and seemingly
authentic statements, which may one day see
the light, made by persons of European re-
putation and unstained character, upon first
hand information, are not merely mistakes of inference
and plausible conjectures, but rest upon hallucinations of
the senses of sight and bearing, the Crown Prince and
Count Bismarck joined in urging the immediate conclusion
of peace after the capitulation of Sedan ; and of a peace
which, whatever securities it might have taken on behalf
of Germany, would have left the territorial integrity
of France unimpaired. The pious and sensitive
King, to whom the horrors of war give such poignant
anguish, was, however, not to be persuaded. A superfi-
cial sensitiveness is often, indeed, no index of a really

FACTORY CHILDREN IN NEW YORK.

In New York great numbers of children are
employed in factories at an early age. This pro-
duces the most injurious effects on their health, but
general experience has shown that neither parents
nor manufacturers will forego the prac-
tice. An effort has been made to remedy
one evil that accrues from this system by
supplying the little workers with the means of edu-
cation. During the last few months the Children's
Aid Society has opened some new night schools in
the destitute portions of the city. It was very in-
teresting to notice the eagerness which was displayed
by the boys and girls of these night schools
to obtain information. Besides the factory
children those engaged in other occupations have
taken advantage of the opportunity thus afforded to
them. In the tobacco manufactories in New York
and Brooklyn the school agents found some children
only four years of age employed, others were eight, the
rest ranged from eight to fifteen. Nearly two thousand
children under fifteen are employed in the manufac-
ture of paper collars. The evil of children's employ-
ment has attained such a height that it
is considered necessary for the Legislature to inter-
fere in the matter, and apply some checks to its
progress. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Con-
necticut, have already provided laws to restrict the
employment of children, and means for their educa-
tion. It is high time for New York to follow their
example.

THE LAW COURTS.

Some calculations respecting the cost of the new
Law Courts are not flattering to our economising
Government. £BOO,OOO was laid out on the site,
between four and five years ago. The loss of interest
therefore amounts to some £20,000 a year, not
reckoning on the compound principle. The contract
for the excavation of the site has been taken for
£36,000; therefore, in less than a year and a half,
the interest would have paid for the whole of this
operation. If the work ha I been commenced
three months ago, 2,200 men could
have been employed during the whole of the
time at £1 a week each, by one year's interest.
It would be interesting to calculate how many cases
of relapsing fever, how fine practices on the part of
workhouse guardians, how many deaths from starva-
tion might have been prevente 1 by laying out this
sum on the howling wilderness which must be
cultivated sometime. Such a freak was before never
perpetrated by au economical Government. And at

REFUGES FOR HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE CHILDREN
and CHICHESTER TRAINING SHIP.--Upwards of 500 Boys and
Girls are now being supported in these Refuges and Ship.
Owing to the benevolent and praiseworthy exertions which

in the present War, the funds for the support of these Refuges
and Ship have decreased considerably.
An urgent appeal is therefore made for assistance to support
the inmates.
