When the intelligence of the death of Dn
FRANKLIN reached Paris, MInAnEAu rose in
his place in the National Assembly and delivered
the following noble address. 1t is one of the
richest specimens of true cloquencc we have ever
seen-the homage of true orator to the memory
OF departed greatness.
"FRANKLIN is dead. The genius that
freed America, and poured food OF
light over Europe, has returned to the
bosom of the Divinity.
"The sage whom two worlds claim as
their own, the man for whom the history
Of science and the history of empires con-
tend with each other held without doubt,
high rank in the human race.
"Too long have political cabinets taken
formal note of the death of those who
were great only in their funeral panegy-
RIGS. Too long has the etiquette of courts
prescribed hypocritical mourning. Ma
tons should wear mourning only for their
benefactors. The representatives of ma
tons should recommend to their homage
none but the heroes of humanity.
"The Congress has ordained through
out the United States mourning of one
month for the death of Franklin ; and,
at this moment, America is paying this
tribute of veneration and gratitude to one
of the fathers of the Constitution.
"Would it not become us, gentlemen,
to join in this religious act, to bear part
in this homage, rendered in the face Of
the world, both to the rights of man and
10 the philosopher who has most contri-
butcd to extend their sway over the earth
Antiquity would have raised affairs to this
mighty genius, who, to the advantage of
mankind, comprising in his mind the
heavens and the earth, was able to re-
strain alike thunderbolts and tyrants.
Europe, enlightened and free, owes at
least token of remembrance and regret
to one of the greatest men who have ever
been engaged i'll the service of philosophy
and of liberty.
81 propose that it be declared, that the
National Assembly, during three days,
shall wear mourning for BENJAMIN FRANK
LIN"

From the Boston Post.



Up at the west end of the city there is
a good-natured, fun-lnaking negro, named
Parsis, who hovers round the grocery
stores in that neighborhood rather more
than is desirable. Like many other gen
tlemcn of color, he prides himself upon
the thickness of his skull. and he is al
ways up for bet upon his bulting pow
ers and well he may be, for his head is
hard enough for battering ram. The
other day he made bet in a store that
he could butt in the head of Il flour bar
rel, and he succeeded. lie then lookup
bet TO drive it through very large
cheese, which was to be covered with a
crash cloth, to keep his wool clear of
cheese crumbs. The cheese thus enyel-
Oped, was placed in a proper position,
and Parsis, starting off like locomotive,
buried his head up to his ears in the in
wiling target. Parsis now began to feel
himself irresistible, and talked up "purty
considerable" A plan, however, was
soon contrivcd to take the conceit out of
him. There being some grindstones IN
the store for sale, one of them was pri-
vately taken up, and wrapped up in the
same manner as the cheese had been, and
looked precisely as if it were a second
cheese, and Parsis readily took another
bet for ninepence, that lie would butt his
head through it as easy as he sent i,
through the first. The interest Of the
spectators in the operation became in
tense. Every thing was carefully ad-
justed, and upon the word being given,
Parsis darted off like an arrow at the am
pushed grindstone; he struck it fair in
the centre, and the next instant lay spraw-
ling in the middle of the floor, upon
which he recoied. For some minutes
he laid speeches., and then he raised
himself slowly upon his knees, and
scratching his head, said with a squirm-
ing face-"Dam hard cheese, dat, massa.

Another Feature of the AbomiunbIc Di,,ri-
button Bill.

The distribution bill which has passed
the house of representatives, lin Con-
gress,) provides that no person ,cho is
mol citizen can acquire pre-emption
rights on the public domain. The en-
terprising stranger from a foreign country
must remain fire gears, before he can
oarn a foot Of land, or become free
man! This is whigcry! This is the
very spirit of the alien law of the elder
Adams
We are proud TO know that euery DEM
ocrat voted against bill containing pro-
visions so infamous. The country will
sustain them. We know of no terms
strong enough TO express our Indignation
at the action of the wing leaders on this
subject. They shut out the cnterprising
pioneer; they shut out the alien; in
short, they reduce pre-emption rights to
nothing. Who are friendly to the sett-
lers of the west! Is it wing admin
stration, sustaining the infamous distri
button bill Let the people answer
