CoLoRED MEN IN PARIs.-Rob't Walsh,
in one Of his letters 10 Li,tell's Living
Age, writes:
Our French paragraphists are not par
ticularly struck with the capacity of the
negro race TO maintain republican institu-
tions, as is exemplified in the monopoly of
the products Of the soil, and Of all traffic,
internal and external by the government
of Hayti. The black mantle true ebo-
ny-in the delegation of the Antilles, who
sits in the centre Of the Montaguards in
the Assembly, was the servant Of white
general resident in the capital. An init
mate acquaintance Of the master told me,
few days ago, that the representative had
not resigned his domestic post, whether
from personal attachment or prudential
motives, he would deserve credit for Ell
Their.
A gentleman of New Orleans, on visit
to Paris, relates TO me that, about fort
night since, while seated in side box Of
the first tiers Of the grand opera, he dis
tinguished colored family in the one i'm
mediately opposite; by his opera glass he
discovered that the head Of it, whom he
recognized, distinguished him, and was
about to come round TO him by the lobby.
A feeling natural to Southern American
induced him TO prefer that the meeting
should not be in the box which he occupi-
ed. He met the visitor in the lobby; the
latter grasped his hand, and reminded him
that he had been his tailor in New Or
leans. 81 RETIRED" he added, "with a
good property; we are well settled here ;
that's my box, once week; we shall be
happy to see you at our apartments

Evening Sketch a. sault St Marie,


ny A. w. BACON.
The drum has beat-the bugle's note
Ger Brady's walls has died away;
The soldier HES him to his cot,
And leaves the world alone to me.
Now fades the SUMS last ray oflght,
Which DER Superior's waters lay,
Bids Natures children all good night,
Takes the last look, aud closes day. t..
flushed is the scene, the air is still,
Save where st Marie's cataract roars;
Save that the seaman's whistle shrill,
Echoes from where his shallop moors.
Save that some lonely fishers bark,
With measured accent seeks the shore;
And o'er the wide, deep waters dark,
His boat song tallies with his oar.
The moon as If unf.iendly too, -.
Withdraws his crescents feeble light,
Extinguishes her silvery bow
In low damp clouds of Western night.
All, all is fled, save from afar,
From fields Of Southern blue,
Shines forth one lovely cheering star,
Forever, oh; forever true.
Oh, thus when age shall bare my head,
Or mortal sickness waste my frame,
May some kind eye watch DER my bed,
Some plying friend with me remain.
And when this struggling spirips fled, tE
And meath the turf this frame shall be,
When am numbered with the dead,
Then, then, sweet star, shine over me.

Eppes the .Nurdrer.-A writer in Phil
adelphia paper-one who knew the Vir-
ginia murderer, nod his victim, gave the
following terrible particulars Of the tag
edy:
"Eppes and Muir were neighbors and
friends, occupying the highest position in
society. The latter was young man full
Of promise and hope, handsome and ac-
complished, and was about to offer his
hand and heart to the lovely daughter Of
his destroyer. He held bond against
Eppes for few hundred dollars, and was
on visit to collect the amount, at the re.
quest Of Eppes, who signiiied his wish to
pay it. AT this visit, Eppes proposed a
ride and hunt for deer for an hour or
two, and then return to dinner. This was
agreed TO and when separated for few
moments in quiet and secluded spot, the
fatal shot was given.
When Muir fell, Eppes approached him,
and found him living and under the i'm
preston that the shot was accidental. But
seeing Eppes deliberately reloading his
gun, he became alarmed, and inquired if
he intended to kill him. Eppes replied
he did. He told Eppes that if it was mon
ey that he desired, he might have the
bond-only spare his life. He then pull
led off his watch, handed it to Eppe<, with
reqest TO give it TO his sister, and pre-
pared for his approaching end.
1t was then that Muir summoned him to
meet him at the bar Of God, as alluded to
in confession. Eppes stood BY calmly
listening TO his appeals, and with the heart
of a demon. delihs srtely shot him again,
and plundered him OF the bond and valua-
bles about his person. This fatal watch,
accustomed TO noie the heeting hours of
time, disclosed The awful deed. 1t was
found few days after at jewellers
shop in Petersburg, where it had been sold
by the murderer.

The GENUS OF THE PRESS.

Canst thou send lightning, that they may go, an

The potent GENIUS moved sublime,
Where Moral night her car had driven
Along the centured Course Of time;
Save here and there misty ray 1s*
That twinkled fourth the houndless cope,
The mental skies in darkness lay,
And slept beneath the cherub Hope.
Midway the Spirit stayed his flight,
Where sev'nfold gloom inv olved the sphere
Reversed the wheels of Moral Night,
And chaficd the Demon charioteer, @
He called!-From out the sulen vast
The Intellectual Lightnings came
Swift to their mighty Master passed,
And stood reve aled in Tongues of fame.
They bow their hohage-.Here we arer'
AS unto each he gave command
These to illume the isles afar, @H -&saas
And those to light the broader land, s 81
Then broke the Day SO long confined as. s.s
Beneath the Night of Moral gloom,
And warmed to life and bloom the Mind,
AS Spring awakcs from Winters tomb.

Winged like the four -faced Cherubim,
To guide the car Of MORAL DAY. -.ss@s

stand and made a personal assault upon
Col, Davies, and atternpted"tp discredit his
statements. To this, very properly, no at
~tention was paid, and he concluded by say
ing he entered his protest 10 opposition to
any resolutions against Benton that might
be passed. 49,.
Judge Hunt, of Pike, was then called for.
amid some excitement, and on being invited
by the chair, came forward, as he said,
merely to show himself, and to be asked to
be excused, as he was no politician, no
stump speaker, and no special advocate Of
Col. Benton. He made some further spor-
tive and testing remarks, that put the meet
ing aud himself in an excellent humor, un-
der the happy influence Of which the Judge,
forgetting his apology, went on to make a
long speech, Of a rather unique and pecu-
liar character, to which it would be difficult
to assign a "locsl habitation and a name"
The only definite ideas we could gather
from it were, a denial of the right Of in
struction, and a disapproval of the resolu-
tons of the last legislature as inconsistent
and contradictory. The desert of the
Judges entertainment was at the beginning
from being sharp and agreeable, he be-
came dull and uninteresting. At the con-
%clusion of his speech, Col. Richmond, Of
this city, was called up, but the lateness Of
the hour prevented his making aspeech, and
he contented himself with a few pointed
and forcibls remarks in reply to Judge
Hunts argument against the democratic
doctrine of the right of instruction.
The meeting then closed, by the passage
of the resolutions in the manner we have
described. This meeting cannot but be re-
garded as giving a fair and full expression
to the will and sentiments of the democrat
ic party of Rails county. She stands side
by side with her sister counties Of the north
east in condemnation of the imperious con-
duct & inconsistent, anti-democratic course
of Senator Benton.
