The Paris correspondent Of the n. York
Herald thus chronicles the advent Of beau
tiful American woman in the gay French
capitol
Quite an enleatte recently took place on the
Boulevards, at the corner Of the Rue dc
Choiseuil, occasioned by the appearance, in
recherche costume, of the most magnificent
lady ever seen in our city, which, soft DIT en-
PEASANT, is nevertheless renowned for beauty.
This young fairy had arrived on the proceed
ing day from the United States, her country,
and stopped atthe Hotel DIES Italiens. Her
husband, with courteous eagerness, had call
ed upon the milliners and dress-makers, and
furnished her with the newest fashionable ar
ticles; also, when she appeared outside the
doors Of her hotel, her own beauty, so we'll
adorned with the dnfreluches Of the toilette,
attracted the eyes of all those who passed by
her In ouemoment, she was surrounded by
crowd, who, in the most gallant style, ut
tered three hurrahs to her honor As mat
ter of course, when the cause of the enthu-
siasln was explained, Mr. and Mime - q
am begged not to mention their name return
ed into the hotel, and thought they would
soon be free from the ovation Alas for
about three hours the crowd was standing in
| front of the door, and Mrs. was Obliged
to postpone her visits in Paris I am told
that she has taken the resolution to wear a
thick veil on her face in order to avoid anoth-

The Three Assemblies.
In whatever else the three bodies which
bear. the Presbyterian name may difFer-as
Old School, New School, and Cumberland
Presbyterians--it is not a little remarkable
that in the late action of their General As
semblies on the vexed question" Of the day,
they have. substantially agreed. In 1915,
the Old School General Assembly distinctly
avowed and re-asserted the principle on which
from the beginning they hadactcd-that they
would not make the simple act Of holding
slaves bar to communion. This drew down
upon them the odium and the malediction of
the over-righteous from every quarter. But
how stands the matter now? Instead of re-
proach for that decision, there is new appro-
val of it by both the other. Assemblies of the
same family. name, In neither Of them is
slaveholding made term of communion; in
neither is eoen the agitation Of the question
anyfurthcroppropcd' Althoughithas been
supposed that in the New School Assembly
there was a portion of fanatical leaven, by
which the whole body might for years bekept
in state high fermentation; yet even in this
respect there has come change. A mem
Der of that body from Kentucky assures his
friends that the members from the North
seemeda as much opposed to any further agita-
ton as those from the South-all seemed to
feel that there were other and paramount in
tercsts claiming the attention of the church
No previous Assembly for years has spent SC
little time in discussing this question, and by
an overwhelming majority they voted against
taking any further action on the subject.
The same is true, also of the Cumberland
Assembly (which metat Plttsburg. After de
ploring the evil of agitating the church courts
with this subject, they adopted the following
resolutions
Resolced, That inasmuch as the Cumber
land Presbyterian Church was originally or
ganised, and has ever since existed and pros
pered under the conceded principle that slave
nv was not, and should not be bar of com
munion: we therefore believe that it shoul'
not now be so regarded.
} Rcso7ced, That having entire confidence
the honesty and sincerity f the memorialists
and cherishing the tendercst regard for thoi
, feelings and opinions, it is the conviction {
the General Assembly, that the agitation {
! the question, which has already torn in sur

ductive of no real benefit to either master {

BG~Mr. Bullitt, one of the editors of the
New Orleans Picayune, is now in Europe.
The following extracts from one of his let
tiers from London. lie says:
We had heard and read 50 much of the
large class Of persons who, in this country,
are stepped in poverty to the lips, that it is
with some surprise that we constantly meet,
throughout the length and breadth Of this I'M

well-to-do looking men, women and children,
and so few of what can bcreally called, with
out exaggeration, poor pcople-destitute and
suffering persons. We have seen, too, so
few individuals in mourning Do they new

Gel. Fremont in California.

A Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald, writing from the capital under
date of the 9th inst, says that Col. Fremont
will remain in California till next winter
At the last advices he was at Ciudad de Los
Angeles, while his family were at San Fran
cisco, some five hundred miles further up the
coast. His immense land claim has been dis
posed of. The estate, or rather district of
country embraced in this claim, lies in the
gold region; and besides its rich mineral
wealth, is said to be highly productive in az
ricultural products. The agent Of Fremont
has disposed of his claim of forty-fve thou
sand acres of gold washings, mines and ara
bic lands to London company, for some So
per acre, or an aggregate Of nearly one mill
ion of dollars, and this in the face of the al
legged insuffciency of Fremont's title, and Of
the Board of Commissioners who have to
pass upon it. The sale is subject to the rati-
ffcation Of Fremont, Of which there is no rea-
son to doubt.
One object in disposing of his lands is to
get rid of the trouble of their management,
50 that the owner may turn his attention more
directly to the completion of his geography
of the United States, between the Rocky
Mountains and the Pacific, portion Of the
continent which, until his explorations in
/ 1843-'4-'5, was as much a terra incognito

The Spanish Government prohibits free

Such criminal proceedings, such violent
