GENEVA, March 20.--That the difference With
France was regarded quite as much as 4 ouss,iou
of the internal policy of the foreign relations
Switzerland, IL proved by the nature Of he con-
troversy that survives It's settlement Berne and
the Central Power, against Geneva and cantonaI
independence, are the powers still cona;c,;ns
The refugees have been abandoned with tolerabIs
readiness by both parties, but the question ~
rights and jurisdictions raised in reference 10 them
seems likely TO continue. The dispute did not
turn by any means so much on whether thew
should be expeedor not on the demand Of France
as on which power-the central or the Local
should expe them. Even now that most < Them
are gone, and that it is quite certain any number
which may be hereafter demanded will be as
readily expelled, the question as to where the
power of expulsion lies, is still debated. lFhe
organ OF the federal council acknowledges that
the Genevese government has "done its duty' in
the matter of the refugees in manner that has
mot compromised the confederation !" that, as 10
the French demand, it showed no wish, much lesa
disposition, to resist it, cit is not the Roreion
power that has to complain Of Geneva, but the fed
eral government:''-C London Times.

OCULAR Commemorative well known that
The Old Mems Democratic committee, and the
Young Mems Democratic committee of New
York, are somewhat in rivalry. On the FIRST Of
April, they took advantage of the day TO let fly
joke, each at the expense Of the other. In
order TO bit the Presidential candidate of Young
America, the elder sodaity gravelv resolved
that they desired the nomination Of Gen. Cass !
In order TO rebuke the supposed aspirations of
their seniors, for an available candidate, in a
different section of the Union, the young ones
resolved, with the same gravity that hey adhered
with fidelity TO the cause Of Cen Cassl
We hear that after the preparation Of the
hoaxes, the parties met ut Tammany, mutually
informed each Of the joke at the others expense,
and mutually acknowledged themselves sold"
What we object 10 In this interchange Of
April fooleries, is the making use Of the name
Of innocent third parties.--Albany Atlas,

AUTHoRsHIP.--A very accomplished young
lady, residing with her father in the country
who was reduced in circumstances, about q
year since, made up her mind that she must do one
of two things. work as a seamstress, or become
an author, She preferred the latter, and COM
posed little work which had only partial sue
ces but she gathered courage even from that.
Her second work, The Wide, Wide World, y
was produced, and placed in the hands of the
publisher, who gave her, conditionally, a very
liberal contract; but the sale waa slow for some
months, and loss appeared inevitable. Sud.
denly, however, public opinion decided in favor
of the work, and Mr.. Putnam has had the hap
piness of disposing of 10000 copies, and paying
over to the clever and intelligent authoress sew
eral thousand dollars. Her third work is now

The fire originated in the fourth story, and
so suddenly did the flames come upon the in
mates, that woman-before the fremen could
reach her, and in order, as she no doubt sup
posed, TO save herself from the devouring ele-
ment-Junped from one of the fifth h-story win
dows, and was forced through tin rooted
awning on TO the side walk. Her name We
were unable 10 ascertain, but we learn she has
since died. A young man escaped from the

leader; and an old man, between sixty and
seventy years of age, was taken fro m the
fourth story by the firemen, and thus snatched
from impending destruction. 1t is said great
number of boarders were in the house al The
