PARTISAN STATIsTIcs.-We find the following fig
ures in the Partisan correspondence the New ork
Tribune and regard them somewhat interesting
Thu number OF corpses exposed in la Morgue is a
singular item:
The population of Paris within the BARRIERS in
1851 was 1854 263, or six hundred less than in
1916 This want of increase is accounted for by
the Troubles of 1848-by the killed. exiled and vol
untarv emigrants of that and the following years.
The population of the city at the present time can
not be rated at less than 100000. In 1851 there
were born 80, 1874 children, of whom 16,349 were
males, and 1878 females 6.265 of them were born
in the hospitals 10.635 were iIlegitmate, of whom
O54 have been recognized bv their parents 2.3l9
were stl-born. The whole number ofdeaths in the
same period was 1885, of whom l0O2G took place
at the hospitals; 325 cOrpSes were exposed at the
Morgue-( these last drawn from Seine, found
in the streets, and otherwise-One was lately borne
thither in his fancy dress from masked ball at the
opera--and delivered to friends or relatives when
claimed y l25 died in prison; 5 were guillotined--
The account of births and deaths balances follows:
Excess of births over deaths, 4739 of males
over females, 5G3. The number of marriages was
TO- 233. among the parties to which were 21Il wId-
ows and vidowers which speaks we'll for the agree

The pror ortion, throughout France OF natural to
legitimate birth, is as to thirteen-much less

pean countries.
THE CAInRIc SHIp.-The Scientific American says
that has not seen solitary scientific argument pre-
scented by the hot air advocates IN favor OF as SUI
peror substitute for seam and is convinced that they
arc ali deficient in scientific knowledge. Hot air can
certainly be used as motive power, but the most I'M

Louis Napoleon-The New York Courier
and Inquirer thinks the world has been greatly
mistaken in the character of Louis Napoleon,
and that the world is beginning to find it out
In the course Of its remarks, the Courier says:
1t so happened, that when in the winter of
1886 he landed in this city from Brazil where
he had been exiled by Louis Philippe, we were
the first acquaintance he made in the country:
and his first evening in the United States was
spent at our table, in company with Gen. Scott
and other guests. This circumstance was the
cause of our seeing much of him while in this
country, and we subsequently saw great deal
of him in London. The result of our inter>
course was conviction that he was man of
far greater talent than the world gave him cred
it for, and that considering the peculiar charac-
ter of the French people, it was impossible to
predict his future. There was one man in Eng
land, however, who foresaw and predicted the
future of Louis Napoleon; and that man was
the late Sir Robert Peel. He saw more of the
exile than any Of the statesmen of England; and
he not only declared him to be man of extraor-
dnary talent, but boldly predicted that if he
lived, ''he would inevitably be at the head of
the French nation"

DeSpotiSm Rampant in America,-We bav

Despotism Rampant in America.-We have
two despotism in this free country. There is
the absolutism Of woman over man, and there
is the tyranny of fashion over women. The
first is of the nature of mixed despotsm. The
most imperious fair one can occasionally be
wheedled, or flattered, or beguiled into letting
a husband have his own way. But the tyranny
of fashion is thorough, pitess, unrelaxng-
No coquette was ever half so cruel to an adorer
as fashion is to the coquette. No belle is as
whimsical as fashion. No sighted beauty can
be as relentless in the hour of her fancied as
cendancy, as fashion at her annual return to
power. 1t is told, that wheu certain Persian
monarch limped, all his courtres limped in har-
mony. So fashion can do nothing so absurd
but that her subjects will intimate it. This
winter she prescribes flowing sleeves, and every
woman shivers from wrist to elbow She de-
mands an open bodice, and lace chimisettes
come up. Just as few years ago, she order
ed tight sleeves for thin fat arms irrespective
ly; or as, a few years hence, she will decree
dresses cut high in the throat whether the
throat is ugly or pretty, perhaps whether there
is any throat at all.-PhI. BuL

CuAirate Largeness Of SouL-SeIishness is
too common in onr world. We do not feel
that our neighbor has claim upon US, and we
have claim upon him. We are all sensitive
enough about our own interests, but blind to
those Of others; and five all knew and felt the
mutual relationship by which society is inter-
woven together, and could recognize the near
ness of interest which exists between us, hu-
man society would be unlike what it is at pre-
sent. BE generous to all around you; the eX
ample will have a reflex power, and at some fu-
ture time it may tell powerfully upon your life.
Let the influence of your whole soul be felt in
favor of a noble benefcence-deal justly, but
when occasion offers do not be backward to
assist the deserving. 1t matters not that you
have never received such assistance--it would
have been like water to your thirsty soul; and
when it is in your power give it to another
Your good deeds NAV tell on coming genera
ton. The man and woman who tossed cops
pers to the poor singing student in the streets
of Erfur, had little thought they were aiding
him who should be the agent in sending thun-
derbolt into the Vatican camp which would
shiver the foundations of the Papal throne, and
rend the sight of despotsm and gloom. When
a faithful Sunday School teacher invited the
ragged Sabbath breaker into the doors of the
Sunday School, and gave him decent garments,
he little thought that he was laying the train by
which the millions in China would receive the
Bible through the hands of Morrison. And
when George House, of whom Franklin speaks
in his personal narrative, brought the "country-
man with his five shilings," he knew not that
the printer was only the early deyelopement Of
one of the greatest philosophers of modern
times. Be nobe-be generous--and you may
live to know that you have cheered another
Franklin, and multiplied your influence as did
George House, in his hands; for as Franklin OBJ
serves, the gratitude he felt towards House, Of
ten made him more ready than perhaps he
would otherwise have been to assist young be-
yinners.

names of American vessels. Now, the idea
conveyed in the name of new ship is speed
such as White SquaI, Whrlwind, Wild Pi-

Storm, &c. What leading idea the Amster-
damers had one can hardly gather from the

Railroad Speed.-Speaking of speed, said a
wag. the other day, Il reckon they travel some
on Hudson River Railroad. stepped into the
car at Albany, got fairly seated at Hudson,
lighted my segar at Poughkeepsie, spit out of
the window at Peekskill, and hit man at Sing
Sing. The telegraph poles looked like close
picket fence, and on going to the end of the
train, found we had a rope-walk and ten
pin alley in tow, each filled with brick; both
stuck straight out like tail of kite, without
touching the track, and were used merely to
steady the cars"

The Spirit-Rapping Dezusion.-It is worthy
of remark, in connection with the spirit-rapping
delusion, that men and women who are skeptcs
regarding the genuineness and authenticity of
divine revelations readily yield belief to the
Spiritual Communications" of the "Rappers. y
In this day, as in the days when the Apostle
Paul wrote his epistle to the Romans, it can be
said of many. "Professing themselves to be
wise, they became fools" Greater fools than
those who seek information from the :sundis-
covered world' through "spirit mediums" do
not exist. The seekers for the Kidd treasure
were wise in comparison.
But this "Spirit Rarping" business has fur
nished valuable proof that man cannot become
thoroughly infidel. He may say that he does
not believe in God, or in future state. but
his actions will belle his words 1t is not over
minds imbued with pure Christian faith that the
rapping imposture obtains Influence but rather
over minds that have been struggling to repu-
diate the truths of divine revelation, as incon-
sistent with the light of reason.
Now it mil ght have salutary effect, if the
"strong- minded" men and women who reject
Gods revelation as "cuuningIy devised fables"
and their belief, as disbonorng to enlightened
reason, would seriously ask themselves whether
more sound, rational and improving instruction,
may not be obtained by careful reading and
study of the Bible, than by running after the
spirits who attend at the bidding of
persons of very questionable character, to rap
out the most ludicrous and lying information
regarding the spirit-world and its inhabitants
