GT-In walking through the streets of Paris,
one scarcely fails to be struck with the life, light
and animation which prevails everywhere, and
seem to pervade almost everybody and everything.
The traveller from murky London or anxious New
York, or stiff calculating skinny Boston, feels
himself to be in new atmosphere, and before he
is aware, he is hurried along with the living tide
of the Boulevards or Champs Elysees, a polite
and smiling gentleman-his own countenance so
frightened up with CHEEKY gladsomeness and
sunshine, that he would not know his own phiz if
suddenly confronted with mirror. Everywhere
there are birds, and songs, and flowers, and
smiles; at every turn there is such seeming I'M
affected courtesy and polite Difference, that the
most common person can scarce avoid coming to
the conclusion that he is somebody, and he re-
tires to his hotel with lighter and more salts

and places his head upon his pillow, we'll pleased

PHILIPPE, are all of flowers and sunshine. Being
a child of the sunny south, it seemed to him when
he first pitched his tent in Gotham, to wander no
more, because of family ties, that every man,
woman and child was going to funeral; glum
and mOnosyllables were the order of the day. II
sauntering in Union Park, he took seat on some
vacant bench, the very next conner moved on the
last two inches Of the utmost extremity, in three
cases out of four giving view of his back in
sixteen seconds more he would be making num-
berless gyratons with his cane or boot-toe on
the gravel walk if the bench happened to be on
the tagging, he would fix his eye on some spot
and spit at it by the quarter; no cheerful fitting
ever coming across that sad rejecting face even
for the briefest moment, as if there were not
thought or a sympathy for any human being
Why not give time to gold and time to gladness
too, and let each have its season? Be serious if
you please in Wall street, or behind the counter;
but in the car, omnibus, or park, or square, or
church, or promenade, let an inner joyousness
light up the countenance, and let the smile of
recognition of your brother man wake up new life
whenever the eye falls upon that brothers coun-
tenance: it will seldom fail to light up kindred
gladness there, self-perpetua,ing all along glor-
GUS old Broadway, from Union square to the Bat
terry; all of us would live the longer for it, and
what is more, live the happier. l move that no
vinegar cruet be allowed in Broadway until moon
down. What right has any man to come up to
me, without cause or provOcation, when l am
gladsomely strolling down town, with little Nell
and Molly, each holding on to a forefnger, to
turn my face into tamarind? They will see it
in a moment, and their little hearts will beat less
joyously until we get to the next candy shop
These little things, it is true, but the mass of
hnman enjoyment or sorrow is made up of these
self-same little things.-Journdlo of Health.

The HOMESTEAD BILL.-We are fearful that thi
bill has been so mauled by Southern Senators and
others, that Notwithstanding it has passed the
Senate, it will prove of but little benefit to man.
kind in general, should it receive the signature of
the President. Judging from its title, it is mere
abortion of what it should be, and we therefore
care but little if the President does veto it, al
though perhaps half a loaf of bread is better
than no bread at all. The opposition to the gen.
uine homestead bill has usually come from the
South, but at this session it generally under
stood that if Northern members would give their
influence for the passage of the Nebraska bill,
Southern members would give in their adhesion
to the bill for the homeless. The South, however,
fearful Of the extension of free labor, shut down
on the bill in the shape Of amendments, which
almost neutralizcd its original intentions the
true friends of the poor man relaxed their ener-
gies, and the consequence was, the mutlated bill
passed with but little opposition. We still enter
tain hopes that new bill will be passed at the
next session which will embrace all those prOvi
sions necessary to secure the rights of those who
till and develOpe the resources of the soil.

OUR VIEWS TINES AND THINGs.-Monopo-
lizers, rail road kings and greedy fnanciers are
beginning to fail. Merchants who have inud-
ciousy extended their business will follow suit.
Bankruptcy and panic are the order Of the dav
still, the country is safe-all the leading inter-
ests of the country are safe-all the prominent
pursuits arc healthy and prosperous. (railroad
speculatons always excepted) There is no great
crisis at hand. There is but one event and that
not very likely to take place, which would, in our
opinion, bring crisis and that event is the res
ion is that peace would make prosperity rebound
to this country. Our opinion is that peace is the
only thing that floor us.
Railroad building must stop-it is stopped,
and those who have invested in railroad securi-
ties must lose, but those who have run deeply in
debt in building railroads, must fail-everv one
of them. We are sorry, but we feel that we have
done our duty. For three years we have croaked,
isolated and alone, tits true, against railroad
bonds, railroad stock and railroad paper, in every
shipe-we have bo,red gentlemen out of our Office
for simply asking US to negotiate railroad loan
such has been our hydrOphobia that we have re-
peatedfy refused to have railroad bonds left in
our Office safe for safe keeping.
'Tis our fault to prophecy evil when the evil
is far off that nobody sees it, and now we proph-
ecy good, but it is so confoundedly dark that
nobody can see aught but evil. We say there is
no crisis at hand except isolated cases-there are
no cheap times at hand-the currency is expanded,
the specie basis is enlarged-it will be more ex-
panded and it will be more enlarged. Prosperity
to the leading interests of the country and to the
masses abounds: it will more abound, always
provided that the crowned heads of Europe keep
up the war. When they make peace, then stand
from under.-Thompson's Bank Note Detsctoy.

WASHINGTON, July 81


The Intelligencer Of this morning announces the
death on the Goth inst, of Gen. Nathan Towson,
Paymaster General of the United States Army.
The Union publishes the official ratification of
the treaty with the Sultan of Borneo.
There is some fear that the course of the House
may prolong the present session beyond the day
now fixed for adjournment. The Houses action
on some appropriations will have great deal Of
influence with the Senate, and many Senators are
anxiously on the watch. The consideration of
certain treaties will keep the Senate together some
time after the House adjourns.
An exciting scene occurred in a room in the
Census Bureau this afternoon, in consequence of
a young lady attempting to shoot one of the
clerks by the name of Kenser or Kersey.
Mr.. X. escaped unhurt from the room, but the
lady expressed determination to consummate
the deed and redress her grievances, and awaited
near the building until all the clerks had left
She alleges that matters connected with her hon.
