QUESTION Having expressed ourselves very plain
~ says the Baltimore Times, - in regard some
OF the short comings of the Administration hereto
TORE We are but doing simple justice in recording our
admiration for the President and Cabinet on the Ne
braska question. They have come up nobly to the
sentiment of the nation, regardless of the howl OF
fanatics at the North and the threats of uas at the
South. However might have doubt ID the good
faith of the Cabinet and the nerve and intelligence
Of the President heretofore the course pursued on
this question testies that the harmony of the Union
the rights of the American people, and the preserva

gratifed TO know that such is the sentiment of the
conservative and national wings, men who, however
they may differ questions Of mere administration
and political economy, ready to award praise
where 1T is deserved. AS Southern men, we had our
fears in the hard and soft excitement. Oul
prejudces overcome, fears allayed, and the
straightforward, manly course of the Administration

The editor of the New York Times. in speaking
of the ntrigues of the = Fusonists," with view
to the reclamation of the throne of France, thinks
There is something very ludcrous in this claim
of hroneo of the sovereignty millions of peo-
pleas piece of family property. The remnants of
the Bourbon race, without exception, destitute of
talent incompetent to do anything for the welfare of
the human race, spend their useless lives in dr., n
ing about reganing the throne of France. rs some
thing which belongs to them by RICH: of birth-as
something bequeathed to them by their ancestors,
and of which they have been unjusty robbed
There's comfort IN thinking that the day for this
nonsense has nearly gone by. The doctrine of " Di-
vine right, as applied to hereditary monarchy, com
mands bnt little respect anywhere now a days. In
England it is regarded a harmless fiction, inter
woven into English law, and to be tolerated so long
it produces evil result to the people of Great
Britain. But it has slight hold upon the convic-
lions of the English at the present day. So long as
they have an amiabe, sensible Queen, who is wise
enough to leave Government to the House of Com
mons, and to ornamental fgure-head to
the ship of State, they will not disturb the tenure by
which she holds her place. But let such she-iger
as Queen Elizabeth again attempt to tyronze over
England or let obstinate, bigoted profgate again
seek to govern, in spite of Parliament, and Crom-
wells will be abundant than they were in the
seventeenth century,

The Home Journal, in pleasant homiIy upon "The
ways of Tailors' shows up of the tricks of the
trade.
"Taors must live; at least, they think so, and we
have objection. Yet they great tyrants, and
have ingenious ways OF torturing their victims One
way is this. They invent a fashion which is str-
kngly peculiar and get ii into vogue by various arts
best known to themselves; for example, gerry short
overcoats with long waists. which look well on men
like Count Rossi, whose figure is faultless. Their
next movement after everybody is overcoated for the
winter, is to bring out garment which differs as
much as possible from the in fashion that is an
overcoat with skirts to the heels, and waist under the
arm-pits, They get half dozen CT high fashion,
who look we'll in anything, to parade this new nven
ton in Broadway, and make the short-coated ma or
iy appear out of date The maneuvre succeeds, all
the dandes driven to the extravaganza of order
ing superfuous coat the tailors smile, and the dan
dies bleed, or their fathers do Some time ago, our
tailor tyrants put all into long wastcoats, and
sequently into combinations that just Tapped over
the hips. Suddenly the waistcoats abbreviated
four inches. What was theconsequence Why of
course, the combinations failed to connect;' and
he who would not exhibit to mankind broad belt of
white around his waist was compelled to discard all
his store of well saved un- nameables. And in vain
shall the oldest customer protest, and order garments
of the last fashion Consider my reputation, sir says
