private letter from one Of our correspondents
now in Europe gives US the following information
PARIS, November 2, 1854.
On my arrival here find considerable excite.
nent about the SouIe affair. 1t seems that week
ago, as he was about to enter France from Eng.
and, he refused admittance, though bis pass.
port correct. He has been suspected for
some time by the French Government Of tamper.
ing with their politics. When here he was under
the surveillance Of the police, and it is thought
The government has discovered good grounds TOR
their present action. Both Mr.. Mason and Mr..
Buchanan have demanded Of the government, the
reasons Of their act, but no reply has We, been
made. The papers here and 10 London say that
the Government will refuse any explanation, but
| have the best authority for saying that reply
will be given IN the next two days, and to the e.
feet that nothing was intended disrespecu to the
American Government, but only against Mr..
Soule personally. | regret very much in my
travels that our government has lost much of her
dignity from the kind of men that the present ad.
ministration has sent abroad in many instances !;
and even here in Paris our minister, Mr.. Mason,
gentleman of we'll known worth and ability, is
not treated by the government with the respect he
is entitled TO. This is probably owing TO the fact
tha. all the Americans are suspected of sympa.
thising with Russia in the present war. Many OF
the papers, the English particularly, while profes.
sing to have the greatest wish 10 preserve peace
with the United States, abound with warnings to
US to beware of our conduct, or they will treat US
as they doing Russia. The alliance between
England and France has done much to Increase
this feeling towards US. They talk great deal
about the self freliant character of US Yankees, but
think they show their ego,ism and vanity great
deal more when they talk of serving like they
do the Russians. J.

Drop Of OIL.

Avery man who lives in house, especially if
the house be his own, should oil- all the avaIious
parts of It once in two or three months. The
house will last much longer, and will be much
more quiet 10 live in. Oil the locks bolts and
hinges of the street door, and it will shut gently
with luxurious ease, and with the use Of little
amount of force. Aneglected lock requires great
violence to cause il 10 shut, and with so much VIC.
ence tha. the whole house, its doors, its windows,
its very floors and joists, are much shaken, Lin
time they get out of repair in oil sorts OF ways.
10 say nothing Of the dust thai is displaced every
time the place is so shaken. The incessan bang.
ing OF doors, scroopng Of locks, creaking and
screaming Of hinges, is great discomfort. Even
the beil,wire cranks should sometimes be oiled,
and they will act certainly and with such
gentle force that there will be little danger OF
breaking any part Of them. The castors of tables
and chairs should be sometimes oiled, and they
will move with such gentle impulse and SO quietly
that slerping child or an old man is not awbk-
ened. wel.oiled door.lock opens and shuts
with hardly whisper. Three penny yworth's Of
oil used in large house once year will savo
many shings in locks and other material, and in
the end will save mnny pounds in even The sub.
stantial repairs of house and an old wife living
and sleeping in qnret repose will enjoy many more
years Of even temper and active usefulness.-
House-keepars, pray do not forget tho oil A
sich in time saves nine, and drop milne saves
pounds.-The Buiidtr.
