The diplomatic dress question has
again caused a great difficulty in Eu-
rope. AT Bordeaux, recently, when
the Emperor's birthday was celebra-
ted by the government officials, cir
culars were issued by the highest au-
thority of the department. to the va
rious CIVIL judicial and military func-
tlpnarles, and to all the Consuls ex-
cept the representatives of the Uni
ted States, inviting them to appear
at the Cathedral in full costume, and
participate in the ceremonies. A
letter says: {.
The American Consul (Levi K.
Bowen, Esq, Of Baltimore county,
was not invited because of his refusal
to wear a diplomatic costume. On
that day he happened to be on a visit
to the country, but the acting consul,
in view of the slight, did not close
the Office of the cons late during the
fete, nor display the American flag,
md the Captains Of the American
vessels in port, who had hoisted their
colors, haulad1them dosn on hearing
Of the occurrence. When this was
observed, one of the city officials
went alongside of the vessels, and di-
rectcd the Captains to hoist their
flags, but again they refused. Or.
ders were then given to Frenc h ma

THE AcTIyITY OF THE FRENCH
EMPEROR. The Emperor flies a.
bout d he Empire with great rapid
fly. On one day he appears at
Bordeaux, the mex Il fluids him here
in Paris. One week since saw him
at the theatre applausling Madame
Rachel, in three days after he ma
noeuvred hnGdreh thousand men
at Boulogne, and Tonight he has
returned to Paris. That he las at
heart the best int erests of France
can hardly be doubted; at the same
time he is not very popular in Par
is. Attempts upon his life are more
frequent than peoI lie are aware OF.
Three spiracies TO blow him up
with Internal machines have been
detected within a month, and one
scoundrel took shot at him with
a pistol, without effect. The assas-
sin was killed and planted al once.
Napoleon is a man without fear, not
witlIstanding these attempts. lie
exposes himself freely at the opera,
in the streets, and especially at Bou-
lpgne. 1t is said That he expects
to die violently som e time, and that
lie has made arrangements to pre-
erve order in case the event shall
take place.

ly the lawyer frequently has consid-
cradle labor i'll answering the inqui-
ries Of persons interested as to what

such inquiries, to have brief alb
slract Of these acts published:

By the act of 1888, CHI. 2, Sec. /

Al, the provisions of the several acts
exempting property from execution
are extended to the WI fe and children,
administrator, executor, or heirs of
the deceased or absconding debtor.

cable to executions in criminal cases.
But by the act Of 1916, Oh. l69,

And BY the act last cited, the pro-
