A BEAUTIFUL CusroM the
French settlers in Canada, on the lower
St. Lawrence, is very peculiar custom
something like the golden marriage in
Germany
Whenever venerable couple have rrod
the path of life together for fifty years,
they summon to a banquet under their
roof, from every quarter Of the land, all
their children and grand children, in whose
presence is re-performed the ceremony
that made them man and wife half cen
tury before, when the feasting and the
dancing, which continue for two or three
nights together, bespeak most heartfelt
happiness as well as gratitude aid at the
expiration of every FIVE years from that
period until separated by death, .be aged
pair continue to repeat the ceremony of
publicly pledging their vows Of fidelity and
truth.

what not many large hotels in Paris can

lower floor this morning, | find there an
American (from Boston) who has met me
often aud knew me at once, though I could
not call him by name. He seemed rather
amazed to meet me here, Il believe he last

greeted me very cordially, and we ordered

diciously left behind, for fear of accident and
by good luck there was nobody in it but two
outside passengers, who had nothing for the
thieves to take. Last Thursday notice was
given that gang of rebels were advancing
here under the French standard, but they had
no colors, nor any drums except bag pipes.
immediately every man in the place includ-
ing women aud children, ran out to meet them.
We soon found our force too little we were
too near to think of retreating. Death was in
every face, but to it we went, and by the time
half our little party was killed. we began to be
alive again. Fortunately the rebels had no
guns except pistols and pixies, and as we had
plenty OF guns and ammunition we put them
ali to the sword. Not soul of them escaped,
except some that were drowned in an adjacent
hog and in a short time nothing was heard
but silence. Their uniforms were all different
colors, but mostly green. After the action,

California in Congress-.

congress IN 1912 passed an act direct
ing the division of the several States into
Congressional Districts, and expressly pro-
viding that no one District shall elect more
than one representative This statute has
thus far been disregarded by California
That State is now represented, or rather
will claim to be after the first Monday in
December next, by two persons, Messrs.
Denver and Herbert, who were chosen by
general ticket-chosen in defiance of the
supreme law of the land.
California, we repeat, has never been
divided into seperate Congressional dis
trlcts. The Legislature has been under
the control Of men who have considered it
for their interest to have no division, and
that body has refused to discharge its du-
ty-retused to do what every other State
IN the Union has done. Now the question
arises, shall the representatives from Cal
iiornia be admitted upon the floor of Con-
gress' Ought they to be adr itted .
Agreeing in political sentiment with the
party which has been in the ascendant in
the House OF Representatives for several
years past, the representatives from that
state have of course experienced no diff
Guilty In gaining admission there has
been no effort to deprive them of seats,
Tor the very good reason that such effort
would have been almost certain to result
in failure.
But the next House of Representatives
VIII be different affair 1t will be oppos-
ed to the Administration. 1t will be COM
posed OF men, majority of whom will DIFF
Ter with the California gentlemen upon
nearly all the great political questions of
the day: and while that fact should have
no weight in determining the question un-
der consideratlon-the question whether
the gentlemen assuming to represent the
State OF California were or were not legal
ly elected--it may with great propriety
be insisted that men assuming high re-
gard for law--human law, we mean, we
believe they ignore "higher lawn ideas
should be required to swallow their own
prescriptions
On this ground it is plain that Messrs.
Denver and Herbert should be sent home.
No representative should be admitted to a
seat until the State shall be divided in
pursuance of the act of Congress, until its
representatives shall be elected by single
Districts. Who will complain if these
representatives are denied seats in the
House They cannot Those who sym
pathise with them in sentiment in the
House cannot The majority in that bo-
dy owe it to themselves, to their reputa-
tion as men Of integrity, and as advocates
of justice and supporters of law, TO send
them home, and We confidently expect to
isee it done.-N Y Tribune.

AN UoLY CUSTOMER Dont put on
no E.rtras. "A wager was made, some
time since, on board steamboat. between
a couple of jokers, one of whom, pointing
to an extremely ugly man, bet a bottle Of
wine that an uglier customer could not be
produced. The other, who had seen one
of the fremen as he passed on board the
boat-a man whose face was screwed out
of all shape-at once took up the bet, aud
started down stairs after his man. The
joker had an impediment in his speech,
but he, nevertheless, soon made known his
business to the fireman and obtained his
consent to show himself to decide the wa
ger. When inside the social ball, the uq
ly man, whose nose was on one side Of his
face and his eyes on the other, began to
screw and work them about to give his
face greater degree of uglness, IS o.

continued, first heard the melody in Italy,
One beautiful morning, as was stroliDg along
amid some rural scenery, thinking over a bedt-
ting lyric for the heroine of my piece my atten-
tion was arrested by the sweet natural voice
of young maiden or what you might properly
term in every sense of the word, rustic or
village beauty. She was carrying a flower
basket upon her head, and trilled out the notes
of her song, deliciously, with all the NATIVE
| simplicity ever attendant upon innocence and
beauty. The melody caught my fancy, and
| kindly accosted her, desiring its repetition,
