sNNNMERM SEMNAMEA,

The Paris correspondent of the Morning
Advertiser says:-"The Pope has received ano.
Their cordial invitation to come to Paris. His
holiness, who has hitherto refused to assist
at the Emperor's coronation, is now invited TO
bestow bis pontiiicaI benediction at the bap-
tismal font on the heir TO the imperial throne
which, it is hoped. the Empress will soon pres.
ent to the Emperor and his people. But the
Pope holds out no promise that he will accede
to this demand. His holiness is scandalised
by hearing that Queen Victoria and Prince AL
bert are to be sponsors to the coming babe.
The Pope is Mortified at the prospect of vile
heretics becoming sponsors to Catholic prince
or princess, and unless this arrangement can be
overset it is scarcely probable that he will

A Singular Surgical Case.-Dr. E. P. Fear.

that time to the present, | have frequently re.

one day. The whole number removed amount
to sixty-two needles, and a pin, supposed to be

quite Il number remain to be removed. They
have been found in IA scattered condition, in the
region of the stomach, abdomen, and left side.
As the needles have been removed, her suffer-
ings have diminished. She is said to be a wo>

They demand the restoration of the Nilsson.

which may be formed out of territory from
which slavery was excluded by the Comprom-
Use. They protest against, coalescing with any

American party. The report recommends the
meeting of the American delegates at Philadel.
pbia on the 10th of February.
The minority report, which was rejected, in
sists upon the exclusion of slavery from the
Territories; says that persecution on account
of birth is unwarrantable; opposes secresy; re-.
CARDS the slavery question as paramountto all
others, and recommends river and barber i'm
provements, and a generous foreign policy.
The minority report was sustained chiefly by
The delegates from Ohio and Michigan.

English War Panic.

The English public and especially the press,
will be much disappointed at the spirit in which
the portentous articles Of the Times and its
coadjators were read by the pabple Of this
country. Those papers evidently anticipated
an echo Of their own thunder from beIligerent
Young America, which should serve to divert
attention FROM their infraction of our Enlist-
ment Act. Instead Of that, the Nominations of
the Thunderer, were received with shouts Of
ridicule, and . GOODNESS for which we have not
always been proverbial. The whole attack
and reply may Be illustrated BY a scene which
occurred not long since At an eating saloon in
this city. A sporting character, ont for -

quiet citizen who was present. and with an
evident determination to provokea row shook
his clinched fist in the gentleman's faccs say
ing. "Do You see that's" II d." replied the cit
izen, giving the offending member . very Curl
Gus glance, "and | think it would be better for
q little soap and water!"
The tone and manner were irresistible-and
q general shout from the whole company noti-
fed the crest fallen bully that he wal making
himself ridiculous. John Bull has tried the
staggering game and his buster has been res
ceived in such q way ~ TO turn the laugh

Paris Fashions for November.

The novelties of the approaching season are
now 10 be seen in the windows of the leading
fashionable shops of Paris. Commencing with
the materials that appear generally sought af-
ter, in the first rank, we must mention, As be.
ing always in fashion, plain velvet of every
shade, and which for dark ones is covered with
black lace. Lighter colors are trimmed with
white lace. English or m point d Alencon.
Next comes les uelours epingleS, specially de-
slined for ball dresses, which were last year
worn with ~t1Ounces for the skirt. This kind
of velvet is seldom made but of light colors
for ball dresses. We have next, for ~soirees,
the relours imperial, and the uelours mousse.
Les naoires antiques of plaid and sober shades
are also much worn. 1t is u material much
sought after for mourning. After this we have
\ new and very rich kind of robe, consisting Of
a'ternated bands Of velvet and MORE antique or
MORE antique is also of a light aud shade, a
petite rates de satin, which form Scotch squares
on plain or plaid ground. The pekins orientaur
are also very fine stuffs, which, with the damask
and the qros de Tours, divide the taste this
season.
Taffetas is the stuff which best adapts itself
to all the requirements of the existing fashion,;
and next, the various patterns which can b.
SNS" ~ toV 0NuAos sn"t OIo SSiAiOSL always
finished off with fringe woven in the stuff. The
mixture of stain heightens by its brilliancy the
flowers. Taffetas is thus always fresh and III
favor, because it adapts itself the easiest to all
the changes of fancy. Popeline is also much
sought after, and will be very much worn for
walking dresses. The Scotch kind, and tho
large squares formed Of two ~colors, are most
in favor.
Of collars, the variety is inumerable; and,
although the fashion has adopted the very large
ones, we do not think them in good taste, and
are not generally speaking much worn.
For sleeves, the variety is still greater. We
mention a few Of the shapes most generally
adopted: Circassian sleeves, and two or three
rows of lace and embroidery, and slightly
pressed by an entire deur, midway between the
elbow and wrist, so as to let the trimmings
float towards the latter without hiding it. The
Madonna s'eeves-quite closed. They are
made of muslin, remarkably simple, with moth
ing in the way Of ornament bur a triple wrist
band, embroidered and trimmed with lace.
Plain velvet will again be used for bonnets.
It has been laid aside for several years past, for
h relurs epingle, but it will resume the lead this
season.
Feathers also will be much used for winter
ornaments; but instead of little tufts, as-for.
merly long feathers will be worn to border The
front, and fall undulating to fnisl, off at the
side. -London illustrated News.

From the Crescent

From the Crescent.
Extract from a letter received by the editors
a day or two since:
why did Mt you carry Louisiana? We all ex
pected you would up here"
You "all expected" we would up there, die
you! We'll we expect you are cOnfoundedly
disappointed. We expected to carry Louisiana
down here, but we didn't, for the enemy "play-
ed on a harp Nv u Thousand strings" and de-.
luded too many people into voting the wrong
ticket!
You want to "know how this happened!
Well tell you in short order-quicker than a
short horse was ever curried. In the Catholic
parishes the people voted against our ticket be-
cause they were told by the high priests,
scribes, Pharisees and Sadducess, ofthe enemy,
each one of whom "pIayed on harp NV a thou
sand strings" that we were opposed to Catho.
lies.
In the Protestant parishes, the people voted
against our ticket because they were told by
men in authority that we are opposed to Pro-
testants because we had nominated a Catholic
as a candidate for Governor, and each man in
authority, as he concluded, 'played on a harp
Nv a hou~sand strings" and thereby enticed
the people to follow in their footsteps.
And, then. five -sixths of the foreigners voted
against us because they were told that the dia-
bolical Know othings intended to hamstring
every mothers son of them, after the election.
and the orators aforesaid, in the most earnest
manner imaginable, "played on a harp Nv a
thousand strings" and the foreigners folfow-
ed the music.
And it rained all over the interior on the day
Of election, and SO about two thousand of our
folks, having fear Of wetting their beloved feet
before their eyes, and having each one pur-
chased a sharp Nv a thou. sand strings" con-
cluded to stay at home and practice music.
Furthermore, and in addition to the forego~
ing reasons, we didn't, and could'nt-found it
utterly inpossible-to get votes enough, for
the enemy "played on a harp Nv a thousand
strings" and great multitudes followed and
joined with the harpers.
+. S.-f our correspondent isn't satisfied
with this luminous explanation, he must put
his i~nterrogatories in a different shape, and we
will endeavor to answer them, at least to the
best OF our ability. We may 1--WE want this
kept secretly by continually trying our hand,
arrive at the true reason ourselves!
N. Bit is positively untrue that the Ameri-
can party has ordered ten thousand harps--
each "uv a tkou-sand strings"-for use during
the next Presidential campaign. We desire to
MP this atrocious calumny in the bud.
