WHO ARE YOUR AR1sTocRATs. Twenty years
ago, this one made candles, that one sold butter
and cheese another butchered, fourth carried on
a distllery, another was contractor on canals
others were merchants and mechanics. They are
acquainted with both ends of society," as their chill
dren will be after them-though it will not do to
say out loud! For often you shall find that
these toiling hatch butterflies-and they live
about year Death brings division of property,
and it brings new fnancers the old gent is dis
charged, the young gent takes his revenues and
begins to travel-toward poverty, which he reaches
before death, or his children do, if he does not So
that, in fact, though there is sort of monied race
it is not hereditary it is accessible to all three
good seasons of cotton will send a generation of
men up--a score oftyears will bring them all down,
and send their children to labor The father
grubs, and grows rich--hs children strut and use
the money. The children, in turn, inherit the
price, and go to shifess poverty; next their chill
dren reinvigorated by fresh plebean blood, and by
the smell of the clod, come up again.
Thus society," like tree, draws its sap from the
earth, changes it into leaves and blossoms spreads
them abroad in great glory, sheds them off to fall
back to the earth, again to mngle with soil, and at
length to reappear in new dress and fresh garn-
ture.

A century since, Benjamin Franklin, the Post
master General of the Colonies, set out in his old
gig to make official inspection of the different
routes. 1t is supposed that he accomplished the
object of his journey; but if he was to undertake
to travel in his gig all over the routes at present ex-
isting, he would arrive at the end of his journey
when he was about hundred years old. About
eighty years since, Congress appointed DR.. Frank
lin Postmaster General to the then independent
Colonies he still went in his old gig, and a small
folio containing about three quires of paper lasted
as his account book for two years Now the rail
road train goes sixty miles an hour, and the post
office accounts consume every two years three thou
sand of the largest sized ledgcrs, keeping no less
than one hundred clerks constantly employed in
recording transactions with thirty thousand con-
tractors and other persons There are now paid
annually, for mail-locks, keys and stamps, nearly
thirty-two thousand dollars; sum equal to the
entire outlay of the whole department in the year
1870. The stamped envelopes and postage stamps
cost over fourteen thousand dollars; the mail bags
fifty thousand the blanks seyenty-one thousand :
the wrapping paper forty-one thousand. Franklin
would be slightly astonished if he could rise from
his grave, travel to Washington in his old gig see
the three thousand ledgers the one hundred clerks,
and hear the rail train thunder past him at the
rate of sixty miles an hour. And yet what would
be his emotions when he reflected that this was but
one evidence of the rapid advance of the great Re-
public of which he was one Of the founders?

TURKISH JUSTICE. At Damascus certain mer-
chant was reduced to poverty through the treach-
cry of camel-driver, to whom he had entrusted
all he possessed, Some years afterwards, meeting
the traitor in street in Constantnople, he sum
moned him before the cadi The spoler who had
long ceased his journeys and lived like lord in
the capital treated the claimant as madman, de-
MED that he had been camel-driver, and tri-
umphantly quilted the court. Having reached the
street, voice cried after him, "Camel-drver, cam
el-driver." He turned and recognising the Judge,
who beckoned with smiling countenance hasten
ed to obey the call when re-entering the court,
he was thunderstruck by the apostrophe "What !!
wretch, dost pretend never to have been camel
driver yet, when the name is called, thou turnest
immediately" The cadi then decreed restitution
of the stolen sum, and, in addition, few hundred
blows, instead of interest," which is not permitted
by the Turkish law

FOREIGN News By the arrival of the steamer
John L. Stephens, at San Francisco, on Saturday
from Panama, we have news from Europe to Jan.
10Th.
Russia Consents to Negotiate on tie Proposals of
the 4lles. The grand news of the week is that
Russia agrees to negotiate on the terms proposed
by the Allies The first announcement was made
by the Vienna telegraph to the London Times, in
these words--"Russia accepts the Allied PROPOSE
tions unconditonally. This is authentic
The announcement caused immense sensation.
Funds rose 3 per cent. cotton one farthing, and a
panic reigned in other markets
lhe next day government published dispatch
from Minister Seymour at Vienna, as follows
"Russia agrees to accept the Allies proposal as
basis of negotiations
This qualified announcement curbed the excite
ment and alarmists begin to fear that Russia mere
ly seeks to gain time by deceptive negotiations
Meantime, funds remain steady
Previous to the above announcement, the Vienna
papers represented the state of affairs as most scr
Gus, unexpected and alarming, and that all the per-
Sonnel of the Austrian Embassy had received orders
to quit st. Petersburg, and the Russian Embassy
was ordered to leave Vienna.
The actual circumstances were. that when Count
Esterhazy handed to Count Nesserode, at St. Pc
tersburg, the Austrian allied note of Dec I'd, he
said he was not authorized to enter into discussion
but II the note not accepted Internationally
before jan Sth, he and all the Austrian Embassy
must leave st. Petersburg. To prevent this, Count
Nesselrode communicated with Vienna direct, and
on Jan. 1lth, Prince Gortschakoff at Vienna, had
talk with Count Boul, in which Gortschakolf pro-
duced a memorandum expressing a general nclina-
ton on the part of Russia to negotiate--but pro-
posed ceatain alterations in the programme Count
Boul formally received the document next day Fri
day, the l2th but inasmuch as it did not contain
an acceptance pure and simple, of the propositions,
Austria could make no reply without the concur
renee of France and England.
The Ambassadors of those powers accordingly
sent to Paris and London and received for reply
that the Western powers had no motive to give up
decision which had been already carefully consid-
cred: further that if by Jan. Is, Russia did not
accept the ultimatum, Esterhazy and the Austrian
Legation would leave St. Petersburg, and Austria
would Immediately seek to obtain the armed coop
Grafton of the Germanic Diet against Russia.
During the week that elapsed between Russias
first and second reply intense apprehension existed
in Vienna, although without sufficient cause for
the Austrian Cabinet had taken the precauton to
notify the Western powers that Notwithstanding a
rupture of diplomatic relations, Austria would not
be in position to commence hostilities this wear
On the 10th apprehensions were set at rest by
the announcement above stated, that Russia agrees
to negotiate on the terms proposed

Il L 9list1s tct itist'
Tread softly-bow the head
In reverent silence low
No passing bell doth toll
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing now.
Stranger. however great,
With lowly reverence bow
There's one in that poor shed,
One in that paltTv bed,
Greater than thou.
Beneath that hecgar's ,oof,
Lo! Death doth keep his state;
Enter-no crowds attend;
Enter--ao guards defend
This palace gate.
That pavement damp and cold,
No smiling courtiers tread;
One silent woman stands
Lifting, with mcagre hands,
A dying head.
No mingling voices sound
An infant vail alone
\ sob suppressed-again
That short, deep gasp, and then
The parting groan.
o. cha geo . unknown change,
Burst on the prison bars
This moment there, 50 slow,
So agonizel, and now
Beyond the stars.

There lies the souiless clod
The sun eternal breaks
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.
