ABOUT PIRACY.-ihe reader is aware that there is
great deal Of discussion about the alledged piracy 1t
is simply dodge of the law-andorder party to get the
United States Government to espouse their quarrel
or more likely, to frighen the Committee to terms.
Speaking OF the intermedling Of the Supreme Bench,
the Sacramento Union remarks:
"Those rash and foolhardy acts have dded earfullv
to the emharrassnlens which before surrounded the
relative positions ut the State authorities and the
Vigilance Committee. And STILL not content an at

California in which he made some justification of the
killing Of Keating by Herbert The Bulletin answers
I'VE tell this Senatorial apologist for the crime of

picture presented OF the widow of that poor Irishman
bearnher babe to the courthouse and in the frenzy

made il an orphan, makes many heart here swell with
sympathy for that mother and that child and Indignation

both looked for support. We tell him that his consttu-

A PALPABLE HIT.-In France smoking is,
perhaps, less a rage than it is with US, but in
France, the liberty of smokers is greater than
in America. Thus, i'll the United States peo-
pie who smoke in omnibuses, cars, cabins Of
steamboats,, or other places of the sort are few
and far between. In France, on the contrary,
1t is very common to see gentlemen ~ indulg-
ing In cigar on such occasions. An elegantly
dressed and aristocratic looking lady entered
first class railroad car, at the Paris depot, g
day or two ago. As she opened the door and
took her place she observed that the car was
occupied by three or four gentlemen, one Of
whom, at the moment of her appearance, was
in the act of lighting his cigar. Observing
the lady, he made significant grimace, and,
with the characteristic word.pOlitepess of a
Frenchman, said Would smoking incom-
mode you, madame?' The lady turned
toward him, and with an air Of quiet dignity
replied, " L do not know, sir no gentleman
has ever yet smoked in my presence :" He
put out his cigar.
