Soldiers Leave-Taking in Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Traveller writes:
Drunkenness is universal in Paris Just now,
and encouraged by the government, because 1t
makes the soldier and transcript forget every-
thing, at a moment when memory is prone to be
SO busy, and remembrances so painful. The dis
cipline In this particular IL entirely relaxed. /
have seen company after company move along
so drunk they could scarcely walk. AS their
guns are taken away from them, and will be
given them when they reach Genoa, there is no
danger of their doing any damage with their
weapons. The strangest' scene / saw was the
Lyons railway station, were the troops took
their departure. Soldiers of every different
arm of service, were huddled together. They
were without weapons. Each had we'll
filled knapsack, on the back of which was
strapped fat cake of brown bread, foot
wide and four inches thick. These were the
original dimensions, but many had been cur
tailed of their proportion until little remained
except u huge slice. The immense space in
front Of the "departing" station was filled with
fellows stretched full length on tho ground,
sleeping off in the sun the fumes of the wine.
Here were sergeants busily engaged "calling
the roll, and leading their men into the cars
There were drunken fellows cramming all their
pockets with hard boiled eggs.
Many groups were formed by weeping
mothers and sisters, and fathers and brothers,
bidding farewell to the loved one. How many
Of all these have seen depart will return here
again? No scero (belieye me, L saw many
painful soenes) of all those saw touched me
so near as the parting between brother and
sister--such was their relation, / heard them
say. The girl was a seamstress, and wore nc
bonnet, but neat muslin cap trimmed with
cherry ribbons, which set off her embrowned
face to great advantage. I do not think she
could have been more than eighteen. The
tears streamod down her cheeks. She filed
every pocket he had with something or an
other she bought from the pedders that
hawked about, and when his pockets were full,
she took of little silk apron she wore, and
packing it to its utmost capacity, tied it Sc
curely and placed it under his arm. When
the parting moment came, Zone thousand men
were sent Of every hour,) the poor child hung
to her brother as if she would have that Sec
ond eternal, and, bowing her head on his
breast, wept silently and bitterly. His lip
quivered and tears stood in his oyes. "He d,
Jas! 97l 81 dc peche--toi done" cried the SER
geant Tho brother kissed the girl on both
checks, and in a moment was hid by the great
door, behind which none but soldiers can go.

home. She lived not far from Notre Dame.
She occupied room in the garret, for | saw
her open the window, and sitting near it, she
buried her face in her hands.

AusTRIA's FINANCIAL TROUBLES finan-
cial straits of Austria are terrible. Within
three weeks there was an emission of one hun
dred and twenty millions of paper money,
without any metallic basis; forced loan Of
seventy-fvo millions in Lombardo- Austria,
and general raising of all the direct and in
direct taxes. And all this before tho first
battle, at the very outset of the war. What
will Francis Joseph do If II should last for a
couple Of years. Tho commercial distress in
consequence of the depreciation of the bank
notes, which has already reached fifty per
cent, is immense, and many failures have fol-
lowed that of the great banking-houso of
Trastain & Eskeles, and the provinces com
plain that they are unable to pay the taxes.

The Census Of 1860.

The year 1860 (says the Baltimore
Clipper,) is the time appointed for taking
the eighth census Of the United States
From having been originally simple en-
umeration Of persons, this Federal census
has grown to be decennial register of
the number of inhabitants, and their oc-
cupation, nationality, religious denomina-
tion, &C., and also q statement of the COM
merce, manufactures, arts and industry
of these statistics has hitherto been atten-
de6 with immense labor and great diff
Guilty. The inquiries of the census takers
have not only been baffied by the stupid
ity and perverseness and ignorance of
many to whom they were addressed, but
1t has been impossible to obtain accurate
Information upon important subjects be-
Sca1se the parties, who alone are presumed
capable Of imparting it, have never taken
the trouble to inform themselves. 1t Oft
en- occurs that. 10 the absence of the head
of family no other member of it is able
to give the information required; for in.
stance as to the ages of the different
members of it, or the amount of land in
cultivation the number negroes and their
ages the quantity and value Of horses,
mules and oxen, &c or of farming imple-
ments or farm products. In town and
country similar difficulties are continual.
ly met with by the marshals appointed to
collect these statistics, and III, cesnus is
consequently returned incomplete. 1t is
probable that while great care will be OBJ
served to prevent any fraud or excess in
the publication of the next census, it will
be ordered by Congress to be taken so as
to include all the most important items
Of information in regard to the progress
o. our population and our country. =
!. In view of this contingency the Nash
vile News very sensibly suggests that each
farmer this fall, as he gathers his crops,
shall keep something like an accurate &C.
count Of the quantity and value of the
same and if he will take the trouble to
make out statement of the names and
ages of his family: the number of acres of
land, cleared and timbered; the number
and ages of his servants; the number of
bales of cotton, barrels of corn. bushels Of
wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, &C.,
and leave it in some place where any
member of the family, who may be at
home when the deputy marshal shall call,
can readily get hold of it, it will save
time to all concerned, and very greatly
assist to make the cens1s returns perfect,
complete and satisfactory.
