No woman can be lady who would
wound or mortify another. No matter how
beautiful, how refined, how cultivated she
may be, she is in reality coarse, and the
innate vulgarity Of her nature manifests it
self here. Uniformly Kind, courteous and

a true woman.

Senator Stewards European Tour.

The Paris correspondent OF the New York
Erening Pos. furnishes the following inforna-
ton Of the movements Of Senator Seward:
Senator Seward, whose expedition 10 Egypt,
SYRIA and the Holy Land, was the occasion OF no
little concern among his friends who knew the
pers Of travelling in that quarter during the
summer months, has returned 10 this city safe
and much improved in health and appearance.
During his absence he has had very satisfac-
tory glance at Italy, or at its principal capitals,
and al the monuments of ancient and modern
civilization in Egypt and Asia Minor, to say moth
ing OF week pleasantly spent in Vienna, where,
as in all the places which he has visited, he
has experienced no lack of attention from those
whose attentions in Europe are usually most
highly priced. Since he left Paris, he has
spent thirty nights on the Mediterranean, and
surveyed the extremes of civilization on three
continents think | may safely add that he
goes home satisfied that Providence has done a.
well by our people a by any OF the races, and
that America is a good enough country for him
10 live in.
In his haste TO get eastward, in the summer,
he had no opportunity Of seeing anything of
France, and so much has been said OF the
changes wrought, both in this city and in the
other departments since he was here some twen-
iv-f.e wears ago, that he has determined TO i'm.
prove the brief period which remains between
this and the departure of the Arago, on the
l3,h proximo, in studying Napoleonism. He will
then sail for home

NEw York CuY REFURIIC.NS The Tribune
OF Thursday says: The Republicans Of New
York were overpowered in the election OF Tues
day by the weakness of some of the wealthy
and the imd who previously belonged to the
party but they came out OF it with honor un-
impaired, with their numbers still great and pow
erful, and with discipline and efficiency which
they never possessed before. The great contest
of 1860 will not find them uncertain in their a.
legisnce nor doubtful in their action. They are
veterans who have smelt powder: Others may
be doubted, but they can be relied on.

Detroit remains in high, and indeed increas
ing excitement, owing 10 the mysterious disap-
pearance and probable MURDER Of Mr.. J. Barney
Campau, who was last seen or Jefferson Avenue,
near the B.ddle House, just two weeks ago TO-
night. The Detroit River has been dragged,
suspicious houses all over the city have been
mos, thoroughly searched, money has been Law
ished like water, and meeting after meeting has
been held, but all TO no purpose. Poor Barney
but adds another TO that long succession OF men,
who have found their graves in that charnel
house of murdered men-the bottom Of Detroit
River.
During period Of about ten years in which
We were connected with the pre-- Of Detroit, Il
became our duty as often on an average as two
or three times every year 10 record just such
mysterious deaths as that Of Mr. Campaa. Ii Is
so easy to conceal the frst evidence Of murder
the body of the deceased-by throwing it into
the River that the circumstance really operates
as an incitemeut TO the wicked men who throng
the docks, by day and night. The disappear

have also disappeared as mystcriously, all within
the space Of three weeks Rewards have also
been offered by Detroit citizens, for the recovery
Of their bodies, or proof OF the manner Of their
death, or their whereabouts if alive.
