Not many years ago, two Frenchmen-
one wealthy and in possession of ready
cash, and the other poor, penniIeSs-occu-
pied by chance the same room IN subur-
ban hotel. In the morning the "seedy"
one rose first, took from his pocket a pistol
and holding It to his own forehead and
backing against the door, exclaimed to his
horriiicd companion:
''It Is my last desperate resort. [ am
pcnnliess and tired of lie; give me five
hundred francs or I will instantly blow
out my brains, and you viii be arrested as
u murderer
The other lodger found himself the
hero Of an unpleasant dilemma, but the
cogcncv Of has companions argument
struck him "cold." He quietly crept to
his pantaloons, handed over the amount,
aud the other yamosed, after locking the
door on the outside.
Hearing of this, another Frenchman Of
very savage aspect, one night roomed with

Chairman of the District Commit,

The HOMESTEAD BILL,-This benefcent
measure, which passed the house of represen-
tatives, Monday, by considerably more than
two-thirds vote, provides that 'any person who
is the head of family or twenty-one years OF
age may enter one Quarter-section of land, sub
Ject to presumption, and at the expiration of
five years, if then citizen, shall be entitled to
apatent on payment of ten dollars" The vote
stood ia to &c. OF the affirmative votes 81
were of republicans, and the rest Of the various
shades of opposition. One only, Mr. Craig
of Missouri, was from slave state. OF the
negative voters all bnt one were from the slave
states, and that one, VIM. Montgomery of
Pennsylvania, was born for plantation. The
bill will meet with more precarious fate in
the senate, and even if should be passed would
hardly escape the executive veto under the
present administration. The need of change
in the executive is magnifed as the time ap.
proaches for the trial But the signs are ia.
yorable and the skies propitious.

THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Our modern legislatures have been endowed
with the "gift of continuance" in degree I'M
known in the good old times. Movements
have been initiated looking to an adjournment,
but that agreeable consummation has not dur
ing the session seemed more hopeless than at
present. The debates are protracted very
much out of proportion with the necessities OF
the case, and at present advices show slight
signs of improvement. The only hope Of re-
lief is in the much abused previous question"
and Mr.. Wood of Nantucket whose name APP
pears SO often in connection with it, may be
regarded as a kind of public benefactor.

THE FAIR THIS EvENING.-The members of the
high school ask the attention of their friends
more to their entertainment this evening, at the City
Hall. Those who have attended fairs before will
find many novelties at this one. Special invitation
is given to the ex-mayors to the and present mem
bers of the city government, to the ex-members of
the high school, and to the teachers and past teach
ers of the city, to be present at the early supper at
81 o'clock when short speeches and appropriate
timents ''may be expected Refreshments may be
obtained during the evening Fancy articles, which
are also useful, will be for sale The piano now
used at the school will be disposed of at the hail.
and investments to the amount of fifty cents and
upwards may be made upon early application
There Is still opportunity for contributions to
the tables, of which it is hoped the friends will avail
themselves during the day The tickets for the
ning at fifteen cents, do not include the supper at
sunset which will be very gratifying to all who wish
to contribute much possible to the excellent OBJ
ject for which the fair is given.

THE CELTs ON TIME.-On Friday night last, be-
tween ten and eleven O'Clock, large number of
Irishmen, not less than sixty seventy, collected
the corner of Hibernia and Front streets, and
INDUCED in "bit of a row. making sundry out
cries which attracted the attention of officers Flint
and Flagg. The latter proceeding to the scene of
the disturbance, were both assaulted, in manner
which indicated that the assaiants were impelled to
the act by sundry questionable potations. Officer
Flint was severely handled, much so as to be dis
abled for the performance of his regular duties for
two three days. One Mortimer Sullivan is the
only person among the crowd who has been identi-
fed as one of the assailants. He arraigned be-
fore the Police Court, yesterday, and sentenced to
the House of Correction for three months for assault
and battery officer Flint, and one month addi-
tiona for the same ofense against officer Flagg.
He appealed and put under bonds of 500, in
both cases, to prosecute his appeal.

The railway committee of the legislature is
considering the propriety of law obhging the
Boston and Worcester railroad to carry freight
at the same price as for all connecting roads.
The practice of the Worcester road is to charge
more for freight going over the Western rail
road, than over other roads out of Worcester,
as the Norwich, &c.-Sprinqfeid Republican,
March 13.
Waving all other points, we ask the Repub-
lcan if the charge" made by the Worcester
road is not made in accordance with the prices
OH the joint freight tariff? and whether those
rates, established years ago, were not fixed by
the Western and Worcester roads, acting as
one The Republican knows they were; and
that the charge" made for the transportation
of merchandise is no more the work OF the
Worcester than it is of the Western road
Is not the Republican equally aware that
the earnings under this joint tariff are not di-
vided by any rule of the Worcester road
Of course it is. 1t does not need to be told
that all the earnings are divided according to
the award of commissioners who were ap-
pointed by the supreme court for that purpose
men, we will say, as impartial as they were
competent. So that, after all, the practice"
of the Worcester road is to charge and to re-
ceive as its share just what these commission
ers gave to it, neither more nor less
Perhaps the Republican, if it will look into
the matter further, may find that the prices
charged under this joint tariff for freight over
the two roads, are too high, and that the only
efectual remedy is to lower them. If our CO.
temporary should make this discovery, per-
haps he may get them SO reduced that any fair
division between the two roads of earnings IN
der joint tariff will reduce the share of the
Worcester road below its local rates. We
think the opposition to such reduction
would not come from those who manage the
Worcester road. We submit that this would
be more effectual, more speedy, and less ex-
pensive settlement of the alleged grievance
than any in the power of the legislature.

stepped aside very suddenly, and fortunately there
no injury of life or limb. The horse came in
