Hibernia aud America--The Irish Ex-
Odus TO the United States.

The Irish emigration still continues, at
rate which threatens results far beyond the
calculations of the economist, perhaps even
tie wishes of the statesman. IL is no longer
the overflow of a vessel full to repletion, but
the operation of syphon which drains to
the very bottom. If that syphon may be re-
gardcd in any visible form, it is the railway
system. which, in the eyes of every lrishman,
appears TO have one common terminus across
the Atlantic. He sees trains of hopeful, II
not happy. faces going OF TO the Land OF
Promise, from which friends and relations
have sent not only invitations, but the means
of accepting them. A train starts TO catch
an emigruut vessel as regularly as In Eng
land to catch a steamer acrUss the channel.
The emigrant ships have no longer 10 peep
into every little port to pick up their passen-
gers. They assemble ut Cork, and pass in
continuous stream, if it may be 20 called,
across that ocean, which, wide as 1t he, Is
easirr to an lrishman than the gulf which
divides him from England. AT present ii
cannot be said that there leaves Ireland as
much as the natural increase, but the causes
in operation are not unlikely IL make 1T eX-
coed that rate. AS the small holdings are
thrown into larger, and the farm grows up
to the English scale. there must be numbers
everywhere bred TO the occupation of land,
and with all the ideas adapted to it. but I'M
able to get holdings that will require little
or no capital.
They 80 across the Atlantic as a matter of
course. Brothers, uncles and ueighbOrs have
gone long before, and send, not only igood
news, but the substantial pledge oil It's truth
in the shape of orders on Irish banks. iu
ireland the remark is that these are welcome
to go. They are the Irish surplus. They
constitute the stOre-house of independent
terprise which Providence would seem 10
have prepared through long ages for the
peUpling OF the New World. But there is
class who are not bid ''GOd speed" quite SO
cheerfully. Laborers-that is, meu with
strong sinews and thews, who can do a good
day S work, and are content to receive wa
ges, are, they always have been, the chief
want OF ireland. Tie new race of farmers
do not like TO see them CO. But who can pick
and choose in human affairs? There are GOO
easy souls, who enter life with this specu-
lation, who expect in every thing the fruit
without the husk, the meat without The bone,
the sweet without tue sour, the harvest with
out the tillage. In ireland they expect II
good farm, a good house, good lasdlUrd
and some good laborers, who shall come
when wanted aud do a good days work. But
The pOslman knocks at all doors, aud brings
TO these, us we'll as their proudcr ncighbors,
letters and rerBittaDces, and good accounts
from the Western States; so off they 60,
leaving the new tenant farmers TO manage
well as they can.
IL this goes ON long. as it is likely to go
on, ireland will became very English aud the
United States very Irish.

A French chroniqlear asks in his paper:
"1stberc in Enrope mortal SO abandoned
by the gods as not to have heard ofthe Grand
Fancy Ball given by their Majes,ies at the
Hotel Monitor and we might add, or in
America either, for by this time the wonders
of this ball must bave penetrated even the
wilderness of the Far Wet. Think of
ball for a thousand persons, which cost Sl20.-
000i The Duchess of Berri gave ball in
1890. which for magnifcence aud originality,
remained till today unrivaled. The ball of
the Champs Eiysees was intended to efface
the memory of that of 1880, and it would be
strange indeed if it bad nos succeeded, for
the last always has the special privilege of
being the best. The journals will carry you
the details of the magniiiceuce of this impe-
rial fae; they will tell you of the brilliant
costumes. of the character quadrilles," rep
resenting the seasons and the elements; of
the marvellous decorations of the hotel, of
the pantomimic moon and garden, created
by electricity and painted canvass; of the
supper, the flowers, and even the witty say
ings OF the disguised princes and princesses.
Spendnrs. surprises. aud exlraragances were
beaped; one upon another, to unheard-of pro-
fusion.
The Emperor who favors certain extent
of briiiancy in his Court. does not coun-
tenance such extraVagances as these. But
the Court is surrounded, just now, 10y a So
ciety anxious to dazzle the world with its
grandeurs, and he is obliged to yield more
or less to this influence. The Empress her.
self, it seems, is fond of this kind of thing.
and in tue society to which the Court is al
lied, and which has absolutely nothing else
10 do tan to amuse itself. Her majesty finds
plenty of counselors, and aders and abettors,
in these attempts 10 make OF the present
Court to be remembered for its brilliancy.
Fortunately for Court with such tenden-
cies, good behavior has thus far been the
rule, and, as at present organized, it is not
probable that future historians will be
obliged to occupy themselves with the scan-
dals of the Court of Napoleon Ill.
There was time at Paris when the fetes,
the houses, the horses, the carriages, the ta-
BILE, and even the coats of au American were
the wonder, the admiration, and the model
OF the aristocratic world of the town. refer
to the Iale Col. Thorn, of New York. An
other American. Mr.. Phalen, also OF New
York, is fast enheriting the reputation of
Col Thorn, at least so far as regards the
! magnifcence of his receptions. But for the
affair OF tie Hotel Montijo. Tor The Hotel d.
Alba, as il is also called,) Mr.. Phalen would
have carried off the houOrs OF the Winter, in
the spl,ndor and costliness of his receptions.
They are the wonder of the arstocratic
faafbourg from Which his society is almost ex-
clusivcly made up.

TO Speaking of the Postoffice deialcation.

ErS Speaking of the Postoffice deialcation.
the New York Tribune says:
Mr.. Fowler was compelled by the Admis-
iration to take more than n commonly bitter
prrt against Judge Douglas at Charleston.
Ills own undoubted choice, however. was for
Vice President BreckiuIidge, with whom he
has long been on terms of the most confiden-
,ial intimacy; and next after BrecbnIidge
he MAS in favor. as his vote showed, of his
old friend in the Pierce Cabinet, ex-Secrctary
Guthrie. I hese things are only mentioned at
this time 10 contradict the false and malici-
Gus rumor that Mr.. Fowler. at Charleston,
did not oppose the vote of the New York
delegation in favor of Judge Douglas with
all his strength. In company with Messrs
Butterworib, Reynolds, Cochrane. and Bar
low. he did all that he could to carry out the
wishes of Mr.. Buchanan; and possibly for
this reason he may have expected official pro-
lection until after the 18th of June. Mr..
FOw Ter had many active friends in the Senate
of the United States, aud his political ac-
ton has of late seemed to be entirely con-
troil' by the views OF Messrs. Gwin Shields,
aud Bigler, acting on behalf OF the President
IL is but just to say, in conclusion, that
while the friends of Mr.. Fowlcr have nothing
10 say in defence of his conduct in this par
ticular matter, there would app ar to be felt
for the man himself the sincrrest aud most
fervent compassion. All speak OF him a. oi
a noble nature wrecked and ruined By i'm
prudence; "a n man capable OF the finest and
most generous feelings. gradually warped
