NOutherners In Paris.

There are several cases of "real hard
ship" among Southerners in Paris, re
sultlng from the suspension Of communi-
cation between Europe and the seeded
States.
"Gentlemen from the sunny South
who came to Europe some time since,
and who have been depending for their
funds upon periodical remittances, now
find themselves completely run out, and
dispossessed even of the means of pay
ing for their beloved Cocktails and
brand y-smashes." They are in the nm
fortunate condition of the men who
could neither 60 nor stay. They cant
get away for two reasons: They have
no money, and won't take the oath Of
allegiance; aud landlords, and taiIors,
and restaurant keepers are becoming
clamorous for their pay. One young
man from Mobile, who is said to have
an income of eight Thousand dollars q
year, is in the debtors prison of Cl,chy
at the suit of keeper Of an American
bar-room.' Another young man, Of a
wealthy family in Louisiana, has been
obliged to enter store as clerk, and
still another has obtained employment
in the office Of an architect. But the
hardest case Of all which has come to
my knowledge is that OF young man
from one Of the Southern States, who,
by the stoppage of The Southern mails is
left perfectly destitute here. But this
is not the worst Of it. He has been for
some time engaged to be married to q
young lady in Boston, and the happy
event was set for the 18th Of Sept. The
time has passed, and the unhappy lover
with three thousand miles of brlny ocean
between him and his beloved, is living
here upon the charity Of his friends, He
certainly cannot be very enthusiastic
upon the subject Of 'secesh.'"

The icoposlastic hand Of improvement
has fell upoaihe mot senowne4 politi-
cal land mark Of New Y ork. The Pew
ter Mug, which for half . century has
been the inner sanctuary of alItrue Dem
ocsats, 10 uuroofed, it, doors and win
dows are gone, and only small portion
Of the wall remains to mark its site. II
would require . volume TO record the
interesting history Of this celebrate'
,lsce, and the story would embrace the
political history Of hundreds Of the great
OF the city and State, Of every shade Of
political faith. Standing in the shade
Of old Tammany, the Pewter Mug wa
always more truly Democratic that the
wigwam itself. While the grave form
alities Of party action we're observed 10
Tammany, the real power that impelled
the machine often emanated from knot
of shrewd men who stood carelessly
chatting and drinking At the hospitable
bar Of Widow Lynch.
At that small and plain bar, Demo
cratic to the last degree in it's want Of
the ornamental gewgaws common to
the dram shops OF the day, have stood
such men .. Martin Van Buren,, De-
Witt Clinton, Daniel d. Tomkins, old
Dr.. Ho.ack, Gulian c. Verplank, DR.. S.
L. Mitchell, Walter Bovine, VIM. L.
Marcy, Franklin Pierce, Howell Cobb,
Stephen A. Douglass, Stephen Allen,
Saul Alley, John Targee, Preserved Fish,
Elijah +. Pordy, Jas. Conner, Thomas
Dunlap, Dick Connolly, Dan Deval'n,
Ike Fowler, Capt. Rynders, and host
OF great and small stars in the party con
stellation. Many Of those who are now

For the last fifteen years the Pewter
Mug has been wanting in political i'm
portance. In its palmy days the great
men Of the city lived below or near the
Park. State street, lower Broadway
and Greenwich street we're ar,stocratic
quarters. The yellow fever of 1929, the
cholera of 1882, the great fire of 1885,
and the rapid increase of the mercantile
business Of the city, drove those people
northward, and now they are too far
away, if they we're not too old, to reach
their old haunls. New temples far
away, where the wild timber grew when
the Mug was built, gather the degene-
| rate sons Of the Pewter-Muggers. TIE
| modern innovation of teetotallsm is (ol
was) killing ont the favorite old custom
Of spending leisure evening at the ale
house, and
"The good old ways our fathers trod''
are obliterated by the tramp Of modern
customs and modern improvements. One
curiosity remains to be mentioned. Ii

of some old frequenters, portion Of the
wall Of the original building will be pre-.

structure, so that we shall still have
some memorial of the famous Pewter

lature, to complete tue wallis and inclose
the building, has been expended aud
the work is again suspended. Tue act
comforting it has l'ecn complied With in

sorry Is much The same az that Of the
frs; story the root, which in shape is
hipped, is covered with the best quality
Of pine shingles; and the cornice, houph
plain, is heavy, and corresponds we'll
with the proportions Ct the building.
The only deforuity which the critical
observer would discover, in the dimen.
sions OF the ed'fice, is the want of suffi.
Gent height to correspond with the
length and width. The Legislature cut
down the plan ne story, ard this very
noticeable defect in Il e exterior Of the
building, is Attributable to that fact, and
not TO the want Of skill or tas'e in the
architect. Comm,ssi ,ner James B.
Locke, and the contractors, Messrs.
Finkoinc & Lovelace, deserve great
credit f,r the fidelity with which they
have discharged their duty to the State.
