Of good coffee is doubly delicious, our

AMERICA AND FRANCE NOT so SENSITIVE.
Americans begin 20 be less sensitive
Trollope says we copy France in man
ner, speech, dress and cooking. He
should have added, Americans begin TO
care as little for England's opinion as
France does. France laughs at England,
Americans must do the same. England
used to pinch France, now France pinch
es England; America is copying the
habit England is now thin skinned as

The Steele, is equally happy with the
dissecting knife; how the English
squirm. Ridicule is good thing when
based on truth. When you joke, always
joke on facts. The French writer's say
the English are put in stalls at the res
taurant, by themselves, to keep them
from biting each other.
France is emancipated; so is America.
Our people will never again cringo be-
fore English public opinion. Write what
you please misrepresent, eXaggerate,
lie, swear, bear false witness. No mat
ter what you do; for America, like
France, will be no longer sensitive.
England must now take her turn. AM

The Pennsylvania Recervo Corps, just
sent TO Mcclellan, is 1900 strong, in
stead of 5000 as at first reported. The
Harrisburg Telegraph adds that it is bet
ter equipped, better drilled and armed,
than any similar number Of men in the
army Of the Potomac. Il is the pride
Of the State that those men were all re-
cruitcd and ready for service at the very

which may be exclusively attributed to
the forethought, judgment, and indomita-
