The Paris correspondent Of the London
Star says Of Archbishop HUGHEs;
Although now an old man, a constant
residence since his eighteenth year in his
adopted country has not in the least de-
prived him of certain unaffected simple
sociability in no way verging on rough
joviality. In some respects this excep-
tional prelate is a thorough American.
No Yankee that ever lived was a stronger
UniOnist, or had greater faith in the Fed
eral system Of the United States. lie
can only see one fault in il and that is,
the fatal concession made 10 South Caro-
lima on her admission into the Union Of
granting a more extended electoral suf-
frage TO her slave owners than 10 other
citizens. Somehow Archbishop Hughes
Is not the man 20 grow enthusiastic about
anything, but he approaches enthusiasm
when entering into an examination Of the
political machinery erected by the fathers
Of the great republic, that, according 20
him, combines the action of strong To-
cal government and individualism with
strong Capitalization. But in every thing
else he is an lrishmRn; his accent, also,
might be excepted, as IL does not belong
10 any country

The "Once a Month" for July, has
lately heard Of an indulgent father who
had spent what he thought liberal sum
"a thousand dollars or 80 - upon bis
daughters musical education. The net
result OF this pecuniary investment seem
ed, to his mercantile apprehension, 10 be
summed up in three music pieces, which
he found his daughter was able 70 play
when she came from the hand OF her
ieacher-namely a waltz, amazurka aud
aPolka. But she soon forgot the waltz,
and Afterwards the mazurka, SO that al
last the polka was all that was left 10 her.
Then, In the evening, when her father
came home, he would throw himself Ian
guidly on the sofa and say, "Come, my
daughter, give us thousand dollar
polka"

speech which refers to the United

The civil war which desolates Ameri-

long as the rights Of Heutrals are re-
spected. we must con6ne ourselves to
the utterance Of wishes that these dis
sensions may soon be terminated.

our soldiers and sailors The Span

ward Of their courageous support

rights Of nations. Nothing can arise
