The Con ventlon between France and
Mexico.

The convention between France and
Mexico was published at Paris on the
l7lh Of April. The following is sum
mary OF its provisions: 1t declares that
the French troops are to be reduced as
soon as possible to twenty-five thousand
men, including the foreign legion. The
French troops will gradually evacua,e
Mexico as the organization OF the Mexi-
anc troops proceeds. The foreign legion,
composed OF eight thousand men, viii re.
main in Mexico six years after the recall
OF all other troops. Wherever the gar
rison of place may not be exclusively
Mexican, the commandant will be q
Frenchman. The French commanders
will no. be permitted to intervene in the
Mexican administration. The expense
OF the French expedition until July. 1864,
is fixed at two hundred and seventy mill
lion francs. After July, 1864, Mexico
will pay an annual indemnity of one thou
sand francs for every French soldier.
The Mexican government will pay annu.
ally twenty-five millions in cash in liqui.
dation of the sums due to France. The
further states that commit
tee will examine the claims of French
subjects ard the indemnities due TO the
same. The interest on Treasury Bonds
has been fxen at four and half per cent
for six TO twelve months.

calfe, OF Kentucky, made radical Union
speech at public meeting few days
since, at which he related an anecdo,e OF

Napoleon in the spring of 1861. l went
10 see Gen. Nc Clellan, and in the course
Of the conversation said to him that jeff
Davis was scouudrel and repudiator.-
He Clellan) slraightened himsel up
quickly, and said: II do assure you, sir,
you are mistaken. Jeff. Davis is per-
feet gentleman, and will not do anything
unbecoming to gentleman" Well, if a
traitor, conspirator, thief, repudiator, and
civil devil, who is instigating all this MUIR

How to OutWit the Moth.

The following has more real virtue in
it than any Of the So called scare-aways
OF the moth which has met our eye.-
Only be careful that there are no moths
in the furs when put away, and it will be
impossible for them 10 ge!in, If necessary
care is taken, But to The advice:
Most Of our insects are very hardy,
caring little for wind and weather, and
will never "die of aromatic pain" We
once packed some smell skins in the cen
ter of a cask Of tobacco leaves and stems,
the miller went there, deposited her eggs,
aud the .furs we're ruined. This shows
that they are not at all delicate, and care
nothing for tobacco. Expensive cedar
closets are frequently constructed with
the idea that the rather pleasant odor
of the cedar is sufficiently disagreeable to
the moth to keep her away from articles oil
clothing deposited there. This is a mis-.
take. The strongest instinct prompts The
miller 10 seek the means of perpetuating
its kind, and no trihing impedment will
prevent il. But The preservation OF furs,
or articles Of elothing,is perfectly simple,
cheap and easy. Shake them well, and
tie them up in cotton or linen bag, SC
that the miller cannot possibly enter, and
the articles will not be injured though
the bag is hung up in wood.house or
garret. This is cheaper than 70 build ce.
dar closets, and better than to Gil tho bed.
