CmLDREN's CoNcERT.-This concert drew
full house last evening, and the young vocal
lists acquitted themselves very handsomely.
There was good selection of music, and it
was performed exceedingly well. WeAthink
they have been well trained under the man
agement of Mr.. Gardiner. The solos, Duets
and chorusses were we'll received by the audi
ence. The children made fine appearance
In the Proscenium. The girls were robed in
white, with wreaths Of flowers enclrcling their
heads, and conducted themselves In an admi-
raole manner. The refining power of music
makes impressions upon young hearts that
will always remain through life, aud parents
do well to give their children every opportu-
nifty to learn this art. The songs were full of
patriotism, and the children waved their min
iature flags with spirit and animation, as if
they felt the power of the music. We Judge
from the manifestation of applause that the
concert was entirely satisfactory to the audi
ence.

Indemnity for Rebel Spoliations,

The Chicago Tribune-the leading admins
tration paper in the Northwest, says: .ga
No purpose was ever more firmly fixed on
the minds OF the American people than that
Great Britain shall pay the damages he allow
ed her subjects. under the rebel flag, to infict
on our commerce. The settlement may be
procrastinated by diplomatic wiles for time,
and liquidation deferred, but sooner or later
the claim must be paid in full.
The Montreal Witness-a paper every way
friendly to the North-after copying the above,
adds: Ssa ANfS
So far as we can see, the above expresses the
opinion more or less distinctly uttered Of the
whole or nearly the whole American press
The consciousness of great strength is again
producing in many papers similar boasting
and threatening to what occurred about the
Oregon and Maine boundary questions. These
are not pleasant passages ofmutual intercourse,
lthonghthey would be comparatively innocuous
butfor the exposed position of Canada.

10 he Editor Of the Press: fsba aass sg4f
Please allow me to suggest through your
columns to housekeepers, the Importance Of
keeping themselves posted in reference to the
current prices Of country produce, such as
fruit, particularly, IL they do mot wish to be
imposed upon. It is only when the market Is
gutted that the market mel will eondeseend
to call at your doors, and then viii ask the
highest store prices Of the day or two previous.
For Instance, strawberry dealer called at
the writer's house yesterday with strawberries
for sale at taOentyJfUe cents, and refused to
take less; though in a Few minutes afterwards
asupply was obtained at the stores for t,oenty
GAS. The price paid that morning by our
provision dealers was not over, and more like
ly less than from Is to II cents by the quart.

THREATENING LETTERs.-The Toronto
Leader is in hot water again. It has great
deal of trouble, and for the obvious reason
that the way of the transgressor Is hard. 1t
publishes dispatch from Montreal which
states that anonymous letters have been
sent to Southernerns there by scores, threat
ening them with assassination II they don't
leave the country. The dispatch says one Of
the letters may yet lead TO some important
disclosures. If these Southsrners should thus
be frightened from Canada, the Leader would
lose It's best and most intimate friends.

Miss SLrDELL.-It has unfortunately turn
ed ont, so 1t is said, that Miss Slidell has not
married among the chivalry of France after
all. Erlanger, her husband, turns out to be
the son Of a merchants clerk whose money
making character was most disreputable. Err
LANCER is nearly bankrupt, and so the daugh-
ter of this traitor to bis country will not be
likely to move In the most fashionable circles
in Paris. Since the collapse Of the rebellion
her father has lost much prestige, and even
previous to that he had been avoided by the
upper ten. Poor Slidelll he begins to feel
that the closing years this life win not be so
full of pleasure As he anticipated. .ssl ss'

GENUINE DIAMONDS FOUND In CALIFOR-
NIA.-Stones known as California diamonds
have been used by jewellers during the past
ten years, but tits now ascertained that gen.
uine diamonds are to be found in the mountain
streams OF that State. A number Of these
stones have been sent to San Francisco and
Boston--the only places In the United States
where diamonds are polished-and have been
found to be genuine. Most of these stones
were found at Cherokee Ravine, In Butte coun-
W; several came from North San Juao, Neva-
da couaty, and one was found near P acervile
Toe av rage value was perhaps SIS, the larg-
est one teing worth $125. They were fou I'd
in sluices, or pudding boxes used for placer
mining. Several of the miners who found
these diamonds in theirsluiees, state that they
had repeatedly seen similar stones while min.

General Grant and the RishA Il Suffrage,

6 This officer OF cur Governments saysso lit
tie upon any subject outsidethe army. and is
so unobtrusive in his manners and so appar-
emily reluctant to parade his Opinions before
the public, that when he does say anything,
aud especially when he expresses an opinion
on topic that engrosses the public attention,
it is eagerly caught up and well considered.
He is SO far removed from being an open
mouthed politician, and standing so much
aloof from anything like demagogueism that
he exercises moral power in the community
that few men possess. He is considered an
honest man. This gives him a controlling
power over public opinion, and invests his
opinions with great moral force whenever he
expresses them. sa aseedsE .affa7is a q
"a To show our readers Gan. Grants notions
in relation to the suffrage question, we give
The following from the Chicago Tribune: :
general Grant, in conversation with his
friends, says that it is too soon TO declare that
the loyal blacks in the South shall not be al
lowed to vote. Aside from the abstract right
and legal problem OF what authority can con-
ter or withhold the neutrality-suspicious. ii be
Congess or the States---the question may as
sumo the shape of political necessity. The
government and people may have to choose
between keeping a standing army of loo 900
men at an expense Of 800 900 a year, to
support the white minority in the South
against the white rebel majority, or of en-
franchising the blacks, and thereby enabling
them to support the white loyalists. General
Grant foresees that the suffrage question may
take this FORM" aas iis'A iasfa EsAai
sf
Surely the above affords matter for earnest
thou ght and consideration True, indeed, the
question may yet assume the shape of a polit-i
ical necessity. That will depend, in agreat
measure, upon how the leading Southerners
behave themselves. II they continue to spit
out their spite and Cypress the negroes, we
trust there is power somewhere to restrain
them. @s AssA sAegAsss ~ a4t
