AMERICAN AND PARIS PRICES "A cor
respondent of the Springfield Republican.
at the close of a gossiping letter about
Paris fashions, gives the following coupari
son of Paris prices for articles of ladies'
dress with prices here;
"We can buy in Paris good summer
silk for six francs yard, 81 20; black silks,
which at home are $3.50 yard, are here
81 90; French cambrics, for which We pay
rs cents, are here 80 cents. Kid gloves,
for which we give 81, are SO cents in Paris,
and at Naples 20 or 80 cents; $3.50 gloves
with us, are here 81 pair. Six months
ago in America coarse flannel was so or rs
centsa yard here it is Is or 20. Lace-edg-
ing, for which friend paid 33 cents last
month at Mudge's in Boston, patterned
here for IL cents; Lubin's soap, for which
I paid Harris & Chapman S1.25, I found
in Genoa for 80 cents, and am told it is
less in Paris. Lubin's extracts, for which
our druggists charge $l.25 or $3.50, are
here 25 cents. A point lace collar and
cuffs, for which at home We pay $25, are
here $12
GA lace shawl for which we pay S400, is
in Paris 5000, and at Brussels, where it is
made, $3.50. Black trimming lace Of mar
row width, for which We pay IS cents, is
here 80 cents. As for bonnets, which,
with my last American experience, were at
fabulous prices, such as from $50 to $50,
the ordinary price of handsome one in
Paris is IS, often only 81, with fine French
flowers. Those with blonde lace trimmings
are SIS or So. Yet ribbons are, for some
unknown reason, as expensive in Paris as
in America. So are boots and shoes,
provisions, rents and few other things.
Under garments of all kinds can be bought
here ready made and elaborately trimmed.
for what the mere cotton goods costs al
home. One is suspicious of cheap ready
made clothes, so often the tears of the poor
are worked into them; but as I waited the
other day in large shop of the kind
observed the neat little sewing girls who
brought home their work in hand
kerchief, and they looked smiling and pros.
porous.
GA French woman lives upon an incon-
siderably small sum, and provisions are SC
subdivided to suit their economy, that a
few sous procures them luxurious dinner
Once or twice week few dodgers in the
attic of some great house club together and
order dinner which is really luxurious,
though it is paid for in hard.earned SOUS
and this is all they ask"

THE SARD1NE FIsHERY.-The Paris cor.
respondent of the London Field thus de.
scribes the manner of catching Sardiues
"The nets, which are of the lightest
possible material, are paid out in long
line behind the boat, which drags the entire
feet of nets after it steadily. A man stands
in the stern and throws across the net
handfuls of prepared cod roe, commonly
called "rogue." As it falls on either
side of the net the fish dart through the
net to catch it and are caught by the giils
in doing so The long sunk trammel
have mentioned would require ten or a
dozen men to haul it in, but as it is worked
on board the steamboats, chiefly, it is wound
in by the engine. Besides the above nets
they use the large seine, or sean, and the
ground sean, the mullet net and the shrimp
net, aud there are some lift nets 1 could
not get at At times a prodigious number
of gray mullet are got by putting long
net across the mouth of the creek at low
water and weighing down the corks with
large stones. When the tide has come up
to its full height the ends of the net are
shaken violently, the stones topple of, and
the corks rise to the top, and every fish
which has entered the creek with the tide
is enclosed, without any disturbance OF
alarm. A gentleman I met told me that
he had been out on the day that I saw him,
and taken three Or four thousand pounds
weight of mullet in that way, large shoal
having entered the creek, the whole Of
which were captured. Some species of the
gray mullet will, however, when thus en-
closed, leap over the corks, and when this
is apprehended it is requisite to prop the
net up above the surface"

Canton, China, March 13.--Thc imperial
army has obtained u complete victory over
10000 rebels. supposed to he the residue Of
the army Of Tae Ping in the northeast. The
conflict lasted two days, and resulted in all
the rebels being either slaughtered or taken
prisoners. The imperial army was being
disbundcd.
New Orleans, May THE election Of

The rebel General Harry Hays was elected
Sheriff, the disqualification being removed
by the Presidents pardon. Glen. Beanre.
gard has gone north to raise money to pay
off the pressing liabilities Of the jackson
railroad, of which he is President.
New York, May THE Iierald's Wash.
ington correspondent Gays: Chief Justice

President. 1t is supposed, with reference to
the trial of Davis.
Norfolk, Va., May THE United States
Circuit Court convened today. Judge Tn.
dcrwood presided, Chief Justice Chase hay

martial law is fully ~abrogated IN Virginia.
Chase deems it unseemly for a Judge OF tic

There have been and arc runlors, based on
DECLARATIONS By Judge Underwood, that the

States Circuit Court reasscmbles at Riff
mend. to which place it is now adjourned to
meet early in June that Chief Justice Chase

Speed will bo assisted in the prosecution by
Ex. Governor Clifford, Of Mass. and MIR. NJ.

dictinent is not yet made public, but Is sad
to be similar to the bill reported by the
grand Jury of Alexandria some months since.
which the government did not prosecute.
Judge Underwood g charge to the grand jury
on tuesday. May sth, clearly sets forth Their
duty to act fearlcssly, even though their
fidelity might bring them enemies and mar.
deroas assaults, as had been the case with n
previous grand jury. In this connection he
inverted to his charge 10 the grand jury pre-.
eedino them, and said he would not express
himself now, as he believed they all knew
the sentiments he had expressed. Since
then peace had been declared, the writ Of
habeas corpus restored recently President
Johnson had expressed Il desire that no such
subordinates AS Wirtz should be brought to
punishment for treason, but that ting chief
of traitors should be tried it was against
these leading offenders that he would have
them act, and punish the principals and not
the tools. 1t had been decided that such
offenders must be tried in Virginia. At the
there had been mucileomplaint of the
tardiucss shown in bringing them TO trial.
The DELAY had been unavoidable. There was
no need Of further delay however, and he
hoped the time had come when it would be
shown here that treason was held as n crime
meritipg the highest punishment. He
urged that the most of the peerleo Of the
State who sided with rebellion ant9took up
arms could not be held accountable for trea
sou. Those who had imposed upon the
eredulity and ignorance OF the masses, aud
incitei them to rebel against the GpFern-
ment. he would have punished. There was
no obstacle in the way Of bringing indiet.

lion. parele1 prisoners as well as the I'M

Judge Underwood announced that he
thought Justice Chase would he in attend.
aaee to preside in JuHe. The grand jury
then retired and on Thursday brought in an
indictment a%gainst JEFF. Davis, when Judge
Underwood adjourned theeenrt TO Richmond.
The judiciary committee. who have been
making inquiries as to what evidence exists
in regard 70 JEFF. Davis completely in the
assassination Of Lincoln, have been unable
to get any response from the Secretary Of
State showing the reasons Tor the iitnaous
proclamation Of May. 1865. Il is undor-
atood that the committee will call upon the
President before making > report to the
