Views OF prcsit.cn. johnson.

President Johnson said, on the
2Sth, to distinguished Senators, that
the agitation of the negro franchise
question in the District of Columbia
at this time was mere entering wedge
to the agitation Of the question
throughout the States. It was i'll
timed, uncalled-for and calculated to
do great harm. He believed it would
cause great trouble, and engender
contention and strife between the two
races. 1t would lead to war between
the two raccs-a war which would re-
suit in the injury to both, and cause
the certain destruction of the negro
population. Precedence, he thought,
should be given to more important
and urgent NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. upon
which was essential for the restoration
OF the Union, to secure peace to the
country and prosperity to the people.

Price OF Wood i'm co,umb;,

j. Wood Davidson, the sContribu-
torial" editor Of the Yorkville En-
qu're'', lets off the following squib in
relation to new thermometer which
has been discovered, to suit the lati-
tude of Columbia:
"We have new thermometer in
Columbia price of fire-wood. 1t
is entertaining to consult this instru-
ment. On nice, dry, warm day,
the wood hauler tarries long about
the streets with his load; and if you
ask him the price Of his little load,
he will answer hesitatingly and de-
precatingly, Two dollars and q
quarter. Next day the weather is
colder, the wind is brisk and there
are indications of rain. The same
boy, with a similar load, answers to
your inquiry about his price, Three
dollars and half Next day, it is
cold and raining, and the same boy
will scarcely stop when you accost
him, and answers tartly, -Four dol
lars and o quarter always a frac-
tion.) Next day it is sleeting, and
desperately bad in general. The boy
AYERS that his load is engaged at five
dollars and three quarters!
''Such is our new thermometer
The price of wood indicates both
thermomeric and barometric condi-
tions of the atmosphere.
Such, we suppose, is life in other
places, and may be everywhere; and
it is all very funny-to those who have
greenbacks.'

PARIS FASHIONS FOR JANUARY

PARIS FASHIONS FOR JANUARY
Paletots trimmed with fur over the

icularly fashionable, and are the most
striking feature of the winter modes,
although they do not exclude the
wear of shawls, or rich black velvet
mantles ornamented with passemen-
terie.
Bonnets tend to increase in size,
and to advance slightly in front.
This advancement is counterbalanced
by the application behind lin the

velvet bonnets, trimmed with swan
down, are very elegant, and meet

Some OF our young elegaateS, who
affect desire to initiate certain points
of the military costume, have lately
appeared in the Champs Elysees and
on other public promenades with q

round the ankle, and fastened by a
black cloth gaiter cf unexceptionable
cut. This pantaloon was the almost
necessary consequence of the three
cornered hat, which is still seen occa-
sionally in the Bois de Boulogne,
where it is donned by some of the
youthful carriage-folk.

PRoDIGALITY AND ExTRAvAGNCE OF
THE SOUTH. From the following,
which we find in q late number Of
the Macon journal aud Messenger, it
would appear that the reign of ex-
travagance is commencing in the
South. 1t says:
The very idea Of economy, and even
of regulating expenses by income,
seems to have departed from among
us. The opening of Northern store
houses to our astonished vision seems
to have run everybody crazy, the poor
as we'll as the rich. Women dress as
if they were locomotive signs for the
milliners' shops, and men smoke
costly cigars, drink fifteen dollar
brandy, and drive fast horses, as if
they were loaded down with riches,
and had but short time to live. and
nobody to leave it to. we shall wake
up from this -tielusion before many
months shall have p2ssed over our
heads; and when the crash comes,
what an awful fall it will be!

THE New YORK HERALD A Rich
mond paper states that among the
untraceable rumors of the week, is the
proposed early retirement from the
position of managing editor of the
New York Herald of Mr.. Hudson,
who has occupied that position for Il
number Of Years. Failing health is
assigned us the reason. Mr.. H. is
considered one of the best, if not tile
best, newspaper man in the city, and
the Herald's pecuniary success is
mainly owing to his capable manage
ment, which even the indiscretions of
the proprietor have not been able to
counteract. MI Putnam, financial
editor of the He1alL, and Stephen b.
Fisle, dramatist, and present con-
dnctor of the Leader, are spoken Of
as his successors.

A couple in Litchfeld County,
Conn, lived together for ten years,
supposing themselves married. Diff
ficulties having arisen, one applied to
the court for divorce. Upon inves-
tigation it was found out that they
had never been legally married. Like
sensible people, they gave up the idea
of divorce and were married.
