TIE New York Hrolds Paris cor
respondent says there is much specula-
ton in London and Paris concerning II
private audience extended by the Empe-
ror to one Col. Fuller, editor of the
London Cosmopolitan, n northern man,
who did not hesitate to declare his
sympathics with the South, and who Ia
bored in her behalf to the best of his
ability, in every way an avOwed and
open supporter of Imperial Institutions
in France and Mexico. A variety of
opinions are expressed rs to the subject
Of his interview with the Emperor.
Those who look upon the matter in Il
suspicious light imagine that the Empc-
ror, in view Of the possibility Of Il
war with the United States, resulting
from his prolonged stay in Mexico,
wanted to seek the Colonel merely to
ask his opinion as to what course the
Southern States would adopt in such
an event, and whether they would rise
again with the aid of France and strike
another blow for independence and the
restoration of slavery. Others think
the interview is for the free interchange
of sentiment rs to the best mode of
treating French and Mexican Imperial
ism in the columns of the Cosmopoli-
tan. At any rate he was honored next
morning with IN interview with Drouyn
de LIluys.

WHEAT CRop.-We have reason to hope,
says the Lebanon Herald from limited
observation on last Sunday in the
neighborhood of Taylorsville, and
thence to Lebanon, that the damage to
the wheat crop is not so great as we
have been led to believe. We noticed
several large fields which will make
average yields. If nothing else hap
pens to damage it we are sure that
there will be plenty made for home
consumption.

THE WAY TO SELECT FLoUR.-In Sc.
lecting flour, first look to the color. If
it is white, with Il yellowish, straw-col-
ored tint, buy it. If it is white with a
blush cast, or white speclls in it, refuse
it. Second, examine its adhesiyeness
wet and knead little of it between
your fingers: if it works soft and
sticky it is poor. Third, throw little
lump of dried flour against a smooth
surface: if it falls like powder it is bad.
Fourth. squeeze some Of the flour tight
" in your hand: if it retains the shape
given by the pressure, that, too, is q
good sign. 1t is safe to buy flour that

fsOnOrtO Whom Honor is Due.

From the Metropolitan Record.l
We are all Americans now. Hence
forth We are to have no North, no
South, no East, no W est, but one com
mon country, in which each shall be
interested in whatever affects the whole
and all sOtcitous for whatever con-
Germs each individual. Our interests,
our glory, and our fame are to be ma
tional Such, at least, is the theory OF
the apostles Of the new faith. 1t is
beautiful; and were it not that man is
imperfect it might be possible. How
ever, we are not entirely bad; there is
some good in us, and if we encourage
and cultivate it, and give it way, much
may be done towards the realization of
the proposed good fellowship. We
cannot agree upon the amount or kind
of honor to be given to the living, be-
cause no man can he called truly great,
no mans history can be written until
he is dead. There are so many slips
between the cup and the lip, that
many men who now stand so high,
that no one is near enough to them to
be called second, may few years
hence have none to do them reverence.
But the dead are safe. Their record
is made up. We may praise or con-
demn and none shall gainsay us.
Their living friends may differ con-
cerning the merit of their different
acts, but no one can justly assail their
motives or deny them fair, honest,
charitable construction. 1t is said
that the war has settled the question OF
the right of secession, the right of one
portion of our country to seperate
from the rest and set up a government
of its own. Hence it follows that
during and previous to the war the
question was an open one, and a man
might and should take the affirmative
or the negative according to the best
of ihis judgment, and act upon his de
cisiOn accorIieg to the dictates OF his
conscience. We grant this to those
who differ from us upon the great
questions for the solution of which the
late bloody war was wagcd, and grant
ing it to others claim it for ourselves
The North, rich, prosperous, and

The New Orleans Mayoralty and
H the President,

! -
The New York HeralWs Washington
special gives the following facts re
garding the reported Presidents inter
ference in the municipal election o
New Orleans. Mr.. Kennedy, the pres
cnt Mayor, telegraphed to the Presi
dent on the 10th inst, expressing
doubts AS to the fitness of his successor
elect, Mr.. Monroe, and inquiring wheth
er or not he should yield the success
sion. The President replied by tcle
graph, rs follows:
Il have no information to give il
gard to surrendering the Mayoralty o,
New Orleans to the person elected to
fill the position. | have no informa
ton showing the election was not regu
lar, or the individual who has beer
elected cannot qualify. In the absence
of such proof, the presumption is that
the election has been according to law
and the person elected can take the
oath of allegiance and loyalty re
quired." ..
Mr.. Monroe seems to have known
that efforts were being made to keel
him out of office, and also tclcgraphe(l
the President that he had been regular.
ly elected Mayor OF New Orleans, and
that he was loyal to the Union, and as
enthusiastic endorser of the recon,
struction policy Of the President as any
living man, and can qualify according
to law. The President replied to this
by repeating the telegram sent to Ken
nedy, thus leaving the matter where ii
begins, viz: the people of New Orleans
and the civil and military laws that
govern such cases.

THE Montgomery Gala. Mail gives
the following good advice to young
men in that section of the country:
So far from there being nothing for
young men to do now, there never was
so much before. We want mechanics.
We want men who will take hold of the
plane or trowel, men who are moi
afraid ofbeing soiled by the dust ofthe
forge or the machine shop. The young
men cannot all be clerks. There is not
room enough in the country for them
when they all grow to be merchants
But there is room enough for any mum
ber of sturdy mechanics. Take hold
then, young men, and learn a good
trade. There is no disgrace in it. Bt
something, be usetul, be man.

Soon to be hid IN the dust of the grave

Pale are the lips OF delicate mould
Somebody's darling Is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue-vcined brow
Brush his wandering waves of gold;
Cross his hands ON his bosom now
Somebody's darling Is still and cold.
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur a prayer soft and low
One bright curl from It's fair mates take
They were somebody's pride you know,
Somebody's hand hath rested there;
Was 1t Il mothers, soft and white?
Or have the lips of sister fair
Been baptized in their waves Of light?
God knows best! Hehas somebody's love
Somebody's heart cnshrined him there
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn. on the wings of prayer
Somebody wcpt when he marched away.
Looking so handsome brave and grand
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's watching and waiting for him,
Yearning to hold him again to her heart ;
And there he lies with his blue eyes dim,
And the smiling. clildlke lips apart.

Pausing to drop on his grave Il tear;
