Trouble Among the French Students

Itappears that seven Oft the Law and Medi-
cal Students Of Paris, attended the recent
Students, Congress at Liege, composed ofthe
vouth of Belgium. of the rcddeSt stripe. Upon
their return, the Minister of Public Instruction
formally announced that, in consequence Of so
doing, they would not be permitted to continue
their studies at Paris, and that the Imperial
Colleges of France would only be open to them
for a certain time. This announcement at once
threw the Quarter Latin in revolt. Turbulent
assemblages took place in the Place dn Fan
tbeon. and the lectures Of the Professors OF
Law and Medicine were SO Interrupted thaI
their delivery became impossible. As many
As thirty arrests took place in one day. Inc
colleges were closed for a day, and an edie'
issued that no student should enter the hall
without his ticket, received from the Govern
ment-a badge of his title 10 government IN
struction. The scene that followed Is thus
described in a letter from Paris:
Yesterday morning the halls Of the SarbonnC
were opened the students entered in full force anu
took their seats lecturer arose, but was suenceo
by storm OF cries such as only young men ana en-
thusiastic lungs can utter second essayed 10 spear
when student rose respectfully and SAID, we nave
no intention of listening 70 lectures while hve OF our
comrades are subjected 70 a most unjust ana arr
trary infringement Of their rights The same scene
occurred in the Medical Lecture-ro0m, anu tue
government now finds itself at issue with the UNI
yersity youth OF France. IL is on the very horns OF
most perpexing dilemma-can neither advance
nor recede."
The N0RiteUr ofthe 2Sth December publishes
the decision of the Supreme Council of Public
Instruction on the subject, with a long pream-
bic, setting forth its reasons. 1t confirms the
decision Of the Paris Academy but the term
Of exclusion from the Paris Academy is in tho

two years ive-REY, FAFARGE, JACLARA, Cas-
Sc and LOssoS are excluded from all othe
academies throughout the empire for tw,
years, and REWARD for one year.
When students take a political shoot the
occasion more trouble and embarrassment tina
any other class. 1t is difficult to tell how 1
deal with them. Their susceptibility, enthu
sjasm, and recklessness incite them to extrem
courses, while their tender years and honora
BILE impulses excite a sympathy that plead
strongly for mercy. They are apt to constru

Whilst these premises were on fire. the United Fire

the orders of their officers, and assembled the ladder

EMIGRATION To TIE SOUTH.-lt IS stated
that there are at present agents in New
York. saws the Herald of the 18th, from
various parts ofthe South, who have been sent
here by land owners and corporations in the
southern States, for the purpose Of inducing
emigrants from Europe to go to the SOUTH
Poor and destitute emigrants are furnished
with free passage, and during the past few
weeks several patches of emigrants, mostly
Germans and Swedes, have been forwarded to
various points in the South-to Memphis,
Charleston and Savannah. A party Of about
ity emigrauts, who had just landed, were
forwarded to the South on Saturday last, and
about one hundred and fifty left New York
for the same destination the Saturday previous.
The Southern agents hope to divert emigration
and travel from the West to the South, on ac-
count of the high rates Of fare on the Western
railroads. which, it seems, were raised TO the
present high standard during the late war
The poorer classes of the emigrants arc unable
to pay these high rates. Quite a number Of
Gcrmans-mechanics artisans, walters, &c.
| have recently gone from New York to New Or
leans. The emigration to the South has only
lust been commenced, and, by the aid of the
above mentioned Southern emigration scheme
| is expected soon to increase.
/ The direction taken by the Foreigners who
arrived in New York during the months of No
ycmber and December, is matter OF some Gu
rioSitv. While ,326 went to Massachusetts
1887 TO Pennsylvania, 2,3iS to Ohio and 3,O3(
to Illinois, only l2O started for Virginia, 29j

land, 5 for North Carolina, SIS for South Caro-
lima. 5 for Georgia, Is for Alabama, for Mis-

WITHDRAWAL OF Troops FROM THE SorTH.-
The President and General GRANT treat with
proper indifference the attempt OF the House
OF Representatives to take command Of the
army. That body, it will be remembered,
adopted resolution, some ten or twelve days
ago, declaring 1t inexpedient to diminish the
number Of troops now sucking their thumbs in
Southern garrisonS, but the constitutional head
of the army takes such intrusive advice at
what it is worth, and goes on withdrawing the
troops-thus at the same time diminishing the
size of the army and carrying out its pacific
policy for southern reconstruction and self
government. \ few days since We had the
news that the greater part OF the large military
force. black and white, which has beenfor some
time past in the State Of Texas, was ordered
TO be mustered out of service and again on
Saturday last orders were received at Fortress
Monroe to muster out all the volunteer troops
in that department-the carrying out Of which
order was commenced on the same day.

the Judiciary Committee, has been presented
bv Mr.. Trumbull to the Senate. 1t provides
for the continuance of the bureau, and its ex-

8 900. 900 acres of good land. Each family or

The ssPRETTY WAITER GIRLS" IN DANGER
The e. pretty waiter eiri'' question is engag-
inc the attention Of the New York Legislature.
The practice is regarded as 4 scandal and an
domination. A bill with the following pro-
visions is about being introduced into the Lee
yi>lature:
l. That no concert saloon shall be allowed to
exist is this State which employs girls to wait
upon customers.
,. That in no place where music is used in
any way, shall girls be employed by the estab-
liShment to sit among the attendants.
3. That in no drinking saloon Of any kind
shall females be publicly employed.
4. That dance-houSes must not be tolerated
by the police
A writer in the New York World thinks that
irthe pretty waiter girls go to Wort, in earnest,
aud with true female tact, they will be enabled
{, create an interest that will defeat the meas
IRE. lie relates the following as illustrating
their influence in such affairs:
In connection with this subject l am remind
ed of the means adopted not many winters
since TO defeat q bill of somewhat similar ma
cure. The measure having been introduced,
shortly after there appeared upon the scene
dozen ''pretty waiter girls" all arrayed for the
ing OF war. These young ladies put up at
house without prctenSiOnS as hotel but that
only served their purpose better. 1t was not
long before several keen tclOwS-members OF
the IIou>c-fOund out the new attraction, and
,or u day or two, Tom, Dick aud Harry, were
constant attendants at the aforesaid hotel
Each man pridcd himself upon possessing a
great secret.
Finally a sleigh ride was arranged between
tvo honorableS and two Of the girls, and away
went the party at the appointed hour in gallant
,tylc towards Troy. At O'Clock supper was
lp he ready at a certain establishment near
Albany, but what was the aStOnishment Of the
last couple, upon being escorted to the supper
room, 10 find eleven other couples, the males
gll legislators and the females all pretty waiter
girls. All religiouSly promised to keep the
secret.
Next night another party went out, and with
the same result, and 50 it was managed, until
I'm one way or another enough members had
been caught in the net TO insure the peaceful
exit of the bill.
But the secret leaked out, and gentleman,
who had evidently not been caught, introduced
resolution of enquiry. The utmost indigua-
,iou was expressed that only common rumor
should be the basis OF such resolution the
proposition was voted down; legislative virtue
was sustained; the girls went home and every
luan after that was afraid to speak OF the
Waiter Girls Bill for fear he would be SuS
pccted with the rest.

The NATIONAL DEBT.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun says in his
letter of the 18th: &" The great bug-bear Of
the day is reputation of the Federal debt
Though there is little cause of apprehension of
this disaster, yet the House at the opening Of
the session, guarded against it by declaratory
resolution which was adopted with only one
dissenting voice. But an alarm has been
raised, not so much on account OF any fear that
the South will come into Congress with force
equal to the task, and disposition to use their
strength, as the greater and newer dread of Il
rising faction in the North. There is said 10 be
an organization now in embryo, for making re-
pudiation political issue in the North. 1t
commences in an influential quarter, where
political measures Of moment have before
arisen. .t ~ .e.t"
