A REMARKABLE TRIAL OF SKnL.-The Paris correspondent of the London Adre,- Hse1 has 8 story of remarkable trial of skill at the Exposition. The French pick pockets, jealous of the of the superior adroitness of the theives from over the channel, challenged their rivals to a pro- fessional conflict Accordingly seven Eng fish and seven French thieves started on their predatory expedition through the ex- hibition, and agreed to meet at a cafe, or rather at restauroteur's, where that they had ordered a supper, to be "stood' by tie vanquished. They met at the appointed hour, when the British party triumphantly exhibited forty-fve watches and nine porte monnaies, whereas the French tyros in the noble art could display but ten watch es, three portemonnaies, and half dog en handkerchiefs, ''small deer, which are disdained by the professional pickpockets. The Frenchmen magnanimously acknowl- edge themselves vanquished, and agreed to recognize the superiority of the victors in the form most pleasing to them by stan ding half dozen of champagne, followed by bowls of blazing punch in quick success sion. Then came Britains hour of humili- ation. Her sons fellunder the table, when their hosts eased them of their plunder, and retired in triumph with the forty-fve watches and the purses, and, moreover, left the walters instructions to apply for payment of the bill to the gentleman up stairs on the floor.

It is the fashion in certain circles to de- nounce Bakers narrative as unworthy of credit can only judge it by the passa- ges which go over ground with which am familiar; and by this rule it is in the main to be trusted His startling account of the Presidents relations with the infamous
 ssMrs Cobb" is correct All the leading statements l know to be true, and have not doubt the others are. That the Pres ident granted pardons for weeks and months together upon the application of woman of ill reputation, and whose character was known to him, cannot be denied. No one supposes that he shared her fees, for I have never seen any evidence of his dishonesty: but he is coarse, low, and passionate man. Baker is not model gentleman: but he is very good witness against An drew Johnson. The nation certainly has cause for happiness in the thought that the time is not far off when this singular spe- cimen of Southern "white trash'' will be permitted to retire to his native noun. tains. - Washington Cores.

SUMMER REsoRTs.--From long article ill Saturdays New York Euening Post, in reference to the watering places which will be patronized by the New Workers this summer, we extract the following in refer ence to those in this city and other sec tions of the State:
 New Haven, New London, Guilford and Branford all have first class hotels The Wadawanuck House at Stonington, under the management of MT. Alvin Peavey, is one of the finest houses on the coast, with unlimited facilities for fishing, bathing, sailing and driving. MT. Crocker will open the Pequot House, near New Lon don, June 10. It is delightful place, and manager Stuart, MT. Edwin Booth and other New Workers have summer cottages close by. The Messrs. Norris, late of Wau- regan, will open the Nawyaug House, at Mystic Island next month, and the Waure- gan will be kept by MT. Jenness who was proprietor of the Rye Beach Hotel last season. Inland, the Howard House, at Colchester, offers summer accommodations in one of the prettiest and healthiest towns in New England. The we'll known McDonough House, at Middletown, the '' Forrest City, is generally filled with fam lilies from New York and Boston all sum- 1uer. 1uere IS new ana gOOd summer hotel at Essex, and another, the Gelston House, at Goodspeed's Landing, on the Connecticut river; and the new and superb boats just put on the New York and Hart ford line will make Sound and river travel this season unusually attractive. Litch- field is becoming very popular resort for New York people, and Cornwall and other attractive places near and on the Housa- tonic river are making tourists acquainted with some of the most beautiful scenery in New England. Most of these inland re- sorts in Connecticut offer the inducements of much lower prices than obtained at the larger and more fashionable places.

New Haven Palladium.
 The speech of John Stuart Mill in the House of Commons in favor of the amend ment to the Reform bill giving women the suffrage, is remarkable both for it's ability and for the fact that it was uttered at all. We ment would have been the last place in which such proposition would have been made. The whole movement in favor of female suffrage in this country has been so con- ducted that-whether justly or unjustly, it is needless to say-an odor of impractica- bility has hung about it. Sensible people, so called, have always regarded it as akin to spiritualism and communism, and host
