ing Fourth of July is already agitating
the minds of municipal authorities in
various parts of the country. Many
inland towns are talking of having "a
good old fashioned celebration" such
as they used to have before the war,
when u spreadeagle address by some
ambitious orator, "a general training" of
militia, n Sunday School procession,
gingerbread aud small beer were the
order of the day, and fire-crackers,
squibs, rockets and turpentine balls the
programme for the evening.
The London Spectator says: eve
have heard the opinion of one of the
most eminent of our living physicians,
that one of the new lady physicians is
doing, in the most admirable manner,
work which medical men would never
even have had the chance of doing.
Mothers bring their children to her in
hundreds to consult her on really iuI-
portaut points, on which they freely ad-
nit that they would never have thought
Of taking advice at all had she not been
accessible TO them. And we should not
be surprised TO find that even in law, as
certainly In literature and art, special
fields of exertiOn quite consistent with
feminine instincts will spring up, If
they are only looked for" -.
In a certain school In Springfield,
Mass. the lady teacher, few days
since, had occasion to punish one of the
little boys for using profaue language.
There being knot hole in the floor,
she conceived the idea to make him
think he had got to stand near by with
a pair of tonGs aud watch until he
caught rat that should come up from
below. StatiOning him, she gave him
strict iniunctons TO remain until he ac-
coMplished the feat, calculating, of
course, after he had stood there couple
of hours, to send him to his seat. Judge
of her surprise when, two minutes
after. he fastened the tOnGs to genu
inc live fellow of the rat kind, with
enormous whiSkers and tail, aud hold
ing him up, exclaimed, "By Cd I've
caught himw
II one can live expensively, he can
also live cheaply, in Paris. The cores
pondent of the New York Times tells
how it can be done, thus: "For break
fast your bowl of cafe Gu LGit and roll
need cost you but six cents. AT noon
you may have bowl of soup, u plate
of meat and potatoes or other veget-
ables, more bread than you want and a
glass of wine for fifteen cents. At six
O'Clock you can have your dinner,
soups, meats, vegetables, dessert, and
half bottle of wine at from thirty to
forty cents, or you may repeat the mid
day meal. You can live for thirty
cents day, or lodging included for
fifty, though not at the Grand Hotel"
a number of ex-Federal officers and
soldies formerly residing at the North,
but now settled near Demopolis, Ala,
publish statement in which they de-
clare Northern men are safe from inter-
ference there, although no troops have
been stationed within fifty miles of
that point for a long time. "None of
u.s." they say, "have suffered personal
violence or insult; but, on the con-
ira ~, We have been uniformly treated
with courtesy and respect by all classes
OF citizens here" They add sit is our
opinion that the lives, persons and
property OF Northern men here are
fully as safe as those of Southern peo-
ple."
The rinderpest, that object OF terror
and alarm in Europe among all friends
of agricultura interests, and of anx-
iety and fear in this country, was be-
lieved to have been thoroughly con-
quered. Nothing had been heard of
it for several months, and the farmers
were congratulating themselves that it
had died out. AS in this country we
| had statutes in operation intended to
prevent the introduction of the pest
among us, either by means of living
animals or by the diseased skins OF
those which died from the malHdy, we
were commencing to consider whether
they should not be- reckoned among
! the obsolete ws.zButsO content
ment is fudely inteFfered with by the
announcement that; this nalady has
| again made its appearance IN, England.
1t has progressed so far that the 0tten-
tion56f the Ministry has been INVITED to
it, and orders in Council have, been
issued to authorize whatever measures
may be necessary 10 prevent the disease
from Spreading. .-
The Fenian trials In Dublin have
brought out some interesting facts as to
the magnitude Of the intended opera
tions in Ireland. In Dublin The men
numbered from Il, 900 to Is. 900, and the
arms of all sorts among then1snumber-
I ed but 5000! & Probably the rifles pos
sessed byrthe entire force IiIdn NUM-
Der 500. In Cork the proportions were
still more preposterous, being 500
weapons to 20, 600 men! And OF these
| ], 800 the vast majority were pixies.

I ask why the Fenian rising failed, or
/ why the insurrectiOnary parties were
unable to stand their ground against
the police and the soldiers. The Eu-
glish authorities were perfectly informs
ed US to the intentions of the FenianS
through traitors who were at the same
time trusted officers in the Fenian cause,
and drawing pay as such.
The answero of Juarez to our Govern
ment, regarding Maxtmilian, is not
considered satisfactory either by Mr..
Seward or the Austrian minister 1t
will be remembered that MaximIlian
Is the brother of the Austrian ruler,
and hence the interest taken in his fate
by the Minister from that country al

Macmillan Is evidently In tronble.
We really hope that he is safe,
and that he knows where he is, for no
body else does. 1t may be brave to
fight on, long after all hope of keeping
his imaginary crown in Mexico has
vanished, but 1t is hardly praiseworthy
nevertheless. 1t is inevitable that he
must leave, and it would be more
graceful for him to leave willingly and
decently, than to be Kicked out. His
career has been indeed a pitiable one
He went to Mexico, doubtless, with
bright hopes and lofty aspirations; he
meant to restore order and peace to a
most distracted and unhappy county.
Without doubt, his rule, while it lasted
