"A new caricaturist, by the name of Gill,
has appeared in Paris His drawings appear
in La Llme. Under the French law of libel,
few persons will venture to publish carica-
ture without the consent of the parties, lest
they should be prosecuted for an attack upon
the consideration" due to every citizen. Ac-
cordingly, GilPs caricatures of Lachurd, Emile
de Girardin, Jules Favre, etc., are accom-
panied by Autographed reproductions, which
add greatly to the value of the pictures, of
letters authorizing the publication of carica-
lures. La Lune lately applied to M. de
Lamartine for permission to publish carica-
ture of him. The poet wrote the following
answer, which seems to show an extraordinary
sensitiveness:-
"However great my gratitude for the blogra-
phical article of which you speak, cannot
face divine, which, although it might not offend
the man, would be an offense against Nature,
and turn humanity into derision. l have
already told you, and now repeat it, that my
consent would be false maguanimIty, which
would cOuntenance in regard to others a like
outrage in the dignity of Gods creatures /
will not be an accompltce of such deed. told
you when you did me the honor to call upon
me that my face was common property just as
the sun and the river but that, such as it is, I
will not voluntarily profane 1t, for it represents
q man. and is a present from God
Receive, etc, LAMARTINE.

TIE TRAITOR CHIEF 1TLARGE.

BFom he NJ Y Evening Iost.
Our telegraphic columns yesterday announced
that Jefferson Davis, Instead of being put TO the
experience of turn in Libby Prison where
IN the days OF his treason, he tortured TO death
men better than himself, has been suffered To-
go at large, without even the form of a legal
Inquiry into his conduct. The clause of Inc
Constitution which defines treason against the
country, and the laws of Conges which
prescribe lhe proper punishment of treason
are made a dead letter For all that
appears, the crime of treason is hence.
s3st I99t5 as safe to commit, in the United
states as peculation is in New York
city. This is the construction whicn is
Iorced upon the case by the fact that the first
use winch the bonded traitor purposes to make
OF MS enlargement is to 90 at once to a foreign
country, beyond the reach of our laws IT
would be some satisfaction If we should find
shat he has himself "a sufficient comprehension
OF What is due to his cOuntryfsalaws to remain
beyond their reach, thus making the only
exile. 1t might make be tier inheritance for
MS ms posterily, If he should leave behind him
@ @Inls testimony to the criminality OF treason
AS he leaves the country with the conni-
vance OF MS bondsmen, 1t is plain that they
consider the bailment mere matter Of form
a farce-and that they have no expectation of
being called upon to pay the hundred thousand
dollars as the ransom OF q traitor. Their de-
sire to sign the bond is only for the sake Of
having their names enrolled for pOsterity as
those who gladly did all in their power to pro
cure his exemption from the penalty of the law
Let them have their reward.
To Mr.. Greeley was accorded the proud salts
list of bondsmen. He doubtless looks upon 1t
as the elimination of his long-continued
efforts in behalf of the Rebellion. II will COM
pensate all his disappointments in regard TO
the payment for the slaves, the surrender of
the South to the Rebellion, the peace negotia-
tions in Canada, the permanent recognition of
the Government at Richmond. He could not
do what he would, but he has gladly done
what he could. He has at least preserved mis-
consistency to the end. If he could not COM
pass the overthrow of law by the force of the
Rebels, he has achieved it's practical abroga-
tion by the voluntary act OF our own officials.
We will not rob him of his laurels nor antici-
pate the verdict of posterity as to his merits.
Mr. Davis, as we must now call him, is to take
R"progress" through the North, in the enjoy
ment of his freedom, and doubtless under the
escort of his Northern friends, his bondsmen,
and others. The hand -shalkings, the congratu-
laJions, the triumphant cheers by which he
was surrounded at Richmond, as he stepped
forth from the custody of the law, are to be re-
peated, we suppose at Baltimore. Philadelphia,
and New York. And the SKY overhead snail
echo to all nations the proclamation that
"Thus it shall be done to the man whom the
United States advance to honor for his treason"

THE CHAMELEON.

CHANGES OF COLOR AND MANNER OF TAKING FOOD.
Mr.. Couch, an English naturalist, had ex-
Cellent opportunities for observing the changes
of color and modes of taking food in the cha
meleOn. The one in his possession measured
ten inches in length, of which the tail was
four and half inches. Its eyes were black
and lively, and the pupil deeply seated in a
hole scarcely larger than would be made with
a pin.
The movement of each eye was independent
of the opposite, and they were rarely directed
at one object except when the creature was
intent on sezing prey. The movements were
very slow and deliberate, especially when on
the ground It's color was subject to continual
change, but if a creature that rarely retains
the same hue for ten minutes together can be
said to possess one which may be termed its
own, it was dusky brown, or almost black,
nearly approaching to the darkness of SCOT.
The light was of more importance to it than
the heat, and when basking in the sun, even
the mouth was opened to receive the intlu-
ence. A dingy black was its common color
when thus enjoying itself.
Both sides did not always adopt the same
eOlors, for while the one towards the light was
sometimes dark-brown, the other side would
perhaps be lght-yellow, with white spots. On
one occasion, when the stick on which it rested
was touched gently, without waking it, it
became instantly covered all over with minute
brown spots. On another, when the color was
altogether yellow, a book was held so as to
cast shade on the anterior part of the body,
while a candle was held within four inches of
the hindmost portion and then presently the
illuminated part changed to light brown,
while the shaded portion remained as before,
and when the screen was removed the exact
limit of the shade was visible.
The general belief in its faculty to live with
out food or drink, and to subsist wholly upon
air, was proved to be incorrect 1t required
water about once in fortnight, and was very
fond of flies. 1t not only took all that came in
its way, but would seize them as fast as chill
dren would bring them and it even became so
familiar with the act as to take them repeat
edly from the hand. 1t was thus easy to mea-
sure the distance to which it was able to dart
its tongue in seizing its prey, which was found
to be six inches--or rather more than the
length of its body. The fly would adhere to
the tongue by means of tenacious mucus
with which it was covered. On the approach
of cold weather its activity was greatly les
sened, and it slept greater portion of the
time. The sunshine would always reanimate
it, but artificial heat produced little effect
It's color was varied, and when at last it was
found dead, the general hue of its surface was
dark,

AUSTRIAN COURT ETIQUETTE IN THE SEVEN
FRENTH CENTURY.-A very curious regulation
of the Chamberlain's Office, bearing date 1924,
touching the conduct to be observed by cadets
who were invited to dine with an Austrian
Archduke, runs as fOllows:-
His Imperial and Royal Highness having
deigned to invite several officers to dine at his
table, and having had frequent opportunities
of observing that the greater part of these
officers behaved with the strictest courtesy
and good breeding towards each other, and
generally conducted themselves like true and
worthy cavaliers, nevertheless deems it ad-
visable that the less experienced cadets should
have their attention directed to the following
code of regulations
I To present their respects to his Imperial
and Royal Highness on their arrival; to come
neatly dressed, coat and boots, and not enter
tbe room in haledrunken condition.
9. At table they are not to tilt up theil
chairs or rock themselves therein, nor stretch
their legs at full length.
& Nor drink at each mouthful, for If they
do. they will get tipsy too soon; nor empty tht
Goblet to the extent of more than one-hal
after each dish, and they should wipe the
mouth and mustaches in a cleanly manner.
A. Neither are they to thrust their hands
into the dishes, nor to throw the bones uhdel
& Nor to lick their fingers, nor to expecto
rate in their plates, nor to wipe their noses OF
the tablecloth.
& Nor to drink so beastially as to fall from
their chairs and make themselves incapable o
walking straight.
