An Imperlalist in Congress.

-s All history has shown that the step
from anarchy to despotism is easy
and natural. Anarchy is the result
of disrespect of law, of mental con-
dition that fails to perceive the i'm
portance of order. 1t i, in nations
the malady which in il lividuals is
called insanity. Its characteristic
symptom is ideal disorder. 1t is
lack of the power of mental control.
Politicians whose minds have lost
their balance, whose reasoning pro-
cesses. are not guided by fixed princi-
pies, who start from no established
basis and move not in obedience to
law, who measure their own ideas by
no standard, and whose minds are all
tore up, are already in the condition
called anarchy. 1t is natural that
the idea of such persons should run
in the direction Of despotism"
1t is perfectly natural, therefore,
that Mr.. Halbert T.. Paine, member
of Congress from Wisconsin, should
propose, in the House of Represen-
tnt;"cs, bill t. re-organize the mill
tia in the seve.a' States upon g plan
so strikingly analogous to the dos
potic military system Of imperial
France that, had it been proposed in
the French chambers, the proposer
could not have failed to be set down
as the most undoubtcd OF imperial
lists. The proposition is no more nor
less than to organize y grand national
army to support the political supre-
macy Of the reiSning dynasty. It
provides for enrolling all the able
bodied men over eighteen years old,
and for "a national guard 81 two
regiments IN each Congressional Dis
trict, to be oiTicered by the Cover
nors of States, bat subject to the
orders of Congress. And ''no State
shall be permitted 10 organize any
.uther troops"
The measure, ni course, is uucon-
stitutional-if it were not, il would
not be ''radical.- But it is more
than that. 1t is ~ scheme looking
more directly to the overthrow OF the
Republican liberties Of America, and
to the laying of the foundation of an
empire, than any other that has been
broached in the American Congress-
The present Emperor Of Trance
vaultcd from presidency to throne
on the shoulders of military organi-
zation precisely similar to that which
Mr.. Halbert +. Paine, of Wisconsin,
proposed to establish in this repub-
lie, and that military organization in
France is to-day all that makes
France an empire. ii Mr.. Halbert
Z. Paine's bill to reorganize the mi
litia should become the law Of Ane-
RIGA, Americans will not have long to
wait to behold 1.-The man on horse
back" and to witness in America the
transformation which occurred when
France went to sleep Republic and
woke up an Empire.

The BIGGEST YEr.-The London

MASONRY OF THE HUMAN FoRM.- =

MASONRY OF THE HUMAN FoHM.-
The proportions OF the human figure
is six times the length of the foot
Whether the form be slender Or
plump, the rule holds good; any de-
Walton from it is departure from
the highest beauty in proportion
The Greeks made all their statues ac-
cording to this rule. The face, from
the highest point of the forehead,
where the hair begins, to the chin, is
one-tenth of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the middle
finger, is the same. From the top of
the chest to the highest point in the
forehead is q seventh. Ii the length
of the face, from the roots Of the
hair to the chin, be divided into
three equal parts, the first division
determines the place where the eye
brows meet, and the second the place
Of the nostrils. The height, from
the feet to the top Of the head, is the
same as the distance from the cxtrc-
nifty Of the fingers when the arms
are extended.

The FENIANs. s.-As an evidence Of
the rottenness of Fcnian affairs in
Ireland, the speech Of a Mr.. Arch
deacon, at a Fenian meeting in New
York, may be taken. He said that
he had only lately arrived from Ire
land, and he assured them that gil
gantic as were the frauds practiced
here, they were nothing to what had
been done in Ireland He believed
the whole of the Fenian leaders there
to be traitors to the cause, and in the
pay OF the British Government. Men
the most incompetent, some of them
even imbccile, we're 1T the head Of
affairs.

SLAVERY IN BRAZIL. time
ago, an association was formed, with
committees in Paris and London, to
promote the universal abolition of
slavery. The first care of the com
mittees was to send addresses to the
Emperor Of Brazil and the Queen of
Spain, the sovereign3 of the only two
countries that still have slaves. That
addressed to the former potcntatc
has been answered by his Imperia!
Majesty's minister for foreign affairs
The reply states that the personal de
sire OF the Emperor and the tendency
OF public opinion in Brazil are equally
in favor of abolition, and says: The
emancipation Of the slaves, ncces-
nscquence OF the abolition Of
the etrade, is now only ques-
ton form and Of opportunity
The u ,nisterpromises that, whenever
the unhappy circumstances in which
the country now is shall permit, the
Brazilian Government will consider,
as an object of the highest impor-
tance, ''the realization of that which
the spirit of Christianity has long
demanded from the civilized world.
It has been stated since that the En-
pcror of Brazil had cmancipated his
own slaves, us an example for his sub
iects.
