CoNsoLAT1oN.-Itis is very fortunate that the peo-
pie Of the South eschew politics at this time, for
as used by those who jump at tho crack OF Thad.
Stevens whip, no honest iyiLg can be made at
such trade.
When the history of these times shall be writtcn
when tho mon Of to-day shall come up for jndg-
mcnt before posterlty; when the student Of Ame-
rican annals shall consider our glory and our
shame it will fill him with wonder and surprise to
see how rnpidly great and virtuous nation can
become degenerate. He will look in yain in Fed
era circles, for that character integrity and intel
lcct which shed halo OF renown over the cradle
omed tide Of Radicalism he will tld no one to COM
pare to Washington, Jefferson, Madison, franklin
or jay; nor since the elimination of our country
have any suoh men as Calhoun, Clayor Webster
stood as sentilles on the watchtOwers OF national
safety and honor.
Tho American people have degeneratod-thoro
can be no question Of the fact, else how could such
men US Steve and Butler be- the leaders Of n
great party North Of the Potomac? And how else
could thore be such little respect for tho rights OF
the living and the memory of the dead, as that
Virginia to-day should be held rs conquereu pro-
vince, and in tho city bearing tho namc OF tho
Father of his Country, the brutal ignorant negro
should be admitted to political privileges which
are denied to the descendants OF revolutionary
sages and heroes
It is very grevsus to be the victims of opposi-
ton, but there is more lofty honor and glory IN
member Of the vile rabbe that applies the torch
to virtue, and madly yells and dances around the
burning body of the dying saint. We can stand
anything except tho good opinion of those who
hate and pcrsecute uS--that would be lepr0us
shame.--Rictn}0nd Times.

The Census OF France.

The census of France for 1866 has been publish.
ed. The population during tie past five years has
lad no sensible increase. The larger cities, and
manufacturing centres have become crowded; and
tho rural districts proportionally depopulated
Palis now has 1900, 900 inhabitants. While France
has thus been stationary it has been otherwise in
all the surrounding countries; Spain even re-
porting a large increase Of population, and the
| public men of france are becoming disqmeted at
THO probable effects of this contrast 80 unfavora-
bic to their country; and arc beginning to eS-
anime into the social evils, which are considered
the main cause Of this retrocrcssion.
a:he Courier des Eats Unis suggests that defec-
tive female education is one OF tho prime causes
Of this lanentable state Of things. ssNot that We
wish to say anything to the ciscr.dit Of our
charming compatriots. Do what they may, they
will always be the most fascinating of their sex;
and If their education is imperfect if lnore regard
is had to make them eegantes than solides mothers
of fames,-if thoy are not brought up very strict
ly,-if the examples set before them are not ell
ways the most salutary-if their inclinations turn
more readily to pleasure than TO duty,-the fault is
their fathers, who have deviated from the good
old paths OF a more strict family government"
Marriage is extremely unpopular on account Of
its 'scnormous expense" The peasant initiates
the great folk of the cities. If he has but a few
roods or acres, he docs not wish to see it sub
divided among his children, the whole being bare
ly sufficient to maintain small family.
One of the causes doubtless is the baneful
effect of Capitalization. Paris increases, and the
provincial towns and cities decrease. The head
thus grows out of all proportion to the languish-
ing members and extremiticB.
Many Of the pubGcists consider the gigantic an
nual conscripton rs one Of the leading causes Of
depopuation. But the Courier des Eats U'ais is
too staunch Bonapartist to see the force of this
reason.
Emigration also, it appears, within the last few
years has assumed proportions heretofore UNI
known, and these emigrants go to other than
French colonies ngiers is under military rule,
tho emierant will only go to free country.
The article closes with the following extract
from NJ. DE TocoUEvuLE 'sFrance is the Emost
surprising OF nations. At the very moment when
she is considered at her lowest, she rises, as it
were, by thundorclap; when she is thought
annihilated, she asserts herself with more pride
than before when incurable evils discovered in
her body, social or polite, she reappcars more
healthy and more vigorous than ever, an unheard
Of piabiIty Of genius, to which she owes both her
miseries and her glory" henchmer take comfort

gB" A YOUNG LADY returning to her country home, after sou journ of a few months in the City, was hardly recognized by her friends. In place of a course, rustic flushed face, she had a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth ness, and instead of twenty three she really ap peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great change, she plainly told them that she used Circassian Balm, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady toilet. By it's use any Lady or Gentle man can improve their personal appearance an hundred fold. It is simple in It's com bination, as Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities from, also healing, cleansing and beautifyipg the skin and omplexiop. By its direct action on tHe cuticule it draws from it all its impurit'>,, kindly healing the same, and leaving the sur face as Nature intended it should be, clear, soft, smooth and beautiful.

Rev. Doctor Eldridge on last Sabbath, (2Sth inst.,) preached a very interesting sermon appropriate to t!te thirtyffth anni- versary of the Sabbath of his first settle ment. He stated that his pastorate is of longer standing than that of any other Con- gregational minister now settled in the State.
 There have been but three pastors of the church since the settlement of the town Rev. A. R. Robbins, the first was settled in 176l, (the town was incorporated in l75S,) and continued the pastor until his death in 1913. Rev. Ralph Emerson, D. D., was settled in 1916, and was dismissed in 1929, having been called to professorship in the Andover Theological Seminary. Rev. Dr. Eldridge was settled in April, 1882.
 The concert on Friday evening, like the previous one, was greatly enjoyed by the audience Besides a selection of hymn tunes sung by about sixty voices with the organ accompaniment, there was pleasing performance of pieces, mostly compositions and arrangements of MT. G. F. Root, in which the children were promi- nent, without any instruments. Other se- lections; as, quartette from Weber's Der Freyschutz the beautiful duet from Men delssohn Hymn of Praise; and G I Waited for the Lord," chosen from the cantata of St. Cecilia Day, were we'll received.
