New Yenr,. Day in Paris.

New Years Day IN Paris.
The Paris correspondent of the Globe
says:
Although the new year only begins
tomorrow, the sending of visiting cards,
the paying of visits and the making of
presents, which mark it in this city,
have begun to-day. Indeed, for people
with large circle of acquaintance
and everybody's circle in Paris is large,
owing to the extreme sociability of the
populatiOn-it would not be possible to
get through the visiting duty in one
day. We live on flats, in very high
houses here, you know, and it takes time
and costs labor to ascend and descend
one another's staircases. The postoftice
Is grooming under the number of visit
ing cards it has to distribute. There
are, speaking roundly, about 100000
people in Paris and its immediate yicin-
ity. OF these certainly One-third are,
or think themselves, of sufficient social
Importance to have cards; and certainly
the card posessOrs, taking one with an
other, send out, at moderate Occupa-
ton. half dozen cards and receive as
many. Calculate tho toteii Aud add
to it several score thousand going to
and coming from the country. This ex-
changing of bits of pasteboard may
seem foolish in foreign eyes, and it does
not appear wise to many of the French.
What can be said for it is that it gives
little trouble-that, being kindly meant,
it is kindly taken-that it consequently
produces much good feeling, and that it
sometimes heals Misunderstanding. 1t
has, however, one grave Inconvenience
and that is, that if card sent does not
reach it's destination-andi in such pro-
digious mass many miscarry, especially
as they have to be posted in nnsealed
envelopes-the person for whom it was
intended thinks himself sighted; and if,
as is likely, his card had been duly des-
patched, he may be disposed to regard
the slight as deliberate offence. As to
the visiting, it caused, in the first place,
horrible fatigue, and in the next, the
good-wishing, the hand-grasping, the
cher din,-ing, and the embracing which
accompany it, are not always sincere,
and yet it is sincerity alone which gives
value to such things. Even the priv
ilegc of kissing ladies' cheeks, which
comes in with the season, is not so "jol-
"" as clubmen at London may think,
seeing that most cheeks, in accordance
with the foolish fashion of the day, are
painted-and the lips inevitably absorb
some of the paint, which is neither
pleasant to the taste nor wholesome.

This opprobrions term of "turncoat'
took its rise from one of the first Duke!
of Savoy, whose dominions lying oper
to the incursions Of the two contendine
houses of Spain and France, he was
obliged to temporize and fall in with
that power that was most likely TO dis
tress him, according to the success OF
their arms against one another. So be-
ing frequently obliged to change sides,
he humorously got a coat made that was
blue on one side and white on the other,
and might be indifferently worn either
side out. While in the Spanish interest
he wore the blue side out, and the white
side the badge for the French. From
whence he was called Emmanuel, sur
named ''turncoat," by way of distin-
gushing him from other princes of the
same name of that house.

these loathsome subjects in their details,
and it is to be regretted that some Of
our papers do so; but such As force
themselves on the public attention can
not he passed over in silence. Of such
a character is the painful exhibition
that took place in New York on the day
referred to, when women of otherwise
respectable appearance literally reeled
through the public thoroughfares as
they proceeded from house to house
making their New Years calls. Had
there been o few isolated cases OF the
kind the matter might have been
passed over without remark, but
it was too general to permit it to
remain unnoticed. In some instances
the intoxicated persons were not six
teen years old, and the sight pre-
scented was disgusting in the extreme.
What homes these unfortunate crea-
tures represent, where licentious indul-
gence usurps the place of parental au-
thority, and the old and the young are
alike stepped in vice aud crime.
1t is sad reflection that, while the
country is overshadowed by an infa-
nous gang of conspirators who are
plotting the overthrow of its freedom,
the greatest license prevails in society,
and men and women fling off the re-
straints imposed by general respect and
public opinion. The liberty to do right
is superseded by unrestrained license,
and the good and the virtuous long for
the day when men shall recognize the
principle of authority in the moral as
we'll as in the political world. How
ever much people may differ as to the
cause of this decentralization, there is no
controversy in regard to the character
of its effects on the rising generation
Here in New York, if what we hear be
true, the prolific source of many social
and moral evils is to be found in our
public schools, those much vaunted in
situations which were to give us race
of beings superior to any that had yet
been seen on the earth. But we must
confess we do not care to speak of what
we have been told in this particular,
and will content ourselves with the ex-
preston of the hope that the people
will one day take the question of the
education of their children out of the
hands of politicians into their own
We would warn them that there is nc
time to he lost if they would check the
evil before it is too late.

From the New York Metropolitan Recordl
One of the worst indications we have
yet had of public Generalization was
exhibited in the streets of our metropo-
lis the day after New Years. The vice
of intoxication has heretofore been al
most wholly monopohzed by the men;
but hereafter there is, it wonld appear,
to be less difference between the sexes
in this particular, and the consumption
of spiritnous liquors has received new
impulse from an entirely unexpected
source. For some time past there have
been mysterious hints that social moral
ity was at a very low ebb, and certain
features in the style of dress were Sc
verely criticized in some of our city
journals. However, as progress is
the watchword now in everything ex-
cept principle and virtue, the evils de-
nounced have continued to grow apace,
and in some respects we have already
surpassed tho most notorious cities of
the Old World. 1t is not, we believe,
the task of the journalist to deal with

Take one teaspoonful of salt, the same

the first stages of cholera. fthe first dose

dose, as it is quite harmless. The patient.
should keep perfectly quiet, a reclining
position being best. In severe cases soak
the feet thoroughly in very warm water,
chatting them well. Flannel wet with
pretty warm venegar and salt = especially
in warm weather = and placed around
