THE French Empcror's speech on New
Years day to the foreign ambassadors who at
tend his reception on that occasion is always
looked tor with no little curiosity. His omin-
GUS declar alton to the Austrian minister, on
the LIST of January, 1859, was SO speedily fol-
lowed by Magenta and Solferino that, more
from sort of superstitious recurrence to that
event than from any sound reason, the peace
of Europe is almost thought to hang upon the
Emperor's New Years utterances. This year
his majesty spoke very practically to the as
sembled diplomats, as will be seen by our for
eign dispatches. He was "happy to reaffirm
once more the friendly relations which now
exist between France and their respective
governments" But in reply to deputation
of the Corps Legislatif that afterwards waited
upon him and made tle customary congratu-
latory address, the Emperor urged upon the
members of the Legislative body the speedy
and final passage of tn, bill for the organize
ton of the army, which he declared to be in
dispensable to the safety of the Empire. This
bill is denounced by Jules Favre, M. Olivier,
and other Liberal members of the Corps
Legislatif as a war measure, though Rouher
and the other supporters of the imperial pol
icy hold that its intention is precisely the re-

II seems at first sight as superfuous to
state that in disease of debility like con-
sumption patients should breathe pure air, as
they should have good nourishing food, but it
is not 500 Theoretically, the value of pure air
is accepted; but practically it is universally
neglected. Healthful respiration has yet to be
applied not only to everyday life, but in the
treatment of disease. In i'll health, and par
ticularly diseases of the respiratory organs, the
dictates of science and common sense are
grossly outraged. If those persons who have
consumption, or who have an inclination to it
would spend an hour every day in breathing
pure air to the fullest extent to which their
lungs are capable of taking it in, they would
do more to prevent and cure this disease than
it is possible to do by medication.
lie Petit Journal de Paris states that the
Jardin de PaDtes is haunted with the usands
of sparrows. Whether it is that, moved by
pity for their bird friends in captivity, they
come to visit them, is not stated. But they
pick up crumbs even in the cages of the most
ferocious animals, and make a very good
thing off the bears. But on Saturday, Nov,
81, the tendants remarked with surprise
that not solitary sparrow was to be seen.
They had all rushed away in terror. A great
buzzard had escaped from his cage, and was
calmly soaring over the gardens. The little
French sparrows, alarmed at the terrible
American spectre, had retreated in terror.
After much management the"turkey buzz" was
recaptured, and the sparrows resumed their
sports in the garden. 40 A
The secret of being popular would seem to

ANOTHER STABBING AFFAIR.-During a
the head of Salem lane-Thursday evening,
about seven o'clock, one Of the party, by name
Martin Morrisey, was very seriously if not IA
tally stabbed. From what we can learn i. ap-
pears that Morrissey was standing on the side
walk when three men named Patsy O'Brien,
John Hyde and Andy Conner, came up, and
Conner, who had had some previous trouble
with Morrissey, pitched into him for fight,
and got worsted. Upon this O'Brien came up
with an open knife in his hand and told Nor
rissey that he would stab him. The two clinch-
ed and Morrissey succeeded in throwing his
antagonist to the ground, but during the
squabble he received an ugly cut in the thigh.
He would have succeeded in squelching this
fellow but at this time Hyde advanced and
with a knife stabbed Morrissey very seriously
in the left side, near the lower rib. Officer
Williams now arrived upon the spot, and sue
cseding in arresting Connor and Hyde, and
getting them as far as the head of Centre
street, when Hyde broke away and ran down
the street. He was overtaken by this officer,
who then took them both to the station and
locked them up. Later in the evening O'Briep
was arrested by Officer Gribbens, on Center
street, and the whole three are now in custody

A DISHONEST MARINER.-The Providence

to Maine shipmaster. On Wednesday,
Capt. Jerod E. Pendleton, of the Schooner

and that 1T must have been some other individ-

CHINESE PHILOSOPHY FOR CHINEsE.-Gov.
Low of California has delivered his vale
dictory, and the new Democratic gov
ernor, Haight, his inaugural address. Gov.
Haight looks forward to the completion of the
Pacific Railroad as the means of filling the
State with desirable class of emigrants from
the East and Europe, by affording cheap trans
portation. He is opposed to inviting the inn
migration of the Chinese or any other Asiatic
race. On this subject he remarks:
What we desl c for the permanent benefit
of California is population of white men who
will make this State their home, bring up fam-
lilies here and meet the responsibilities and
discharge the duties of freemen. We ought
not to desire an eff tie population of Asiatics
for free State like ours.
1t is urged that this class of immigration
ii ould be permitted on philanthropic grounds.
but history and experience show that it is not
the dictate of true philanthropy or of sound
policy to locate together in one community
races SO r dicaly dissimilar in physical, men-
tai and moral constitution as the Caucasian
and African, or Monaghan.

Officer Dolley, as we learn from
the Star, had quite tussle with burglars last
Saturday evening. He was walking his beat
on Commercial street, about II o'clock, when
he heard the breaking of glass at the corner of
Union street. He approached cautiously and
found that thieves were operating on the prem
ises of A. Lunt. Something alarmed them
before he could come close up, and two chaps
issued forth. One of them the officer followed
and not stopping as he was ordered was fired
upon, only to frighten him.
The chap was soon overhauled and it was
found that he had secured lot of coppers from
the draw, done up in punches. On going back
with the prisoner to the store, he found two
bags had been filled up with copper, brass,
lead, &c, which they had contemplated carry
ing away. Michael Leary is the victim of Mr..
Dolley's vigilance, and our Court record shows
what was done with him. The other one has
not been arrested

FIRE.-A dwelling house owned by Capt
Charles H. Smith, situated about. one mile this
side of the Ocean House, in Cape Elizabeth,
was totally consumed by fire Thursday eve
ming, between the hours of and o'clock.
All the contents were consumed, and we I'M
derstood, that so rapidly did the flames spread
that the occupants had barely time TO escape.
1t was a two story frame building and was in
sured with the furniture in the agency of John
E. Dow & Son, for $4,000 80 09i5Ulu
The fire is supposed to have originated from
the furnace, as short time before it was dis
covered, Capt. Smith entered the house and
remarked to his wife that it was very warm.
He descended to the cellar, and not seeing
any thing wrong came back, and then went
out to his stable. His wife went into the pan
try, when she smelled smoke, and Immediate
ly after discovered that there was fire in the
cellar. She gave the alarm and Capt. Smith
ran to ueighbor's for help, but when they re-
turned the fire had made such Roadway that
none of the contents could be saved.
