If the Constitution is. to be modified before
it's submitted, Gen. Schofeld ought to put
Bayne 10 it-he ought to discard the old State
arms, the Sic Semper Tyrannis, and the man
standing up with the spear in his .hand--he
ought to substitute "a fulElength portrait of9old

Il + The ARC DE TR1os1pHE IN PARIS. .-Thiszis
the largest ltriumphal arch inlthe world. The
building of this arch was commenced by Napo--
leon l. to commemorate the numerous victories
of bis armies, and was finished bya Louis Phil
ippe during hisreign. 1T consists OF an enor-
nous arch over one hundred and fifty feet
high and two smaller side arches, each about
one hundred feet in height Over the main
arch there are beautiful bas-reliefs, one of
which represents the departure from, Paris OF
gNapoleonss .,armes aud another the return -
l4henames ofothe victories OF Napoleon cover
the1arcb, but the absence OF any IN which the
armies of England were engaged is noticeable !;
Waterloo must have acted Ikea sponge and
wiped them all out. On the sides are inscrlb-
ed the names of several hundred officers who
gave up their lives while fighting under Napo-
leon. There is a narrow and dark staircase
within the aSch,; by means of which, for a
small fee, the summit can be reached. STAND
ing asit does upon elevated ground, from the
top the most comprehensive and beautiful
view Of Paris can be obtained. 1Ehe expense
Of. this .memento Of war, blood;s she'd and de- de
vastation has been over two millions OF dollars:
The original design has not been fully carried
out, as twas intended to be crowned with sta
tuary, which would have added to its beauty.

A CLERGYMAN Op1NroN.-Tbe pastor Of

that the editor Of daily news raper viewed as

With men, deserves the prayers OF all good peo-

the press, he does elevate and bless them, and
