spirit, he recently proposed to buy the
shares of the Fair Ground association ct
$50 share, keep the track in order, and
make a perpetual lease of grounds and
track to the Windsor county Agricultural
society free of all charge, intending also
in his liberal way to spend $4,000 or
50 in building commodious stables, keep
stock horses, and make it everyday a
more advantageous arrangement than the
old one. But the shareholders met the
proposal with dlstrust and bitter opposi-
ton, and finally refused it with indignant
emphasis, Mr.. Billings published a letter
about it, saying that he had thought the
shareholders would be satisfied if, in adj
dition to the dividends heretofore made,
they received something more than
double the cost of shares. A finely sati4
rical letter on the subject appears in the
last Woodstock Standard, written by II

American readers have already been told
how Rochefort. "leader of the gdnaals," OF va
grant bows of Paris, as tue supporters OF i'm
periallsm scornfuIly call him, threatening dire
vengeance on the Prince Imperial, because
that unhappy little sprig Of moribund Napoe-
onism CHANGED to smile when somebody in the
Corps Legislatif made joke at the deputy
expense. "He took gallo1s from his pock-
et," as somebody says, ste punish SMILE" 1t
is now evident that Rochefort did not know
what the boy was laughing at. Fridays ca
BILE dispatches convey the astounding intelii'
gence that Rochfort, who was elected by one
of the Paris districts to the legislative body as
a Liberal of Liberas-nay, very Red Re-
publican-has been created by an imperial
decree a Senator of France! Rochefort, the
rays of whose Lantern" have cleaned so ON
inously on the Bonaparte dynasty, has been
constituted member of that body which is
the mere instrument of the Emperor's person
al government. The leader of the extreme Left
has become ea cGcio partisan ofthe extreme
Right. We should hesitate to credit the re-
port OF the strange and sudden metamorphosis
of the prescribed, hunted and prosecuted
Rochefort were it not that dispatches of the
same day, when we are Informed of his trans
fer to the Senate, tell of preparations 10 elect
his successor in the Corps LegtsIatif
In American politics there have been some
strange Instances of political apostacy-Sew-
ard, johnson and Chase being among the
most conspicuous examples. That which re-
minds Que most of Rochefort's is Senator
Brownlow's, who, notwithstanding the en-
phasis and virulence OF his late denial, seems
to nave contributed largely to the Democrat
ic triumph in the late Tennessee election. But
nearly all of our apostates, went to the enc
my's camp by easy stages, while Rochefort ap-
pears to have made but single days journey
oft. No, the Prince Imperial did not laugh
in derision,but perhaps because he knew soon
the fierce "Irreconcilable" would be found
among the supporters of his fathers throne.
Il. may laugh in safety now. for no one cap
tor a moment suppose that NJ. Rochefort will
even let the lurid CLEAN of his Lantern be
seen in his new position. Liberty might have
lost a more valuable champion, but hardly a
noiser or buster one. He belonged to the light
weights OF political reform, and will. probably
adopt himself without much difficulty to the
duties oil his new position.
