French Capital.
George Wilkes, Esq, writes from Paris
In my conversation with Segnard / learned
something which you may possibly find to be of
value. He directed my attention to series of
articles which had recently appeared in a French
paper on the subject of the Emperor's health,
and which he said had created considerable sem
sation. They were written Ito his knowledge)
by man who had once been physician to the
Emperor, man of great ability but dissolute
habits, who had lost his standing in society and
his employment by the Emperor, but who,
nevertheless, knew the latter's constitution
well.
This man" said Segnard, ''has violated all
professional obligations in these articles, and
has disclosed the secret that the Emperor is suf-
fering under an incurable disease, which must
soon put an end to him"
what do you call soon? ?" / asked.
"Wel, certainly within six months" was the
reply.
tAnd what is his disease 2" inquired.
Fungus of the bladder" he answered.
This is a secret worth knowing, for the stock
markets OF all the world will be affected by the
acsth of the Emperor of France Segnard added
that doubtless the Emperor had been made

s'A High Old Time.o
Not many weeks ago a natboat was floating down
the broad bosom of the Father OF Waters. 1t was
night, and all ON board the pilot were wrapped
In slumber. Silence regned unbroken for hours
But finally faint strain Of music reached the
watchfu pilots ear; it grew louder, and cabin hove
in view, through the open door OF which men and
women were seen hitting through the may dance.
The boat gded on, the figures disappeared, and the
sounds of music and mith died out. Meanwhile
the stars climbed higher and higher in the sky, and
another festive cabin succeeded, and then another,
and so on throughout the lWelong night. ''Wal,"
exclaimed the pilot "this is the queerest country
ever did see, where at every house they have fiddle
and dancew But when the day dawned, and the
pilot enabled to recognize landmarks, he found
that all night his boat had been floating in great
circDg eddy, and that he had repeatedly passed the
same house where the people were having ''high
old time."

RECON IN THE OLD Do
MINION.

GENERAL CANBY the Commander of the Mill
tary District of Virginia, it is stated has de-
cided upon Tuesday, July g, as the time for
holding the election in that State in pursuance
of instructions from President Grant. The
result of this election can result only in the full
restoration of Virginia to all her relations to the
Union, SO long in allegiance. Various causes
have conspired to delay the consummation of
this much-to- be-desred result, and they can be
set forth most readily in brief sketch of the
progress of the reconstruction movements in the
State.
Towards the close of 1867 II convention for
framing a constitution for the State, in accord
ance with the provisions OF the Reconstruction
acts. assembled at Richmond, and devoted
several months 10 this task, under the presidency
of Judge Underwood, of the United States Dis
trict Court. The instrument prepared by this
convention, generally known as 'the Under
wood Constitution, provided for the full esta-
blishment of negro suffrage; included the dis
ability provisions of the fourteenth amendment
10 the Federal Constitution; required State
officers to subscribe to the iron-clad test oath;
embodied homestead clause, retrospective In
its operation; and provided for the establishment
of a system of free schools similar to that pre-
vailing throughout the North. While the
advocates of an unqualified compliance
with the terms of restoration laid down
by Congress were thus earnestly at work uPoh
an effort to reconstruct the State, the old seces-
sion element was equally active. On December
r 1887, at a mass meeting held in the Richmond
Theatre, the reactionary white mans party was
Organized. the principal plank in their platform
being determined and obstinate opposition to
the Constitution, whatever might be its shape, or
however lenient its provisions. The First Faml-
lies Of the Old Dominion did not wish to be re-
constructed, even in the slightest degree, under
the auspices of the Richmond Convention, made
