When the Pope received, last Sunday, dep
utatiOn Of 300 native Frenchmen, could he
possibly have meant anything personal when
he treated them to a discourse upon pride
"the enemy of mankind and the author of
"revolutionsg :" As every Frenchman who lives
a life of average length may reasonably ex-
pect to see and to participate in from three TO
five revolutions. perhaps it was gratifying to
the Gallo delegation to learn from so high n
source the rationale of general overturn. Pride.
according to the proverb, goeth before fall;
and now we are told that it also goeth before
q rising If the Pope has succeeded in hum
bling the French mind or in convincing it that
the widest mob is not better than the choicest
legislature, then, in our opinion, the age OF
miracles has not passed.

1t being now evident that the prospects for
the confirmation of Attorney General Hoar as
an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court are
very doubtful. we trust that the President Will
see the proprety of speedily withdrawing his

thoroughly capable and thoroughly trust
worthy Southern lawyer. Among mem

some whose reputation as lawyers before
the war was of the best, and who through the

The United States, after all their achieve
ments in that way, can boast of only second
rate embezzlers; for it is in France that this
method of stealing has reached the point Of
perfection. During the last year there have
been thefts by the officers of great fiscal cor
porations to the amount of eight million four
hundred thousand francs or about one million
and half of our own dear dollars. In one
respect, however, we are more upon an equal
ity with Gallo pickcrs and steaers. for the
rogues there, rs here, are not very savagely
treated if they only take care 70 steal enough.

\ SEmors JoGE,-Ne have just been shown a
private letter, dated not thousand miles from
White River junction, giving an account Of an
amusing affair which recently occurred in the
neighborhood, and which, though INDUCED in for
mere pastime, may in the end cause the parties
to laugh out Of the other side Of the mouth. The
correspondent says -
"They have got up the funniest -narl across
the river that you ever heard of. At party last
week, at one -s, after exhausting the ordi-
nary games, and wanting something new, mock
marriages were proposed Accordingly names
were drawn by lots and four couple, stood up to
be married. The ceremony was performed, and
they duly pronounced "man and wife, by the
laws Of 1.-THE State and before these Witnesses. ~
Alterward, they aseertained the man officiating
was justice of the peace, aud the parties were
legally married They are in the greatest alarm
about it that ever was. One Of them, Prot. --,
Oft Seminary, expects lady mp from below
in about a fortnight 10 marry him, and nearly
every one involved is expecting TO he married
right away lone other gentleman to a lady be-
low,--and they feel like death. They have
searched all the law books aud consulted authorI-
ties far and near, and everything only proves tho
knot still tighter. Tho justice has been fined
$50 for each couple, lie says he is from another
county, and cannot do business here, and sup
posed the marriages not to be legal. lt IS GER
tainly funny scrape, and made still lnnnier by
the fact that all the parties belong to the upper
ten" The best opinion is that they are legally
married and can only be divorced by the legisa-
