awe the people if possible by their presence,
and arrests innumerable have been made of
persons suspected of promoting the disturb
ance. Napoleon III is a very different man
from the monarchs who have occupied the
French throne on former revolutionary occa-
sions, and it is certain that he will hesitate
at nothing to put down any attempt at insur-
rection. The question u.s. however, how long
can he succeed in sitting the growing spirit
of discomfort?
If crushed now it will certainly show itself
more determinedly than ever on the next
occasion. Persecution will only add fuel to
the flame, and there will come time when il
will burst forth in all its fury. The Emperor
may succeed in putting off the evil day
during his own lifetime, but the prospects for
his son succeeding him on the throne, or for
the perpetuation of the Napoeonic dynasty
are certainly not hattering No person can
view the probabilities of another revolution

where he was going to say low mass. The two
churches are near one another, and both of bright
red cooTed stone brick. Attributing the appa-
rent want of holy water at the entrance to the fault
of the architect, or to his own near-sghtedness, he
went up the side aisle, catching glimpse OF vested
priest at the high altar and entered the sacrisy.
Here he asked Of an attendant II he could say mass
there that morning The answer was ''that he
could" Now the priest was unrobing
before putting on the chasuble, etc, which were
all spread out before him, there enters the
sacristy the clergyman fresh from celebrating,
attended by server," ana carrying paten, chalice
and corporal in as orthodox a manner as could the
Pope himself. Now as the priest turned to look at
this gentleman, in whom he expected to find the
Parochus of the Catholic community, his eye lighted
upon three University hoods. ''Do you wear hoods
here?" he inquired. The clergyman answered that
such was their custom. 81 told, says the priest
hesitating, "that could say mass here this morn

"But--ahem--is this Catholic church?" "Yes,"
was the calm answer. "Ah! says the priest, sis 1t

rituast, meekly "you must go lower down for that"

The news from Paris published this morn

clared against the empire at the late election
by very decided vote, but disturbances have
taken place, which, to those who are familiar
with French history, are ominous Of reyolu-
ton. Montmartre, where the principal dis
turbances have occurred, is occupied with
large bodies of troops and police. Night be-
fore last, however, the crowd of insurgents
broke through the line Of police and
formed a barlicade. They were dis
persed by a charge Of cavalry, but
not until much damage had been done to pro-
perty. The Emperor and Empress have

anything by halves in New York, and what

citement in this village over a horrible muir
der or big robbery, but such matters are of
daily occurrence in New York; and by her pc
cullar system of criminal jurisprudence, it is
generally the toss of a tive-cent piece between
the escape of the criminal and the
punishment of his victim. During the

of liking it as a pleasurable excitement is a

to check the growth of crime, it would seem
that they rather enjoyed it than otherwise. If
they are satisfied, why should we complain
But taking it all in all, New York cannot be
