When God settled the solitary in tami-
lies, he decided the question Of the relation
Of the sexes. While brothers and sisters
continue to be born, it will be safest and
best that men and women should be asso-
ciated in all the affairs Of life. They need
each other. Not that either is superior to
the other; men are not so much wiser than
women, nor women so much nobler than
men; it is only that they were originally
meant to live together, and it is several
thousand or several hundred thousand
years too late to improve that arrangement.
Men are bad enough, no doubt; but, as
Aunt Chloe remarks in "Dred, "Dey's
enutf sight better than muffin" On the
other hand women are often weak and sill
ly, and that delightful shrew, Mrs Poyser
is finally obliged to admit in adam Bede, y

inquiries made by assessors, in
formed them that under sub-di-
vision seven of the annual return,
entitled "Amount actually paid
for rent of homestead" the
amount actually paid for room
rent is de,luctible; but no deduc-
ton should be allowed for rent Of
furniture, care of rooms, or for

sons occupy a room or rooms in
a hotel or boarding house which
constitute their home, and pay
for board and rooms a stipulated
sum per month or quarter, they
should be allowed to deduct from
their income so much Of said sum
as is properly attributable to the
rent of rooms (unfurnished.) 1t
is for the assessor to determine,
from the best Information he can
obtain, what proportion of the
amount paid was considered pay
ment for the room only. Persons
in making their returns will be
governed accordingly.

IF THE EARTH WERE TO STAND
SrILL.-If the revolution of the
earth on its axis were to be sud-
denly stopped, the temperature
of everything would be raised to
such a degree as to be incapable
of existing in any form than va
por. When a bullet strikes the
target it becomes so hot that it
cannot he held in the hand. Its
velocity is at the rate of 1900 feet
a second, but what must be the
heat produced when a body like
the earth, moving at the rate Of
80, 100000 feet n second, is sud-
denly arrested! Tt would soon
be converted into a sea of fire and
all life would become extinct.
It is not probable that this ca
tastrophe will take place in our
generation. but rs the light Of
the sun is said to be due to the
combustion of worlds in its at
mosphere, our time may some
time come to add fuel to the
flames.

Fire in BastropI


On Tuesday night. the 18th
instant, tho, Court house in Bias
trop was destroyed by hre.. to-
cether with all the Records of tho
Clerks, Sheriff's and Tax Collect
or's Offices.
The books Of the Recorders Of
fice were saved, but the original
papers were consumed. The
house was Of brick, large and we'll
constructed and comparatively
new, having been finished in 1859.
The lower part was used by the
Clerk, Sheriff and Recorder. In
the upper part was q courtroom
and q number of smaller rooms
which were rented for private use.
n1essrs. Todd & Brigham and
also w. 8. Compton had law Of
fees in two of the small rooms.
We learn that the hearths were
thin and supported by timber and
had fred once before from the fire
in Messrs. TodtA& Brisham's room
during the present winter. A
warning not needed. The late fire
originated in the Office of Messrs.
Todd s. Brigham and is readily
traced back to the defective
hearth. The walls were thrown
down-the building q. total loss.
Messrs. T. s. B.:lost everything in
their offico-many valuable pa
|pers and an extensive library.
The loss Of the contents of the
| Clerks Office cannot be estimated.
The parish has always been q
good field for lawyers, and some
cases were fled many years ago
We hope the loss is exaggerated.
The building was not insured.
Probably there is not q public
building in the State outside OF
New Orleans that is. Does the
almost universality of the negli-
gence exculpate the guardians OF
public property If q private bus
mess that will not pay for an insu-
surance is not worth conducting,
how much more important is it
that buildings absolutely necessa-
~ for public use should be always
guarded by an ample policy.
Let the Police Jurors of oul
parish take warning and insure
without delay the courthouse, jail
and Sheriffk Office for their full
value.

addressed to Earl Granville formal complaint
against the continued shipment of arms from Eng
land to France.
To this Earl Granville replied that under the ex-
isting laws of England, nothing could be done to
prevent such shipments, which might be made to
one Power as we'll as to another, and that Parlia-
ment alone could change the existing laws.
On Wednesday last Count Bernstorff addressed
second note to Earl Granville, specifically stating
that the Prussian embassy had positive evidence of
the recent shipment of four hundred casesof arms
from Birmingham to France. This, said Bernstorff,
is certainly no neutrality, as your eNcellency's
government must be perfectly aware in the present
state of affairs on the Continent. that these arms
are intended for use in the field at once against
Prussia.
To this note Earl Granville replied by requesting
Count Bernstorf TO lay the proofs of these state
ments before her Majesty's government.

proof In support of his statements, and Granville
replied, acknowledging the receipt of the ambassa-

u. S. Marshal Gregory had a conference
with the census takers of the city yesterday,
with view to the perfection of the census.
When the city was canvassed, a large num-

their houses were closed. All such were
noted, and instructions were given yesterday
to make the visit to them now, and report in
reference to them. AS soon as that is done,
the entire population of the city Will be
known, and the public will be placed in pos
