RED TAPE IN FRANCE.-One of the
French correspondents sends this story
from Tours
A curious anecdote is told of French
red tapeism. When the Minstersarriv-
ed at Tours, M Laurier, on taking poss-
ession of his Offices in the Prefecture,
was greatly surprised at finding senti-
mel at duty in one of the inner passages.
M. Laurier could see no reason for the
mans presence there, as the other entries
we're not guarded, and his only duty APP
peared to be to keep every one who pass
ed through, in the center of the hail.
inquiries were made of the local author
tiles, and although every one knew that
the sentry had always been posted there
nobody could tell the reason why. At
length it was discovered that, three and
twenty years before, the corridor had
been freshly painted, and guard had
been placed there to keep the public
from rubbing against the walls. No or.
der for his removal had even been issued
since that time, and so since March 1847
an armed soldier had continued to pace
up and down the passage, with orders to
keep every one from coming into con.
tact with the paint.

The legislature adjourned on Wednes-
day morning of last week having been
in session onE Tuesday nearly eighteen
consecutive hours. Most of the more
prominent bills failed in either one
house or the other, 20 that few bills
of any prominence we're passed, and the
publication of the avs, which will be
done soon, will give the best idea of what
has actually been done. The food Of
private and special bills poured into the
legislature this year is unprecedented, we
think, even by the great water flood of
last year. This is largely to be attrib-
uted to the action of the Constitutional
Convention of last June, which rejected
by a large majority the proposition for
bidding the introduction Of such bills in
to the legislature, and as the people thus
virtually decided in favor of giving their
time through the legislature for such pur-
poses, there is no great chance for COM
plant, until the people themselves get
sick Of it. One bill was passed however
introduced by Senator Eddy, we believe,
which is designed to relieve the legisla-
ture of such bills in future. and we hope
it will have that effect. 1t is general
law by which changes Of names and the
formation Of private corporations is sim
plifed, and it is hoped will prove accept
able.

ScRIBNER's MONTHLY The second

like the first has been received by the
public with great favor, and Claremont,

the good fortune to find it, and discover.
ing the name of the owner upon some
papers in the pocket-book, he returned
it to him safe and sound. The gratified
Teuton, after counting the money and
finding that it was all right, thus ad-
dressed the finder: Bob, you is one
honest man. / tells you what I'll do 8
I'll shake you for the lager" The young
man alluded to was almost as we'll off as
the compositor mentioned by US in yes
terday's Herald, who found the horse
for the discovery of which ga liberal re

ca took the horse without even "thank

FAMOUS GEEERALs.--Don piatt,
the plain spoken correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, is not
too Radical to write as follows:
GAS for Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan, | fear that under the
impartial pen of military crit
cism especially after the Confeder.
ate side is heard, these, our shad-
owing laurels, will wither and fade
and the verdict will be that these
officers had the good luck to be
in command when the Confeder-
acy fell to pieces from exhaustion.
Of the three, Gen. Sherman is the
most unfortunate. From the time
he and Grant threw a portion of
their army on the WRONG side of
the river, at Shiloh, and permit
ted it to be surprised and butcher
ed with the only excuse | ever
heard, that one officer was drunk
and the other crazy, to the march
from Chattanooga to Atlanta,
where he lost more men, killed and
wounded, than his enemy had
under him, we have a succession
Of military blunders."
