Lopez.

There is said to be muck rejoicing in
Brazil over the fail of this cheftain. This
o. itself is the best eulogy that need be ut
tered concerning him. He died almost
alone, yet withdrawing an army. There
was no surrender. His oft-repeated words,
that he would never survive his cause, sus-
gests that enthusiastic heroism that made
the ancients rashly brave. Brazil feared
him, hense she rejoices. With the En-
peror's army and resorces, at his back the
combined dynasties of South America
could have made no headway against him.
Many portraits of Lopez have been drawn
by journalists, though but few true ones
have been painted. We have not chos en-
to regard him as of 80 much value to repub-
iican institutions in South Amesica as the
cause he represented. The war of the al
lies was simgly raid upon Paraguay. The
allianne was an ingenious arrangement
in the interest of Brazil. 1t was the old
story OF slave propagandism at the expense
of adjacent territory and anything like a
progressive spirit.-Forny's Press.

A PARIS STORY WITH A SEQUEL
Here is little story of Paris life:
Count c., a Paris dandy, recently per-
sistently annoyed one of the prettiest Amer
lean ladies in Paris, by following her wher-
ever she went. At last the American
spirit of independence could stand it no
longer, being tracked step by step, and Miss
boldly turned to the petit creuc and
asked him politely but energetically to
"vanish." Ilereupon the gentleman in
dulged in an ardent declaration, which was
interrupted by the young lady's breaking her
umbrella over his head. The count swears
he will take his revenge upon the first
American who falls into his hands.
And here is its equal:
The Paris correspondent Of the Pail
Nal Gazette says: "The other day l sent
you an extract from the american Regis
ter abusing Count Hector G., who
had offended young lady from New York.
The count was told that if he required any
explanation he might call on the editor.
hear that he did call, and was shown a list
of about dozen names to choose from, or,
if he preferred, he might begin at the be.
ginning of the list and 60 through with it.
How this international question will be ul-
timately settled is doubtful, but for the
moment Hector is said to have retired to
his tent, discountenanced at the amount of
accommodation offered"

FAIR PLAY

DocToR BoRDwFLL-DEAR S1R-Those
letters published in part by the Gazette,
and correctly in the Advocdte last week,
April 10th, between Mr.. VIM. M'Cauey
and the Pastor of 81 .Bonifdco Church,
call up inquiry from abroad who is Mr..
M'Cauly, aud what of his family ? and ,chot
OF The girl? We answer, Nr. VIM. Nc
Cauley is an honest respectable citizen
an industrious upright mechanic; his wife
very intelligent discreet woman. In the
course taken with the girl they used great
prudence. After suffering great annoyance
and insult, Mr.. McCauley writes the priest
private letter. All can judge Of it. This
Cdthelic Priest published it aud his own
answer. His answer needs no comments !;
every intelligent mind can read, mark, learu
and inwardly digest and thank God that
in America we ha ave common school and
Bible.
l. have seen the girl; should think her
about fourteen or fifteen years old, evidently
thoughtful above her years. She has not
been iniue enced as to school or church priv
ileges by Mr.. McCauley. The girl is very
much respected.

with which he acknowledges his mo-

able. It is not that Dawes is wrong
in bis estimates, or in serving the
people by demanding economy and re-
trenchmcat on such excellent grounds;

Butler attacks him. The republican
