The French People.

A Paris special correspondent writes to
the London News as follows: "Never has
war been undertaken by France with less
enthusiasm or more distrust of success.
The crowds on the Boulevards, who were
ready to die for their country, have dis
appeared. The troops are marching
through Paris to take trains for the seat
of war, and they traverse the streets with
out elictinga single cheer. Soldiers join
ing their regiments walk about in groups,
almost all of them drunk, and the bour-
geoise stare at them and shrug their shoul-
ders. The aspect of Paris could not be
more melancholy if the Prussians were at
the gates of the city"

North Carolina and Kirk.


The New York World has this on tho
situation in North Carolina;
The imbecility of the Judiciary of North
Carolina is, if possible, shade more dis
graceful to the present administration OF
affairs in that commonwealth than the IN
solont rapacity of its executive. A chief
justice who first issues a writ and subse-
quently goes out of his way to make ex-
cuses for the man who filings it back into
his face, is neither pleasing nor digni-
fed pillar of Jurisprudence. Yet this is
precisely what Chief Justice Pearson, Of
North Carolina, appears to have been do
ing. Kirk, chief Of lambs, seizes casual
citizen and plods him about the country
witb'vioarious bayOnets. Pearson, incar-
mating in singular manner the majesty
of the law, issues writ of habeas corpus,
enjoining Kirk to stop. Kirk, glancing at
the writ carelessly, mentions to the mes
senger of the law that "this thing is play
ed out" and proceeds to plod his victim
with renewed vigor. The messenger re-
turning with this respectful response to
Pearson, Pearson acquiesces cheerfully in
the obiler dicium of Kirk as a decision,
and contents himself with suggesting to
Gov. Holden whether it might not, on the
whole, be better to curb Kirk. The up
shot of all which is, that the citizens of
North Carolina can no longer look for pro-
lection in their peaceable pursuits within
the law, and that if they are to be pro-
tected at all they must protect themselves
outside of it.
This they cannot even do by the COM
paratively inoffensive device of flight. An
other of Kinks victims, wisely suspicious
of tho power of North Carolinian justice
to shave his body" out of the grip of Kirk,
took it into his keeping and ran away with
himself into Virginia. Therehe sat down
and rested foolishly fancying himself in
safety under the @gis tho Old Dominion.
But for Kirk American State sovereignty
is as much "played out" as British muni-
ments of personal right. He gayly trans
gressed the Virginian line, bagged his
North CarOlinian, and carried him back.
What refuge, then, remains to people 50

innocent youth fresh from the perusal of

Heavy Yield of Norway Oats.

Mr.. p. s. Lester has shown to us some
magnificent specimens of Norway oats.
Mr.. L. sOwed last spring fifteen bushels of
the Ramsdell Norway oats on his farm, in
Wilson county, near Lebanon, the area of
ground upon which they were sowed being
twenty acres. They have yielded him
seventy-fve bushels to the acre, and some
of the heads are from l8 to 22a inches in
length. From all parts of the State we
hear the most favorable reports of the pro-
life yield of these oats.-Union g. AmsT.

The Chattanooga Times says: 1t is ru-

cannot tell, that General Stokes is dssat-

fcient Post Master, and thinks he has not
devoted so much time and attention to the
affairs of the Republican party as he
should have done. 1t is said that for
these reasons Stokes intends to have the
official head of Mr.. Kindrick roll in the
basket before very long.

The French Gunboats,

Great Importance is attached to these
gunboats, to be used as in the American
war, and act on the Rhine, Moselle, and
possibly in the Saar, should the Prussians
defend that stream. Each gunboat car

and commanded by lieutenant. II is

fearful extent. There we're more deaths
