IN. Fonvielle and Nj. Victor Noir came
to my residence with menacing air, with
their hands in their pockets, and presented
a letter from NJ. Pascal Grousette. ! said,

Court OF Justice to decide upon the charge

The Prince belonging to the Emperor's
| family, the examination must be held be-
fore this Court
At the sitting of the Corps Legislatif
Tuesday, NJ Guyot Montpayroux proposed
that members of the Imperial family be
rendered amendable to law. He said he
had no intention of creating trouble; he
wished simply to do away with unlawful
exceptions.
M. Henri Rochefort referred in bitter
terms to the murder of Victor Noir He
said Noir was one of the people, and the
people should judge his murderer, who,
though cousin to the Emperor, must not be
allowed to escape.
Mr.. Olivier, in his reply, promised that
they should have justice. In the course
of his speech he used these words 1--WE
are justice, law and moderation; if you
force us, we will be power"
A communication from the Procureur
Imperial was laid before the Chamber,
demanding the arrangement of Deputy
Henri Rochefort for outrage against the
Emperor and for exciting disorder and
violence. The demand was referred to a
Committee. :

THE AMERICAN MAN.

Mr.. Simoni, a French savrnt who
has recently Travelled extensively in
North America, reports to the Geo-
graphical Society OF Paris his belief
that three successive types may be es-
tablished of the American man.
First, the fossil, or primitive type,
found in off II Mt parts of the country
especially III California, in "a diluvIan
stratum, covered with beds OF lava.
second, what he calls the intermedi-
airy type, to which is probably due the
construction OF the. mounds in the Val
ley OF the Mississippi and othe parts
OF America. Third, the modern type,
or the Indian of the present day. lie
thinks that three types have all evol-
we'd nom one, and that this came orig
inally from Asia.
As bearing upon the same subject,
the remarks OF Professor Shaler re-
Gently made before the Boston Society
of Natural History are worthy Of
note namely, that the buffalo, so
abundant in the Valley of the Missis-
sippi during the historical era OF North
America, was apparently entirely un-
known to the mOund-UuildeFs, since
no remains OF the animal have been
discovered in the mounds of the " est
and where found at all in the soil it is
very specifically or near the surface,
and above the level of the deposits Oi
The salt-licks and bogs. This state
ment, if verified, may furnish elew
to the age OF the mounds but 1t mus,
not be forgotten that the buffalo occurs
in the loess OF the Missouri Valley,
certainly vi much earlier date than TIA,
mounds, and that lis remains exist in
great abundance in North Western
America, along the Yukon River,
where it no longer occurs living.

FUNCTIONS OF LEAVES OF
PLANTS

IL is we'll known that the leaves Of
plants perform an important function,
both in the evaporation Of water and
IN the decomposition of carbOnic acid,
the two processes proceeding contem-
pOraneOusly, and both determined by
the character of the light to which the
leaves are exposed rather than by the
temperature. Certain rays OF light
appear 10 develop these properties Of
the leaves more than others, the expe-
riments showing that under the inhu-
ence of yellow light twenty-six per
cent. of gas was evolved, wh.le under
blue rays of the same intensity not
quite six per cent. WAS thrown of.

The Passage OF the GesrJia DiH
its fhs IfuRSs

WASHINGTON, March s.-The House
to-day finally disposed of the Georgia
bill, but not ia the same shape in which
il came from the Committee on Rect n e
struction. An amendment Offered by
Mr.. Bingham, limiting Gov. Bullock
and other state officers % the time for
which they were originally elected,
was adopted by a very considerable
majority. This so annoyed Butler,
who had charge of the bill, that he re-
fused to vote when the roll was first
called, but afterwards said that rather
than vote with the Democrats, snd in
order 70 count Georgia in the ratifica-
ton Of the Fifteenth amendment, he
would go for the bill, even a. it was
amended. The effect Of the original
bill, it is said, would have been TO have
kept Bullock Governor Of Georgia for
at least six years. AS it now stands il
restricts his tenure Of office, and inl-
poses upon the State only the same
fundamental conditions that were ex-
acted OF Virginia and Mississippi. II
is claimed that there will be very con-
siderable opposition to this bill in the
Senate.

charging the female Grand Jury re-
Gently selected at Laramie city, Wy
oming Territory:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand
Jury 1t is a novelty to see, as we
do to-day, ladies summoned to serve as
Jurors. The extension of political
rights and franchise to woman Is a
subject that is agitating the whole
country. / have never taken active
mart in diseu zsio-s, but have long seen
that woman was a victim to the vices,
crimes, and imnlOrllity of man, with
no power 10 protect and defend her
self from these evils. | have long
felt that such powers Of protection
should be conferred upon woman, and
il has fallen to our lot here to act as the
pioneer in this movement, and 10 test
the question. The eyes Of the world
are to-day fixed upon this jury OF Al
hanv county. There is not the slight
est inpropriety in any lady occupy
ing the position, and I wish to assure
YOU that the fullest protection OF the
court shall be accorded 10 you. IL
would be a most shameful scandal
upon our temple of Justice and courts
OF law IL anything should be permit
ted which tho most sensitive lady
might not hear with propriety and
witness and here, let me add, II will
be sorry day for any man who shall
50 far forget the courtesies due and
paid by every American gentlemen to
every American lady rs TO even by a
word or act endeavor to deter you from
the exercise Of those rights with which
the laws have invested you.
~ will eonelude with the remark,
This il a question for you 70 decide for
Yourself; no man has any right to in
tefere. II seems 10 be proper for wo-
men to sit upon grand juries, which
will give them the best possible Oppor-
tunity to aid In suppressing deus OF
infamy which curse the country. i
do not make these remarks from any
distrust Of gentlemen on the contra
nv. / am exceedingly pleased and
gratiiied with the indications of lntelli-
