Dress Fashions i'm Paris.

'sParis remains terribly calm" says our
special writer in the French capital in the
cable telegram report of the situation which
appeared in our columns yesterday. Paris
preserves her good taste in toilet costume
Paris is neatly dressed Paris is to some
extent joyous; Paris is out shopping" and
the Partisan modistes remain all powerful over
the rapidly tightening purses of the people
and just as mysterious as before in their utter
ances with respect to garments of much mys-
tical sublimity." So says our special writer
on dress fashions in the letter from Paris
which appears in our columns to-day. The
Parisians repeat the comforting sentence Of
''Never say die" even in the darkest hour
of the history of their fair city, and repeat IL
just as persistently as did Barnaby Ridges
raven during the period of the great riots in
London and when the gallant Sim Tippertit
conspired against the British Crown. The
citizens of Paris could see the Prussian
advance, behold the Germans coming
s'down like a wolf on the fold," but
they were determined to be dressed,
at all hazards, for his reception, fol-
lowing the rule of their Celtic cousin in Ire
land, who, when engaged in ''waking" his
dead father, told his wife to ''put clane pipe"
in the mouth of the corpse, so that he should
'took dacint before the company" So Paris
dressed and smoked and endeavored to be
happy, peering from her Notifications as did
''Warsaw's last champion" from the heights,
when he surveyed the waste of ruin which
pervaded ''wide DER his fields" in the track of
the advancing foreigners. The Parisia ms had
even brought out new hat-a great and very
confident venture, as it appears to us at this
distance; for who knows but that within few
minutes after its first display in the street this
gem of millinery will be bruised and ruff]ed
and ruined forever as a ''duck" by means Of
one of those ''horrible" spikes of steel which
glitter, as we are told, on the helmets of the
troopers Of King Williams body guard The
Parisians had the hat, however, with variety
OF very new and ''very pretty things" besides.
So even in this way the French municipality
appeared to enjoy decided worldly advan-
tage over the Berlinese, who were for the
moment wounded and in prayer, and looked
rather 'dowdyish, and suburban" even. after
their victories.

ever since the region Of active military opera
tlons and heavy cannonadings in France has
been deluged with heavy rains. From our
observations ON this subject during our late
war with the Southern confederacy, and from
the rains uniformly attending all great warlike
operations in Europe, we are satisfied as to
the fact that heavy cannonadings do bring on
and bring down rain. But as with us, In the
order of the seasons, the time has come for
our slater rains," we hope that the promise
held out in our opening autumnal northeaster
will be followed by plentiful watering of all
the dry land from the Atlantic to the Pacific
seaboard islands.

witness the closing scene.
In closing this article, however, we caution
our readers against leaping to the conclusion
that because the temporal power Of the Papacy
is gone the Papacy itself is dead. In spite
of its many shortcomings, faults, crimes, if the
reader will, it is an institution hoary with years
and rich with noble memories. All the world
owes much to it. It was ancient and honor
able when Europe still was young and centu-
ries before America was discovered. Although
it is our firm belief that the temporal power
of the Papacy is gone forever the Papacy
itself in its true spiritual character may be
mighter than ever when America has become
old and when Europe has been rejuvenated,
when all the dynasties and arlstocracies have
been consigned to oblivion, and when the great
Sun god looks down only and always on the
universal republic. Who can say it will not
be so? E,..,5t

months. Such language, coming from an

zens, he will put stop to the rufianism
which threatens the fair name Of our good

THE LABOR QUESTION AND WENDELL
PHILLIPS. Phillips has seized the
reins of the labor movement, and will direct
it, as he did his anti-slavery agitation, TO

sic abilities. Let us see what use he will

Careful OF THE LIFE OF NApoLEoN-A
boy was recently discovered at Wilhelmshohe,
where Louis Napoleon is now sojourning, with
loaded pistol in his pocket. 1t was decided
by the authorities that the pistol could not
have been intended for any purpose except the
assassination of Louis Napoleon, and the boy
was punished accordingly.

EARL GRANvILLE's KILKENNY CAT Policy.
Earl Granville says that the French and
Prussians must fight it out That is the only
solution he sees; for if England should inter-
fere, having no ideas of her own on the sub
iect, she must necessarily in terfere with a
message or thought coming from either
one or the other of the belligerents If it
should be thought from France it would
Justly offend Prussia; if thought from
Prussia it would justly offend France. 1t is
dangerous, therefore, and England wants to
be out of danger. Let them fight on, and
the longer the better. Let all powerful
nations do the same for thus only may all
the rivals of John Bull remove themselves
from his path.

the old stand. Customers in any country sup

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. -
This Convention assemblies in Rochester on
Wednesday. No doubt the present incumbents
will be renominated. The only question of
interest is regarding the platform. That plat
form should be made to conform with the
progress of events since the last State Con-
vention was Seld. 1t is unnecessary and use
less for the Convention IS take a back track
and introduce matters not pertinent to the
issues of the present day. Those issues are
principally reduction of taxes and lrm
recognition of the principles of liberty as they
are beginning again to take root and spread
in Europe If the democrats in their conven-
tion on Wednesday fail to recognize these
principles they will fail to make stand in
support of the policy of the democratic party
since its organization.
The Convention has the opportunity OF
fashioning the Presidential campaign of 1872,
and it will rest with the delegates to shape
their deliberations accordingly.

That Beautiful Neutrality.

From Mr.. Lowe also, the English Chancellor
of the Exchequer, we now hear of neutrality.
How dearly every Englishman loves his
neutrality. 1t is something that is growing
as dear to the national heart as all, especially
English institutions have been time out of
mind. There is the roast beef of old England.
That has done splendid service. If anybody
noticed the excellence Of the English consti-
tuition reference to the roast beef of old
England accounted for it, on rational princi-
pies. In the same way British freedom, the
mental and physical vigor of the people. the
superiority Of English cutlery, English race
horses, English bulldogs, English everything,
was accounted for by reference to the national
diet. But neutrality now comes to push the
roast beef from the place of honor. Neutrality
accounts for everything, and so it accounts,
of course, for Englands present position with
regard to the war. England, says Mr..
Lowe, cannot do anything, because that
would violate her neutrality, and the British
government cannot contemplate such possi-
bility without horror. England cannot con-
tribute word toward peace, lest she violate
her neutrality; but she can contribute fifty
thousand rifles to the war and neutrality feels
no shock. How substantial is this neutrality
that feels no tremor while all those guns go
off. and how sensitive it is that little word
in the interest of peace will offend it /!
Our First Autumnal Equinoctial.
The northeaster which commenced here on
Friday night, and which continued through the
day yesterday, with light drizzlings ofrain, may
be set down as the first of our equnoctial
storms of this season. After dreary period
of rainless skies all round the globe north of
the Equator, remarkable for its duration, these
returning autumnal rains will be everywhere
welcomed as a godsend; for gardens, or
chards, fields and forests, springs, wells, mill
streams and many navigable rivers, in both
hemispheres, have severely felt the effects of
the late exhausting, withering and fire-creating
drought. 1t is, however, remarkable fact
in this connection that the drought which
threatened famine in France and Germany
down to the beginning of the war ended with
the first battles on the Rhine frontier, and that
