RICH THING.-oe Goodman, Of the
Virginia Enterprise, is in Paris, writing
letters home to his paper. He tells
how he rung himself into the Palace
of the Luxembourg at unusual and
forbidden hours. Joe Is i distinguished
looking young fellow, and being
dressed in 4 peculiar manner, the pur-
blind custodian took him for some
celebrated prince and admitted him.
He wandered about, and at length
reached the Chamber of the Throne,
coolly walked up and seated himself
on the illustrious throne Of the French
Empire, and began to survey the fres-
Goes of Clovis and ~Charlcmagne, and
St. Louis, Napoleon and the like.
Presently another custodian appeared
and wanted TO know what the devil he
was about, and Joe not being able to
make things clear, owing to the bad
French of the Partisan, was conducted
out a great deal faster than he had
come in. We believe the whole thing
to be an enormous lie ; but hear the
impudent fellows conclusions: "He
didn't appear to appreciate my fairness
in the matter, but conducting me by a
route not one-quarter the distance |
had travelled, politely showed me the
door. l consoled myself that | was
not the first person who had heen
kicked off the throne of France. and
might not be the last-and then walked
home ."-FigmO.

THE WINNIPEG WAR.

- ia
1t is announced on high authority,
that the question Of permitting the
troops of the Dominion of Canada to
march across the territory ofthe United
States to reach the seat Of the rebel
lion in Winnipeg, has recently been
the subject of an animated discussion
before President Grant aud his Cabi-
net, aud that such permission was re-
fused by a unanimous vote. The ap-
plication IA informally made by Mr.
Thornton, the English Minister, to Mr.
Secretary Fish, who stated very plainly
that the request could not be granted.
To settle Sthe point decidedly, Mr..
Fish, however, referred the matter to
the Cabinet, which, rs we have stated,
has unanimously decided that the
troops of the Dominion should not
march through the United States
territory. One of the routes laid
down comprised the passage Of the
troops by railroad by way of Detroit,
Chicago and St. Paul. This route has
been absolutely refused by the United
States Cabinet, and it is nov c%onjec-
tured that the Canadian soldiers will
endeavor to pass through the Sault Ste,
Marie Canal on vessels. By the second
route the troops will proceed by rail-
road from Toronto to Collingwood, on
Georgian Bay, thence by vessels along
Georgian Bay to Lake Huron, thence
through St. Mary's River and the Sault
Ste. Marie Canal to Fort William,
the most northwesterly point Of Lake
Superior. The distance from Toronto
to Fort William is 97s miles, divided
as follows: by rail 67 miles, by steamer
534 miles, and by batteau 37 miles.
The route from Fort William to Fort
Garry, $50 miles in Il straight line,
runs through a painless wilderness. 1t
Is feared that the Canadian troops,
Notwithstanding the prohibition, will
endeavor to pass throuh the Sault Ste.
