anxiety of the Germans for peace is intense, and
the troops the point of mutiny. The fighting
arounl Paris has been continuous, tedious and
bloody. The Army of tho Loire is still in the
field, apparently in hopeful spirits as ever.
Accounts with regard to the situation inside the
walls of Paris widely differ, some alleging that
provisions will hold two months longer, whilst
others as positively assert that the beseiged arc
ina starving condition, and cannot possibly hold
out a fortnight. John Bright has resigned his
place in the British Ministry.
From Washington we learn that Senator Will

a ..joint resolution explanatory of the Act admit

was read twice and ordered printed. We give

WHEREAS, Doubts have arisen as to the effect
of he Act for the admission of Oregon, approved
February, H. 1859, far as it relates to the five
hundred thousand acres of land granted to said
State by an Act entitled "An Act to appropriate
the proceeds of the public lands and to grant pre-
enption rights" app. owed September 4, lS4l !:
therefore,
Re IL resotrcd, fc., That Congress, by its said
Act admitting said State into the Union, did, and
hereby doth, assent to the application of said
lands for the support of common schools as made
in the second section of the eighth Article of the
Constitution of said State.

It is reported that the Suez canal is
about to pass into the hands of Great
Britain. NJ. Lesseps finds that France
is not able to supply the funds necessary
to keep the canal, and hence he betakes
himself to the country of the most abun-
dant capital and resources, which has,
after all greater interest in the success
of this canal than any other nation. It
would be singlar resultif the country
whose press, during the progress of this
enterprise, looked upon it with cold eyes
and constantly prophesied failure, should
now become the owner and worker of the
canal. Either this will probably happen
or this great work will be abandoned.
Foreign diplomats in Washington seem
to be very partial to American wives. A
correspondent writes from that city that
athe new French Minister'S wife, Madame
Treilhard, was Miss Hoffman of this
city. The bride of the Spanish Minister
is Miss Terry, New York Cuban. The
wife of the aftache of the Austrian Lega-
tion was a Mrs. Griffin, and the widow
of brilliant American General. The
widow of the Mexican Minister was a
Miss Smith, Of Washington, and that
of tho Danish representative q Miss
Zabriskie, of New Jersey. The acting
Brazilian Envoy, Mr. Fleury, is also
married to an American lady; and the
Italian Minister, Cerruti, has become the
husband Of Miss Noyes, of this city
while Mrs. LIE Strange, of the British
Legation, was Miss Austin, of Boston. :

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
just received from the Imperial Botanic
Gardens of St. Petersburg, collection
or Russian apples, embracing about 400
varieties in duplicate. These have come
in perfect condition, and are well provi-
ded with gratis, which will be at once
distributed to nurserymen and others who
desire to experiment with and propagate
from these promising acquisitions. For
Northern and Northwestern States this
is one of the most valuable fruit intro>
ductions that has ever been brought into
this country, and it is matter which will
be fully appreciated by pomologists.

News from Eastern Exchanges.

A jumping match between two women
and a man was contested at Mott Haven,
Connecticut, recently. At the appointed
time, Miss Anna Moore and Miss Catha-
rine Dubois came upon the ground, and
were loudly cheered- They were dressed
in kits and tights, and wore slippers
with heels Their hair was closely tied,
and they wore tight-ftting skull caps.
Dave Mathews, who was to compete with
them, was similarly attired. The match
was for $50 side, two best jumps out
of three. At the signal the trio took
positions Miss Moore led off with run
oc from 40 to so feet. Miss Dubois fol-
lowed, and then Mathews came flying to
the scratch, and made the last jump.
Miss Moore was the winner on the third
jump, she clearing l1.1a to Miss Dubois
100, and Mathews. 1867.
About 1900 people assembled at the
Morgan County Fair grounds at Jackson
bear-fght. The bear is about eighteen
months old, and belongsto what is known
as the black bear specie, and is owned by
Wash. Graf, of this county. The dog
pitted against him was bull dog, and
weighed about go pounds BY the terms
of The fight the bear was chained with
about ten feet of slack. The dog was to
be the attacking party, and if he should
refuse to attack at any time for five nfin-
utes he was to be considered conqured.
The fight began about 2 o'clock P. NJ
The dog is strong built, keen dog, and
| at first attacked fiercely. The bear sim
ply pushed him off with his paws, appa-
ren:ly making no effort to hurt the dog.
In this way the fight continued for two
hours. Two or three times the dog closed
in, when the bear would hug him aud
| then throw him away. The battle ended
after about two hours, the dog by that
time being entirely tired aud worn out.
Neither one was in any way injured.
Six thousand dollars was the prize of the
victor. There is much Indignation ex-
pressed by our citizens over the affair,
and there are threats Of indictment

The balance of power programme in
Europe, under the old regime, when re-
duced to tile etc, was to make it sure
that Great Britain should be the frs t
power on the sea and France the first
power on the land German victories

gramme, and Russia IS moving to destroy
the other. Balance of power is rapidly

During the fiscal year 9,095, ,413 acres
of public lands were disposed of; of this
quantity, 3,698,9 acres were taken
under the Homestead law, and 2, 159 SIS

EUROPEAN RACES There were four
fundamental races in Europe-the Latin,
the Germarie, the Greek aud the Slav
onic. The Latin race reflected its So
cialistic character, its love of unity, its
tendency to discipline and organization,
and its universal vassallage in Catholic
ism. The GeTmanic race reflected its
individualism and its love of indepcnd :
ence in Professionalism. The Greek race
manifested the predominance of the
metaphysical idea over the moral The
Slavonic adored species of armed Mes
siaisul, sora of autocratic religion. In
the government there were two races
the Indo European were tho progressive
one, the creators of the ancient Greeks
and the modern German. The Semites
was the religious race, and was represen-
ted by Moses, Christ and Mahomet. The
Jews and Arabs, these children of the
desert, adored the one God. The Chris
| tian Semites adored principally the first
person of the Trinity, and scarcely Dotic-
ed the second and the third. The Indo-
European adored the Virgin and Saints,
and scarcely recognized God.
