"a A Paris correspondent of New
York paper writes: There is one-only
one-day In the year when all the theatres
and all the butchers stalls are closed, and
when their occupants are at liberty. IT'S
their sole holiday. The seventh day brings
no respite to them here. On the contrary
it is the day they work hardest. On no
night are the theatres SO crammed, and no
day are the butchers stalls frsqueated by
more customers than on Sunday. 1t is not
the day of rest in Paris-'tis the day of
activity. Everybody orders the best break

There is not an old stene-masen, Or an old

artisan in Paris. When you visit Paris

old is generally so completely worn out
that he is fit for nothing. 1t is next to i'm

rebuff he gets everywhere. Medical men
say this premature decline, which antedates
years, is owing absolutely to the want of a
day Of rest once week. Going temuseums,
porting over books, amusements of every
sort, "impreving the mind, are as equally
perncous as hard work. Man is at bot

SHow.-The world is crazy for show
There is not one, perhaps, in a thousand,
who dares fall back on his real, simple self
for power to get through the world, and
exact enjoyment as he goes along. There
is no end to the aping, the mimicry, tie
false airs, and the superficial airs. 1t re-
quires rare courage, we admit, to live upto
ones enlightened convictions in these days.
Unless you consent to join in the general
cheat, there is no room for you among the
general mob Of pretenders. If man de-
sires to live within his means, and is reso-
lutte in his purpose not to appear more
than he really is, let him be applauded.-
There is something fresh and invigorating
in such an example, and we should honor
and uphold such plan with all the energy
in our power.

every one Of her commands were obeyed,
and, from what we have narrated, none can
doubt that if she had commanded her fol-

they would have essayed to do it. In case
of the negro man beaten, she commanded
them to beat him to death, unless he joined

The Washington correspondent ofthe Herald
states that in the course of a brief converse
ton with the President he asked him whether
he intended. as reported seyera! times lately,
TO issue an amnesty proclamation or send in a
special message to Congress, recommending
the removal of disabilities imposed by
the Fourteenth Amendment? lie smiled
good-humoredly, and answered: NO, 1
don't intend TO issue an amnesty pro-
clamation at all. My predecessor, Presi-
dent johnson. exhausted that pretty thor
ouebly [smilingl, but it is quite true that
did, some time ago. contemplate sending to
Congress a special message, recommending
the removal of all political disabilities l
thought that fitting occasion for the message
would be on the readmission Of Texas and other
States to the Union, believing that it would
have the effect to promote good feeling
throughout the South; but since then there
have been so many complaints about outrages
in the South, and requests for military inter
position in some of the States like Tennessee
and North Cardinal that have reconsidered
my resolution. and have come to the conclu-
sion that so long as the state of society in those
districts is such as to make it necessary to call
for military aid to preserve order, it would be
useless to recommend TO Congress the removal
of disabilities for the present. Therefore
cannot send that message to Congress"
1t was asked of the President if il was true
that he had n message of the kind prepared
and ready to send to Congress. He replied:
" Yes. sir, - and went on to state that the docu-
ment had been ready, but its presentation had
been abandoned for the reason already stated.
The message was brief but statesmanlike
document, urging Congress to remove, by
proper enactment. all disabilities imposed by
the Fourteenth Amendment. 1t will be seen
that the disorderly class South. who have re-
Gently given rise to so much cause OF COM
plant, will have great deal to answer for.
1t is probable, however, that the day is not
far distant when the President will be able
with impunity to crafty his noble impulse.

ing of Barbour Lewis and his co-confed-
crates, for the future, He who works to
divide and conquer the Democrats who
are to meet in convention, works for the
Radicals. He who works for the Radi-
calls cannot be exempted from the guilt
that attaches to that corrupt combina-
ton of odds and ends on any other
ground than insanity. If he be not in
sane. then he is certainly knave,
selfconfessed. Such cannot walk
abroad in the garb of Democracy, to
divide and conquer without detec-
ton. They viii be dismantled and
exposed by public opinion. The Radical
wolf cannot cover himself from exposure
in the Democratic shcepskin The Radi-
cal ass will not be allowed to acquire for
himself the reputation of lion by put
ting on the lions skin. He will be set

deceived by those who propose to run

They must stand on one side or the
other, and fight under one banner or the
other, Let the people of the county
and city then rally at the primary meet
ings, appoint men of sense, standing
and honor as their delegates, to go un-
trammeled and unpledged to any man,
to select the candidates for judges.
Any candidate who has attempted, or
shall attempt to control directly or in
directly, the appointment of delegates at
the primary meetings in his own interest
is unworthy, and ought to be rejected by
the Convention. The conscious weak
ness and unfitness of such men to be
chosen are only equalled by their selfish
ness. Let no such men be trusted. The
men to be chosen ought to be such as

ity and capacity will not only give salts

the elements of proper power and per-
