The FxoDus FROM PARIs.-Accounts have
ALREADY been given of the fight OF foreigners
from Paris, in view o. tne siege by the Prus-
sian armies, f,rivate letters confirm these ac-
co,:snts, representing the exodus as something
OF the character OF a grand " skedaddle" of
non-combatants, including even more French
people than foreigners, owing more to sheer
apprehension of the foule or mob of the most
awful characters known, but never seen except
in such times, in Paris than to fear OF the in
vaders themselves. Cellars, culverts, secret
vaults, and all manner of hiding places have
been made the repositories of furniture and
valuables of the refugees Large numbers of
the flying inhabitants have located themselves
at Havre and other French seaports, while
many have taken up their abode at sundry
towns and cities in England, while they i'm
patiently await the issue at Paris

In your general demeanor to others, you can
never go far wrong, if you ask yourself what
would | wish to have done to me in similar
circumstances. There are many persons who
are intensely selfish, and yet are wcllbred. In
such cases, they affect good feeling they real
ly do not entertain, and pretend to be pleased
with people whom they secretly dislike: They
spare the self love of others in doing this, and
TO that extent deserve credit. We know men
who never meet lady in the street, without
taking off their hats, and remaining uncovered

Entirely New Swindle.

The trick of sending circulars
to country greenhorns, offering to
sell counterfeit money. has been
well exposed. A new device has
been resorted to. The San has
in it's possession the circular of
the "Fourth National Banking
House of New York City;" Thom-
as Peters, President Samuel Fl.
Mapse, Vice President; FL. D..
Morehead, Cashier; and S. S,
Thompson, Secretary. In clumsy
phraseology it informs the recip-
lent that the Company are desir-
Gus of circulating a few hunared
dollars of their bank hills before
the first of May, inasmuch as they
may possibly fail at that time
They wish, also, that the money
shall be circulated in small a.
mounts and in country districts, in
order that no one may be heavy
loser by their misfortune or go to
the expense of coming to New
York to sue them. They ask the
person addressed to become their
agent, promising him half the pro-
,ceeds of all the bills be may pass
off, and assuring him that he can
make several thousand dollars be-
fore May arrives. They propose
sending several hundred dollars to
begin with, but a remittance of
ten dollars is requested as secu-
Irity for prompt returns, before any
of the bills are forwarded. The
lcircular closes with an injunction
not to mention It's contents to any
one, and requests a reply address.

Union, publishes an article to
show that all Christians are astray
on the form of baptism. The ap-
ostolic method was that Of INNER

but immersion naked. Acts viii,

A Note for Large Land
Owners.

It does not pay to hold large bod.
les Of surplus land, with an expec-
tation of an increase in value. A
gentleman of this place told US
few days ago that IN 1885 he sold
a tract OF l03 acres of land at So
per acre. which considering the fact
that it is good land, seems to be a
small price. Let us see sAecor-
ding to his calculation had be held
that land until now, be would
have to sell it for at least SIS per
acre in order to make 10 per cent.
interest on his investment-with-
out considering the wholesale tax
es now on lands. Another ques-
ton: If a farmer owns 100 acres
of land, assessed at $40 per acre,
and the tax is one per cent. and
interest on the money amounts to
10 per cent, how long will it be
before it takes the entire farm to
pay taxes and INTEREST," Farmers
should calculate these things and
make every acre of their land
bring them a profit. Ii not, sell
off their land in small farms, and
by thus increasing our population,
also increase our productive capac-
ity, and thus tighten the burden
of taxation. The results of the
war have made it worse than ru-
inous to hold large bodies of un-
cultivated land. tits seating itself

nothing of what the money would

Contested Elections.

There are about fifteen contest
ed election cases in the present
Congress, including that of our
own "Dear Ben, which is about
midway on the docket, bnt likely
to be called up among the first.
l think it more than likely that
the Radical applicant-not Soon
testant," for it is ridiculous to call
1t a contest in most cases-will
get the seat. They have formed
a pretty strong ring, or combina-
ton, which, if carried out accord
ing to agreement, promises success
to all. Let me illustrate, taking
Ben Egglsston's case for example.
Ben starts with five friends
which is precisely six more than
such a man ought to have-and
goes to another Radical in like
distress, to whom he pledges those
five votes in return for FIVE in fa-
vor of his own case. Then he
goes to another and makes the
same trade over again and SO on
until he has made seventy-6Ve or
eighty votes out of his original
five, pledging his friendsin advance
to vote for all the other Radicals
who are eontestipg, or whose seats
are being contested. In this way
it happens that the larger the num-
Der of contested cases the more
certain the result in favor of each
Radical whose seat is imperiled.
1t is the most remarkable and del
icately organized system of politi-
cal villainy known 10 Congress,
and under its operations have
long since felt assured that Eggle-
ston would get his seat. So Juli-
an will triumph over Reid in In
diana. though he has no more right
TO a seat in Congress than be has to
a Sc t ia the kingdom Of Heaven,
within whose pearly gates it is
tolerably certain no member OF
the Julian family will ever be per-
mitted to enter. So in the Mis-
soari cases the swindle will be per-
petuated and aggravated. But
Missouri has become accustomed
to such things in the past, and
her people must not be astonished
at a repetition of the outrage
by which Colonel Switzler was de-
prived of his seat, or Mr.. Van
Horn allowed to retain his. They
need the purifying influence of a
few frst-class riots to intlmidate
some OF their cowardly tyrants.-
The Democrats OF Missouri have
carried patient endurance beyond
any limit recognizedby brave men,
and if they submit much longer
to be abused, overawed and tram
pied upon by the miserable crowd
of Radical wretches who control
the State Government, people will
begin to believe that they deserve
no better fate.

New Religious Sect.

The Albany Knickerbocker
gives an account Of a new religious
sect which has just been organized
near that city. which bios lair to
outIival the Shakers ia the way of
attraction during the coming sea-
son. This party is compos, d of
men and women but instead of
there being dividing line, they
miugle together in a love feast sort
lof style. Music is their hobby,
and through its influence they all
expect to be saved. The members
are, principally musicians of some
sort, and ttose who are not blow
upon horns at the full extent and
powers of their lungs, In the hope
that the noise, if not the sweetness
OF the notes, viii secure their saliva
tiQn. The members of the new
society are now engaged in practace
for the summer Of 1870. A friend
OF ours, who was present at late
rehearsal, says it was terrible. The
beating of bass drums, blowing of
horns, tIombones, flutes, pipes, &c,
knocking the great peace jubilee
into ac1cked hat. II WAS fearful.
There was no harmony or order,
but all banged aud bowed away on
bis own hook. One person is Sc
Ilected as chief. He is the favored
one of the order, dressed like the
apostles of old, who is elevate d up

"a wand as leaders of orchestras
usually do, be swung a huge mallet,
which cams down with great force,
upon some arrangement that vibra-
ted fa and near, like the echo of
a huge bell or heavy piece Of ord
nance. The whole arrangement
resembles a great burlesque, but
the Kniekerbocker's informant says
he never saw a more earnest col
lection of devoIets, or met with
more iliendly set of people.

Not the Law.

A good story is told Of Judge
Nj, presiding in one of the Su.
preme Court districts in Western
New York
An account was brought in his
court for one thousand dollars for
damages for assault and battery.
The facts we're that the defendant,
while walking in the street with
his wife on lis arm, was rudely
accosted by the plaintiff, whom he
had in some way offended, and
was called in loud and Insulting
terms anupprobrious epithet. On
being thus addressed, the defend
ant left his wife and Knocked
down the plaintiff, whothereupon
brought this. action The Judge
sympathised very strongly with
the defendant, but as the case was
closely tried by the plaintiffs at
ltorney, he knew that if there was
peg given the latter whereon TO
hang an exception to his charge
the clever lawyer would get a
new trial. So when the violence
to the law had been duly expatia-
ted upon, in the summing up the
judge arose and charged the Jury
as follows; -Aasa sas .-.s
Gentlemen of the Jury, if. the
plaintiff had met me walking along
the street with my wife on my.
arm, and1had called me what it is
not denied that he called the de-
fendant, should have knocked
him down just as the defendant
did. But, gentlemen of the jury,
h0t Is not The ldao. You may take.
the case, gentlemen."e
The jury gave the plaintiff six
cents damages, without leaving
their seats. -.r. f...i'

MARRIED his MoTHER.--Some
days ago the community in the vi
'ciBity Of Carriers station, says the
Bristol News, was considerably
exercised by the announcement
that a Mr., Lyon, who lived in the
rneighborhood, bad married bis
mother. 1t seems that Lyons fa-
ther had been twice married, and
the children OF the first wife con-
tinued to live in the family after
the second marriage. Lyon, the
father, died, leaving his second
wife a widow, and Lyon, the son,
married his fathers widow. The
clerk issued the license, without a
Knowledge Of the facts, and the
minister requested to solemnize
the marriage, unlike Mr.. Beecher,
declined; a magistrate likewise
refused, and the pair crossed over
to Stony Creek, where they were
unknown, and were married.

Some months since a statement
was published to the effect that
Miss Gray, milliner of Fort
Edward, New York, had become
the fortunate heir to nineteen
million dollars, which her lover, a
young Englishman, bad willed to
her upon his dying bed. The
main fact in the case-the heir
ships true; but we now learn
that it was not to the lover but to
his father that Miss Gray is in
debted for her extraordinary good
fortune. 1t seems the lover on
his return to England, like too
many others, proved inconstant,
aud married another lady against
his fathers will. Whether it was
rem rse at his faithlessness or from
other cause,. certain it is the young
man died in about a year after his
marriage, aud left all his property
to his father. The old gentleman
was without heirs; and not hav-
ing become recCnciled TO his
daughter-in-law, upon his death
left one-half of his property to the
government Of England and the
remaining half, nineteen million
dollars, to Miss Gray, the Fort
Edward milliner. The sum was
SO large that many people were
disposed TO doubt its truth when
it first appeared in print; but Miss
Gray has already eceived the first
instalment of her fortune, a trifle
of FIVE million dollars, from the
British Consul in New York.
On Tuesday last she received q
dispatch from the Consul an
nouncing that.the money awaited
her order, and on the following
day she left Fort Edward for, New
York city, where it was paid over
to her. Lucky girl.
