Mr.. Palfrey, in his History of New Eng
land" gives the following account of the re-
fusal of the sturdy colonists of Massachusetts,
to allow the creation of an aristocracy in
their proyince:-
Hutchinson has published in his history,
Certain Proposals made by Lord Say, Lord
Brooke, and other Persons of Quality, as
Conditions of their removing to New Eng
land:'-'That the commonwealth should con-
sst of two distinct ranks of men, whereof the
one should be, for them and their heirs, free
holders;' that for the present the Right
Honorable Lord Vscount Say and Sele, the
Lord Brooke, who had already been at great
disbursements for the public works in New
England, and such other gentlemen of ap-
proved sincerity and worth as they, before
their personal remove, should take into their
number, should be admitted for them and
their heirs, gentlemen of the country etc.
'"To comply with such proposals was impos-
sible, and the answers, it seems, were de-
ferred nearly two years. These answers are
a model for address,
The great disbursements of these noble
personages and worthy gentlemen we thank
fully acknowledge. But, though
that charge had never been disbursed, the
worth of the honorable persons named is so
well known to all, and our need of such sup
ports and guides is so sensible to ourselves,
that we do not doubt the country would
thankfully accept it as a singular favor from
God and from them, if He should bow their
hearts to come into this wilderness and helpus.
When God blesseth any branch of
any noble or generous family with spirit
and gifts fit for government, it would be
taking of Gods name in vain to put such a
talent under bushel, and a sin against the
honor of magistracy to neglect such in our
public elections. But, if God shou not de-
light to furnish some of their posterity with
gifts fit for magistracy we should expose
them rather to reproach and prejudice, and
the Commonwealth with them, than exalt
them to honor, if we should call them forth,
when God doth not, to public authority"

Partisan NEOdesty.

The affair of the Carpeaux group "a group
of voluptuous dancers, placed before the
facade of the new Opera, in Paris, and which
lately excited SO much opposition) is it ap-
pears, definitely settled; not, however, with
out turbulent debates The sculptor has pro-
tested to the last against the atfront offered
to his work, and finally he wished to take,
himself, to the Emperor an appeal against
the decision of the Minister of Fine Arts
But that good time when the sovereign's pri-
vate wish prevailed against every subordi-
nate decision is past; the Ministerial decree
has been maintained, and III. Carpeaux has
been offered, upon his so-called immodest
group being transported into the interior of
the Opera, the commission to execute the
work destined to replace this unfortu-
nate production. M. Carpeaux, strong in
his talent and in the support which
a large portion of the press has not failed to
afford him, would accept no compensation,
and has refused the new commission which
they offered him. The condemned work will
therefore be removed in spite of him, and, as
it was paid for in advance, it will remain at
the disposal of the authorities. NJ Gumery
is to supply the fourth group for the facade.
There is in all this much inconsis-
tency and arbitrariness. At the most,
they can only justify it by the fact that the
statues of Carpeaux occupied some inches
more room than had been allowed them, but
as no great defect in the ensemble of the edi-
fee had resulted from this, the circumstance
is far from legitimatizing the injury done to
a sculptor of talent by the offhand manner in
which a work which, may be, offends certain
prejudices, but which recommends itself by
its virile energy to all dletdntti, has been
treated.

A Clerical Warming-Pan.

In many parts of Ireland a warming pan
is called ''friar." Not many years ago an
unsophisticated girl took service in the town
Of. Poor thing! she had never heard of
a warming pan in her life, though she regu-
larly confessed to the friar.
1t SO happened that on a cool and drizzly
night priest took lod8ingat the inn. He had
travelled far, and being weary, retired at an
early hour. Soon afterwards the landlady
ordered the girl to put the friar in No. 6. Not
dreaming that by the word 'friar" her mis-
tress meant the warming-p pan, hastened to the
priest, who was comfortably settled in bed.
Up went Betty to the priest, Your reVer-
ence must go into N. g."
''How? why?" asked the priest, alarmed at
being disturbed.
''Your reverence must go into No. g."
There was no help for it, and the priest
arose, donned dressing gown, and went into
No. 6.
In about fifteen minutes the mistress
called to Betty, ''Put the friar into No. T."
Betty said something about disturbing his
reverence which the mistress did not under
stand. So she told the girl in a sharp voice to
do as she was directed and she wouIl always
do right.
Up went Betty, and the unhappy priest,
despite his angry protestations was obliged
to turn out of No. and go into No 4. Bat
a little time elapsed ere the girl was told to
put the friar into No. s. The poor priest,
thinking that every one was mad in the
house, and, sturdily resolved to quit it the
next morning, crept into the damp sheets of
No. 8. But he was to enjoy no peace thers
Betty was directed to put the friar into No
B, and with tears in her eyes she obeyed.
In about an hour the landlady concluded to
90 to bed herself, and the frar was ordered
into her ROOM Wondering what it meant,
Betty reused ap the priest, and told him that
he must go into No. IL. The patient monk
then crossed himself, counted his beads, aud
went into No. II. 1t so happened that the
husband of the landlady was troubled with
the ''green-eyed monstet. Going to bed,
therefore, before his wife, his suspicious were

TO rouse the sleeper, and to kick him into
the street. was the work of q few moments;
nor was the mistake explained until next day.
when the priest informed the inn-keeper what
outrages had been committed upon him; and
he learned, to his astonishment that he had
been serving the whole night as warming
nan.

TIE MAN WHO MELTED IN HIS BooTs.-Per-
haps the readers Of the Richmond Dispatch may
have noticed under the head of briefs upon the
subject of warm weather an account of a man
who melted in his boots, and the only thing left OF
him was pair Of boots full of grease, &C. The
circumstance connected with this is peculiarly
sad. The morning of that day he went to the wood
and coal depot OF j. ii. WOoDCOCK, SlI Basin
bank, and Inquired the price Of COAL and was given
the following figures: Glover Hill Lump, S5.75
Glover Hill Hall, IS; Clover HiIl Hard, for cook
ing purposes, 81. He left the Office and was heard
to eXclaim, son, that had money to lay In my
winter supply!'' Here his troubles did not end.
When he reached Main street he was seen watch.
ing Il lump of Ice, and cautiously he went to the
man In charge Of 1t and asked the price. lie was
told three cents pound. He then contrasted the
difference between the price of Ice and coal, and,
in language of sorrow, he said: "In one short
hour, upon this spot I will expire, and leave no
mark except big grease spot"

Judge Guigon's Appointments to
Municipal Offices.

At late hour last night Judge Guiqon.
of the Hastings Court, in accordance with
his view that vacancies now exist in the oc
fees for which IN election was held on the
fourth Thursday in May, made the follow.
ing appointments {:
Ofty Sergean.t.- T. August.
,CommonDealth's Auoney.-James G.
Blackwell.
clerk Of Hustings Court.-William p,
Lawton. A
Cir Treasurer. Matthew Blair.
Commissioner of Reuenue.-Temple Ell
lett. ...
City Enqineer.-S. Edward Bates.
Hi1h ConstoJle.-Seth Creekmore.
It Is understood that the present incum-
bents have no idea of surrendering TO the
appointees of the Judge the offices to which
they were elected. They claim that the
contest should have been decided in favor
of one or the other of the parties before
the court. The language of the law is that
"when the contest is decided a certificate
of election shall be issued to the party IN
whose favor the contest is decided, in the
manner prescribed by law, unless a certiti-
cate shall have been previously issued to
such person. Nowhere in this or any
other statute is authority given to the
judge TO set aside an election. 1t was SIM
plJ, bicl CldlIIi, Ills tliGS W uCSluS poe hCSIi
the contestants, and rs the incumbents
were not deprived of their certificates of
election, and had qualified and were i'll
office, they remain elected. Had the dcci-
sion been in favor of the complainants,
these incumbents would have acquicsced.
Whether this view is correct can be de-
cided by a case before the Court Of Appeals,
if the appointces of the Judge choose to
claim the offices to which he assumes the
right to appoint them.
But even if the court had the right to an
nul the election, and so to create vacancies,
it had no right, they maintain, to fill them,
because on the 18th of July, the last day Of
the session, the Legislature amended the
city charter and gave the power to till va
cancics to the City Council, and the per-
sons appointed by that body arc to hold the
offices, not until a new election can be held,
but for the unexpircd term. This was done
by amending the twenty-uinth section of
the charter, and for this reason, too, the
incumbcnts claim that they ought not to
give place to the appointces of Judge Gui-
gon. 1t is doubtful, however, whether the
latter will make any effort TO take posses
sion of the offices.
