Mr. Mail, the No6n-conformist leader in
the British House of Commons, in the recent
debate on the Established Church, declared
that 'it is the right of every citizen to hold
what creed seems reasonable to him, and TO
belong to any church he likes, or to none,
without the least difference being made on
that account, in his relation to any law, or his
enjoyment of any political right or privilege
One of the curious topsey-turveys pre-
sen:ed by the abnormal condition of affairs IN
PARIS during the rule OF the Commune, was
witnessed in the case OF the legal practice o.
that city. The lawyers and notaries having
mostly fed from the city, their ambers were
taken possession of by their. clerks who re-
NAMED, and who drove a thriving business
With their masters unsuspicious clients. This
is quite ike the doings of the Mock Duke IN
the play of 1.-The Tanning OF the Shrew."
A savant has discovered with the micro
scope that when We pour milk into a cup OF
tea. the albumen of the milk and the tannin Of
the Tea instantly unite and form leather, or
Minute flakes of the very same compound
which is produced In the texture of the tah-
ned hides, and which makes it leather as dis
tinguished from the original skin. He conse-
auen.ly estimates that in the course OF a year
a tea-dripker of average capacity imbiees
enough leather to make a pair OF shoes.
Among other things settled by the late
treaty OF peace between France and Germany
is an understanding that the Germans who
have been expelled from france will be re-
stored to the possession Of their property, and
to the rights of domicile on French territory.
With regard to commercial relations, Ger
many will be treats ed on the same footing as
the most favored ~uatlons-namely, Eugland,
Belgium, &c. Thus is it that poor France has
been compelled to swallow more indignitles
than one.
The Cabinet have under consideration the
seizure of plantations in Cuba belonging to
Americans. One estate, worth between ST.
600, 900 and So, 600, 900, was levied upon nearly
two years ago. An order was sent from Spain for
its release fifteen months since, but the Captain
General made No response. Six months ago
Secretary Fish sent a note to the Spanish Min
lister, coupled with a demand for. the restora'
ton of the property. Instead of at once obey
inc the order given by the Spanish Unlster,
several hundred thousand dollars WORT more
Of the same property was destroyed. This ac-
ton OF the Spanish authorities is to be speedl-
~ looked into and prompt redress demanded.
Not many individuals, or corporations
even, can afford to lose from $50, 1000, 1000 to
$75,O 900, 900, and yet come out in the end all
right, rs if nothing had happened. Such Is
said, however, to have been the case with the
Rothschilds. When the late Franco German
war broke out, this house had every confidence
in the success OF the French arms, and made
its Investments accordingly, and had the re-
suit been as the shrewd ananciers anticipated,
their profits would have been simply enor-
nous. But for the nonce they were mistaken,
and but for their quick counter operations and
Refreshments, their losses would have been
thrice as large. Under these circumstances,
it is conseling to the London member OF the
house to have won the Derby.
Mrs. Stowe, the author Of Uncle Toms
Cabin, has lately made a visit to the South, an
account Of which she has furnished to the
Church Union, of New York. She declares
that the South is quiet, and that, so far from
there being prejudice against Northern set
tiers, honest folks Of that kind will find room
and welcome. Coming from the author OF
Uncle Toms Cabin, this ought to be considered
satisfactory. Mrs. Stowe was accompanied by
an invalid sister on her journey. and bears
testimony also to the uniform courtesy, atten-
ton anu klnQneSS WHICH tHe Two Womeui

from the men and women of the South. 1t

South, else we would suggest that they cal!

The Hartford Times printsa an amusing cata-
logue of Missions troubles in that vicinity a
short time since. She had parlous words with
her manager, Strakosch; she dropped her beau-
tiful watch, the gift of the Emperor, and acci-
dentally put her heel on it; she disliked the
cooking at the Allyn House, aud wanted the
cook to bring q chicken to her room and COOK
it over the crate, which the cook utterly and
contemporary refused 20 do. But her smiles
and sweetness returned, as by magic, when q
lovely bouquet with Governor JEWELS compli-
ments arrived, and would have continued had
not a subsequent message announced the
bouquet as Intended for Cary; the storm then
grew fearful, her brow knitted, her cheek
flushed, and as her dress of white satin was
defaced by some burnt cork left by the negro
