The Paris Insurreetion.

The German Correspondent, the semi-oficial
Prussian Journal. says that Germany will not in
lerfere with affairs IN Paris, but will guard her
own interests and will know how to press to their
tuihllment the engagements entered into by
france Inc meaning Is plain, and it Is what
might be expected. Prussia will not undertake
= protectorate in France to enable the government
20 carry out its engagements, but will hold France
20 penalty for any failure. whether it comes by
GivIl war or other causes. Default in the engage
nents TO PrussiI will bring further forfeiture.
The viciOus classes who now hold Paris and par-
alyze the government are making France response
lie for their disorders, and are bringing heavy
Tenalties upon the whole people. If the trucu-
lent mob who form the basis of this Instruction,
those cowardly cruelty delights in the murder of
ny officers who represent order, whose tiger
donkey nature our correspondent has so graphic
lily described, could have a dose of their own
physic if retribution could be rightly directed,
faris and the world would be better for the exem-
larry wiping out of a few thousands of this mob.
here is no place in the world where a bloody

The vicious Paris mob is the ever ready iusti-
tation for NapoleonIsm, Imperialism and despo-

A Steamship Line is Sure.

There is no question but that there will be
some one or more lines of steamships eventually
running as a permanency between California and
the Colonies, touching ut these islands. If either
Webb's-should discontinue, there is still another
association of capitalists who are ready to step in
and occupy the route. This combination is rep
resented by Sir Charles Clifford, who came here
from Australia by the last steamer, en- route to
London. Sir Charles, in conversation while here,
spoke very positively to the effect that the London
Company in which he is interested is amply able
and quite DESTROYS to at once seize upon the route,
if opportunity offers.

This is an estimate for 1000 acres, which we
are informed, will, with anything like decent
attention and cultivation, yield from $50 to 500
pounds of clean cotton per acre. Taking the
smallest estimate, this gives a crop of $50, 900
pounds of cotton, worth one dollar a pound in
Europe. This return sounds very large, but we
were assured by Mr.. Burt that the statement, SO
far from being exaggerated, is much under the real
facts. But it must be remembered that to insure
these heavy returns, great personal care is taken
by the planters in the selection of che best seed,
and ploughing and cultivating faithfully. 1t is
thus, that from year to year, the quality of cotton
produced has brought the price up to its present
high standard. The climate and soil of the
islands is in every respect proven to be admirably
adapted to the growth of Sea Island cotton, the
crops equaling if MOI surprising those of the
common or upland variety, besides being fourfold
as valuable. Land can at present be bought
from the natives at comparatively low rates, but
in avery short time the rush of immigration and
the demand for land will be such, that prices
will go up, and large tracts be difficult to obtain.
There is now a foreign population of about 1900
on all the islands, but it is estimated that there
will be double that number in one year hence.
The Government of FIJI is at present in an
condition, and that fact constitutes the
main obstruction to the speedy advance of the
country in prosperity and wealth. The native
population is estimated at 200,O 900. OF these,
% 900 are heathens and cannibals, as much so as
the group was first discovered. They
inhabit the interior of the largest island, and

women'S Rights.

The subject of women's rights, appears, by the
increased attention which is paid to it. to be
growing in public favor. Learned divines, and
here and there a statesman, are heard giving in
their adhesion to the doctrine-which is undoubt-
edly sound as an abstraction-that women are
entitled to the same political rights as men.
There can be no question but that their influence,
though unseen, has always been potent in the
management of public affairs, but they-or rather
the most froward of them-want to be formally
and legally recognized as voters. But occasionally
we hear a deprecatory word from the ladies on
this subject, that is sound and sensible. A Mrs.
Aimira Lincoln Phelps, who is Secretary of the
"Women's Anti Sufrance Committee" of
Washington, has issued an address to the women
of the United States in behalf of many thousands
whose opinions coincide with her own. She pro-
pounds this unanswerable conundrum-as it may
be called If women vote, why should they not
be compelled to bear arms?" She contends with
great force and earnestness, that if the uneasy
women whose clamor attracts attention. are given
the right to vote, the possession of that franchise
will necessarily involve them in the performance
of other duties, not quite so pleasant. One of
these is the military service-another is jury
duty-another is labor with the hands, in en-
Payments uncongenial to women-and SO on,
throughout the catalogue. Imagine a regiment
of women shouldering muskets and trudging
through the mud Or a jury of women, locked
up to consider of their verdict in a murder case
and the distress to be endured by fragile frames,
to say nothing of the worry over the children at
home,-little Bobby sick with the measles, sand
the anxiety lest Kate should smash all the glass
china before her mistress should 20 home /!
And there is a more serious aspect of the case,
Mrs. Phelps has the courage to handle.
She says " While some good but misguided
women have, doubtless from the best of motives.

nave, of late, witnessed with great surprise an

together distinct from legal or political consid-
rations. Fallen women are not regarded as fit

An American correspondent, who recently in
terviewed Napoleon at Wilhelmshohe, says he

anarchy, which might not be confined to her
alone. He denounced the National Assembly as

anything to retain power, and defended himself

The chance that your life will fail within a year is 2 per cent.
The chance that your house will burn within a year is less
than one quarter per cent.
Why insure the latter and neglect the former7
