PEACE CONFIRMED.

Our dispatches this afternoon an
nounee that the National Assembly OF
France has, by vote of $40 to lO7, ratl-
fed the preliminaries of peace between
that country and Prussia. The prelim-
;naries are the main points and embrace
the cession ofterritory and the payment OF
money What remains to be done re-
lates TO the details of the main points
tlast after all the multitude of reports
of peace, it has now arrived. The great
war has ended, and the two nations are
at Cdiplomatic) peace. The armies OF
Prussia after doing Paris, will
take up the line of march for
the Rhine, and go home to sor-
row, TO widows, to weeds Of woe, and to
orphans. France is PROSTATE and Ger
many is badly crippled. Now let Paris
become the Paris of other days. Now
let the historians write and the poets
sing. Let Paris resume her ascendaney
over the fashions and the bills of fare.
Down with the chassepot and needle
gun. Up with the people, the country,
and down with braggarts, tyrants ana
impostors. William, the gallant old
King is famous, and Napoleon, who
forced the war, is very ehectually
snnelched.

WASHINGTON.
Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March At is quite a
notable fact that the House, though
within three days Of the end Of the
short session, has not yet been obliged
to sit at night. Most of the measures
which will be last are those which ought
to be lost, the income tax repeal bill and
that abolishing the ranking privilege
excepted. The income tax would be re-
pealed but for the factious opposition Of
a few Western members who are deter
mined there shall be no further redue-
ton Of taxation unless it comes off the
tariff
The principles which the House has
so long eontended for in the Indian bill,
viz: that the Senate had no right to
make treaties with the Indians, tri-
umphed to-day, the Conference Com
mittee having agreed 10 an amendment,
which provides that no more treaties
shall be made with the Indian tribes.
It does not invalidate any treaty legally
made prior TO 1867, nor recognize
specifically any treaty made since that
time.
Senator Patterson is hard at work pre-
pairing the report Of the Retrenchmeni
Committee, giving the result Of the inves
tigation intothe management Of the New
York custom-house. Nothing concern
ing the result Of the investigation or the
character Of the forthcoming report hal
been made public by the committee, ex
cept that the statements made on infor
nation from other sources are denied.

GREEN LEAVES.

There is perceptible bit of green
upon the trees on the other side OF our
inland sea-just little. And so the
trees growing on the soil sacred to the
fame of Clayton may do what an Irish
man once could not without great risk
of a broken neck. But the noble oaks
do not mind Clayton, nor other mon
sters. They tolerate, while they DEFY
the panther and the bear, the thunder
shock and the storm. They wave through
all seasons and battle with nothing but
Time. That, they cannot conquer. Long
NAV they wave. Each has history I'M
written, but still a history. 1t is March,
and this is why they prepare 10 wear the
green. The birdswill be backpretty soon.
They may already be there, for 1t IS
not known to man where they pass the
winter But wherever they are, that
grand old forest will ring again to their
choruses as they Autter and fly and
sing, coquetting with one another in the
balm and beauty of the spring. The
eagle will be there, with his mighty
wings and bloody beak, watching the
family of Autterers. The owl and the
hawk will glare upon the robin and the
dove But the moeking-bird viii lead
the choir, and pour from his throat
strains that will be the joy and the envy
of those that cannot sound through all
the gamut Of Nature. Is it not very
pleasant to have listened to such tones,
time over again, and feel the stirring
of warmer blood IN the yeins2 Is 1t not
beautiful TO watch the slow but sure pro
cess by which Nature makes her toilet
for the grand frolic Of SUMMER Is 1t
not sweet to hope that we shall all be
there and 90 through it and look upon
the disrobing as we have looked upon the
enrolling? And then may We not hope
still further, that many summers will
come and 20 before the green grass and
the tear-nursed flower shall tell to those
who gave us their love and their friend
ship, the spot where our feet grew weary
and we halted forever? We are afraid
that we all have too much business, and
not enough of Nature in our minds.
Some one has said that the true
philosophy of life is to make the
most Of the present. The mem
cries of the past and the hopes Of
the future are unsubstantial. One
becomes dim and Aickers out, while the
other bursts as a bubble. To be with
the present is to be with Nature-to be
with the valleys, the mountains, the
rivers, the rivulets, the flowers and the
birds. There it is that care may be
thrown off and the pale cheek of sorrow
gather new freshness. There it is tina
the bruised heart may gather strength
and learn to beat to the music Of ne'
hopes that speak Of life yet to be live
and yet to be blest. Welcome to tn
green leaves.

ST. PAUL, March "A fire broke out
at $3.50 this morning, which destroyed
the American House, several dry goods
houses, saloons, ETC., in all about twenty
buildings, on Second and RAFFERTY, streets.
The families occupying the upper floors
lost their all, and are rendered
homeless The total loss is from $780,
600 to 100000, with little or no in
surance. 1t was the most destructive

put head on the elder, and finally shut

A sIelwh Load 81 Ladies on FIRE.

From the St. Joseph MOI union.l
A most singular accident, and one
that should serve as warning, occurred
Yesterday afternoon. Three ladies had
arranged sort of leap-year sleigh-ride.
A fiery charger and handsome cutter
stood at the gate. To insure comfort,
one of the ladies had provided two hot
bricks, carefully wrapped in cloths,
which were first deposited IN the body OF
the sleigh, after which they got in and
away they went, laughing and Jingllng
over the snow.
In a very short time one of the excur-
sionists remarked that she smelled
smoke. but nothing was thought of it,
A few minutes later, at the corner OF
Tenth and Massanie streets, the odor
became so strong that the fair riders
became alarmed and lifted the lap robe,
when the smoke rolled out in dense
volumes from the vicinity Of their pedal
extremities, and almost instantly flames
burst forth.
One of the ladies leaped from the
sleigh, her feet caught in the robes, and
she was dragged for some little distance,
fortunately without sustaining any ma
terial injury. Another, more prudent,
grasped the reins and stopped the horse,
when the flames were speedily subdued.
The result was, three dresses, three sets
of skirts, etc, two fine robes and a
sleigh-ride completely spoiled, and three
estimable ladies badly scared.
II seems that the cotton and newspa-
pers in which the bricks were wrapped
ignited, and of course the fire was d.
rectly communicated with all inflamma-
BILE material adjacent. The ladies re-
turned crestfallen to their homes, wiser,
if not happier, and over cup Of Bohea,
passed resolutions notwithstanding hot
bricks, and recommending gentlemen as
sunerior comforters

Fire-Desperafe Fight.
BRooKLYN, March last night a
fire broke out in John Hyman's clothing

caused by an over-heated stove. Loss
on stock, $4,000. Insured for $1,000.
The shoe store of Jacob Warshowsky,
No. 1873 Fulton street, was damaged to
the amount of $500. Insured. The
building, belonging to Bowen, was dam
aged $1,000. Fully insured. Mrs. Hy-
man and children were upstairs when
the fire broke out, and barely escaped
with their lives.
A desperate fight took place in the
saloon of Patrick Sutton, on Fulton
avenue, yesterday afternoon, which will
probably result in the death of one of
the parties. 1t appears that man
named Davidson, living opposite entered
Sullivan's place, and began to quarrel
with him. Thomas Sullivan interiered
and attempted to quiet the disturbance,
when Davidson drew a knife and stab
bed Thomas in the side, inhicting fear
ful.wound two inches long and one inch

resurrection of an ephemeral and long
forgotten negro ditty, without merit of
any kind Nilsson heard some Octoge-
marian African singing the Sewanee
river" and innocently mistook it for a
national air, After Nilsson Sang it,
musical snobdom discovered new beau
ties in it, and for a time the Sewanee
