The news from Paris is insignificant, with
the exception of the brief item which tells us
that the blockade of the Northern railway is
complete. By the terms of Che preliminary
treaty of peace between France and Germany,
this road was the only one entering Paris
north of the Seine by which supplies were to
enter Paris as long as the German occupation
of the eastern and northern forts continued
The Army of Versailles long since closed traf-
flo by the other lines, and the stopping OF the
Northern Railway by the Germans is simply
the completion of the blockade OF Paris
This policy was practically put in operation
some time since, and we may soon expect to
hear of its natural results.

Insurance Companies and the Insurance sys-
TEN are labOring under very grave suspicious,
which the investigation into the affairs of the
Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company is
likely to increase. Very serious charges have
been made against its officers, and the stock
and policy holders appeal to the law for resti-
tuition of their funds and their rights. Many
of the facts which we publish this morning
are of very damaging character, but, of
course, they are &c parte, and the Company
may possibly explain them away. We hope,
for the sake of the system, that it can.

China has given notice to the missionaries
to quit The Imperial Government, possibly
influenced by the prevailing sentiments OF our
Knights of st. Crispin, or taking hint from
the vituperative eloQuence of the Pacific Sen
ators in Congress, has proclaimed that the
Christian education of women must be stepped,
and that the youth of the Empire are not
henceforward TO be imbued with corupting
Christian principles in clear violation of the
philosophy of Confucius. All of which decla-
ration we are free to confess we think
very unwise, in fact the hight of
stupidity in the Orientals; but in
view Of the experience of the Chinese
IN California, and their probable sufferings
should any number of them set foot with in
austrial intent in New-York City, we reserve
our indignant expressions of wrath at such
-asoclal conduct. and refrain from urging

The lecture delivered by the Rev. DR.. Osborn a
Brooklyn gives TO say the least plausible explana
ton of the letters in which, it has been alleged he
offered bride Of railroad stock to the Hon. C. n
Hamilton, when member of Congress from Florida
1t principally amounts TO this: When DR.. Osborn
offered to give" Mr. Hamilton the bonds ho used
the word give very much as does the hotel-keepeI
when he gives" the guest room, but expects bin
to pay for it, More specifically, DR.. Osborn hai
made oath that he, as President of the Great South

Hamilton to give him 100000 Of the stock Of thai
company and liberal salary beside, as a consdera
ton for his influence and vote in Congress Mr.. Ham.

cally not issued and standing in the name Of the
President of the Company. But this did not suit
Mr.. Hamilton and his disappointment is believed ia
be the occasion Of this attack upon the Reverend
Doctor. The alleged offer Of bride by Mr.. ALDER
ger is fatty and circumstantally denied by thai
gentleman over his signature. The threats which
were made about Mr. HamiltOn's political future are
explained to have been rather Of the order Of an
argument on predestination. The whole affair ID
represented as sharp contest for control Of the
Company between its stockholders. The moral oi
the entire business is very evident. When DOCTOR
of divinity wade into railroad stocks and the poll
tics of the lobby, they are out Of their element and
the mistakes they make from lack of prudence are
liable to be attributed to defective morality.

The emperor and dbe queen.

From the New York Evening POst,l
The cable reports that Napoleon, the
ex-Emperor of France, visited Queen
Victoria at Windsor Castle. 1t is not
likely that the details of the interview
will ever be made public. The inter.
viewing" reporter who would attempt to
be present at the scene would probably
get no nearer than the outside wall Of
the castle. t..
1t is, however, easy 10 imagine that
the visit gust have been a rather ex.
citing incident to both the hostess and
her guest. Napoleon cannot forget his
last visit to England nearly a score OF
years ago, when he had just made him
self master of France by an act OF
wholesale murder, when he was wei
coined to London by obsequious munici-
pal officials and by the acclamations OF
a curious and not unfriendly multitude.
Then he received the freedom Of the
city Of London. At Windsor Castle he
was made Knight of the Order Of the
Garter, and was welcomed as the lead
ing man of Europe and the head of the
most powerful continental nation. This,
indeed, vas the first Of the many perso-
nal triumphs which this remarkable ad-
venturer was destined to enjoy.
A few years later, Queen Victoria re-
turned his visit, and Paris welcomed,
amid dazzling festivities, the monarch
Of England. The example Of the Queen
was soon followed; and the Sultan Of
Turkey, the King Of Prussia and the
Gar Of Russia we're in turn the guests
Of Napoleon. The minor kings and
prinoelings Of Europe aOcked to Paris

The MausoIeum at windsor.

Referring to the mausoleum erected
at Windsor to the memory Of the
Prince Consort by his wife, at cost OF
el, 100000 a correspondent says: Each
day Queen Victoria visits this place
alone. Near the tomb is placed a large
deep basket, filed with wreaths and
beautiful flowers. At hand is a small
round table on which are Bible and
prayer book. From these she reads and
prays fervently, kneeling the while
Then she rises. and taking the wreaths,
advances 70 the gaFeonhagps, In the lid
of which small sheet Of plate glass is
inserted through which she can see the
face and form Of the departed. But the
efforts Of the embalmer have not been
thoroughly successful, and the features
that were so beautiful in life are in death
marred by discoloration. Still it is his
face, shrunken and pallid though it
be. Again she prays, thinking OF the
years Of happiness she lived with him,
long passed away, but never to be for
gotten. She stands gazing there till she
can gaze no more with tears Gently
she places the forget-me-nots upon the
marble coffin, takes one last, lingering
look with her dim eyes, and slowly re-
tires, while from above the bell tolls out
a melancholy requiem for the idolized

From the World.
The London Economist is perhaps the
highest authority in English periodical
literature upon the class Of topics which
its title indicates as its speciality. In
the light of the following paragraph il
would be paying 0 poor compliment to
its English cotemporaries TO say that il
is one Of the best informed upon Ameri-
can politics. This is its horoscope ol
the next Presidential election:
"The two parties have this year to de-
eide on the men whom they will next
year "runn for President, and the Re
publican party has nearly made up its
mind TO accept President Grant. He is
at the head of the Government, his
military reputation is not yet exhausted,
and he has no opponent OF mark. There
is Mr.. Horace Greeley, the editor OF the
New York Tribune, who is named as the
proteetionist par excellence of the party;
ard there is Western man, Mr..
Gratz, Governor, apparently. of Mis-
souri,, of whom We know nothing, but
whose name is decidedly coming for
ward. No one, however is suggested
likely to arouse general enthusiasm. and
President Grant is as yet the most promi-
nent and popular candidate
The following trivial inaccuracies mar
the force OF those statements; /. The
two parties have not this year to decide
upon the men whom they will run for
President. 2. The Republican party has
not nearly made up its mind to accept
President Grant" but, if the tone of all
its orators and journalists is TO be trusted,
have fully made up its mind to reject
him. 3. Undoubtedly, there is Mr..
Horace Greeley, editor of the New York
Tribune; but then be is as liable to have
the lightnings of ChappaquG singe his
white head as to be nominated for PResi-
dent by anybody outside Of the Tribune
Office and in his senses. 4. If Mr..
Gratz means, as we suspect Mr. b.
Gratz Brown, Of Missouri, his name is
unquestionably "ooming forward" hav,
ing advanced already from the final
Brown to the Intermediate GratE, and
we may expect to see It in the Econo-
mist in the form of the initial b. Mr..
Gratz" has the misfortune, however, to
be regarded by Republicans of the straiter
sect as little better than traitor, and is
in the same box as regards eligibility to
the Republican nomination as Mr..
Greeley. Excepting these errors the
