The News from Paris.

Ihe rlotous demonstrations in Paris
suggest again the bloody courses Of the
great revolution, when the reign OF terror
prevailed and the guillotine was governor
of France. 1t has long been apparent
that there would be great danger OF in
ternal dissensions and bloody commotions
as soon as the pressure of the German
armies should be Withdrawn and the
French left to themselves. Government
in France is in chaotic condition the
old system has been completely swept
away and the new one has not been Sc
eurely established. Affairs again, as in
1898, are in transition. And such out
breaks as arc recorded in the dispatches
of to day will make the transition to
despotism inevitable. Every vestige of
republicanism will be lost in this mad
vortex of passion, crime and blood, and
the restoration to order will be accom-
plished by the strong hand of the mill
tary power. Thus the falsely called
Republicanism of France always defeats
its own professed objects. It's advocates
never learn anything by experience, and
by their excuses defeat every attempt to
establish a steady republican government
and thereby make the triumph of mon
arehy, with despotic authority, unavoida-
Bile. The nation takes refuge in it from
the mad violence of bloody anarchists
who profess the name of republicans.
The scenes of blood like those of the
great revolution have again commenced.
Already in Paris the insurgents appear
to have obtained the ascendency and to
have everything their own way. They
proceed at cnce, and as by instinct, to
the work of assassination they have
their committee of direction, their tribu
nal Of condemnation, their instruments
of execution; they occupy the spot on
which the sittings of the old revolution
airy tribunal was held, aud take up the
trade of murder as naturally as if they
were the lineal successors of the bloody
triumvirate, and had been wrongfully
kept out of their rights and the exercise
of their legitimate functions from the
days of the reign of terror till now.
How is this to end? The Germans
unless they are called upon, will not be
, likely to interfere, unless, indeed, they
find it necessary to do SO in order to en-
force compliance with the terms of the
treaty just made. 1t may be that the
Government of the National Assembly
represented by Thicrs and his associates
will be compelled to ask the Emperor o.
E Germany to send forces back to subdue
the insurgents and restore order, SO thai
they may be enabled to fulfill the condi-
tlons of the treaty of peace Certainly
, the best way to scatter and eytingu!sf
the inhammable materials which are St
rapidly kindling into seditiop, is to cal
in the German troops to do it. Tha
method would be short and effective

TALE OF A NosE.-The.e was nose
the largest nose this world did ever
see; there was face that carried it
aloft triumphantly. There was fist that
smote that nose, and caused it sore to
bleed there was man that bore that
fist, aud gloried in the deed. There was
a catch-poll seized that man, a catch-poll
lank and wien; there was Judge that
sentenced him, and sent him off to prison.
There was a nose all bruised and black,
and scanned with many scars there was
rueful- looking face behind the prison
bars.

NEW GAS LAMP.-We have been experiment
ing with new gas lamp, now being introduced
in this market by R. C. Hill Son, at their drug
establishment First street. The new lamp
requires no chimney wick each lamp has a
patent burner, which generates the gas it con-
sumes; it gives clear white and brilliant light,
and, SO far experience goes, it is equal to
the best coal gas burners; and as each lamp is a
perfect gas factory in itself, it is much cheaper.
The lamps are made of metal, therefor are in no
danger Of being broken by carelessncss, but will
last lifetime. So far, we like them better than
any lamp We have used. Go and examine for
yourselves Fred. Hill will take pleasure in ex-
hibiting them to all who may desire to invest

A GREAT CANAL SCuEME.-It has
been understood fer some time that q
novel plan was proposed in the Mississippi
valley for more speedy and economical
connection by water with the Atlahtic
cities and Europe. As we have Some
intination by telegraph, it is no less than
to cut ship canal from the Mississippi
river below New Orleans across the coun-
t-y to Mobile bay, then following the
parallel of the gulf shore to the bay of
s.. Marks, crossing the peninsula of Flor
ida to the St. Johns river, and then
again following the coast northward to
Charleston, South Carolina. According
to the New York Euening Post, the plan
is said to have originated with Col. p. Il
Raiford, of Texas, but little atte otion
paid to it until he visited some Of the
northern Mississippi cities to explain the
details and give his estimates of the cos.
of the proposed work. The subject was
laid before the St Louis Board of trade
lately, and after careful examination
that body has recommended the scheme
aud signed report, which makes what
the Post terms admirable promises. That
paper adds:
The length of the canal will be about
800 miles. The larger part of the route
is already supplied with natural chanr els,
according to the accounts of the friends
of this scheme, in the land locked lakes
and bays that abound on the gulf coast.
A canal is already cut from the Missis-
sippi river at point six miles below New
Orleans to Lake Borgne, making the pro-
posed water paths already completed to
Bon Secour bay, the eastern branch of
Mobile bay, distance of l63 miles.
From there to the bay of st. Marks is a
little over 200 miles OF this distance it
is said only so miles will need canalling,
the remainder of the distance being trav-
ersed by navigable rivers or covered by
arms of the Gulf. From ST. Marks bay
| to the confluence of the Suwanee and
Santa Fe rivers, 80 miles would have to
be canalled but tho ground is low and
the expense would be paratively light.
TO the east of the last named point the
route would follow deep tributary of the
st. Johns river nearly the whole 60 miles
to that river. The remainder ofthe route
to Charleston would necessarily be more
expensive. But it is asserted that only
40 miles of the whole route require
dredgings,- and that the whole expense
of the canal wonld not exceed s12, ,OOO,-
900. The plan appears plausible. No
doubt it would benefit the St. Louis and
the mississippi valley in general. New
Orleans, however, can scarcely be ex-
pected to be enthusiastic over . scheme
that necessitates transferring good deal
of its export business to an Atlantic port.
The worst feature Of the scheme is that,
before it is fairly in favor with the parts
of the country most interested, its advo.
Gates talk of placing their dependence
upon Governments aid and support through
the much abused system of subsidies and
land grants.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-During the
sessions of the High Commission, the
past week, the relations of the two coun-
tries to each other have been considered
in a general way, with a view to seeing
what concessions might be made By either
side before any particular dispute shall
be taken up for settlement. The impress
sion which prevailed at first was that
England was prepared to offer the olive
branch, and that mere bubbles would be
discarded, for candid and frank avowal
adjusted but this has given place to a
fear that England is not disposed to make
any magnanimous concessions, and that
if any arrangements is entered into for the
settlement of the pending question, il
would be on the basis of equivalent. The
Commissioners seem to incline rather ts
the plan for purchasing the right to ou1
fisheries, to fish freely in Canadian waters
without restrictions, which is looked upor
as an easy mode of settlement. On tht
other hand. it is certain that popular sen
timent would condemn the adjustment 0
our differences with England by ou
agreeing to pay England money. 1t il
said that neither revival of the Recipro
city Treaty, nor payment of considerabl
sum for the right of fishing in Canadian
waters, would be popular with ou
people.

A STARTLING Paopos1r1oN.-Unde

A STARTLING PRoPosITIoN.-Unde
this heading, the S. F. Chronicle of the
7th announces that the Supreme Court
of California, at that writing, had under
advisement the most startling proposition
ever submitted for judicial decision in
that State. The point involved in the
proposition is briefly thus: The grand
jury indicted party for murder; he was
tried 10 the District Court, and after the
jury had been out for a long time, on
their representation that it would be i'm
possible for them to agree, the Judge OF
the Court discharged them from the
further consideration of the case, to
which the defendant objected. \ pcti>
tion is filed stating these facts, and the
prisoners counsel demands the uncondi-
tioual discharge of his client, on the
ground that if subjected to another trial
he will t,cice be put in jeopardy for his
life, which is unconstitutional. As he
is indicted for murder he can be tried for
no other offense, and his discharge must
follow if the position assumed by his
counsel be correct. Practically the point
is this: If any one who commits the
crime of murder can secure a disagree
ment of the first jury called to try the
issue, his discharge follows, because his
life cannot again be put in jeopardy. 1t
will be seen that one obstinate man in a
jury of twelve men can procure disa-
greement, aud jury must be discharged
after having case under advisement a
reasonable length of time. Here is a
nice point offered for solution by the
Supreme Court, and its Judgment in the
matter is awaited with lively interest. A
decision in the affirmative would practi-
cally put an end to all such thing as
justice in the courts.
