year. He was city merchant, bache-

brother had sons and daughters who were

Jehu, a secret society, formed during the
occupation of France by the allied ar.
mics, by Frenchmen who had sworn to
kill as many Cossacks as possible. This
time the victims of the Jehus were to be
the Prussians Uhlans. But the first raid
which Vallon and his Jehus made upon

for universal amnesty. It is another step

growth in a cowardly and laundering
anxiety for party success which has pois-
oned the whole reconstruction policy. If
successful, it surrendcrs all the benefits
ofNorthern victory but one. With the
single exception of the emancipation of
the negro, it would have been better to
have let the South leave the Union. We
have Numbered and played traitors till

ception, are all wasted.
1t is natural Mr.. Beecher should advo-
cate such measure. He supported Andy

A case under the civil rights law has
just been brought to close in Richmond,
which will,we trust, have good influence
upon the negro haters throughout the
country. In 1865, Senators Robinson and
Gilbert, of South Carolina, together with
two of the State Senators, both colored,
namely, the present Chief Justice Wood
and Rainy, now members of the House,
bought first class ticket from Charleston
to Washington. After reaching the Vir-
ginia line the colored rIen were forced
into the smoking car, the President Of
the road being on the train and directing
It. The colored men brought suit in the
United States Circuit Court against the
railroad company for damages. When
the case came to trial, the determination
to press it vigorously became apparent,
the officers Of the road immediately offer
ed to pay handsomely, and the case was
compromised. The case has had one
good effect already aside from the act of
justice rendered to the men named, for
the officers of the company have declared
that hereafter, whether they conclude to
allow blacks to ride with first class pass.

"The arrival of the Emperor Napoleon
in England has given rise to variety

ever. Napoleon III. may not be solemn.

but certainly he will not explain his
views and intentions to every enterpri-
sing person who, per fas AIT ne fzs, Gets

the health of the Emperor is very bad
indeed but we are informed that. on
the contrary there is. marked improve
ment in his health. The story of the Ma.
tional Guards of Paris being bribed bv
Bonapartists gold is sufficiently refuted
by the fact that 'Bonapartists gold,is very
scarce, and that the Benville men and
their adherents are and have been in
great need of money. The ex-Enlperor
will not sanction intrigues in his behalf
Whenever he deems it necessary. he will

Vassar College has something new

recently received the appointment as
dentist to the above institution. He will
look into all the young ladies' mouths
once week. This is certainly a practical
age. No one thing can exert a more
profound influence upon the home, school
and church interests Of the future than
the teeth of young ladies. How strange
that this branch of education-the proper
care of ones teeth-sbould have been
neglected in all our institutions f.learn-
ing until this late day. Bad teeth bring
on indigestion, which is the active cause
OF Ill temper, Caudle lectures, and di-
Vorces; it leads also to gloom and
melancholy on religious subjects, end
this is the airline to infdelity and the
devil One of the legitimate results Of
dyspepsia and its natural accompaniment
an unpleasant home, is that husbands and
sops are driven to the drinking saloons
O nights, where they contract habits Of
intemperance that lead to poverty and
crime. For all these things the defectiye
teeth of those destined to become wives
and mothers are responsible. It is then

the community, that the mouths of our
young ladies at school be looked into j
