Paris passionatcly protests against her occn-
patton. In the Latin quarter placards have
appeared rcitcrating at least in effect, Gen.
Trochu's absurd advice 10 bar and defend the
gates, and appealing to the Parisians "to
make a last struggle should the Germans
L" enter the city" OF course this appeal Is
anonymous; for uttering similar language
Gen. Trochu has been invited b. NJ. Theirs to
resign, thus promptly receiving the fate OF
Gambetta. which the defender OF Paris cOurted
by an act OF folly as great as any suggested
10y the ill-baanced mind that misled the
Provinces. Trochu is not the only official,
however, who has protested against this pro-
posed action of the Germans. NJ. Theirs him
self vigorously opposes it, and though he does
not indulge in naammatOry language like
that of Trochu, he "warns the Ger
"mans of the responsibility they will
Incur Ii is difficult to conceive what this
warning means, or to imagine that it can have
any good effect on the Germans, who under all
the circumstances would be justified in laugh
ing it to scorn. All that there is of danger in
carrying out the design threatens the unarmed
PaIisians. For precedent with which TO justify
the act, if the precedent of one wrong can be
held to justify another, the Germans have only
to point to the French occupation of Berlin
sixty-fve years ago. But there is little need
for threats or protests. The triumphal march
into Paris was to have taken place, as origin
ally fixed, on the 10th inst, but was postponed
until to-day; now it is deferred until next
Monday, and it looks as if it were not to take
place at all. II was yesterday announced that
only portion Of the army will march through
the capital en- route home and even this cere-
mony may be waived. We hope so. The
German triumph has not been so equvocal
that mere displays of power arc needed to
confirm ii to mems eyes

subject of insOlence ia Parliament, and es-
pccially that we do not mean to stand any
more of Mr. Disraeli'5 speeches. Here is an
ex-Prcmer not only accusing us Of bad man
ners and rowdy rhetoric, but even aspers-
ing our parts OF speech. Let us bite
our thumbs at Queen Victoria, which it
is a disgrace 20 her if she bear it! But joking
aside, the spectacle of Mr.. Dsraeli standing
aghast over one of Gen. Buffers speeches, and
rising with pTeternatuml solennity in the
House Of Commons TO call for an immediate
increase of the army and navy to teach Amer
ioa pOliteness, Is an absurdity so wild that one
cannot think of it without amusement. We
know he docs MT mean fight; and if we judged
him only by his early career, we should say
that he does not really believe disrespect to
the British Government to be sin for which
the sinner ought to be swept of the face of
the earth. But Mr.. Disracli has kept very
grand company of late years, and may be he
has come to think that rudencss to tho Foreign
Office is a sort of leze majesty which cannot
be too severely punished, nor avenged at too

The Injunction Of the Attic sage, Knor hgseI has

and desirable to follow Mr. Robert Burns, poet and
exciseman held the same views in regard to the adj

an objective view of ourselves. IL is consequence
Of our human frailty that not able to evolve
an absolutely correct idea of ourselves from the
depths OF our moral consciousness We must see
ourselves rs others see us, before we can gain any
accurate knowledge of our own natures. For tins
purpose mirrors were introduced among men, deriv-
ing their Just powers from an amalgam OF quick
silver. Nothing can be better than the use of mir
rors especially if they are employed with
the praiseworthy object of sef-acquaintance,
or in the case Of the uncomely, with the higher pur-
pose of Christening the spirit Of carnal pride. We
are Therefore pleased to hear Of the recent devotion
of our friend Gen. Butler to looking and can
find no fault whatever in his employing these aids to
reflection except in the trng detail that. accord

some severe critics reduces it TO the level of the pey

Congress- at the last Session, placed Anthra-
cite Coal on the free list. That Coal mot
Bituminous, which still pays duty is now
exorbitantly high owing to quarrel between
the mine-operatOrs and the working miners,
in which the transporting roads have taken
mart on the side OF the operators, by raising
inordinatey the freight on Coal, which the
States cbartering those roads should have for
hidden. HereupOD concerted shout ls
raised. Take the duty off BituminOus
"Coalw to punish The Anthracite men for
having forced mp the price AS tho quarrel
among the coal-producers must somehow be
soon settled, and their prices consequently
come down to n moderate standard, the Free
Traders would like Il chance to claim this re-
duction MS caused by taking off the duty.
They are not whit too honest to do it,
though they might as reasonably attribute 1t
to a change of the moon.
Let no one buy or use Coal beyond the tr-
gent need of the hour, and it will soon be
cheap enough, duty or no duty.

The State Department has lost the service of a
valuable officer, through the resignation by Henry
T. Blow of ST. Louis of his place as Minister to
Brazil. Mr.. Blow has passed the period when the
mere glitter of foreign appointment has much
attraction and his refusal TO remain longer abroad
is due to very American desire to give more active
attention to affairs at home. His influence in Mis-
souri, politics has always been exerted in tho inter
est of harmony and sound Republioanism, and we
may safely look to him for large aid in the endeavor
to redeem the State from its present msfortunes.

10 lOT BITE YOUR THUMB At Us, SiRf
II We knew exactly what Mr. D-racli wanted
the British Government TO ito by way OF cilas-
Using American insOlence, we should doubt
less appreciate more justly than we can nt
present the whitening observations upon eur
behavior which form the most valuable pOr-
zion of lis recent speech in the House Of
Commons. We know very well that Mr.. Dis
raeli does not regard us as gentlemen. for
when lac put an American colonel into his last
novel he was careful TO explain that our
countIyman got into such fine company only
10y virtue Of being Southern planter. We
know too that i'll the philosophy of LOthair'
the greatest of the Creators works is high
old Tory aristocracy around which the rest OF
mankind rcyOlVc as planets around their
sun. TO insult such an arst0cracy as
this is of course q very serious matter; and
Mr.. Disracli is almost us much shocked by the
"Iowdy rhetoric" Of American orators as his
own st. Aldegondc might bc with u rabble
Of shopkeepers and cOstemOngers who should
make faces at him through the windows
while he dined with Mr.. Pinto. Mr.. Disracli
has u complacent conviction that he has never
provoked Us. IL is true we have taken a
good many liberties with the English Ian
guagc; nevertheless he never proposed to
recognize the Southern COnfedcracy, and the
Tory party in It's conduct during our civil
war has nothing to reproach itself with. In
spite of this fOrbcarance, we have several
times spoken unexpectedly of the British
aristocncy, and have gone far as TO assume
towards England more hostile tone than we
permit ourselves to use towards any other ma
ton in the world Actually the Yankee beg
CARS are rude, you know,-positiyely rude
Mr.. Dsracli thinks it is time this insOlcnce
should stop, and he suggests that the de-
parturc of the High Commissioners for Wash
ington will he Il good opportunity to come
to clear understanding on this pOint-that
England cannot he insulted or injured with
impunity,n and will not permit herself TO be
treated differently from other nations. This
means either that England must fight MS, if
Mr.. Sumner or Gen. Butler makes another
rude speech, or that she must threaten to
fight, without the least intention of carrying
her threat into execution. The latter course
is the one which Mr.. Disraeli evidently pre-
fers. Perhaps he has been reading Romeo

And now suppose We tnrn the tables. IF a

ORIGIN OF SPECIES by MEANS OF NAT
URAL SELECTION, or the Preservation
of Favored Races in the struggle for
Life. BY CHARLES DARWIN, NJ. A,
+. r. S., +. G.. s., etc., etc. With
c~opious Index. New addition, with
additions. One vol, II mo. Cloth.
Price $3.50.
A work of great research and profound
learning, The recent progress of opin-
ion on the origin of Species is treated in
the first few pages.
CHAPTER I.-VaridtiOn Under Do
m~estication. Cause Of Variability. There
Is much in this chapter to arrest the at
tention of the reader. No one who has
observed the effect of domestication on
animals and plants can fail to appreciate
the vast learning which he brings to bear
on this mysterious subject. Stock ~raisers
would, doubtless, be greatly benefited
by reading this work.
CHAPTER u.-VaridtiOn Under Ma
ture. Here the naturalist finds much for
sober thought, and the general reader too,
may find many strange facts set forth
which are to be found no where else.
CHAPTER nI.-StruggIc for Existence.
This part of the work cannot fail to inter-
est every individual who may read the
LLH
book. Some exceedingly interesting facts
respecting the complex relation of animals
and plants in the struggle for existence are
brought out in such a way as, at once, to
fasten the attention of the reader. The
author shows that in certain parts of En-
gland cattle determine the existence ofthe
Scotch Fir. In certain parts of South
America insects detetermine the existence
of cattle. 1t is also argued that red clo-
yer depends upon the existence of hum
ble-bees. Nearly all our o~rchidaceous
grasses require the visits of insects. Hum
ble-bees are almost indispensable to the
fertilization of the heart's-ease as well as
some kinds of c%lovers.
This book is full of information for the
student Of nature.
