WHERE TO APPLY THE KNIFE.
Yes, it is my conviction that the
American people, if they desire to re-
store the original purity of our pablo
life, must direct their attention to the
head as well as the members of the
body polite. They have to prove
that when the head of the State does
not understand the great responsibility
of his example, it is not Indifferent to
the people, and that the people con.
slider the moral tone of our public life

- There must be, after all, a deep
seated affection in the hearts of Frencl,
men for the 'tri-color, the flag under
which so many French armies, under
successive dynasties have marched to
victory. When the COmte de Cham
bord, in his recent manifesto, proposed
to give to Frgnce the old Bourbon flag,
with its white field and its golden lilies
he aroused sentimental antagonism,
even among his Legitimist supporters,
which has given the death-blow to his
kingly aspirations. Some of the most
prominent. of the 'Legitimists now at
Versailles have replied in a collective
note to the Comte's manifesto, stating
that, with respectful frinness, they
take leave of a Prince whom, up to
that time, they had regarded as their
chief. 1t is not denied that probably
the Comte de Chambord himself knew
in advance what would be the resultVf
his manifesto, foEthe Franeais, a legit-
imist journal, calls his action "the last
epilogue of a great revolution; in his
tory, where we sec so many things
come to an end, we know of few ends
SO dignified and so touching!"

THE Pos1rIoN OFF THE Democracy

THE POSITION OFF THE DEMOCRACY
to plant themselves on the Constitu
ton. They have doneSit from the ear
Hest days Of our political history. 1t
is nothing more than they profess to Go
now. Not only do they intend to hold
fast by its authority as the sheet-auel,
or of safety now, but they are resolved
to hold the Radicals to it also. The
Democratic doctrine is, that the Con-
stitution is the supreme law of the
Union, to be respected and obeyed in
all its parts. 1t is to be accepted as
whole, none of its provisions being ig-
nored or distrusted for partizan ends.
The amendments being a part of the
instrument, they possess equal authori-
ty with the original body. The whole
is received by Democrats as the rule
for the country in its federative capac-
ity. 1t is precisely the same ground
in respect to the amendments that
was taken by Massachusetts, Democrats
two years ago. This being well es-
tablsled, we have but to address our
selves to the living questions of the
hour. They are many and we,ghty,
and demand the most serious thought.
Radicalism prefers to evade them, and
raise issues that are dead or irreve-
liant; but the Democracy will push on
to the adjustment of what is urgent
and alive. Both the State and Nation
al Democratic conventions will fully
express this determine ion. They will
take position on the constitution as it
is, and demand its just and equal en-
forcement throughout the Union. And
on this mistaken basis they will ad-
vance to the removal of abuses in gov
eminent, the restoration of sound prin-
ciples of administration and the relief
ola tax-ridden country.-[ Boston Post.

THE cAUTroNARY STORM SIGNAL.

When the Signal Service" of the United
States was first put in operation, the peo-
p lie generally looked npon it as doubtful
experiment. But the experience of each
day has served to strengthen the conf
dence of the people in the scheme, and
now that branch of the service is regarded
with as much interest as any other. Scien-
tific men regarded it in that light from
the beginning, but now the interest is not
confined to men of science.
Those engaged in the signal service have
been constantly improving it, and turning
the knowledge acquired into useful pur-
poses. The latest improvement is the
Cautionary Storm Signal, which consists
OF red flag with a black square in the
centre by day, or red light by night, to
De displayed from the posts of observa-
ton, when any locality is threatened by
stormy or dangerous weather. The fol-
lowing is the official text of the order ex-
planning the uses of this signal:
The cautionary signal of the Signal Service
q. S. Army red flag with black square in the
centre by day, and red light by night-dis-
played at the office OF the observer, and other
prominent places throughout any city, signifies:
l. That from the information had at. the Cen
trail Office in Washington, probability of
stormy weather has been deduced for the part
or place at which the cautionary signal is dis
played, or in that vicinity.
2. That the danger appears to be so great ae
to demand precaution on the part of Ravigators
and others interested-such as an examination
of vessels or other structures to be endangered
by storm-the inspection of crews, rigging
&c, and general preparations for rough weather.
8. It calls for frequent examination of local
barometers and other instruments. by ship cap
tains, or others interested, and the study of the
local signs of the weather. as Clouds &c. By
this means those who are expert may often be
informed as to the need of the precaution to
which the cautionary signal calls attention. or
may determine that the danger is over-estimated
or past.
By careful reading of this, there need
be no misunderstanding of the signal, and
no cause, therefore, for any unnecessary
alarm at its display. We look forward to
the time when the practical use OF this
branc= of the service will be reduced to a
certainty, in protecting the people from
storms which might otherwise prove fear
fully destructive.

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF SoMNAMBULIsM.
Some friends visited La Fontaine one eve
ming and found him asleep. While talking
with his wife, La Fontaine entered in his
nightcap, without shoes or stockings, just as
he had risen from his bed. His eyes were
half open, but he evidently saw no object he
crossed the dining-room where the party
were setting, went into little closet or cab
met that served him for a study, and shut
himself up in the dark. Some time after, he
came out, rubbing his hands, and testifying
much satisfaction, but still asleep; he then
went into the dining-room, quite unconscious
of the presence of any one, and retired to bed.
His wife and friends were very curious to
know what he had been about in the dark
They all went into his study, and found there
fable newly written, the ink being still wet
which brought conviction that he had written
and composed it during his dream. The adj
mirers of this most original author may wish
to know which fable was composed under
these extraordinary circumstances. 1t is one
that is replete with the most natural and
touching language = it is that which
unites the utmost grace of expression
language is capable of-in a word, it
is the celebrated fable of ''The Two Pigeons.
