THE RULE OF PARIS BROKEN.

Paris is France" has been for century
an axiom the world over. Its influence In
France has been overshadowing and 1t,
cluster has always intimidated the provin
.ces. But the recent contest in that city
must relieve the provinces from this great
bugbear and the result must be very great
as to the future of that people.
The struggle beween the Versaillists and
the Communists was strictly one between
the Provinces and Paris. The issue was un,
rnistakable and the end was looked for ca.
-gerly by those familiar with the long contest
then for the first time fairly defined. The
Communists have been overcome and
their overthrow will forever break the
spell Paris has so long maintained. Here
after in the affairs of France the provinces
will have a voice. and its future is, there
fore, more hopeful.
In this view new light is shed upon the
future, and the contest for the government
is in some measure explained. Paris,
robbed Of its supreme power, will not have
so large voice in determining who shall
, rule France. Its idle population, its dread
ed mob power will not march through its
streets and say who shall rule the people.
Fed by lavish public expenditures
aud the grossest corruption, in their need
and restlessness they might accept Napo-
leon, who knew SO well how to pander to
their tastes. But would the brave men
from the provinces who bore the brunt of
the terrible battles-of last September
choose to reinstate as their ruler the man
who, at the head of hundred thousand
men, surrendered his sword without q
struggle worthy of the army he pretend
cd to leads VIII the provinces give over,
on the other hand, to the priests of the
Romish Church their choice, which would
now, probably, be the Count de Chambord,
who, in his recent address, throws himself
fairly into their hands?
Is it not more likely, that the men of
the INTERIOR free from the demoralizing
influences of so corrupt II city as Paris, and
more liberal in their tendencies, will use
their influence in. giving to France a
wiser, fairer and more prosperous govern
ment than she has for years enjoyed? TO
US ii seems, that the fact that all of France
is to have a voice in its government, is
more promising for government which
will be administered for all, not for Paris
and its people at the expense of the prov
inces, and therefore more popular and
much stronger.

THE ALABAMA AND CHATTANOOGA ROAD


Last week w. y. c. Jones, a creditor of
the \. & c. Railroad, filed petition be-
fore Judge Busted, of Montgomery, Ala,
asking that the road be adjudged n bank
rupt, which, after hearing, was done.
The Times represents that there was great
excitement among the creditors of the
road in Chattanooga, on Saturday. The
laborers along the line are represented as
being in n starving condition. An attempt
was made on Saturday to send them car
load of provisions, but the engineers of
the road, who are on strike for their
wages, would not allow an engine TO 70
out or even be fired up. 1t is said that the
authorities of the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga Road have given orders that no
more trains of the \. 6, G. Road be allowed
10 pass over their track to Wanhatchie,
until arrears are paid, amounting TO S12,-
600.
Stanton shows n determination to fight
the bankruptcy proceeding, and has sued
the road for S500,000, on account of money
advanced and endorsements given to the
road. He says he will see to it, as far as in
his power, that the hands who built the
road and those who furnished them pro-
visions, are paid what is due them.

How a KISS MADE y PAINTER.-The
great artist, Banjamin West, said:
"A kiss from my mother made me Il
painter" We will give the anecdote re-
ferred to;
"A little boy named Benjamin West,
baby asleep in a cradle. He looked at it
kindly, and felt pleased to see it smile in
its sleep. He wished that he could draw
picture of the baby; and seeing a piece of
paper on the table, with pen and ink, lie
tried what he could do. When his moth
er came in he begged her not to he angry
with him for touching the pen, ink and
paper and then he showed her the picture
he had made. His mother saw baby's
likeness, and was 50 much pleased that
she kissed her little boy. Then he said if
some flowers she held in her hand and so
he went on from that time, trying to do
better and better until he became one of
the best painters in the world"
In after life he said it was this kiss from
his mother that made him an artist.

view Of the reasons why those who confne thelr
investigations to particular classes OF disease
should attain TO greater and moro ACCURATE
knowledge OF the best mode OF treating such
diseases than those physicians who are engaged
IN general practice, or IN treating diseases OF
every kind TO which the human race Is subject.
We all know that this rule applies 70 and Is true
In every branch Of business, whether proies-
sional or mechanical. There arc lawyers who
conhne their attention almost exclusively, TO
questions affecting the ttie 70 ,In lands ~ a mo i nra,

Psuch cases, because they become noted ana

OF this city, has o higher reputation as q Iahd
lawyer than In any other prancn Oh ne pIoics Y.
sion, and the reason Is, that for many, years his
attention has been very largely, nay, lmost en-.

A YOUNG husband in Baltimore is in
a nice pickle. From some cause he
concluded his wife did not love him as
she should, and lie determined to test
that element. Therefore lie wrote a
note telling her that he was going to
drown himself in the canal, and that
before she read the contents of that
note his spirit would be lowering over
her, observing how she took his death.
The would-be suicide entrusted the
note to u small boy, but the boy mis-
took the direction and carried the note
to 4 next-door neighbor of his wife.
Not liking to communicate the dread
full intelligence to the unlucky woman,
the lady handed the note to an officer,
with instructions If possible to prevent
the rash act. The officer hurried oil,
and sure enough found the man oil the
bank of the canal. Rushing up, the
officer seized the unlucky husband and
marched him of to the station house,
Notwithstanding his protestations that
1t was all u joke, and that he did not
intend to commit suicide, etc. After
the incarceration Of the husband, the
note was handed to the wife, with the
information that he had been saved.

doubt, that it was the moral effect of
that victory which would accomplish

has verified the assertion, and 1t will
also establish the same principle in
regard to the Kuklux bill. Its moral
effect has already gainsayed the shall
low logic and frothy d~enunciations
that have been hurled against it. An
