The Thunderer's Response TO Ben
Butler,
LONDON, Feb. 2.-Herald Special The
Times comments on Gen. Buffers resolu-
ton welcoming the Irish exiles, as an IN
precedented proceeding. If serious, it
can only be trested as an act of avowed
hostility. We cannot, however, regard
it as more than part of a discreditable
game pursued by INSCRIPTIONS politicians,
who are doing their best to pervert the
character of the American representative
government, and are anxious to secure
the Irish vote.

Yes, Rumsellers I have seen your
signs hung out all over this city of Proy-
dence, but have not as yet been in
dueed to step inside and try the flavor
of your choice liquors. [ see samples"
enough of you drink and yuor dreadful
business outside of your sample rooms"
The alms-houses, prisons and reform
schools are full of your samples" Any
decent man ought to be ashamed of such
samples You are all the time work
ing against schools and churches and the
best interests of the city-its good name
and credit whether at home or abroad.
The city police and officers of the courts,
and ministers of the Gospel are kept
busy night and day, trying to undo the
harm and mischief you are doing-all
for the SAX of a living as you call it.
You had better not live at all, than to
leave such a record behind you to be
read and remembered, when you are
dead. Oh! quit such business! Sur
render license, which God never gave
you, and do something which will make
the world better rather than worse.

THINK OF IT.-Young man, you was
drunk -! Yes, whatever that term invol-
yes the term is applicable to you. Per-
haps it was the first time, oh ! let it be
the last.
Drunk What does it mean? The
stupefcation of faculties given you for
noble ends; the prostitution of faculties
fitted to bless your family and society,
the EQUALIZATION and degeneracy of man
hood. What does it mean? Sorrow,
deep, poignant sorrow on the part. of
those who love you Of those in society
who respect you; loathing and disgust
on the part Of many who anticipate much
from you. Oh, stop while yet the appe-
tite is not confirmed stop while yet
your mind is only obscured, not entirely
demoralized. Look to the future, see
how fame and usefulness invite you to
win golden rewards; oh, let not sordid
and gross indulgence load your feet with
weight that forbids your acceptance of
those rich offers; allow not passion to
take possession of you that shall sink
you into the loathsomeness of prema-
ture drunkard' 8 grave in the very pres
ence of life of honor that you may and
should live.

FRENCH DEMOCRACY.

Under the brief Republican regime of
1851, it was smartly said that the
chief difficulty of the republic was lack
of republicans. At present, badness of
quality seems even more glarlng than de-
fciency Of numbers.
Those who assumed power at Paris
last summer on the downfall of the EN-
pire were deemed sincere and even zeal
Gus republicans but their acts proved
that they did not believe the French
masses republican Having hastily or
dered an election, they deliberately eoun-
fernandez it; so sincere republican as
Louis Blanc insisting that the callow re-
public could not be safely consigned to
the tender mercies of Universal Suf-
frage.
At length, the elimination of a long
series of swiftly succeeding military dis
asters in the fall of Paris compelled the
improvised Government to sue tor peace.
Bismarck very properly insisted that
some popular basis for or sanction Of the
government was essential, or France
So National Assembly was summoned !;
but Gambetta issued decree excluding
all who had served either the Bourbon,
the Orleans, or the Nopoleonic Honar
chy, from the list of candidates No
doubt, this was intended to compel the
return of republican majority but
what confession Of republican weak
ness!
The Assembly was chosen. It adher-
ed to the republic, and made Theirs chief
of the State. How could it have done
better? The fortunes of France were at
the lowest ebb she needed her very
highest ability, her ripest experience, at
the helm and where should these be
found if not.in Adolphe Theirs? The
civilized world emphatically ratified the
choice.
Now, this Government, based on Uni
versal Suffrage, and in fact as well as in
name republican, is retelled against by
the Social Democracy Of Paris as though
it were the incarnation of Legitimacy
and divine right. They fight it as they
never ventured to fight the military des-
potism of Louis Napoleon. The fact
that it sprang directly from a popular
vote gives it no sacredness in their eyes.
They suspect that it is not in hearty &C.
cord with them; they know that it will
not accept the dictum Of Partisan mob
for the authentic vote of France so
they seize cannon, and construct barri-
cades, and make war on the National
authorities. They will have nothing but
republic; and they render a re-
public impossible. They will allow the
Assembly to sit nowhere but in Paris (;
and they exclude it from Paris by barri-
cades and batteries. Alas France

The CHOICE oF WIyEs.-A writ:
er in the Golden Age says
"Wives are not selected on account
OF their dress or ornaments in one
case out of ten. Brilliant dress and
jewels attract attention, and BRAIN
less tops and dandies futter about
the young woman who makes the
greatest display, anxious for the ex-
element and notoriety which fir
tation affords But there is no love
in their hearts, and no marriage in
their intention, unless the splendid
costume cover more wealth than
worth. Serious-minded, sensible,
young men look with suspicion up
on the girl who is extensively and
showily dressed. They count the
cost of that sort of display. They
ask themselves wether they can af-
ford to clothe and adorne wife in
an equally costly style. How a
man with salary Of fifteen hun
dred dollars can maintain a wife
whom it costs a thousand dollars
per year to dress, is a problem they
are not mathematicians enough to
solve. They doubt whether wo-
man who has a passion for snowy
dress and costly jewelry can have
the intelligence, the seriousness of
heart, the interest in common things
the deep and abiding affection
which fit one for a life companion. :"

DEATH.-What is death? It is
something which we think of as
being afar- off; which we hear about.
perhaps dream about, but never
think about, but never think
very near. But bye and h-e
death will come close to us: we
will feel It's cold hand clutching at
our heartstrings; 1t will call to us,
we shall hear its voice. It will beckon
to US, we shall follow; follow where
it leads into far country at best
but little known. We shall grow
very still, our eyes, our hands, our
feet, will not stir nor move: we
shall be changed,-into what? Pray
God that we may be able to -exclaim;
. Grave where is thy victory? o
Death where is thy sting?
