FRANCE.-ThOugh war ha'
practically ended, troubles are NO
all at an end. The difficulty now
is, who shall rule and of what kind
shall the government be. The
fighting has ceased as have also the
executions. Business begins to
again spring up in streets that fol-
Il long time have been as it were de.
serted by all the acts of peace and
turned Tito bariicades. Large
numbers of Frenclmen and foreign.
ers arc returning to Paris to resume
Their commercial and manufacturing
operations.
French journals are greatly di-
vided in sentiment as to the future
of the country. Several favor the
continuance of the Republic OF
which Theirs is virtually the head
and controlling principle some are
very guarded in their expressions,
while one, the Figaro, advocates a
monarchy.
Prince Napoleon has written let
ter to Favre censuring those who
proclaimed the dccheancc of the
emperor, and formed the govern
ment Of the 4th of September last,
and demanding of the existing au.
thorities plebiscite for the determ-
ination of the future of Paris.
So the end is by no means yet
reached, an end which every lover
of freedom and equal rights can but
hope will be a government as near
republican in form, as lenient, as
free and generous to it's subjects as
the present condition of the people
and society will admit that France
may take her place among the most
elevated and enlightened nations of
the earth.

The MEANEST MAN ON RECORD.
The meanest man on record will
probably withdraw his claim to that
distinction after reading the follow.
ing story, the trathlulness of which
is vouched for to us by gentleman
whose veracity is above suspicion.
A wealthy physician, residing in a
remote section of Hillsborough coun-
ty, recently had occasion to make
professional visit to his mother,
an old lady of nearly four score and
ten, and for said visit he charged
her the usual fee, to pay which she
was obliged to set up at night and
knit socks. A short time since the
venerable mother died at the resi-.
dence of another son, man Of mod
crate means, where she had found
home and tender care for upwards
of fifteen years, and by him was
buried beside her husband in the
old church yard III the town where
her wealthy son resides. Among
the bills of the funeral expenses pre-.
scented to the poor man was that OF
the brother and son, the physician,
which read as follows: CDR. to horse
hire for conveyance of myself and
wife to grave, $500" The worst of
it is. the horse was his own. We
understand, further, that the doctor
often boasts of his generosity, and
proclaims himself the only decent
man of his family.-[Telegraph.
Some rascal entered the barn of
John Cain, editor of the Rutland
Courier, on Saturday night, and
shaved the name and tail of his
horses, and turned his cattle, sheep
and swine into his field of growing
crops. The top Of covered buggy
was also cut and torn, and one of
the horses was taken and tied to n
pine tree on pine hill. Patrick Sui,
Ivan, who has formerly been in the
employ of Mr.. Cain, and for some
fancicd injury has threatened re
venge, has been arrested, charged
with the crime. On his pants was
horse hair, which adhered as he rode
the horse off, and several long horse
hairs were found in a large knife
found in his pocket.

Hab;tual constipation leads to the
following results: inflammation of
the kidneys, sick and nervous head
ache, billousness, dyspepsia, indi-

The following address from the
New York Globe to the press of
that city, is equally applicable to
every portion of the country.
Speaking of the recent brutal muir
der of respected gentleman by a
drunken bully, it says that "almost
without exception, the city papers
are disposed to ignore the cause of
the Putnam murder. In one chorus
they tell us the conductor was
to blame the driver was a rogue !;
that rOwdy ism is on increase that
the people are to blame, etc. Gen
tlemen of the press of New York,
Ium is the cause of ninetenths of
all the crime committed in this city.
Foster was drunk when he murder
ed Putnam. If he had been sober,
he never would have done the deed.
Rum is the archfiend which killed
Putnam. Until we abolish rum, we
shall never prevent murder. 1t is
Il waste of time to scold about con-
ductors, and read them lessons on
their duty. The system which al
lows such men as Foster to get
drunk is at fault. If we would see
sober people on the car; if we
would put animalism under, and
elevate the good, the gentemanly,
the intellectual, we must educate all
our people, must close up those sa.
looms which deal out the stuff which
fires mems brains, and causes them
to commit awful deeds. Until we
do this we shall have ''ruflianism
on the rails and such outrages as
the murder of Mr.. Putnam.
