Hon. E. B. Washburne who has
just arrived at New York, from Paris,
was yesterday presented with an ad-
dress by the representatives. of two
German societies, expressive of their
gratitude for the kindness shown Ger
mans in Paris during the siege. MlD-
lister WashbuEne made many sacrifices
of his own personal comfort and gave
cheerfully of his own stores to the
starving Germans who focked to the
American Legation for. aid and pro-
lection during those days of trial and
terror. During. the last terrible days
of the siege no less than thir ty thou
sand Germans were fed and protected
by the representative of this govern
ment, of which Mr.. Washburne was
the head. In nothing else has the
power Of this government ever been
better examplifed than in the respect
paid it's flag at this time-when the
Commune was rioting in deeds which
even at this day are scarcely comprez
hended in their, horrible details. When

terror and horrors of, that period, a

Washburne, in reply to the represen=

The Ear-Marks of Wit.

There is nothing else in the world
which bears the marks of its nativity
so unmistakably as wit and humor do.
The speeches of Burke might have
been delivered by Webster; the poe
try of Wordsworth and Southey might
have been written by Americans;
there is nothing about the German
philosophy which is SO essentially
German that it might not have been
English; and there are some Of the
French dramatists who could almost
have initiated even Shakespeare him
self. But it is not SO with wit and
humor. Given a jest, and it needs
but little discernment to tell whence
it came. Sheridail's much quoted re-
mark concerning Dundas, that he
"resorts to his memory for his wit and
to his Imagination for his facts" could
not possibly have been made by any
but an Englishman, or even by an
Englishman Of any other than Sheri-
dams time.
Douglas Jerrold's witticism, at is
better to be witty and wise than witty
and otherwise" was not only very
English, but very Jerroldy, and few
people wonld need to be told who said
| it.
And so it is with the humor of other
peoples. Who would hesitate for a
moment to credit Ireland with the man
who vaunting the glories of the past,
wanted to know "where you will find
a modern building which has lasted
as long as the ancient ones Z" Equally
evident isSir Richard Steele's nativity,
from his celebrated effort to extend
hospitality to friend, to whom he
said, eff you should ever come within
a mile Of my house, l hope you will
stop there" And there can be no
question that it was an Irish editor
who announced that a prominent gen
tleman Of the country had died sud-
denly after lingering Illness"
Perhaps the most strongly marked
humor, however, is that Of our own
country. It is Of a broad guage sort
"a kind of high pressure affair-too
much like us to belong to anybody
else. Thackeray's joke about the size
Of our oysters was purely English, oi

The Shreveport Telegram, Demo-
cratic newspaper, In commenting on
mattersin New Orleans, says: The af-
fair has assumed such a grave legal
bearing that we are unable to pro-
nounce upon it, preferring to await
further developments. It is evident,
however, that the party in opposition
to Warmoth are determined that he
shall proceed in this matter in legal
manner, and as they will likely be sus-
tained in their action by the powers Of
the general government, he hasa heavy
struggle ahead of him. He is bold
enough, we admit, to carry the most
ultra designs into execution, and in
his desperation would drag the whole
State after him; but we have faith in
the cool judgment Of the people in
this emergency. IF Warmoth is right,
we presume he will succeed; if in err
ror, the power he has invoked against
him is too strong for even one of his
metal to victoriously encounter. Our
trust is that Louisiana may not be in
iured in this contest for supremacy BY
the rival factions. Other considerations
to us are of inferior importance. We
expect the courts Of the land to pro-
nounce correctly upon the legal status
of the questions in dispute; to refer
them to test of physical strength
would be reprehensible and suicidal
