IMMORTALITY OF PAR1s.-At American la


IMMORTALITY OF PARIs.-At American la
dy writes from Paris to the Home Journal:
An atmosphere of evil hovers over all things
in Paris, and under its influence there spring
to light horrors from which modesty and in
nocence can neither veil their faces nor avert
their eyes. Let the careful mother, if she
will, confine her daily walks to such elegant
and frequented places of resort as the Boule-
wards, the Rue de la Paix, the Rue de Rivoli
or the Palais Royal, yet she will not escape
from the vileness which surrounds her like
sea. Acts of the grossest indecency, perpe-
trated by the well dressed strollers on the as
phalte, or by the elegantly dressed children
that frequent the gardens of the Tuileries
and the Palais Royal, will assail her gaze.
Let her strive to take refuge from such sights
by turning to the windows of fashionable
print shop, and her eyes will rest upon pict-
ures of indescrbable indelicacy, daintily en-
graved and colored pictorial double entrendres,
and many where the entrendre is not double
at all, but where the purport Of the pictured
scene is perfectly unquestionabe.
She flies for escape to the photographers,
next door, and portraits of shameless women,
in attire befitting their characters are the
leading attractions of the window. The i'm
age shop across the way looks innocent
enough, and she turns to that, only to be-
hold the immodesty of print and photograph
surpassed in the marvelously executed little
groups of clay figures which stand side by
side with statuettes of the Virgin and our
Savior. She enters book store and pur-
chases some of the works of the leading novel
writers of France, and she sees upon the title
p2ge the names of such large and well known
publishing houses as Hachette or Michel
Levy; but on opening the pages she finds
herself seeking for amusement and instrue-
ton by perusing minute descriptions of scenes
of atrocious vice, if, indeed the story does
not turn upon the pefpetration of some crime
too horrible for her even to have imagined its
! existence.
She goes to the theatre, and from her box
at the Gymnase or the Comedie Franchise
she beholds unfolded before her scenes of un-
bridled and unpunished profligacy, from
| which is to be learned the moral lesson that
to be virtuous is to be stupid and uninterest-
| ing, and that to be vicious is to be brilliant,
| charming and successful in society. She
| takes up newspaper-the Figaro tor in
| stance-and the anecdotes which crowd its
columns will bring Scorching bushes to her
already burning cheeks. The trail OF the
| serpent is over everything. The vice which
| ir other large cities is like an ulcerous sore
on an otherwise healthy body is here like a
| scrofulous taint pervading the entire system.

BENITo JUAREZ.-Benito Juarez, Presi-
dent of the Mexican Republic, died few
days ago, of apoplexy, at the age of sixty-two.
The Nation makes the following estimate of
his character: He may safely be said to have
been the greatest full-blood Indian statesman
whom the continent has produced since the
time of its discovery by the Europeans. And
history may possibly rank him among the fore
most statesmen of his age and continent, Of
whatever race-such as Boliver, Paez and
Lincoln. With the latter, Juarez shared the
year of birth, and like him he was poor in his
carry life, selt-relant, selftaught, free from
bigotry and intolerance, firm and shrewd.
Like him, he first rose in his State (Oajaca),
then in the Republic, until he reached the
highest dignity; and like him, he died
suddenly, at a moment when a pro-
tracted revolutionary struggle against his
rule was about to expire. What the higher
distinctive features of his character and long
presidential career have been; whether, in his
struggles with Miramon, (1S58-1S60,) against
the French invasion and Macmillan, (1S61-
1851 and finally with the supporters of Por-
firio Diaz (1S6S-1S72)-which involved more
than one usurpation, the execution Of the
imperial pretender, and numerous acts of un-
mftigated rgor-he was always or chiefly led
by purely patriotic motives, or more or less
also by selfish, despotie, and cruel incinations,
it is probably too early to decide. His death
is apparently great blow to Mexico, which
will hardly find in another man his energy,
ability, and power of command--and Mexico
needs strong hand, whether pure or not.
Momentarily, however, it may contribute to
the publication of the country. The old ran
cors will be soothed, Portirio Daz and his fell
low-refugees may return, and general am
nesty may bring about another cessation of
civil hostilities-for time.

A Trenchant Criticism.

The Chicago Times cuts up Gree.
ley's Portland speech sharply. In re-
gard to what he said about Office, the
Times remarks:
The Cabling doctor proceeds to
advertise what he intends to 10 i'm the
office-flling way when he gets to be
President. "I have never vet heard
of the man who invited his neighbors
to raise q house and then proceed to
kick them out of 1t o. sonn as the roof
was fairly over his head" saws "our
future President" Which means. If
it means anything, that the virtuous
doctor offers the Offices as bids for
votes from all manner of men. If, in
stead of employing the above figurs.
tive style Of speech, tour future Pres.
ident" had said "Gentlemen, give
me your votes and l will give YOU A
share of the plumber, without asking
who or what you are" he could not
have made q more plain and palpable
offer to trade the peoples ofices for
votes to help him get possession of
them.
What do our civil service reformers
think Of this tender ofofices for votes,
made by "our future President" in
his stump speech at Portland? Does
It not present an encouraging out
look Of civil service reform under "a
n term President 2"
There is . good deal more of the
worst possible demagogism in this
Portland speech, which the people
will not be sloWto discover.

nounce him guilty Of the most serious
accusations brought against him: He
does not deny-in fact he candidly

ments has already proved, that for .
consideration Of $4,000 in bonds he
undertook and agreed as an attorney,
by legal process "Or otherwise" TO
procure the County Court Of Buchan-
an County to issue 100000 of bonds
"prcmaturely," " the Judge says,
certainly in violation of the subscrip-
ton, and, a. We understand 1t, in vio-
lation of the Judges Official oath.
II 10 worthy o note, that while the
Judge boasts Of the possession OF GER
tain documents, which he says are
"open to inspection" he fails to copy
them in his address. Now, these doc
uments are the very things the pub
lie desire to sec. One that has been
