n To r,1d "a
more. For years 1t has been supposed that
the great world OF fashion buried itself at this
season In seclusiop, and spent its time arrayed
In sackcloth Of the most approved pattern,
and with the latest style of ashes on its head.

parting from the rule, throws open the doors

haunted walls.
"A service In honor of the soldiers killed
during the war took place In the Cathedral Of
Notre Dame, Paris, on the 10th of January,
The aspect of the cathedral, hung with black
draperlea, was very Impressive. The Emperor
of Brazil, the Duke de Nemours and the Count
and Countess of Paris we're present The army
was represented by Marshal Mcmahon, Gene
raj L'Admirault and their respective staff,
and the government by II. Jules Simon, Gene
raj de Cissey and Admiral Pothusn. The abso.
luton was given by the new Archbishop OF
Paris, after which Pere Felix preached the
funeral sermon. He took as his text" How
are the mighty fallen," and endeavored to
show that the primary cause OF the disasters
of France was the spirit Of irreverence and In
subordination which every one of the success
siyereyolutons of the country had developed.
His se, mon is said to have had great effect
upess the congregation.
Mr.. Samuel Bowles, the keen editor of
the Springfield tMsss.) Republican, who is at
Washington on q political prospecting visit,
with the lau1able object Of stiffeniDg the Re-
publican back, has written letter expressive
of his sensations and opinions from Wash
jngton standpoint After medltatng for a
paragraph or two upon the utter selfshness OF
Republican patriotism, like Marius among the
ruins of Carthage. Mr.. Bowles settles down to
consideration of the all-absorblng Presden-
tIsl question. He finds very few OF the Re-
publican congressman willing to open their
mouths on the subject, 80 fearful are they OF
the issue of the campaign, and 30 anxious
to preserve their bread and butter. But he
thinks, with itaic certainty, that "lt the
Republican members OF Congress were,
to-day, obliged to sign one of two
papers, declaring their belief that the inter-
ests of the country and The party required the
denomination of General Grant, or the re-
verse, such renomlpatlon would be no longer
possible" In regard 10 the Cincinnati con-
ventlon, Mr.. Bowles judges, from what he can
see and hear, that 1t will be purely Repubii-
can movement and will make no coalition
with the Democratic party; that all Is at pres
ent in confusion; that "there are a good many
things In the air." and that the continued ac-
duiescence OF the ReI ubllcan party In the re.
nomination of Grant threatens q direful revo.
lution. All of which Is respectfully submitted
for the contemplation of more loyal citizens
and journals.
