only persons who were members of Con-
gress, officers of the army and navy who
aided the rebellion, and members of State
conventions who voted for and signed
ordinances of secession"

EUREKA.
An Unrcported Conversation.

During the Grand Duke Alexis's
walks through the Bridgeport cartridge
factory the other day, he pointed to sew
eral working men and inquired of Gov
ernor Jewel, "Are these men what you
call the common people?" The Governor
replied that they were fair specimen of
the working classes in this country
But do you mean to say that these get
into official position :" further asked the
imperial scion. perhaps not any of
these men," rejoined Governor Jewel;
"but men of their class do; they are
educated men, most of them-that is,
they can all probably read and write,
and most of them take and read the
newspapers" DO You know of any
casses where such men have actually
been elected to Office 2" again querried
the curious Alexis. 20. certainly the
Governor said {: II myself worked in
the shop as tanner till l was twenty
years of age; and the announcement
seemed to puzzle the Duke good deal
Here was the Governor of State, as
well dressed and as well in appearing aa
himself, who had actually worked in a.
shop. and this man was welcoming him
in behalf of 100000 voters it was
more of an enigma than the boy had
ciphered on previously; but as he goes
