A New KIND OF NEwspAPERs.-Sey
of our Democratic exchanges have got a new
idea as to the duty Of newspapers. They
say don't commit yourself, lay low, keep
mum until the Baltimore Convention speaks,
and then you will know what to do. 1t is
the people and the press that makes the
Baltimore Convention, and directs its action.
We believe that convention should indorse
Greeley, and we are going to make every
body else believe it if we can. We would
proseyte every man in America TO our ideas
# we could by argument, truth and reason,
and that man who would not do this is unfit
to edit a paper. We spit upon the idea
that we shall not tell the people what is go
ing on, and what we believe they should DO
on any public question; that we should keep
mum and let office seeking tr:cksters fix
up ticket for us to support. That Is not
our doctrine, and we rebel against it, repud-
ate it, despisc it.

Writing on the pretty French Easter eggs and
their origin, and the costly tax they have be-
come to certain circles of Partisan society, the
Pail Mall Gazette says $50 long as no further
innovation was attempted than selling sugar
eggs in lien of genuine ones, it was well; for a
sugar ere even when colored pink and filled
with carraway comfitS is not much to be alarmed
at. But one day there appeared an artilicer of
woe who set himself TO blowing out all the yolk
and white from an egg, cutting the shell neatly
in two, lining the halves with white satin adapt
ing them to each other on the Screw-top system,
and then putting a gold or silver thimbe in
side This was the first 0uf a surprise. 1t
looked like the real thing, and could be set by
the donor in the donee'S egg-cup without fear
of detection, until at the critical moment when
the spoon was going to crash through the top
everybody round the table would cry out affec-
tionately, k"GareP and pleasantly mystify the
recipient. OF course this ingenious invention
cost from twenty to fifty francs and found nu-
merous imitators. Ducks, geese, and swans
eggs were pressed into service as capable of
containing not only thimble, but small scissors,
needle-case, ETC., and of being sold at from five
TO tea guineas Then somebody asked why one
should not put ear rings sleeve-links, or brooch
eS into eggs instead of thimbles and this led to
an enterprising ieweler drawing ahead of every
one else by fitting up oStrich'S eggs as work
boxes, scent-botte stands, or jewel cases. This
jeweller, who deserved well Of his kind, worked
III llC oduic SUI VI ltNolu-
ton as Victor Hugo and the "Romantiques"
wrought in the drama. Up to that time it had
been considered essential to keep up some SEM
blance of respect for probabilities, but from the
ostrich-egg day probabilities were discarded.
Eggs appeared measuring foot in diameter
big chocolate and sugar eggs filled with sweat
meats, or monster eggs tillad with toys; or,
again, huge mahogany eggs, with brass mount
ings and feet, to stand up on an end and act as
liqueur receptacles The people used the Easter
egg as medium for giving presents which they
would have had no good excuse for offering at
other times; and also for paying off arrears of
etrennes. An august parsonage very gracefully
sent one of his ministers the insignia and
patent of the grand cross of the legion of honor
in an Easter egg; and the late merry Due de
CaderOusSe-Gramont presented an actress with
the most stupendous egg on record; it was a
colossal wooden thing, painted white, and con-
tanning brougham. They conveyed it along
the bOulevards in cart to the delight of admir-
ing crowds, and it was the nine days wonder of
that Easter.
There must have been people who hoped that
the collapse of the empire would have entailed
that of the Easter egg; but they were mistaken.

The MYSTERIOUS Mrs. MASON, whose name
appearing in the testimony taken by the French
arms committee caused such tlutter of eager
curiosity, turns out not to be a very formidable
person. When one of the witnesses made men
tion of her, the journals seeking for capital
against the administration advised their readers
TO be on the watch for some entertaining scan
0al. Here we were 10 have the lurking iniquity
OF the whole business exposed at last. Well. we
have heard all that anybody including the lady
herself, has TO tell about Mrs. Mason and her
doings, and it is not a very interesting story
even with all the irrelevant matter which Wash
ington gossip hunters could collect. Mrs Ma
son, it appears, is young widow whose hus
band was member of the well known Virgin
ian family Of that name. She is bright, intelli-
gent, fascinating and willing, like some adven-
tnrers OF the other sex, 10 turn her talents to
account IN almost any service where assurance
and address may hope to be handsomely reward
ed. Report says that she was a rebel spy dur
ing the war, one of those women who wheedled
government secrets out of their too susceptible
deposltaries, or having them freely bestowed by
some OF the traitors then too numerous in
the departments, used their Establishments to
overcome the vigilance of those whose duty it
was to prevent the transmission Of contraband
intelligence
More recently she is said 10 have worked dill
gently, but With what success. does not appear,
for the Cuban lobby. She seems to be an adept
in those arts by which Washington "strikers"
convince the seeker after favors from the gov
ernment, that they have an influence with con-
gressmen or officials that is worth paying for.
The sale of arms appeared to promise favor
able opportunity for the exercise Of her talent,
and she FASTENED 10 improve it. Two ways oc-
cured to her by which money might be made:
first, to get the refusal Of certain quantity OF
arms and sell them at an advance TO an agent of
the French government; and second, to persuade
some of the dealers in arms, who were then buy
ing all they could, that she had influence with
General Dyer, which would'enable her to buy
cheaper than Others and make it worth their
while TO employ her as their broker. These
plans were well conceived and promising
enough, but they failed lamentaby General
Over knew of no reason why lady might not
buy arms, if she had the money TO pay for them
but he insisted, no doubt it was painful dnty.
that she must deposit the same margin re-
quired Of other dealers and declined to give her
the refusal of them without this pledge of good
faith, nor would he for all her destinations
make the least reduction in the price already
fixed, With the dealers she had no better sue
cess. They were willing to 90 to New York
with her, and use her influence, if she had any;
but they would not pay her for it in advance
nor entrust her with the money TO make pur-
chases for them. So her hopes of profit were
defeated, and for all her trouble in this business
she has only the satisfaction of having thorough
" advertised her calling.
