MINISTERIAL CRISIS IMPENDING.
PARIS, March /.
ministerial crisis is believed to be impend-
ing. In addition to the conflict between the E1-
ecutive and the Legislature on the Catholic
petitions and the question of adjournment, 4
difference has arisen between President Theirs
and the committee Of the Assembly on the bill
proposed by Minister LefrAnc granting the gov
ernment additional powers for the control Of the
press.
The committee insists on an amendment giving
journals the right to discuss the constitution,
which the President is not willing to concede.

Card from Horace Greeiey-He Re-.
sumes the EditOrship Of the Tribune.

The New York Tribune of the eth inst
prints the following:
A CARD.
The undersigned resumes the editorship of
the Tribune, which he relinquished on en-
barking in another line of business six months
ago. Henceforth it shall be his endeavor to
make this a thoroughly Independent journal,
treating all parties and political movements
with judicial fairness and candor, but court
ing the favor and deprecating the wrath of
no one. If he can hereafter say anything
that will tend to heartily unite the whole;
American people on the broad platform of
universal amnesty and impartial suffrage, he
will gladly do so. For the present, however,
ne can best commend that contamination by
silence and forbearance. The victory in our
late struggle can hardly fail to take the
whole subject of Southern rights and wrongs
into early and earnest consideration, and to.
them for the present he RENTS. Since he Will
never again to be candidate for any ofIice,
and is not in full accord with either of the
great parties which have hitherto divided the
| country, he will be able and will endeavsr to
| give a wider and steadier regard to the pro-
| gress of science, industry and the useful arts
| than partisan journal can do, and he Will not
be provoked to indulgence in those bitter per-
| sonalities which are the recognized bane OF
| journalism. Sustained by generous public,
| he Will do his best to make the Tribune
| power in the broader field it now contem-
| plates. as when human freedom was in peril,
! it was in the arena of political partisanship.

its limbs, if not remarkable for agility
are very powerful; but l was not pre-

was brought to me, having no box I'M
mediately at hand, was at a loss where
to put it till could kill it; but quart
bottle full of milk being on the table, L
placed the beetle. for,the present, under
that. the hollow in the bottom allowing
him room to stand upright. Presently
to my surprise, the bottle began to move
SLOWLY and glide along the smooth table,

nerambuiate the surface, to the aston

weight of the bottle and Its contents
could not have been less than three and
q half pounds, while that OF the beetle
