II seems TO be generally conceded by those
who should know that the present aspect Of
affairs In France Is discouraging so far Us
The recent vote Of confidence In the Nc
Mahon Government Is accepted by the same
authority as IN indication Of desire to re-
turn to the empire. II seems that the French
people have but one object In view at this
juncture, and that Is the settlement Of the
German claims. II they had boon able to
accomplish this under NJ. Theirs they would
have been satisfied to have kept him in power.
In fact, so long as he succeeded, as he did at
fret, In arranging for the payment Of the
first installmsnts Of these claims, lie was SUI
prome; and II he had contcntcd himself with
that popularity he could have remained
President until the last sou is paid and the
last German bayonot goes across the Rhine.
But he Numbered and began tho Inaugural
ton OF measures looking to lasting
foundation Of republican principles, and
perhaps was fattered by the rro-
posal to make him permanent Prcsi-
dent. The natural and correct infer
encc from this brief statement Is that as soon
as the German debt Is paid another change
Of government will occur. What this means
in Paris, II not throughout France, past his
tory teaches us. Bloodshed, cruelty, inhu-
manity, the Commune, repetition Of the
untold horrors Of the barricades, the women
with their kerosene hrc-balls, and the reli-
gious as well as the anti-religious insanity
which have Illustrated these episodes In the
past will be repeated. Then will follow q
strong governmcnt-another empire. But II
requires keener foresight than Is granted &c
ordinary mortals to prophecy who will be
| the head of that government

Il seems that at one time some stripping OF 4
prince, with ample means, and who knew that
the thing had got to be dono up handsomely TO
produce an impression, decided to send an Easter
egg TO the damsel Of his love, who, In this case,
happened to be princess Of the royal house OF
saxony. So he called sIillful Jeweler TO his
aid, and the order was given. The result was an
Easter egg such as had never been seen before,
and has certainly never since been equaled,
which to-day Is preserved In the Green Vault
Prince and princess have passed away, but the
ingenious trinket remains TO tell how the sclons
OF royalty told their love In the days Of old.
To the ordinary observer 1t Is an egg and moth
ing more. But close examination reveals line
of separation which enclrces II, and further
search discloses spring. Touching this the
egg-shell, which proves to be gold, enameled 10
represent a shell, opens and reveals chick,
nedged, with every part counterfeted, but all
OF gold, enameled. Turning the little fellow
over, and touching concealed spring the body
opens, revealing another egg OF smaller dlmen-
slOns, This, also OF gold and also enaneled,
opens like the nrst; and now we come 70 the

Just now discussion Is going on regard
Ing tho poor old Anne riean nag," in which
many Of the Southern papers are taking
part. The Baltimore Gazette declares that
the Northern papers ''arc setting 1t up as a
kind OF Gesler's hat" before which the Will
liam Tells Of the South must bend their knees,
and arc watching 'tfor any sign sof revolt"
The revolts are frequent, and the Gazette
characterizes them rs Literary rebellion"
Among other shots fired In this contest Is the
following from the Macon Telegraph:
mo! The South does not reverence the nag
under which she once marched to victory anu
glory, because It's folds nOat over the usurpers
OF true liberty aRd the destroyers OF the Consti-
| tuition Of our fathers. Justice, reform and time
alone can change the animus Of her people frou
| the coolest Indifference, TO say no more, to the
| love OF days Of yore. OF course these remarks
are intended TO apply only TO the radical regime
base and selfish purposes. With the good men
| and true Of the North-the Conservative ele'
ment who stand In the breach and do battle
| yaliAntly for free government and the rights Of
their suffering brethren OF the same name and
lineage-we can strike hands aud affiliate most
heartily"
Another shot was from the Southern Mdgd-
zine, which takes the ground that although
the war settled the pending questions as far
as the further agitation Of them Is concerned,
yet the right Is still where 1t was, and the
wrong still remains the wrong, and will to
all eternity; and 1t therefore becomes the
Southern people to Justify themselves as to
all points in debate, freely and whenever &C.
casion arises.
The point OF all this Is that the war ha.
settled--nothing. But 1t shows that the
Northern Democracy still has hold upon
the affections of the Conservatives Of tho
South. In palmer words, these unrepontani
rebels are only willing to strike hands
with the cowardly sneaks who refused Il
fight under the ''poor old dag" during the
war. We do not believe, however, that these
utterances represent the true sentiments Of
the masses Of the Southern soldiery. Such
men as Longstreet, Beauregard, and even
General Lee himself, have given publicity to
nobler thoughts, and have, by example as
well as precept, taught their followers to re-
spect and revere the flag against which
they battled as only Americans could
battle. We arc more inclined to take the
gallant Rosser, Of Virginia, us q true type O
the cx-Confedoratc. He has sought servic,
and obtained promotion under the old flag
and does not feel disgraccd any more thai
while wearing "the blue, (which he did, b,

Thomas Velfo and wife, with u family Of
thing more than year ago, and, being poor,
they, after many hardships, erected small
dwelling and cleared few acres Of land. but
they were In the wilderness, ten miles from
neighbors. A few weeks ago tho father and
mother left their family, consisting Of girl
aged twelve years, one aged nine years, and
two other children aged respectively three
years and thirteen months, on trip to the
settlement to get COW and bring In so me
potatoes to plant After the parents had
been gone few hours the house took fire,
aud tho Oldest girl Immediately rushed to the
roof with water, but not being able to re-
move the shingles she could do nothing to
stay the flames, which gained rapidly, spread
ing on the inside of the roof, until, bursting
thu ough, they drove her from her work. Tho
heroic girl now turned her attention to saw
ing her brothers and sisters. Coming to the
door Of the building, she found that the child
next to her own age had got out of the house,
bringing tho baby with her, but the little
three-y car-old had crouched under shaving
horse In the further corner Of the room.
There being no chamber floor, the fire was
dropping from the burning roof between the
child and the door, and when asked to come
out 1t refused to do so, saying, 81 am safe
here; the fire don't drop here" Our little he
roine hositatcd only moment, but rushing
through the falling cmbcrs brought the little
one TO q safe place, both having their clothes
somewhat burnt. But now comes the hard
| est part Of the task before her. Scantily
clothed and with no food she took the babe
/ In her arms and with the other children
started upon the trail for the settlement.
| After going few miles she encountered a
| rapid stream, swollen by the spring rains, SO
that In fording II the water came up to her
arm-pits. Sha first carried the babe across,
and then the little three-year-old, aud lastly
half led and half carried her older sister
through the water to the other bank. Three
times during tho remainder OF the day she
struggled across the swollen streams In hei
way until night set In, the deep forest sur
rounding her. Cold, wet and hungry, she
sought place to camp, and by good fortune
found an old camp loft by the indians, upon
which about one half Of the roof still re.
mained. Under this she placed her little
flock, and then collected pine boughs and
made rude bed. Placing the little one In
the middle, the heroic girl stripped off heI
dress and spread 1t over the children, then
covered them with bOughs to keep them from
the chilly night air, and sat down beside
them TO watch through that long, cold night,
comforting the little one when II cried, ant
speaking words of cheer to the older one
The long, dreary hours Of night dragged
slowly by, and at first peep Of day she re
sumed her toilsome march, and had nearl,
reached the first settler when she met he

might have found an easier way out of tn,

Some Of the iron mines anciently worked by
the Egyptians have been recently discovered
anew by English explorers, and search Is to be
Instituted for other ancient mines Of silver, gold
and Iron. As the processes followed In ancient
times for the reduction Of ores were very defec-
tive, II Is expected that In the dsbrD accumu-
lated In the neighborhood Of the mines an
amount Of useful and precious metals will be
found sunicient TO make the working 1t over
again profitable. At recent meeting Of the
British Society Of Antlquaries mention was
made Of the discovery In the nelghborhood Of
Mount Sinai Of tho torquoise mines Of the an
