The letter from Paris which we print this
morning gives in few words the position oil
the Government Of France In relation to the
Assembly and the country. The MacMahon
Cabinet could properly be designated as a
conspiracy against the Republic. If its hostility
were not SO open and sincere. Both the Mar
shall President and the Duke-Premier have
frankly Informed the majority IN the Assem-
blv that they propose to rule France III ac-
cordance with their wishes, and without any
regard to the minority which represents vast
preponderance of the voters of the country. The
Republicans who, whenever they have chance
at the polls, elect their candidates by over
whelming majorities, are merely regarded by
MacMahOn and BrOghe as dangerous aud
insolent enemies, whose only object in life Is
to throw vitriol upon religion and order, and
who merit nothing less than determination
NJ. Thiers and NJ. de R6musat are no better IN
the eyes of the Government than Pyat and
Rigault. 1t will require the utmost patience
and fortitude for the Republic to succeed
AGAINST this malignant hostility in its guar
dams. IL it does succeed it will deserve per-
petuny.

The death of Prof. Louis Agassiz, elsewhere
announced, although not unexpected, will
come to thousands of people in both hemi-
spheres with pang Of personal bereavement
His name is identified with modern science
His fame is Of the world. America claims the
largest share in his scientific activities, and
will honor his memory.

The Vienna Exposition having afforded ex-
ceptional facilities for observing the progress
of the iron industry, Prof. William L. Blake
prepared q report on the subject for The
TRIBUNE, the first part of which was pub
;ished Nov. 1.-THE remainder we give to-day.
Prof. Blake finds scant evidence OF progress
in China, Japan, or British India, although
the mineral resources of those countries are
great. In Russia and Middle Europe the iron
industry is prosperous and progressive, beng
unsurpassed in the excellence and diversity of
It's products. England and France maintain
their position among irOn-producing nations
The new inventions described in this report
merit the attention of all American iron
masters. Sellers puddler, Buttgenbach's fur
mace, Siemen's direct process for producing
refined iron and steel, and the novel appica-
tons of iron to railroad building, are all full
of interest to iron-producers, who are gradu-
ally abandoning old and wasteful methods.
A dispatch boat has sailed from Key West
with picked crew from the Worcester ana
the Pawnee, to receive the Virginius from the
Spaniards, at Bahia Honda. The Survivors OIL
her passengers and crew are to arrive there
to-day in a Spanish man of war. A profound
disgust seems to have settled upon the V0lun-
teers at Havana as they saw the prize, IN whose
honor so much Valdepenas had been drunk
and so manv cigarritos burned, sailing out OF
the barbor to be restored to the Yankees.
Their spirits were certainly not raised
by a rnmOr current there yesterday,
, that the Cubans had captured Bayamo and
Guimaro, and the favOrite volunteer regiment
of Valmaseda Chasseurs. This may be only
one of the many rumors OF the hour, but IL
it is confirmed the CreOlcs will have made q
great step forward in the direction OF that
recognition which they so much desire, and
which the great majority of Americans wish
to see them earn.
New-York tribune., 1873-12-15

The laboring men Of the country seem to find it
hard to resist the temptation to put forth ncendary
resolutions and demands. Our own unemployed
workmen gave taste few days since of their
unreasoning method Of meeting such crisis as the
present. and on Saturday = meeting of Cincinnati
lsboring men reiterated the recent Cooper Union
resolutions with the teIse and peremptory amend
ment: Give us work or remission of three
months rent" We believe. however, that very few
will be found to seriously mediate any forcible
throwing off of the burdens which in such times as
these press heavily the capitalist as well as the
workman.

able to those responsible. The Star aud

the fact that while sixty Of the seamen

A MULE STORY.

There was formerly quaint old ply
stefan in New Hampshire who was largely
interested in breeding mules. One of
the animals was SO uncommonly per-
verse and obstinate that he determined
to ride the animal until he killed him.
He rode him nearly ninety miles in one
day-rode him, in fact, as long as he
could sit up. The exhausted pair at
length pulled up at ways.de tavern, the
doctor utterly worn out, while the mule
was led away, as the owner fondly hoped,
to die. At dawn the doctor was aroused
by frightful commotion in the stable
yard. Crawling on his hands and knees
to the window as well as his stiffened
limbs would permit, he said that the
first thing that greeted his eyes was
"that cussed mule kicking up at the
hostlcr's head"

THE HUMAN EYE.

Many tender and beautiful things have
been said Of the eyes; yet how inferior
to the sweet things uttered by them
selves A full eye seems to have been
esteemed the most expressive. Such
was the eye that unclaimed the
soul Of Pericles. The American
writer. Halliburton, declares that he
would not give piece Of tobacco for the
nose, except to tell when a dinner is
good; nor farthing for the mouth.
except as kennel for the tongue but
the eye-ssudy that. and you will read
any mans heart as plain rs book. If
there is any feature in which genius al
ways shows itself, it is the eye, which
