MACMAHON.

Significant dissertations are delivered
upon the present situation of Marshal Mac
Mahon. Instead Of being President of
the Republic, the first citizen in the State,
the Assembly, it is suggested, treats and
views him as its functionary. The ques-
ton is raised, would he consider himself
bound o obey the orders of a feeble ma O.
rity in the Assembly, aware, at the same
time, that majority does not represent the
nation now as it did in 1871 when it was
elected In a word has he a LEGAL dlscre-
ton, a legal Judgment Of his own, to fol
low. All his life it is said has been dev0t-
ed to loyalty executing superior orders
which never met with his approval. In
1870 he opposed Napoleou's German
campaign, but was Over-ruled, and fought
calamity all the same at Worth he pro-
posed the march of his Chalons army to
Paris instead of Metz by Sedan, but was
over.ruIeI; be was superseded by Bazaine
also. 1t is the memory OF these circum-
stances that has secured for MaCMah0n a
place apart in the late calamities of his
country, which makes him the object OF
respectful indulgence every where, con-
serves him popularity, and, in q sense,
prestige. Hence is it his fate to continue
to the end of his career to act from devo-
ton and a~bnogation contrary to his scru-
ples or his wisdom would he, if the cri-
sis comes, dissolve the Assembly, call to-
gether a new one, and accept the Presi-
dentship of a legally and formally declar-
ed republic I

1t is to be hoped we shall have served
our apprenticeship to the cholera before
the 9th prox. to enable us to give an I'M
interrupted attention to Bazaine for the
present we are in search of a new excite
ment; the pilgrimages do not draw, and
if they have not made many converts they
certainly have not smoothened political
difficulties The entire movement reflect
ed too much the combative programme Of
the government it was too ostentatious
in addition. " A daw is not considered a

hand the piIgrima9es have not driven men

BABIES.

The doctors, having been relieved of all
Anxiety about the cholera carrying Oft
some OF their best rheumatic and equity
sources of income, have turned their at
tention to the Perambulator question"
Ought babies to be trundled in perambu-
lators or carried in the arms of their moth
ers or nurses Z The p~9rambulator
is asserted to develop weakness and
apathy, depriving the infant of the
natural warmth of the nurse, which
no bottles of warm water or hot bricks can
supply, and the feeding bottle is too often
left to the infant to imbibe it's contents at
once and thus produce Indigestion. The
poetic port of the question is, that mother
with her infant in her arms, looks like a
rose tree with a rose &c, sc. In Paris
a Young mother may thus be occasionally
encountered, with her first born but never
with her second olive branch, which is too
often replaced by a pet poodle, while baby
is sent to the country. On the other a
it is asserted that the joltings OF the peram-
buIator will DO no harm if care be taken
to- avoid such, and that infants suffering
from ricketts,, become more "rickety'' if
carried in the arms. A naval doctor laid
down, that the natural way to carry a
baby was to strap it on the mothers
shoulder, or across the small of the back
like so-called savage mothers. The gen
eral conclusion was, that in winter the
vehicle should be only spairingly used.
REPAIRING DAMAGES.
Nearly all the private houses in Paris
more or less destroyed by the Communists
have been either repaired or rebuilt, and
even with greater luxury. There are
armies of workmen everywhere. The
Hotel de Vile is being pushed forward

BAZAINE.
Every Newspaper announces it had
made arrangements, regardless of expense,
to publish the Bazaine trial. One of the
first publishers in this city has received
172 proposals to bring out a journal, with
new features,'' solely devoted to the
process. At last
" TbeJChargo is prepaid the lawyers are, met,
The Judges all rang'd-'
But it is not " a terrible show" 1t is
expected that only five days per week will
be devoted to the trial Sundays for re-
pose and Thursdays for recreation, like
the schools. Then but four or five hours
daily will represent a sitting. Three
months are set down for the hearing of
the case. The prosecution has cited 272
persons comprising 1919 MjIitaireS, 143
civilians, and 8 women. Two performers
of a s|troIling circus are among the witness
ses. The examination of Jules Favre,
and, above all Gambetta, will be the SEN
s%atjonal episodes of the trial.
RoCHEFoRT AND TIE COMMUNISTS.
We are not yet finished with RochefOrt,
the last scene in his e|rentful history closes
where so many more do-in the public
auction mart. By a curious coincidence
one of the best bits of his early writing
was a series of sketches of the public
sales rooms. He was a constant visitor
to this great centre of Paris, for he dealt
in o5jets dart, as well as in lampoons.
The sale in question was by the Trustees
of his children, and comprised some Ordi-
nary penates, which did not realize a total
of 1000 fcs. the authorities, however,
did not allow the owners name to be ad-
vertised, hence the absence of sensation.
One enthusiast, however, bought in the
antique bed and its curtains, and intends
to preserve them at a gift for the exile on
his return. The government has already
been repaid it's expenses for prosecuting
Rochefort. In the event of France being
a Kingdom by Christmas, no great amnes-
ty may be expected for the Communists,
save the Communication of sentences to
death. If the Republican the Empire
win, a full pardon is certain.

INSURANCE..
ALMOST INCREDIBLE.

1t almost passes belief that single life insurance
company should be able, after only thirteen years
Of effort, to make such q business report as that
Just published by the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety Starting in 1859, without other capital than
the 500 900 required by law, and wedgpg ITSELF as
it were, into the very heart OF q business-even
then supposed to be overdone by the few conserva-
tves who titled the neld-the Equitable has made
for itself an enviable position in the confidence of
the public. Instead OF the $10O, 900 it had at the
beginning, it now has almost twenty mlli0ns Of
dollars OF substantial, wellin vested, interest-earn
ing assets; and from the modest business 1t began
with, its volume Of transactions has now become
enormous.
That a life insurance company. only thirteen
years old, report having issued r. 40l poceis,
insuring nearly ffty-two million dollars In one
year, almost. staggers credulity. For, 1t must be
remembered, this sum Of $50, 900 900 is not emily
large amount OF itself, but also that 1t is nearly
twice as much as the average amount at risk In
oil the life insurance companies in the country
young and Old. That Is. the Equtaules business
last year alone was equal to nearly twice the
average aggregate business OF ell American CON-
panies during their entire existence. But to
make this comparison more striking We need only
reproduce n few figures nom the offScial returns
for 1871 ofvcertain other life companies older than
the Equts ble the names being omitted for obvious
reasonS:--

FIGHT BETWEEN A CUBAN AND A SPANIARD
IN BROADWAY.

Last evening, as Mr.. Alberto Fernandez, Cuban,
employed at the library Of Mr.. Ponce de Leon, in
this city, was passing down Broadway in the neigh
borhood OF Bowling Green. he espied few feet
ahead Of him the editor Of the Spanish paper in this
city, Mr.. F. de Couto Fernandez had long contem-
plated the prospect OF castigating the Spaniard on
account OF an assault made upon him by the said
gentleman with pair OF scissors in his editorial
sanctum, on the occas ion of his delivering to him
letter written by General Jordan, calling Mr.. De
Couto everything but truthful man.
Fernandez thinking the occasion favorable,
fastened his step and commenced the attack
upon the Spaniard, after giving him timely warn
ing. Several blows had been given and received
when Mr. De Couto called out Justify for help and
police, and. seeing that they did not arrive, he drew
his revolver and was about giving the quetus to
his Cuban assailant when an American gentleman,
seeing that murder was imminent. pinioned Mr.. De
Couto's arms, while an enterprsing young thief OF
bootblack seized the pistol and ran OF with 1t.
Fernandez to prevent arrest, retired, and Mr.. De
Couto proceeded to the office OF the Spanish Con-
