The Bo1s DE BoULoGNE.-The bois de Bou-
logne, which lies about mile from Paris, be-
yond the Barriere de fEtoile, is portion of
the ancient forest of Rouvray.
In the 18th century Same Pious merchants
made pilgrimage to Boulagne-sur-Mer, to
visit shrine of the Blessed Virgin, and on
their return determined to build chapel on q
site possessed by ono of them in the forest of
Rouvray, similar to the one they had visited.
The royal permission for its erection was
speedily granted by the king g. Lonis of
France
When the chapel was built, the immense
concourse of pilgrims made it necessary to
provide accommodation for them in its vicinity.
Thus a little village arose in course of time,
and received the name of Boulogne. Charles
V. few years afterwards had sumner resi-
dences bnilt for himself and his court at q
short distance from Autoiium, the side
nearest to Paris. This group of houses form
cd the nucleus of the village of Passy. Grad
ually these villages increased in size to the di-
Iuinution of the forest, which was at length
reduced to the proportions of wood, with
the name of the Bots de Boulogne. Napoleon
Bonaparte was the fret monarch who made
plautati in the Bots ee Boulogne.
The green of Pines frs, cedars, Expresses,
tjunipers was arranged to contrast agreea6ly
IN winter with the brown solemuity of oaks.

Those who admire the writings of Mr..
George D.. Prentice, will be pleased to read
the following extract again: cit cannot
be that our life is bubble cast up by the
ocean of eternity to float a moment npon
it's waves and sink into nothingness. Else
why is it that the high and glorious aspira
tions which leap like angels from the tenn
pie of our hearts, are forever unsatisfed 7
Why is it that the rainbow and clonds
come over US with a beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass off to leave us to muse
on their loyelinessP Why is it that the
stars which bold their festival around the
midnight thrones are set above thegrasp
of our limited faculties, forever mocking
us with their unapproachable glory 7 And
finally, why is it that bright forms of hui
man beauty are presented to our view and
taken from US, leaving the Thousand
streams of our affection to flow, back like
Alpine torrents upon the hearth We are
born to a higher destiny than ofearth. There
is realm where the rainbow never fades,
where the stars will spread out before US
like the islands that slumber on the ocean,
and where the beautiful beings which pass
before US like shadows, will stay in our
presence forever"

1t is seldom that reward offered for scien-
tfc research is followed by more important
and valuable results than those attending the
strife after the Breant prize. During the
cholera epidemic of 1s49 a pr:ze of one han
dred Thousand francs was offered by NJ. Breant
for specific remedy for that dreadful scourge,
the precise terms of the offer being I" the dis
covery of the means of curing Asiatic cholera,
or the indication of the precise causes of that
dreadful disease" Although one has yet
solved the problem to the satisfaction of the
committee, yet the inducement thus offered
and still open, has been sufficient to elicit
every year most interesting and useful study,
and the results of these Investigations are con-
stant1y appearing in the form of valuable
works on this subject. The authors of these
have. from year to year, been awarded by the
French Academy, though as yet one has
been found worthy of the principal prize.
When the consideration of one of these late
essays was before the Academy, one of the
members, NJ. Bouillaud, expressed the sent-
ments of that body regarding the award as
follows: "There remains for our civilization
the difficult but glorious task of tracking the
monster to its cradle, rather to its lair. We
are still awaiting the advent of the Hercules
on whom will devolve the glory of so noble, so
meritorious, so dirine a work, but it is to be
feared that in our day no snch demigod is
likely to appear"

A PLEA FOR THE LEFT HASD,-Wby is this
excellent member of the human body treated
with an injustice bestowed on no otherf The
strictest impartiality prevails in regard to all
the organs of The senses, and to the neither
limbs: why is that hand. which in Latin is
lied sinister" in French "gauche," and in
German " links" in English called left, as if it
were almost useless7 Habit and prejudice are
the cause of this nature made no such dis
tinction. Children commonly use either hand
ndifferently, and have to be taught that the
right is the one of which they are chiefly to
avail themselves. Savages use either hand,
aud we read that of the tribe of Benjamin
there were q certain occasion seven hum
dred men who could with their left hands
"siing stones at q hairs breadth and not miss"
Now, though there can he question but
there are some thiags which are better done
with the right hand, as, for example, writing,
which runs from the left toward the right, and
there is apparent awkwsrdness in ofTering
your left hand to friend, or holding spoon
in it, yet there seems to be no good reason why
q boy should not drive his hoop and flourish
his whip, or a girl do her sewing or learn to
draw with either hand indifferently. One OF
our first water-coor painters is what is called
| left-handed, and one of onr great musicians
now deceased, wrote q capital hand after the
! same fashion.

CARRYING Our THE JoKE.-Whiie we were
lying in camp at Rossville, Georgia, writes q
correspondent, the Sixtieth Illinois returned
from their fnrlough with q number of recruits.
One of these, having exhausted his supply of
clean shirts, and not having learned to be his
own laundress, asked q veteran where no could
get some washing done. "Do you SEQ those
tents there by the church, Well, go there.
and ask for Mr.. Morgan; he does washing.
He's crusty old cuss, but if you talk pretty
nice to him, he'll do it for you" The recruit
went as directed, and found General Morgan
walking in front of his tent, dressed, as was
his custom, in the uniform of high private.
Where will 1 find Mr.. Morgan ." asked the
recrnit. my name is Morgan What will
some clothes washed" "H-m-m! Who sent
you here to get your clothes washed :" "John
Smith, over here in the Sixth" Corporal of
the gnard" (The Corporal approached and
saluted.) "Young man, go with the Corparal
and show him john Smith, 80 that he can
bring him over here. And you come back with
him and bring all the dirty clothes you have"
They departed, and soon returned with the
guilty veteran and huge armful of dirty
shirts aud socks, etc. The General to Smith:
" Did you send this young man here to have
his clothes washede" "Yes, sir, for u Joke"
" For joke! Well, we'll have the joke carried
ont. We do have clothes washed hero some
times. Corporal, take this man, Smith, and
that bundle of clothes down to the creek, and
have him wash them, fold them up neatly, and
return them to tho owner! See that he does
the job up handsomelyw The veteran went
away to his work sorrowfully, and the General
resumed his walk.-Ercham9c.

DE PROFUNDlS.

From the depths Of our sadness and sorrow,
We cry, day and night, to our God
To seud us the dawn Of Q morrow,
That will light up our emerald sod
With rays bright as ever shone round her,
Iluming nights darkness and gloom,
Ere slavery's cold hand hath bound her
With myrtle and rue from the tomb.
Lord, we were thine, through dark ages
OF wrong, like that nation Of old
Thy people, on Htstorys pages
Deep written in letters of gold
In bondage they raised up their voices--
In bondage use raise them to-day;
For our land though sore stricken, rSoices
In Him who was always our stsy.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

More members Of the General Assembly,
which coDvenes tomorrow, had arrived last
nigh. than usual at a corresponding time
heretofore. A very favorable indication is
the earnest desire universally manifested to
60 promptly at the work of legislation.
The principal subjects which wild occupy
the attention Of cur Legislators are the rev.
e2ue laws, State credit, immigration and
common schools. The first will be thor
oughly reviewed, and in many instances re.
vised and doubtless Improved. The second
will be advanced. The third will be en-
c1uraged. The fourth cherished.
Our General Assembly has a fine field
before it for the encouragement Of our ma
terial interests and for the promotion Of the
prosperity and happiness Of the people of
the State. We viii not doubt that the
members will take advantage of the occa-
sion presented to greatly benefit their con-
stituents and thereby establish for them
selves an enduring position in the esteem
Of those they, represent.

some Hope for Arkansas.

SVCgi ! to the Louisville COurieT-JOurnal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Tbe Attorney
General gives siguiEcln- indications that he
would be glad 10 get rid Of the Troublesome
questions growing out Of The efforts Of the
carpat-bsggeTs to prolOIg their pillage of tie
Southern States. The steps taken in the
Louisiana case it would not be easy to re-
trace. even if the President were not deter
mined to use the military power of the Gov
ernnent 20 effect the el5c,iOn Of his broth
er-in-aw, Casey, to the United States
Senate. In the case of Arkansas
little has been done so far, except TO Sta
ton troops At the State capital, with or
deTs % prevent a collision between the two
conten5ing parties. The Attorney Gen
eral, 10 -eply to questions on the subject,
stated today that although the two Sena-
tors, Messrs. Rice and Clayton, had
been to see him, and each present.
ed his side Of the case, there had been no
formal intervention Of the Government
and no case presented which required
lis action. He intim&ted that he was in
no hurry to deal with the subject,
aud would delay action until absolutely
necessary. No sympathy with, or commit
menl fO., either party was expressed by him.
1t is understood that on Monday next the
Clayton party will make an attempt to
swear in their Governor, and by armed
force to pack the legislative halls Of Little
Rock with partisans who were defeated by
large maj0rities 2t the late election. As the
Liberals carried Arkansas by decided ma
jorities, both for Governor and Legislature,
they viii not submit to be excluded from
the S.ate-house, and they viii insist that
the persons duly elected by the people shall
be Installed in their offices. There will
probably be contest for
the possession of the SLate-house,
and ia any event two Governors and two
Legislatures, each claiming the right to exact
obedience and to collect taxes, and each ap-
pealinZ 20 the Federal Government for aid.
The most intense interest is felt on the sub
iect By Arkansas politicians, and prepara-
tio1s have been made by each side to Sc
cure tue mastery; but it is undoubtedly the
policy Of the Administration ID affect igno-
rance of passing events, and to move with
some degree Of caution in this case. The
President, not having brother-in-law run-
ming for the United States Senate, may
exhibit some respect for the known wishes
OF the people Of Arkansas.

How the Great Sculptor VIndlcated

How the Great Sculptor VIndicated
American Good Breeding.
A lady tells how she saw Powers vindicate
American good breeding under trying cir
cumstances:
While Mr.. Powers was conversing with
me about theVenus of Milo, there tered
two Englishwomen, dressed very richly in
brocades and velvets. They seemed very
anxious to see every thing in the studio,
talked IN loud tones of the various objects
OF art, passed US, and occupied themselves
for some time before statue called Call
fornla. heard one Of them say: 81 won
der If there's anybody ere that talks Hin
gllsh?" and in the same breath she called
QUITO Mr.. Powers: "Come 'erel'' He was
at work that day, and wore his studio cos.
tune. L was somewhat surprised to see
him Immediately obey the rude command,
and the following conversation occurred:
"Do you speak HiDglish ?'
"ies, ma'am."
"What is this statue?"
sit is called California, madam"
"Wh2t has she got in 'er' and?''
"fhorns; madam, in the hand held be-
hind the back, in the other she presents
the quartz containing the tempting metal"
"OhIn
We next entered a room where there was
another work of the sculptor in process of
formation. Mr.. Powers and myself we're en-
gagged in an animated and, TO me, yery
agreeable conversation, which was constan-
ly interrupted by these ill-bred women,
who kept sll the time mistsking the plaster
for the marble, and asked the most poster
ing questions on the nlOdus OperGn6 of
sc1lp5uring. l was sstonished at the mar
vellous temper Of Mr.. Powers, who polite.
~ and patiently answered all their queries
By some lucky chance these woman got
out OF the way during oar slow progress
back to the outer rooms, and enjoyed
Mr.. Powers Conversation uninterruptedly.
He showed me the beautiful baby hand in
marble, copy Ofthe daughters hand when
an infant, and had just returned tito its
shrinejwhen the two women reappeared, and |
we all proceeded together. In the outerroom

HE BUFFALO SLAUGHTER.

The hunters are making sad havoc
among the bUffaloas in Western Kansas.
not far from the line Of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railroad. They are
found in great numbers near a fax
Of the Pawnee river, and are
SHOT down by hundreds every day.
Dodge City is the last station On this
road. 1t is about three miles from
Fort Dodge; it was settled about the last
OfSeptember, and consists Of fifty houses
every one of which, With possibly two or
three exceptions, Is a store, a biIiard-sa-
loon, a arum-shop or dance-haH. The hunt
ers make this their headquarters. During
two months one firm received over
10000 buffalo hides, for which they paid
from S1.25 to $3.50 each. Another party
received in ten days, ending the middle Of
last month, over 5000 hides. Buff10 meat
is very cheap. The hams sell for one cent
20 two cents a pound, and are shipped
over The AtchisoD, Topeka and Santa Fe
road to Kansas City and to s.. Louis in
large quantities. The fOre-quarters can
not be given away, but are thrown out in
the streets. One merchant had 25,000 bUf-
falo tongues packed away in one room
waiting shipment TO market. NOtWith-
this wholesale slaughter the hun
ters tell of seeing herds miles in length
and almost as countless as the sands upon
the sea-shoTe.

GRANBY CaPPERs.

1t may not be generally known that the
first copper coinage in this country was
made at CRANKY, c., in 1877, by John
Higley, a blacksmith, Money was very
scarce, and the only copper coins in circa-
lation were British half pennies and far
things. Higley obtained the metal from
the old Newgate Copper Mine, and his
coins were worth three times IS much as
King Georges half pennies. The coin rep
resents deer, and is stamped with the in
scription, 81 am good copper, 1877"
Whether the crowniDg Of the hammers
was Johns way Of indicating his belief that
labor would eventually be king in America,
or chance design, is an open question. On
the other side broad ak is stamped in the
center, and the inscription is, II cut my
way through" There are not a dozen gen
uine Granny cnppers in existence. The
Newgate mines have been lying idle for g
long time, but parties have lately been in
specting them, and it is likely that their
wealth may be developed in the spring.
There are many evidences that the mines
contain an abundance Of this valuable
metal.
