Jorbearing toward their wives; they do
not make the most Of them-that effort is
limited 10 the rare examples which were
alluded 10 just now-but their habit is
TO treat them with much sofiness, with
constant consideration, with Difference
aud courtesy. They generally come to-
gether, in the origin, without much pas.
sion, or, indeed, much love; the condi-
tons under which their marriages are
arranged make that fact easily compre-
hensble; but love does not grow up be-
tween them in nearly every case, and
they end by feeling for each other an
attachment quite as real, as thorough
and as deep, as we find in countries
where other systems are in use. II is
far from easy to discover really unhappy
marriages in France; here and there are
isolated instances, evident TO every one,
for they have terminated in voluntary
separations hut the testimony Of society,
and particularly Of the women, who are
not more charitable toward each other
in France than they are in other lands,
in no way indicates any multiplicity Of
failures. The impossibility Of divorce
creates a strong motive for mutual con-
cessions. with the object Of soothing
away asperities, and OF rendering oblig-
atory companionship supportable, If
not agreeable. AS for absolute iniidel-
ity on either side, it is now so rare that
It's often possible to look round large
circle Of intimate aequaintances with
out being able TO point out one example
of it. This assertion may seem absurd
and false to the large group of English
people, which, though in total ignorance
of the facts, grows up, lives and dies
in the contrary conviction-but the asser-
ton is strictly, literally true. The
marriage tie is vigorously felt in France;
husbands and wives cleave there TO each
other, and do not now seek tor Illicit joys,
whatever some OF them may have done
in days gone by. Indeed, they point to
England at this moment as the country
which produces palpably the largest
amount of conjugal irregularity, and
quote in proof, with bitter justice, the
shameless details of the Divorce Court
which are given in our newspapers. We
have grown accustomed to this odious
publicity; habit blinds us to its dangers
and its indecency; but if we could hear
foreigners talk about it-if we knew the
impression of disgust which it creates in
France, where the rare cases of corre-
spondency are treated criminally and
are always pleaded with closed doors,
where husbands do not receive money
damages for their wives dishonor-we
should perhaps be led to recognize that,
in this question, we do not offer salts
tying spectacle to Europe, and that we
have lost all right to throw stones at
others, We are unable to judge our
selves on such subject; we must sub
mitto the verdict of lookers.on, and a
very painful one it is for us to support.

interest in our national institutions and
progress common TO American citizens.
National prosperity and civilization are
words that fall still born on his indiffer-
ent ear. That part Of Louisiana inhab-
tied by his own people alone awakens his
interest. Patriotism for the United
States, as a rule, is a dead language

bors. To employ figure after the fash
ion OF the Creole, rough manner is
like raspy, crude wine, which passes
the palate under protest and CRATES the
throat; a polished manner is like fine
wine, which is welcomed, chapeau bas,
by the sentinel Of the stomach, and slips
down the larynx as smoothly as a velvet
ribbon, comforting happiness in its pas
sage and leaving behind II lingering
taste OF fragrance. The Creole woman
is prettier than the French woman.
There is climatic influence in America
which roiines features and gives delieacy
to the complexion. This is especially
the case in Louisiana, where finely
formed women are often found to be de-
scendants Of ignoble looking ancestors
The light olive tint Of the woman seems
to have been painted over a ground color
OF blushing lake, aud this pinkish cream
mess OF the skin saves it from dullness
and sallowness. In a word, there is
something OF that transparency for
which painters are always seeking. She
inherits from her mother over the sea
the physical characteristics of round
limbs and delicate extremities, with
figure something slighter-another ef
feet of climate-also that sense Of art
with which people are born, but can never
entirely acquire. From the same source
come her coquetry and her grace OF
speech and action, but modified. She
does not wear crude colors or awry
shapes; nor does she express herself
with unseemly gesture or discordant
tones. Her dress is rather somber than
gay, and her carriage simple and CON
ventional-for they all walk alike.
Smoothness and graceful propriety are
hers. In word, there is an absence of
angles in her general conduct -" Louis

A Sayant's Death,

The Pail Mall Gazette summarize
from the Paris Figaro a melancholy &C
count of the death Of the savant Phila

his niece, Nine. Schultz, and his gran,
niece heard him moaning and went t.
his room. They found he had been at
tackled by Asiatc cholera, and immedi

sight said that there was nothing to b'
done. They ordered some iced cham
pagne, and went away. Once it wa
shown that NJ. Chasles had been attacked
by cholera, an attempt was mede tC

mans chamber, where she was endeavor
ing to warm his hands and feet. She
resisted this order in the most ener

an honest-looking gendarme arrived
and took up his post at the door. AL
communication with the rest Of tht
world was cut off, and Nine Schultz
could not even obtain permission to EN-
brace her daughter who was sobbing out
side the door. She was prisoner, anC
neither tears ner entreaties could move
the gendarme, who did not appear tC
enjoy his post. His disconsolate air, il
fact, touched even the dying man, who
exclaimed, "If Figaro we're aware o.

After violent seizure, poor NJ. Chasles

THE ASSESSMENT LAW.

From the Cr0cket county SenClnels
The late assessment law, that at first
aroused the indignation Of good many of
our people, since it is beginning TO be I'm.
derstood, is growing in favor with item. II
is not as frigntful thing as they at first
thought, and when the forms are simplifed
so that sll can understand them, we are
satisfied they will come to the conclusion
that it is very nearly the thing they want.
There are, doubtless, defects in the law,
but it is human to err and our legislators
are nothing more than humans and are
liable to make errors.
We do not see that the rate or grade OF
taxation is increased, for we still have our
one thousand dollars of personal property
exempt-the main difference being, this
law goes so far as to cause US to make out
a schedule Of cur property and swear 10 it,
thus getting at everything taxable.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
make rough guess at what we possessed
and swear to the heap. This new law, to o
certain extent, relieves the farmer and i'm
poses a heavier tax On the capitalists that
is, it comes nearer taxing all bis possessions
that Justly deserve TO be taxed thsn any
other law we have yet had.
But we did not start out to defend the
entire law, for we could not if we would, as
it has obnoxious features that should be re-
peslediby the next Legislature, or so amend
ed as to make them more acceptable. 1t
was our intention only to suggest that per-
haps more grumbling is INDUCED in than is
necessary; that when the law is fully under
stood it will, perhaps, appear to better ad-
vantage than it now does, and that while it
is in force we should make the best of it
and not grumole so much.

THE COnFAx BOND ROBBERY

Touching the mystery Of the robbery of
Mr.. Colfax q short time before the expira-
ton of his term, the Washington cores
pondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial has
this to say, under date of June "a:
ga thoroughly reliable gentleman Of this
city, who processes TO be acquainted with
all The details Of the Colfax bond robbery
of last winter, asserted publicly to-day that
he had complete description of all the
securities, the numbers of the bonds, their
nominal value, etc., taken from the late
Vice Presidents trunk, and that they
amounted TO nearly one hundred thousand
dollars. He further states that the securi-
ties had been recovered, and all but ten
thousand dollars of them were returned
to Colfax. He would not say whetb-
er The latter SUN had been returned
by the thieves, or whether that amount WAS
charged by the police for recovering the
stolen property. Que of the Police Com
missioners was formerly retainer of Col
fax, and even be admits that the amount
in the trunk was nearer one hundred thou
sand dollars than fifty thousand" d.
1t will be remembered that at the time of
the robbery it was given out that it amount
ed to only $4,000. 1t is now suspected
that this was done 10 keep up the impress
sion which then prevailed, that be was a
poor man. Now it com out that he is
not so poor as be desired to appear. Per-
haps he desired to keep up this impression
to avoid Inquiry into the manner of his get
ting the large amount Of bonds of which
be was robbed.
