If he wanted to get up n delegation OF
humble worshipcrs of royalty he would
select Americans. lIcgot this compli-
mcntary opinion from resident Amer
leans In Paris, and we have continued
and kept up the character since then
by sending To Europe men made rich
through oil, war contracts, and, of late,
heavy stealings from the treasury Of
our afflicted government. 1t Is scken-
ing to sit in ears and steamers and hear
these people converse among them
selves. Ill-mannered and ignorant,
they have not the sense to conceal their
defects, and probably sordid and mean
as h,lcksters at home, they have here
but one resource to fall back upon, and
that is their money.

We sat at the window of the Imperial

English gentleman, II titled mob nj that,
give tire porter two pennies for the
effort made to get his valise on the
omnibus in which his lordship had
quietly seated himself, while an Amer
lean, who had ordered carriage to
carry his valuable person to the rail
way station, pulled out handful OF
silver and tossed shillings and hall
crowns to the same man. After the
carriage whirlcd away, the same
porter exhibited his gains to his fell
low-servants, and could our liberal
compatriot have heard their laugh OF
derision, his vulgar blood would have
been forced through his thick skin, and
astonished him with Il blush.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Springfield

A CORRESPONDENT of the Springfield
(Mass.) Union, who was one of the
editorial excursion which visited our
city about month ago, has the follow
ing paragraph on Dallas, under the
head of "Good-bye to Texas and o
Mellow Time" "Our stay in Dallas
was very short, but then one can see a
great deal in such a place in a very
short time, Being, as it is, a true rep
resentatiye of an old Texan town,
rejuyenated by recent introduction Of
railroads, its whole life is on the sur-
face, and to be seen at a glance. IT
claims eight thousand people and has
eighty-five drinking and gambling
saloons, six hotels and four churches.
In business point of view, it wears
lively and healthy aspect, and though
the buildings in which its mercantile
business are carried on, are not of the
most pretentions and stately, nor their
arrangements of the most orderly and
systematic kind, q large amount of
both wholesaleing and retailing is done,
and all in the true Texan style. Our
party were very Hospitality received
and entertained, and the far North and
the extreme South met together in the
most cordial manner possible. Good
wine flowed freely and speeches of
hearty welcome and good will were
made. A Federal and Confederate
General toasted and made kind
speeches one to the other, and the
"bloody chasm" was not only bridged
over, but filed up, ready for the next
generation to walk over On 'dry land"
Aud Lang Syne was sung as q finale
to the festivities oftheevening. hare
heard it sung better, think, but never
heartier, and the object for which il
was introduced was evidently capitaliy

SENATOR BLAINE is now probably
mourning over the uncertainty of hui
man hopes and expectations. Accord
ing to rtlmor he had arranged matters
50 Us to get President Grant down to
Augusta, in Maine. where he could
have quiet confidential chat with
him and arrange for the transfer 0l
Senator Morrill, to the office Of Chief
Justice, leaving nice chairin the SEN
ate vacant for Mr. Blaine's use rs a
stepping stone to the Presidency. The
valley of the Kenncbec is cool and
cheering retreat at this season of the
year, the Maine lnw is in force there,
and the cunning Speaker thought he
was going to have Grant, as the boys
say, just where he wanted him. But
news of the intended Presidential jaunt
has reached New England, and now it
It IL sQid that when General Grant
arrives in Boston he will be joined by
General Butler and other distinguished
statesmen, who will escort the Presi-
dent to Augusta, and stay with him all
the time he is there. Considering the
personal relations existing between
Blaine and Butler it is easy to imagine
the disgust which the former must
feel OH learning the unexpected shape
which the coming excursion seems
likely to take.-[Washipgton Capital.

OUR friend Baker, of the Houston
Mercury, in answering II series OF
charges advanced against him by the
Jefferson Tribune, has this TO say about
Capt. Thomas Dorwin, general passen-
ger agent Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad, than whom no more efficient
courteous and accommodating gentle
man can be found anywhere. We are
certain OF one thing, and that is, that
9'om Dorwiu never wilfully misrcpre'
sented anything connected with his
road, which is one of the best on the
continent, aud which has certainly
done more for the development o.
Northern Texas than any other rOaC
we haveup TO the present writing; ant
in this declaration we are not insensi
bic of the benefits of the Texas Contra
and of our new line to Shreveport, 81
rapidly constructed by its able superin
tendent, Major John II. Dickson. The
Missouri, Kansas and Texas road ha:
given us the first grand connection
With the great commercial centers o
the North and West, and has been in
strumental in pouring into our lap more
people and bigger trade than we eve
enjoyed before, and which we woult
not now enjoy were it not for its exist
nee. Here is what the Mercury say
a its defense regarding the squabbl'
with Capt. Dorwin, which we hope i
has ceased to cherish:
"7th. Did not q gentleman in Austin, a
She point Of n Derringer, make him retract ;
statement he had made concerning a ran
load transaction, apologize, and cat dirt gen
! eialiy?"
"Neyer. The present editor and pro
prietor, j. Fl. Baker, never had pist0
put at his head since the war. Ha
sever made n retraction in Texas; ha
never had one demanded Of him il
Austin in his life.
+" Never had any misWldcrsfdi'din!
with any railroad man or company
except that he justly criticised the ac
ton of one DOrwin, of the Missouri
Kansas aud Texas Railroad, for circI
lation of maps, laying claim 10 all tn
railroads IN Texas before that road hat
crossed Red river, or had an inch o
iron IN the State"
