Sensation in the Assembly.

LONDON, June 8.-The Standards Paris
correspondent says: The manifest of the
left centre, calling tor the declaration of q
republic or the dissolution of the Assembly,
causes the greatest sensation since the over
throw of Theirs. 1t is generally thought its
effect will hasten the day of dissolution
and improve the prospect Of the establish
ment of regular government. The con-
servatiyes are dismayed.
An Earl Drunk as q Lord.
1t seems that the Earl of Marlborough,
previously reported missing, is addicted to
drink; that on Tuesday last the deputy SER
geant- alarms of the House of Lords, be-
lieving him to be in worse condition than
usual, coaxed him into a private room and
left him there. Upon the return OF the
officer half hour later the earl was gone,
and has not since been seen.

Republican Caucus.
A Republican caucus of both houses was
announced to be held at eight o'clock this
evening.
Adams ON Transportation.
Charles Francis Adams, in letter to
Senator Window, expresses, in the light of
his experience as Erie railroad cOmmis-
sioner, dissatisfaction with both the
MoCrary bill to regulate the transportation
by rail as going q great deal too far and
with Mr.. Windom's suggestion of simple
measure for investigation, which don't go
far enough.
Mr.. Adams does not believe it possible
for any nine men, no matter how honest
aud experienced, to properly revise the run
ming railroad tariffs as used in the United
States, and, even if they could, that they
would be unable to reach the root of the
present difficulty.
The difficulty is the natural outgrowth of
the whole system and theory of railroad
construction, and it can not be eradicated
without upsetting the system, that of pri-
vate ownership, regulated by competition.
Another Disti,iery Raid.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue

Perry announcing the capture and destruc-
ton of five illicit distilleries in North GeOr-

Proceedings in Caucus.
A caucus of the Republican Senators and
Representatives was held in the hall of the
House of Representatives tonight, Senator
Chandler in the chair and Representatives
Parsons, of Ohio, and Lynch, of Missis'
sippi, acting as secretaries. A proposition
was offered that a congressional committee
be appointed in view of the coming elec.
tions. This was opposed by Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, who thought the appoint
ment of such committee unnecessary, as
every man should go before the people in
his own way.
eSenator Chandler explained the political
situation, and gave reasons why the eOm-
mlGt60 snOulO % appOlnteu. say ing Inau
similar committee had rendered efficient
service in the past.
Mr.. Lynch. Of Mississippi, while advising
the appointment Of the committee, spoke Of

heretofore, would support the Republicans.

Late last evening Judge Woods gave his
charge to the jury in the Grant parish
trial, after District Attorney Beckwith
had spoken nearly four hours. The pro-
ceedings yesterday morning were opened
by Mr.. E. j. Ellis, for defense. As the lat
ter closed his remarks, several indiscreet
persons go tar forgot their dignity, and the
dignity of the court, as to make something
like undue applause. Judge Woods, very
naturally, was offended, ana noticing one
of the disturbers, had him arraigned, dis
charging him after short lecture on pro-
priety.
There was little probability of the jury
agreeing late last night.

The merchants and members of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, at meeting held this
afternoon, adopted resolutions making q
special committee on revenue reforms to
urge upon the Senate the imperative me-
cessity for the relief of our merchants, and
praying them to pass the bill now before
them.
Copies of the resolutions were ordered to
be sent to each member of Congress. jack

bill which had been passed by the House.
The bill then went to the Finance Com
mittee which concluded to pass it with
slight amendment, but action was delayed.
Merchants along the seaboard, he thought.

SpurgeOn on Smoking.

Mr.. Spurgeon has addressed a letter
10 the papers on account. of it having
been stated that on q recent Sunday,
evening, when q minister in his chapel
had condemned smoking, he rose after
the sermon, and expressed his dissent
from the preacher, a ding that it was
possible to 60 'smoke to the glory of God, "
and that he hoped TO enjoy a cigar that
evening before he went TO bed. Mr..
Spurgeon saws "I demur altogether,
and most positively, to the statement
that to smoke tobacco is in itself sin.
IL may become so, as any other indiffer-
ent action may, but as an action 1t is no
sin. Together with hundreds and thou
sands o. my fellOw-christians, l have
smoked, and with them I am under the
condemnation of living in habituai sin,
if certain accuseTs are to be believed.
As would not knowingly live even in
the smallest violation Of the law of God,
and sin IN the transgressiOn of the law,
will not own to sin when l am not
conscious of it. There is growing up
in society a pharisaie system which adds
to the cOmT lands of God the precepts
of men to that system will not yield
for an hour. The preservat on of my
liberty mHy bring upon me the mp
braidings of many of the good and the
sneers of the self-righteous but shall
endure both with sincerity so long as l
feel clear in my conscience before God.
The expression smoking to the glory
of God standing alone has an i'll SOUND,
and do not justify it but In the sense
IN which employed it will stand to
it. No christian should do anything in
which he cannot glorify God-and this
may be done, according tOseripture, in
eating and drinking and the common
actions of life. When l have found IN
tense pain relieved, a weary brain
soothed, and calm, refreshing sleep OBJ
tanned by a cigar, I have felt grateful TO
God and have blessed his name this is
what meant, and by no means did
use sacred words trihingly. If through
smoking I had lost an hour of my time
if I had stinted my gifts to the poor
If had rendered my mind less Wig
orous-I trust I should see my fault
and turn from it but he who charges
me with these things shall have no an
swer but my forgiveness. am told
that my open avowal will lessen my in
fluence, and my reply is that if / have
gained any Influence through being
thought different from what I am, I
have no wish to retain 1t. I will do
nothing u"on the sly, and nothing
about which I have q doubt"

GrasshOpper Surgery.

and now, as though acting on the scrip
tural assertion that 50 all flesh is grass.
has taken to regaling himself on his
brother hopper. 1t is shocking to dis
cover what reInorseless cannibals these
small creatures are. If one becomes
disabled in the slightest degree, his
friends and relatives rally around him
IN his extremity, and generally help
themselves to whatever is eatable. They

morsel, cunningly abstraeting it from
its cells; and yet he somehow lives on
for time, and hardly seems to miss
that rather important organ. The
younger ones seem the most voracious
and rapaciOus, but, while they make
fatal charge, stout, grave-loOking elders
viii stand about, watching their old
friends demise, evidently specializing
as to how he will "cut up." They are
in no haste, but are always in at the
death. The other day I whiled away a.

lost a leg-how I need not state.

if for the sake of scientific investipa-
tion brought myself to perform that
little surgical operation, what harm (?
1t is surprising to see how easily a
grasshOpper's leg is detached. 1t seems
ALWAYS to be a sort of semi-detached
member. The creature don't seem to
mind the loss much, and will go on eat

on every bush. This one evidently
did not realize his misfortune till he was
attacked, and found he could neither
walk nor fly. How he was beset, to be
sure First, II brisk young fellow, with
the cool, business air of a surgeon, be-
gan tapping his rather distended stom-
aeh another probed him about the
joint whence the leg had been removed !;
third set himself to dissect the ampu-
tated limb. One slim starveling began
browsing on the delicate tips of his
long wings then a big bustling old
wretch stepped forward and interviewed
him, by deliberately boring into his
brain next a yellow Jacket settled on
him and stung and sucked here and
there, while, to add insult to injury,
two spiteful black ants pierced through
the Joints of his cuirass and worked
their way into his vitals. He fought
bravely-it was astonishing to see how
pluckiIy he stood up against his fierce
assailants, like a miniature MoultoD.
He kicked furiousIy with his one sound
hind leg "against the pricks'' of the
wasp. He struck out and gesticulated
wildly with his arms or fore-legs-his
mustache or antenne bristled with de-
fiance-but the great congregation of
his foes was too much for him, though
he did not cease to struggle while any
thing remained to struggle with. They
did not leave him till he was reduced
to the mere shell of q grasshopper.
