GB- A young lady in our town one day
last week, went in a dry goods store and
thus unburdened herself "It is my de-
sire to obtain pair of circular elastic ap-
pendages, capable of being contracted or
expanded by means of oscillating, burnish-
ed steel appliances that sparkle like parti-
cles of gold leaf set with Cape May dia-
monds, and which are utilized for retaining
in proper position the habiliments of the
lower extremities, which innate delicacy
forbids me to mention" The vender of
calicoes was nonplussed, but not wishing
to appear ignorant, said that he was "just
out" After her departure he ruminated
in silence for few moments, when new
light broke upon his distracted brain and
he burst forth with /: "By thunder I'll
bet that woman wanted pair of garters."

tanning the medicine, and going away de-
lighted, that she had come SO near the

RESPONDENTS telegram says: MacMahon in
his forthcoming message will probably state
that he would not accept the resignation OF
the Ministers because they defended bis pow
ers and he wished to save the country from
Il new ministerial crisis. He will request the
Assembly to hasten action on financial mea-
srres and then adjourn for some months,
and on rcaSsembling proceed to definitely
organize his powers"
PARIS, July 9.-The Republican Journals
Of this morning consider that yesterdays
proceedings OF the Assembly demonstrate
tic powerleSsness OF that body, and declare
that dissolution is the only remedy Tor the
unsettled political situation.
1t is p1obable that several resolutions Tor
the dissolution of the Assembly Will be IN
troduced at to-day's sitting.
Second Dispatch.l
PARIS, July 9.-In the Assembly to day
the message OF President MacMahon was
presented and read by General Cissey, as
follows:
when you, by the law Of November
Goth last, delivered the executive power into
nv hands for seven years You intended TO
afford to the public interests that security
which precarious institutions are poWerless
to give. That vote conferred upon me great
duties, for the fulfilment OF which l am ac-
coun,able to France, and from which can
in no case be permitted to WitbdraW. IL
also accorded rights which shall never ex.
ercise except for the good OF the country.
Your confidence rendered my.poWers IRE
vocable for the fixed term IN forestalling the
votes on the constitutional bills. In accord
ing them you yourselves enchalned your
sovereignty. / shall employ the means with
which / am armed by The laws 10 defena
nv power. This course l am convinced Is
in accordance with the expectations
and will of the Assembly,. when.
when it placed me at the head OF
the Government, intended to create
strong, stable, and respected power.
Rut the law Of November must be
completed. TIE Assembly cannot medl-
tate tearing up its engagements. Let it per-
NIT me to pressingly remind it of the claims
for the fulfiIment OF that engagement. The
country demands organization OF the public
mowers, and the questions which were re- re,
served must be settled. Further delays will
depress trade and hamper the prosperity OF
the country. hope the Assembly will not
fail to periodically fulfil its obligations.
adjure it, in the name of the highest ipte..
rests of the country, to deliberate without
delay upon questions which must no longer
remain in suspense. The Assembly and the
G government are jointly responsible. l am
DESTROYS of accomplishing all my duties"
