MAJoRTr1Es in the French Assem-
bly, are getting down to very fine
point. On Saturday during the dis
cussion of the government bill pro-
viding for the appointment of may
ors by the government, the Left pro-
posed an amendment requiring may
ors to be chosen from municipal
councils. 1t was lost by five votes,
and the same amendment afterwards
offered by the Left Center was again
reieeted by majority of fourteen.
It woaI6 seem there is likelihood of
the measure passing. Then will
come the greater contest over the bill
for the control Of the press and re-
stricting the right of suffrage. 1t
will then be about time for an explo-
sion in France.

Saturday Morning, Jan, "a, 1874.
The President has signed the bill


for the repeal of the Salary Grab
law Just as it passed Congress.
DR.. Patton, late of the End Pres
bvterian church, Chicago, takes the
chair of Christian Apologetics in the
agoSeminary.
The annual letting of pews in
Henry Ward Beecher's church took
place on Tuesday the 9Th inst,
bringing in s5s,4sO or about 1929
more than the previous year.
Bishop R. S. Foster, of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, for long
time a pastor in New York city,
and then President of Drew Theo-
logical Seminary, was welcomed to
his new sphere of labor in Cincin-
natl by public meeting in Wesley
chapel, on the End inst.
The women made a grand burst
upon the United States Senate Wed
nesday. Petitions in favor of We
man suffrage were presented by a
number of States East and West,
severi Senators contributing to the
bile of documents. Senator Sher-
man was the medium of the COM
munication of the women of Ohio.
Considerable loss was sustained
in freight and passenger coaches,
by the destruction of the Chicago
depot on Tuesday last. The build
was of wood-a temporary affair,
put up since the fire. The loss is
estimated at between four and five
hundred thousand dollars.
The franking privilege was called
up and knocked down again on the
21st in the House of Representa-
tives. A motion to suspend the
rules and pass a bill giving mem
bers of Congress the privilege of
sen ding official printed matter
through the mails free until July,
1874, was defeated by a vote of 1873
co II.
It has been long thought that the
cosl-measurers of France ran far
under the English Channel. Traces
of them are now said to have been
found in Sussex. The report has
revived the idea of an Anglo-French
tunnel. If a coal seam can be fol
lowed, the tunnel would pay, not
only when it was finished, but while
it was being bored.

The President having refused to in
terfefe in his behalf, he has yielded
his seat to Gov. Coke. That officer
will at once nominate his Attorney
General, and when the latter has
been confirmed the votes for the
other State officers and the consti-
tional amendments will be canvassed
by the new Administration.
Gov. Davis, of Texas, has twice
asked President Grant to help him
usurp the GubernatoriaI seat and has
been snubbed. To his last appeal the
President has applied through At
torney-General Williams that he has
already held the Office longer than
the law allows, and that his right
to stay still longer is at least so
doubtful that no Federal troops will
be put at his disposal as he re-
quests.
The Committee of Ways and
Means propose that the limit of the
greenback currency be fixed at $780,
100000. They decline to express
any opinion as to the legality of the
reissue of the $44, 900, 900 of reserves.
They leave that abstract question to
the House, but the practical effect
of the first proposition viii be to
prevent the return to the Treasury
OF the s27,OOO,O of these reserves
that have been reissued.

There is trouble aboGsi the Iowa
Agricultural aud Mechanical Collge.
People there are getting Aeir eyes
open to the monstrous fraud perpe-
trated In the name of practical sgri-
culturists, by the establishment Of a
mere local college of the ordinary
style of teaching, under the name Of
an Agricultural College. The first
graduating class numbered twenty
six; s it turned out just one farmer
and he SO by accident, having re-
ceived an education for an engineer,
but preferring agriculture. The last
class, numbering fifteen, has one far
mer in prospect. The college is in
every respect local institution, and
of no more benefit to the practical
agriculturists of Iowa than any other
college in the State.

separated from his wife two months.
Now all the hotels keep a watch in
the halls to see that no improper
characters get into the rooms, and
the watch in this hall was an ex-
ceedingly conscientious Irishman.
Seeing the man enter lady's room,
he went to the Office.
"Who is in 2I3?"
"AIiss Agnes Norton" answered
the clerk in charge.
''Whew," whistled the watchman,
''be the mother NV Moses, there's
man in thot room"
''Is there2" queried the clerk,
who did not know the parties; ''we
will see about that"
And up they went. Rat-tat.
"What do you want?" from a
masculine voice within.
I'VE want you
Tho door opened and gentleman
in dishabiIle half-appeared in the
doorway.
"Wkat are you doing in this
room?" demanded the clerk. 81 as
signed 3l2 to you"
"Doing in this room? Why, 1
propose to occupy it with my
wife"
"Wife! Too thin," replied the
clerk. ave want none of this here.
Dress yourself and get out. And
tell the-lady to get on her duds
and get out, too. And be very quick
about it,
"But man." said the embarrassed
actor, that lady within IS my wife,
and am ker husband"
ss0h, bother" said the clerk. 81
know all about it. l haven't time
to waste on you, Miss Agnes Nor
ton," John Smith, it won't work.
Get out. You ought to be ashamed
of yourself"
By this time the lady got an idea
of the situation, and set up a scream,
the husband relapsed into profan-
ity, while dressing himself, and the
watchman went off to answer a call
somewhere else. The husband got
his clothes on and reasoned with the
clerk. He told him his wife was
an actress, that they were both
known to the proprietor. By the
way-where was the proprietor?
"Gone to his house in Harlem?'
Well the upshot of it was that
the clerk was staggered though not
convinced. He finally consented
that they should stay till morning
when he would investigate further,
and he went below.
A few minutes after, the watch
man passed the room, supposing, of
course, that the man had been eject
ed. The unfortunate actor had dis
covered that a valise had not been
sent up, and he was making his
way to the Office to get it. The
watchman saw him.
aye are prowling about to get
into that room agin, are ye? Come
with me, my foine feller. I know
yer room. If 1 did roight would
kick ye inter the shtreet, but Pll fix
We. Come with, me ye dirty spal-
peen."
And he collaled him and dragged |
him to Sl2, and thrust him in, lock- |
ing the door.
CPL have no more bother wild you |
tonight" he remarked, as he walk
ed away. "And out ye go in the
mornin."
The next morning, of course, ex-
plantations were made, apologies
were rendered, and a pleasant din
ner compensated for the annoyan-
ces of the night. But the lady pro-
tests that from that time henceforth,
while her name will appear on the
bills as "Miss Agnes Norton" on
hotel registers it shall appear as
Mrs. John Smith" and that the Mrs.
will be written as boldly as posi-

The tomb of Petrarch, who died
late in the l4th centuary and was
buried at Arqua, in the northern
part of Italy, was opened on the 7th
of September in the presence Of the
municipal officers of the town and a
few invited spectators. The skele-
ton, which was but slightly decayed,
was carefully examined by students
of anthropolOgy, and indicates that
the poet was a large man. The
skull was entire, but crumbled soon
after 1t was exposed to the air, while
some of the bones were completely
resolved into dust.

The Columbus correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer probably
hits the nail on the head when he
says of the attempt to repeal the
Adair law.
The question will be one of policy
simply, not principle. There are
many people who would like to see
the Adair Law repealed. There are
probably still more who would like
to see it modified, but any attempt
to do either would be very apt to
cost the men who were leaders in
the movement, their places when
they come to ask a reelection.
besides there is a Constitutional
Convention now in session in Gin
cinnati that will have to deal with
the liquor traffic fundamently, and
as they are only elected once in
twenty years it is better that they
should be allowed to wrestle with it
alone, as the angel did with Jacob.
