A GOOD WORD FOR LOCAL PAPERS
The New York Times says you might
nearly as well forget your churches,
your academies, and your school-houses
as to forget your local paper. 1t speaks
to ten times the audience that your local
minister does. 1t is read eagerly each
week from the beginning to the end.
1t reaches You all, and if it has a lower
spirit and less wisdom than a sermon,
it has thousand times better chance at
you. Laying, as it does, on every table,
in almost every house, you owe it to
yourselves to rally literally to its sup
port, and extract from it as able, height
ened a character as you do from any
educator in your midst. 1t is in no
sense beneath notice and care-unless
you yourself are beneath notice and
care-for it is your representative. In
deed, i'll its character it is the summa-
ton of the Importance, interest and
welfare of you all. 1t is the aggregate
of your W consequence, and you can
not ignore it without miserably depre-
chatting yourselves.

THE adoption of the postal card has
proved to be a blessing to the masses.
When it was proposed, there were argyll
ments brought up against it sufficient
to condemn it in advance. There are
nearly as many letters sent as formerly,
Notwithstanding the great number of
postal cards used. Since last May,
New York has used II, SOC, 900 of them,
yer 1000, 900 per month. A few days
since, 1,0OO,0O0 were ordered by the
Postoffice of New York city. 1t is now
proposed to issue a return postal card,
the price of which will be two cents.
This would be very convenient where
the sender wished to get a reply to a
brief question. 1t might be arranged
with two places for the address and two
for writing. The n receiving it could
cut off or cross out the part written by
the sender, put on his reply and imme-
diately renal it. This plan would do
much to insure the prompt answering OF
questions.

A slave ship, with 125 negroes on board,
from Mozambique bound for Madagascar,

There was intense excitement in the French
Assembly on the 10Th, the Constitutional bill
prepared by the Left Center being introdue-
ed, and vote of urgency passed by S45 ayes
to 341 noes. Casimir Perier, in introducing
the bill, said the country demanded termi-
nation of the provisional state. He urged
union against Bonapartism and demagogues.
The speaker was frequently interrupted by
the Right, and warmly applauded by the Left.
The bill was referred to committee of thirty.
La Rochefoucauld, Due de Bissacia, of the Ex-
treme Right, then introduced resolution in
substance as follows, which was read amid
profound silence: "The Assembly declares
that the Government of France is monarchy
that the throne belongs to the head of the
house of France; that Marshal MacMahon
may assume the title of Lieutenant of the
Kingdom, and the national institutions shall
be determined by agreement between the
King and national representatives" Great
excitement followed the reading of the reso-
ldtion.
Madrid advices of the 18th were to the ef-
feet that the Carlists were evacuating Estel-
la, and that General Concha was going to at
tack Immediately.

A Lion Hunt on a Steamship.

Lion hunting on board steamship is
certainly novelty, yet the passengers and
crew of the Euphrates and Tigris Steam
Navigation Company's vessel City of Lon
don seem to have had a most exciting and
successful lion hunt on the 10Th of March
last.
From the account given by cores
pondent of the Times of India, it appears
that on the morning of that day, when at
the junction of the two rivers Euphrates
and Tigris, where the two rivers had over
flowed the embankments, three full grown
lions were seen walking along the shore in
the water about mile ahead of the steam
er. On nearing the beasts, one was shot
dead while trying to swim toward the ship.
The launch was manned TO pick up the car
cass and the steamer pur ued the two
others, who turned round to charge the
vessel.
After many shots had been fired at them,
one was struck dead by the commander,
and the other was shortly afterward dis
patched by bullet from Snider. The
steamer then approached the bank, and
the dead lions, or rather lionesses, for such
they proved to be, were taken on board.
About ten minutes later large male lion
was observed crouching down on small
tract of land surrounded with water, and
waving his tail, perhaps as signal of dis
tress. On being fired he gave atremen-
dous roar, and with his name standing on
end, advanced to charge the ship, when a
fresh volIey laid him low. He, too, was
carried on board when thoroughly dead,
and his dimensions were as follows !:
Length from head to tip Of tail, 8 feet 8
inches; length of body, 6 feet inches !;
height, 8 feet 81 inches; weight, 420
pounds. The like of this incident, it is
stated, had never occurred before in that
part of Mesopo otamia. Pull Nall 6asstse,

THE NAPLES.


In the shadow of the NAPLES
That cluster round my home,
] watch the silent changes
That with the seasons come.
,Tis nine and thirty summers
Since the naked prairie land,
With the slender forest saplings,
Was planted by my hand.
Then so slende-, now so sturdy,
Their round tops towering high,
While beneath them, on the greensward,
The cool dark shadows lie.
Beneath these spreading branches,
Cool as the sky o. 'ercast,
i dream OF the boundless future
And muse on the mighty past.
Here sometimes quiet voices
Speak to my inner ear,
In soft and ;euder accents,
What none but can hear.
And think, but not with sadness,
When in earth am laid,
How alter generations
VIII bless this grateful shade.
That here will children gather
For sport at summer noon,
When clover blooms are dropping
In the burning heat of June.
Here, each returning season,
Builds the robin and the jay,
And the ori0le and throstie
Sing the summer months away.
i love those merry woodbirds,
And sitting here l bless
The gentle winds that pass me
With whisper and caress.
o, birds and summer zephyrs,
In better home than this,
Shall hear your rapturous singing
And feel the soft winds kiss
And the once familiar faces
That yearn to See again,
Will they meet me at the threshold
And smile upon me then
Those nine and thirty summers
Like dream have passed away,
And the day those trees were planted
Now seems but yesterday
