II. ID. CONWAY writes as follows from
Paris to the Cincinnati Commercial: "On
the whole, the cause of the Republic in
France seems to me in a declining condi-
ton. You can tell a Republican by his
silence and sadness. He plainly recognizes
that the animating spirit of the present
Government is hatred to the Republic. He
can feel the Imperiallst hand of iron under
the s~eptennate glove. He has distinctly
recognized that Theirs is irrecOyerably
gone that even if he should recover that
ancient mariner of the State the Govern
ment would be reactionary Gambeita, the
man he longs for, recedes further into the
distance, and even begins to fade. Aud
the rural Republic begins, in his despair, 10
doubt whether even for himself and for
France the least evil alternative may not
be a Bonapartist restoration"

LAND WARRANTS.
FINANCIAL.

We have still to report business as e&-
tremely dull, with nothing doing in stocks
and bonds, and the banks indisposed to do
much in the way Of discoGnting, though
money is in good demand.
Gold has made a decline, closing in New
York at 1901. Our dealers pay los, while
they hold at 1901.
Exchange on New York is firm. The
banks buy at par and sell at 81 per thou
sand premium.
Government bonds are lower. The
5-2Os of 1867 have declined to 1T. They
are worth about this rate in this market.
Tennessee bonds continue to decline and
are offered in New YOrkat "a flor the funded
series.
In our local bonds and stocks there Is
nothing doing. For rates we refer to
those given BY the Nashville Savings Com
pany, corner Union and College streets.

Mr.. BERGH has carried his human war
fare into the domain of medical science in
his recent attack upon the practice of yivi-
section, or the act Of dissecting living
bodies. He quotes eminent Psychologists
to show that viyisection is a scientific fail
ure as well As cruelty, inasmuch as the in
formation sought to be obtained is no more
possible while the body is writhing in
agony shan the correct time by a clock
whose machinery is wholly disordered.
Moreover, the knowledge which it is claim
ed ca be thus acquired has been exhaust
ed, ana IS contained in reliable treatises.
MI. Bergh instances an experiment with
an animal where the abdomen was opened
and the vessels leading 70 the liver tied in
such a manner as 10 allow nothing TO en-
Ter or escape by the main channel. This
operation was continued for six weeks.
Another experiment was that of = goat
with its back open to the spinal marrow.

ABosToN family returned, unexpected,
from the country, the other evening, and

The reeeipt-book will be retained at
the postotfce, where the papers viii be
weighed. The stubs Of the receipt
book viii serve as memoranda to the
postoffice of the sums paid, from which
returns to the General Department will
be made. The stamping of papers in
bulk will not require more than four
stamps Of different denominations to
make up the amount of postage paid
by the publishers on any package,
whatever that amount may be. Even
IN 4 ton of newspaper matter, on which
the postage viii be $40, only the four
stamps viii be required to make up the
amount of postage paid. This stamp
system has been devised, as the
act of Congress requires the use
OF adhesive stamps. The stamps
will be affixed to the stTp of the re-
ceipts by the postSnice clerk and then
cancelled. mus the publishers will be
saved tie tronble of buying and afix-
Ips stamps. After the law goes into
effect he VIII simply take his receipts
and hold them as evidence that the
postage was paid, General Barbour
expects to say by this system of pay
ment thousands Of dollars to the Treas

plan to Postmaster General Jewell,
who approves tin every respect. When
the details are completed a circular
viii be issued by the department e&-
planning the system, copies of which
will be forwarded to the newspaper
and publishing houses and to the 1000
pOstmssters throughout the States, and
on the LIST of January next the change
will be made.
