The pleasure Of life in Paris has
been somewhat tempered during
the last year or two By the siDgu-
lar venom and fury with which A
merican women are attacked in the
minor French press. They are u
buscd every day as unchaste, vul-
gar, mercenary, and altogether i'm
proper. One young lady is repre-.
sented as saying to an acquaint-
ance who wanted TO take her to the
theater, q would much prefer the
$40 1t would cost YOU There is
much discussion of the word 'firta-
tion,' which is always assumed to
mean the same thing as the word
Eais0a. NJ Maurice Sand draws q
picture of q typical young lady in
good New York society, who drives
down Broadway in a pony phae-
ton, picks up on the ferryboat a to-
tai stranger whose appearance plea
ses her, spends the day with him in
Hoboken, and IN the evening takes
him home with her. 1t is related
that the author read this capter in
manuscript to an American friend,
who told him il was absurd; but NJ.
Sand calmly rejoined, q have been
in New York and know what / am
talking about A play called
Uncle Sam which failed some
time ago in this city, is now enjoy

How Street-Car COmpanics in New
Orleans work for Nothing

On Monday last large and heavy
bag was taken from the Office of the
City Railroad, on Canal street, in
charge of the trcasur of the compa-
ny, and carried to the river; where
il was placed in a boat, which was
TOwed to the middle Of the stream.
The bag was then thrown into the
river, and being very heavy, sunk
doubtless to the bottom, where its
contents will remain until the great
river runs dry OF changes its course.
When either of these remote events
occurs, the generation then inhabit-
ing this region will discover i'm
beIdcd in the great gullevs
created by the action OF the power
ful current, numerous little round
counters of tin, from which the wa
ter has long since washed the origi-
nal facing and coloriug. 1t will on
ly be through antiquarian researches
in the early archives of the country
that they may be put on the track
Of the nature and histary of these
mysterious counters. Should they
be fortunate enough to obtain this
edition of the PjcaWae, they viii
learn that on the second day of
March, in the year Of our Lord,
1874, q single railroad corporation
of this city made this mysterious
deposit, in the Mississippi, of for
ty-sevcn thousand sO-callcd coins of
the great republic of the United
States es-cOmmonly called nickels,
but manufactured by private enter
prise within these corporate limits.
The said simulated coins were the
receipt OF one years business, max
ing an average of counterfeit mon
ey paid to the company OF six dol
lars per day-CnOugh 10 feed twenty
mules. One hundred and twenty
passengers per day thus manage to
travel on this road without pay.
And this is only one of some eight
or ten railroad companies in full
operation in this city. IL is true, it
IS the largest Of the several compa-
uies- the City Railroad Company;
but allowing q prOportiOnate loss to
the other companies, we should not
think it an eXtravagant estimate TO
place the number of persons in this
city who avail themselves of the
great facilities and benefits OF these
companies, of this cheap and COM
Portable mode of transportation, at
one thousand per day. 1t is cer-
tsinly a startling exposure of the
prevalence OF crime, and of the i'm
potence OF our police to detect Of
tenders and protect the property
and rights Of honest citizens. 1t is
difficult to imagine how so exten-
sivc 4 crime can be carried on in
this city for song period without
detection, cr even q clue TO the per-
petrators therein. The railroad
companies have offered a reward Of
a thousand dollars for information
which will lead TO the discovery and
punishment OF these offenders, but
thus far our police have been foiled
in all their cudeavOrs TO earn tins
reward, or afford the protection
which is Il digrace to the city is not
secured TO its citizens.

Excitement at "A JaiI--A Gagged Bird
Takes Flight.

E1citCmenT at n Jafi--A Gagged Bird
Takes Flight.
On Tuesday evening, about dusk, n
considerable excitement was aroused
at the old brick Jail, by the sudden
attempt of q prisoner to make his es-
cape. The attempt was made by one
Chas. Cole, youngster about Il or IS
years old, and was as audaciOus and
bold, as if it had been made by one
of the most experienced and daring
desperadoes of the age. It stamps
Cole as n rising young man in the
profession which he has chosen, and
if he keeps on, we shall not be sur
prised to hear that he is in congress
one of these days. The way of it was
this. Marshal Vernon, the jailer,
went to Coles cell, where several 9TH
or prisoners are confined, and ordered
Cole to carry out a vessel of offal /;
this Cole started to do, closely follow
ed by the iailer, when just as they
reached the outside door, he turned
quickly and threw the filthy contents
of the vessel il the breast and face
of the jailer, and then while the en-
ragged iailer was endeavoring to clear
his misty sight, so as to bring his ar
tillery into service, the youthful Cole
bounded through the doorway, and
struck for the woods in the west part
of town. But the indOmitable iailor
was not to be outdOne in any such
manner, and locking the door behind
him, to prevent the escape of the
other prisoners, he commenced the
pursuit. Four ineffective shots were
1 o. f,fn l..
him but run the faster. The Mar
shal's sight was evidently bad. But
what he lacked in this regard, he
made up in the free use Of a vigorous
pair of lungs, as he shouted Justify
"stop thief" etc. This had the eff
feet to attract the attention of num-
bcr of boys who joined in the chase,
when the pursuit became quite excit-
ing, But Just as Cole was nearing
the woods. Mr.. DuntOn, who lives in
the west part of town, attracted by
the noise, appeared IN his front and
ordered him to surrender. Cole
stopped and the race ended, but not
so the Indignation or wrath of the
offended jailor. The insult which he
had received, together with the excit-
ing race, had stirred his blood to fe-
yer heat, and when he laid hold OF the
naughty Cole, his wrath knew no
bounds. He ragged and swore, and
stamped the ground and fairly sworo
blue streak, at the same time -four
ishing his empty revolver over the
lead of poor Cole, who stood speech
less, and almost scared to death, look
ing pale as a ghost. As soon as his
wrath had somewhat subsided, the
marshal marched his prisoner back to
Jail, presented him with a pair of
bracelets and chained him down Sc
cureIy. The Marshal is of the opin-
ion that it was a put-up Job among
the prisoners to escape. Cole was Sc
lected to throw the Offal III his face so
as to blind him, and in the confusion
the prisoners were to make n general
stampede for their liberty. But
Marshal Vernon was too sharp for
them, and locked the door before
starting after Cole. Since the drench-
ing the Marshal has appeared in q
new suit of clothes.

BUD. for Peaeh Tres..

In selecting buds for propagating
the peach, 1 would not give much
preference to single, double, or triple
buds, believing that the single buds
start the soonest in the spring, the
double buds the surest. And in bud
ding from yearly trees there is not
much but single buds, unless we use
very large buds. 1 prefer to have
bud sticks Just a little smaller than
the stocks, without regard to wheth-
er the buds be single or otherwise.
Iu propagaUing from bearing trees,
I find it best to use triplicate buds,
as then there is always wood, as well
as fruit buds. For budder that can
tell fruit and wood buds apart, it will
make 10 practical difference so far
as my observation extend.-C0r. Gar
dener's Monthly.

Roman Catholic farmers desirOus
of joining tho Order OF th0 pairets
of Husbandry, have hitherto had I'm
their way the laws af their Church
fOrbidding its members 10 identify
themselves with secret societies.
OF our American prelatcs, we be-
lieve the Archbishop Alsmauny, Of
san francisco, has held that the
Catholic farmer will do well TO err
on the side Of safety, and so not
join the Grange until the Pope has
expressed his approval of its OBJ
jectS, while other bishops have for
hidden members of their flocks
from becoming Patrons uDon any
consideration. The matter has been
finally adjudicated on by Plus IN,
as appears by the NOrisE T0lkr0tad,
the scandinavian organ of Mime
sofa. A Catholic member of the
State Legislature was desirous -as
most members Of State Legislatures
are at present OF joining the
Grange, but had-as most members
OF State Legislature have not con-
scicntiOus scruples about doing so,
arising from his religious belief
He consulted Father Ireland. of ST.
Paul, who referred him to Bishop
Grace. Both these clcrgymen eX-
pressed themselves as possessing
favorable impression OF the princi-
pies, objects and methods OF the
-lsFange, but neither of them could
break through the absolute rule of
the Church, and recommended the
Legislator to appeal 10 Rome. He
accordingly laid the matter before
the Pope, to whom he transmitted
at the same time full particulars as
TO the objects contemplated by the
Order, and the means by which il
was proposed to attain them. a
reply has been received from His
Holiness, stating that the Pope sal
lows the petitioner to join the
Grange Of Patrons of Husbandry,
and be a member thereof, il he find
nothing therein conflicting with his
conscience or the creed of the Cath
olic Church" As a consequence,
the Order has received a large ac-
cession OF strength in Minnesota,
and when the news of the Pope's
decision has reached other States, its
effect will be largely 10 increase the
numbers of the Patrons, and to re-
move the interdict laid upon Catho-
lies desirous of becoming such, by pre-
late who have disapproved of the |
Grange, or been doubtful as TO the
consistency of its obligations with |
those of the Church.-.T. Louis |

he dared not break silence.

peared, bearing in-his hand bag and
