TIE story that the French Prince

world IL denied by the Paris Pays,
which says: "At this moment
Prince of the Imperial family must re-
specially hold himself at the disposal

The Providence (R. H. Sun, speak
ing recently OF the squally aspect of in
dustrial affairs in that little State,
earnestly urges that the un-American
features of the Rhode Island charter,
derived frOm King Charles III in 1868,
be abolished, and Rhode Island citi-
zens accorded the privileges which cit
liens of other States enjoy. AT pres
ent half the population is excluded
from votiLg because a real estate quail
ilicatiOn Is required. 1t il u note-
worthy fact that none of the RepubIi-
can philauthropists who have screamed
themselves hoarse on the subject of the
necessity of negro suffrage ever open
their mouths in behalf OF the white
brethren who are denied the right Of

Don Piatt in the Capital The Gov
eminent, In the person of its official,
gives from 8 Il. m. till 3 p. IN. to labor.
II is II quiet, easy, gentlemanly sort of
labor, that cannot be hurried. At
three precisely the Government takes
of its linen buster, puts on its coat
sand goes forth to dinner. Thereafter,
until nine next morning, the Govern
ment reads novels or newspapers, or
gossips and smokes. The gigantic in
tellect of the Government in this way
refreshes itself for another round of
business. What makes matters much
worse is that Government is in n
chronic state of swamp, so to speak.
There are always from ninety to nine
hundred cases to be considered before

Philadelphia Times A very horri-
bic affair has occurred in Chicago. AT
the lunch given to the President, at
the Palmer House, Mayor Colvin rose
and proposed the health of his Excel
lency, with the remark that it would
be, he supposed, the last time they
would have the pleasure to drink with
General Grant AS President We can
imagine that when the full purport of
these words was comprehended by
those present, the company stood
agbast, and that profound silence fell
upon them. 1t had been sufficiently
melancholy to hear this sentiment ut
tered ut State conventions and through
the columns of the newspapers. and
the Presidents intimates, gathered
there to u social lunch, wholly apart
from political feeling, must have been
Mortified beyond expression to have
their third-term dream dlssipated be-
fore the very eyes of their chief over II
toast in his honor. But Grant took it
very coolly. He drank to the death of
his tondest ambition and then pluck
lily rose up to respond. The Mayor, he
said, had made a mistake. His term
as President would not expire until
1877, and he expected to visit Chicago
once year. With that he sat down
again, and whether he was in earnest
or jest is likely to he conundrum
which even the born guessers of Chi
cago will have to give up.
