PARIS, Feb. 23.-The Assembly had a
most important and excited session yes

Thirty on new projects for the organiza-

the American plan proposed by NJ. Van
Train at the sitting OF February 18th,
whioh was to elect Senators by a method
similar to that by which the President OF
the United States is chosen. The Com
mittee approve, with certain moditica-
tions, the bill offered by M. Waddington
on the same day, which provides for the
election OF Senators by the Assembly,
Councils General, the Colonies and the
Institute. They say that a Senate formed

enced men, and would be, to a certain
extent, modelled alter the Senate of the

Motions declaring urgency for and in
favor OF the immediate consideration of
addington's bill, as amended by the
Committee, were made, and receiving
the support of both Centers and the en-
tire Lett, were passed. Thereupon men,
bers of the Right withdrew from the
Chamber. The sitting was suspended
for few moments, when proceedings
were resumed.
Marquis De Casteline, Monarchist,
mounted the tribune, anu declared the
Senate would lead to dissolution and an
archy. He threatened that if measures
were voted imposing ON President Mac
Mahon the necessity of organizing the
Republic, the Deputies Of the Right
would resign in body.
The Assembly proceeded to debate the
Senate bill.
A motion was carried that the bill for
the organization of public powers be
made the order of the day for to-day, and
the sitting adjourned.

Insults.

1t is always better to pass dozen in
tended insults without recognition. than
to take Ofense at single unintentionaI
neglect or reflection. Misunderstand-
ings are fruitful OF more unkind feelings
in society than ever result from deliber-
ate ill-nature. Hundreds OF friendships
have been sundered by that egotistical
sensitiveness that is ever looking for Of
tense. We can all point to certain per-
sons who are thus morbidly sensitive to
a painful degree. They are disagreeable
companions. We need not spend our
precious time in pointing to them, how
ever. We have each something to guard
in our own character. We are each In.
clined to take offense too easily. 1t we
could remove this ever-jealous watchful.
ness, society would gain new charm,
or rather it would be relieved of very
disagreeable feature. Pass neglect, then,
and personal reflections, as gracefully as
possible instead of taking the risk Of be-
ing offended when no 0tfense is intend
ed.

The Mdrtha Washington Tea PARTY.

~"o mofWU Vu5NtHytoH Leu LuFtU
The ladies of Mt. Auburn last night
proved that they are equal to anything
that involves esriretic taste, good cheer,
and the highest degree of pleasure. The
entire arrangements for the evening
were most complete and the execution
admirable.
1t is impossible to convey to the minds
eye the elaborateness and good taste of
the various tables, but those who had
the rare good fortune to be lookers-on
will ever recall the vision with exquisite
pleasure. They were presided over as
follows Mrs. Hollister, Vermont and
Virginia; Mrs. Holden, Connecticut; Mrs.
Henry Handy, Delaware; Mrs. Ramsey,
New Hampshire; Mrs. Adolph Wood,
New York; Mrs. Thane Miller, Mrs. j. ID.
Este, Mrs. Reeder, North Carolina; Mrs.
Powell, Georgia; Mrs. A. d. Bullock,
New Jersey; Mrs. Jason Evans, and
Mrs. Lippincott, Pennsylvania; Mrs.
Judge Woodruff, Rhode Island; Mrs. A.
IL. Hinkle, Massachusetts,; Mrs. Jethro
Mitchell, South Carolina. They were
assisted by host of young ladies far to
look upon and winning in all their ways.
Prominent among the managers of this
delightful party were Mrs. A. D. Bullock,
Mrs. Matthew Addy, Mrs. Judge Mallon,
and Mrs. A. +. Perry. The ruling spirit
OF the evening was Mrs. Bullock.
She was dressed in an elegant
mauve silk made in old time
fashion, and the white kerchief and Mar
tha Washington cap exposing the natur-
al sllyered hair were exceedingly becom-
ing. Another lady who attracted much
attention from her very elegant and be-
coming attire was Mrs. Carl Adae. She
wore a genuine peruke, all braided and
curled, and her tout ensemble was indeed
magnificent.
Other ladies might be specially men,
TONED, but we forbear.
The Pennsylvania table was most ar
tistically arranged, and guests fingered
long, looked admiringly, and left It re-
grettully. The table Of mementoes was
also a great magnet. This table was
presided over by Mrs. A. ID. Bullock,
Mrs. John Shillito, Mrs. Hollingshead
and Miss Murdoch, the last two being
daughters of MIR. Jas. Il. Murdoch. These
ladies were all dressed most tastefully in
the costumes of re. This table brought
most money into the treasury of any.
The address OF Prof. Orton was in
tensely interesting, showing deep re-
search and mastery ability. 1t is wor-
thy of repetition, and we would suggest
that he be induced to repeat it at a time
and place where undivided attention
can be given to it.
MIR. James f. Murdoch, Ohio's own
Prince Of Elocutionists, also made a
stirring little speech. His words COM
pletely enraptured the listeners. The
spirit OF rs was breathed forth from his
lips and enthused the assembly.
The Mt. Auburn ladies may congratu-
late themselves on the complete sue
cess Of their entertainment socially and
we trust financially.

"Dr. Adams is in the habit of having one
of the senior class at breakfast with him
each morning. Afterward they retire to
the doctors study, and from that they
go to the church next door; the youthful
candidate takes the pulpit and the
teacher the pew, and the young man
breaches sermon. DR.. Adams hears
and notes the points important to be
criticised, matter and manner, voice,
tones, gestures, attitudes and faces; sins
Of omission and commission; and then
and there, alone and freely, points them
out, requires him to try again to correct
the fault on the spot, to get out of the
bad habit he is getting into, and if one
lesson fails he must come again and
never give over until the practice is
broken up utterly and better one
formed in its place"

The class who upon the whole get the
least notice taken of them, and are often
est snubbed and hurt, are the boys. The
ordinary, commonplace ones Imean, who
are especially brilliant in nothing, and
who are at the awkward, obtrusive age
when their feet and hands are big, and
they seem to have talent for forever
being in the way. Their very faces have
lost the sweetness of babyhood, and have
not gained the meaning of manhood. No
body has much patience with them, and
the house is so much stiller when they
are out of it that even mother does not
ask where they are when they stink out
of sight, perhaps, after supper, God help
them! Many boy might be saved from
period of wild and reckless dissipation
If only there was somebody who could
see the better part of him, and care
enough for it to endure the rougher out
side and help him along. There are
plenty of neglected boys who wear good
warm clothes and have shoes on their
feet. Is there one that we know? If SO.

a growing interest that did not care to
impart to others, for was jealous of the
friendly carelessness with which they re-
garded me. Knowing that still sat by
my window and could see directly into
the room, they did not care to shut me
out by leosening the falling drapery of
the window. SO my kindly interest kept
pace with my imagination, that wove for
them many romantic tale.
A rumor reached us that the pretty
woman was the banished wife of GER
tain member of royal family, but moth
ing occurred to confirm the report. The
magnificent open carriage had been put
away and replaced by an elegant close
twoseated cab, in which the lady and
child took their usual airing. The short
days and cool evenings admonished the
summer guests it was time to dispense to
winter quarters, and / confess it was
with feeling of real regre. that looked
for the last time on the bright boy and
his interesting mother, for my interest
had grown to be more than mere idle
curiosity.
A friend who remained promised to
announce to us anything unusual that
might happen to our interesting neigh
Dor Soon we heard: /" Since certain
royal family are reported to be in Paris
our pretty neighbor has received dis
patch regularly every morning" The
messenger who CHANGED to bring q dis
patch to our landlady complained that he
had made that long walk every morning
for some days ia order to carry dis
patch to the adjoining villa. This
seemed to confirm the floating rumor, and
the lady grew to be more an object of in
tcrest than ever.
Not long after an unusual excitement
ct the villa attracted attention and the
anxious appearance of the pretty woman
at the window announced an expectant
arrival. Presently tall, handsome man
in plain black dress walked quietly up
from the depot. The butler and foot
man were waiting at the door, fairly
laughing from the crowns of their pow
dered heads to the soles of their slippered
feet At the first sound of the opening
gate the pretty woman, regardless of all
ceremony and everything but giving
sway to her long-pent-up feelings, flew
down the stairway and in an instant
more was clasped in the loving arms of
her husband, the Grand Duke Alexis, of
Russia.
He remained with her Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday. only going out with her
and the child for drive in the close cab.
Sunday evening she took him alone in
the cab to the depot, and Tuesday morn
ing our papers announced that Sunday,
half-past twelve p. M, the Grand Duke
Alexis arrived in Berlin from Paris, and
took lodgings with the Russian Ambas-
sador. We knowing ones smiled over
the pretty deception, but out of regard
for the devoted wife said nothing, and
now that all danger is over intrust the
secret to the generosity of your readers,
who / know will sympathize with the
situation of the pretty Countess who
dares not to be the acknowledged wife
of possible claimant of the Russian
throne.-Beylin Cor. Cincinnati Gazette.
