There has ever been . strong feel.
ing OF friendship and admiration
for tho United States on the part
Of the masses OF tho French peo-
pie. This has always been recip-
rocated by the strong sympathy ever
fslt and manifested by our country for
the cause Of freedom in France, and
for the true honor and dignity of the
French nation. The country Of Wash
ington and the country Of Lafayette are,
o. they should be, united by fraternal
bonds OF no common character. The
colossal statue about to be erected
IN New York bay u . at ex.
p0nept Of this close relation. A
few months ago In . French society.
composed principally Of workingmen,
the idea was broached that Republican
Francs should commemorate our cen-
tennial year by . due recognition of
the services Of America in the cause OF
freedom. The French are always n
sttusiastic. The idea was siexed upon,
funds ware raised, and under the aus
.pices OF the organisation known ~
sLPUnion Fnnco-Americaine, the great
work IL rapidly approaching compile
ton. The Eoint Of location has been
fixed upon and purchased; the design

Near the entrance to the harbor of

The telegraph has for some days
been silent concerning the status OF
the investigation into the Official con-
duct OF the Speaker Of the House. Not
only In the abstract t~elegraphed to the
SENrINEL, but ever in the full dis
patches Of the Associated Press to our
Western exchanges, little or no allu-
sion has been made to the matter.
During this interval Of silence we have
feared for the result. It was therefore
with pleasure that in opening our New
York exchanges Of the 9th instant, we
discovered, ia full, testimony ALSO
Iutely exonerating him as far rs the Nv.
idence Of Harvey affects him. The
evidence is tor voluminous to permit
of our quoting or wen summarizing
Il. It's effect may be gathered from
the following editorial comments of
the New York Herald, which-Mr.
Kerr having n presidential sspira-
iions-hss been throughout the inves-
tiRation absolutely impartial:
The probity Of Speaker Keer in the
case ofthe appointment Of Greene to =
I~ieutenancy in the army is thoroughly
established outside Of the very careful
hut emphatic statement Of the gentle
man himself. There has been no
doubt about Greene paying the money
IN Harvey, and there is equally no
doubt that Harvey kept 1t. The will
inRness OF Harvey 70 make . little
capital in the Custom House by telling
scraps of the story he afterward re-
lated to the committee in quite intelli-
gible with 4 man OF his mental calibre
and moral character. So far - the
Speaker is concerned the cAse is closed
entirely to Mr.. Kerr's credit; but with
Harvey, who evidently obtained
Greene's money unier false pretenses,
the end should be different.

CHAPTER XVII.

The narrator's voice here faltered, as though
recollections, too affecting to be borne, had
overpowered him. Respecting his emotion,
remained silent, expectantly awaiting for him
to proceed.
After short pause, he resumed.
II will not now circumstantially describe
the progress of my attachment the rapid
growth of which soon inspired me with re-
solve to hazard my fate, on what feared was
but a slender chance of success. Years in
timacy could not have strengthened the love
which Clara had so suddenly awakened in my
heart, or given me more perfect assurance
of the happiness which would derive from a
union with her; but trembled lest the COM
paratively slight knowledge of me which she
possessed might prove barrier to my hopes.
As the time approached, however, for their
departure, I found myself impelled to declare
my feelings, which had become too strong to
be repressed by conventional scruples, and
seeking the Count, on the eve of the day ap-
pointed for our separation, frankly confessed
the truth, and asked for his sanction to my
suit.
II cannot express the almost delirious joy,
mixed with astonishment, that I felt when,
warmly pressing my hand, he gave me the
assurance of his entire cooperation with my
wishes, adding. that in these the most ardent
desire of his heart was gratifed, as be had
felt from the beginning of our acquaintance
that I was the very person on whom he would
most gladly bestow the hand Of his darling
child. He requested me, however, to say
nothing to her on the subject for the present.
He would write and give me his address with
in very short period, and I could then visit
him at his own residence, and more 6ttingly
pursue the object 1 had in view-that Of win
ming the affection of Clara. To this I Of
course agreed, happy in my success so far,
and hopeful Of the future; and within a
fortnight after he left the castle, received an
intimation that the Count had established
himself at an agreeable residence not more
than ten miles distant from the castle, where
I might, if I pleased, visit them every day.
II need not say to you, that was not tar.
dy in taking advantage of the opportunity
thus afforded me; and I became regular
visitor at "Adlerfels," as the Counts new
abode was styled. My impatience would not
permit me to wait more than a few weeks be-
fore pressed upon Clara my suit; though 1
must acknowledge that she had given me less
encouragement than I desired during my
courtship. She hesitated some time, eptreat-
ing me to allow her some time for considera-
ton but on my urging her with ardor to end
my suspense, finally yielded. !. was blind
enough to attribute her hesitation to natural

returned to the hut, however, and partook
with him Of his frugal morning meal, then re-

and set out on my homeward way, resolved, if
possible, to profit by the advice he had given
me, and to make the best of my hard lot.

BRAIN BREAK DOWN. The brain may fair.
ly be ikened to the steam-engine of large
mill. 1t is the engine of the body, and the
nerves through which it directs all the move
ments of the body are its belts and shafts.
When the steam-engine of the mill is doing
its legitimate work, disseminating power
through the great building, sending the belts
flying on their endless rounds, and whirling
the heavy shafts and wheels, its action is nor
NAL and healthy, and if l may be allowed to
compare it to living thing, it feels rather
better when night comes in consequence Of its
exercise. But sever its connection with the
ponderous works that ramify through the
building relieve it Of the exertion necessary
to move the hundred pieces of machinery /;
leave it alone, with only its fires, its boilers,
its cylinders, its piston-rods and Ay-wheel,
and let it rush on. Il is then working all
within itself, while the great body Of the e.
tablishment stands still; its 6res roar y
usual; the vanishing streams Of water rapid
ly, as ever, change into pentup steam, cha
fng like q Gagged lion to burst the iron bounds
within which it is confined; the piston.rods
dart back and forth like bolts of lightning /;
the heavy Ay.wheel huns round, making the
walls and the earth itself tremble and shake; ];
then that engine is wearing itself away much
faster than if it were running the vast ma

chinery of the mill, and it is in danger of
sudden wreck. It is so With the working
brain. It is accustomed to running the ma
chinery of the whole body, and 80 dividing
and doing out its steam-like powers in steady
streams. It directs every movement; it says
to the right hand, "Do this" and to the left,
"Do that" and out through the nerves it
sends that strange life.power that enables the
limbs to obey. Now, when the editor sits
down to his work, the whole body, with the
exception of the right hand, is at rest, and
the brain works alone, like the crushing en-
CINE that finds itself freed from the heavy ma
chinery that kept its motion moderate and
steady. Through the long day or weary night
the brain rushas on, like the detached engine
that whirls its dizzy 'fy-wheel; and it is not
strange that the tenement of the brain trem-
bles, like the walls of the building that the
brain itself collapses, as when the engine flies
to pieces and that the whole fabric crum-
bles and falls before it's time. The power Of
the mill is the steam-sngine, yet nothing
about the mill requires such careful and deli
cate attention; the power of the man is the
brain, and one little overstrain upon it may
doit more harm than the manglipg Of oil the
limbs. A man may live, be phyacally heal
thy and mentslly brilliant after all his
limbs have been cut off; but the final burden
under which the brain breaks down brings
spoplexy, then speedy death. Of that dis
ease, which fortunately is no lingering one,
probably all hard.vorking.s certainly ell over
