TheFrench Assembly.

PARIS, December 3l.-In the Assem-
bly, to-day permanent committee was
chosen, according to an agreement be-
tween the various parties. 1t consists OF
thirteen members of the Left snd twelve
of the Right. All the measures remain
ing to be acted on, principally railway
bills, were passed almost without debate.
The Due D'Pasquier, President Of the
Assembly, then rose and made q speech
closing the session. He eloquently recapit-
ulated the achievements OF the Assembly,
which ,had undertaken its trust on the
morrow OF madly undertaken war and
horrors of the Commune. He contend.
ed that the Assembly had reorganized the
internal administration and voted con-
stitution, in which individual preferences
have been subordinated to love Of
country. That constitution lie, perhaps,
imperfect, but without it there would be
the double peril ofdespotisn and anarchy.
You will confide the constitution to the
honor of the President and
the wisdom of the New Assembly. You
may with confidence submit yourselves
to the Judgment of the country, for you
restore to it its flag and its liberty intact.
In conclusion he declared the National
Assembly prorogued until the 9th OF
March, 1876, when new chambers are to
meet. The Assembly separated, the dep
uties of the Left shouting "Nlve l. Re
publique."

Powder Improves girl sometimes, but
it seldom finds this out until it is suggest

Healthy girl costs its parents less money
for doctors bills, but persons who write
romantic tales for circulating libraries
choose unhealthy and pasty-faced girls
to write about the swooning kind pre-
ferred.
Lately l bought si1penny worth OF

therein ten pictures illustrative OF girl in
