There was a funny thing in the canvass for the vacant seats in the French Assem- bly, winch closed, Sunday. At Paris, a working man, Habay, a horny.handed shoemaker, entered the canvass. He was running very we'll, being 8 good candi- date, and was supported by some of the p eminent papers. Finally it was discoy- cred tuat he owned a house worth $50, ,OCO francs, and the working-men threw him overheard. .-Spring,aeJd Republican.
 Such is French Democracy. What would it think of candidate like Wm. H. Barnum? No doubt French Democracy carries it's distrnst of wealth to unjustif. able lengths: but is there no danger from Connecticut Democracy that is destroy edby property, as well as from a French Democracy that destroys property? The one destroys mems houses; the other, their manhood.
 The success of the reform ticket at the recent election in Chicago, is another proof that Honesty can beat Knavery in politics as we'll as in business, provided it uses anything like equal energy and shrewdness. The difficulty in Amerlcan politics is not that the rascals have real majority. but that they make politics a business. Ten scoundrels who work at politics 36S days in year are more than match for any ninety honest men who merely cast vote election days. 
 Woman Suffrage has been defeated in the English parliament as usual. Messrs. Jacob Bright, Fawcett and Forsyth favor. ed the measure. but John Bright spoke and voted against it.

Mir. Moulton very properly objects to a trial before the Scandal Commission pro- posed by the the Advisory Council.
 He says, you need. not ask why do not go before Che commission contrived by your partisans in and out of the Advisory Council. The issue now is, did you com init perjury, or did and my wife commit perjury at the trial in the City Court? I and those rdearesEetom me have as deep an interest in the proper decision of that question as you have. If my picked friends were to institute tribunal to de- cidesit, you would properly distrust it's impartiality and refuse to go before it. Your picked friends have instituted such tribunal, and I las properly distrust its impartiality and decline it's judgment The spiders parlor does not look inviting to the fly. If college professors and doc tors of divinity do not see the validity of my distrust. the sane and fair men who love justice and seek for the truth do see it.
 Mir. Moulton offers to try his case with Mir. Beecher at once, with no technical ob- iections to evidence, and before jury to be selected by ex-President Woolsey, of Yale College, or in several other ways he proposes. @ ..
 Saturdays Tribune has report of the changes in the New York churches this season. There has been a considerable reduction in prices and more than the usu- al number of changes in consequence. The luxury of good music suffers retrench- ment as well as other luxuriss in these hard times. There is super abundance of skilled talent, especially among female singers. We fear, too. that the fervent piety of Mir. Sankey is blinding many to the lamentable poverty of his music. Competent judges tell us that his melo- dies fall far short of the musical merit of the so-called negro songs, so popular a generation since, and most of which are now forgotten.
 The Tribune gives the following amus- ing of the first of a series of evening con- tests for the position of leading soprano in Dr. Chapin's church:
 AbOub OO euCCcCuCu HI OUIdiu' Ing the opportunity for practical trial in the church. The announcement of the first evenings test was answered by a crowded house, and when the request was made that all those desiring to take part in the contest should remove from the body to the gallery of the church, nearly the entire congregation arose, and with rolls of music marched to the rapid beat. ings of their own hearts to the seats above. For three hours the panorama of sopranos passed over the musical disk with one en- ervated organist and two alternating blow boys in the background. Angels ever bright and fair" appeared to be the favor ite selection, and when it came to the words, "take, O take me-" which were de- livered with all the pathos demanded by the text, it appeared direct and touching appeal to the hearts and pockets of the committee.

The MAY ATLANTIC, besides much other interesting matter, contains the conclu- sion of Howells' Private Theatricals,' 8 very fine novel with very disappointing conclusion. The marked character of the story is Mrs. Farrel, one of those female conquerors we read of in ancient history more seldom in modern-the Cleopatra who conquers the Cesar who has conquer cd the world. MT. HowelIs gives his hero- inc little scope fer the exercise of her pe- culiar talent, shut up as she is with bevy of women in farm house for the summer months, but she makes clean sweep of everything masculine that comes within range. She is also quite human and com prehensible, such is the perfection of the novelist's art. Indeed. we think Mir. Howells ranks first among American writers of fiction. although Julian Haw- throne in his "Garth" now publishing in Harper's, shows much of the peculiar power of his father.

 One young man has been looking over the books and papers of his ancestors, and has brought some deeds and other docaments, but would not dare tell now how old they are; and then there is an or iginal paper relating to the draft of Cos hen and Harwinton men for the Revolu- tionary War; but it will not answer for me to write about such things, the papers are in the hands of the man who will give the Historical Address. But there are two old law books which his grandfather bought at the auction of Mrs. Candace Hale, which formerly belonged to Epaph. ras Shelden. (was he not Litch6eld man ? and don't wonder that the Conn. Laws were called blue laws. On page 143 is an act for the punishment of lying.
