WHEN Garrick was in Paris, Pre-
vile, the celebrated French actor, in
vited him to his villa, and being in
gay humor, he proposed to 60 in one
of the hired coaches that regularly
piled between Paris and Versailles, on
which road Preville's villa was situa-
ted. When they got it, Garrick or
dered the coachman to drive on; but
the driver answered that he could not
until he had got his complement of
four passengers. A caprice immediate
ly seized Garrick' He determined to
give his brother player specimen of
his art. While the coachman was at
tentively looking out for passengers,
Garrick slipped out at the opposite
door, went round the coach; and by
his wonderful command of facial ex-
preston, palmed himself off upon the
coachman as stranger. This he did
twice, and was admitted into the coach
each time as a fresh passenger, to the
establishment and admiration of Pre-
Vile. Garrick slipped out third
time. and addressed himself to the
coachman, who said in a surly tone
that he had "got his complement
He would have driven off without Gar

| as the stranger appeared to be a very
little man, they would accommodate
the gentleman and make room fol
him.

THREE men of considerable note
have died since our last issue, and as a
chronicler of passing events we note
them. On the 18th, at Fair Haven,
Conn.,, the Rev. John G. 5. Abbott, D.
D., died. He was marked historian,
having written several lives of the
great Napoleon and Napoleon and his
Marshalls, and many other biographical
works Of some note.
John Petit, ex-senator from Indi-
ana, ex-Supreme Judge, and withal a
man of marked ability in his day, died
on the 18th, at Lafayette, Indiana.
And on the same there died at Lo-
gaDsport, Ind, of heart disease, Hon.
D. D. Pratt, recently U. S. Senator

ALEXANDRIA can boast of being
the champion country Town just now
in the vegetable and fruit line. Never
before have we seen the quantity and
variety of vegetables, and the finest
ever raised and grown, which you can
now purchase on the corner of every
street in the Town, and then at fair
prices. And all this is equaled by the
profusion of melons, cantelopes, figs,
plrms, peaches and apples, all mellow,
ripe and delicious, but not as yet at
the cheapest of rates. We have been
luxuriating in both lines, but unfortu-
nately at our own expense, and yet
hold in reserve the tip of our new bea-
YER to the first rush of fruits vouch-
safed US as a mark of our gastronomic
virtues.

STOPPING ADVERTISEMENTS. - The
Mining and Scientific Press, of San
Francisco, publishes good hint under
the above heading, which we here
quote;
"We have frequently received let.
tiers from readers asking whether such
and such a firm, which recently adver-
tised in the Press, has Suspended, and
we know that advertisers do not al
ways consult their best interests by
removing their names from before the
public. We believe the following from
the Engineer is very true: "Certain
firms try to economic by taking out
their advertisements occasionally;
they might as we'll take down the sign
over their doors. Advertisements
should be continuous. Any idea of
disseminating them for period, how
ever brief, with view of saving, is a
mistake which leads not only to disap-
pointment, but loss. 1t involves not
only the loss of time during which the
advertisement ceases to appear, but
the additional loss of time required to
bring the public interest up to the
point of which it left off. The provert
'out of sight out of mind is no where
more applicable than in the case of an
advertisement"

THE New Orleans Renublica

THE New Orleans Republican,
the organ of the Radical party of
Louisiana since its advent in our
State, and withal an excellent and
ably conducted newspaper, has sus-
pended, after having come down to a

signs of the complete dissolution of
the radical party here than this sus-
pension plainly indicates, and it is
to be hoped that nothing but good
will follow such marked change Of
public opinion.

So He Goes.

To manage the Government and the
affairs of the country, without the in
reference of Congress-, would doubt
less be acceptable business for Hayes
and his Cabinet. Give them full swing
and they would show how the thing
could be done, at least as long as their
bills were paid. Congress, and espe-
cially the House of Representatives, is
an annoyance to them. So keenly is
Hayes aware of it's meddling propensi-
ty that he refrained from converting it
this month, though there are duties
for it to perform that cannot be post
poned without the violation of law.
Hayes attempt to manage the Gov
eminent in his bungling way, and to
undertake business on his own account
which Congress alone can authorize,
and of which it alone can direct the
execution, is evidently to be carried
as tar as possible. He is already keep
ng up the army and the whole militia
ry establishment, without the appro-
priation therefor having been made at
the last session. He has empowered
Gen. Ord to cross the Rio Grande, in
wade Mexico, aad thus commit an open
act of war, without the authority of
Congress. He has done many other
things of lesser consequence, that, in
like manner, involve usurpation of
power and contempt for the limita.
tons that are imposed by the Consti-
tuition, upon which he himself is a
fraud. Jay Gould's Tribune publishes
a Washington dispatch, as follows:
"The Cabinet has not yet decided
whether it would be going beyond the
proper functions of the Executive to
appoint provisional Commission to
the Paris Exposition before Congress
has authorized the formal acceptance
of the invitation of the French Gov
eminent"
Why should Hayes and his Cabinet
need so much time to decide such a
question as this ? 1t is true that the
French invitation was before Congress
at the last session; that Congress took
no action upon it; that Congress made
no provision for the appointment Of
Commissioners; and that Congress ap'
propriatcd no money for the Paris Ex.
position. But why should this stand
in Hayes way9 Why should he moi
in his own name, undertake the bust
ness of accepting the French invita-.
tionq Why should he not, then, ap
point the Commissioners, empower
them to use the credit of the Govern
ment, assure them of his responsibility
::or any expenses incurred, and direc
them to prosecute the work of getting
up an American department of the Pa
ris Exposition 1t would be going be
yond the proper functions Of the Exec
utive, without doubt; but that is o
no account to Hayes and his Cabinet
Hayes and his Cabinet are running
up a long account for settlement b.

in hand before this year is ended
