Ex-Ministor Washburno on Affairs in
France.

Ex-Ministor Washburn8 On Affairs in
France.
Upon the arrival of our distinguish
ed ex-Minister to Frace in New York,
the irrepre8sible newspaper interview
er sought him out and obtained from
him some views and opinions On the
general aspect Of affairs in France.
From the fact that MI. Washburne
has lived through five different forms
jof government in France, during a
residence Of eight years, and knows
that country as we'll as any living
American, his opinions are Of more
than ordinary respect.
Concerning the result of the impend-
ling election. Mr.. Washburne states
that in the last conversation held with
NJ. Theirs, "who knew France better
than any other man living, that great
statesman assured him that the Re
Ipublicans, instead Of electing the 3G3
former Deputies, would elect the whole
400" Gambetta also eltertains the
same opinion, while the Government
IpartY on the other hand, profess to
believe they will SO reduce the Repub-
lic4n majority that tile moderate Left
will hold the balance of power. Mr..
Wasbburne adds; Il have lived long
enough in France to understand it is
extremely unsafe to venture any pre-
dictions as to future political events"
In regard to the reported effort Of
Mr. Washburne to dissuade General
Grant from visiting Paris at the time
he was in England, the ex-Minister
says it is true, and that he did SO be-
cause the feeling in Paris against the
MacMahon Government was SO bitter
that an outbreak might have grown out
of the occasion. Mr.. Washburne has
been blamed for this action in some
quarters, but there is not the slightest
reason to suppose that any other mo-
tiyes influenced him than chose alleged
at the time and repeated in this CONVEX
sation. 1t is barely possible that Mt.
Washburno estimates the danger iii the
present political crisis too seriously,
but time alone can determine this
point.
The general condition of France he
"as prosperous in the ex-
treme. The crops this year are I'M
usually abundant especially the vine
[" crops, which give promise of equaling
" the famous vintage of 1865. The
working classes generally are well off:
(" commerce aourishes, and the only
-" cause Of universal dread ana anxiety
lis the black political shadow which
/" darEens the otherwise cloudless hori-
rzon."
Thus it has always been in that land
if the ambitious politicians and rulers
and military men had kept measurably
quiet and allowed the country to -four
ish, and the people to thrive in peace,
as they generally desired, france
would have been spared many q bloody
experience and many a political over

Leaning a Lever.
A VERY DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.

My sister Patricla was an hciress Strange enough, for we had always been terribly poor down at Lowbridge, my widowed mother bringing up her four daughters with the greatest difficulty |; but when brought up were worth look ing at, 1 believe. Healthy habits and frugal living are apt to make good con- ditions. and Bess, and Amy, and Patri- ea and l were as bright and handsome girls as are often seen.
 Bess and Amy were twins, with eyes as blue as the sea near which they were born, rosy cheeks, and long, light-brown eurls; Patrica was sparkling brunette, while l was as perfect blonde, with crinkled hair, like molten gold Great had been our excitement when Aunt Betty wrote from Fairhaven; DEAR SISTER LAW: l am going to do myself the pleasure of visiting you this SummeI hear that brother Abel left four girls, and 1 want to see them am getting on in wears, and will make one of them my heiress," etc.
 Aunt Betty, of Farhaven, was worth hundred thousand dollars if she was worth a cent.
 Well, in due time she came. She put up as the hotel for our cottage at Low bridge wasn't big enough to hold her, with her maid, coachman, and carriage i; but fortunately that was close by and she spent the larger half of three days with us.
 We all thought Bcss would be her choice, for father had nancd her Eliza beth for Aunt Betty, though she had al ways been "Bess" with us; but it was not either of the twins, and it was not l it was Patricia.
 "Where did that girl get her black hair 2" Aunt Betty asked, as soon as she saw her.
 II think she looks like my brother Luke, don't you ?' asked the mother, with wisltul look,
 "The very image of him." answered Aunt Belly, turning pale
 1 divined then, as learned afterward that Uncle Luke had been a lover of Aunt Betty's, when both were young, before her marriage, and the fact seemed to have power over her.
 She looked at Patricia until the girl blushed rosy-red, and would have slip ped out of the room, when she called her to her, and drawing her down upon her knees on footstool before her, she put a withered hand each side of the young cheek, and said, warmly:
 My dear, you shall be my heiress.
 So it was Patricia she chose to leave her money 10 but We were not left out in the cold, for she sent the twins who were only sixteen, to convent school for two years, and invited me, with Pa tricia, to the Hermitage
 It was her home--a stately old man sioA of gray stone, gloomy looking on

 "Clyde has an elder brother--Ray- mond -- just the one for Haricla,' unused. II wonder if it cuaa0t be brought about" ....
 But soon had my hands fufl- for, as all hours of the day and night Mr. Red mond can.s ;a the Hermitage And it was not long before my success as de- coy was patent to the most careless ob- server, He asked only for Miss Cert rude" He come solely to sec me.
 In three weeks the crisis burst upon me. He proposed;
 "I used to think Mir. Sherrington was your lover," he said, standing before me, the light on his frank, handsome face, :" but late observation has shown me that his visitR here are for your sister. Since you are free, then. will you not marry me? I can support you well, Gertrude, or I wonld not ask you to bind your future to mine. The death of my grandfather two years ago left me $50 900, beside some real estate, l have pleasant home on the Hudson--retired, but elegant--to which 1 would like to take you. What do you think, Cert rude. Could you be contented to leave your friends and live at Rose Cottage 1 with me?"
 My amazement allowed me to stammer nothing intelligible. In some indistinct | way temporiZed the matter, and begged | Mir. Redmond to give me some time for | reflection.
 He went away, making an appoint ment for the next evening.
 So tAunderstruck was by the revela- ton of MT. Redpopd's wealth ihat 1 wandered about the house in g dazeG way, not needing how mamma was fret | ting about Patricia, who had gone to ride with MT. Sherrington. "What is the matter, mamma? Is :h going to storm ?" said, at last.
 ITO storm? Nonsense Where are your eyes. Gertrude But it is nearly nine o'clock. Patricia has been gone seven hours with Mr. Sherrington, and l know something is wrong.' What 2" demanded, arousing my self.
 II don't know" Nine ten, eleven and twelve o'clock passed No carriage--no news. At noon the next day the buggy drove into the yard Patricia and Clyde Sher- rington alighted. Patricia coolly present ed her husblnl They had been married the evening before by our pastor at Low, bridge.
 "So nice and quiet" said Patricia, No fuss-no notoriety.' You needn't hesitate to take Gage now, Gertrude, he's dead in love with you, and, as like Clyde best, thought I'd decide the matter without eny com plications.'
 l think I was dumbfoanded, But I found my tongue when Mir. Redmond came that evening. and I said "Yes"

The Compensations of Poverty.

The prayer of Agur, "Give me neither poverty nor riches" has always seemed to me the best that could be offered To have enough--to be comfortahlsv-ana te feel that t is enough, and to be grate- ful for it, is the essence of happiness, Yet, what we would call modest com- petence, many would style atter poverty 80 entirely different are our optlooks in life; and those who dwell in marble halls" and possess elegant aqsipages, horses, wardrobeG and furniture, can hardly believe that those wRo have two story houses, plainly furnished, without even a stable, can know the enjoymenis that riches bring to them. But many of the people who now live in luxury were not lapped in ii in their youth, but were ttr,rnn and nurtpred in small houses, with little to spare to beautify their surround ings and yet the old home possesses a charm to taem that their own palatial house never could possess.
 And are they so much happfeE, now that they are surrounded by gorgeous upholstery, and ''siller hae to spare ?'' No indeed Poverty has its compensss tions and the enjoyment of being asla to make little go a great way has g real zest which the spending of ihous= ands could not produce. To be su.e you cannot walk with due dignity into a shop, and select whatever suits your taste. without giving a thought to it's price or being compelled to take cheap CT article, because your purse does not contain sufficient to allow you to PVT chase the more expensive one.
