The Order to Remove tile Troops from
the State House In Louisiana.
EXECUTIVE MANsIoN,
WAsHINaToN, D. c., April 90.


SIR-Prior to my entering upon the
duties of the Presidency there had been
stationed, by the order Of my predecessor,
in the immediate vicinity of the building
used as o State House in New Orleans,
La., and known rs the Mechanics Insti.
tnte, n detachment of United States in
fantry. Finding them iii chat place l
have thought propfr TO delay decision
of the question of their removal until I
could determine whether the condition of
affairs was such rs to either require or
justify continued military intervention of
the national government in the affairs Of
the State. IN my opinion there does not
now exist in Louisiana such domestic
violence rs is contemplated by the consti-
tuition as the ground upon which the
military power Of the national govern
ment may be invoked for the defense of
the State. The disputes which exist us
20 the right of certain claimants to the
chief executive Office of that State are to
be settled and determined not by the
Executive of the United States, but by
such orderly and peaceful methods as
may be provided by the constitution and
laws of the State. Having the assurance
TINT no resort to violence is contemplated,
that, on the contrary, the disputes in
IVuCottOh aiAO W uC SSttleu ny PEACEFUL
methods, under and in accordance with
law, / deem it proper to take action in
accordance with the principles announced
whena 1 entered upon the duties of the
Presidency. You are, therefore, directed
to see that the proper orders are Issued
for the removal Of said troops at an early
date from the nreaent nosition to such
regular barracks in the vicinity as may
be selected for their occupation.

The influence of man upon eli
mate has been a favOrite subject of
late years, and it is row well known
that by cutting down forests and
draining the soil man can mate
rally change the climate of a coun.
try. Some recent experiments con-
Quoted in Germany confirm this
belief by showing the extent to
which woods will affect the raiAfall.
Two obseryatories were established
for the purpose of comparison
one over Il clump of pine trees forty
feet high, and the other over a bare
sandy plain about $50 yards from
the wood. Both observatories were
built at TIE same height from the
ground. Twelve months observa-
tion showed that of the total rain
fall within that period ten per cent.
more rain fell over the trees than
over the bare land, distant $50
yards from them. Further, the air
over the wood was found during
the whole year of observation to be
charged with aqueous vapor to the
extent of ten per cent. in excess of
the air over the barren open soil
The ground, too, under the trees
retained far more water than the
exposed earth, the evaporation from
the surface, thanks to its shade Of
trees and moss, being only one-sixth
Of that outside their friendly shell
ter. These results are valuable in
that they point out possible means
Of improving the condition Of ster-
lie tracts, i.e., by the planting Of
trees.

Difference Bstween sincerity and
Rudene8N.

If you do not take care, you will
fall into one OF the most disagree
able errors in the world-which is
that Of mistaking rudeness of man
ner for sincerity of character; one
the most valuable quality, the other
the most disagreeable that can be
imagined. Everything in the hu-
man character is beautiful or not,
according to its usefulness. Sin
cerity of character may be learned
only by sorrow and adyersity, in
their most bitter moments; it is
the personification of truth; it can
lead to no disappointment, because
1t holds out no false lights to be-
tray-gives no promise it does not
mean to fulfill.e But what is the
purpose answered, or the end to be
attained, by saying rude things?

MEMPHIS TENN FRIDAY EVENING APRIL 2O 1871

lll-As-------k----nllunz
attended after my return than l
found among the hundreds of
women whom ! had seen in Eng
land.
The types are the same in both
countries; but they seem to come
near to perfection much oftener
here than there. Beauty of fea-
ture is, however, sometimes more
clearly defined in England than
here. The mouth in particular
when it is beautiful is more statu-
esque. The curves are more de-
cidcd, and at the junction of the
red Of the lips with the white there
is a delicately raised outline which
marks the form of the feature in a
very noble way. This may also be
said of the nostril. 1t gives a CHS
eled effect to those features which
is not SO often found in America"
but the nose itself, the brew, aud
the set and carriage of the head are
! generally finer among "Americans."
In both countries, however, the
head is apt to be too large for per-
feet proportion. This is a charac-
teristic defect of the English type
of beauty. Its effect is seen in
Stothard'S figures, in Etty's, and in
those of other English painters.
Another defect is in the heaviness
of the articulations. Really fine
arms are rare; but fine wrists are
still rarer. Such wrists as the
VlennOise women haye-of which
| saw wonderful example in the
Viennoise wife of a Sussex gentle
man-are almost unknown among
women Of English race in either
country. 1t is often said, even in
England, that american" wo-
men have more beautiful feet
than English women have. This
am inclined to doubt. The
feet may be smaller here; and they
generally look smaller because Eng
lish women wear larger and heavier
shoes. They are obliged to do so
because they walk more, and be-
cause Of their moister climate. But
mere smallness is not beauty in a
foot more than in any other part of
the body. Beauty is the result of
shape, proportion and color; and
feet are often cramped out of shape
aud out of proportion in other
countries than China. A foot to
be beautiful should seem fit for
the body which it supports to stand
upon and walk with. 1t is said by
some persons, who by saying it pro-
fess to know, that nature, prodigal
of charms to English women in
bust, shoulders and arms, is chary
of them elsewhere, and that their
beauty of figure Is apt to stop at
the waist. Upon this point l do
not venture to give au opinion /; but
| am inclined to doubt the judg-
ment in question upon general ply
siological principles. The human
figure is the development of a germ;
and it is not natural that, whatever
may be the case witch individuals,
the type of a whole race in one
country should present this incon-
sistency. Possibly til ose who started
this notion were unfortunate in
their occasions of observation and
comparison.
