Quaker or Cavalier,

10 his sermon last Sunday Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, said:
II admire the spirit Of Fox and the others
who deter mined to dress in the plain Quaker style
and use plain speech in order to rebuke the ex.
trsvsgance of the court and age in which they
lived.
II should not wonder if would have been
Quaker myself had lived then-thst is, if not
q cavalier. But when the time passed for the
use of plain dress. when it had subserved its
purpose, why not have put it by and with it the
speech that sacr, fees the English grammar at
almost every other word? Now, I am not an
Apollo; l would like to be handsomer than
am, but was not consulted. Yet, will try to
60 blithsly through life for all that, and not
like that lean, cadaverous, bilious creature who
would as soon be taken for Christian as an
owl for q canary bird. Cheer up, Soberside.,.
there is hope for you yet if you don't laugh
now you will after death. The world needs
more kisses and less cutting; it needs more
Christianity whose background is not HE'LL.

France.

Republican journals state that at an inter.
view between President Machlahon and the
Duke d'Audifffet Pasquier, President Of the
Senate, the Marshal stated that Cabinet was
formed and there could be no question OF COM
promise or Cancellation.
A corrected account CT the Duke d Audiffret
Pasouire's interview with President MacMahon
shows that the latter said that not having sue
ceeded 10 formiug Cabinet acceptable to ma.
jority Of the Chamber, he would constitute one
to suit majority of the Senate

resign rather than reOcw negotiations with Al.

from extreme measures. liz was 10 despair at
the rejection OF the appeal. and trembed to

The Paris TEMPS says the Constitutionalists
are much irrtated at President Mac Mahon's
rejection of their appeal. Ii is asserted that
the new Ministry will not Intervene 10 debates
10 the Chamber. but will demand its dissolution
at the end OF the month. Although it is re-
ported that the new Ministry is constituted, it
is not expected that it will be gazetted to IL Or

maud of the second dissolution. From report
published n the Soir on Sunday evening con
cerniug meeting Of this faction of the Sena.
toriaI body held at NJ. Batbie's request, it is
exceedingly doubtful if they will be induced to
favor the desperate adventure. They will Ger

Marshal MacMahon is greatly excited, and
there is 20 telling what will be the noal result.

Withdrawing from the contest for U. s. Senator

says, "oow / ind, when Governor Kellogg pre-
sents claim essentially like my own, but weak
or, that the gentlemen who so earnestly CON-
batted my claim promptly and without hesta-
ton admit aud defend his" The great mistake

at the time he did, The radicals had 30 large
a majority then that 10 contested election case,
they could afford to recognize and act upon the
principle that honesty is the best policy, but
since then their majority has been reduced so
much that it is DOW barely decisive, and the

famous Seventh has some of them along. The

four days wagons and squads of cavalry have
been over every day from Fort Lincoln packing
up loads Of soldiers, who we're "full."
Five companies of the Seventeenth Infantry
arrived this afternoon from Standing Rock en-
route to Fort Totten, Tissiton, Pembina aud

of this ore is one of the results of the

we hope. for the benefit of the commu-

some time past, considerable ore has
been shipped out of this county which
