Nahon has been anxious

-"Mac-Mahon has been anxious
of late to prove himself of royal
descent, because, so the Republicans
say. he wants to drop into Louis
NapOleon's seat. Accordingly, he
has written to Sir Bernard Burke,
Ulster King Of Arms, to find him
some royal Irish ancestor, and Sir
Bernard does the job thoroughly.
Jean Baptiste Mac-Mahon, the
Marshals ancestor, who came over
to France an Outcast and, by a lucky
marriage, became SeigneuG of Egnil-
~. is, Sir Bernard says, a dcscen-
dant Of Mahon, second son Of Nor
toeh O'Brien, King Of Ireland: who
died at Lismore in 1l19, and was
Sgrand-son of the great Brian Bor-
oimhe, killed in 1914 while defeating
the Danes at Clontarf. Thus does
the Marshal happily meet the char
&c Of the Republican papers that
his grandfather was a mere adven-
turer."
But if the titles of O'Brien are
good for Ireland, they are thorough
IL insufficient for France.
The fine establishment Of Mrs.
NJ. Israel 4 Co. has been greatly
improved recently by the enlarge
ment OF the main department, where
the dry goods are displayed,a and the
placing of the cashiers and book
keeper's desks in the centre of the
room. The arrangement is metropo-
Titan, convenient and looks well.
Mrs. Israel & co. have by far the
most spacious store buildingin town,
but even the recent extension OF its
capacity fails to give them sufficient
space for the proper reception and
display of the mammoth stock which
is being purchased in the Eastern

PLANTERS AND LABORERS.

Before the war, in the gloomy
times of slavery-for slavery was
good to nobohy-the planter was i'll
some way responsible for the beva-
viour of his slaves.
He was the owner.
Now, since we are all free and
having the full management OF our
souls and bodies, evety one is Ger
taiuly responsible for his own ac-
tons, whatever they may be, and l
cannot, in no way and By no law,
answer for the actions of my ser
want, my laborer or my neighbour.
Chacun pour sol ct Dteu pour tous,
as the Acadian says.
In fact, my servant is as free as
myself, and often more SO. He may
90 where he pleases, work with
whom he likes and also vote for him
self. His conscience is beyond my
reach, my command and my power.
His rights are equal to mine.
And this is just.
Every man must freely enjoy the
possession of himself, body and
soul.
But if I am not responsible for
others, if l may use the services OF
those who suit me, and if the labor
er, white or colored, American or
Chinese may exchange his services
for an alnountof money agreed upon,
/ am in duty bound to be just and
fair towards my employees, as well
as the employees themselves arc in
duty bound to be fair and just to
myself.
This is a moral law.
And if this moral law Of recipro-
cation is disregarded by one OF the
parties, let the written law be lnvok-
ed and enforced.
But we must say, in justice to all,
that the relations between planters
and laborers are COMMONLY fair and
lust. We also know that judges, in
cases of litigation, that are very
few, are naturally inclined to favor
the employee himself, when equity
has nothing to suffer from such g
favor.
But We intend to say something
else, being confident that We shall
meet no contradiction.
That something else, in our sim
pie rural language, is merely this
