We would say, in order to save time and
trouble for the office and its correspondents,
that this department of the Ho1Eeye
does want q few good correspondents
in Paris this summer to keep us
posted in Exposition matters. We will
pay the expenses OF the correspondent
to and from Paris, pay bis board in the
city during the summer, furnish him with
free season.p passes for self and friends to
the Exposition, and pay salary Of thirty
eight dollars a week. We want about
six such correspondents. Application
must be made in person, as no atten-
tion will DO paid to letters. Office hours
from 2:30 a. NJ. to 3:45 p. N. No Eng
iish, Irish, Turks, Americans, Germans,
Negroes, Russians, Canadians, MeXicans,
Africans, Chinese, Tartars, Austrians,
Prussians, Italians, Swedes, French, Can
nibals. Danes, Scotch. Fenians, South Amer
leans, or Greeks need apply.-Haaoteye.
Thus the Free Press Phoenix crows from
among its ashes:
"There were two bushels Of spring
poetry-exactly two bushels. 1t was
carefully measured up by the peck not
twenty hours previous to the fire, in
order to be stored away in bank
vault out OF harms way. There were
some beautiful odes among them-some ap-
pea!ing to charity, gratitude, and the various
other pigeon-holes OF the human heart, some
giving the weather bad racket, some flow
cry, some sad, but all worth ut least dollar
I line. The Free Press was going to store them
away until it had an income Of million
dollars per year and was able to SEND q
check for hundred dollars or SO TO each
writer. And now all are gone-gone up
the spout, down the spout-cremated ana
pulped."
We learn from several Trustworthy cor
respondents from the interior OF this State
that the people in their respective counties
have not as vet received their share OF the is
s,Ie of new silver dollars. This is altogether
fhe fault OF the Secretary OF the Treasury,
who was pronounced opponent OF the silver
hin. and is doing all he can to shake public
confidence in its practical working. II our
correspondents viii write directly to Secre-
tary Sherman and threaten to expose his
wicked neglect OF duty he will be obliged,
under the provisions OF the bill, to send
them each 1866 in new silver dollars.-Bur-
lirgtoa Hasskeye. III,
Foxes and lawyers gave SO long been as
sociated in the public mind that every law
yer is supposed to be the incarnation OF
that unseyupnlous animal. There never
was greater error. Except, perhaps, the
editorial, there is no profession that con.
tains more dull asses than are to be found
among the men who live by the law. A
pompous manner and heavy voice. with a
few other equally tremendous accomplish
rmentg. have great effect on the vulgar,
and when added TO the title Of attorney at
law they may sway a village city, or even
nation. Reynard would fed very much
hurt TO hear himself compared to this legal
beast. - l0Hrier-ei Journal.
The large number OF people who own the
snuf-box that once belonged to Thomas
Jefferson viii learn with sorrow that
Thomas never carried q snuff box.--Detroa
Free Press. But each one Of these snuff
boxes Is the identical one that Jefferson
would have owned had he carried snuf-
box, and this fact should tone down the dis.
appointment Of the present owners. Nor
