General Butler never loses an opportunity to avow his .detestation of newspapers but some. evidence has just come to hand which shows that he is patron of newspaper publi- cation offices when the United States pay the bills Tn the report of the clerk of the House of Representatives giving the expenditures frnna the contingent fund in the first session ot the Fortieth Congress there are two charges of @5O for newspapers for laaneral Butler. The same fund paid $50 to supply the same gentle- man with newspapers during the sccond scs- sion. Perhaps the General finds life sO joy so,ls that he reads ten or twelve newspapers day as sort of penitential punishment.

An election of very great importance was held in France last Sunday. Already the re- publican party control the lower house of the national assembly, but it lacks eight or ten votes of a majority in the senate. It is exceed ingly desirable, that full majority in the sen ate. It is exceedingly desirable that full majority be gained there, for this will.not only ensure concurrence with the deputies in all leg islation, but it will protect the house against a summary dissolution and new election, such as was precipitated last year by clerical in- trigue; for the approval of the senate must be gained before dissolution can be ordered Moreover, republican senate renders still more permanent the republican ascendancy in the cabinet, thus guaranteeing free, peace ful, fair election for president eighteen months hence The elections of last Sunday will per ceptibly change the character of the senate. By the. constitution, senenty-five of the three hundred senators are elected by the house of deputies, and hold office for life. There are now five vacancies caused by the death of en- emies of the republic, and sure to be filled by friends, The remaining senators are chosen, seventy-five every two years, for terms of six years. The terms of one set expire next Jan uary and among those going our of office only nineteen are republicans, sixteen are Bonapart- ists, and forty are monarchists. Their success sors are chosen by queerly composed electoral colleges, most of the members of which were chosen, Sunday, by local elections. It will take but gain of five by the republicans to wipe out the ten majority against them. But it is now admitted that the gain, including both life members and those who will be chosen by the newly elected councils will be something like twenty, which will give the republicans a clear working majority of thirty in the senate. The result is particularly gratifying, and gives greater stability to the existing form of govern ment in France than they have known for years.

KEEPING ONR's CLOTHES IN THE MAuRITIUs. If any one asked me what was the serious occupation ofmy life here, I should answer without hesitation, ''airing my clothes" and it would be absolutely true. No one who has not seen it can imaging the damp and mildew which covers everything if it be shut up even for few days Ammonia in the box or draw CT keeps the gloves from being spotted like the pard, but nothing seems to avail with the other articles of clothing. Linen feels quite wet if it is left unused in the 0ls5ru6, or chest of drawers, for week. Silk dresses break out into measle-like rash of yellow spots. Cptton or muslin gowns become liyid, and take unto themselves a horrible charnel- house odor.

The Democratic doctrine at present
appears to be that the election OF Il
President through the instrumcntality
Of an Electoral Commission is uncOn-
slltutional, but that the title OF a Prcsi-
dent elected in that manncy, aud by
means Of fraudulent counts anli false
returns, is peculiarly good, unassaiIa-
bic, and sacred. The blatant Mr.. Ste
phcns, Of Georgia, and some other
shrili and shallow shrickers assert that
Hayes title is better than W asling
