School Lunches in Paris.

9 basket, which was not the case in the
morning. This article is too long
for mere lunch, and, as their books are
carried in straps, it is evidently not for
this use. To-day, in my noon rambles,

men, with these baskets on their arms.
AS my age invariably demands respect,

said twill you please tell me what this

Instantly she replied; 30, yes! this is
ol-house, one of he best IN the city.
No parent is allowed to visit it. The
children are not dismissed till night and
are not allowed to take anything eatable
with them in the morning. After few
minutes, you will see them marched into

in turn to this door to receive his basket,
and each girl to the other for similar
purpose"

the reporter entered room on the ground
floor Of two story brick building. On
crib lay a. boy apparently about thirteen

distilled spirits. Several members Of
the committee reserve the right to op-
pose the measure in the senate.
The house joint resolution to prescribe
the time for the payment Of tax on dis
titled spirits passed as it came from the
house.
Senator Christisncy, from the commit
tee on judiciary, said he was directed by
the majority Of the committee to report
back the bill to repeal the bankrupt law.
He said an honest effort had been made
in the committee for some time past to
so amend the law thst it would be salts
factory to the public, but there was such
q conflict Of opinion that 1t was impossi'
bic to agree upon the amendments.
Several members Of the committee who
did not favor repeal consented that the
bill should be reported without recon-.
m~endation. Placed on the calendar.
HoUsE.--Mr. Atkins, chairman Of the
committee Of appropriations, reported

LONDON, March 26,-The inal answer
from ST. Petersburg to England's inquiry
whether the entire treaty Of San Stefano
will be submitted to the congress is anx'
iously awaited. The Times expresses
the opinion hat the more prudent Rus
sian statesmen, aud even the cza him
sell, ought to be ready to smooth the way
Tor the assemblagc OF the congress. The
contention Of our government is justified
in substance by Europe, aud though the
remaining objection is not n which
ought to be fatal, it is by Russia rather
than us hat that objection ought in
strict Justice to he removed,
The prepondersting opinions at the
capitals Of the great powers seem to be
that Russia will sefuse, and that this
will reuder the situation very critical,
in consequence of the presence of the
British feet inthe sea OF Marmora, and
the position Of the Russians about Con-
stsntiusple, but that If no unforeseen
incident or complication arises from
these circumstances, war may be avoid
ed, aud after a period of suspense, dam
aging to all the powers, q fresh proposal
for conference or congress will be
brought forward under different forms
with the hope of success. The position
Of Austria is a source Of much anxious
curiosity. Semi official organs have de-
clsred the treaty OF San Steisno utterly
unacceptable, bat the fact is equally Ger.
tain that Austria does not support En-
glands demand concerning the form of
its submission to the congress. Various
explanations Of the latter feature Of
Austria's policy are given.
Another Vienna correspondent says:
This government seems to be Of opinion
that the differences remaining between
England and Russia are those of form
rather than of principle, and ought not
to be bar to the meeting of congress"
Sir Henry Elliot, British ambassador,
had a long interview with Count An.
drassy on Sunday, by appointment, aud
in all probability there was an exchange
Of ideas on this subject OF paramount
Importance. There is no doubt Russia
is making a strong effort to avert the
possibility of an Anglo-Austrian alliance
before giving England a final answer.

WASHINGTON, March 26-A number
Of members Of congress, friends Of the
President, called upen him this morning
with reference to a speech Of Senator
Howe. They all expressed more feeling
10 the matter than the President him
self, and suggested that the speech be
answered, fearing that to permit it to
pass in silence might be an admission Of
its entire truth. The President took a
t'Fcrent view, placing himself on the
slound that what be had done in the way
Of official action was based on his sense
Of right without thinking for a moment
what might be the results affecting him
personally. He wal opposed to a public
response, prelerring that his acts should
be the best interpreter Of his motives and
principles. BE had sought 10 perform
his duty, and with this be was content,
no matter how others, with prejudiced
minds, might view his conduct. All
would recollect, be said, how bitterly
Senator Howe had denounced President
Lincoln toward the close Of his FIRST term,
and how others sought to prevent Mr..
Lincoln from being nominated for a sec
ond term, but, Notwithstanding all this
he was renomiuated and became more
popular than ever, the people having be.
