faction q fair showing. Governor
Seymour has not yet been requested to
undertake tho task, but it is thought
he will not refuse. lie could easily
carry New York, himself, for the
Presidency, but he absolutely refuses
to rc-entcr active politics. If some
compromise be not effected, New

ton in the Presidential Convention of
next year, and defeat will be assured.
Democrats everywhere will rejoice to
sec the people Of New York coming to
their senses.

giving high praise to Judge Kcrshaw,
but nominating him for Chief Justice,
and asserting the peculiar fitness Of
General Gary for the govcrnorship.
Tho Register replies to the latter
correspondent in long but well
written article. After holding, as VIC

Sunday.Night Receptions in New York.

One of the recent developments of
the city on the social side are quiet re-
ceptions by people of literary, dramatic,
and artistic taste on Sunday evenings.
Cultivated people who are engaged in
their pursuits but are cut off by their
professional engagements from the en-
joyment of social meetings during the
working days of the week, long for the
gatherings in the parlors of their friends
from which their duties exclude them.
The social longings of many artists have
been gratified in a measure for several
years by the holding ofregular afternoon
receptions on particular days of the
week at the homes of several of the
most cultivated people of the city.
These receptions are generally made at
tractive, not only by the presence of
many of the best ladies of the city, but
also by the presence of distinguished
singers and musicians, and there is al
ways a great deal of music at them.
The parlors of the people who give these
charming receptions are havens of rest
to professional people. But the after
noon gathering does not fully satisfy
the demand for this sort of thing, and
the Sunday evening receptions have
been initiated, and are rapidly becom-
ing popular. They are very quiet. There
is no rush of carriages to the door, as at
a kettledrum or afternoon receptions on
week days. Those who have them leave
them behind. The company gathers
without ostentation, and enjoys an even
ing of sober, but delightful sociability.
There is often music. The receptions
are frequented by persons like Mrs.
Florence Rice Knox, Remenyl, and 9th.
er persons of fame, and there is a grea,
rush of those who have the privilege OF
attending to meet and lionize the emf
nent artist who is the guest of the even
ing. There are not many houses in
town open on Sunday evening, but
there are a few, and of good position in
society, and the literary and art world
here could not do without them. Happy
is the hostess who can get these people
to like to come toi her drawing-room.-

James Mcdonnell and Charles Sharpe,
two of the Mollie Maguires, convicted of the
murder of George X. Smith, were hanged at

rtes after the execution had taken place,
Assenger arrived with q telegraphic
dispatch from Gov. Hartranft, granting a
few days reprieve to the culprits on account
of the intercession of the friends and counsel
of the prisoners. 1t is said, however, that
there was no hope Of obtaining a final stay

Henry Vincent, the well known

The oldest newspaper in the United
States is the Annapolis (Md.) Gazette.
Its first number was issued in January,
1745.
"A new opera by Offenbach, "Mad-
anne Favart," was produced on Dec. 90

larity any of his previous works.

elder, having been graduated, is prac-
ticing her profession at the Freedmen's
Hospital, in Washington.
1t is rumored that NJ. Gustave Dore

with his snow-white beard and mus

rather than the proper ornament of old
age.
Miss Harriet Hosmer is compli-
mented by the World of London as the
greatest of the few female sculptors the
world has ever seen, and one of the very
few among those who have produced
strong work, and not mere prettinesses.
Won Bulow says that music can be

Mr.. Henry C. North, who wrote the
song "My Grandfather's Clock" is re-
ported as saying: az have written a

things 1 have ever written have had a
very limited sale, and few songs on
which l have spent the most time have

In the course of recent lecture on
"The Abuse of Books" Mr.. Frederick
Harrison, the eminent essayist, said that
he was inclined to think the most useful
part of reading was to know what to
avoid. The enormous multiplication OF
books is not favorable to the reading OF
the best. There never was a time dur.
ing the last three hundred years when
the difficulties in the way of making ar
efficient use of books were greater than
to-day.

French Petty Employees.

There is a peculiarly French class, the
army of small Government employees,
who discharge their infinitely insigniti-
cant, but infinitely diversified functions
throughout the land, on salaries which
stretch between f32 and the vast, en-
We'd and rare immensity of EGO. OF
the 600, 900 civil servants required by
the complicated and inquisitorial ad-
ministration of France, one half, at
least, are obliged by their occupations
to inhabit the villages. The gGrdes
chan,petreS, the forest-keepers, the vari-
GUS foremen of the national, depart
mental and communal roads, the multi
form agents of the tax-collectors, the
overlookers of navigation on the rivers
and canals, the inspectors, surveyors
and overseers of every possible process,
thing or deed that can any how be in
spected, surveyed or overseen, and
crowds of other diminutive officials,
with line of gold or silver braid on
their kepis, are all, by the essentially
local nature of their calling, dwellers in
the country. How they manage to
lodge, nourish, clothe and educate their
families on an average pay of about EGO
year is mystery worthy to be class
ed among the enigmas of life; but
they do it, and, furthermore, they
constitute a society. In certain
villages, indeed, their group COM
poses a recognized aristocracy;
they are the great world of the place;
they possess the advantages of rank;
the Sunday bonnets of their wives and
daughters arouse emotion among cap
wearing spectators. And all this is paid
for by about 25 shillings week! Very
wonderful. But the people of this curl
Gus category are rendered more remark
able still by a popularity which is prop
er to themselves, which saturates and
permeates them by an unimaginable
servility to their superiors, and by an
equally unimaginable arrogance to
every body else. They cringe and they
bully with skill which is the most pro-
ductive and the most evident of their
professional endowments, and which
sets the beholder wondering what hid
den grace there can be in the service of
the French Government to develop so
wonderful capacity of alternate obse-
quiousness and insolence in its lower re-
tainers. 1t is al over France; it sprouts
in every wearer of a gold lace cap; but
it is more striking in the country than
in the towns, for the double reason that
there is more space for it in the former
than in the latter, and that people have
more time to contemplate it.-FfGzer's
Magazine.
