reading in the Assembly. If the bill had not
been drawn by so competent legal authority
as District Attorney Phelps, objection might,
perhaps, be made even to the new term Oh
Imprisonment as being too light. NO doupt
due regard must be had for the proportion
which such penalty must bear toward Others
but five years imprisonment for desecra'ims
the grave is, abstractly considered, decidedly
inadequate.
The refusal of President MacNahon to sign
the decree relating to changes in the military
commands has intensely excited the excitable
capital of France. The gTavcst significance
is attributed to his refusal, to the very tone
in which he declared that he would
not disoreanize the army, to the iact
that he then hft the council chamber.
There are rumOrS everywhere OF his intention
to resign, and the political gossps are full OF
grave forebOdings of the disasters that would
follow the refinement of the stubborn soldier
President. The political squall of few DAYS
ago blew itself out so quickly that the
rest of mankind. outside of Paris, will
wait calmly for the issue of this new
cOmmoti0n. The vital fact is that the COM
promise of a week ago, by which the Minis
try consented to put Republicans in Office
and was rewarded with a vote of confidence
has broken down at point where
the resignation of either the President
or the Ministry may become necessary
Late DISPATCHES show that the former event
is considered so easily possible that candl-
dates for the Presidency are already under
discussion. But rumOrs and results are never
the same things in politics, and least OF all III
the vivacious politics of France.

Now that it has been very clearly shown by
Yesterday testimony before the Potter Com
mitiee that General Butler did not furnish
any Of the cipher dispatches TO The TRIBUNE.
il will be IN order for the Democratic press

Massachusetts, in consideration Of, etc, etc.
II j, encouraging to note that in a test vote
in the Senate yesterday upon the Warren
Mitchell war claim four Southern Democrats
-Mco.rs Hill. Coke, Ransom and Morgan
recorded themselves against it, II is not so
encouraging to remember that there are
twentv-thrcC Democratic Senators from the
South and that there will soon be more.
The Democratic majority In the House of
REPRESENTATIVES, which is the direct prOdnct OF
foreign immigration, is responsible for the
massage Of a law shutting out from this cOun-
try. IN Mr.. Townsend's phrase, "One-half Of
the human Iace." The Senate will probably
save the Democratic party from making Il
completely inconsistent record on the Chinese
question.
The commercial deputatiOn to Mexico has
had a hattering reception at the hands OF
President Diaz. The speeches Oh both sides,

to encourage trade with the United States

ATLANTA, April 4.-The weather
is quite cold here to-day, the ther-
mometer indicating 80. The peach,
pear and apple crops are ruined.
The vegetable crops are not Sc
riously damaged. The cold snap
does not extend all over the
State.
Angus jones, the mountaineer,
accused Of the murder two years
ago of Lieutenant Mcintyre, at the
head of his troops in the Georgia
mountains, will be taken from Jail
tomorrow for his preliminary ex>

created a great sensation in Geor-

working it sup ever since its occur
renee. Jones is a desperate man.
He de6ed the officers and eluded
arrest for long time.

A Deadener for the Fruit Prospects.
It was decidedly winterish in this
section yesterday morning; and it is
the opinion OF all who have made any
observations whatever, that the peach
and other early fruit crops are certain
ly cooked effectualy this time. The
mercury was as low as about 240 below
zero. There was an abundance of ice
in some places an inch in thickness,
and even thicker, aud the icicles from
mill races and such places hung all
day like real mid-winter.
Although there was scarcely any frost
visible, the invisible finger of King
Winter left its mark on all vegetation.
Aside from the injury 10 the fruit
crop, many early vegetables also felt
the blighting effsc's. The tempera-
ture was scarcely improved during the
entire day, up till after night, when it
clouded up and rather moderated, and
it is sincerely hoped the dose will not
be repeated this morning.

The Glass tree Of 10 was planted yes

quite a crowd of spectators present.
The Battalion was drawn up, forming
three sides Of atqIare, around the spot
where the tree was to be placed. The

done, Mr.. FL. Fl. Ingersoll, tie orator
of he day, was Introduced by Prof. E.

speech, well suited 10 tie time. After
this The Band gave one more piece and

Noa u " Gesperads."

Mr.. EDITOR: In a recent is.ue ot
the DAILY CHRONICLE, notice an
account of the fatal shooting, in Han.
cock county, of David Berry, which, in
some respects, [ know to be erroneous;
and l ask a small space in your col
unus in which to make what is only q
just correction.
David Berry was not notorious
desperate and mOonshiner," as repre-
sented but was addicted to drinking,
and, sometimes, when on drinking
spree, would visit Illicit still-houses for
the purpose of gratifying his appetite.
When under the influence Of liquor
he was easily insnlted, and at times
quite belligerenr, but was a peaceable,
goOd-natured man when sober.
He served honorably through the
war as private in Col. James Brown
lows regiment, during which
service he received wound disabling
him for life, and he was on the Lem
sion roll when he met his untimely
death.
Although he was a near relative Of
mine, | do not know enough about
the sad difficulty to justify his con-
duet, or to blame the parties who
caused his death, but [ write this in
order that his memory may not be
blackened by alleged crimes of which
he was innocent, and to tighten, to
this extent, the grief of his widow and
little orphan daughter.
Hoping this will be inserted in your
next issue. 1 am respectfully, etc,
Il. J. BERRY.

NEW YORK.

New YoRY, April 4.-Washing-
ton Nathan, son of Benjamin
Nathan, who was murdered in 23d
street some years ago, was shot yes
terday morning at Broadway Hotel
by Marion Ward, an actress. The
circumstances are, as far as known,
show that Miss Ward went to the
hotel on Wednesday night and reg
istered herself as Miss Zenlard, of
Philadelphia, and the next day
about ten o'clock sought Nathan
in the room of the actress Miss
Alice Harrison, upbraided him with
having dec lived her and shot him in
the neck, the ball entering be-
meath the lobe of the left ear and
passing around imbedding itself in
the heavy muscles of the right side.
The wound, though severe, will not
probably prove dangerous. Jeal-
ously was the instigating cause of
the attack.

or by voluntary subscriptions, such
as flowed into the Treasury in 1860
1t was threatened by gentlemen Of
that majority that if the President
should veto the bill they would ap
ply the thumb-screws the minority
in order to obtain a two-thirds ma
jority, and failing in that, that the
appropriations should fail. To
that programme the minority would
invariably vote "nay' to the end Of
the chapter.
Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia, next
spoke. He denied that the Presi-
dent had any right to the mode of
proceedings used by Congress, and
if he vetoed the pending measure
he must do so on its merits and not
on account of the method of, the
passage. These cee 4 he said,
took away from His Excellency the
right to preside with his troops at
the polls. Gentlemen on the other
side said that they would never
Weld. He would tell them that in
tee conflict between power and lib
erty, if power would not yield lib
erty was just as firm. 1t might be
said that he, Tucker, as Southern
man, was opposed to the army. He
denied it. He had never voted for
any bill which would impair its
efficiency, but he favored the army
as the servant and not as the mas
ter of the people. He believed the
Government of the United States to
be the best system of government
ever devised by the wit Of man, but
in the matter of the power of the
Government and the liberty of the
people he would put that power at
its minimum, and that liberty at its
consistent with the safety
of society. He would have law on
the judgment seat, meaning the civic
crown and ermine and gently, and
with an unveiled hand leading for
the liberty as his welded wife. He
would have the army ard the navy
to be the willing servants
of liberty to expel on
her call all invaders upon her sacred
precinct, or put do En the despotism
of licentious mobs. If his aspira-
tions and hopes, his desires and
views, could be realized, feeling as
he did that the sere and yellow leaf
was approaching, that the evening
of his life was coming to its close,
he might then, with humble reyer
ence, repeat the prayer, CHOW, oh
Lord, lettest Thou Thy servant de-
part in phace, for mine eyes hath
seen the salvation of my peoples
and seen restored the grand
and noble system of the Constitu-
ton of our forefathers."
During the course of his speech
Mr.. Tucker was frequently inter-
rupted with applause, and at its
conclusion was warmly congratu-
lated.
Mr.. Garfield closed the Republi~
can side Of the debate.
The vete will be taken tomorrow,
after which the conflict will be
to the Senate.

full to repletion, and deposited TWENTY
five cents. do not know whether this
was the same lady of New York that
paid $4,000 for six and half Yards OF
lace. Qneen Victoria never did anything
so foolish as that with all her regal splen-
dor.
But there is another side to this cues
ton of expenditure. The expenditure
of money often gives the poor work, and
in this way is help to business. Frank
Inns wife, feeling herself under some
obligations to man from Cape May,
who had done a piece OF work for her,
and would not receive any compensation
for it, sent his daughter a new style of
cap. Some time afterward the man said
to her, " That cap has cost our people
three hundred dollars. All the young
ladies admired it, and they must have
caps like it." But let me tell the other
side of the story. All the girls about
Cape May knit warm mittens for the
workingmen of Philadelphia, and it re-
viVed trade that was good for many
years afterward. When men have mon
ey, let them employ it so that others
will enjoy it as much as possible, and not
hoard it up to crafty the lust of the eye.
What strange notions people have in re-
gard to this mere style 1t begins with
the little child. A little child was anx-
ious about what she should wear Sin
Heaven whether she should wear her
MORE, antique, and upon being told that
all who went to heaven would be clothed
and beautifed by the Father in some
other form, she wanted to know how the
angels would know that she belonged to
good society on earth. 1t is no harm
for young woman to dress well if she
can honestly pay for what she uses; but
the temptations of life in this city have
been SO great that 1 have heard of fail
ure after failure, not only in this city,
but in other cities, that have been
brought about by the extravaganza of
women. Many men of business could
not support such extravaganza, and when
the hard times overlook them, they went
under the great current. Is it right, is
it Christian, to continue such extrava>
gance which leads to such deplorsble
results ?-[ DR.. B. L. Agnew.

The Use of Wealth.

The Lord never said to you, aye
shall not make money" 1t is your SOL
emn duty to make money, but not hoard
it up like miser, nor to spend to the
winds like a spendthrift. You may
learn Lesson from the beetle that skins
over the water it has two pairs of eyes,
one pair under the water, and one above
it, so he can see above and below the
water. You may learn the lesson that
whilst you are living on this land of
pleasure and business, you are to have
your eye of faith fixed on Heaven, and
the joys above, whilst your other eyes
are fixed on your business and the prop
er pursuit thereof. The lust of the eye
is condemned in the word OF God, but
it is not wrong to admire the beautiful.
Do you suppose il it was wrong to admire
the beautiful, God would have made the
rainbow? That he would have made
those ten thousand flowers over the
mountains that blossom in beauty and
send forth their fragrance on every pass
ing breeze? All the beautiful things
are right in their place, and it is right
for US to enjoy those things, but this is
a different thing from the lust of the
eyes. What desire men have for dis
play; but when their desires are graft
fed they are not happy. Baron Roths-
child. when he died, was worth $780,
10000. He. was asked if he was hap
Ply. He said, Me happy Die happy r'
and he shook his head. He lived and
died without being happy. Oh, how
much more happy he would have been
if he had initiated our Girard or our
Peabody, who gave their money while
living for the poor and needy, in the ed
ucation of the orphan and the lifting up
of humanity

Diamonds Unearthed.

| The soul that is earnest will not stop
to count the cost.
1t is in ones power to be successful,
if a man or woman is fit for work.
To be popular is to be endorsed in the
to-day and be forgotten in the to-mor-
row.
As well attempt to seal up the crater
of Vesuvius as to hide the God-giving
power of the soul.
Faith is reasons telescope, pointed
toward the worlds that shine beyond
he natural sight it is the bloom of the
heart toward God.
Generosity during life is very diff.
ferent thing from generosity in the;hour
of death. One proceeds from genaine
iberality and benevolence, the other
from pride or fear.
Genius that succumbs to misfortune,
that allows itself to be blotted by the
slime of SANDER, and the other serpents
that infest society, is so much the less
genius, for neglect is but the fat to an
undying future.
If our weak, puny hands could reach
up and rend the sun from his throne to-
day, then were the same but little thing
to do. It's the Far-Of, the great Un-
sttainable, that feeds the passion we
have for star.
The cold chain of life presseth heavily
upon some poor weary souls, and the sins
of untrue hearts clog up the air psssa-
ges of the world; but some time the
golden gate shall be Embossed and the
iron bands broken down.
There are acts that need no poet to
make poems of them, for they will live
through ages and ages, on to eternity.
And when God opens the sealed book,
on the day of judgment, these poems
OF the history of lives will be traced in
letters of red and gold beneath the Mas
ter's autograph.

How to Pay a Compliment
Bost ton Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
To pay a compliment is to tell the
truth, and to tell it as though you meant
it. And the only way to do that is to
mean it. If girl is pretty or accom-
plished; if she plays well, or sings well,
or dances well, or talks well; if, in a
word, she pleases, why, in the name OIL
common sense, shouldn't she be told of
it? Don't blurt it out before everybody.
That will only serve to make her feel
uncomfortable and make you appear
ridiculous. Say it quietly when oppor-
tunity offers, but say it strongly. Con-
vey the idea distinctly and fully, so that
there may be no mistake about it. But
don't say it Officially" Formally is
about the coolest thing known. More
than one maiden has been made happy
say for half an hour-by mans taking
the trouble to say pleasant thing about
toilet that he liked, and many Of
fashions follies have been given up by
girls when they noticed discreet silence
concerning them on the part of their
gentlemen friends. A bewitching little
black-eyed beauty once said to a gentle
man: 81 like TO have you say sweet
things to me, it seems to come so easy
and natural" In general terms, it may
be said that it is always better to say an
agreeable thing than disagreeable one,
better for all parties. The gallant who,
when a young lady stepped on his foot
while dancing and asked pardon, said,
Don't mention it; dainty little foot
like that wouldn't hurt daisy" not
only told the truth, but doubtless felt
more comfortable that the boor who,
when his foot was stepped on, roared out,
That's right; climb all over me with
your great, clumsy hoofs,"
