Paul de n Ock,


Paul de Kock had bad name for i'm
mortality, and, doubtless, in measure,
he deserved it. 1t is certain that if an
expurgated edition of his voluminous
works were collected for English family
reading, it would shrink into compare
lively modest proportions. But Paul,
with all his faults and freedoms, did
very little harm, and certainly he afford
ed a great deal of amusement. He was
guilty of none of those insidious attacks
on morality which have been the spe-
cialite of some of his most notorious sue
cessors. He never tasked the resources
of depraved imagination in refining on
those sins which scandalize even sinners.
He never wrapped up in fervid and
graceful language those subtle and foul
suggestions that work in the system like
slow poison. He was really the honest
bourgeois which NJ. Zola gives himself
out to be. He boldly advertised his
wares for what they were, and manufac-
tured and multiplied them according to
sample. He sold somewhat coarse and
strong-favored article, but at least he
guaranteed IL lIOlH unsupported auulleT-
alton. He painted the old Paris of the
bourgeoisie and the students Just as it
was. If there was anything in the pic,
lures to scandalize one, so much the
worse for Paris, and honi soft qui NAL v
volt. The young and sprightly wives OF
elderly husband. immersed in their COM
merce, the susceptible daughters of off
GERS and renters in retreat, were not so
particular in their conduct as they
might be.
The students and gay young men
about town were decidedly loose in their
walk and conversation; aud the grisettes
keeping house in their garrets, away
from their maternal eye, behaved accord
ing to their tastes and kind. Paul never
stopped to pick his own phrases, and he
frankly called spade a spade. In short
he took his society as he saw it under
his eye, dwelt for choice on the lighter
and SUMMER side, and laughed and ioked
through the life he enjoyed so heartily.
In all his rks you see the signs of his
jovial temper and admirable digestion.

WE CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT.

While the citizens of America have
cause to congratulate themselves and
each other that their favored country
can produce statesmen and turnips and
orators and onions and unrivaled oysters
and quadrennial crops of Presidential
candidates and little neck clans and
nutmegs, and Mark Twain and Pullman
palace cars and ballot-box suffers, and
almost every other conceivable luxury
that the cultured taste of a doubly re-
fined civilization demands, America is
still desolatc for the want of an obelisk-
Cleopatra's Needle.
The nation has half interest in Nj
agara Falls and the hackmen that en-
viron it; the Cardiff Giant, Mammoth
Cave, Blind Tom, the Credit Mobiler
the remains of the Siamese Twins,
Schuyler Co!fax and the several authors
of Beautiful Snow" to show forth to
the world as evidences of inborn genius
and the salutary effects of republican
institutions, but it has 10 obelisk as vet
There has been for years feeling, dor
mant, perhaps, andhitherto unexpressed,
but nevertheless deeply seated, that our
beloved country was laboring under great
disadvantages as compared with the rest
of the world, because it had no obelisk.
Presidents and local potentates are the
fruit Of our cxuberant soil. They are
born, not made-that is, not much; but
an obelisk is the result of high old wit.
Its production requires ages of culture,
and it has come to be well-deyeloped
sentiment of the human breast that a
nation without an obelsk-an Egyptian
Obelisk--has nothing 10 pin itself to his
torically.
1t is very gratifying now, when the
need Of obelisks is SO much felt all over
the world, to realize that Cleopatra was
addicted to obelisks and needles as well
as to Caesar and Mare Antony. She
must have kept her loving subjects on
the banks of the Nile very busy making
them. Had she lived to realize on her
crop of obelisks, now that so brisk a de-
mand has sprung up for them, she
would have become woman very well
to do in the world. She could have
quecned it in Fifth avenue and had u
cottage at Newport.
The New York World, with that enter
prise that characterizes the modern
American newspaper, has taken steps on
its own private account to secure to
America one of the many needles that
Cleopatra left to posterity when she held
that fatal interview with the yenomous
little asp. This needle is said to be a

of the world, who have been learned,
have been undoubtedly greater than
they could have been without the ad-
vantages of the training at the uni
versities, but others again have been
great without these advantages. What,
however, wasin our mind in suggesting
this topic was to inquire whether the
College is after all the best adapted to the
use intended that human ingenuity can
devise. Can We not bring its culture and
its teachings nearer to the demands of
modern human society? Can we not
train, along with the scholarly attain
ments CLEANED from the fruitful fields of
ancient and modern learning, more of
everyday realities, so that young man
along with his high hat may be fitted to
step from the College ON to the platform
of the active duties of life an expert and
practical worker in the human hive
without new apprenticeship in the ac-
tual working world.

Pittsburgh Telegraph Qnd.); Post
master General Key unlocks the situa-
ton with a single turn. So long as
slavery existed the South had to rely upon
State sovereignty to defend it against a
hostile popular majority in the North,
but now that it exists no longer, there
remains no institution in which all parts
of the Union are not equally interested,
and, therefore, it is a mistake to suppose
that the Federal Government can be the
enemy of any one part.
Memphis Avalanche Dem.): Every
thing points, not to Mr.. Davis open can
didacy, but to his election as United
States Senator, unless he positively prohib-
it the use of his name. No one familiar
with public sentiment doubts his cleo
tion almost without opposition should
his name go before the Legislature. And
the fact must not be overlooked that his
name is urged with force, vigor and per-
sistency by such prominent Democratic
journals as the Vicksburg Commercial,
Meridian Mercury, and Okolona States.
New York Tribune (Rep): Ewing's
moderation on the financial question in
his opening speech at Columbus last
week has given color to report that
while in New York recently he explained
to the brethren here that he was not really
as wild on the money issue as he seemed
to be; that he followed the course he did,
not so much from conviction as from the
fact that it was necessary to bow down
to the "Ohio Ide" in Ohio or be polit-
really ruined. That is a better diagnosis
for Thurman than for Ewing. The for
mer knows better, and is therefore, in
sincere. The latter doesn't know any
better, and is, therefore sincere.
Chicago Tribune (Rep.): Senator
Voorhees,, of Indiana, was so good a
friend to the Union soldiers during the
war, and they appreciated his friendship
so keenly, that on one occasion he mar
rowly escaped being taken off railroad
train and hanged by the Sixty-third In
diana Regiment. And to this day Voor-
hees has so many admirers among the
Union veterans of Indiana that they are
now arranging for mass-meeting where
at to express their opinion of the man
whose Copperheadism was unconcealed
and notorious, and who has lately had
the hardihood to pretend to have been as
good friend to the Union soldier as the
lamented Morton was.

satisfy the local demand, but the

of an obelisk, and the New York World
will win national honors by supplying
the want.

A MILITARY sNOB sNUBBED.

The Thirteenth Regiment N. G., of
New York, commanded by Col. David
E. Austen, is an exceedingly high-toned
Regiment of National Guards. 1t has
for its Chaplain the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, and it quite lately made trip
to Canada and assisted at the ovation
paid to the Queens birthday, and that
was all well enough. Since its return
the maggot of exclusiveness has begun
to breed in regimental headquarters.
While in Canada it was learned that GER
tain callings were to be tabood by mill
tary gentlemen of the first class Shop
keepers could hardly be tolerated, unless
extremely well heeled, while those who
purveyed for the inner man were beyond
the line of recognition. Even Delmon-
leo could not expect to be received on
terms Of equality.
In Company X of said regiment VIM.
II. Marshall held the position of Lieutcn-
ant. Marshall was and is the proprietor
of a restaurant-a place where men feed.
On the 18th inst. he received note from
Colonel Austen informing him that he,
the said Austen, was of opinion that the
best interests of the regiment would be
served by Lieutenant Marshall sending
in his resignation, for the reason that the
business in which Lieut.. NJ. was engaged
was Objectionable to many of the men,
bers of the regiment, and that its inhu-
ence was detrimental to regimental in
terests."
1t is rather gratifying to know that
such a piece of official snobbery met
with marked disapproval amongst the
officers as well as the rank and file of the
regiment. Indignant speeches were made
and it was boldly declared that "Lieut.
MarshalPs business as 1.-The keeper of a
restaurant was quite as respectable as
Col Austen's calling as politician"
To the citizens of the United States and
to the citizen soldiery of the United
States it is gratifying to know that the
Thirteenth Regiment N. G. is itself very
harmonious in setting down on Colonel
David L. Austen with sufficient moral
weight to squeeze all his silly snobbery
out of him, or any other man.
