Petroleum v Nasty, the chief apostle of

writing to good use in exposing, by satire, the
follies of politicians in Ohio, who sought of
late to gain votes by trading on the suppos-
ed bad effects of resumption on the agricultur-
al and industrial interests of the country. Mrs
Nasty represents that he visited Ohio in the
interests of the party, but he feels much dis
couraged by the results. The farmers would
not listen to him-they were busy preparing
for investment of the profits from great crops
= and the mechanics treated him no better
AS to the latter Nasty says ~ don't know

A NOVEMBER NOCTURN.

The Autumn air sweeps faint and chill
Across the maple.cr sted hill,
And on my ear
Falls, tingling clear, --..-
Astrange mysterious woodland thrill.
From outmost twig, from scarlet crown,
Untouched with yet tint of brown,
Reluctant slow,
As sloth to 20,
The loosened leaves come wavering down.
And not q hectic trembler there,
In It's decadence, doomed to share
The fate Of all,
But in its fall,
F. ngs something sob-likc on the air.
No DRIFT or dream Of passing bell,
Dying afar in dusky doll,
Hath any heard
Whose chimes have stirred
A teader pathos Of farewell
A silent shiver as OF pain.
Goes quivering thro' each sapless vein.
And there are moans
Whose undertones
Are sad as autumn midnight rain.
All, il without dirge-like sigh
No lishtest clinging leaf can die.
Let him who saith
Decay anddeath
Should bring no heartbreak, tell me why.
Each graveyard gives the answer: There
read resurgam everywhere;
So easy said
Above the dead
So weak to anodyne despair.

The Paris Editor.

Paris editors take their professional
duties easily. Many of the most conspic-
uous Of them always have been active po-
liticlans, probably with seats in the
chamber, and with other irons in the fire.
They press their opinions in the signed
contributions which may one day be the
stepping stone to high Office. As they
object to evening work for many reasons,
it is hard to get q suitable man to edit q
morning journal, and accordingly, most
OF the papers of the French capital ap-
pear in the afternoon. His most iutl-
mate friends would mistrust their senses
if they met London editor in q ball
room after midnight; while in Paris it is
the chief part of an editors business to
show himself every where in a certain
societv-to attend the receptions of the
ministers or opposition leaders, a. the
case may be, and to drop in, besidee At
the unofficial reunions where his polit:-
cal friends are IN the habit Of rallying.

Mir. O'Flaherty's Diamonds.

Fortune. never tired of favorlng the
Irish, has bestowed upon them another
distinction. In the hands of one of their
race is at last the largest diamond. One
Mr.. O'Flaherty has found, we are told,
at the Cape Fields, no tiny gem, but a
huge mass of brightness weighing $50
carats, and promising to be very mine
Of wealth. The largest ever known be-
fore. when cut, proved only to weigh
113 10 carats; the Kohlnoor did boast OF
more than two-thirds that weight; and
yet an 1rishman, whose claim is, it seems,
in the very middle of the diamond mud,
has quietly lifted this large and brilliant
stone from the earth and taken it down
to the Cape. He IS said now to have
three courses open to him. He can dis
pose of 1t at once to spectators Oh the
spot, or, bringing it to England, he can
sell it to be cut; or he may have it cut at
his own expense, and take his chance IT
a colossal fortune or comparatively little.
Mr.. Flaherty has clearly cause to consid-
er before consigning his brilliant to the
diamond cutters of Holland.

He has probably liking for society fo
III own sake, and it is at once his pleas
ure and his duty to 1eel the pulse OF soc,-
ETY. for himself, in place of trusting, like
his English confrere, to the secondhand
reports Of intimates who are mixing in
the world at any rate. Then he never
need have the sense of working at high
pressure. Far more often than not, he
writes on the domestic subjects which
are always on his mind; and when he
has occasion to treat some sudden ques-
ton of foreign policy, he does SO deliber-
ately, after ripe consideration. The mi
nor contents of his meagre sheet demand
comparatively little supervision, and that
little may be confded to intelligent su
bordinates. With the exception of the
Temps, there are few Partisan papers that
take any great trouble about their for
eign correspondents; and tho sum total
ot the mechanical labor must, of course
be proportionately small.

CURRENT TOPICS.

The old powder magazine built by
the Union forces, which stood on Main
street in the edge Of the old cemetery at
Va, has been torn down. This is the
last OF the works left from the war. The
Notifications which were around the
grounds now occupied by the megnif-
cent buildings OF Central University have
long since disappeared.
HE deficit in the sug :r-beet crop is
reported as between 25 and so per cent.
less this year than last. It will have an
important bearing on the price of cane
sugar, when it is remembered that beet
sugar is identical with that of cane sug-
ar, and that the beet sugar manufacture
covers about one third of the sugar pro-
duct Of the world.
