Favors Ungraeiously Granted.

The recipient of favors from the ungra-

The ungracious often humiliate, although

there is hardly any task more repugnart to

our temper and spelling due gratitude.

The Marseillaise.

Of all the airs which deserve to be
termed national that of the French
"Marseillaise'' is without doubt, the
most lively and exciting. ''The sound
of it, says Carlyle, will make the
blood tingle in mems veins, and whole
armies and assemblages will sing it
with eyes weeping and burning, with
hearts defiant of death, despot, and
devil" Even. in times of peace and
quietness it is impossible to listen to
its animating strains without expert
encing q certain thrill. and its effects
on an impetuous people in the trouble
some times of tie past may be readily
imagined. Such was its power upon
the French that it was at one time for
hidden to be played or sung, and the
prohibition extended until 1873, when
the Minister Of War issued circular
authorizing bands to play the tune at
reviews and official ceremonies.

There was, glimpse of little

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Sir Charles Dixie,

The re-trial OF the Crawford divorce suit
which resulted in February last in c di-
vorce for Mr.. Crawford upon the grounds
of the adultery of his wife with Sir Charles
Dixie has resulted in a reaMrmaticn OF
that decree, the second trial being more
damaging to Sir Charles than the former
if possible. Dixie seems greatly crushed
by the result aud has addressed a
letter to his late constituents asserting his
innocence of tho affirmation against him
and setting up that he was prevented by
the court from cross-examin1ng witnesses
and addressing the jury in his own behalf.
He has offered his property in Chelsea for
sale and will immediately go to the south
of France for his future permanent
residence.
