I had been with Morris and Griinby five-and-tbirty years come tha first of nest month. I was forty when I came here, and so I have the habit of being exact about dates ; aud am now within a fotv weeks of seventy-five. But, a-< for being old, bless y<>u, I'm younger tlitin the youngest cli rk, Tom Congers who, what wiih late suppers aud had drinking, has a Inind that shakes lik) those old ledger leaves blow'ng in Ibe wind by the open window yomiur. Cold water, early hours, and temper anee iu all things keep a man hale his life through. If you c'oo'i believe that, look at me, I'm an example, sir. Ye I've seen changes here. Thefirmwas "Morris, Grinby &Bloom," wh"u I came, though young Bloom died three months after the young Grinby was ta- ken into partneiship. We had a fire here, too, and tiio offices have been re- built on a differeut plan. Ah, yes— changes enough, sidand pleas:itit; but the strangest and saddest of all was whiit happened topoor Ben Wade. Ah, dear me ! It did seem hard, looking at it with human eyes, and for- gettiu^, as we are apt to, that God does everything for the brsf. Perhaps you dnn't know this house is built. It's an old place, although the fnuit and offices are new, and thoso great balustrades were only put up lnst year Down below you ca-j judge how very old it is. Such a cellar, ssir, such massive walls, paved with stone, and be low the cellar is a small etoue vault, which Codgers, who laughs at serious things, .s;iys the old firm built to be bur- ried in. Mj own opinion is it W:IH in- tended toconceal valuables, for it Las a grate and painted door, find tho locks each fastened with a different key—that is, it they were ever fastened at all. The vault was disused long before my time. Well, fir, I hadn't been here six months, when one day, or rather one evening, for it was nearly six—morehauts kept later hours in those days—I had occasion to go down into tde cellar be- fore going home, to give directions to the porter about some bales to be s^nt up in the early morning next day. Mike and I were up at the north end of tne cellar, where the bules were, and as I was giving him my orders, when at my elbow, as it seemed, I heard an odd sound, a kiod of wheezing cough Emoth- ered in a moment. I looked arouud , there was nobody there, not a poul; and I thought:— "How our ears' deceive us, to be eure,' and went on talking. IJut, I give you my word, I hadu't ppoKen three words when there was that sound again. It quite started me. "Mike,"fsaid I, "did you cough ?" "No, sir," said Mike, "I thought your honor did." "It must bo imagination or gome sound from the office overhead," but just then—ough! ough ! We both heard it. "It's no good, your honor," said Mike. "There's some one hiding in the col- lar," said I. So, with Mike's lantern, we over the great stone paved place, 1 behind boxes and bales, and urn' steps and upthe coal slide. But not a soul did wo find until passing the door of the vault, I heard it this time very faint and strange, and called out to Mike : From above places to Kew York, 1st Class. 2d Class. 3<1 ClafB. $120 (72. $40 in Gold.

And with that we both turned stair- ward andbolted into Mr. Grinby's of- fice together—the oldgentleman Grin- by, senior. He don't come to the office onco a year now, for he's past ninety.— Uld Mr. Grinby was just locking his desk and buttoning his overcoat. He stared at us through bis glasses and ejaculated : "Bless me, Humphries, is the house on fire ?" "No, sir," said I, "but there's some one hidden in tho stone vault. 1 ' "Bah!" said Mr. Grinby, "I thought ' you had better sense, Mr. Huuiphrius. No one could exist ten minutes in the stone vault. It is the next thing to air tight " "It is my belief, sir, that whoever it is may be chokiug to death, sir," said I; "but there may be some one there.— Mike heard a s 'und as well as I." "Very we'l," said Mr. Griuby ; "call the nearest constable, Mike, and—Mr. Morris, are you in your office sir? Per- haps you'll come doan with us and as- sist iu tho capture of a burglar Mr. Humphries has discovered in tho air- tight vault below tho cellar." Ho was very satirical; PO was Mr. Morris. But we all went down togeth- er, ihoconstable with us, aud stopped before the stone vault. The door was shut so tight that it took all Mike's BtreDgth to furoa it open. And Mr. Grinby,} looUiug straight before him, shouted : "Ha, ha, nobody, a8 I told you." But the uext minute he saw what the rest of us had already seeu—a bundle of r;igs in one corner of the vault, down on the floor. And amidst the rags was a white face and a tiny band, and a bare bruieed and bleeding foot. And we dragged out into such air as there was in tho cellar a miserable wretch of a little boy, who seemed quite dead. Up in the office, however, we brought him to life and got the story from him. Ho liver], it seems, among thieves, and they had planned to rob us that night, and he, poor littie mid^e, had slipped in somehow, aud hidden iu tho cellar, to open tho door for them, never thinking that any one would coino there that night. liut when Mike and I went down, he took to the vault, and there would have smothered but for my hearing him. I don't can; to tell you how we kept him and filled the pUce wi'.h cons a'jles, who wh^pu the burgl irs cumej pounced out upon them andtook th'.'tn into custody You can guees all that. It's tho poor boy I have to tell you about—poor Ben •V.ilt?, It came out duriug the investi- gation, consequent upon the arrest, that the poor child was kept among the thieves by force, and that they had used him cruelly. Onco a ruffian of the gang had broken his leg in a drunken fury, and he limped yet from tho injury. He was fuch a pale, worn, miserablo thing that every one felt merciful tohiun, and it was decided to pardon him, and send him to the poorliou.--e. But that very morning, Grinby junior —» young man—uuine into the office where his father sat, and put his hand npon his arm. "Father," says he, "I want to ask you one favor. I «ant myown way in one tbimr." "Well," said the old gentleman, "let me I ear you." " I want to take Ben Wade intot his housa as aa erraud boy,"said young Mr. Grinby. "lley ?" said the old gentleman,"want a young housebreaker as errand boy? Bless iny soul I" '•Father," Bays young Grinby, "the boy is naturally a good boy. I like him; I want to save bim. Perhaps, if I had not go good n father to guide me and cure for me, I might have been worse than he. I don't ask you to trust him sir. I only ask leave to trust bim myself. I am sure he will prove deser- ving of confidence." Old Mr. Grinby took out his snuff box, and looked at Mr, Morris. 'I've notictd tho lad's eye; it's a gocd one," said Mr. Morris. "Irt a risk," said Mr. Grinby, " but we'll consider." Aud I suppose tiio result was what young Grinby wanted, for little Ben vViuie came to us tho next Monday. Now he was clean atid whole, ho didn't look to bad, and good food and no abuse made a difference in himin a week. In a month or so people stopped pre- diotiog that young Grinby would repent some day ; and in a year I don't think there was one iu the office who didn't lovo that boy. So gratoful and so trust- worthy, and so ready to do everything for every one. Youug Grinby had him taught, and well-taught too. The light- niug calculator might beat him, but I doubt it; und I never knew that lad to forget to dot his i's or cross his t's in all mj acquaintance with him after ho had learned to write at all. At twenty he was one of the best e'erks in our establishment, besides be- ing a fine looking fellow as ono would wish to see. On the w hole, I did not wonder thatjMiss Lucy Evans took a f&ucyto bin-,—a sister, sir, of one of the young fellows at our place, and a girl who looked like a queen, and was as good as she was handsome. I used tomeet them walking on the battery, where lovers used to walk in those days. He was so fond and proud of her, and she hadsuch a tender way of looking at him, that they made my old heart young again, as I often told Mrs. Humphries, to whom I always con- fide everything. And how he rever- enced her—why a ribbon or a faded flower that she had worn was cherished by him as a miser cherishes his gold. At last he told me, in coufidence— for her name was sacred, and not to be spoken before every oue—that they were to be married. "And when I look back, sir," said he, '•and remember the miserablo years of my wretched childhood, and think how friendless and forlorn 1 was, and how there was nothing before me but a pris- on or the gallows, and think that now I have everything to make mau's life blessed—the power to win a respectable livelihood byreputable labor, the res- pect of honest men, and the love of such R girl as Lucy—I can never bo too grateful to the kind friend who saved me from a lifo I daro not contemplate. to you, lovo? Tho lobster, I'll be bound." "Perhaps," gaid I; "I admit I ate a hearty puppor. And nothing else could make me fancy young Wade at my bed- side, white as a ghost, with both hands on my breast. "Ah but the nightmare is always black, not white," said^my wifo. A.nd ihcn she wont to a little cupboard and brought me a glass of wine. After that I w. nt to sleep again. 1 did not rise early, and was quite be- hind my usual time. But when I reach- ed our place I found it in great com- motion. Clerks running hither and thith- er, the heads of the firm standing about in the most unbutine^s-liko manner, and three constables on the premises. "What is the matter, sir," I said, ad- dressing Mr. Grinby. "Matter enough," said be. "We've been heavily robbed." "I fancied that couldn't happen here," said I. "I really believed it would bo impOFsiblo for burglars to break into Morris, Grinby & Son's, sir." "Ah, said he, "they did not break Iu, Tho door has been quietly opened from the inside." "And I believe"—began Mr. Morris "Sir," cried young Grinby, out of breath, "I beg, as a geutletna't, as a man of principle, you will not give utter- ance to unfounded suspicions—totally unfounded and unworthy of you." "Prove them so, sir," said Morris, coolly, "and I'll apologize." I looked an inquiry. "Don't ask explanations, I beg, Mr. Humphries," paid Mr. Grinby. Some- thing has been said which the speukcr will regret. Ah, there comes my mes- senger." And in ran one of our bnyg. '•Well, Tom, said Mr. Grinby. "Mr. Wade aiu't been home all night, sir" said Tom. "I told youfio,"said Mr. Morris. "And I tell you even yet that I will not hear my dear friend's—yes, my very dear friend's—character aspersed," said young Grinby. "Humphries, I know you love young Ben Wade as I do. Fancy him connected wilb this robbery As well suspect my father, or myself, or you" "lie's mi>sing," said Mr. Morris shut- ting the office door upon us three. " H e was seen to return lute in the evening. He was one of the band of housebreakers when we took him in and many declare the character to be formed at six years old. He was nine. I be- lieve he has been won back to his old ways. 1 ' "You will not express your belief to other?,"said Mr. Grinby. "Not as yet, mo6t certainly," said Mr. Morris. '•Well, fir, that was a bitter cold day to me a bitter dsy. We could learn nothing of young Wade nfter eight o'clock on the previous night. Then several had seen him. He had taken tea at a little coffee house, as he some- times did when he did not intend to re- turn home until quite late, and had said to some one there, "I inu«t go haok to the office. I have forgotten something,' Half an hour afterward Mike, the porter, had passed him in the street, and young Wade had said : "What's the time, Mike?" The porter told him, " I shall be too late," hesaid. "I have an engngement, and must go back to our place lor a parcel I'vo forgot- ten." An apple woman on tho corner had seen him enter. He often bought fruit of her for lunch, and she know him by It is Friday, and he is to suffer execu- tion at dawn. Present this, if you pleasp, and I implore you to ask no questions now. Before they could say much he was gone, afraid, I think, to be the first to tell the story, aud our gentlemen called a cab andtook mo with them at my re quesi. They seemed to expect us at the prison, and we were admitted. But in the narrow corridor Morris stopped us. "Gentlemen," he said, "you must nervo yourselves. Have you reflected that you may seo Benj:iujin Wade when yonder door is opened '! Young Grinby put his hand upon his heart and seemed turning faint again. It was the first time the thought had entered my mind, and it was a blow. It s aggered me. The next minute the turnkey flung the door open and we were in the cell. On the floor lay a man—a broad shoul- dered fallow—in rough garments—who seemed to havu cast himself down in grief or terror. It wad not Ben Wade At first I thought I never had seen the face be lifted as it rose. Ina moment it came to mo. It was the leader of the gang who hail been arrested for thnt old attempt at robbery when we had found little Bon in the stone vault. Story of a Pair of Slippers. It is a fortunate circumstanco that officers not on duty wear mufti, other- wise two gallant gentlemen would have cut each other's throats on Monday, all in consequence of a pink slipper. Baron de T is a very jolly bachelor by no means a sworn brother of the Order of Mnlta, and although not a professional Don Juan, still with a oer- tain reputation for success among the fair ladies of the capital His intimate friend,"Count dc P , on the contrary, has the name of being a most devoted husband, although his wife's beauty is sogreat that there is little merit iu his constancy Notwith- standing this great difference in c; arac- ter and taste, these two gentlemen have long been inseparable, Madame P •- iil*iiya taking up the cudgel in behalf of her husband's friend wheiiover ho was attacked too warmly in her presence and the Baron olten remarking that he would rangor himself as soon as he could ill id some one as lovely as the Coumoss. Both of these gentlemen belong to the staff of a French Marshal, who went to the front on Weduesday, and two days "the real M»3ter Mason's grip, and ono you will not soon forget;" and at the same time exerting to his utmost his great muscular powers, causing the bonea of Scaith'a hand tocrack, and tho blood to start from under the finger nails; Smith, in the meantime, hallooing with pain. "Go home," said the Major, "and tell all your anti Masonic friends that if any of them want the Master Mason's grip, to come tome, for I flatter myself that I can give it as well as any other read." The Major gave one more turn of the vise and then released his victim. Tho next day, Smith, with his' hand done up in a poultice, 6tartod home, entirely satisfied with t'ne Masdnlo information he had so painfully obtained—a wiser if not a better man. before P went to T- •'s lodgings their cam- God bless Mr. Grinby!" said he, lifting his hat reverently as he might in church, and there was a prayer in his dark eyes as he looked upward. Those were the last words I ever heard him speak, except "good-night." Ah ! dear me, it should have been good-bye Ten minutes after I went ono way and he the other. I took my way home, anc he, as it seemed afterward, walked just two blocks aud then came back here. At twelve o'olock that nigbt I awoke Mrs Humphries. "My dear," said I, "I must have hac the nightmare or something." "Goodness," said she, "it seems so.— Your hands are like ice. What gave i There the news ended, until Mike, go- ing to light the fires, found the place iu a scene of confusiou—desks and safes rifled, papers strewed about, and every mark of systematic burglary. Late in the day Lucy Evans came down. Her brother had sent her word of what had occurred. She believed some accident had happened toBen, and begged the firm to spare no effort to dis- cover him. the wan almost distracted, and who can wonder? They had been going together, it seemed, to see some play the night before, and she had been sufficiently alarmed by his failing to keep the appointment tobe in a measure prepared for worse. She knew he in- tended tobring her a book, lie had spoken of it. That must have been tho parcel he went back for. Of course, *he never doubted him, and no ono dared to hint at what had been whispered, iu her presence. For weeks, sir, tho authorities were at work. Immense rewards were offer- ed for the burglars, and the recovery, alive or dead, of young Benjamin Wade, but without the leitst effect. We were notified of everybody washed ashore, and of every unknown man found dead for months, and at last there were fow who did not laugh at poor Beu's rieuds for their credulity. It seemed plain, to them—and may leaven not judge them as they judged heir brother,—Ben wade w;is guilty. Poor Lucy never looked up. It was easy enough to see that her heart was jroken, and ina year she died, just a a week too soon to hear what 1 shall ell you, Oue morning I was very busy at my desk in tho office when a gentleman came in and askod for Mr. Morris or Mr. Grinby. Old Mr. Grinby was at home with the gout, but Mr. Morris and tho young gentleman were in. I saw the gentleman was a clergyman, and fancied hehad called to solicit sub- scription for some mission to the heathen or Sunday school or new church. Uut his first words mado me start. Thev were thsec : "You remember, of course, a burglary "You've cQmfe, have you ?" he said, sitting down ou the i*tone Beat, "and I se6 you know me. They've caught me again, and it's murder this time, and I've got to swing. If it wasn't for that no person 'ud have got this out of me. But I've promised, and I always keep my promise, I do. You remember h youug man culied Ben Wade ?" 1 What of him ?" we cried iua breath. "Not much—he didn'nt rob your place, that's all. We done it—Dick Burch and Slippery Tom and me. Tell you how it was. You know that boy informed on us, and I was locked up for hard labor for more years than most men live. 1 didn't stay, though. I cut off and came home. And tho first thing I did was tovow vengeance on that boy. Why, there was a gay youug buck, in fine togs, with ;he handling ot' money, and thought of and trusted just for hav- ing done for us. Proud, too—wouldn't speak to us in the street. Threatened to give information if he eaw one of us prowling about. I heurd it all. I swore I'd fix him; aud it seemed to come to me. "Oue night I was agoin' to Slapper's shades to have a drink. Burch was with me : and in a quiet sort of street we came up to Ben, in a mighty hurry. I'd have knocked him on the head, but Burch stopped me. " '^oo what he's up to,' says he. And we followed. Ho went down to your piaco, and went it. He left the door ajar, and we made the best of it. He was coming out with a book or some- thing in his hand, aud we met him Ue was plucky, I tell you. One of us wouldn't have got off so easy, but we were two to one. We gagged and tied him, and made a clean sweep of the place that night." "And Ben—my God, did Ben think we would not believe him ?" cried Mr. Grinby. "He had but to come to us—to tell the truth. Where is ho ? Do you know ? Speak I" The robber was turning tho hue of ashes His words carno slowly. His eyes glanced over his shoulder and he backed upagainst the wall." "We looked him up in tho stone vault," he said, "and took the keys with us. If you look you'll find him there." And Mr. Grinby fainted outright in my arms. Well, sir, the robber's words were true. The vault was opened that day, and there—no matter. It was easier to know the ring he wore, and the keys and purse iu his pocket, thau poor Ben Wt.de. The first thing that Mr. Griuby said was : "Thank heaven, Lucy cannot know it." And the next he sobbed—"Oh but the certainty would have been batter for her after all. And tlien to kuow his name was clear." And so that is the story of our ptone vault; and, strange as it is, it is quite true. You may see his grave close be- side Lucy's any day. And Mrs. Hum- phries—Bhe's a romantic woman, sir— says the thinks the violets and roses grow there of their own accord under the white monument. ou business connected wiih paignifg arrangements. There was some little delay inanswering his ring, and as he entered the drawing-room he j heard the rustle of a silk dres* as the opposite door was closed. Rather ac- customed to such episodes at his friend's rooms, P fxoused himself for the intrusion, aud WHS it bout to withdraw, when sudd.;iiy his glance foil upon a tiuy pink flipper lying close to tha parlor door, which had evidently been dropped by the fair visitor in her pre- cipitate flight. Hastily springing for- ward ho snatched it from tho ground, and saw, with horror, not only the name of hi3 wile's shoemaker, but also her own monogram. "Mil Jrune r'e P is in your room," he exclaimed, in a paroxysm of jealous rage. "You are mad ?'answered T—^—.fc"I give you my word of honor as a gentle- man, that she has never crossed my threshold ; had she been here, most cer- tainly you would not have been permit- ted to euter." The Count, howcv would uot bo convinced, aud with the cusing slipper in his hand insisted upon being confronted with the lady whowas iu the iuner room. Of course, the Baron eaid howould die before he permitted this, and finally his visitor left tho house swearing that "blood alone could wash out the outrage," etc. Jumping into his carriage, Monsieur de P drove homo rapidly, and burst like a mad bull into his wife's boudoir, where the lady was making' up s >iue lint for the patriotic association. "Where have you bto:i ?" he shouted as he came in. I think that you hr.d bettor answer that question," she replied very quietly. " I have not left the house to-day, while you rush in here like a lunatic." And then, after a moment's silence : "But what aie you doing with my slip- per? Give it to mo at once. You are crumpling it up, so that I shall not ba able towear it,' "So you confess that it is yours, mad- ame ?" "Most certainly, and I wish you would not twist it about so horribly " "Very well, Madame ; I found itat your lover's." "My lo-er'sl Decidedly, mon amt,yon are ill. Shitll I send for the doctor?" "I do not joke madame ; I found it at Monsieur de T 's, where doubtless its fellow isat present." The Counties rang the bell, and bade her maid bring in her pair of pink satin Fenelons. A moment afterward three shoes wero in the hands of the astooished Couut. "But whose is tho third one ?" he said ; ''it had your shoemaker's name, and even your mouogram and ooronet Madame de P-^— thought for an in- stant, and then laughed out heartily, as she answered : " I have it. I sent back a pair last week because they were too large You deserve, you jealous wretch, that they shouldfitme. Monsieur Jaoob evidently his a customer who is le a of a Cin- derella than I am. Look for yourself; they are at least a size too long." Confused and repentant, too Count committed hero a year ago or more.' : I could noi keep my aeat then, but went forward, trembling like a leaf. Young Mr. Grinby had turned quite faint, undwas leaning against tho wall for support. "You are agitated," said tho clergy- man ; " I fear you will be still more aflected by what you must soon hour. A person now la custody, condemned to execution, has a confession to make to you in regard to that affair—a very hor- rible ono I fear." Ho took a card from his pocket and wrote a fewlines. "If you will call ot the prison any time to-day, you will not be too bite. To Save the Eyesight. Milton's blindness was the result of over-work and dyspepsia. One of tho most eminent American divines, having for sometime been compelled to forego tho pleasure of reading, spent thousands of dollars in value and lost vears ot timo in consequence of getting up several hours before daylight and studying by artificial light. His eyes never got well. Multitudes of men and women have made their eyes weak for lifo bythe too free use of the eyesight, reading small print anddoing fine sewing. Iuview of these things, it is well to observe the following rules in the use of the eyes : Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkneBS. Nover read by twilight or moonlight or ona very cloudy day. Never sleep so that on waking the eyes shall open on the light of a win- dow. Do not use the eyesight by light so scant that it takes an effort to dis- criminate. Nover read or sew directly in front of tho light, or window,or door. It is best to have the light fall from above, obliquely over the left shoulder. Too much 1 iuht creates a glaro and pain, and confuses tho sight. Tho mo mei.t you are sensible of an effort to distinguish, that moment cease, and talk, walk, or ride. As the sky is blue and the earth green it would seem that the ceiling should be a blueish tinge, thocarpet green, and tho walls of some mellow tint. Tho moment you are instinctively prompted torub the eyes, thut moment cease using them. If the eyelids are plued together on waking up, do not forcibly open them, but apply iho saliva with tho finger—it is the speediest diluent in the world— and then wash your eyes and face in warm water. fell at the feet he had so unjustly calum- niated, and ra a few moments returned o explain and apologize tohis friend the [Baron. "But my deur friend,' he said, 'beg your lady visitor to change her shoemaker." The Real Masonic Crip. Major James Garrison, Lo Roy, New York, though a small man, had a most powerful giip of band. It. was like smith's vise whenever he chose t<, iiis strength. It w-.s oue ni^iit i'i th biulit ol the ami Masonic excitement of 1836-7-8 trmt a eilly "anti" by tlu name of Smith c;iine to Le Koy, au( t'lit the Major, nayiog that he ha< beard that he ( or) culd give the real Master Mason't) grip, and that he had come over eighty miles on foo to obtain it. The meeting took plac< in the bar room of the village tavern where, as usual, many persons were con gregnted, who, knowing the strength o the Major's grip, were on the loakou for fun. Having, according to the cus torn.of those days, first took a drink, th Major extended his right hand, and slightly grasped that of Smith. "Aro you re»<ly ?," said tho Major. "All ready," replied Smith The Mnjor steadily looking Smith in the faco, began to tighten his grip. Smith became uneasy and b.tg-.n to wince. Tighter and tighter, grow the Major's grip, aud Smith began to brgto bo let off. "Why, this is only the entered ap- prentice gi ip," said thh Major. "I will givo you the fellow craft," and the Major gavo bis haod several more turns, which caused more groaning and many ludic rous contortions ou the part of Smitli, who lus'ily begged tobe let. off, said ho was satisfied and did uot want any more grips. The Major, however, WHS inex- orable, aud held on to Smith, all the time shakiny his hand, and every shake ouuaing » groan. "Now," sail) the Major,"having come a long way to got the reul Mason's grip, i it would he wrong in m>' lot youpo home I without it. Here it is," guid the M»j"r, From the Oaiaxy. A Royal Compliment. The latest report about the Spanish crown is, that it A ill now be offered to Prince Al- fonzo, the second son of the King of Por- tupU, who is but five years of age. Tho Spaniards have hunted through all the na- tions of Europe for a King. They tried to get a Portuguese iu the person of Don Luis, who is an old ex-monarch ; they tried to get an Italian, in the person of Victor Emanuel's young son, the Duke of Genoa; they tried to get a Spaniard, in the person of Bspartero, who H an octogenarian. Some of them desired a French iiourbon, Moutpcnsicr; some ot them a Spanish Bourbon, the Prince of Austurias ; some of them an English prince, one of the sons of Queen Victoria. They have Just tried to get the German Prince Leopold; but they have thought it better to givo him up than take a war along with him. It is a lon^ time since we, first suggested to them to try an American ruler. We can offer them a large number of able and experi- enced sovereigns to pick from—men skilled in statesmanship, Versed In tbe science of government, and adepts In all the arts of administration—men who conk! wear tlie crown with dignity, and rule the kingdom at a reasonable expense. There is not the least danger of Napoleon threatening them If they take an American sovereign; in fact we have no doubt lie would be pleased to support such a candidature. We are un- willing to mention names—though toe h'ivn a man in our eye whom we wteh they had in Ihtirs.N. Y. 'lribune. It would be hut an os'.entation of mod- cs'.y topermit such a pointed reference to myself to pass unuoticed. This is the second time that "The Tribune" (no doubt sincerely looking to the btst inter- ests of Spain and tbe world at large) has done me the great and unusual hon- or topropose me as a fit person to fill the Spanish throne. Why "The Trib- une' 1 should single me out in this way from the midst of a dczen Americans of higher political prominence, is a prob- lem which I cannot solve, Beyond a somewhat intimate knowledge of Span- ish history and a profonud veneration for its great names aud illus'rioas deeds I feel that I possess nomerit thai should peculiarly recommend me to this royal distinction. I cannot deny that Span- ish history ba3 always been mother's milk to me. 1 am proud of every Span- 'lieverhent, from Ilernnndo Corte's victory at Thermopylae down to Vasco Nunez de Balboa's discovery of the At- antic Oouan ; and of every splendid pan'sh name from Don Quixote and he Duke of Wellington down to Don seaar do Bazan. However, these little graces of erudition ;ire of small conso- ueuce, being more showy than Servicea- le. In case the Spanish sceptre is pressed upon me—and the indications unques- .ionably are that it will be—I shall feel I necessary to have certain things sot lown and distinctly understood before- land. For instance: My salary must >e paid qusirterly iu advance. In these un-ettled times it will not do to trust.— t' Isabella hadadopted this plan, sho would be roosting ou her ancestial turoud o-dny, for tbe simple reason that her subjects never could have raised three nonths of a royal sa'ary in advance, and of course they could hot have dis ' charged her until they had squared up with lev My salary must be paid in gold; whin greenbacks are fresh in a country, they are too fluctuating. My alary has got tobo put at the ruling market rate ; I am not going to cut un- der on the trade, and they are not going to trail me a long way from homeand thtn practice on my ignorauce and play me for a royal North Adams Chinaman) by any msaus. As I understand it, im- ported kings generally get fie millions a year and house rent free. Young George of Greece gets that. As the revenues only yield two millions, he hag to take the national note for coni-idcra- ble; but even with things in that sort of shape he^is better fixed than he was in Denmark, where he had to eternally stond up because he had no throne to sit un, and had to give bail for his board becau.-e a royal apprentice gets no sala- ry there while he is learning his trade. England is the place for that Fifty thousand dollars a. year Great Britain pays on each royal child that is born, and this is increased from year to year us tli9 child becomes more and more in- dispensable to his country. Look at Prince Arthur. At first be only got tho usual birth-bounty; but now that he has frot so that he can fiance, there simply no telling what wages he gets. 1 should have to stipulate that tho Spanish people wash more and endeavor to get aloug with less quarantine. Do you know, Spain keeps her ports fast locked against foreign traffic three- fourths of each year, becuuse one day sho is scared about the cholera, and the next about the p'aguo, and next the measlos, next the hooping-cough, the hives, and tho rash ? but she does not miud leouiue leprosy and elephantiasis any more than a great and enlightened civilization iniuds l'reokles. Soap would soon remove her anxious distress about foreigu distempers. The reason arab'e land is so scarce in Spain is bwauM people squander 60 much of it on ihcir persons, audthen wheu they dio it is im- provideutly buried with them. I should feel obliged tostipulate that Marstr.l Serrano be reduced to the rank of constable, or even roundsman. He is no longer fit to be City Marshal. A man who refuted to Lo king boo&nse he was too old aud feeble, is ill qualified to help sick people to tho 6tation-houso 1 on they are armed and their form of iolirium tremens is of tho exuberant aud demonstrative ki^d. I should also require that a force bo sent to chase the late Queen Isabella out of France. Her presenco there can work no advantage to Spairj, aud she ought to be mado to move at once ;—' though, poor thing, she has been chaste enough heretofore—for a Spanish wo- man. I should also require that I am at this moment authoritatively informed that "The Tribune" did not mean mo, after ell. Very well, I do uot care two cents.—Mark Twain.

•' Wake np, Liif.c Cc^le !

P.ist six o'elock in the morning,And Bessie is ?till sound a-leep ;

Of this wonderful, rosy dawningShe's had not HO much as a peep.

The birds 'neath ner window are wildwith their efforts tt> iraken tho world ;

They think 'tis an indolent childUnder the coverlid curled.

For they have been up since the cluwnWith rqsy t&ach painted the east.

And from hillside, meadow and lawnHave gathi red their morning feast;

Have poured out the Joy of their heartsIn many a sweet rouadelay :

And now they arc lonely for liessie.And arc calfng her out to her play.

"Wake up. little Bessie!" they cry,** And spring from your soft downy nest,

The sun is far up In Ihe sky,The fresh air out i:ere is the best.

At the very first glimmer of lightThat tipped the gray hills far away,

We -iiiisr good bye to the nightAnd welcomed the fair, rosy day.

11 We flocked to your window in crowds,And tapped With our beaks on the jjane ;

We gave you a grand matinee,Thi-n back to our homes flew again :

I had been with Morris and Griinbyfive-and-tbirty years come tha first ofnest month. I was forty when I camehere, and so I have the habit of beingexact about dates ; aud am now withina fotv weeks of seventy-five. But, a-<for being old, bless y<>u, I'm youngertlitin the youngest cli rk, Tom Congerswho, what wiih late suppers aud h a ddrinking, has a Inind that shakes lik)those old ledger leaves blow'ng in Ibewind by the open window yomiur.

Cold water, early hours, and temperanee iu all things keep a man hale hislife through. If you c'oo'i believe that,look at me, I'm an example, sir. YeI've seen changes here. The firm was"Morris, Grinby & Bloom," wh"u Icame, though young Bloom died threemonths after the young Grinby was ta-ken into partneiship. We had a firehere, too, and tiio offices have been re-built on a differeut plan. Ah, yes—changes enough, sid and pleas:itit; butthe strangest and saddest of all waswhiit happened to poor Ben Wade.

Ah, dear me ! I t did seem hard,looking at it with human eyes, and for-gettiu^, as we are apt to, that God doeseverything for the brsf.

Perhaps you dnn't know this houseis built. It's an old place, although thefnuit and offices are new, and thosogreat balustrades were only put up lnstyear Down below you ca-j judge howvery old it is. Such a cellar, ssir, suchmassive walls, paved with stone, and below the cellar is a small etoue vault,which Codgers, who laughs at seriousthings, .s;iys the old firm built to be bur-ried in. Mj own opinion is it W:IH in-tended to conceal valuables, for it Las agrate and painted door, find tho lockseach fastened with a different key—thatis, it they were ever fastened at all.—The vault was disused long before mytime. Well, fir, I hadn't been here sixmonths, when one day, or rather oneevening, for it was nearly six—morehautskept later hours in those days—I hadoccasion to go down into tde cellar be-fore going home, to give directions tothe porter about some bales to be s^ntup in the early morning next day.

Mike and I were up at the north endof tne cellar, where the bules were, andas I was giving him my orders, when atmy elbow, as it seemed, I heard an oddsound, a kiod of wheezing cough Emoth-ered in a moment.

I looked arouud , there was nobodythere, not a poul; and I thought:—"How our ears' deceive us, to be eure,'and went on talking. IJut, I give youmy word, I hadu't ppoKen three wordswhen there was that sound again. Itquite started me.

"Mike,"fsaid I, "did you cough ?""No, sir," said Mike, " I thought your

honor did."" I t must bo imagination or gome

sound from the office overhead," butjust then—ough! ough ! We bothheard it.

"I t ' s no good, your honor," saidMike.

"There's some one hiding in the col-lar," said I.

So, with Mike's lantern, we •over the great stone paved place, 1behind boxes and bales, and urn'steps and up the coal slide. But not asoul did wo find until passing the doorof the vault, I heard it this time veryfaint and strange, and called out toMike :

"Whoever it is, is hidden in thevault."

And with that we both turned stair-ward and bolted into Mr. Grinby's of-fice together—the old gentleman Grin-by, senior. He don't come to the officeonco a year now, for he's past ninety.—Uld Mr. Grinby was just locking hisdesk and buttoning his overcoat. Hestared at us through bis glasses andejaculated :

"Bless me, Humphries, is the houseon fire ?"

"No, sir," said I, "but there's someone hidden in tho stone vault.1'

"Bah!" said Mr. Grinby, " I thought' you had better sense, Mr. Huuiphrius.

No one could exist ten minutes in thestone vault. I t is the next thing to airtight "

"I t is my belief, sir, that whoever itis may be chokiug to death, sir," said I ;"but there may be some one there.—Mike heard a s 'und as well as I."

"Very we'l," said Mr. Griuby ; "callthe nearest constable, Mike, and—Mr.Morris, are you in your office sir? Per-haps you'll come doan with us and as-sist iu tho capture of a burglar Mr.Humphries has discovered in tho air-tight vault below tho cellar."

Ho was very satirical; PO was Mr.Morris. But we all went down togeth-er, iho constable with us, aud stoppedbefore the stone vault. The door wasshut so tight that it took all Mike'sBtreDgth to furoa it open. And Mr.Grinby,} looUiug straight before him,shouted :

"Ha, ha, nobody, a8 I told you."But the uext minute he saw what the

rest of us had already seeu—a bundleof r;igs in one corner of the vault, downon the floor. And amidst the rags wasa white face and a tiny band, and a barebruieed and bleeding foot. And wedragged out into such air as there wasin tho cellar a miserable wretch of alittle boy, who seemed quite dead.

Up in the office, however, we broughthim to life and got the story from him.Ho liver], it seems, among thieves, andthey had planned to rob us that night,and he, poor littie mid^e, had slipped insomehow, aud hidden iu tho cellar, toopen tho door for them, never thinkingthat any one would coino there thatnight.

l iut when Mike and I went down, hetook to the vault, and there would havesmothered but for my hearing him. Idon't can; to tell you how we kept himand filled the pUce wi'.h cons a'jles, whowh pu the burgl irs cumej pounced outupon them and took th'.'tn into custodyYou can guees all that. It 's tho poorboy I have to tell you about—poor Ben•V.ilt?, I t came out duriug the investi-

gation, consequent upon the arrest, thatthe poor child was kept among thethieves by force, and that they had usedhim cruelly. Onco a ruffian of the ganghad broken his leg in a drunken fury,and he limped yet from tho injury. Hewas fuch a pale, worn, miserablo thingthat every one felt merciful to hiun, andit was decided to pardon him, and sendhim to the poorliou.--e.

But that very morning, Grinby junior—» young man—uuine into the officewhere his father sat, and put his handnpon his arm.

"Father," says he, " I want to ask youone favor. I «ant my own way in onetbimr."

"Well," said the old gentleman, "letme I ear you."

" I want to take Ben Wade intot hishousa as aa erraud boy,"said young Mr.Grinby.

"lley ?" said the old gentleman,"wanta young housebreaker as errand boy?Bless iny soul I"

'•Father," Bays young Grinby, "theboy is naturally a good boy. I likehim; I want to save bim. Perhaps, ifI had not go good n father to guide meand cure for me, I might have beenworse than he. I don't ask you to trusthim sir. I only ask leave to trust bimmyself. I am sure he will prove deser-ving of confidence."

Old Mr. Grinby took out his snuffbox, and looked at Mr, Morris.

'I've notictd tho lad's eye; it's agocd one," said Mr. Morris.

" I r t a risk," said Mr. Grinby, " butwe'll consider."

Aud I suppose tiio result was whatyoung Grinby wanted, for little BenvViuie came to us tho next Monday.

Now he was clean atid whole, ho didn'tlook to bad, and good food and no abusemade a difference in him in a week.

In a month or so people stopped pre-diotiog that young Grinby would repentsome day ; and in a year I don't thinkthere was one iu the office who didn'tlovo that boy. So gratoful and so trust-worthy, and so ready to do everythingfor every one. Youug Grinby had himtaught, and well-taught too. The light-niug calculator might beat him, but Idoubt i t ; und I never knew that lad toforget to dot his i's or cross his t's in allmj acquaintance with him after ho hadlearned to write at all.

At twenty he was one of the beste'erks in our establishment, besides be-ing a fine looking fellow as ono wouldwish to see. On the w hole, I did notwonder thatjMiss Lucy Evans took af&ucyto bin-,—a sister, sir, of one of theyoung fellows at our place, and a girlwho looked like a queen, and was asgood as she was handsome.

I used to meet them walking on thebattery, where lovers used to walk inthose days. He was so fond and proudof her, and she had such a tender wayof looking at him, that they made myold heart young again, as I often toldMrs. Humphries, to whom I always con-fide everything. And how he rever-enced her—why a ribbon or a fadedflower that she had worn was cherishedby him as a miser cherishes his gold.

At last he told me, in coufidence—for her name was sacred, and not to bespoken before every oue—that they wereto be married.

"And when I look back, sir," said he,'•and remember the miserablo years ofmy wretched childhood, and think howfriendless and forlorn 1 was, and howthere was nothing before me but a pris-on or the gallows, and think that now Ihave everything to make mau's lifeblessed—the power to win a respectablelivelihood by reputable labor, the res-pect of honest men, and the love of suchR girl as Lucy—I can never bo toograteful to the kind friend who savedme from a lifo I daro not contemplate.

to you, lovo? Tho lobster, I'll bebound."

"Perhaps," gaid I ; " I admit I ate ahearty puppor. And nothing else couldmake me fancy young Wade at my bed-side, white as a ghost, with both handson my breast.

"Ah but the nightmare is alwaysblack, not white," said^my wifo. A.ndihcn she wont to a little cupboard andbrought me a glass of wine. After thatI w. nt to sleep again.

1 did not rise early, and was quite be-hind my usual time. But when I reach-ed our place I found it in great com-motion. Clerks running hither and thith-er, the heads of the firm standing aboutin the most unbutine^s-liko manner, andthree constables on the premises.

"Wha t is the matter, sir," I said, ad-dressing Mr. Grinby.

"Matter enough," said be. "We'vebeen heavily robbed."

"I fancied that couldn't happen here,"said I. "I really believed it would boimpOFsiblo for burglars to break intoMorris, Grinby & Son's, sir."

"Ah, said he, "they did not break Iu,Tho door has been quietly opened fromthe inside."

"And I believe"—began Mr. Morris"Sir," cried young Grinby, out of

breath, " I beg, as a geutletna't, as aman of principle, you will not give utter-ance to unfounded suspicions—totallyunfounded and unworthy of you."

"Prove them so, sir," said Morris,coolly, "and I'll apologize."

I looked an inquiry."Don't ask explanations, I beg, Mr.

Humphries," paid Mr. Grinby. Some-thing has been said which the speukcrwill regret. Ah, there comes my mes-senger."

And in ran one of our bnyg.'•Well, Tom, said Mr. Grinby."Mr. Wade aiu't been home all night,

sir" said Tom." I told you fio," said Mr. Morris."And I tell you even yet that I will

not hear my dear friend's—yes, my verydear friend's—character aspersed," saidyoung Grinby. "Humphries, I knowyou love young Ben Wade as I do.Fancy him connected wilb this robberyAs well suspect my father, or myself, oryou"

"lie 's mi>sing," said Mr. Morris shut-ting the office door upon us three.

"He was seen to return lute in theevening. He was one of the band ofhousebreakers when we took him in andmany declare the character to be formedat six years old. He was nine. I be-lieve he has been won back to his oldways.1'

"You will not express your belief toother?,"said Mr. Grinby.

"Not as yet, mo6t certainly," said Mr.Morris.

'•Well, fir, that was a bitter cold dayto me — a bitter dsy. We could learnnothing of young Wade nfter eighto'clock on the previous night. Thenseveral had seen him. He had takentea at a little coffee house, as he some-times did when he did not intend to re-turn home until quite late, and had saidto some one there, " I inu«t go haok tothe office. I have forgotten something,'

Half an hour afterward Mike, theporter, had passed him in the street, andyoung Wade had said :

"What 's the time, Mike?"The porter told him,"I shall be too late," he said. "I

have an engngement, and must go backto our place lor a parcel I'vo forgot-ten."

An apple woman on tho corner hadseen him enter. He often bought fruitof her for lunch, and she know him by

It is Friday, and he is to suffer execu-tion at dawn. Present this, if youpleasp, and I implore you to ask noquestions now.

Before they could say much he wasgone, afraid, I think, to be the first totell the story, aud our gentlemen calleda cab and took mo with them at my requesi. They seemed to expect us atthe prison, and we were admitted. Butin the narrow corridor Morris stoppedus.

"Gentlemen," he said, "you mustnervo yourselves. Have you reflectedthat you may seo Benj:iujin Wade whenyonder door is opened '!

Young Grinby put his hand upon hisheart and seemed turning faint again.I t was the first time the thought hadentered my mind, and it was a blow. I ts aggered me.

The next minute the turnkey flungthe door open and we were in the cell.On the floor lay a man—a broad shoul-dered fallow—in rough garments—whoseemed to havu cast himself down ingrief or terror. It wad not Ben WadeAt first I thought I never had seen theface be lifted as it rose. In a momentit came to mo.

It was the leader of the gang who hailbeen arrested for thnt old attempt atrobbery when we had found little Bon inthe stone vault.

Story of a Pair of Slippers.I t is a fortunate circumstanco that

officers not on duty wear mufti, other-wise two gallant gentlemen would havecut each other's throats on Monday, allin consequence of a pink slipper.Baron de T is a very jolly bachelorby no means a sworn brother of theOrder of Mnlta, and although not aprofessional Don Juan, still with a oer-tain reputation for success among thefair ladies of the capital

His intimate friend,"Count dc P ,on the contrary, has the name of beinga most devoted husband, although hiswife's beauty is so great that there islittle merit iu his constancy Notwith-standing this great difference in c; arac-ter and taste, these two gentlemen havelong been inseparable, Madame P •-iil*iiya taking up the cudgel in behalfof her husband's friend wheiiover howas attacked too warmly in her presenceand the Baron olten remarking that hewould rangor himself as soon as he couldill id some one as lovely as the Coumoss.

Both of these gentlemen belong to thestaff of a French Marshal, who went tothe front on Weduesday, and two days

"the real M»3ter Mason's grip, and onoyou will not soon forget;" and at thesame time exerting to his utmost hisgreat muscular powers, causing thebonea of Scaith'a hand to crack, and thoblood to start from under t h e fingernails; Smith, in the meantime, hallooingwith pain.

"Go home," said the Major, "and tellall your anti Masonic friends that if anyof them want the Master Mason's grip,to come to me, for I flatter myself thatI can give it as well as any other read."

The Major gave one more turn of thevise and then released his victim. Thonext day, Smith, with his' hand done upin a poultice, 6tartod home, entirelysatisfied with t'ne Masdnlo informationhe had so painfully obtained—a wiser ifnot a better man.

God bless Mr. Grinby!" said he, liftinghis hat reverently as he might in church,and there was a prayer in his dark eyesas he looked upward.

Those were the last words I ever heardhim speak, except "good-night." Ah !dear me, it should have been good-byeTen minutes after I went ono way andhe the other. I took my way home, anche, as it seemed afterward, walked justtwo blocks aud then came back here.At twelve o'olock that nigbt I awokeMrs Humphries.

"My dear," said I, " I must have hacthe nightmare or something."

"Goodness," said she, "it seems so.—Your hands are like ice. What gave i

There the news ended, until Mike, go-ing to light the fires, found the place iua scene of confusiou—desks and safesrifled, papers strewed about, and everymark of systematic burglary.

Late in the day Lucy Evans camedown. Her brother had sent her wordof what had occurred. She believedsome accident had happened to Ben, andbegged the firm to spare no effort to dis-cover him. t h e wan almost distracted,and who can wonder? They had beengoing together, it seemed, to see someplay the night before, and she had beensufficiently alarmed by his failing tokeep the appointment to be in a measureprepared for worse. She knew he in-tended to bring her a book, l i e hadspoken of it. That must have been thoparcel he went back for. Of course, *henever doubted him, and no ono dared tohint at what had been whispered, iu herpresence.

For weeks, sir, tho authorities wereat work. Immense rewards were offer-ed for the burglars, and the recovery,alive or dead, of young Benjamin Wade,but without the leitst effect.

We were notified of everybody washedashore, and of every unknown man founddead for months, and at last there werefow who did not laugh at poor Beu'srieuds for their credulity.

It seemed plain, to them—and mayleaven not judge them as they judgedheir brother,—Ben wade w;is guilty.

Poor Lucy never looked up. I t waseasy enough to see that her heart wasjroken, and in a year she died, just aa week too soon to hear what 1 shallell you,

Oue morning I was very busy at mydesk in tho office when a gentlemancame in and askod for Mr. Morris orMr. Grinby. Old Mr. Grinby was athome with the gout, but Mr. Morris andtho young gentleman were in. I sawthe gentleman was a clergyman, andfancied he had called to solicit sub-scription for some mission to the heathenor Sunday school or new church. Uuthis first words mado me start. Thevwere thsec :

"You remember, of course, a burglary

"You've cQmfe, have you ?" he said,sitting down ou the i*tone Beat, "and Ise6 you know me. They've caught meagain, and it's murder this time, andI've got to swing. If it wasn't for thatno person 'ud have got this out of me.But I've promised, and I always keepmy promise, I do. You remember hyouug man culied Ben Wade ?"

1 What of him ?" we cried iu a breath."Not much—he didn'nt rob your

place, that's all. We done it—DickBurch and Slippery Tom and me. Tellyou how it was. You know that boyinformed on us, and I was locked up forhard labor for more years than most menlive. 1 didn't stay, though. I cut offand came home. And tho first thing Idid was to vow vengeance on that boy.Why, there was a gay youug buck, infine togs, with ;he handling ot' money,and thought of and trusted just for hav-ing done for us. Proud, too—wouldn'tspeak to us in the street. Threatened togive information if he eaw one of usprowling about. I heurd it all. Iswore I'd fix him; aud it seemed to cometo me.

"Oue night I was agoin' to Slapper'sshades to have a drink. Burch waswith me : and in a quiet sort of streetwe came up to Ben, in a mighty hurry.I'd have knocked him on the head, butBurch stopped me.

" '^oo what he's up to,' says he. Andwe followed. Ho went down to yourpiaco, and went it. He left the doorajar, and we made the best of it. Hewas coming out with a book or some-thing in his hand, aud we met him Uewas plucky, I tell you. One of uswouldn't have got off so easy, but wewere two to one. We gagged and tiedhim, and made a clean sweep of theplace that night."

"And Ben—my God, did Ben thinkwe would not believe him ?" cried Mr.Grinby.

"He had but to come to us—to tellthe truth. Where is ho ? Do youknow ? Speak I"

The robber was turning tho hue ofashes His words carno slowly. Hiseyes glanced over his shoulder and hebacked up against the wall."

"We looked him up in tho stonevault," he said, "and took the keys withus. If you look you'll find him there."

And Mr. Grinby fainted outright inmy arms.

Well, sir, the robber's words weretrue. The vault was opened that day,and there—no matter. It was easier toknow the ring he wore, and the keysand purse iu his pocket, thau poor BenWt.de.

The first thing that Mr. Griuby saidwas :

"Thank heaven, Lucy cannot knowit." And the next he sobbed—"Oh butthe certainty would have been batter forher after all. And tlien to kuow hisname was clear."

And so that is the story of our ptonevault; and, strange as it is, it is quitetrue. You may see his grave close be-side Lucy's any day. And Mrs. Hum-phries—Bhe's a romantic woman, sir—says the thinks the violets and rosesgrow there of their own accord underthe white monument.

ou business connected wiihpaignifg arrangements. There wassome little delay in answering his ring,and as he entered the drawing-room he

j heard the rustle of a silk dres* as theopposite door was closed. Rather ac-customed to such episodes at his friend'srooms, P fxoused himself for theintrusion, aud WHS it bout to withdraw,when sudd.;iiy his glance foil upon atiuy pink flipper lying close to thaparlor door, which had evidently beendropped by the fair visitor in her pre-cipitate flight. Hastily springing for-ward ho snatched it from tho ground,and saw, with horror, not only the nameof hi3 wile's shoemaker, but also her ownmonogram.

"Mil Jrune r'e P is in your room,"he exclaimed, in a paroxysm of jealousrage.

"You are mad ?'answered T—^—.fc"Igive you my word of honor as a gentle-man, that she has never crossed mythreshold ; had she been here, most cer-tainly you would not have been permit-ted to euter." The Count, howcvwould uot bo convinced, aud with thecusing slipper in his hand insisted uponbeing confronted with the lady who wasiu the iuner room. Of course, the Baroneaid ho would die before he permittedthis, and finally his visitor left tho houseswearing that "blood alone could washout the outrage," etc.

Jumping into his carriage, Monsieurde P drove homo rapidly, andburst like a mad bull into his wife'sboudoir, where the lady was making' ups >iue lint for the patriotic association.

"Where have you bto:i ?" he shoutedas he came in.

I think that you hr.d bettor answerthat question," she replied very quietly." I have not left the house to-day, whileyou rush in here like a lunatic."

And then, after a moment's silence :"But what aie you doing with my slip-per? Give it to mo at once. You arecrumpling it up, so that I shall not baable to wear i t , '

"So you confess that it is yours, mad-ame ?"

"Most certainly, and I wish youwould not twist it about so horribly "

"Very well, Madame ; I found it atyour lover's."

"My lo-er'sl Decidedly, mon amt,yonare ill. Shitll I send for the doctor?"

"I do not joke madame ; I found it atMonsieur de T 's, where doubtlessits fellow is at present." The Countiesrang the bell, and bade her maid bringin her pair of pink satin Fenelons. Amoment afterward three shoes wero inthe hands of the astooished Couut.

"But whose is tho third one ?" hesaid ; ''it had your shoemaker's name,and even your mouogram and ooronet

Madame de P - ^ — thought for an in-stant, and then laughed out heartily, asshe answered :

" I have it. I sent back a pair lastweek because they were too large Youdeserve, you jealous wretch, that theyshould fit me. Monsieur Jaoob evidentlyhis a customer who is le a of a Cin-derella than I am. Look for yourself;they are at least a size too long."

Confused and repentant, too Count

committed hero a year ago or more.':

To Save the Eyesight.Milton's blindness was the result of

over-work and dyspepsia. One of thomost eminent American divines, havingfor sometime been compelled to foregotho pleasure of reading, spent thousandsof dollars in value and lost vears ot timoin consequence of getting up severalhours before daylight and studying byartificial light. His eyes never gotwell.

Multitudes of men and women havemade their eyes weak for lifo by the toofree use of the eyesight, reading smallprint and doing fine sewing. Iu view ofthese things, it is well to observe thefollowing rules in the use of the eyes :

Avoid all sudden changes betweenlight and darkneBS.

Nover read by twilight or moonlightor on a very cloudy day.

Never sleep so that on waking theeyes shall open on the light of a win-dow. Do not use the eyesight by lightso scant that it takes an effort to dis-criminate.

Nover read or sew directly in frontof tho light, or window,or door.

I t is best to have the light fall fromabove, obliquely over the left shoulder.

Too much 1 iuht creates a glaro andpain, and confuses tho sight. Tho momei.t you are sensible of an effort todistinguish, that moment cease, andtalk, walk, or ride.

Tho moment you are instinctivelyprompted to rub the eyes, thut momentcease using them.

If the eyelids are plued together onwaking up, do not forcibly open them,but apply iho saliva with tho finger—itis the speediest diluent in the world—and then wash your eyes and face inwarm water.

From the Oaiaxy.A Royal Compliment.

The latest report about the Spanish crownis, that it A ill now be offered to Prince Al-fonzo, the second son of the King of Por-tupU, who is but five years of age. ThoSpaniards have hunted through all the na-tions of Europe for a King. They tried toget a Portuguese iu the person of DonLuis, who is an old ex-monarch ; they triedto get an Italian, in the person of VictorEmanuel's young son, the Duke of Genoa;they tried to get a Spaniard, in the personof Bspartero, who H an octogenarian.—Some of them desired a French iiourbon,Moutpcnsicr; some ot them a SpanishBourbon, the Prince of Austurias ; someof them an English prince, one of the sonsof Queen Victoria. They have Just triedto get the German Prince Leopold; butthey have thought it better to givo him upthan take a war along with him. It is alon^ time since we, first suggested to themto try an American ruler. We can offerthem a large number of able and experi-enced sovereigns to pick from—men skilledin statesmanship, Versed In tbe science ofgovernment, and adepts In all the arts ofadministration—men who conk! wear tliecrown with dignity, and rule the kingdomat a reasonable expense. There is not theleast danger of Napoleon threatening themIf they take an American sovereign; in factwe have no doubt lie would be pleased tosupport such a candidature. We are un-willing to mention names—though toe h'ivna man in our eye whom we wteh they had inIhtirs.—N. Y. 'lribune.

It would be hut an os'.entation of mod-cs'.y to permit such a pointed referenceto myself to pass unuoticed. This isthe second time that "The Tribune" (nodoubt sincerely looking to the btst inter-ests of Spain and tbe world at large)has done me the great and unusual hon-or to propose me as a fit person to fillthe Spanish throne. Why "The Trib-une'1 should single me out in this wayfrom the midst of a dczen Americans ofhigher political prominence, is a prob-lem which I cannot solve, Beyond asomewhat intimate knowledge of Span-ish history and a profonud venerationfor its great names aud illus'rioas deedsI feel that I possess no merit thai shouldpeculiarly recommend me to this royaldistinction. I cannot deny that Span-ish history ba3 always been mother'smilk to me. 1 am proud of every Span-

'lieverhent, from Ilernnndo Corte'svictory at Thermopylae down to VascoNunez de Balboa's discovery of the At-antic Oouan ; and of every splendidpan'sh name from Don Quixote andhe Duke of Wellington down to Donseaar do Bazan. However, these little

graces of erudition ;ire of small conso-ueuce, being more showy than Servicea-le.

In case the Spanish sceptre is pressedupon me—and the indications unques-.ionably are that it will be—I shall feelI necessary to have certain things sotlown and distinctly understood before-land. For instance: My salary must>e paid qusirterly iu advance. In theseun-ettled times it will not do to trust.—t' Isabella had adopted this plan, sho

would be roosting ou her ancestial turoudo-dny, for tbe simple reason that her

subjects never could have raised threenonths of a royal sa'ary in advance,

and of course they could hot have dis'charged her until they had squared upwith lev My salary must be paid ingold; whin greenbacks are fresh in acountry, they are too fluctuating. Myalary has got to bo put at the ruling

market rate ; I am not going to cut un-der on the trade, and they are not goingto trail me a long way from home andthtn practice on my ignorauce and playme for a royal North Adams Chinaman)by any msaus. As I understand it, im-ported kings generally get fie millionsa year and house rent free. YoungGeorge of Greece gets that. As therevenues only yield two millions, he hagto take the national note for coni-idcra-ble; but even with things in that sortof shape he^is better fixed than he wasin Denmark, where he had to eternallystond up because he had no throne tosit un, and had to give bail for his boardbecau.-e a royal apprentice gets no sala-ry there while he is learning his trade.England is the place for that Fiftythousand dollars a. year Great Britainpays on each royal child that is born,and this is increased from year to yearus tli9 child becomes more and more in-dispensable to his country. Look atPrince Arthur. At first be only gottho usual birth-bounty; but now that hehas frot so that he can fiance, theresimply no telling what wages he gets.

1 should have to stipulate that thoSpanish people wash more and endeavorto get aloug with less quarantine. Doyou know, Spain keeps her ports fastlocked against foreign traffic three-fourths of each year, becuuse one daysho is scared about the cholera, and thenext about the p'aguo, and next themeaslos, next the hooping-cough, thehives, and tho rash ? but she does notmiud leouiue leprosy and elephantiasisany more than a great and enlightenedcivilization iniuds l'reokles. Soap wouldsoon remove her anxious distress aboutforeigu distempers. The reason arab'eland is so scarce in Spain is bwauMpeople squander 60 much of it on ihcirpersons, aud then wheu they dio it is im-provideutly buried with them.

I should feel obliged to stipulate thatMarstr.l Serrano be reduced to the rankof constable, or even roundsman. Heis no longer fit to be City Marshal. Aman who refuted to Lo king boo&nse hewas too old aud feeble, is ill qualified tohelp sick people to tho 6tation-houso

I should also require that a force bosent to chase the late Queen Isabella outof France. Her presenco there canwork no advantage to Spairj, aud sheought to be mado to move at once ;—'though, poor thing, she has been chasteenough heretofore—for a Spanish wo-man.

I should also require thatI am at this moment authoritatively

In A, D, C Illustration—Tbe Tariff1

If every voter in tlio T'niioil Statescould be mado to seo tha wickedness(There is in Ihe pretense thai si liijili pro-tective tariff i« a necessity for raising nrevenuo for the government,"protection"would bo wiped cut of the statute bookna boon ns Congress couM be assembled.The peoplo would not wait for tho firstday of (lie noxt rsgulur session, butwould dcmind that tho President con-veno that body by proclamation, withouta moment'* delay. But as long as it isbeliuved that every dollar of tho in-creased prices, ovor the eld rates, ofOottOD poods, salt, hardware, cutlery,pig and railroad iron, Uesseinor Bteel,aud thousands of other articles, whichnrc "protected" by the tariff, goes intotbe treasury, and that, in paying theseprioed, everybody is helping to clear offthe national debt and maintain the uationai houor, we elial! uot have nnyrovenuo reform that wiil do tho country»uy considerable good.

Wo propose to-day, in this shortarticle, which will deal with nothingmore difficult than tho A, B, 0 of politi-cal economy, to (ry and undeceive thosewho arc submitting with patrioticpatienco to being bled, as no people everwere bled by a.tariff before, under thesupposition that they only are discharg-ing a good citizen's duty. Take, then,for an example of the way in which pro-tection robs tho peoplo without helpiugthe government, the article of pig-iron.We have, more than onoe, shown what afraud is concealed in tho legislationwhich fixes-the-price of that great com-modity ; bat no harm will come of con-tinuing to let the dropping water fall onthat Btone. I t will expose the truth toall minds by aud by.

The duty ou pig-iron was, before thelate Miisill reduction, nine dollars a tonin gold. The n<irnial cost of iron ofthat sort, in this country, under a striot-ly revenue tariff, ought not to be morethan twenty-three or twenty-four dollarsa ton ; even uow it can, in the mostiuvcired localities, be profitably manu-factured tor that money. But a parcelof blast furoace-owners persuaded Con-gress that it would be best for thiscountry, where cheap iron is the firstnecesity of national development, to havecostly iron, hence that the farmersshould not be permitted to buy theiriron where they sell their surplus wheatbut that they should shut out foreigniron altogether and put the whole ironbusiness into the hands of Pennsylvaniaand Home minor localities. Congressconsented. Tho consequence was thatthe importation of foreign iron, exceptcertain qualities necessary for mixingwith American iron, was instantly stop-ped. And the further consequence wasthat tho control of the pig-iron tradefor forty millions of people, fell into thehnnds of the few furnace-owners in theEast, and that tho price of pig-iron wentup at once to just the amount of thetariff imposed on tho foreign commodityNow as more than 1,600,000 tons of pigiron aro annually consumed in thoUnited States, of which less than100,000 tons wero imported, it clearlyfollows thst the makers of the domestiiron got out of the farmers the nine golidollars per ton increase of price on thowhole amount of iron they made, beingmore than fourteon millions of dollar:each yoar, while the government got asduty on all the foreign iron importec(say one hundred thousand tons), onlythe beggarly aggregate of nine hundrecthousand dollars! For each dollarpaid into the treasury, the iron monopolists grabbed, by the workiug of thatsystem called Protection to AmericanIndustry, fourteon dollars ! A herringfor the treasury, a whale fur the inouopolists !

This is the way, on an endless number of articles that are of prime necessityto tho farmers, that "protection" cheatstho government, impoverishes the peopleand fills up the coffers of the monopolists. Tho pretense that the pricei otfood, or other articles that the farmersraise and iron-makers consume, are sen-sibly increased by that consumption, is aswindle upon tho public, because thoprice of tho wheat the farmers sell isnot fixed in this country at all, but inEurope where our surplus products aresent; and were we to manufacture everyounce of iron and steel of all sorts usedin the country, as long us we had a sur-plus of grain, the prioe would not be in-creased a cent a bu6hel.

We estimate, from tho truth of theillustration above used, that "protection'costs the country, five hundred to sevenhundred millions of money every year—money worse than thrown away. "Weshall arrive at tho end of the legislationthat brings «uch consequences in itstraiD, by and by. In the meantime—patience !—Chicago Pott.

Progress of the tu rm.in Arms In France*London, Auo'. 29.

The following is a resume of tho pro-gress of the Q-erman arms sinco tho com-mencement of tho invasion of Franco :After the check encountered by thei'rench vanguard near Surbraek, Aug.6th, fo'lowed by tbe route oi McMabou,the French main body retired cm theline of tho Moselle. The fortresses ofThiouville and Motz, defenses of thefirst order, and well supplied and in-trenched camps which were constructed,gave gr<jat strength to their new posi-tion. A direct attack would have beendifficult, and therefore tho Germanarmies passed to tho eouth of Metz,toware the Moselle. To* cross it abovethe city and discover thu euemy's move-ments— such great masses of troops,covering a wide region—required specialprecautions. Tho first army was toflank tho enemy's line of march, nndwas direoted to take ft new position nearthe River Nied. Meantime tho firstand second armies approached eachothor, a division passing over theMosello. Tim samo division on the 9lhtook part in a fight in which tho Fienchwere repulsed and pursued until theyreached the protection of the gut a ofMetz. This couilmt revolted greatly totho advantage of tho Prussians as it re-tarded the French retreat, and the advantage was easily followed up.

Two roada connect Met/, with Ver-dun and Verdun with Paris. The secondarmy, refraining from the passage of theMoselle, and I'm is thus threatened, thuPfenon were obliged to withdraw fromthe right bank of tho Moscllo beforeMotz, not being stroug etough to stopthe Prussian movements. The advanceof the first army, observing tho move-ments of tho French, attacked on August14th the French roar, throwing it upouthe main body, which was compelled to6oud back several divisions to supportthe rear. Tho PruB.-iao first and seventhcorrs went on the south Bido to compelthe French to face about. They suc-ceeded afier a bloody but victoriousconflict. The Prussian fifth divisionattacked Gen. Frotuiard. By degreesthe entiro French force became engagedand of the Prussian forces tho other di-visions of tho third corpn, tho tenthcorps, a regiment of the ninth corps anda brigud) of tho eighth participated.Prince Frederick Cliarlos had takencommand. Thu movement wiis success-ful, and the bouthe ly road to Paris wasintercepted. The Pruasmua foughtheroically aud their lc»«o« were large, butthose of the enemy, especially of the'Im-perial Guard, wero immense. TbeFreuch ofikiul reports estimate thePrussian force engaged at double whatit was.

The only way fjr the Emperor to es-cape fittal isolation from Paris and hissupplies now lay on tbe northern lino.The Prussian «rmy in the south, findingno enemy before it, foil back, combiningwith the other army. A joiut attack onthe French was then planned. TheFrench, ceasing lo retreat by the northerly line, took a position on the heightsbefore Metz. Tho second army instant-ly movrd to the rin-ht, fixing its centerand left at Verneville and Armanvilliers,while its right ret-ted in contact with thefirst army. Absoluts readiness for asimultaneous movement along the entireline was requisite, as the I'r^lich posi-tion was a strong one. At the start theninth corps encountered an advanced detachment, who opened with artilleryfrom tho Verneville side. The rightarmy, therefore, was ordered to engagethe enemy iu front, and, at one o'clockopened a well-sustained and effectivecannonnde, which lasted till broad daylight. The FrcDch replied with vigor.About 2:30, the infantry engaged tbeenemy, who was just then strongly rein-forced, his lino reaching from the St.Marie aux Chimes to the La Cuiseewood. His position, naturully of greatstrength, had been BO fortified by earth-works and ditches that it seemed almostimpregnable. There was a brief delaybefore the assault, in order to muke surethat the enemy had stopped bis retreaton the northern route. Tbe ooiubatwhich ensued was long and terrible. Onthe left the guards and Saxon troopsfought at St. Marie, St. Private andDouitouro. Meaowhile tho other wingwas engaged near St. Ail, the LaCuisse wood and Verneville, as far asthe north side of tbe northern rond fromMet/, and Verdun. The eighth andninth corps participated in the action atGravelotto, and the contest spread fromVnux to tbe Moselle, where a brigade ofthe third and tenth with artillery wereengaged with tho entire French army,Mo Mahon's corps, aud Failley's divisionexcepled. After sundown tho Prussianstook tho heights by fctorm, flinging backthe French along their entire lino to the6helter of Metz.

THE Republican Congressional Con-vention for this district was held ot Jack-son on Tuesday, and Was a one-sided af-fair, in fact a regular jag-handled con- Icein. Th« temporary organization wasin the BI.AIII interest, Col. C. 13. GIIANT

being chairman, and the permanent or-ganization w::» of the same stripe, AN-DRUW HOBISON—Uuule ANDREW—being

President, but an he assumed tho clfhirafter dinner and is reported was''too fullforuttcraoco" we have not beeu privi-leged to read that "good old Demoerot-io speech" of his, which has oft-times sotsuliveued such occasions.

Before proceeding to ballot BAKBEKwas withdrawn, WILLAUD was withdrawn,

aud CUTCHEON having beeu withdrawn"previously before," by FATTISON in tbe

Commercial, a proposition was uaturnllymade to nominate BLAIR—by aculamu-mation and unanimously. But II. C.VVALDDON, of Washtenavv, being pluck-ier, more obstinate or more obtuse thant ie other auti- BLAIK men, did not "see

it" nnd moved an informal ballot, whichmotion reoeived one-solitary lone vote—his own. The motion to nominate BLAIR

unanimously was then carriod, but nots-g-z a-o-t-1 y unanimously, for WAL-DKON voted .NO! And so "petered out"

the opposition to "Our BLAIR ' aud he is

again ou the course. And when hasn'the been on the course since the organi-zation of tho Republican party "underthe old oaks at Jackson," or, to date further back and "cover accidents," sinceho used to run as tho candidate ot theold abolition and free-soil parties. Thefact is BLAIR has a life long habit oftunning, aud a Republican ticket with-out his name on it might be suspectedas spurious.

— Well, if it is satisfactory to theRepublieans of the district, especiallyto that large and intelligent portion ofthem who claim to lean toward free-trade or iu favor of revenuo reform »ndagainst protection lo monopolists, we havenothing to say. Sich is politics.

IN another column tlu reader willfind au article on "The Tariff," from theChicago Post, whioh clearly demon-strates that "protection" is for the mo-nopolists not for the people; that foreach dollar paid into the treasury as aduty on iron imported, the iron monopo-list! grab fourteen dollars—the Dutch-man's "ono per cent" fourteen times re-peated, the pound of flesh exacted bySHYLOCK increased to the goodly shareof tho victim's body. The Post wellputs it : "a herring for the treasury, awhale for the monopolists." That jour-nal also says, and says well : "Tha pre-tenso that the prices of food, or otherarticles that farmers raise and iron-ma-kers consume, are sonsibly increased bythat consumption, is a swindle upon thepublic." The way to coutinuotho swin-dle is to vote for Republican candidatesfor Congress, whose opinions are madofor them by these protected manufactu-rers, and whsoe votes are dictated by'themonopolists. Tho Republican partyhas inherited tho old Whig doctrine ofprotection, and tho man who claims tobe for revenue reform, a revenue tariff,or free-trade, stultifies himBelf by votingfor the BLAIRS, tho CONOERS, the

STOOOHTONS, the WALDROXS or any oth-

er Kepublican candidate. The recordof the six Michigan members brandsthorn the willing tools of tho protection-ists.

IN the Republican convention, Fourthdistrict, held on the 31st ult., at GrundRapids, Hon. T. W. J?*KKY was nom-

inated for re-election, receiving all buteight votes, which wore given to Hon. O.TOWIK, of Ionia.

In tho Fifth district, Hon, O. D.C'ONUEK was re-nominated on the 25th

ult., without opposition.

In the Sixth district, the Republicanshad a two day mill on Tuesday andWednesday of this week ; STRICKLANDwas laid out on the home stretoh, andDRIQGS nominated on the 36th ballot,/Thereupon, the telegraph says "tho con-entiou broke up in a row." Now, the[)emooracy propose to lust Ditiacs.

BXBOHSB says, mid it' BKBOHER don't

know, who docs ? that "the uttur iguo-ranee of fi.iainjo aud political economyamong our Congressmen ia appalling."And again : "With the greatest finan-cial problems biforo it, Congress is ashelpless as a gi'oup yf children over anArabic inscription" And with such"financiers'' in Congress as STOCOHTON

and STRICKLAND and CHANDLER, not to

prolong the list. Is such vila insinua-tion to bo tolerated ? But once more :"I ts legislation is a more chaaa of shredsand patches!" and this with such milita-ry logi.-lators and leaders as BANKS and

WE commend au article in anothercolumn, headed "Domooratic Unity,"copied from tbe Louisville Courier-Journal, to thoso of our readers who are soDemocratic that they lean over back-ward, who are determined not to forgetthat time and the war have settled tomethinga and changed the political issuesof the day, in short to the DeinocratioBourbous, who live in the past ratherthan iu the present. If the SouthernDemocracy need the advice given by theCourier-Journal so do those of ourNorthern Democrats who will persist iubeing chained to the body of a negro ora doad negro issue.

THE defeatod Iladical candidates forCongress down in North Carolina, aid-ed and abettod by tbe FoBNJIYS of theNorth, are making roady to coutest thescats of their successful opponents. Oloourse they are. If the angel GABRIELshould clianeo to be elected to the nextCongress some Iladical carpet-baggerwould claim his seat, and get it, too,that is if the Radicals shall muster aworking majority.

THE Chicago Post tabulates tho nextCongress, and generously concedes a netDemocratic gain of 23. The Post claimsbut two Radical gains, one in Kentucky,aud one in Illinois, neither of which isits party likely to make. On the otherhand the Democracy havo good reasonto expect a gain of two or three in Illi-nois ; but having the whole Kentuckydelegation now, can't wtll expcot manygains in that Stato.

WISCONSIN has 20,000 women in the

full enjoyment of their rights; that isat work in tha fields, for all the worldjust like men folks. Cau't the womenlecturers and politicians get their rightsin tho same waj—by stopping talkingaud goiug to work, at whatever theirIiandrf may 5nd to do. We wouldn't ad-vise field labor, but then we go for wo-man's rights.

TUB Holly Water Works at Jaoksonwero thoroughly tested and put in opera,tion on the 24th inst., giving perfect sat-isfaction to all parties. Tho total costof dam, engine house, engines, streetpiping, bydruuts, eto, is estimated atabout $120,060.

Democratic I'nlty.To insnro thorough organization thero

ni ist be thorough unity of spirit, expres-sion, and purpose between the Democra-tic ek'inems. North nnd South. Wu mustbo inspired by tho same sentiment, andthis must bo a national sentiment, Wemutt f=]iouk the same national InuguageWo must maroh in the nine national di-cctiou und under the same nation*] bao-

• mid to the same national music. Audtl! this must be u real and Dot an icle:ilaooordanoe ; no grudging ooneessiops;H> mental reservations ; no half-heartedfellowship, implying ono thing iu thoNurta ::nd ;iijothor thing in thu South,uid loo'.iiug, on our part, to tho accom-plishment of certain objttots whioh wodare not mention, lest thoy dofeat bothour picEO it uuiou aud our ultimate vic-tory. To \vi i wo count make ;t square5 Jit ; a bold aud an honest fi^bt. Noji.-:rty ever achieved nuccoss upon a mere-ly negative hostility to tho ciejd aud ac-tion* of its adversary, Besides criticis-ing Radical men aod measures, we mustput before tho ooun'ry apian of our ownaud it, is important thai this be distinct,Iy undo stood by all men.

It \\i,8 tlie i.egro question which di-vided the Democratic party in 1800.—Thus the negro qu stion not ouly con-solidates tho Republicans, but it has, itdoes, ar.d it alwa}8 will divide tho Dem-ocrats We must have dono with it.

On what terms?Ou terms which will satisfy the prao-

tical wnuts and actual condition of theSouth and the liboral men and life-lougprejudices ot tho North.

Is such a basis possible ?.Nothiug is more BO. It was not possi-

ble so long as the uegro was a elave.—Thero was an irrepressible conflict then.The existence of slavery rendered abreak up ot the Democratic party andtha disruption of the Union inevitable.The ablest leaders of every shade of pol-itical opinion saw this loug before thewar. The war has altered not only thoface but the nature of tho controversy.It was not our interest to eduoate aud el-ovate the slave. I t is our interest to ed-uoate aud elevate, the freedman. If wedo not take the matter into our handthe negro will become the viitim of pol-itical emissaries, disguised as pedagogueswhfiHo business will be to organize dis-turbance, whose mission the extensionand tho inflammation of the agony of theraces. We must turnibh him SCHOOLS ortlie Radicals will furnish him INCKNDI-ARIKS. We cannot afford to neglect himto turn him over to the enemy ; and, re-lieved from Federal interference, we caneasily cultivate him, and, at the leastrender him harmless. Thus, whilst Becuring his vote, we shall secure thepeaccof society.

This social peace, based on eduoationlaw and order, is all that the fair mindof the North demands, aud, as it is pre-cisely what we waut ourselves, we canmakd the negro question a bond ofstrength whoro it vvaj only a bono ofcontention.

On all other points we are agreed.—The music of the Union can be made aspopular iu the souih as it is in the north ;only it must be the national music of the"Suir-Spanglod Banner," and not thopartisan ana sectional music of '-JohnBrowu's Body."

About measures of tariff, finance, aud,above all, local self-govern'iient, we shallhave no trouble. I t is the misconcep-tion of tho negro problem which givesus disquiet, aud it can only bt its mis-treatment which will givo us reason tofear the result.

The true method, as sketchod above,teems to us to bo very simple, and to re-alize at once the practical necessities oithe country and tho cluinis of that pro-gres.-ivu, humanizing aud Christianstatesmanship on whioh every great par-ty must rest its appeal for the support ofa free and intelligent people.—LouisvilleCourier-Journal.

The Prussians have not yet talunStrasbourg, Metz or Paris, but heavyfighting is repotted near Beaumont onTuesday and Wednesday, and the defeatof MCMAHON with great slaughter.—Foreign intervention is hinted at, butpcaco is not yet.

TUB Democratic Congressional Con-vention in the Sixth district was held atFlint yesterday. Judge SUTHERLAND,of Sagiuaw, was unanimously nominated.The Democracy of that district proposeto take off tho hide of DRIGGS—his po-litical hide we mean.

IN THE Lonatorial race which recentlycamo off at Grand Kapids, the lumber-ng barque W M . A. HOWARD got a shot

>otween wind and water, no blank car-ridge eithor, but a genuine BALL from\ trim and clipper-built FlBRY-boat,irmed and equipped for tho spocial ser-vice. In less figurative language, andor information of the uninitiated, we

may explain: Hon. P . L. B . PEIRCE,

iresent Senator from Kent county, andcandidate for re-election,—a HOWARD

man,—was beaten iu the Radical countyconvention by BVRON D. BALL, who fa-

ors Hon. T. W. FERRY in tho U. S.

Senatorial oontest, and not tho enrpet-,agging land agent of the Grand Rapidsnd Indiana Railroad, who declined the

China mission to become tho western can-didate for Senator. Ominous.

I N TUE liillsdale Democratic County3onvontion held on Saturday last, the

delegates were instructed to ask thenomination of Gr. V. N . LOTIIROI>. A

jotter selection could not be made, audhe Democraoy of the First district

would do themsolves and the Stato a fa--or by nominating Mr. LOTHROP and

ilecting him. He would rauk bead andboulders above any man Michigan hasent to Congress—either House—sincehe Radical party came iuto power.—

Dou't let Mr. LOTHROP say no, but put

him on the course.

TUE Democracy of SCHENCK'S dis-

rict hare pitted Hon. L. D. CAMPBELLgainst him. Wo suspect that a betteran might have beon found with whom

0 beat the "hero of Vieuna."

B Y tho last census, taken iu I860, tbepopulation of Paris was 2,150,196, atwhich time there wero resident there34,273 Germans, 33,038 Bolgians, andover 50,000 other foreigners.

J . V. JOHNSON, editor of the Char-

lotte Argus, has been nominated forCounty Clerk by the Democracy of Eu-tou County. Wo hope that he may roverse that 1000 majority, aud win.

lYapoIeou Proclaims Again.La Meuse coutaius the following proc-

lamation to the army, signed by Napo-leon, on the 13th iust:

SOLDIERS: To-morrow will be thel-ith of August, that anniversary ofyour triumphant return to Paris afterthat glorious campaign which decidedthe destiny of Austrian domination inItaly. Ou that day, as after your Cri-mean victories, all Franco welcomed youwith enthusiasm, aud Europe, dazzled,saluted you as worthy sons of thu grandarmies of the First Empire. To-day,however, Prubsia dares to iuvado thesacred soil of the country. She launch-es agaiust you a torreut of men, whoh:ivu surprised your valor and for themoment triumph over your indomitablecourage. Let us march again to eu-couuier them. Soldiers, at Jena againstthese 6111110 Prussians so anogant to-day,your fathers fought as one to three;—again at Montmirail, one to six. Is anyamong you inflamed by that excitingmemory, lot him set an example to allFrenchmen. The Saxons, tho Wurtein-burgor^, the suldicm of the Rhenish ex-ooufederatiou groan at being compelledto lead their arms to the oause of Prus-sia. They know what little respect thatpower has for the rights of peoples.—After absorbing millions of llauoverians,Danes, and Germans, she will not hesi-tate to absorb the remains of SouthernGermany.

From ' 'our own" Correspondent.STATE 3I1MTAKV E.YCAHPHEYT.

The Porter Zouaves of this city, in accordance with the order of Governor B;ikwin, took the 7 o'clock, A. M. train on Ftday, the 19th ult., for the purpose of takingpart In the Encampment at Slocmifs Island. Tiny were received at the depot b;the Detroit Light Gtaard, nnd were by thenescorted to the steamer Dove, when botlcompanies embarked for the Island, arrlving there at 13 o'clock.

A Buer location could not have been selected. Immediately upon arriving theyproceeded to pitch their tents, but beforeit could be completed a heavy rain stormset in that lasted about two hours, thusgiving the boys a good taste (if camp lifton the start, but in spite of the storm thecamp was soou ID order and the regulairoutine of camp duties began. Capt. B.R. Porter being in comman 1 of the battalion issued an order fixing the daily work,us follows : Reveille at 5 o'clock A. U.;—Koli call Immediately thereafter ; Breakfastat 7 o'clock ; Guard mounting at 8 o'clock;Drills from 9 to 12 ; Dinner at 12 ; Dapperat 0 r. M. ; Dress parade at 0 ; Tattoo 9 ;—Taps 9-30, which was strictly adhered to,the camp being conducted strictly in accordance with army regulations.

The Adrian Liirht Guards, numberingabout 4.0 men, joined the battalion on Sat-urday evening. They are a newly organ-ized company, and only received their armson the day they came into camp. Theyare a fine appearing bjdy of men and willundoubtedly prove an excellent company.As they had left home on very short noticethey were unable to stay the full time, butleft on Tuesday morning, being escorted toTrenton depot by the b.ittaliou.

On Wednesday morning the CincinnatiZouaves, who were on a tour, arrived atthe camp, aud were received by the battal-ion with all the military honors usual onsuch occasions. Thev are a line appearing body of men, finely uniformed anddrilled. They wore escorted to the campby the National Guard of Detroit, who intheir neat uniform presented a flue appear-ance.

The original programme was that thebattalion should escort the Cincinnatis toDetroit, and there parade; but when theysaw ho\f pleasantly the camp was situatedthey decided unanimous!}' to remain incamp, much to the disappointment of alarge crowd iu the city who were anxious-ly awaiting their arrival.

After dress parade in the evening theCincinnatis gave a specimen of their drill,consisting of fancy movements, skirmishdrill, etc., all of which were very finely ex-ecuted. The next morning they took thecars for Toledo, expressing themselves asbeing much pleased with their reception.

The life in camp was varied by manyscenes that will long be remembered bythose participating, as bright spots in theirexperiences. In the evenings huge camp-flres, music, ai:d dancing served to enliventhe scene, and make the time pass only tooquickly away. Quite a num ber of the De-troit Light Guard -were accompanied bytheir wives, who were provided for in a"Corral" built for that purpose. They con-tributed much by their bright smiles andpleasant manners to relieve the monoto-nous routine of camp life.

The P. Z's participated In two games ofBase Ball while In camp, both ol whichthey won ; the lirst with the,Adrian LightGuards, by a score ot 57 to 30, and an in-nings to spare; the second with the Cin-cinnatis by 20 to 8 In six inuloga.

Camp wus broken on Thursday at 12,o'clock, the battalion embarking on thesteamer Dove for Detroit, where they parad.eel through soma of tlie principal streets,halting at the Armory of the D. L. G.Where the companies broke ranks and dis-persed for an hour when they again "felliu,"' the Detroit Light Guard escorting theP. Z's. to the depot, when they took thetrain for home, arriving at 8 o'clock, r. M.

The P. Z's are nude* many obligations toMr. Slocum and family for the many atten-tions and favors shown them.

The Porter Zouaves have by their sol-dierly deportment, drill and discipline du-ring the Encampment shown themselvesto be equal if not superior to any conij anyIn the State ami Well merit the support andconfidence of our citizens. Iu everythingthat goes to ma^e up a first-class companythey are :xeelled by none, and only needthe proper encouragement to make themequal to any In the country.

Isothermal* of (he Lake Region.Professor Winchell read n pupor l;e-

foro tbo Association of Modern Scienceat Troy last week. Tlio paper embodiedthe results of careful and prolonged ob-servation at various localities in therpgi:>n west of tho great Likes as far as

Tlie Professor used in tlieillustration of t h ' subject nine isother-mal charts fur several ot tbo summermonths, aud winter, autumn and ppriny;year mean minima and extreme minima.The Professor indicated the wonderfulchanges in temperature caused by thegreat hikes in the contiguous country.Tltn cooling influence, Bcienco attestg, iaexorled chielly on thewest side of LakeMichigan and the warm on the east;whicl] ; again iipan tho prevail-ing wind •> in summer along tho shores oftbo lake from the east of the meridianin summer, and west of it in winter, InJuly, for example, tho cooling influenceon Lake Michigan dcflcots the isother-mah 110 miles, whilo to the west of thelake they aro deflected 400 miles, InJanuary, tbo mean temperature on tbeeast side of the lake is from four to sisdegrees higher than on the west side.Tho isothermnls for spring show a marked cooling influence exerted on the westfide, and those for (he autumn a warrn-ius* influence on tbe ejiet side, tbo jointeffect of which i8 to render the growingseason six to thirteen days longeron theeast sdi) than on ihe west sido of tbelake. Tbe most marked effect and theino«t surprising is felt in times of extremeweather, especially if cold. The isother-mal of moan and cxtremo minima runalmost literally north aud south alongt^e-slsoro, of Lake Mioaigan. Tbo mostexcessive cold at Mackinac for a periodof twenty-eight years is not on theaverage greater than at Fort Eiley, inKansas, 480 miles further south. AtChicago it was one degree less foreleven years. Tho i^othermals of Iheyear might be expected to show noresultant of lake influences. Oo thecontrary, it demonstrates wonderfullythe wavering influences excited on theeast side; this because the liquid tem-perature is above that of ihe contiguousland. (Several causes »ccount for the

\ increased heat of tbe water. Tho gre:itdiplb of the lake (900 feet) is sufficientto secure 18 degrees of iucieased temper-ature from the earth's heated interior.This, diffused through tho waters of thelake, would result in an equal and averageelevation of temperature sufficient tocause t.ie phenomena witnessed in thetemperature.

Base Origin or BritishThe beginning of the British aris-

tocracy dates at the time when Williamthe Bastard, Duke of Normandy, ofFrance, overthrew tho Saxons at thebattle of Hastings. Tho Conquerorpossessed himself of the entire kingdom,and thus took place one of the greatestproperty revolutions ever known in.Europe, At one fell blow the rights ofevery Saxon were annihilated, and theywere treated with nearly as little respecas were the serfs of ltussia in moremodern times. William the Conquerorand his officers, in stealing the fineestates of the Britons, appended to theirtitles such looal names as were sug-gested, and thus nrose tho nobility.

The English peers of the present day,who do not trace their lineage to someofficer of William the Conqueror, derivetheir titles by tho favor of William'ssuccessors, the kings of England. Amultitude of causes led to this favor.Some peers are descended from theillegitimate children of tho monarchs;for, although "aristocracy" is a compound Greek word, signifying "the gov-ernment of the best," and good birth isdefined by Aristotle to be "anoient(long-inherited) wealth and virtue," yetwo doubt whether the most barefacedAmerican politician of our time wouldcommend to office such scallawags asfounded many dueal lines in England.I t was a frequent custom for tho sover-eign to give a husband an office, a title,or a rant of land, and tuko his wife fora mistress. This was the case closedown to the reign of Victoria. Dukes,n grade higher, were the fruit of inti-macies between the king and some notres.i. Many families wero ennobled forlbiiiiary service, for opportune loans ofmoney to the king, or as mere rewardof good company in the king's "sprees."

There nre about 550 peers or nobles,and as a class they are such s:iphe;ids iopolitics that they have lost nearly all in-flueuee in legislation. Tho House ofLords never preteuJs to resist any realdemand of the Houso of Commons andllio people.

"OUR OLDEST FORTKBM "—Under thrititle, Old and New, for September, givesa minute chronological history of Foi tIndependence (now so calhd) in BostonHarbor, origiofl'ly built ou Castle Islandi j 1634. Tho following extract reoallsone of tho instances when this fort wasof historic importance:

In 1705, "the Castle" logins to appearas the one place where tho Engl s iCrown was suro of its authority.

The stamps, by which a revenue wasintended to ba rawed from the Britishoolonies, arrived in the harbor of Bostonin September, 17G5, and wero lodged forsecurity at the castle. The vigorous op-position in America to this stamp-act,having prevented its being in any ii»stance carried into execution, soon prc -cu.ed its repeal. In thejeourso of thefollowing summer all the stamps were re-turned to England

TIIH seeds of disunion were first sownn 17C4, by the stamp-act : and, from1768 to 1770, were from like oautei ad-vancing to maturity. In the contest be-tween Britain and America, tho mother-country could not show more obstinacyin forcing an ilW'pal revenue than thecolonies perseverance in urging and de-fending their rights. Massachusettsstood first in the arduous conflict. Boa-ton wns the cen'er of attack and resis-tance, and Castle Wiliiam a key to begrasped by the strongest hand. Whilethe public mind was agitated by the midunderstanding of Gov. Bernard with thelegislature of the province over which hepresided, a vessel belonging to Mr. JohnHancock was seized, and placed underan armed guard, by the officers of theCustom Houso. The commissioners ofihe revenue, Messrs. Henry Hutton,John Temple, William But eh, CharlesPaxtonand John Robinson, wh< se rulewas very offensive to the peoj 11, andwho, in the recent irritation of the in-habitants, had been insulted by the pop-ulace, retired with mo*t of their Bubor-dinates on board of ••The Roiruey" imn-of-war, aud then tnnk sl'ell<rat the Oas-t!e. An asuraooi af erw r ls given fromBoston, that they were io u.> personaldanger, did uot alleviate their apprehen-sions. They assembled all the kingsvessels mound the island, and causedthem to be moored in situations to resista regular attack: they represented tothe ministry iu England their uncom-fortable residence, and the interruptionof their duty; and, wbeo thev had ob-tained the protection of the military arm,they ventured Io town. Before the ex-piration of the year, several men-of-wararrived from Halifax, and between fourand five regiments of regular troops lookpost in Boston. Of these the G5th wasquartered on Castle Island. From thisperiod we may date tLe British relianceou force.

Mixi:r> MEDICINE.—The veneruble DrSlop, of Mad llablit , was a doctor ofthe experimental and eclectic school ofmedicine years ago. I t was a rule ofthe Doctor's never to have anythingwasted ; and therefore, when auy pre-scription remained untaken after tho pa-tient had died or recovered, lie wouldempty it in a bottle kept for tho purposethat became the receptacle of a hetero-geneous compound tliat soieuoe couldnot analyze.

A younger member tf the faculty noted this us a very singular faot, andasked of him the reason for it. TheDoctor heei:ated a little, and then re-plied that, though in oidinary ca es heknow well what to do, there were in-stances when all medical ?kill failedand he was floored with doubt. A t suchtimes it was his custom to resort to thisbig bottle, and leave nature and acci-dent to accomplish the cure.

"And will you believe it," said he"some of my mosj brilliant successeshave resulted from it ?"

A P T QUOTATION.—Once upon a time,Lyniao Beecher ami Hopes Ballou metto compare Calvinism and Universalism.Both were Bible men, and came armedwith textile missiles. After#several apos-tolic blows from each, shrewdly parriedby the other, Dr Beecher openod to theninth Psalm and read :

" ' The wicked shall be turned intohell, and all the nations that forgot God.There, sir, the wicked are io hell ; getthem out if you can !"

Hosea Ballou, calm as a summermorning, pointed to the 20th chapter ofJohn's Revelation, and read :

" 'Death and hell delivered up the deadwhich were in them.' There, said Fath-er Ballou, ' they aro out ; get them inagain if you can."—Niw Covsnanl.

A JAPANESE HOUSE.—Is a convenienthouse in .many respects. I t consists atfir.st of ono entire apartment. Then mov-able or pcrmauent screens ara placed inposition or thin walls are put up, so as todivide the bouse into guch rooms as theowner may wish. These of oourse he canchange at aDy time without interferingwith the structuro of tho main buiiding.They have no chimneys, for they Deverhave a firo in a private house except ina little movable sand-filled box, whorethey boil their tea and warm their handswith ignited charcoal or fine pieces ofpine wood. During the late war in thiscountry many officers and privateswarmed their tents by this plan.

ONE HUMDKKD YKARS AGO.—Wecommend to our lair lady friends thefollowing law passed in England in 1770,just a century ago : "Any person whoshall by moans of rouge, or of perfumes,of essence, ot artificial teeth, of falsehair, of cotton Espagnol—whatever thatmay be—of steel stays or hoops—thecrinoline 1770,— of high-heeled shoos,or of false hips—enn such things be ?—entice any of His Majesty's malo sub-jects into marriage, shall be prosecutedfor sorcery, and the marriage shall bedeclared null aad void."

Work is about being commenced onthe Pacific Hotel in Chicago. It will oc-cupy an entire block between Clark, LaSallo, Jackson and Quincy streets, anarea of about an acre and a half, with afrontage of one hundred and eighty-sixfeet east and west, and three hundrod andtweny-five feet north and south, and willcost nearly $1,000,000 I t is expectedthat tho structure will be opened forbusiness by January 1, 1S72.

The new Grand Central Hotel at NewYork, which will be opened next Mon-day, is claimed to cover more area thanany other in the world, has been twoyears in building, cost over $2,000,000,and can acoommodate 1500 guests.

The amount lost by the United StatesExpress Company by the robbing oftheir safe on the Missouri Railroad a fewdays since was 818,000.

Mrs. Colgan, of New York, wanteda quick fire for her ironing and usedkerosene as a persuader. She has goneto her reward.

According to Gladstone the wealth ofEngland increases §500,000,000 everyyear.
