Wliv thtro is uo city in Hit; world where inoucy slips away faster tlmu it docs here, ! I...I .1...... :.. .... .ww..l r-C or.nnAi.lr uu mnol. ' for mere ''hoard and lodging" us in New Vork or any other American city. ; I am assured by u resident litre, who has made himself perfectly familiar with the. ways and means of Paris, that there are many gentlemen, ollieers under Government, lite rary uieu, titled men, auu men wuo move in the very highest circles, attending the most ani-tocratic parties, and being on the best footing with the best society, whoso entire ' and. the New,) coutains 14 books, 183 chup income in not $000 a year 1 On this they I ters, 15,0S1 verses, 152,185 words. dress well, uny .their real and buy their food, and often lay up money besides! How can they do it V To get an nnswer, you must take the facts into account which I have iust mentioned. Uy going up in tlio world, to tho highest floor ot tlio many dwellings built for tenants, you may get a turnished room for a franc (twenty cents) a day and even less. In fact many of tho lino iiouso9 on fashionable streets have upper stories where the poorest of the poor hiro lodgings fur a few cents per night.' But 1 an speaking only for the respectable class of people with very limited incomes. Iu the middle of tho forenoon, or as I have often seen them, at twelve, noon, and even Hftei wards, they take their breakfast; con sisting of bread and coll'eo orcoaimon wine. ThU breakfast uiuy be hud ut a decent res taurant for livo cents, or sous, aud it will be as much as a man requires. All over Puris there are restuui'smls w here a full din ner is furnished for. 40, or i35, or even 30 cents. For this sum you get a dish of aoup, two ilisiies of meat, breud, a dessert aud wiue. One mau, w ho was once a butcher, has established several restaurants, in vari ous parts of the city, and is prosecuting the experiment of feeding tho greatest possible number at the least cost and a fuir prolit. lie now tmoriuins ten thousand every day, uud ut some of his tublcs a good dinner may be hud fur less than twenty cents. I have not yet dined at any of these cheap estab lishments, but ns soon as my courage nnd appetite uie equal to the undertaking, I nin going through u system of economical di etetics, uud" will umke un honest report of the result. And even if we allow our friend with an income of SfoOO a year to indulge in the luxury of u room at two francs, a a dinner at two francs and breakfast ut ouo franc, he ia spending only a dollar a day and has plenty left to dress like a prince; that id to dress as a gentleman should. These figures are higher thau were given to mo, as the cost ofliviug ou a little in Paris, and indeed, I am afraid to put it as low as it was put to me. When Pat wrote home that ho had meat threo time a week in America, his employer asked hira if he didn't have it three times a dny. ,'Yis, yur honor, but don't you think I wuut to bo behived." 1 waut my ftory to bo buhwod, and there fore keep it, w ithin the HmiU of tho truth. Aud if the family do not wuh to resort to a restaurant for diui-or, ,they employ a truitcur, or petty restaurateur, to send them a certain number of dishes at a certain hour of the day, and this arrangement makes it nioro economical than to provide the same dishes at homo. This is creeping into prac tice in New York, and will become cmnuion ufter awhile. ' Dinner being over, Instead of sitting at their wiue, as gcntUjmeii are apt to do at home, thev throntr the cufea on the Boulevards autl tho brilliaut . squares of Parisy and, .with their collw;, or. ices, or a "little glass of liquor,'! pass an hour or two, or three, or more, a the cube may bu. This custom imparts to Pari an Aspect, iu the evtiug, entirely unique. As wo walk the gaynst streets at auy hour , from dusk to ii.i'di.ioht. and how much later I do not know, the sidewalks aro lined with men and women, few of tho latter compared with the number of men. cnioviufr themselves as if tho business of tho day were over, and now they would yield themselves to utter Man ilon nnd social enjoyment. It is really cu rious to see, 'as we often do, grey-headed and vnnerabla men. who look a if they millit be heads of families and heads of Civrnnratuiiis. solid, respectable, erave, an 1 good, mingled among crowd of jolly ri'i'u, yet all engaged in aippiog their drinks,,, and chatting, without noise or drunkeunesa, and quiotly retiring uen they are through. Co the Champs Eijmcs and jo other parts of the town it is common to connect a, concert of music with the cafe, lmr thniA are nulla distinct institutions from the Boulevard saloon, where Paris spends iu eveniutr.' when it is not at the theatre or ' : .1 i 1 ' . i tit . rv- ...i .. - - - I e 1 .

Women Voting In New Jersey. During the debate in the Senate a fow days ngo, on Cowan's amendment to strike out the word "male" in tho Franchise bill for the District of Columbia, inquity was made of Mr. Frelinghuyscn whether women ever voted in New Jersey.' II is reply ad mitted that they onco did so "in local elec tions." But the fact is that, for mauy years, women were recognized there as voters on precisely the amo terms as men. Lucy btone and II. B. Blackwcll, citizens of New Jersey, have tnado an investigation, the re sult of which is remarkable, and proves that previously to 1776 only men voted, but that, in 1770, the original State Constitution conferred tho franchise on "all inhibitanls" (men or women, white or black) possessing tho prescribed qualifications of '50 clear estate and twelve months residence, and this Constitution remained in force until 1844. In 1790 the Legislature, in an act regulating elections, used the words "ho or sho" in reference to voters. In 1797, an other act relntive to elections repeatedly designates the voters as "he or sho." In the same year, 1797, 75 women voted in Elizabethtown for the Federal candidate. In 1800 women generally voted through uk the State in the Presidential contest beiv: cn Jefferson and Adams. In 1802 a member of the Legislature from Hunterdon County was actually elected, in a closely contested election, by the votes of two or three wo men of color. In 1807, at a local election in Essex County tor the location of the county seat, meu and women generally par ticipated, und were jointly implicated in very extensive frauds. In the following Winter of 1807-8, the Legislature, in viola tion of the term's of the Constitution, passed an act restricting sulfrage to free, white, male, adult citizens, and in reference to these virtually abolished the property quali fication of 50, thus extending it to all whito male tax-payers, while excluding all women and negroes. In ' 1820, tho same provision were repeated and remained un changed uutil the adoption of the present Constitution in 1844. It thus appears that women and negroes possessed aud exercised tho right unques tioned under tho Constitution of New Jer sey from 1770 to 1807, 81 years, and that from 1807 until 1844 they possessed the right, but were arbitrarily deprived of its exercise 37 years more. This is. wo believe, a fact unparallcd in the political history of the world, and was probably duo to the strong Quaker influence in West Jersey, then, as usual, exerted in behalf of Equul Bights. New Jersey enjoys, wo believe, the distinction of having been tho first State which conferred upon all its citizens equal political privileges, without restriction of sex, or color. Acie York Tribune. 'l'ho Irecoy -vlilcli Makes Vouu .VI eu Ii-iiiikiu-i. Go with us to the public houses, where a number of young meu ure assembled. All is life and gaiety. A few among them may bo young and timid. They approach the coun ter, and wino, rum, brandy are called for. Ouo or two may stand back, nnd say, uo, gcutletucn, we do not drink ; please excuse us. Immediately the rest turn and begin to tauut their friends who refuse to drink, say ing they aro ufraid of getting "tight," of the "old man," and somo whisper uudibly, "Well, they are tucaii fellows; they aro atraid they will have to spend a cent 1" Hero you sec two very seusitive nerves are touched Courage aud Cleverness. Their bosoms swell with pride; .rather than bear these Uiugs of their companions, they step up to tho counter und join in tho revelry. Tho ice is now broken, the first great net of the drama performed. Others follow in tiutural order, until the individual who refused to drink at first, reels along tho public 6treet without shame. Such is the manner in which thousands of our promising young men are led away by a false ambition ; and thousands inure will follow in their path uuleas they lcaru the meaning of courage. We have in our mind a number of noble hearted, good-meaning men, who do not possess strength enough to face opposition. Bather than bo called mean they will follow up these habits of drinkiug uutil their appe tites become uncontrollable. We advise you, young men, when you are in company, aud solicited to drink iutuxicat iug liquors, to say fraukly an l (h-cidelly that you do not indulge iu such things, und you conunaud their respect, and tln-y will be forced to admit that your courage is suf ficient to bear ull their tuuuts aud not yield the right. Those who stem the tide always meet opposition ; but never despair press onward. Our ouly hope of rescuing tho race from this brutal, nlavisU passion rests with the young. Will you, young friends, have couruge, true, high and God like courage, to face this growing evil and banish it from our laud. . Something rou Skatkus. A couteuipo rary says ; We have a word of advico to young ladies who may go on a skating trip. Don't go with cotton hose and cloth boots, but put on woolen hose and high and heavy leather boots, well lapsed up to support your ankles and to keep your feet warm ; for no others are fit for use with a pair of skates. Go warmly clad, and carry an extra shawl or cloak, ami when you ceaso skating for a few moments, put the extra garment on, and lay it aside when you again commence skating. In this way you will avoid taking cold and war off chills, fever, coughs aud other evila arising from over exertion and standing ex posed to the. chilling blasts which sweep across our ponds during the winter mouths. The next important thing to be atteudod to, is to get a pair of good fitting skates, that can be securely fastened to the foot without producing pain or stopping tbe cir culation of blood, and all this can be secured by a little attention at the beginning. After skating a short time, loosen the straps of tbe skate ; and in cate a sensatioa of Dumbness is full, although you may not have beeu upon the skates but tea minutes, looseu the straps immediately, und allow the blood to circulate freely in the foot, or great injury may arise, perhaps the freezing of the feet. Great euro should lo exercised in this respect by new beginners. : We throw out these brief biuts for the benefit of those who bave not been accustomed to tbe beautiful and Invigora ting exercise of skating. . i . bkating will prove a beautiful and plea sant exercise,, provided-the above simple rules are observed otherwise a train of evils may follow which may result io lasting ip jury.

A story is told of an old lady who lived noar Rochester, who had never seen or trav elled on a railroad. Wanting to go on a visit to a small town a short distance from the city, she thought she would try ono of tho pesky things. So sho went to the ticket office,' carrying her reticule on ono arm and an old fashioned rocking chair on the other. She bought her ticket, walked out on the platform, put down her rocking chair, sat down in it, took out her kuitting and went to work diligently. Steadily sho rocked and worked, trains coming in and leaving as the car time came around. The old lady made no attempt to get on the cars, but kept knitting. . , The day drew to a close, and night came on. The last train was about starting, when tho depot muster went up and asked her if sho was going out. "Yes, sir,""rcplied the old lady. "Hadn't you better get aboard and secure a seat ?" said tho depot master. "Thank you, sir, I am very comfortable," replied the elderly dame. The train left. The master came round again. "Madam, I shall havo to disturb you ; it is late, the trains have all left, and wo must close the depot. Shall I send you to a hotel l" "Well," exclaimed tho old lady, dropping her knitting aud holding up her hands, "ain't the thing goiug to move I Hure I brought my chair from home so as to havo a scat on which somo pesky mnn couldn't squeeze himself. I've set here all day wait iu' for the thing to go, and here I've had all my trouble for nothing. I thought it was a long time moving. I declare that theso here railroads is tho biggest nuisance and hum bug as ever was I" and tho old lady, with bag on one arm and rocking chair on the other, gave a toss of her head and marched off iu high indignation. She mistook the depot for the cars, aud expected to travel in it. FoitTfSEs in the South. An Arkansas correspondent writes: Arkansus is not a de sirable State at present, and twenty-five years of freedom w ill put a new face on the coun try, aud investments ot capital may now be made to fine advantage.

He has produced this year over a thousand bales of cotton. lie says ho has not found the slightest dillicully in procuring all tho labor he has needed. Helms paid tho frccduien good wages, rewarded the fist class hands with extra pay, paid promptly and fed well. Ho says that many pluutcrs are obliged to send every year to distant places for hands, because they oppressed and defrauded their laborers, who caunot, of course, be induced to remain with them the second year. Wuy Peoi-le ao to Church. Tho mo tives which induce different people to go to church on Suuday, or auy other day, are very diverse, and in any particular caso rather difficult to determine. In tho words of a poetic correspondent, to go to spend an hour of idlo time, some to hear tho new organ, und boiuc to criticise the preacher. Some go to show their bonnets, some to see their fiiends, some to flirt. "Some go to gossip with their neighbors, and somo as a respite trom their labors, borne go trom an inward sense of duty, and some from an outwurd senso of beauty. Some go to church because they're made to, and Bonie go there because they're 'fruid to do otherwise, wo suppose. J Some go to sing, some go to sleep, somo go to gaze, and some to weep. But of all this mixed uud thronging crowd, joining in the responses loud, how many of tuein ot babbatu day, go there to near, to heed and pray?" Echo answers "Uow many?" Tho Itev. Mr. A vas more eminent in his day for the brilliancy of his imagination than the force of his logic. At oue timo he was preaching on "The Ministrations of An gels," and in the peroration he suddenly ob served: "I hear a w hisper!" The change of tone startled the deacon, who sat below, fro'u a drowsy mood, and spiinging tolas feet, he spoke: "I gites it U the boys iu the gallery." A Milwaukee young lady had her "cap set" for a "rather large feller," but failed to win him, when a confidant tried to comfort her with tho words: "Never mind, Mollie, there is as good fish in the sea as ever was caught."
