Paris Correspondence London Times.
II the object of Mr. Stevens (the "Head
Ceutre'') in coming to Paris was to attract gene
ral attention to his cuute or person, it has
proved a failure. Some j ears back tnis would
not have beon the case. He would probably
have been admired ol the faubourgs, and the
lav 01 i'l guest in democratic banquets. His
portrait, or what purports to be his portrait, ap
pears, indeed in the Monde ItlwUre, in a lew shop
window f, or in a kiosk of the Boulevards, and
his name has been mentioned two or three times
in the chronique ot one or two cveniug papers.
But lew stop to look at tne portrait, and
few read the eossip. The Fiench pronounce
the word 'Fenian" as tLey do "Faineant," and
appear to attach the same meaning to both.
Now, 'Faiueani" means a lazy, gooJ-for-noth-ing
person, and no Frenchman is flattered by
such a designation. A writer who declares that
he spent gome hours in his company a lew even
ings ago "ut the bouse ol an illustrious academi
cian, who decired to surprise his guests by the
presence of one who at thin moment causes such
difiquiet to the English Government," tnus re
lates his impression. He says;
"The evening I saw him bo was elegantly
dressed, observing, throughout, a modest de
meanor; wuitine to bo uddro-ued bofore speak
ing to any one, and answered all questions put
to' him in a simple and natural maimer. Wneu
asked lor details as to hiB arrest, his imprison
ment, and his plana, he said: 'My arrest took
flace because 1 wished it. For many hours
knew that the police were on my traces,
and it was my pleasure to be arrested, in
order to prove that I could escape with
the gieatcbt eas-e. While in prison I
was treat'd with the utmost regard.
I wanted for nothing, aad in this re
ppect I cannot too highly praise the English
Government. But it was absolutely necessary
to depart. I had expressed my desire to do so to
a pcreon of whom I was sure, wnh whom an un
expected circumstance put me in communica
tion, and the prison doors, so to speak, sto d
open before me. I don't know whether any one
meant to stop me, but around me I saw only
accomplices.' 'But once out of prison,' observed
a listener, 'how did you rnanirie to leave Ire
land!" 'Once outot prison I ded to the CDun
try. Money and a revolver were given me. I
then heard that a larce reward of 40,000
was ottered lor me, and that any one who
discovered nic was to bring me to Dublin, dead
or alive. I remained up to" the time of my gel-
tine on board ship, in the country, living during
the dsy in a hut, and going out at night to reach
another. In every place where I took refuge I
was well known. Indeed, 1 wa3 e.vpcted there.
Ko' withstanding the large sum oli'eredbythe
liis-h Government lor my apprehension, uooody
veiiturcd to inform aeainst me; and this single
feet pioves that Ireland waa at my disposal.'
'And now what are your plaus?' 'lam going

sand men who are expecting me, aDd I will
return with them to deliver Ireland, my coun
try, lrom the British yoke.'"

Opposite Franklin, Texas, on the Rio Grande,
is situated the picturesque and beautilul town
ol Paso del Norte, at present, or at least when I
lett, the headquarters of President Juarez, where
he is surrounded bv bis Cabinet, staff officers,
and abcut three hundred soldiers. The Govern

its orce large and powerful army exposed to
many privations.
This army ot patriots presents to the world a
bublime, sympathise, and noole aspect, right

publican institutions. Tuer country invaded by
a numerous mercenary soldiery, backed by one
ot the most powerful natioas if the earth, this

urgent solicitations lrom the Americans on the

such acceptance, for he baa never vet during

The mail route has not as yet been re-established
since the close ot the war. We numbered about

"British Mchkum, September 21. While resid
in in Cairo, In 11818, when the cholera was raging
tliere, 1 Was iuioriued that an Englishman in a small

fect cure in every case ol that disease which he had
an opportunity ol treating. 1 no nuniDer oi tue coses
was sixty-two, and many of them wore very malig

treatment bad been prtotised with equal sucoeis in
Spain, Constantinople, and India, aud was useful,
lu many caaei, when tne cholera itself bad beeu
subdued by other means. Unon applying to him, I
received the tollowlng directions, whioh I practised
in a few cases, which afer wards occurred in my
house, and elsewhere, with invariable success:
"It tbe patient have not vomited the poisonous
matter which is a characteristic ot the distil e, aud
which resembles rice water, giro a tablospoonful of
powdered mustara in a tumbler of cold water; as an
emetio after the vomiting (whether produood by the
disease or bv theaoove means), 10 grams of powdered
capsicum (Cayenne pepper) si irred up in it. 1'his
generally produces alinoat immediate relief, and
within an bour rest, persplraHon, and s eep. In a

of the brandy and capsicum alter bait an bour or
more. A second halt dose va never required, bit,
should it be required, it may be given. No Other

When he visited Texas lost fall, not a single

The Railroad Question -Letter from Air.
C'lymer.
The following letter was addressed by Mr.
Clymcr to a committee of citizens appointed by
a meeting neia in uuaron, Aicrccr county:
Kkadikq, April 12, 1863. lientlemen: I have
jam rcooived your letter ot the h insi. . sik ng tho
Question: "Whether I am or am not in avorof
uuikinp a general railroad law by the .Legislature of
iuih uommonweaitn somownat similar to tnat exist
ing In the noigliboring staie of Ohio?"
it, alter the repeated and peisistent efforts made
by me during a long servioe In ihe senate to soou re
tho passago of a general railroad law my position ou
tbatquestioo is not undei stood, 1 tear that no.hing
1 raav now say will more fully demonstrate it.
1 have been, am now, and will oontiuue to be in
if.vor of a general, free railroad system lor this
State, similar io thai of tbe States ot Ohio and New
Vork; believing tbat capital should ever be permit
ted, undor proper restraints lor the protection of
piivate property and the rights of individuals, to
develop any and every seotion of this State witnout
let or hindrance.
Until the people of tills Commonwealth establish
this system many of the richen and fairest portions
thereof will, tor halt a century to come, be deprived
of those means ot dt ve opmont and inter-comtnuui-cation
to which at all times they are entitled, and
without which their stoi ta ot iron, of ooal, ot lumber,
aim of oil will be use ess and unprov able, not
alono to their owners, but as wo1! aiso to tbe whole
peoplo, who are unquestionably most deeply lute
ratted in their prompt development and produotiou.

The New York Trfjune this morning says:
"Money on call Is 4(fj5 per cent., with more
demsnd, In commercial paper no change,
l est fell at 6Afr7, and second grade at 8;.
Long paper is not popular, and cash loan are
more in lavor than ever. The notl'ica'lon of the
Set ie;ary of the Treasury of a reduction of in
terest on temporary deposits from six to five per
cent, after May 15, and the refusal of any do
positn except ot gold, insure s'Ul cheaper rates
tor call loans, a further advance In Government
stocks antl securities generally. The season,
and the public ODlnion alike, oppose long engage
ments for capital, and Incline people to specu
lative operations."
By a recent decision of Judge Nelson of the
United States Circuit Court, delivered at Albany,
th capital of a bank is declared to be a fixed
and not a fluctuating amount, and cannot be
altered except by legislative authority. The
surplus earnings of a bank are, therefore, not
taxable as capital, the more particularly as a
distinct tax is levied on surplus earnings by the
National Currency act.
A call has been issued for a National Con
vention of Railroad Presidents, Chief Engi
neers, and General Superintendents of all the
railroads of the United Stales, to be held at
Philadelphia, July 4,1806. The call is largely
signed, and among others by T. W. Klnnard,
ot the Atlantic and Great Western, A. 8.
