The news columns of The Dispatch this morning are replete with indications that the fight for the Senate though in the nature of things a still hunt is to be a Btern one. Republican leaders at Washing ton and Democratic magnates at New Fork were engaged yesterday in framing plans for this post-election campaign. The Im portance of the object in view fully war rants the magnitude of the efforts pat forth to attain it The Republican activity is a highly satisfactory indication that the defeated leaders are undaunted and fully Rlne to their duties. The usefulness of a .Republican Senate to the nation as a brake on the possible impetuosity of the tri umphant Democracy is evidently recog nized. The Democrats are naturally striving to make their victory as complete as possi ble, but warning is given by the activity of their opponents that they will not be per mitted to exceed their lawful rights. On the other hand, there must be no opening left for the accusation that the Republican control of the Senate has been secured by other than perfectly legitimate methods. The people will insist upon it that neither party will be permitted to go behind the verdict of the polls. THE LAW AT WORK. There Is matter for public approval In the evidence which comes from layette county that after enduring the depreda tions of the CSoley gang for a long time she Is now putting an end to them. Hav ing got a portion of them killed off in the attempt to capture them, the rest of them are being disposed of by the courts, as was show n by the two verdicts against Ramsey yesterday. Of course it was inevitable that the usual arsenal of legal subterfuges and subtilities should be employed to prevent Ins punishment The too-frequent suc cess of the legal subterfuge in cases of no torious criminals is one of the most fruit ful causes of lynch law. But in Fayette county it appears that neither the elo quence of counsel nor the familiar resort to the alibi, lauded by the elder Mr. Weller, could save Ramsey from the pun ishment due for his offenses. The two verdicts rendered against him last week serve as notice that the profession of rob bery, even in Fayette county, is bound in the .fulness of time to reach a disastrous termination. It is to be hoped that this example -will be followed up until every law-breaker in Fayette is lodged in the penitentiary, and life and property made as secure there as is necessary to preserve the popularity or of that charming mountain region. THE APPEAL FBOM HOMESTEAD. That distress should exist at Homestead surprises nobody. The long struggle not only lost wages to that community but in many cases exhausted the store already laid bj. We can well believe that the cry for relief does not corns before the pinch of actual necessity has been felt As long as possible the men would naturally delay an appeal which might be regarded in some quarters as a reminder of their de feat But if there is any narrow spirit to regard in a critical light the cry of the needy whencesoever it proceeds, assuredly not at the threshhold of Christinas a sea son of peace, good will and abundant cheer will such pettiness of view be ex hibited. Relief for suffering women and children at Homestead will come prompt ly and abundantly as a -matter ot course. The Dispatch is glad to see that gener ous responses lrave already been made to the call for help. It feels confident that none of its readers could enjoy the bounteous holiday season as we trust all of them will if they felt that a few miles up the river there were hundreds of fami lies with tables or fires unfurn'sbed. To state the case is to insure that the re sponses will be quick and liberal. Let the Christian quality of kindliness and human feeling -shed most becomingly at this Christmas time a different and more gracious light over the Homestead situation than the fierce fires of strife and. vmdictiveness. ESTHETICISM asd commekce. Pittsburg cannot fail to be peculiarly interested in the article, published in THE Dispatch to-day, on the opening up of the Wsi Virginia coal fields. "While the detailed effect of this move on local in dustries cannot be foretold with any great degree of accuracy, it is perfectly safe to assume that the competition involved must lessen the price of fuel and that the cheapening of iron and steel production theieby involved will perforce be bene ficial to consumers who represent the greater part of the public. In the stnig gle between the Pennsylvania and South ern manufacturers the railroads- can hardly fall to reduce freight rates on ore to this neighborhood in self-defense. , But at the same time in this new and lmpor- " attire of commercial competition is ie more strong and irrefutable argument on behalf of united, energetic action In promoting the construction of the Ohio River and Lake Erie Ship CanaL As for the esthetic side of the case, the destruction of the beautiful for the en couragement of the useful will cause few sincere reerets in this day and generation. The aco is essentially one of utilitarian ism, and the American nation is the leader of the hosts that trample down aught that stands in tho way of commerce. A people that permits scenery to be defaced for mere advertising purposes will not find fault with an exploitation of Immense industrial value, simply because it mars the face of nature. A nation that at pres ent fails to encourags as it should a cultivation of the beautiful even where it does not seriously interfere with the pur suit of money will certainly not hesitate for a moment to applaud-the enterprise which blots out romance in the realism of business. . And indeed this is a case in which the greatest good of the greatest number clearly necessitates a disregard of estheti cism. But, notwithstanding that, there is a romance in modern life, a power in the rushing locomotive, a glory in the glare of coke ovens by night and a sadness in their floating palls by day that calls for a new poetry that will appeal more strongly to the minds of modern folk than any pas toral idylls can do under the circum stances of nineteenth century life. BEASSCBING INDICATIONS. The political news of the week-culmin-ating in Mr. Cleveland's speech at the Reform Club last night has been alto gether of a reassurine nature. The hopes which The Dispatch has expressed in Mr. Cleveland's strong conservatism have been strengthened. And the publication of his intentions as vouchedfor by one of his nearest friends has come as a signifi cant indication that the best interests of Pittsburg and this section of the country are not to be jeopardized by any radical experimentalizing with the tariff. It is reassuring, too, to noto that there Is room.for reasonable doubt as to the po litical complexion of the Senate. Should that body be found to have a Republican majority as now seems by no means im possibleit will serve as a most effective check upon any extreme tariff legislation promoted by the more ruthless wing of the Democratic forces. Republican control of the Senate while it might be a disap pointment for some ultra partisans woul$ properly used, prove an invaluable safeguard to the business interests of the country. A Democratic majority in both branches of Ooncress would of course be the fullest possible test of the newly victorious party's capability for constructive legisla tion, but the experiment might prove costly. And, on the whole, the nation not excludingthoseRepubllcanswhoplace patriotism before party will prefer con servatism and a continuance of existing conditions of prosperity to the risk in volved in absolutely deciding the fitness or unfitness of an unchecked Democratic party for the administration of America's affairs. A MEDIUSI FOB CHAB1TY. The article by Commander Ballington Booth, of the Salvation Army, which ap pears in another part of The Dispatch to-day, on the most effective way to make charitable donations, advances a very strong claim for his organization. Com mander Booth asserts that gifts for the relief of tho poor reach the objects of charity most directly through the Salva tion Army, not only because that organi zation goes right down into the slums for its work, but because its officers live on a dollar a week and thereby reduce the cost of charity to a minimum. There is no doubt that this claim rests on a strong foundation. The Salvation Army has demonstrated both in this country and in Europe that it can bring religious influences to classes which the average church organizations cannot reach With that starting point Its ability to relieve want with judgment and discrimination would naturally exceed that of organizations whose work does not bring them in such close relations to the poor. The plan of operations which the army is carrying out in England puts its work on a basis which tends to improve "rather than pauperize the poor. These characteristics entitle the organiza tion to a prominent place in the consider ation of givers for charitable purposes. Against these claims for respect is the criticism that has been raised in England of loose methods of accounting for the funds placed in the hands of the 'officers of the organization. The criticism would be a sound one, if well-founded, as the donors of charity have the right to know how their money is applied. But if the Salvation Army cannot furnish expert ac countants, as seems quite possible from its nature, the difficulty might easily be overcome. The funds could be placed in the hands of persons accustomed to rigid methods of accounting, and the money be paid out for tho relief of wnr, as the members of the Salvation Army should discover and investigate them. THE monometallic argument. A recent article in the Bevite des Deux Mondet presents the stock arguments upon which the menometalllstshaso their opposition to any effective action, in the direction of restoring silver to general monetary use. M. Cueheval-Olarigny.the writer of the article, shapes his thesis to the conclusion that there is no deficiency in tho supply of gold. To this end he makes rather dogmatic assertions; first, that large quantities of gold and bullion are kept idle in banks; second, that the fall in prices of late years is due to cheap ened and perhaps over production; and third, that the use of paper in the ex changes of the world does away with the necessity of a large volume of coin in circulation. These three heads which present the whole of the monometallic argument ad mit of an easy answer. They present tho peculiarity of mixing a certain degree of truths in a manner that produces a false conclusion. Thus it is true that the ex changes 'of business are largely effected by the use of credits and paper represent atives of money. Fifty times tbe.present stock of coin would not suffice for the needs of commerce if it were not for the use Of bank credits in business. Bat, to do this on a sound basis, a reserve of coin is absolutely necessary. To represent the coin and bullion held as this reserve as a surplus of idle money is close to misrepre sentation. The allegation that the supply of gold is adequate to commercial needs is easily answered by the fact that when Austria or Russia seek to increase their reserves of gold for their own purpose it is felt all around the world, and the New York money market reflects it in less tbfrn a week. If there was a surplus of any com modity in Europe the fact that a single country wants a little more of It would not drain the supply in this nation. So long as tire treasuries and depositories of the world most keep on fighting with financial weapons to maintain" their re serves, the assertion that the supply of gold is adequate stamps itself as a dog matic fiction. There is a little more foundation, and consequently more speciousness, in tho assertion that the decline of prices is due to cheap production.. That some com modities have declined greatly by the cheapness of production is correct; but to attribute a universal decline to universal cheapness is shallow assumption. In the first place there are many leading indus tries In which there, has been no such radical cheapening of the cost of produc tion since 1874 as is required to account for this decline In the next place, where the universal cheapening results in uni versal increase, tho shallowness of the talk of overproduction appears in the fact that supply and demand would balance themselves. The man who is able to double his production of wheat would want in exchange for it twice as much of all other supplies. If this increased pro duction went tho whole round, the increased demand for all products would very nearly keep pace with the increase of supply. , The commercial condition of the world, the state of its money markets, and' the statistics of the production of gold, all combine to show that the supply of that money metal has not Increased with the increased needs of commerce. Argu ments like that of M.-Cucheval-Clarigny subject the menometallists to the charge either of dlsingenuousness or stupidity. ELECTION ant term. A somewhat familiar agitation has just been started by the Philadelphia Times for the purpose of securing the early pass age of a joint resolution submitting to the State Legislatures an amendment to the National Constitution with regard to the election of President The proposal is that the President shall be elected by direct popular vote for a term of six years, and shall be ineligible for the term follow ing tliat which he has served. The fault with the proposition in its present form is that it proposes to unite in" a sin gle amendment two distinct proposi tions, one with regard to the manner in which Presidents shall be elected, and the other concerning the term and qualifica tion. Many people who would heartily suppoat the popular election might doubt the wisdom or necessity of extending the term or limiting the eligibility for re-election. Or, the difference of opinion might be reversed; although the lighbin which we first put it is the one which would strike most people. It is not wise to hamper one Important amendment with a nder that might defeat it, nor is it just to limit the ability of the Legislatures to confirm one proposition or reject the other. As to the .wisdom of making the election a popular one there can be no reasonable donbt The election is practically so now, except that the expression of the popular will is hampered by the electoral machin ery. The legitimate purpose of that ma chinery was defeated in the early part of the century; and could not in the nature of things be restored. The only effect of the electoral colleges now is to increase the trading and juggling to secure elec toral votes, and to stimulate the corrup tion in pivotal States. A direct popular vote would do away with most of the un favorable features of trading, fusine and passing special electoral laws which pre vailed during the late campaign. On the other hand the proposition with regard to the term and eligibility of the President presents entirely different phases of expedience and necessity. The lengthening of the term would probably be an advantage, one of the most cogent gains being in diminishing the frequency of national campaigns. But the amend ment making a President inelicible to suc ceed himself, is limiting the choice of the people in order to secure an imaginary cure for certain political evils. It is sup posed that this would take away tho in centive to use the Federal patronage to secure re-election. But the history of the last decade shows that this temptation has little influence in diverting a free expres sion of tho popular will; and .there are even clearer proofs that even if a Presi dent was ineligible, it would not prevent the use of Federal patronage to aid his favorite or his party. Against this absence of gain from the change is the fact that in the past sixty years exactly two Presidents have been elected to succeed themselves. While this demonstrates that the re-election of Presi dents is very infrequent,there is more conclusive significance in the fact that one of the two cases shows how such limita tion would have amounted to a national disaster. No one can tell when another juncture will arise like that which required the election of Lincoln in 1864; but anyone can tell by a reference to political records that nothing is to be gained by taking away from the people the liberty to ,act freely if a similar occasion should arise. An amendment for the elpction of Presi dent by popular vote ought to be submit ted and passed. But if the other proposi tion is to be urged, it should be submitted separately and accepted or rejected simply on its own merits. Populists are wont, in their public ut terances, to devote no slight amount of effort to denunciation of the older parties as bodies of professional politicians leagued together to promote private Interests with' out legard to public policy. How much easier it is to criticise the behavior ot others than practjeo its own doctrines the new party makes manifest by its avowed inten tion to coerce the Legislature of Kansas at the opening of Its session, by sheer force of arms. If so preposterous an intention to dery constituted authorities be persisted in, it can but result in gravo trouble for the State and serious damage to the party that so forgets all principle as to doty the laws which ore the great protection of individual liberty. "Within twenty-four hours of the issu ance of the official appeal for aid in Home stead, a freight car reached that place laden with substantial tokens of Pittsburg's gen erosity. Prompt and practical assistance of that kind is worth a deal of purely senti mental sympathy. The vigorous response made to the ap peal for succor for the needy of Homestead is palpable evidence that belief in the brotherhood of mankind is something more substantial than pessimistic cynics would have the world believe. The good work should go on until it I assured that the Christmas festivities of the well-to-do shall be marred by no thought of sufferings in other homes, tho relier of which is well within reach. Anything that can strengthen the love and consideration of man for his fellows, anything that helps to fill np the gnlf that yawns so ominously between that and this section of tho people, is a matter that cannot fail or something more than temporary alleviation, and must tend to strengthen the unity of this nation. Jay Gould's career is an excellent ex ample of what results from the too prevalent spirt- of the times. "Be honest, young man, and get oa in the world. But whatever you do, get on in the world." Fkesident Harrison is peculiarly per tinnclons in his support of a national In dorsement for tho Nicaragua Canal scheme. Such persistence on behalf of so poor a caass is unfortunate for the nation, and still mora bo for the reputation Of the advocate.

Carried to its logical conclusion, the spoils system is nothing less than robbery of the peoolo. The sooner the people awaken to th fact and abolish the evil the better for America. A Dublin drunkard, while under the Influence nr liquor, murdered his wife and caused bis child's death by flinging it into the fire.

It it is safe to assume that crow did not figure on the menu of the Reform Clnb ban quet last night Turtle soup no doubt was there as a highly appropriate dish for the anti-snappers. In urging the necessity for strengthen ing the German Army that peace may lie preserved in Europe the Minister of War came perilously near to issuing a challengo to any power in tho least inclined to fight European, armaments are rapidly reaching a condition in which war would prove hardly less economical than armed peace.

During a conversation yesterday in regard to matters which will probably demand the attention of the noxt Legislature, Mr. Hen sel said: "The Boyer revenue bill and the Baker ballot bill will undoubtedly bo among the Important matters which will re ceive attention from tho legislature. The granger element will no aoubt make an effort to Increase the mlllage on. cor porations to 8 mills. There has not been as much agitation .throughout the State, however, on this subject as there has been in other years. The large amount ap propriated by the Boyer bill for sohool pur poses has given general satisfaction, and in many locations it h as reduced the school tax materially Instead of merely increasing the expenditures, as it was feared might be the case. The money has been intelligently applied In the localities I speak of, and thence tho tax reduction. 1 here will, never theless, be a movement from tho repre sentatlves'fcr the agricultural district in the direction of the tax bill amendments. So far as the Baker ballot law is con cerned," continued Mr. Hensel, "there are a great many changes necessary in the law as it now stands, and I bavo no donbt that the Governor will call tho attention of the Leg islature to the need of these changes. There are many vague and unsatisfactory provis ions in the bill which, under ordinary cir cumstances, would have compelled an in terpretation of their meaning by the. courts. Fortunately, so far, there has arisen no complication which has been taken into the court, and there could be no better opportunity for the Legislature to more clearly define and express what is the'lntent and meaning of the act. This is particularly true as to the disability clause, the time for filing nomina tion papers and the objections to them and many minor points. There Is no doubt that the bill has, in the main, given much greater general satisfaction than was expected, and the anticipated drawbacks and defects have not been nearly as serious as it was feared they might be. For example, there was no. trouble in getting the vote polled in the large city districts, and there was but little trouble from wrongly markPd ballots. Indeed, we made a fine showing in this latter respect. Massachu setts, a State in which it has been thought tho standard of education was high, did not consider the Pennsylvania group plan was desirable and would not adopt it. The elec tion showed that the number of mistakes arising from ignorance or carelessness was incredibly latge in Massachusetts and re markably small in Pennsylvania. Still I think it would be advisable to adopt the Ohio plan of marking ballots instead of that in use with us. In Ohio when a man wants to vote the full ticket, except one man, he merely marks once for those he votes for and once for the man he cuts. "There is no doubt that the general plan will remain as it is, including an official bal lot supplied by the authorities and of uni form sizo and color, as well as the booth plan. It will be necessary to more clearly distinguish tho political party organiza tions to be recognized and to economize on the supply of tickets. At the lasteleotlon three times as many ballots as were needed were sent ont, and three times as many sample ballots. This amount will be re duced no doubt in future. So far as the disability clause goes, as it now stands, it Includes as disabilities many things from actual physical disability to mere ig norance. This Boctlon should be amended and the causes which will permit a man to take an adviser into the booth with him should be specifically and clearly defined and restricted. "iMYSELram hardly of the opinion." 'said Ifr. Hensel, "that real ignorance is a sufficient disability, with the opportunity given to prepare a "ballot outside and with the sample ballots, a man can readily vote as he desires. Ignorance is so readiy simulated and the simulation is so difficult to detect that 1 feel as though more safeguards should be thrown about tbe bill. Mr. Baker himself, the author or the bill, 'will no doubt take part in making the changes required, and so will many others. We have bfeon,fortnnate in avoiding complications of a legal nature so far, and it is a simple thing for tbe Legislature to give additional protection against them in the future by a remodeling of the bill this win ter." It teems that a false impression has arisen among a number of those who hold maturing Pittsburg bonds, as; to the city's Intention in regard to them. 'They have confounded Allegheny's intention of ex tending some of her loans with ours," re marked Controller Morrow yesterday, "and the result is that I find it difficult to buy np the water and street bonds which are due noxt ' April. These bonds to the ex tent of (450,000 becamo due in April and I have endeavored to get them out of the way by anticipating their payment. Very fow of them are held In Pittsburg, 90 per cent being in Philadel phia in the hands Of trust companies or In dividuals. 1 have been buying up othor bonds for the sinking funds, having taken in $23,000 worth yesterday at a good price from our standpoint. We have inoro than enough money in the sinking fund to wipe out the April Installment and 1 wish the people who have them could be made to understand that there is no hope of having them extended." "i AM up to my neck in building operations Just now," remarked Senator William Fltnn y ostei day. "I have 86 houses either under way or Just completed in and around Greenfield avenue, 30 more are under way on Negley avenue and 10 more on Soup's H11L I see you have been writing about the hillsides in Pittsburg and suggest that something be done to beautify them. It is a good idea, but it would cost a lot of money. One thing, however, is under contemplation by Chief Bigelow at present which will go a long way in the dlrootion you speak of. He proposes to open up a fine wide avenue along the side of the hill above the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks. This avenue would begin at Washington stteet and run along the hillside to Craig street at Shady Side. It wonld be a muoh needed drive way and would bo the most beautiful street in the city in the way of affording a view. It is a good thing, and I hope it will soon be carried out." Speaking of this new driveway sug gests Beechwood avenue, the 80-foot con necting link between Schenley and High land Parks. This street has beensurvered and planned as far as where it taps Fifth avenue,and on Monday next the otdinance locating the remainder of the avenue as lar as the Allegheny river will be introduced In Councils. Councilman, Warmcastle, who has spent a great deal of time and energy in behalf of this street, does not intend to let it drag now that it promises so well of public favor and support. InAVEneverteensomuch interest taken in a local political matter as is now apparent In regard to the Mayoralty contest. Mer chants, manufacturers, professional men, all moro or less unaccustomed to take a band in political battles are talking and acting to a degree I have never known here. Mere politicians will not be in it this time, and Bepublicanism and Democracy are merely names to the men who have made nn their minds to have a voice in the noxt selection of city officials. I doubt if any man in the oity conld be elected on the Bepnblicsn ticket if it was thought his nomination was brought about by the same hands and the same influences which bavo shaped the last ,two or three city tickets on the Republican side.

The special com mittee of the House on the World's Colum bian Exposition will probably be called to gether sometime next week to take up in earnest tho question of tho opening of tbe world's Fair on Sunday. There lsnodoQDt whatever that a strong fight will be made to permit tho gates of tbe Exposition to open on Sunday, and that the prospects or suc cess are at the least fairly good. Chairman Durborow, of the committee, is at present waiting to learn the wishes of the Fair directory before movlnir'ln th matter, and it is probable that word, will be received. as to exactly what they wish by tbe first or next week. Mr. Durborow has Introduced a resolution on thesubjeotln tbe House. An effort will first be made to take up and act on this reso lution instead of making tbe fight by way of an amendment to one of tbe general appropriation bills. The whole subject has been thoroughly discussed, so that mem bers know themeiits of the question, and nnless an effort be made to delay a vote it ought to take very little time for the ex pression of the will of tbe House to be made known. Ir obstructive tactics should pre vail, the apprODrlatlon bills will still be available as a means for forcing the matter to a decisive vote. THAT MONTANA STATUE.

Miss RtrssEix would have served better as a statue of a Scandinavian Juno or of uni versal maternity, but for the less emotional and more classlo character of Justice, Miss Beban's severer beauty is altogether prefer able. A'eto York Bun. Tux question of the honr Is: Did Miss Behan pay $5,000 for the honor and fame of posing for Montana's silver statue of Jus tice? and did Miss Russell have the first chance and decline to pay for the advertlse ment?

And while she must pay the tribute demanded by envy, what must be the sufferings of the artist who made this selection. Barritburg Patriot. PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOLS.

IMPRESSIONS PARISIAN. rWWTTXX Oa IHX Pt8TATCH.l IS ail the Catholic Churches of Paris, November 3, the "Day of the Dead," was solemnly observed. Perhaps the most beau tiful and Impressive service In the city was tho special requiem mass for the repose of tho sonl or the Queen of Wurtemberg, who died three days before tho annual Fete da Moris. She was Olgo, the much-loved daughter of Nicholas, the Autocrat, sister of the mur dered Alexander, tbe Liberator, and tbe aunt or the present Czar. To Jndge by the grave, respectful manner of the few Rus sians, who stood watting in the Boo Daru and the Rue Pierre 1b Grand for permission to enter, she seems to have had the gennine affection of her people too. The small but magnificent building was filled almost exclusively by subjects of tho Czar, all others being kept back until mem bers or the Imperial family and tbe Russian embassy were placed. Tor them, as ohlef mourners, seats were 'provided beneath tbe stately central dome, tbe body of the church, though thickly carpeted and richly adorned with gliding and frescoes, being bare of furniture. Here, facing tbe Ikonos tas or place of the holy Images, stood tbe worshipers in a solid mats. Scenes at Busslan Worship. There wss a remarkable difference be tween this congregation and that at the Madeleine on the previous day, at tbe serv ice of All Saints. Men predominated; many of tbem were gray-bearded, with broad shoulders slightly stooped; larger, hand somer, more-earnest and Imposing tban the volatile Parisians. A great number bore lighted tapers, and moved their lips silently, in accordance with the chanting of the priests. From time to time they crossed themselves devoutly, and, ata certain sway ing sound of the exquisite music, they knelt, bowing their heads elmost to the ground. The walls above, touched by tho fl tfnl sun shine of a showery morning, were splendid with Scripture scenes and texts In the strange Russian characters, brilliant with gold and many colors. One arm of the beau tiful cross-shaped church is shut off by the Ikonostas; the carved and gilded screen be ing also painted with figures of Christ, tbe Virgin and several Busslan saints. Through a door could be seen the inner sanctuary, in the center of which stood a lofty crucifix, surrounded by burning candles, and at tbe farthest extremity a large picture of the Savior in the attitude of blessing. Beneath the dome stood the 'arch priest, Yassllleff, and two other priests of the Greek Church, dressed in their gorgeous .robes of purple and black embroidered with silver. Recalled One of Vorestohagln's Pictures. It reminded me of Verestcbagin's famous picture, "Tbe Field or the Dead," where a Busslan priest and soldier, standing together after tbe battle, In the midst of a vast plain strewn -with tbe dead, recite this same requiem mass. The priests chanted, one by one, in deep musical'voices, andan invisible choir sang the responses. The unintelligible words became full of meaning as they swelled np fervent and Imploring, and were answered in soft cadences of comfort and benedlotlon. At one point three or four syllables were repeated three times, In a clear, ringing voice, like a cry then, with a quiver, the notes sank into a sweet, mourn ful murmur, dying away with an echo. Then more lights twinkled out, and the musio rose again, vory pure and high, seem ing to say; "So light our souls through the darkness!" The full beauty and significance struck me for the first time. The service ended at noon. Tbe Grand Duke and Duchess Vladimir, seated at the right of the altar, rose and stood waiting while a number of persons came to speak to them. The Duchess, a homely, pleasant looking woman, carried her beautiful right band bare, and the gentlemen who saluted her bent and kissed it very gracefully. Then they walked slowly down the lane made by the sextons to the door, accompanied by the Grand Duko Alexis, the Princess Mathllde, the Duke and Duchess of Leucbtenberg and several other quiet, sensible-looking people with distinguished names. The tapers were quenched and the congregation filed slowly out to find a light shower falling, the tears of the dead shed for the living, as they say when it rains on the Jour des ilortu f Getting Abont the French Capital. It is verv easy to find one's war about the streets of Paris, for every street Is labeled at arczy corner, and famous landmarks are thick in every arrondlssement. The Aro de Triomphe is ours, being very near the house. From each of the 12 avenuos that radiate from the Place de 1'EtoIle it looms up grand and gray against the sky, and it Is a splendid point of departure by omnibus, tram or volture for any part of tbe city. We usually go to the Louvre by the Avenue Frledland, passing in the Boulevard Hanss tnann the quiet green court and Chapelle Explatore, wbere rested tbe bodies of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette from tbe days of their execution until after Waterloo. Re turning, wb follow the long crooked Bue du Faubourg St. Honore, whore President Car not lives the tri-color over his carriage way and soldiers on guard in the street and try to realize what thecenturyhas wrought. It is almost impossible, napoleon, alive or dead, makes havoo with history. His tremendous reality overshadows all the rest, and makes ghosts of them. He seems to have existed before Charlemagne and to have survived tbe second Commune; to havo blotted out the monarchy of old, and to have so ordered things that neither kings, nor republics, nor his own weak nephew may leave a permanent tecord upon tbe page whore his name is inscribed. His Btatue Btlll stands upon the Colonne Yen dome, made of his captured cannon; bis victories still glvo names to the grandest streets of the city, and his name is still per petually spoken, and In a different tone from that of any other. "Hon Dieu," "Sacre Dieu" ono hears said with carelessness bur, never carelessly, "Napoleon!" As Pier repont says of his sod, "I cannot make blm dead." I have visited his tomb, and he seemed more alive than ever. Parisian Violets and Parisian Dogs. What an emblem for his followers to choose tbe violetl modest, unassuming; on, yes, but "It will return in tho spring," like Napoleon from Elba. I really think the most zealous republican buys violets some times in memory of him. Chrysanthemums are plentiful on the boulevards, being seas onable, but violets are omnipresent. I Saw an old woman to-day sitting by her flower stall, with a red bandanna tied over her gray head and a bunch of violets in her bosom. Beside her sat her dog, a white poodle, lionized, with fierce grenadier tnus tachas, and in his irizzled white bang, tied with white ribbons, more violets, which seemed to be beating his brains out at every bark. Dogs, too, are an institution in Paris. Not merely pruned dogs,suoh as we see at borne but fluffy creatures in ribbons and bells; smdoth faced ones, with long waving whisk ers and our distinct plumes on their rat like tails: others, clipped to tbe blue-black skin, with strips of curly hair left so as to look an elaborate harness of astrachan. "Yes," as Madam D tells us,"itis hard to believe that the ban Dieu had anything to do with tho making or tho dogs of ParisI" Paris, Dec 3, 1833. A PrrreBmiQ Giru No Extra Session Is Likely. A long editorial In yesterday's Phila delphia Ledger dealing with the question of tbe calling or an extra session, concludes as follows: "It is pretty sare to say that there will be no such early session, although one bogln ning in September or October would not be an unlikely possibility. But, should one be called in tbe autumn, it Is the least likely or all things that it will be called fo'r the urpose of promoting sudden or radical iglslatlon unfavorable to the business in terests or the country, a hose interests, both Mr. Cleveland's character and his post election utterances indicate, will not be disturbed by him in compliance with the demands of interested Republican oppon ents, or of foolish Demooratlo radicals.
