"Well, that Is rather odd, and what the end of
it will be I can't make out," says the , reader.
"No more can I," says the writer, "for in Lon
don the grotesque amounts to 's fascination; and
of all the odd plates in creation, that city is the
oddest where if you go to the left ybtere right,
and if you go to the right you're wrong;" that
is, when you drive or go on horseback, be
cause the rule here is not "turn to the •right - ,
as the law directs," but turn to the left. If you
ask an Englishman "why 2" 'he replies; "We
always like to have the whip side of our horses,
and, turning to the left, we keep a look-out on
the right side." 'That is certainly true, and not
only of your own horses, John, but any other
man's. King Theodore's, for instance, at the
Crystal Palace. He is mewed up in an inclo-
Imre about fifteen feet sqgtare, and a shilling extra
will admit any ,, one who is curious to see this
trophy of the Abyssinian war. To say "mewed
np" is to use an. English expression:7Btables
are unknown in London. They are all called
"mews."
Where a million of pounde is paid for an acre
ground, mews are seartiVon private property.
The consequence is that corporations or associa_
dons purchase or rent the ground, build the
stables, and each parish or district is furnished
with a boarding-house for horses, price accord
ing to the size of the apartment occupied. Now,
don't sneer, reader; please remember this article
is partly on the odds of London, and the differ
ence in the size of horses is as great in
London as between a Newfoundland dog
and a Mexican Chewawa or pocket
dog in America. For instance, on
Hyde Park a family of seven, the majority being
grown people, father, mother, nurse and foot
elan and three children, will come trundling
along in-a basket coach running - onfottrwheels,
all the same size, being about two feet and a half
In circumference, the size of the back wheels of
our children 's velocipedes,with not two but one,
little dump of a horse, whoisn't 4 Shetllnd pony
nor a donkey, but one of a breed of English
horses reared on the principle of a dwarf pear
tree, for quality and not appearances. --A tough,
heavy, shaggy, - obstinate little animal, whoie
speed and strength are like John Bull's love of
Ilinghlnd, never questiOned.
Presently the Princess of Wales comes dashing
along in a baronche so high that a small pair in
stairs is necessary to climb into it, and a pair of
magnificent horses, whose tails are over a yard
long; withOnt' comm near' the ground, carry
this melons burliest_ Aiontpalsige„ to l'aris ..„ li tit
'VW - contrast Ilia not` reached 4 elliTUrr yet! IF
your imagination is quick enough, catch up
the little 'horde arid- little carriage Ititli,a b g
family in it, and jest as you get to the Mar e
Arch, the Oxford street entrance to /Lytle Park,
you will see a long line of Flatfish horses, high
as an omnibus almost, and nearly all of thetu
elute, with immense bushy fetlocks and rough
coats, drawing on a balance . cart great blocks tif
granite. Of course they stop just before the
gate, and- one horse is sure to stand directly in
the left drive.
What would you feel like doing in such. l
a
position, reader, with the full knowledge that a
good dinner was waiting at home for you and an
appetite somewhat sharpened by your dririi !
John Bull, seztior,rnaketino atittabont it, but gii,
tug 'taught spur away go pony, carriage, mother,
nurse, footman _anti_ the three rhibb-Pil right
under the big horse and come out all right on the
other side, without grazing his big legs with
either side of the carriage! Some young Americttn
who has "done London" may say, "I latow all
about big horses in London; I went to
the breweries and know how they grow
horses!" That is quite another thing. The
strong horse described above was Flemish, an lin
portation. The immense, smooth-coated, fine
Looking brewery , horses are not strong. They
are fed on malt, and get puffed up, and get beau
tiful silky coats, but if they are wounded by any
accident their blood is so poisoned" by the inhale
ration of the fumes from the brewery vats that
they die of gangrene. The same is the case with
the men who work ititthe brewery.
There are, of coursB,strong English cart hors
bred, but they are not so large as strangers are
fed to suppose before they visit England. The
medium sized carriage and riding horses
are fine, but the French horses fire
much prettier. Some persona have the mistaken
idea that London Is so immense that, compara
tively speaking, there is no end to it. Bat he
city of London has an end at Temple Bar, that
divides the Strand and Fleet street, or cityi of
--Westminster, from the city of London. These
two cities and thirty-five other towns form one
vast metropolis, called London, just as Smith
wark, • Kensington, Spring Garden and the city
proper used to be called Philadelphia, but were
not one Until the Consolidation, some years
ago, when the grandilluminatiOn of Philadelphia
gave evidence of- - the people's satisfaction.
Such an event in London would not
only be a matter of importance to the'people,
but save her Majesty the Queen some trout*.
For instance, if she enters "the city" whicli is
. governed. by the, Mayor . .of London, she niust
ask permission of that descendant of Whittington.
On her approach, the gates of Temple Bar pare
immediately closed, though never shut at any
other time. An officer of the Queen goes to the
gate,. knocks loudly, and it is opened by 4 the
Mayor's orders. Then the key of the city is or
• mallY presented:to the Queen, and shegoeson:er

_This London Press on Thaddeus I,
agervens.
The Star'thinks that ie *recent times no man
probably exercised so commanding an influence
upon American politica as Mr. Stevens. It says:,
In all that appertains to the reconstruction of
the Southern States he has been the ruling spirit
of Congress. By great force of will, by the un
sparing use of invective, by a thorough know
ledge of parliamentary usa and by a deep at
tachment to the cause of human freedom, Mr.-
Stevend not only made Idnuielf the foremost man
in the Howie of Representatives, but succeeded
in• carrying through both• branches of the
Legislature a series of measures', which'
—whether his own name is destined to
live in history or not—will shape the *hole,
future of the American 'nation. Thaddeus Ste
vens had a bitter tongue, but its bitterness wax*
more keen because it was generally used against;
traitors and evil-doers. • His hostility to the South
was the natural consequence of his anti-slavery
op_inionli. ,TWenty years whem he first en-'
teAtil Congress as one of the representatives of
from -Pennsylvania, his 'voice' waSconstantly,
raised In denunciation of negro slavery.- It was
therefore, not surPriaing—indeed it was to his
immortal honor—that when the opportunity
occurred he resolutely determined to' give effect
to the opinioni-which heliad advotated daring
his previous career. The civil tvid political
equality now enjoyed by the negro race In the
Southern States is, in a great measure; the fruit:
of that determination. His financial heresies
will soon be forgotten; but this noble monument
of bis labors as the leader of -the Republican
party will survive even his own personal fame.
He died in harness, and after his work had been
fully accomplished, for although, his _impeach
ment of Mr. Johnson proved abortive, yet he as
completely defeated the .pelley of the President
and his athisers as if he had actually succeeded
in removing him from is exulted, office which
he has so unworthily till
The Daily News thinks that Mr. Stevens had
outlived his work, the principles for which he
stru:ggied having been established by IWelation;
and that he "was not the man for leadership in
reconciling times." The .Vezcs says : -
He' was more a revolutionary leader than
,a
statesman. He had that firm grasp of great prin
ciples. and that enthusiastic confidence in their
application which leaders of great national move
ments always possess; but ho had none of that
power to understand and appreciate a policy
other than his own, which is so necessary to a
statesman. He could never see that there might
be two opinions on great national questions—
those who were with him were for their country;
those who were against him were against
their country: He could not change with
circumstances, but played the crusader when the
crusade was over; and kept sounding the trumpet
of battle after the victory was won. For a year
or two past he has.been the stormy petrel of
politics. ' His weird" look, his wonderful energy
in triumphing over manifest physical decay, and
his excited oratory, made him , the most remarkU,-
We figure in the Howe of Representatives. But
Ids influence over legialation was but small, and
his sway over the popular mind had departed
from-him. His work was done when the battle
was won and the Congressional - poiiey firmly
established, and his departure from the scenes of
his triumphs will leave a personal void; but can
not be said to leave any importantplace unfilled,
either in - the' leadership ot, his party or in the
counsels of the nation.
The- Telegraph believes It in a great, measure
due to Mr. Stevens's _vigorousand persistent
warfare against slavery, and his fiery and, unre
lenting denunciation of tko,treason4 oll tbAt
sobers; Olt thellalia llerat larty was alibi '
conduct the war to a victorious accomplishment
orall the great ends at stake: - 3
From the day on which the defeat of Ball Ruhr.
first convilld the icalth.that the battle was Alf
hfe or death, Status and his colleagues began to
proclairit - the truth that the &nth coral} never he
(*.ribbed soJasig as war-Vans not declired againat
slay ay as as against the Confederacy.
Thetrine at itt F ' Sot. enunciation was
not at all nel=l4,-* • tvntbstanding the out
cry of theool *, li,airats, the Republican
"Moutitaln;" " - afailiff,.-ind 'lag friends were
called, kept on declaring that there could be no
peace 1511, the uneettliar institution", had been
abolished •Al the outiet. they were laughed et,
reviled as traitors, eondemned as fanatics; bin
they kept on their. Cato-like cry that Slavery
must be *destroyed, till atlastthe course of events
justified their counsel, and they found that Go
vernment and ,people _ were both upon their
s 1 e.
Just BO since the war; Thad Stevens's cry,
"The Commonwealth is still in danger," had
finally brought his party to accept -the doctrine
that democratic institutions must be established
in the South as well as at the North.' The per
sonal energy and talent of Thad. Stevens achieved
what Sumner, Wade, and Butler, without hipi,
would have tailed to do,'and negro suffrage was
made a tenet of the Republican platform. The
Telegraph estimates Mr. Stevens's personal char
acter as follOWs
There was something grand in the very ferocity
of his anger. He hated the Southerners as Cato
Sid the Carthage.nians, as _W%Blain 111. hated. the
French. Their friends• were his enemies, their
toes his friends. Extreme old age, failing strength,
and mortal pain never softened the fury with
which be hunted President Johnson down from
the hour of his defection. He-was neither goad,
nor wise, nor- generous; but in his time did
6ignal service, and, with all hla4iults, we may
apply to him that famous phrase,, , 4•That. Was a
[ban." With his' death 'we may fairly expect
wiser counsels to prevail in the Republican party.
The Standard finds Mr. Stevens animated by no
other motives than "hate" and "revenge," as it
might well do with such a misapprehension of
his character as the following: sentences betray:
Implapable In his hawed 01 every human being,
except a negro, who owned a Southern State las
his birth-place ; hard and cruel by nature, so that
a tale of misery or distresz was never known to
move him, he was exactly fitted for the -is rn
work which. had to be done by the ruling patty
1 4
during the civil war. -* • 0 *:' , Sumner for
nearly twenty years, and Stevens for more than
thlrty, bad waged incessant warfare against tithe
Southern party ; and wlule one was smarting tin
der the personal outrage committed by Brooks
in the Senate, the other is said to have carriedhie
fondness for the' negro into his own home. When
the war broke out the hearts of both leaped for
j ay, - and - when it was brought to an end "revenge"
was Pr , only cry whick ___...... ever , came to their lips.

Noting cavaignae and Napoleon at the
sorlitatne General CavaignaWS
ilildossiSignals liar Son to Refuse the
[Paris titirust 18) Corresiondelice of London Timee.l
An incident occurred the:other day, during the
distribution of prizes to the best pupils of the
colleges and lyceums connected with the Univer
sity, which was hifildltuth&great hall of the Sor
bonne. The proceedinglavne of much solem
nity; it is held annually,-at the commencement
of the vacationsvit.: invariably; attracts- a great.
number of spectators, among whom are sore
of the highest official' personages, civil alnd
an It Is presided ' over ^byhe
3dinister of Public Instruction, Who, in his capa,
city of Grand.blastekof the University pronounces
an oration antiplaced.; with his hand the
rowns of laurel °tithe heads of the lauerates who
'have obtained:the tnizegt in their respec
tive classes. Among the'youths - mho weremost
distinguished for ,Greek composition in the 4ec
.ond. class of lair c 9ll bol.(CharleMaghe) was ,the
son of General Cp - vaignac,-.,and the moment his
name was proclaimed,, which it,was on two rpc4'
essions, a 'burst' of applause- followed:, M. -
Durny, who, as. Minister,"preardiul, had hylhia
side_ the Prince- - Imperial, who'-appeani4 to
be delighted with thb whole_ procetaing; attenliod
_by his governoryGoterall-Frtisliard; and hls frt.
vate 'tutor. No one joined' tuorle_heaftily_ln the
applause bestotied-on'the - son of his old commie ,
'than the General, and blq example,was 'Wiled , .
by his pupil,. Young Oavaignac" was caller up,
by the,Minieter to receive the crown which he
held in his hand. The youth, who is, I believe,
fifteen years old, did not move from his place. A
professor of his college, thinkinp he did not
•
bear the summons, made signs to him to come
forward. Be hesitated for some time, then rose
from his place and made a movement as if to
answer the appeal; but at that moment a lady,
understood to be his mother, Madame Cavaignac,
half rose from her seat, and made a sign with-her
arm forbidding him to stir. Another burst of
applause followed, in the midst of which the
young man, who appeared much moved, and did
not seem to know what he had beat do, resumed
his seat. The Minister remained standleg- for
some minutes waiting for him, but as nobody
cam* forward toyeeelve the prize, as well as the
congratulations Of the Prince Imperial, be re
quested 'that "the pupil Cavaignac , being
obsent," the next'prize manshould be called lip:
This incident somewhat troubled the Order of
the
,proeeedings. Little attention was paid by
the spectators to the rest of the ceremony , and it •
became the principal topic of conversation the
rest of the day. The applause which was heard
within the walls of the Sorbonne was renewed
out of doers among - the young people,. and as
they grew somewhat tumultuous some arrests, it
is said, were made by the serving . de ville.
With my recollections of General Cavaignae
and my admiration for his conduct, I still, think
that the advice given to his son to refuse the ,
honors awarded for proficiency in his studies by
the head of the University of which he is a pupil
was not in the best taste. If it be °radation
to accept rewards of merit from the hands of the •
Grand Master of the University, 'it no less a
degradation to receive his education at a college
of the University, and not less so to accept the
degree of Bachelor of Arts and Sciences, because
the diploma le - made out •in the name of
the Emperor and is signed by his Minister of Pub
lic. Instruction. Among the many persons who
have been elected, since the empire, members of
the French Academy there are several who as
suredly do not cherish friendly feelings towards
the Emperor or imperial institutions; but this
does not prevent them from presenting them
selves in academic costume at the Palace of the
Tuileries to solicit his Majesty's approval, and
to receive, without displeasure, his congratula
tions, should he think proper to express them.
In the Comtitutionnel M. Boudrillart asks :
"Can it be the presence of the Prince Imperial
that prevented young Cavaignac from accepting,
like his comrades, his reward ? Such a preten
sion would be most strange. Poor young man !
Perhaps he has never been told that after the
days of June it was against his father's life that
all the attempts of the demagogues wore di
rected. Whosoever represents order in France,
whether his name be Louis Philippe, Cavaignac
or Napoleon, will be sure to have against him a
party-that has been - devouring-us for the last
eighty years—the party of anarchy, the enemy,
of liberty as of order, and the scourge of all
honest men."
The following letter on the subject appears in
one of the evening papers : 1
"I hope, sir, you will give the publicity of •your
journal to the following facts: Yesterday, during
the distribution of prizes at the Sorbonne, the

Young Cavaignac's refusal of his prize at the
floihonne, the other day, mast be an incident Te
eullarly disagreeable to the French Government,
as it Is quite distinct ••in its character from all
other expressions; pf ill-will, toward the Empire
on the part of its enemies. Opposition from all
kinds of men the Government has had to bear
often enoegh, but opposition from a schoolboy:—
ii is exceedinglyawkward. And the worst of; it
is the severity of :any:punishment that can be
inflicted on i the ;young collegian must necessa
rily be in; inverse proportion to the magnitude
of the affront he -has . put upon the imperial
patron of learning:, Frenchmen are sere to at
tach immense Importance to an act that seems Ito
spring from an •almost instinctive .repugnande,
and these of them who do not like. the Empire
will have no difficultyy. in .seeing in this solitary
recusant of imperial favors the representative of
young,Franee--the France of the future. The act
has already 'produced its fruits ; nearly all the
i,
journals.lm articles on it, and the articles of
the- Opposition have already
, given it a turn ar
nom agreeable. • The.Presse , 'will not attempt to
depict the_embrions,", with which young Cevalg
nne, at the bidding of his mother,..restuned
his seat. ' "The Olds of the soul , defies analysis
and discussituf; and - when this pride is associated
with the meMo ,m,of a Sean who was a great
citizen it is • entitled to the most profound re
spect." "It wasa great fault," says the ..linvial
de Paris, "to have placed the 401:18 of Napoleen
and of Cavalipmesatee to face, exposedto . die
plaudits of youth - who ever guard the souvenirs; of

Rome.
The Pope has bit upon a fineplan to sober
down his ever unruly Romans. In the year of
the Council he • intends to celebrate also the
"Year of the Jubilees" (Anno Santo), which on
account of his "absence in 1850 did not come to
pass. > This would be no joke. Al? "wordly'
amusements," such as theatres, concerts, balls,
&c.., would be entirely 'at an end during that
whole year. We wonder how the Romano would'
like that? „
The Auzeigir, of Mayence, publishes a letter
from a Pontificanonave, written in the name of
nearly 800, 0.2 7 / 1 /1118, hi* comrades, whop have;
been arrested. for attempting to desert their:
colors. The writer, alarmed,a; the prospect of
from three to fi fteen years the galleys, en
deavors' to Polity desertion by citing the lying
promisee *kWh attracted the Men: They were
promised, by the agent. tWo premiums, amount
in g to 56 francs, and 10 sous' pay daily, Instead
of which they had no premium whatever, and
got only three sous per diem not to , mention,
bad treatment, which made their position intol
erable. •
A letter from. Rome contains the' following:
"By here marriage With the Marquis de Cans,
Mite. Patti has become cousin to . M. de Pollens,
the famous ultramontane champion, and to
Mons. de Pallet's., the rector of the Apostolic
.Chancery, and one of our future Cardinals. The
noble std charming dira Is thus secured 'a place
in Paradise where her nightingale norm will, I.
am sure, effect miracles. Mile. Patti passed a
portion of her childhood in Rome, and the Mare
eras de flans was for some time attached to the
Embassy here,and left behind him pleasant sou
venire."
The Frontier Between France and
Spain.
The Pall Mall Gazette says:—M. Prevost-Para.'
del relates in the Debate how, after fifteen years
of contestation, the frontier between France and
Spain has at length been fixed. It might have
been supposed that the natural limits having
been clearly defined by the Pyrenees, the task of
drawing-- a frontier line between the two
countries would have presented no diffictilties,bat
it seems thkt every yard of mountain was con
tested, and the Spaniards in some instances
produced documents dating from 812, .or the
time of Charlemagne. On their side the French
were ' rather short of old parchments many
having been destroyed during the revolution, but
they are not dissatisfied with the treaty signed
on behalf of their government by General Caller.
31. Prevost-Paradof says _RAlE:interesting to flnd
that the Spanish villages annexed to France by
Mazarin at the- treaty of the Pyrenees are en
tirely French in feeling, and he concludes his ar
ticle by remarking that during the fifteenyears
occupied by these negotiations more than one
treaty, the result of force, has been signed and
violated. He hopes that the Franco-Spanish ant
rangement,peacefully conducted, will have a long
existence." „
IFires in Russia.
A St... Petersburg , letter, in the Nord, says
"Moscow is suffering from drought as well as
Fit. Petersburg; the woods in the neighborhood
have abso. been visited by fires; and so much so
that the streets of the 'city have for some days
past been filled with smoke." , •

during which interval it exhibited great varieties
with less activity; the third frOM, the 11th of
February to the present time, a period
of diminution, according to Painsieft, though ap
pearances and the daily - reports aretuch as to re
fute the hypothesis. "About the beginning of
this latter period little levet ; owed, and the im
pression was that the eruption was nearly over;
but on the 12th greater activity, which continued
till the 15th of February, was observed, the deto
nations were loud, generally it f the morning and
evening; some - stones were thrown out, and theri
comparative silence. ensued. Daring these two
or three days several "shockft of earthvake were
registered, and , the apparatus of variation was
disturbed. A few sublimates were collected on
the summit, but no; sufficient to mark the end
of the eruption. Op the 17th yet greater activity
was perceptible, and Its periodicity was _ con- _
firmed; Twice a day Vesuvius puts forth all its
energies, interesting equally the scientific and
curious.
"The guides of Vesuvius who reside in Resina
saY that in their town great shocks were felt,
sufficient to make their doors and windows
tremble. Columns of stones, they add, were
shot into the air at the height of three hundred
metres, something little short of nine hundred
feet. The lava,too,progressed considerably,forni
lug at the foot of the cone five different streams.
which poured over like cascades. On the 18th
the great cone began again to roar with con
siderable violence, and two shocks of earthquake
were felt distinctly in Resins, the very summit of
the coke fell in, forming by the'ebstruCtiOn of
'the material three craters, Whielf threw 'out
large qtrantitles of stones, and offered, as it
were, a magnificent display of fireworks. The
entire .cone trembled, too, as if shaken by an
earthquake, for four or five seconds, while later
in the day the lava forced an opening
in the direction of the Plano dello Gines
tem,' and' flowed onwards in a stream of
full ten metres in width. From this time to the
end d 2 the month the mountain has contlnuedlo
thundorouid to throw out masses of red hotlava,
Which, dividing into many streams; present. at a
distance a spectacle of great beauty. Frepent
though slight shocks have been felt at Resins,
and;indeed, other places in the immediate neigh
borhood; but they create no alarm, as the people
are so accustomed to their return. On the night,
however, of 27th there was one unusually strong.
It seems now to be confirmed that the volcano
acts under inner influence. In truth, the periods
its greatest.eruptions get every day about half
an hew later, coinciding with the 'evolutions of
the planet.
"I have only to note the nature of the mate
rials win& have been thrown out during this the
third phase. The ashes and the sublimates have
been in , small quantities, whidit, according to
Palmieri's own assertion on several occasions,
indicate that the druPtion is pot near its termina
tion. The sublimates which have appeared, how
ever, on the smoke-holes have been chlorure of
clipper and of lead, while the absence of chlonire
of iron has been noted as remarkable, although
on the ton of the cone it has been found united
with 'oligisto' iron., The concourse of visitors
is greater than ever." -
