LETTER FROM •!Pmt.'s.
(Correspondence of the Phila. Eton'g Bulletin.) -
rA11.18; #riday, March 4, 11310.-As is often
the case just after the opening of the Lenten
season in France, we have:: fallen for the, last
few days into • a sort of social and political
torpor: There is literally nothing stirring, and
the natural consequence of the preceding ani
mation is a sort of exhaustive relapse into inac
tivity. The.debates in the Charober, after re
sulting lathe complete and final split between
the 3ldinisters and the imperialist remnant of the
old rnp t iority,of which I recently spoke,have had
a fey/ days' respite, to give parties tithe
to breathe, as it were, and recognize the
novelty of their new position. Society itself,
too, was so worn out with the rapid succession
of entertainments, especially those of an official
character, which were crowded into the last
week before Ash Wednesday, that there, too,
some cessation 'was demanded, and even the
jaded, votaries of pleasure themselves were
compelled to cry "Bold enough." Half the
business of official life here consists, at this sea
son of the year, in giving, fetes, which
are regularly provided and paid for, over and
above the salary attached to the office, by what
are called frais de reprisentation, or expenses
incurred in the exercise of public hospitality.
From the Emperor down to the humblest sub
prefect In a remote district in the Maritime
Alps, the Jura, or the Pyrenees, this duty of
"'representation " is incumbent upon all, and
is supposed to be " allowed for" out of the nit,
tional treasury. The Freneh Emperor can
certainly afford to be hospitable, if any one can,
with a civil list of 130,000,000,and all his palaces
kept in repair at the national expense besides.
Poor Louis Philippe was often:accused of being
"economical" in his ices and chp.mpag,ne. But
the ball-suppers dispensed by Napoleon. 111. to
his three, four, or even five thousand guests,
are profuse and even extravagant in their
abundance. The last of these entertainments
took place about a week ago. The crowd and
crushinto the supper-room, after their Majes
ties had retired, was terrific; and the
consumption of viands and liquors
something awful. There are people who
seem to go there only to feed—and to
drink; and dancing becomes altogether a

evening, or can hardly take place at all before
the "small hours " have thinned the over
gorged salons. The Prince Imperial, too, is
now beginning to " receive" in his own apart
ments. Two evenings ago he and a party of
his young friends got up a play, for which in
vitations, on large cards, in the Prince's own
name, were issued to his particular
favoritei3, among whom were not
a few of the Americans who had been his re
cent companions and instructors on the ice.
One well-known American member of the
Stating Club had the honor of being thanked
very handsomely by the Emperor for the profi
ciency his son had made under his guidance as
a skater. Who has taught his little Highness
to act as well as skate, I am unable to
say. Bat those who were present the other
evening assert that he delivered himself,
as Hamlet says, with "right action and good
emphasis," and greatly pleased his Imperial
parents, who applauded loudly as they looked
fondly on. The Prince is a nice-looking boy,
' and, now that a new and better chance is
opening before him, may make a good enough
" connstitutional sovereign" as times go.
And there 'can be no doubt (to turn from
such gossip as the above to more serious mat
ters) that a constitutional regime is now once
more fairly on its trial in this country. The
"old parties," as they are called, the "men
of the July monarchy," 'who have so
long stood aloof, are now rallying to the new
order of things, and giving in their adhesion in
all directions. Yon might see them at Count
Darn's ball the other evening, in every saloon
of the splendid Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres.
There they were—De Remusat, Casimier
Perrier (the son of the celebrated minister) ;
Odilon Barrot, Duvergier de Hauranne (the
man of the "banquets" of February
1848) ; all the old names, once more
coming out of their retirement, bepuse, as
Count Daru said in his late speech, " free in
stitutions have been restored to the country,"
and because " France is no longer under a
despotism." M. Odilou Barrot sits at the
head of the recently appointed "Decentraliza
tion Commission ; " and M. Guizot himself
presides at the Commission on University
Education. Ghosts of De Moruy and
Senator Troplong ! How can you lie quiet
in your graves and
~see these sworn ene
mies of Imperialism nice more occupying the
chief seats and high places of the State! It is
impossible any longer to doubt how great and,
ao far, pacific a revolution has once more
passed over the public policy of this country.
What used to be called the tran,Vormation des
youroirs has now been completely effected,
and that without a blow having been struck.
The mode in which the change has been oper
ated is so different from what has ever before
'taken place in France, that one is half tempted
to hope that the result may be as different
also, and that at last the long-wished-for solu
tion of " order and liberty" has been attained.
I think it probable that the permanent ap
pointment of M. Prevost-Paradol to the post
of French Minister at Washington may be de
layed some time longer. He has just accepted
a nomination upon the Education Commission,
where his presence and assistance will be
highly valuable, and which may necessitate
his presence here for some time to come.
The proposed action of the Roman Council
is beginning to engage the serious attention of
the new Ministers. The doctrine of the Im
maculate Conception. was a theoretical and
imaginative doctrine, devoid of any practical
influence on mundane affairs. But the doc
trines of the Syllabus and Papal Infallibility,
especially the former, attempt to lay the axe to
the very root of civil society as established in
France. They literally " anathematize " al
most all existing French institutions, and the
government is compelled to ask itself the ques
tion whether it shall continue to uphold, by the
national forces, a system which thus openly
attacks the national constitution.
—The first line of a hymn given ont at a
prayer-meeting so excited the curiosity of a
little girl that on returning home she asked for
an explanation ; the : line as she heard it was :
"'Mike Rimea a bird and long has been."
A. patient ingenuity , ;Ind an old hymn-book
solved the mystery. The original of the above
translation was:
"My crimes a burden long baai bee❑."

WILMINGTON, March 16.—Tbere were 47
,deaths in this city, during the', month of
.Feb
ruary—an unusually large number-40 'being
the average. Of the 47, 23 were children and
24 adults, and.of the latter 6 were between 60
and 70, 3 between 70 and 80, 4 between 80
and 00, and 3 between 00 and 100. The
month seems to have been an unusually fatal
one for old people.
The vestry of Trinity P. E. Church have
called Rev. Dr. Frost, of New Jersey, with
what result is not yet known. The church
sympathizes with the "High Church" party,
but bAs never indulged in any'eccentricities in
the matter of ritual. 'Bishop Lee, of this
diocese, belongs to the extreme "Low Church"
party, and would doubtless interpose his au
thority to arrest any tendency towards extreme
"ritualism."
An English woman and a colored barlittr
were married sometime ago in Philadelphia,
and are now living together in the First Ward
Of this city. Some of the DemocriCy are quite
excited over the matter, but it dogs not appear
that there is any way in which they can interfere
with the gratification of this somewhat singular
conjugal wish. k Another colored man married
a white girl in that. Ward some years ago, and
they were driven out of town, not by any out
rage, but by threats and petty, persecutions.
The singular feature of the case is that it is a
Democratic stronghold, and that in the first
case the girl belonged to cone of the most
bitterly Democratic families of the neighbor
hood.
The Democracy of one of the lower Hun
dreds held a grand pow-wow a few days ago,
and adopted a long series of resolutions, de
nouncing Radical measures in general and the
Fifteenth Amendment in particular, and re
solving, come weal, come woe, to stand by
their record as a white man's party. The
Democrats of this city hold a meeting this
evening, at which it is probable similar action
will be taken. - '
Francis D. Dunlap r a prominent Democrat,
and the President of the Delaware and Penn
sylvania Railroad (a proposed road from Dela
ware City to Pomeroy, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad), died of pneumonia, at his residence
in Delaware City, yesterday.
THE PLAINS.
Intestine Inflian Wairs--•Terrible Conflict
on the Yellowstone. •
PLAINS, March B.—Every few months we
hear of one of those terrible tr :edies of blood
among the Indians which makes one's hair . -
stand on end ' to read about. Last spring
twenty-nine Snake Indian went over the Big
HOrn Mountains to steal stock from the Sioux,
The stock was ,stolen, and the triumphant
Snakes were returning with a large herd of In
dian ponies, when the Sioux Overtook and sur
rounded them. There were three hundred
Sioux and only twenty-nine Snakes, and the
fight llasted all day. Only two Snakes—and
they 'riddled with bullets—escaped and returned
to tell the bloody tale.
In the dead of the winter a party of Sioux
attempted. to go through and join Spotted Tall
on the reservation near, Fort Randall. The
snow fell to a great depth, and the column was
compelled to halt. Provisions ran short, and
they pushed on toiling through the snow for
several days, until the passes presented msuper
able barriers to a farther advance. Then they
halted, turned their faces eastward, and at
tempted to return home. Women, children
and even men froze to death, and were .buried
in the snow. The mules, ponies and oxen were
killed and eaten, and only enough clothing car
ried to keep them from freezing. The warriors
were nearly all dismounted, and weak from
hunger, when their inveterate enemy, the Crow
Chief, heard of their pitiful condition. His'
savage heart rejoiced, and hastily assembling
his warriors,
he set out with a strong, well
mounted and well-armed band. In four days
he reached the miserable Sioux, and attacked
them. Without horses, and but poorly armed,
they could not hope to escape from their ene
mies. Silently they gathered on the hill-top,
and slaughtering the women and children with
their own hands, the warriors sang their.death
song and began the battle. Long waged the
cOullict, but at last the battle ended, and the
five remaining Sioux were captured and car
!ried home to be put to death by torture.
We now have the particulars of one of the
most horrible Indian tragedies that was ever
enacted on the plains. This time it is the
'Sioux who are victorious over the Crows. it
appears that some time in January a war and
stealing party of twenty-eight Crows started
over the mountains to prey upon the Sioux.
They all went on foot, expecting to steal upon
one of the camps,run off some ponies, and then
when mounted retreat into the mountains,
where, among the narrow defiles, they could
hold the enemy in check and make good their
escape. They had got well into , the Sioux
country, and were nearing a village;when sud
denly they came upon two young warriors who
were out hunting. The Crows saw they were
,discovered and made every effort to
head off the two. Sioux. One
they killed, but the other, though
wounded, escaped to the village and
gave the alarm. The Crows knew there was
no hope but to fight it out and sell their lives
as dearly as possible.- Selecting a high and
- rocky bill they proceeded to fortify - it on top
with a rude stone fort. Not long had they to
work, for the Sioux were soon seen approach
ing in battle array. Three hundred dismounted
and attacked the bill on foot. The Crows re
ceived their assailants with loud cries of de
fiance, and drove them back. A parley ensued,
and the Crows called to the Sioux saying," We
come here to be killed; come on now and kill
us." Six times the hill was charged, and each
time the Sioux were repulsed. It .was now
drawing near nightfall, and the Sioux well
knew that if darkness once covered the earth,
despite of every precaution, the wily Crows
would withdraw, and many of them make
good their escape. The case was
desperate, and the Crows on the hills mocked
and jeered, while their enraged enemies heard
in silence. A council was hastily called, and a
young Sioux chief made a fiery speech. He
said it was a shame that so many Sioux could
not whip a handful of Crows., blushed for
the bravery of his people, and hen in a burst of
enthusiasm raised his voice and cried out, "I
will lead you; come on who dares to follow
the Spotted Eagle." Over one hundred war
riors immediately volunteered to act as a storm
ing party. Several decoys and feints were
thrown out, and every effort made to conceal
the real point of attack. Meanwhile Spotted
Eagle with his band crept under cover as
near as possible to the fort, and ,awaited for
the signal to attack., At last it was given
and the column dashed up the hill. The Crows
swept the column with their rifles, but still it
came on. The stone breastworks were reached
and the fight raged band to hand. In attempt
ing to get into the fort Spotted Eagle was shot
dead. When starting up the bill he said, "1
shall be killed, but you warriors must go Into
the fort and avenge my. death on the Crow
dogs." Ills prediction was speedily, verified,
and twelve others fell with him._ The Crows
fought on until totally overpowered. Every
Crow was killed. Besides the twelve who fell
in the attack, five have since died of their
wounds, and perhaps as many as eight or ten
more will die. ..it is probable as many Sioux
were killed or modally wounded as there
were Crows. The Sioux engaged in this
battle were nearly all Uncapapas and the
Crows belonged to Iron Bull's baud. Severp,

leis not an uncommon thing to read or hear
satirical remarks apropos of the flood of books
that pour from the English presses. "Frivolous,"

means of judging of the mass of modern books
that they condemn, who are unduly addicted
to old authors and old books--in fact are bigots
in respect of the undue reverence that they pay
to what they call classical and standard works.
There are literary critics in England and in this
country, and wherever the species is found,
who look upon a new book as an impertinence,.
an affront, a stranger not to be'courteously re
ceived until it has . demonstrated itself
worthy of their fastidious approval: This
is not, we think, the spirit in which new books
should be considered. While many of them
are undoubtedly poor in matter and style, and
mischievous in their effects 'upon. readers, as a
whole they should be welcomed. Their appear
ance in great numbers should be hailed as a
positive and most gratifying proof of that in
tellectual fecundity and progress which are
among the best hopes of a. nation. Spain,
Italy, and other European countries of the
second or inferior grades produce but few new
books; while the presses of England, as well as
those of France and Germany, teem with fresh
works in every department of literature. We
take it that the • swarm of English books in
1869 should be accepteff as an evidence
of the profound moral, religious, politi
cal and artistic movements, which are
clearly manifested in, other way 4 in the social
and political and religious changes working pot
in the British Empire. They spring from the
same sources as the Reform Suffrage bill, the
Irish Church bill, and the other great mewfres
of improvement now engaging the attention
of the English people,
and many of them have
doubtless contributed powerfully to hasten the
triumph of those reforms. An analysis of the
classes of books indicates a better taste than
prevailed in former years. Theology takes the
lead, as it should, Making nearly one-fourth of
the whole list. Next comes juvenile works—
and it would be safe to say that these, with
but few exceptions, are not devoid of instruc
tion and interest, and are always on the side
of sound morals. An immoral book
for boys and girls is something
that wo have never seen, and we doubt whether
such a monstrosity exists. The worst fault of
juvenile works is that they are apt to_ he. loose
and inaccurate in statements of facts,and are not
always written in good English. But, still,
they convey a great deal of useful information,
and do much more good than harm. Novels
are decidedly in the decline, and it is predicted
by shrewd observers of the changing English
tastes that the orthodox three-volume form of
fiction will before long pass away—such pro
ductions finding their only market at last in the
magazines -and family papers. Education,
philosophy and classical literature, political and
social economy, trade and commerce, arts and
sciences, rtravel and geographical research, his.
and biography, comprise (in addition to
theology) the bulk of the long list—surely a
healthful sign. England mav well feel proud
of her literary exhibit for the year.
Vegetable Physiology.
M. P. Bert has addressed a paper to the
Academy of Sciences on the influence of light
on the sensitive plant (Mimosa inga). The
experimental method adopted by him con
sisted in placing the plants under shades of
colored glass. One was black, another white,
the remainder blue, green yellow and red. On
the 12th of October, 1869, he put a certain
number of these plants under these shades;
the former had all been reared from the same
seed, and at the same time, and were as nearly
as possible of the same height and vigor. The
experiment was efiected in the hot-house of
the Academy of Medicine. A few hours after
the commencement of the trials these semi
tires already presented different appearances.
Those under the green, yellow and red shades
had their foot-stalks and folioles erect; those
under the blue and violet ones, on the con
trary, had their foot-stalks nearly horizentaband
their folioles spread out. (The Mimosm have
their leaves similar to those of the acacia,
that is; pinnate, but a great deal smaller). On
the 19th, the plants under the black shade bad
lost nearly all their sensitiveness; on the 24th
they were either dying or dead. At the latter
date, those under the green shades were quite
insensible—they died on the 28th. Mean
while the sensitives under the other shades
ere perfectly alive and impressionable, but,
there was a great difference of growth among
them. These under the white glass had grown
considerably ; those under the red much less,
and those under the yellow were somewhat
less developed still; as for the violet and blue
they had remained stationary. On the 28th
the vigorous plants of the white shade were
ansferrcd to the green ono. On the sth of
November they had very - little sensitiveness
left; on the Oth, they had scarcely any, and on
the 14th they were dead. Those
.under the
violet, blue, yelloW and red shades appeared to
be thriving beautifully.—Galirmanes Memenger.

The New rwiliding Scheme.
Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania imported
into the recent debate in the Semite . on the
Funding bill something extremely rare and
much wanted in that body, namely, genuine
Snancial ability and a thorough knowledge •of
his subject. It is refreshing to listen to a man
who brings to the discussion Of :,the topic he
treats, knowledge and information which
spring fronran, intimate acquaintance with it,
both practical and theoretical. It is comfort
ing to know also that we still have material
iu the country of which .to make fiest.class
finance ministers; if we but kneW where to
look for it.
The bill, as it finally PaSSed, has good points.
Some of the worst ones, such as making the
coupons payable in foreign countries, were en
tirely" eiptinged. Another :very objectionable
feature, namely, the allowing the Secretary to
employ,br,oers to negotiate the, loan, nd ap
propriating 'the preposterOus sum of twelve
millions to gorge their pockets, was reduced
one-half. 'Yet the sum , left is so much money
Iflung to the.broliers for nothing except so much
.as it costs to print the new bonds. Mr. Bout
well, under the usual' inspirations attending
the passage of all such measures; seemed
afraid to break Away from the. custom of the
Department 'forced upon it' by the exigencies
of the wet.. A bolder -and more experienced
man would have throWn all "the'brokers over
board, and rnado - the Treasury do • its• .own
proper., vrork.'
A good feature of the measure is the privi
lege it offers to hold(irs of greenbacks' to fund
them in a four per cent. bond. Not that much
will come of 'it practically ; but it at least offers
-a decent show to the world of some kind of re
demption of the now wholly orphaned state of
that part of the public debt. The bill also offers
to everybody the privilege of banking 'on the
new four per cents proposed by it; at the same
time stipulating that all the currency issued to
Lew banks must be followed by the immediate
withdrawal of- just , so• , muCh. in , amount of
greenbacks. This feature ' was energetically
opposed by Senator ;Morton, who is the high
priest of non-contraction, and will meet with
wstrenuous hoStility in the house. ,
To show ho* near sensible men will come
to doing foolish things, a vote, while the bill
was in progress, was taken on the propesition
to, withdraw the' whole of the fractional cure
rency on the first of July next, and came with•
in half a dogen votes of being carried. Let-the
reader imagine, if he Pali, what would be the
effect of withdrawing' the whole of our frac
tional currency, with an unabridged, paper
culation, and coin averaging, onp year with
another, thirty odd per cent. premium. -The
measure has now to run the gauntlet of the
House, but with some modifications it will pro
bably succeed in going through. .
The bill does not bear in any way upon the
question of resumption or Inflation. Its leading
feature is to offer a W-40 5 per cent.. bond.
principal and interest payable in gold,.for the
5-20 II per cents., interest payable In gold, and
'the principal threatened with greenbacks. The
provisions °tiering 4 per cent. and 4 per cent.
will probably be wholly Imperative, except se
far as bonds of this quality can be forced upon
the banks. But the banking interest is very
powerful in Congress, as has been illustrated
In numerous and often surprising votes, and
may yet alter the whole complexion of this part
of the Y. Sun. .
Forty-first Conevesx..-Second Session.
The ;United Slates Senate, after the close of
, our report yesterday, continued the eonsideraf
tion of the Georgia bill. Mr. Drake offered ad
amemlinerit providing for the sending of troops
by the President to auy of the lately rebel
States, and the declaring of martial law
therein, upon the representation by the Gpvr
emir or Legislature that organizations exist
there for the perpetration of violence against
persons or property. Without action the
.Senate . adjourned.
The House of Representatives referred. the
Funding bill to the Committee on Ways and
Means. Mr. Butler, from the Reconstruction -
Committee, reported a bill for the admission of
Texas, similar to the Virginia' and Mississippi
bills, which was passed. The Deficieriey bill
was considered in Committee 'of the Whole
until a late hour, and was then reported for ac
tion. Adjourned.

In the House of Representatives, House bill
authorizing the Fifth and Sixth Streets and
Second and Third Streets Passenger Railway

visions of tbe 'Sixteenth, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth Wards was considered. The House
refused to Jay the bill aside for a second read
ing by 30 ayes to 50 noes. House bill, inflicting
a fine for failure to register property,was passed'.
House bill, incorporating the Citizens' Bank.
finally passed. House bill, vesting the power of
Receiver of. Taxes in. City Councils,
.was• amended , by Mr. • Elliot so, as
not to apply to delinquent taxes,

along Lehigh avenue to Thirty-third street.
Mr. Elliott: offered an amendment, that in
paving or repaving, hereafter done by Passen
ger Railway Companies in Philadelphia, it
shall not be lawful to repave any street with
cobblestones. The House refused to suspend
the rules to pass the bill to the second reading.
The House bill incorporating the Frankford
and llolmesburg Railroad--passed.
Reported Murder of a Woman by Her In
sane bon—A Horrible Story.
[ From the Sallebury (N. C.) Examiner. of 3f.ar0h9.1
A young man by the name of Rufus J. Rimer
was committed to our County Jail on. Monday
for killing his mother, Sarah Rimer. in this
tummy, on Saturday, sth instant. ilufus J.
Rimer, the murderer, is about twenty-two
years of age, and has always been considered
by his neighbors :as being partially deranged.
At any rate, his actions at times .were quite
singular. He is also subject to epileptic fits.
On Saturday morning he was at preaching, and
was noticed to be unusually irritable. After
preaching be went to a itighbor's house, still
manifesting much excitement, and his neigh
hots seeing something unusual about him, pre-
vaned upon him to go home. He went off,
but did not stay long, when, he returned,
and was again urged to go Lynne. He
went off to another neighbors, borrowed an
axe,with which he cut oil one of his fingers, ;
and returned home. It seems that lie and his
mother, aged about fifty-two years, were living
alone in the southern portion of Rowan. lie
says his mother, while wrapping his finger,
hurt hint, which induced him to kill her. . - He
first gathered a hearth-stone, which he threw
at her as she escaped out of the door. The
stone struck the door, when he again seized it
and pursued her into the yard and beat- het
brains out witluit: ; After he had 'completed
the bloody work, he built upa fire in the house,
took up his mother, laid her on it, locked the
doors and retired to bed. Sunday morning he
went to a neighbor's house and told them he
had burnt her. His neighbors not being able
to get any satisfaction out of him, proposed to
go hoine with him and see. On arriving at.
the house, they found the old woman, or what
remained of her,' lying in the fireplace almost
entirely burned up. R. J. Rimer was at once
arrested and committed as above stated.
