NEWS OBSERVATIONS.
: Friday eTening about 1,500 stu
dents assembled in the Latin Quarter
of Paris and marched to the Hotel
du Louvre, snouting: "Down with
Boulanger!" "Down with the Dicta
tor!" etc. They came into collision
with a crowd of Boulanger's friends,
ahd were driven into the boulevards
ifl disorder. Re-assembling, they at
tacked the Boulanger newspaper of
fices. The Boulanger paity following
attacked the students with loaded
st cks, acd many were wounded.
Finally the police separated the com
batants aud arrested a large number
of them.
? The House Committee on Labor
has decided to abandon the conside
ration in the House of a bill adjusting
the pay of laborers and mechaaics un
der the Eight-Hour Ltw, which was
left oyer unfinished on the last day
when the committee on labor were
entitled to the floor. In its place the
committee will report a bill on the
aame subject which provides that
whenever a laborer, workman, or
mechanic has been employed at per
diem wages by the United States
since June 25, 1868, he shall -bd paid
for each eight hours he has been so
employed as for a full day's work,
without any reduction of the hours
of labor.
A The London fost's Berlin cor
respondent Bays: "The truth is now
becoming known regarding he rumor
of the betrothal of the Princess Vic
toria" to Prince Alexander of B-tcren-barg.
The story was invented bv the
court, paity in con junction with gome
members of the imperial household,
in order to prevent Prince Alexander
from coming to Berlin to re enter the
a1 my, and also in order to excite p p
ular feeling against the Empress
There waa no question of a betrothal.
Prince Alexander simply wished to
visit Berlin, and it was the intention
of the Emperor to confer some mili
tary! honor upon him, to which
Prince Bismarck objected."
; Tan, both light and dark, cream
white, ecru, mushroom, pearl, Roman
red, all shades of yellow from jonquil
to deep saffron, and a very pale tint
of absinthe green are the tints most
generally used for the new French
fichu vestB. Th fabrics are satin
striped faille, turah, and s.tin striped
gauze, Bengaline, crepe lisse, silk can
vis, and China silk. They are fin
ished off around the neck with two
deep standing collars, one reaching
from the back to just undet the ears,
i he other fastened to and made of the
vest i fabric, made long enough to
reach under the edges of the collar of
the bodice, where it is fastened by
two hooks A short Figaro jtciet
suits these ves s better than the o di
nary jacket with lapels and shor
basques, and also with sleeves cut off
at the elbow, with additional loose
ones below matching the vest, thau
theisual close sleeve. A still more
fanciful arrangement consists f a
fionu gilet of crepe lisse, a silk or vel
vet jacket, with long points n front,
over, which is simulated by bands of
trimming a second jacket of the Figa
rq order, with pointed epaulets of the
same covering the top of the sleeves
The variations on this theme are end
less, but the above are the principal
outlines of a very popular style of
corsage.
i The following fashion points
have been cabled ovetv for the ladies
from Paris:. Several new wedding
dross ideas have burst forth. An
Indian crape, heavily embroidered in
w&ite boas, with pearls, has a deep
fringe of orange blossoms and seed
pearls. Tnere is no coronet of flow
era. i The coiffure is arranged with
pdarl pins, and the Flemish lace veil
is thus retained. The hai r is worn in
bandeaux a la viergt. Another peau
d sots, bridal robe had a second jupe
of silk muslin delicately wrought in
fine gold thread. Reboux has made
a complete revolution in capotes, it
remains to Bee with what success.
Instead of high trimming and ribbon
loftiness or aigrett peak she makes
a tiny cap bonnet, trimmed with rib
bons or flowers or plumes, bat quite
fUt and close i o the head. This is
this latest eccentricity of style. She
makes a fine rice straw with border
of crush roses, fitting neatly to the
hair, the whole tied on with a fun
ction of point d'esp it. Virot still
remains faithful to the light, airy,
trembling nothing?, towering high,
arid her favorite colors are queer
greens. Tne Tosca hat of the first
act is now the approved shape for
round hats. The cluster of plumes
in fron , the loog end float it-g behind,
is"; not adopted by many. Another
is to make sti a capote on one side
arid nothing but flowers on the other
This is the best time to make the
first and main plan ings of most kinds
of annual forage plants. Let no far
mer place Bole reliance on corn, fod
der and oats, but add one or more of
the well-tried soiling crops. Millo
maize, Kaffir corn, cat-tail, sorghum,
collar ds, forage corn (Indian) are each
add all good. As a green food that
is highly nutritious and productive
and generally relished by every ani
mal on the farm, including the genus
hdmo, we speak in praise of liie old
Georgia collards. We believe ff hogs
are fed liberally with them through
out the season, cholera will be a very
rare complaint. Among the later im
proved hog crops, the particular vari
ety of peanut known as the "Spanish"
peanut has mit with almost universal
favor. It is early, productive and
very easily cultivated and harvested.
The Southern farmers ought to pro
dace every pound of bacon and lard
consumed in the South. They can
produce it at less cost than in the
West. Our farmers will never be
come prc-perous until they realize
that good farming true farming
necessarily includes the home produc
tion of the staple foods necessary to
carrying on a farm. Southern Culti

Washington, April '26 Senate.
Among the bills reported from com
mittee and placed on the calendar
were the: fol'owing: To provide for
the enlargement of the dimensions of
the wharf at Fortress Monroe; appro
priating $35,000 for as equestrian
statue of l Gen. Zichary Taylor in the
city of Washington.
Mr. Ingalls gave notice that on
Tuesday next he would submit some
remarks in reply to the speech of
Sena or Voorhees of yesterday, in
which he! would touch upon : some
points omitted by that Senator.
The' Sehate then ouk up the land
forfeiture; bill, and was addressed by
Mr. Palmer in opposition to all
amendments affecting lands granted
to the State of Michigan for railroad
purposes : by the Governor of that
State and: deeded to the L ike Supe
rior Ship . Canal Co.
Mr Dblph followed in a speech
upon the general land policy of the
government. At the conclns on of
Mr. Dolph's speech the land bill was
-laid aside and a number of bills taken
from the calendar and passed, among
them t e House bill for the relief of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Alabama, aud the Senate bill
appropriating $150,000 for a public
buiiding in Norfolk, Va.
Adjourued to Monday.
; HOUSK.
Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
from the committee on wajs aud
means reported the resolution call
ing on the Secretary of the Treasury
for information as to the number of
persons id the United Spates engaged
in manufacturing and agricultural
pursuits who are subject io competi
tion ffom foreign countries. Adopt
ed The House then went into commit
tee of the whore, (Mr Springer of
Illinois in the chair) on the ta iff bill.
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jt-iS6v,cru ,
icised the composition ol the wa)s
and means commi tee and the method
io which it had formulated the pend
ing measure. He arraigned the com
mittee for! its refusal to giant hear
ings to the industries of the country
or to consider the petitions again.-t
the measure which poured into thu
oo mm it tee room frin all parts of tun
country, i He earnestly protes ed
against a reduc ion of the dutvou earth
en ware, and read petitions from work
ingmen id his dm rict agaiast the
principles: embodied iu the bill. It
struck a blow, he tatd, at alniot
every industry in hi district.
Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina,
contended that as the Cousiitut.tou
conferred Jupoa Congress the right to
tax the people for public purposes
only, every time it went beoud that
limitation: it violated in a flagrant
manner the exalted privilege with
which it had been clothed. A ta iff for
protection; was illegal and unjust.
Under it the entire people ' were sub
jected to inonopo ies Tne only dif
ference between home monopoly and
foreign monopoly, (admitting that
therw could exist such a thing as for
eign monopoly,) was that the peo
pie had to pay a heavy additional per
centage for the privilege of having
their masters on this side of the water.
The 8) stem of high tariff taxation
was denominated a protective system
What did it protect The only pr
tectum that the government had
any right to exercise was the protec
tion of itself against any enemy that
thr. atened it and its cit zns from
au ul justice at the hands of any oth
er nation. ; It was a perversion of the
power of the government when pro
tection was accorded for any other
purpose ahd especially when it was
made a means of helping one Bet of
citizens at the expense of anoth-r
A protection accorded by a high tariff
was a protection against the right of
thtt American people to buy When
and where they pleased.
Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, inquired
whether the gentleman believed thai
American citizens should be permit
ted to buy where they pleated.
Mr. Hemphill replied in the amrni
ative, and expressed his belief m free
dom n all; things, and called alien
tion to the fact that high protection
lsts naa never attempted to protect
tne labor ot tne country from
the importation of the so called
pauper labor of Europe. Iu argu ng
against nign utm ne said thikt ac
cording to the theory of the protection
lsts nothing in the heavens above or
the ea th beneath or the waters uu
der the earth so satisfied the cravings
of the soul and body of the hungry la
boring man as to see his employer
luxuria ing in tne money gathered
from the aong-sunering and patient
people under the pretense that it was
for the benefit of the labo.er He
contrasted the periods between 1850
and 1860 and between 1870 and 1880
to show that in the low tariff eia th
wealth of the farmers of the country
naa increasea iuu per cent, wnue in
the high tariff era it had only in
creased 9 per cent.
xiuman :ingenuiiy, he said in con
elusion, Cvjuld not conceive a system
more unjust, more unreasonable
more unfair and more unrighteous
than the: protective tariff system
He earnestly appealed to every gen
tleman who had the faintest coneep
tion of justice to lend his aid to the
pending bill, which sought in some
measure at least to life from the
bowed necks of the people of
the country the burdens that
had been laid upon them.
Even the protected pets of the ; gov
ernment might support the bill when
they heard the piteous cry of the peo
ple for a fair aud even chance in the
race of life. It would be a sufficient
epitaph or eulogy for him if, when
the trials and tribulations of life were
over, when Its triumphs and failures
were ended, when earth's work was
dme, ;t cbuld be tru'y eaid of him
that so .long as God gave him
strength he had contended for the
liLtrty of the people against the
tyranny of their unjust oppressors.
(Applause.)
Mr. Usborn, of Pennsylvania, bud
mitted an argument against the bill
which he characterized a5) a blow at
he dignity of American labor. He
protested in the name of the great
State of Pennsylvania against the
passage of a bill which would destroy
its industries, impoverish its farmers,
and iegrade its laborers.
Mr. Hudd, of Wisconsin, ea d that
the Republican party was committed
to the abolition the internal reve
nue taxation and resisted every attack
on the tariff because any change in
importduties would interfere with its
pets, who with Oliver Twist's sim
plicity were asking for more protec
tion. That party would take the tax
off whiskey and tobacco, b jcause by
bo doing it expected to prevent such
revision of the tariff as was now de
manded by the great mass of tax
payers of the country.
ihe .Democratic party had placed
its shoulde s against the car of tariff
reform and would propel it to the
end of the iournev.
When Mr. Hudd had concluded the
comm ttee rose and the House took
a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening
session to be for tariff debate.

Democratic Senators continue to
exhibit an active interest in the seleo-
liouof a Chief Justice, and although
several of them have consulted the
President, he has not taken any on ,
so far 88 is known, into hia confidence
on the subject Senator W uson, ol
Mtryland, happened to call at the
White House today to pay his re
spects to the President. Representa
tive ilcCoaias was olso there, and the
two saw the President together. Dur
ing the interview the Maryland Sena
tor referred to the chief justiceship,
but he found the President extremely
reticent on the subject. Senator Wil
son, in a casual way, alluded to Jude
Alvey, of Maryland, as one of the
mosi eminent of jurists, and asked
f his name had been mentioned hi
this connection. The President re
plied that be had heard of Judgi Al
vey, but remarked that he did not
come from the right locali y. While
he President was not inclined to an
ticipate his action, he intimated quite
clearly that he does not propose to
appoint a Chief Justice from south of

Boston, April 26. The Atlantic

$150,000. The fire started in the

that it caught from the wires from an

from the city proper but it arrived
after the flames had made great head

Held, In a case of fornication and
adultery, the woman being a married
woman, and havmg plead guilty, her
husband may be a witness. against the
male defendant, as his evidence could
not militate against the wife, and he
would not be testifying against her.
Held, Testimony as to antecedent
acts is admissible as shedding light
on acs committed wit bin period
limited ; and so also testimony as to
acts outside the county is admissible
as throwing light on acts committed
in the county.
Held, Charging the woman, who
was a married woman, in the bill as a
spinster could not mislead and is not
ground for arresting the judgment.

to most crops and enquiries have been
of a general nature, yet the rep ies
prove encoursging in all directions
the prospect is good for a full apple
crop, peaches damaged by fiost and on

home-made manures was again en
quired into, and the responses from
the vario is counties are giveu in
brief below.
