Paschal Grousset has, like Lullior, 8roved au honorable exception to. the ommtinitit leaders who have been pite oualy straggling to wriggle out of the responsibility of nota and decrees of whioli thoy wore once BO childishly proud. Ile hus tho appearance and bearing of a gentleman-an exceptional position among tho accused-and his de? fence bus been at once able and digni? fied. He docs not attempt to shirk his share of responsibility in the general ?olioy and proceedings nf tho Commune. Lo accepts eveu his responsibility of de? crees, with which, personally, he had nothing to do-decrees passed, perhaps, at meetings which ho did not attend declaring that thor, at any rato, omuunt ed from a body to whioh be belonged. This is in striking contrast to tho de? fence of other prisoners, who have been trying to plead that at anoh and such a meeting they were not present; that at another they made a remark whioh, if the Journal Officiel had only published it, ?would have proved their dissent from the Views of the m ?ij o ri ty; that thin or that signature ia not theirs, and so on ad nau? seate in the face of the general faot that they still remained members without protest, and still without a murmur drew, the pay of tho body by whom all these acts and decres* were passed. Paschal Grousset has only been anxious to clear himself of ono or two minor and inci? dental charges discreditable from a moral ?oint of view; such, for instance, as that e took property or kept money to which he waa not entitled, and in thia bo hos been completely successful. Ha also in? dignantly repudiates any complicity in the burning of Paris or the massacre of tho hostages; and hore, also, his defence is able, if not exactly unanswerable. As for the massacre, ia the drat place, he argues that the prisonors massaored never really were hostages; that tho Commune marked out for hostages, not priests or non-combatants, but soldiers taken with arms in their hands; and, secondly, that even those thua set aside were never really destined' to death. The act waa intended merely aa a menace of reprisals to pat a stop to the ex?cutions of Fede? ral prisoners, which were then thought to be going on at Versailles. He de? clared that, so far from the Commune being blood-thirsty, it had ordered only one execution-that of a colonel found guilty of cowardice before the enemy, and that even that sentence bad not been inflicted. With regard to tho burning of a part of Paris, Paschal Grousset was Baked whether the Commune did not know what, indeed, was a matter of pub? lie notoriety, that his party repeatedly threatened to burn dovtn Paris rather than let the VersaillistB get possession of it. He admitted having often heard these threats, but deolared that he had never taken them aux s?rieux, or expect? ed for a moment that they wonld be exe? cuted. The same threats had been over and over again repeated during the Prus? sian siege, but they came to nothing whoii Paris ?apit?lated and tho Prussians entered. He solemnly affirmed that neither the Commune aa a body, nor, so far as he knew, its members individually, ever meditated tho destruction of Paris. Ou the whole, the defeuoo was conduct? ed with both ability and dignity, and seemed to produce n favorable effect. ) Versailles Cor. London Times. THB DISENTOMBED PAST.-Thoy pre? tend to have unearthed a "lost city," or Indian village, in Canada, on the banks . of Grand Uiver. In one collection a pile of 200 human skeletons was found -the bones of men who must havo boen from seven to niue fcot in height, mast have worn heads nearly twioe the sieo oi ours, and belonged to an age anterior to anything reoognized in modern history. As the bones of a mastodon wore found, some years ago, near the sume spot, some people fancy in all these relics the remains of n coincident period. Mad? houses and their chimneys, the debris of a blacksmith's shop, and two tons of charcoal; a number of large skulls al? most petrilied; tomabawk-shap?d axes; beads of stone; pipes with dog?' he?ds out on them; skimmers und so on, have boen disinterred with these skeletons, the whole of which was covered by a growth of pitio timber "of tho growth of centuries"-according to the rather extravagant report. The farm of 150 acres which overlaid this vast mauso? leum, "hus beeu cultivated for nearly a century," wo aro assured, and yet is "covered with a thick growth" of forest trees. A farm covered with forest trees is something wo citoyens do uot freely comprehend. That it "must have buen ages ago since tho remains were deposit? ed there," is also embarrassing phrase? ology to us. However, wo givo tho statements as furnished by the Toronto Telegraph, and we leuvo tho rest to tho reader's imagination. It is pretended that gold and silver are concealed in abnndauoe in the sam? locality, and if so we shull not have to wait long for more explorations. Without alluding to "ages ago," discoveries of this kind are always interesting. The pant is a useful volume for human, study, arid even dead Indi >n an oeste ra mako wise teso!?era'i?? their living American descendants, , ' - | New York Sunday Tines. * . * ii-? A hard-working bnt poor Gorman farmer ia Livingston County, Missouri, whose farm was advertised for debt in spite of all his industry and economy, .till plowed and toiled, and a few days ago dug ap a box containing oror 01,700 in gold. Tho body of n well-known old nogro mah, who bani been missiug from Meri? dian several days, was iou nd hist Monday in the woods about four milos from the city, with ono of bia oxen lying duud be? side him. There was little doubt that they had both beon killed by lightniug. Threo remarkable persona havn arrived ia Vinoennes, Indiana: "Tiny aggre? gate 1,165 pounds, the avoirdupois being distributed as follows: Maternal parent, 585 pounds ; sixteen-year-old boy, 425 pounds; and an infant phenomenon, of the female persuasion, 175 pounds." ? A TBIB?TK TO THC CONFEDEBATE CON* BTITDTION.-The Hon. Alexander Del? mar, a Northern man, who, although never an abolitionist, uever ' favored slavery, and who says he Las' not beeu in the South for fourteen years, in a let? ter to the editor of tho Memphis Appeal, says: ' Although native hero "and to ?ho man? ner born," I ounuot resist aa expression of regret that tho leadership of oar party has faitea into the hands of North? ern politicians. Whatever may bo its other exeollenoe, tho Northern mind is certainly not marked for astuteness; aod since we bave lost the guidance of Southern statesmen, we Beem to have been without ideas. For intellectual strength aod grasp we have bad stolidi? ty, aod for circumspection we have been favored with mere cunning. Heooe the continued attitude of negation into which we have boen thrown, and the contemptuous soubriquet of Bourbons which our enemies have bestowed apon as. Tho Republican party owes its cou tiuued ascendancy muoh to its shrewd assumption, that the civil war was waged solely to uphold slavery. This is so far from beiag eorreot, thut lind slavery aot beoa ia question at all, had not ovou the demand to suddenly make common thu long-vested individual proprietorship of 4,1)1)0,000,000 of property been in ques? tion, there was still enough behind to have brought on tho war without slavery. Take tho Confederate Constitution as a guide. All mast admit that this is tho most authoritative exponent of tho dif? ferences between the North and South. There was ia that instrument, if my memory serves mo truly, a distinct enun? ciation pf the absolute sovereignty of tho States, except in oases specifically provided for. Protection was absolutely forbidden. Revenues could only bo col? lected by the Federation for the pur? poses of government. Subsidies, inter? nal improvement schemes, land grants, monopolios, otc, wera absolutely forbid? den. Even the monopoly of money was relinquished by the Federation; for the States were permitted to issue circulat? ing notes. No debtoould be repudiated; and so strictly was this principio ad bored to, that no Federal bankruptcy law could bo enacted. The Post Otliou Department was to Bupport itself out of its own revenues solely. Appropriation bills wore to require a two-thirds vote ia both - Houses of Congress, aod wheo passed might be vetoed ia part by the President. No bill oould relate to more than one subject, and that must buve been expressed ia its title. Surplus ton? nage revenues levied by the States over cost of local harbor improvements, were to go into the Federal treasury. The President aod vice-President were to serve for six years, aod for one term only. Civil Service Reform wns effectu? ally provided for by forbidding removals from office, except for cause to be given to the Senate. Cabinet ministers alone were exempted from this provision. Fi? nally, tho machinery requisito to effect amendments to the Constitution was simplified and improved. There is a man out in Wyoming who did not want for woman's wit wheo forced to do womnu'a work while his wife was on the jory. He appealed to her to como home, but sho wasn't ia any particular barry, as "bc would now flail oat how nice it was to stay at home and miad the childrea, while she was loafing around the court house as he ase to do." The man went home and hired a good looking cook, aad sent his wife word to be sure aad not come home until she wanted to ou his account, but as soon ns the news reached her she bolted imme? diately, and is now ono of the loudest op posera of f o malo suffrage. Seth Green says that in three years the 240,000 yoong shad he hus put iu the Hudson River will "speak for them? selves." What will they sav? [New York Globe. They will say, ia tho language of the poet. "What shad-ohs we uro, and what sh ad-o hs we pursue." [ Washington Star. TIT FOB TAT.-"I do so navy Eve," said a married lady to a gentleman. "How so?" "Because her husband could never badger her about bow his mother used to do thinus." "I do so envy Adam," replied the gentleman, i "Why so?" asked the lady. "Because ho uover had a mother-in-law." ' A North Carolina colored juror was I recently sreu making rapid tracks for I tho Virginia line, and upon bciug ac? costed by a gentleman ns to whither he was going, confessed with disuiuj" that he was il.ming tho State, ns ho had just heard that tho "jury was to bc hung." PI?R CONTRA.-A correspondent of tho St. Louis Republican sets up an opposite theory to that advanced by Darwin. Ho thinks monkeys originated from men- i that men deteriorated to such mi extent tba* monkeys were the result. There aro two beautiful Circassian lidies at White Sulphur Springs who possess magnificent bends bf hair. They "accompany a French family, and are very muoh admired. . Little Josio Singleton, of Forsyth, QA., recently ^removed an obstruction from the. Macon and Western Road whiloa train, going ut full speed, was within a few feet of it. Tho Dauville Times says: "Wo had rather have bruins than money. A big Kurse in tho pocket with no ideas in tho omi is uot very desirable. A good heart is better than either." Au Ohio young mau had a girl whom he was courting arrested for biting his lips. Tho fooll couldn't he bite back? We would be chawed i uto hash before having a girl arrested for that. The Welsh colony in Patagonia is the mod -rn Utopia. They have no lunation, blind, deaf or dumb, and no paupers nor poor law. There is no taxation. When a girl fulls io lovo with an Irishman, ber heart always goos pity Pat. WHAT A B?BTLE THEY MAKE.-A lotter from a lady correspondent at Newport, relating tho later gayetics of tho season, gets off tho following: "Bitting on tho hotel piazza the other morning, watching a group of young ladies, ?.overheard a ourly-headed little maiden, -who. was frizzled and pan nier ed nod puffed i'd tho'height of tho style, exclaim, 'Oh, I Uko tho Independent best!' A moment before 1 oouhi huve ?worn that hi petite never looked at a newspaper, und somewhat surprised I took tho liberty of listening further. 'Tho Tribune suits mo,' said her black eyed companion. 'I take tho Evening Post,1 chimed in a stylish, sauoy-lookiug girl, who was pelting somebody over the railing with pond lilies-a beautiful bunch, by tho way, which five minutes before I had seeu a gentleman carefully selecting for her from n little urchin's basket. And when, I wondered, do you girls gut time to read the newspapers? 'Fold them four double, of course,' wu* the next sentence I ennght; and more puzzled than before, I very impolitely walked near the group, when everything was made olear to mo by the blonde lit? tle one saying, 'I had rather have a newspaper any day than tho best pannier that was over made in Paris.' I full back into my seat, uncertain whether to laugh or to fuel provoked with tho chat? ter-boxen, who hud strolled off to lay siege to a party of gentlemen just from the beach. Think of it. Mr. Tiltoul think uf it, Mr. Greeley I in faull iou able circles." A FREAK OF FOOTUNE.-A North Ca? rolina paper gives the following details of au interesting freak of fortune there: "Mrs. Ii., a very nico widow li?dy from the country, was iu town Tuesday, li out? ing u cook's placo in some nice family. Many years apo, tho grand-father of Mrs. JJ. owned 150 slaves and BIX plan? tations, and at the closo of the wur her father had a bushel of gold. Her hus? band was a poor man, and died in the war, and now this independent and worthy widow woman prefers to cook in Bomo nice family ruther than Iivo de? pendent on other folks." The utter unreliability of history is attested to in a controversy now going on between M.Cassagnuo and M. Achurd, relative to Napoleon's demeanor at Sedan. Both gentlemon wero present and eye-witnesses of what they describe, yet ono asserts that the Emperor wore his uniform on the morning of the sur? render aad weut out weeping. The other, that ho wore plain clothes and waB BO self-possessed that he went out smoking a cigarette. Of course the mutter is unimportant, except as illus? trating what little reliance is to be placed upou personal evidence in times of extraordinary excit?me nt. A TREASURE UNEARTHED.-Yesterdny, says the Kansas City News, of the 30th ult., a negro in tho employ of Lyuoh, contractor, was engaged in digging tho foundation for n house on Guiuotte's Bluff, ou a lot adjoining the residence of our city auditor, when ho unearthed a buried treasure-gold and silver ooin, amounting to $500. Ho hud dug down about two feet under ground, when bis pick struck something hurd, and raking it towards him with the point of the in? strument, bright coin was scattered be? fore him. A party of Cincinnati Aldermen went out on the Illinois prairies for a hunt lust week, carrying with them a good supply of Pike's whiskey. When they sturted to return, they hud moro whiskey left than they wanted, sud sold it to a farmer. A revenue officer hearing of the transaction arrested the whole party, und locked them up for peddling whiskey without a license. When it came out that Sir Walter Scott waa bankrupt, Lord Dudley ex? claimed: "Scott ruined! Tho author I of Waverly ruined! Let every man to whom ho has given months of delight give a sixpence, and he will rise to-mor? row morning richer than Rothschild!" A Georgia game of baseball broke np in tlie eighth inning with ono arm broken, ouu eye put out, ono jaw dislo? cated, and eighteen fingers "shifted." The game will bo finished as soon as thu physicians think best. A correspondent writes that un edito? rial parly, now ranging over tho Red River conutry, sat down to a dinner the other day at which there wero "five kinds of wino, one kind of meat, and no speeches." Nb wonder they aftw thiugs iu a very favorable light. IJAI'HUH LINGI;.*:.-Athletio ournie who, with the young uieu of his parish, hud been victorious in a great mutch tho day bo ore: "Ho-ur Endet h tho Fir.->t In? nings!" A Nova Scotia correspondent gives a lit? tle fragment of nu overboard conversa? tion: "What kiud of a stone do you sup? pose they will give mo when 1 die?" "Rriiustone, of course !" Peoria has lind a ghost, of which it ia announced, that he ran nway remarka? bly fust us soon us a load of buckshot was fired nt him. A funeral procession in Massachusetts, ou reaching tho cemetery, found the un? dertaker and his assistant both too drunk to attend to their duties. Ali exchange says old ago is to bo re? spected. That depends whether it is ap? plied to the human ruco or to poultry. An old "settler"-tho old Indy who sent a farmer toa cents that hud boca duo twenty-nine years. A man safely swam the Mississippi, when he was so drunk that ho had no re? collection of the deed subsequently. A lady in au overluud stage saved the treasure box from robbers by spreading her dross over it. A Wincousia man who '-nd lost three fingers by a buzz saw, consoled himself by taking three lingers uf whiskey. Conneoticut has at length mada np its mind to bave a new State House at Hart Word. A HAPPY WOMAN.-An exciting revival in now in progress in one of the negro churches in Hampton. Tho other night, a female member of tho congregation ruined her voice to the highest pitch, and shouted, in shrill tones: Calline! hold my bonnet till I boat my sides mid about glory! glory I" Tho request was oom plied with, and the happy creature commenced shouting and Bobbing, and kept it up until elie was completely ex haubted.-Norfolk Journal. Ouo Sunday reoeutly, a Methodist prcuchor in iowa advised the sisters to mortify Satan by giviug their jewelry to the church on tho next Sabbath evening. The result wan a galvanized watoh and three brass Unger rings. "They aro a mean set of munera," said the parson. LATEST QUOTATIONS OF SOVUEIU? 8K c?MTiKsiN?iiAnijEsTON. 8.
