Then came In the bishops, priests and their attendants, gorgeously dressed. After crossing themselves and kneeling be* fore the crucifix, they turned and bow­ ed reverently to the veterans and then continued with the service which Is «rery impressive. Back of the altar, through a glass screen,can be seen very plainly the tomb of Napoleon I. The entrance to it is nt a side door. ' After we left the chapel we visited the mili­ tary museum, which is very near It.-- There we saw the most complete col­ lection of arms in Europe, from the hatchet used by the savage to the most perfect implements of warfare of the present day. There was a splendid collection of armors, swords, saddles, banners, «Sc., used by the different kings. It was a very interesting show I could not possibly write a descrip­ tion of the thing. We took our way home through some old fashioned streets, so narrow that only one person could walk on the pavement. We took opposite "sides of the street and could talk across without raising our voices. I like to explore them a little they are so different from anything I ever saw In the way of streets, and one ought to see both sides of Paris, truly the mag- niflcieut. I am beginning to think of the voyage home, aud of the many things 1 shall tell you on my return. Your# Ever, CLARA B. OWBN.

THE WHO STAND BY CONKLING? All the current misrepresentations •f this contest cannot hide the fact from the stalwart Republicans of the •ountrv at large that behind Senator Conkling, and heartily in accord with lilm. are the men who have been the backbone ot Republicanism in New York; who have fought its battles, tiot only against the Democratic party but against Republican renegades; who have not onlv conquered Bourbon- Ism separately, but Bourbenism allied With Greeley bolters. Robinson seced- •rs. Bristow deserters, and Curtis •cratchers. They are the satne men who, when the colors of the Republican party were captured in Maine last September, rallied around Grant and Conkling. and having recaptured them In Indiana, turned defeat into victory, •nd carried Garfield and Arthur into the White Honse on the crest of a Ware of stalwart enthusiasm, nnpar- *lleled in the history of the party. It was the charge of the Guards at Water­ loo, and was so recognized by the Re­ publican rank and file throughout the Union. Mr. Conkling relies on the loyalty of these men. and it Is not likely that he will rely In vain. He lias never betrayed them and they will not betray hitn; nor is it to be Imagined that either he or they will betray the Republican party er its principles.--Boston Traveler. f 1.

PARIS, FBANCK, May 9th, 188L DVAR FRIENDS AT HOME:--I have been so busy the last month in other directions that I have allowed myself but little time for writing; yet I keep a sort of record of my doings and will try to tell you in this what I have seen Last week the Salon or Exposition des Beam Arts opened. They have an ex­ hibition here every year, open to all artists In the city and country that do good work. It is in a v^r^ large building with rooms all given to paint­ ing* and a handsome garden for stat­ uary. What I saw there paid me well for erossiitg the ocean. It is fine weather in France now, and la really the most enjoyable time of the year. The French people almost live out of door*. The sewing girls take their work and sit on the benches under the trees along the sidewalk and work and visit. Tlwy all wear white bonnets and their clothing generally is very picturesque. The nurse girls wear caps with wide ribbou. of some very bright color, plaited around the crown^aud finished with a very large bow and long ends reaching to the bot­ tom of their eKirts. They wear large white aprons and with their babies in their arms walk up and down contin­ ually. The babies are most beautifully, dressed aud one cannot help being at­ tracted by them. The garden of the Tuileries is most magnificent now.-- The trees at)d flowers are in full bloom Itiei-e are a great many horae chesnut tree# in Paris, and they are full of blos­ soms aud are very showy. The foun­ tains play all day aud evening. I wish I could tell you how much I enjoy them Last Sunday we went to a military luaes, at the Palais des Invalides, and this was the service: First six little drummer boys beat their drums for a few minutes, then the grand organ played and about one hundred soldiers tn uniform, each carrying a bann«r, marched down the center aisle ef the chapel and formed in line on both sides Then the veterans, twelve in number, their hair and beards white as snow, their clothes black with white shoulder ornaments, belts and gloves, and all carrying swords, marched up the aisle, •Iwim'iW the line «f sold it rs, to their WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLAINDKALEK:^-wThere is no great loss without some small gain11 is the old adage and though you lost by not receiving our "piece" last week your readrrs gained by having our usu­ al space tilled with more valuable mat­ ter. And tills is how it happened.-- The Northwestern saw fit to change its time table without, giving us specially '•due and timely notice" and therefore, though our piece was ready written, we failed to connect, as our mail closed nearly an hour earlier. >• We had a short session of Court, only three days. Judge Upton very proper­ ly discharged the Jury on the first opening on account of the busy season. Nevertheless there was a good amount of business done by the Court by sub­ mission, in Chancery and exparte trials. The case of Bunker vs Murphy was changed to Winnebago county on mo­ tion of Defendants, as alleged in their petition, on account of prejudice of Judges Upton and Kellum. Notliwith- standing we hear It quite commonly as­ serted that the real cause was the in­ dignation caused by the insulting lan­ guage used toward the people In the article published in 'the Democrat some time ago in regard to the matter in controversy. The law gives them the right to the change, but Were we to venture an opinion we should deem il an unwise tiling to do. This is their heme; both the Senior and Junior were raised here, here have they grown physically and socially, here has the Setiior received distinguished hon­ ors at the hands of the people and it he be worthy of those distinguished lien­ ors, it will be and is already argued that for some cause best known to themselves they dare not trust their case to their neighbors who in days gone by have promoted him. We heard one tarmer who has not a very large farm say, on Saturday, that he had thirty-five acres yet to plow for corn and that his neighbor had sixty, and we learn by similar remarks that there is a large acreage yet implanted but to be planted. There is much complaint of drouth j and indeed we notice the grasses show signs of parching. I*. J. Daey has purchased the Brick Church, which was built by the Pres­ byterian society and occupied by it "lo these many years" as a p'ace of worship. We do not know who Mr. Dacy expects to place in the pulpit, but w° have heard it suggested by some of his personal friends that are likely te know that negotiations are In progress looking towards a Peoples' Church \yith the Rev, C. H. Trvon as Pastor. And we have no doubt, if Charley builds u.p as good a re nutation as preacher as he now ha* a» open let­ ter writer lie will have a larse follow­ ing, and it will not be likely to hurt Tint's trade in agricultural imple­ ment*. Our Mayor gives much of his person­ al attention to the improvements of streets and ditches, and is doing much towards completing and extending work begun by his predecessor besides many needed improvements origina­ ting with the present board.
