POPULAR BOARDING SCHOOLS A writer in the Old Guard for septembor, in a paper uj-on female fashion, has the fol lowing t-harp, but not iDC >rrect remarks on modern fem ie education : “\V hat young !adv, now-a-daya,or ra h er how many in a thousand, cares a straw foe solnj acquirements ? The highest style cf accomplishment in this age is to master a certain k nd of music, the grace of person, and to read French passably. The accom plishment of this launcher* upon the world of fashion a finished Indy. It is not for mental cnltivaiion that thousands of young p;;r s besiege our seminaries every yea/. Ihe idea, .(self, is a humorous or e. The solid part of education is bn.adiy lain down in the circu ars and catal ogues, but has no ex stence in the daily curriculum of nines tenths nt .ur fashionable schools. That fact is incontrovertible as any ever penned. Educators are in no wise tbe responsible panies. Society establishes the standard, and institutions patronized by the influen tial, must accept the popular decision or die for want of support Study is as distateful to our modern young ladies as medicine is to a sick man Through three or four long years the inmates of these fashionable in titutions manage to mn over the course of study, arid when the day of graduation ar rives, well dressed and grace ladies appear on the stage, who read effu-dons, nine cases in every t-rn, plagiarized or written by friend or teacher; and then a white-ribboned dip loma, with due ceremony, is awarded ; then a farewell, and another instalment, of fash ionably-educated ladies is launched into the bosom of society. How small a stock of wisdom they gather in all these years is perfectly astounding. Their heads are full of music and grace and their feet full of dance, and they are marvels of etiquette; but of useful things, of sound culture, of solid attainments, drawn from books, and life and th there is not enough to steady the head of a ten-year old. Think of the thousands just such as these annually bowing themselves into the fashionable world Iu the new field they practic what they were taught at their alma mater; here they deal out, with confidence, the narrow viewe, the sickly nothings they manage to catch through the school drill ; and more empty and giddy heads are added to the army of devotees at the shrine of folly and fashion. Their thoughts are all dreams, anu toese dreams about extravagance of dress—what to wear, how to gain applause —all of tbe outward, and nothing of the in ner life. The face and body are decorated, and days consumed in contrivances to beau tity the person, while the mind is barren as a sand-bank, and the heart unweeded »>f brambles and walled with marble. Moral ice and mental mud are the gifts they pos sess, and rhe only legacy with which they begin the battle of life. From thyjt hour { r vurd, while there is a dollar s>command, tune and means are lavishly expended in the race, iu order to pass to the accepted standard, to attract notice and bid for flat tery and praise, no matter from whom. And all this is done in the face of an im measurable sacrifice. At the cost of mind and modesty, and all the noblest gifts which are the heritage of woman, and at last, when the farce is end a d, if brain enough is left to know it, a solemn conviction that all was vanity, shadow and madness, and that never more can the steps be retracted. For such, there can be no remission. And mothers are not a whit less guilty than their daughters. They never condemn or utter a protest. They drop easily and with open eyes into the tide as it passes and go out as spectators to their daughter’s exposi tion —aye. often to their shame; and what is remarkable and irreconcilable, are flat tend at (he attention the daughters receive, the eyes leveled at them, and the bold jests circulated for everybody’s ears.” Prices of Cotton. -The following table shows the prices of the c >rton crops in each year since 1825-6 The prices, calculated oo ihe basis of Uplands, are for the last mentioned year Thus: the pr ces for the e -tt,on year f 1869-70 are for January and September. 1870: Average Prices in New York.

It is stated in a Paris dispatch of yester day that Jules Favre, of the French repub lican committee of defence, is awaiting a reply to his telegram recently sent to the United States government, which it is thought will have great effect throughout the country. It is natural that republican France, already encouraged hv Austria and England should look to the United States for recognition and congratulation, for France whs not only the ally by whose aid wo achieved our national independence, but was the frst to imitate our example in the esfabushinent of a republic; and as we have b«en tbe first to extend the hand ot sympathy to all other republics in the Old World din South America and to France herself on two memorable occasions, she may well anticipate like sympathy at this time. It is honorable to our country that such is its sympathy with the rights of man that wherever there is a great uprising for lihrety in the Old World, the eyes of all turned for words of cheer to this young re public. Whatever the military prospects of France in this war, all lovers of progress must hope that her new leaders will prove to be true statesmen, conduct her affairs skillfully, and be warned by the errors which ruined former republican experi ments in that country to avoid the rocks up n which thev were wrecked. The re moval i f'the Empi-e. the establishment of a republic, and the proposition by its lead ers to abolish the standing army, present France in anew position —a position of political and moral grandeur which must command the respect of aii free people, and which takes away every ground of griev ance. Tho American people would be false to all their traditions and instincts if they failed to appreciate the true significance of the proposition to abolish a standing army. We have lately referred to General Tnchu’s expressed preference of the idea ot armed nations to that of standing armies, and ihe proposed great change in ti.e French mili tary system may he due in part to his in spiration. Even a mixed system like that of Prussia, while and engii e ot deep >tism in the hands <>f absolute rules, might be made a compact and invulnerable shield for republics. The abolition of the standing army need not leave a country defenceless, but, on the o *ntrary, as Gen. Trochu has already showD in his able work on the sub ject, may be succeeded by a more powerful and reliable organization, making the de fenders and the people one. It is to be presumed that if the proposed change is made in France the future rulers of that country, whether royal or repuplican, will be wise enough to have her in such a state of preparedness for war—as long as that barbarnuß institution is maintained among man—as her late masters have not been able to effect with the position of a standing army. All is yet uncertain, however, as to the government of France. A ll 'MACE AB UT THE EMPRESS EUGENIE How She Once Became Engaged to a Virginian. — A correspondent of the Lynch burg (Va.) Reduldiean relates the follow ing bit of romance about the Empress Eugenie: In 1851 the uncle of the writer resided as American Minister at Paris, with a large family around him, At this time appear* and in society there Eugenie Marie de Guzman. Countess of Montijo,a lovelv person and an aristocratic name securing her brilliant conquests in the society, and constituting her one of the most famous ladies in Paris It was thought, arid indeed frtely remarked, that her mother was more ambitious than herself; that the former designed for her some great alliance, while Eugine herself appeared a model of simple sincerity, a girl who would choose to consult her heart in any matrimonial affair. Her sister had just married the Duke of Alba and Berwich, a lineal descendant of James 11. of England ; ard the worthy mother, D >una Maria, no doubt designed at least and equal matrimo nial destiny for the more beautiful of h r :r daughter? But the heart is not always to be controlled, even in the most aristocratic life, or to yield to its exactions coven ience. Eugenie lost hers t«» a fine looking blonde Virginian, young William C. Rives, son of the American Minister. They were engaged to be married. But Aunt Judv Rives, a Virginia matron, vfry decided and angular iri her scruples, interfered and broke off the match; the Countess was too “fast” for her old Virginia views of social sobriety. The woman for whom future had reserved so much escaped the comparative ly humble m itch that her heart had deci ded upen —the destiny of a quiet Virginia housewife—:o ascend the thr ne of France. Alas, wnat other contrasts may yet remain for her? If an event had been ordered dif feren ly, if a prospective mother- in-iaw bad proved c 'mplacent, the Empress, the wo man who has adnorned the throne of France and displayed to the world the charms of Cleopatra, might at this momenc he a quiet country matron, living in a farm house near Cobham Depot, c unty of Albemarle, and State of Virginia !

Tue Situation of Paris.—A correspon dent of the Lnnd >n Times, writing from Paris, says : ‘ Judging from present indica tions I think the Prussians will walk into Paris at the first serious attack No works constructed ot stone can stand against Kruppe’s cannon at the range at which the Prussians, owing to their recent advances, can place them. On the other hand, the World’s London special of the 4rh says : It is understood that the garison of Paris now consists of 350 000 National Guards 50,000 regulars of the line and 300,000 Garde Mobile.
