A French writer gives a very delicate, yet pungent hit, at the ridiculous pretensions to ancient ancestry which some of the ex-nobles of France have embodied in the tapestry of their castles and palaces.
The satirical fellow says that on the tapestry of an apartment in the palace of the ex-Duke of Choisbul, is a representation of the Deluge, in which a man is seen running after Noah and calling out, "My good friend, save the archives of the Choisbul family!"

Is there any prospect of a War with France?
This question may be better answered by W. H. Seward than by any one else; and he does so, we take it, in the following editorial article in the New York Times.
That paper argues earnestly in declaring:
"Neither in the message of President Johnson, in the diplomatic correspondence of Secretary Seward, in the War and Navy Department reports, nor in any of the other official documents recently given to the country, do they find the least encouragement given to any one of their schemes, or the least prospect held out of their being treated with anything but reprobation.
In treating of our controversies with other Powers, the President was careful to adopt a tone at once vigorous and conciliatory.
So far as was necessary, our relations with other Powers were commented upon; but in regard to none of them was a word used indicating that any of our controversies were of such a character as to require war or menace for a solution.

A curious law case in France.
--Next comes the decision of the First Chamber, which is curious in its way. A rich publican has a son, to whom he is devotedly attached.
The son is, however, consumptive, and tenderly watched by the father, who gives up his trade to devote himself entirely to the patient.
In the middle of the night of 2d of October, the young man, seized with a sudden paroxysm, expires before the father can call for assistance, and the latter, overcome by grief and terror, sinks dead by his side, having captured a vessel at the heart.
Who shall say which of the two died first, the father or the son?
The question would be of no importance to the widow, but there is a certain oyster girl belonging to the establishment who brings forward her claim, as mother of the natural child belonging to the young man, and duly recognized by him, to the whole of the fortune left by the father.
Thereupon loud and long consultations are held among the members of the family.
