related The following Onecdote, 10 the Edi-

cd. The narrator was living in the family
of Maj. G. Nj. Price, about six miles west
of Beetown aud says: Con the morning

On Sunday morning, the "a, a gand re-
view was held in the Champs ElSsees OF
the National Guard. With the exception
OF the following incident Ull passed of
quietly One circumstance created a little
agitation Just as the the troops were bhling
past the President. Al OF a Sgdden a huge
kite, in the shape Of an eagle, anl very well
executed, was observed floating over the
spot where the President ami the staff were
standing IN the Place de la Coucaula, The
general impression at first was that the ca
Gle was portion oi the regular ceremo-
nies OF the day but the mistake was speed
ily dispellel when one of the General Chan
carriers aides-de camp was seen eating
tie string, and al once bringing the bird to
the ground. The Dehats SAYS thar the
protector of this notable scheme intended
70 ridicule the invasion al BoUlngue. Il Is
however, more likely thar he was an en-
ihusiaslic Bonaparti>I, who took this mode
of recalling the empire 10 the recollection
aud affection Of the ParisianS. But what
ever his real intentions may have been, the
result, as far as he Is concerned, was an
uuucky one, for he was carried off by the
Gardens de Paris TO the Prefecture Of po-
hce, where he is allowed time 70 rumlnate
over his folly ia eNtcmPorising al addition
10 the ceremonies OF thc review.
The following account OF the review is
from the sponlcul of ibe Times:
PAEis, Dec. "a. IS4S.
The first military spectacle in honor OF
the new President Of the republic, took
place this day--or rather is taking place at

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1910.


Journal for lasi week. A memorial from
the legislature Of Iowa, praying for tie
charter of railroad by our legisla iure,
commencing a, lake Michigan, ant terr,i-
mating opposite Dubuque, was referred 10 n
select committee, of which Mr.. Bnices il
Chairman. The most remarkable feature
ia the journal Is, that it contains about one
column IN five of unmitigaIed fai. The
Judiciary committee report that the election
of Shullsburgh as county seat of Lafayette
County, was not legal, the vote having been
cast after the adoption of the Constitution,
and being repugnant thereto.

ALL is NOT GOLD THAT GLIrTERs. even
in California-some of it appears to be sill
yer. The Saint Louis Republican publishes
statemenl which, if true, proves that the
silver mines Of California are as abundant
as the gold mines, unless transmutation
of metals should have taken place and all
the silver become fine gold. The Republi-
can says:
gentleman who has spent, some years
in Mexico, has sent us a communication,
the substance of which is, that in 1910 he
was 10 the city of Mexico. While there
he heard much of thu existence of gold
mines in that country. In 1910, while Mr..
Busramente was looking over some of the
ancient records preserved within the pal
ace, he found a memorial from upper Cali
fornia, to the head of the Government sign
ed by one of the Missionaries in that re-
gion, in which he gave a narrative of the
discovery of an immense vein of native sill
yer. Great masses of this ore were found
on the surface Of the earth-one of which
was equal in weight TO twenty quintals
(2000 lbs. J, and there were many indica-
tons of permanent vein of this ore. In
reply to this communication, the record
goes to state that the Government instruc-
ted the missionary to have the mine of sill
ger covered up and that its existence should
be kept profound secret under penalty of
death.

the most substantial political and social bles-
Il sings of this favored Republic.
slight Typographical view of the face
our country is sufficient TO settle the ques-
ton, and to point at once to the appropriate
description of works to be adopted in this
state. Aud while the natural features of
our country settle this question beyond the
possibility Of an argument, il is gratifying
to know, that what ever may he the relative
merits of the question alluded 10, the sur
face of oar state is peculiarly adapted to that
description Of Improvement which alone has
been placed by nature within our choice
Perhaps 10 no county of the same extent,
are presented less physical obstacles, to the
cheap construction Of a railroad across il,
from east 10 west, or in which are found so
great tn'.iities, at small expense, for con-
strncttng it, Therefore,
hesolUed, That it viii be for the best in
tersst of the people of the State of Wis
consin, for the present General Assembly,
nov in session, to adopt measures for max
ing railroad from, or near Milwaukee, on
Lake Michigan, TO some piont on the Mis-
sissppi, between Potosi and Prairie. du
Chen.
Resoired, That our AssembIymen be in
structed, and our s nators requested, 10
bring in bill at the present session, for the
purpose of appointing commissioners to
open books of subscription for rallroad
stock, TO make a railroad from, or near Mil
waukee, to some point on the Mississippi
river, and, that the said commissioners be
authorized by law to cause "A survey of said
road, as soon as there IS money enough paid
into said commissioners for defraying the
expense of the same.
Resolved, That we wish a special act
passed by the present General Assembly to
incorporate said RAILROAD company; as we
believe general law for the purpose of
companies making railroads where they
please, and where they please, would be at
tended with much difficulty, as there would
lie calls from all directions of the state for
said road, which would defeat union Of
the people upon tho subject, and be the
means OF raising opposition to this valuable
work of improving the commerce of our
country.
Resolrcd, That those friendly land wish
ing a railroad from or near Milwaukee, 10 the
Mississippi river, to some point on said riy-
Or between Potosi and Prairie du Chen are
hereby requested to meet together for the
purpose Of pelitioning the Legislature to
pass law 10 incorporate company to con-
siruct said road.
Resolued, That the Chairman and Secre-
tary Of this meeting send copy Of the pro-
ceedngs of this meeting, To our Senator
from Grant county, and to the Representa-
tives from Iowa county, TO be laid before
the General Assembly of the state OF Wis
consin likewise, n copy 10 the Editor OF
the Wisconsin Heraia, for publication. with
request for the Tribune to copy the same
INTO his paper.

An officer of the navy, in a letter publish

A curious case ot collision came up last
week before the Supreme Court OF LoulSl-
ana, in which steamboat performed some
OF the most extraordinary capefs on record.
In 1914. during the high Hood, when the
whole valley OF the Mississippi, was some
ten ur twenty feet under water, the Belle
Air steamer was coming down the river un-
der full head of steam, aud "a she nearcd
the respectable little town Of Chester, in IL
hnaiS, ''fcehng her oats" and having a de-
sire to ties. .hs solldity of Illinois building,
she pitched head foremost into three story
brick building ia Chester, and knocking oft
the top story, proceeded onward ptcnHia sed,
against a four story stOne-mill AMI knocked
il into a cocked-hat. After performing
these extraordinary exploits, the +" Belle
Air" proceeded on her journey, with scarce
IA a scratch or mark OF the affray m which
She had been engaged, aud arrived safely
in New Orleans. Tho owners OF the two
damaged buildings have sued for damages
of which they recovered $4,000 IN tue court
below. The witnesses in the case express
ed some opinions which were rather r0marA-
able one Of lhcm spoke Of the buildings
as being pleasantly located, though they
were twenty feet under water. From THIS
opinion we may presume what Is regarded
a favorable location Ia Illinois. The Wit
ness, in expressing this opinion, had IN view
no doubt the fine water privileges OF thiS
lorstinn. Another witness very na.Vey
