Alabama, which met last week in the Presbyterian
Church in that city, closed its sessions on Monday

NJ. DEfocoUEvILLE-The Philadelphia North
American discusses the aspects Of the Poussin affair
in France as though the Paris paper La Presse
were the official paper Of he administration, for
the editorial comments Of which the Minister of
Foreign Affairs is personally responsible. La
PresSe-which is as much an official journal in
France as the Baltimore Sun or the New York
Herald is here-betTayed great ignorance of the
facts Of the dispute and some Of the correspond
ence between MIR. Clayton and M. Pouasin. The
North American, instead of taking these blunders
as proofs that La PreSse was speaking without au-
thority, assumes that it is NJ. DeTocquevs himself
WHO'S thus classifying facts, in "paltry attempt "
to give an appearance Of dignity and spirit" to
his ministerial blunders," by discreditable in
situation. This is hardly giving the French Min
Minister a decent showing, if he is to be held as
individually responsible for all the crudities and
ignorance, not only of the official PRESS but all the
other presses in Paris.

The NEW FRENCH MINIsFER.-It is stated in
the correspondence Of the Charleston Courier, from
Washington, that the gentleman appointed by the
French Government as Minister to this country, is
not the M. Bots ls Comte who was so unfavorably
known, in European diplomacy, as the French
Minister to Switzerland. He is of the same name,
but not of the same family; is a much younger
man, and has been Minister to Berlin, Turin q
1t is quite desirable that the representative of the
French Government here should be person of
moderation and discretion and especially so, if the
French Government is about to renew its reolama-
tons in the cases Of NJ. Porte and the Eugene.
By the advices Just received it would appear that
these demands are not abandoned.

CANADA-Ths Other Side Of the Picture.-The
Hamilton &C. W. Express adduces the following
statistics to prove that the present condition of the
Canadas is as prosperous as at any previous epoch
"Canada is neither bankrupt, ruined, nor decay
ing but her increase in national wealth has been
in fair proportion with any State in the American
Union. The revenue for the two Canadas in 1921
was CIT, 0l3; in 1881 it was 823l SAL; in ls41 we
find it G3S7, 5s1; in l847 it was 955S, 1872; and in
1851, we do not hesitate TO say, it will amount to
more than E7OO,0 900. 1t is matter of great doubt
whether any single State can show as fattering an
index. The assessed value of property in Upper
Canada in 1913 was 68, 755, 739; in ten years the
valuation had more than doubled itself. We admit
that the imports and exports by way Of Montreal
have decreased of late, while they have largely in
creased by way of New York; but the abrogation
of the navigation laws, it is thought, will restore
10 the Canadian ports their former trade.'

U. S. MAIL FOR KINGsToN.-A number of the
most respectable merchants and inhabitants of ia
maica, West Indies, have addressed letter TO R.
M. Harrison, U. s. Consul at Kingston, soliciting
his nterpOsition with the Government Of the United
States to obtain the establishment of regular mail
between that port and the United States. They
represent that the Island offers SO many facilities
for steamers on the route TO the Isthmus that the
slight delay in touching there would be more than
compensated by the advantages afforded in various
ways; that the port would offer a centre depot for
passengers and mails from all parts of the Republics
of Venezuela, New Grenada, and the whole of the
ports of the Pacific, as well as those of the West
Indian Colonies; and that the trade Of this Island
would become much more, valuable to the United
States, particularly under the recent alteration Of
the British Navigation Laws A good deal of stress
is laid on the salubrty of the climate the absence
of all vs1aOus restrictions by passports, etc., and
the indemnity of language.
Mr. Harrison has forwarded the letter to Wash.
ington and expresses his hope that favorable an.
swer may be soon expected.

AMERICAN INTERESTS IN THE TURKISH CUES
TIoN.-The correspondent of the New York Courier
and Enquirer says: Considerable solcitude is felt
as to what special instructions if any, our govern
ment will give Mr.. Marsh, our Minister at Constan-
stantinople, in view of the aspect matters have
assumed between Turkey and Russia. A gentle.
man very well informed assures me, that the Presi-
dent will not depart in the least from our uniform
policy of entire neutrality. He regards the demand
of the Emperor in the same Light in which it is
regarded by the enlightened world, and applaudi
the firm stand taken by the Sublime Porte bu
thinks the case should not form an exception to ths
safe WashingtOnian rule The special instruction.
to Mr.. Marsh, therefore, iDiu be to abstain carefuH
from all Interference With The matter"

QUEEN VICTORIA COMING TO CANADA.-The
Kingston Wing announces the return otthe May
or OF Kingston, and Mr.. Alderman Counter, from
a business tour TO the Colonial Office at London
These gentleman went out as dcputation OF the
City OF Kingston to confer with the Home Gov
eminent. As the result of their mission, the
Wing says that Kingston is to be the scat of the
Canadian Government, and also of the British
American provinces when federaIly united. And
what is more TO the purpose Earl Grey has as
sured the deputation, that he would use his best
cndcavors to induce her majesty to make visit
to her Transatlantic Dominions next summer.
and that in all human probability, he would b.
successful. 1t is also said. that Mr.. Counter has
private commission to procure suitable resi-
dence for her majesty.

TIE PATENT DECEPTIVE HENS NEsT.-This
is one OF the most ingenious contrivances Of the
age, and is the invention of a regular down east
Yankee. The design is to deceive poultry into
the speedy and liberal laying Of eggs, and which
is accomplished by the peculiar construction OF
the machine. AT the bottom of the nest there
is kind oftrap door, which works on hinge,
being supported by spring. The moment the
egg is placed on this the trap opens, and lets it
fall through into cushioned apartment prepared
for its reception The consequence is that the
bird just as she is preparing to cackle, glances at
the nest and seeing nothing in ii, actually rea-
sons herself into the belief that she has not laid
at all, resumes her position on the nest in the
hopes of making a more successful effort.
On the first trial of this useful contriyance be-
fore the Commissioners of Patents, to test its
virtues, a singular result was effected. A large
imported Russian hen was located on the nest
and left to her meditations. On account of press
ing business, the hen was forgotten till next day,
when to the utter establishment of the Commits
sioncrs, and even the inventor himself, on exam
lining the nest they found nothing in it but pair

THE VOTE OF LAxE.-There was no poll held
in Lake on Morday last, for the election of coun-
ty Judge. Instead thereof, petition was drawn
up, addressed to the legislature, asking for the
repeal of the law of last session, establishing
county courts, as unnecessary and burdensorne;
which was signed by so electors Of the town,
being all who came to the usual place of holding
the polls. There is a good deal of opposition
among the farmers to the county conrt bill.
They think that its effect was to create great
number of additional officers and add materially
to the county expenses, without any correspond
ing benefit-M i,caukee Sentinel

PROGRESSIVE SURGERy.-The following an
ccdote is said to have formed part of an intro
ductory lecture delivered before the School of
Medicine of Dublin:
Ayoung surgeon some time since consulted
Mr.. Kirby, the iilustrons fonnder of this school,
as to the course he should pursue in order TO OBJ
tain livelihood by his profession. The sapient
consultee replied: My young friend, go and
attend with all due care and diligence, sweep;
that sweep, when cured, will get you another
sweep as patient; this latter will get you the
kitchen maid-the kitchenmaid will get you the
cook the cook will get you the ady's maid, and
the ady's maid in the penitnde of her gratitude
will get you the lady herself, and thus you cul-
inmate and cap the climax"

AHARD CHARACTER.--The Chicago CONNER
cial Advertiser is down upon its city and fellow
citizens in the following slcdge-hammer fash
iOn
John Hawkins the american Father Mathew
has visited Chicago. Although he has been an
nounced in the papers both before and since his
arrival, we believe neither the divisions, nor the
members of the Sons of Temperance scarcely
knew any thing about his arrival, visit, or depar-
ture.
Friends, let us not trust to the Sons Of Tempe
rance, TO give Father Mathew his reception; bu;
let him have a welcome and hospitable recep-
ton from the outsiders.
God knows there is need enough of
such men here. Mr.. Hawkins called in vain
for some one of the clergymen OF the city, who
were in the hall on Sunday evening, to open the
meeting with prayer Not one was to b. found
at his side nor in the hall. No wonder there is
no such place as Chicago registered in the books
of heaven.

DESPERATE BRAvERY,-Three trappcrs, Vale,
Cass, and Young, whilst looking for beaver in
the vicinity of Morcou river, discovered large
trail, rightly supposing that they were in the vi
entity OF strong band of Indians. They selected
a suitable spot, and built of logs and poles small
hut, to which they gave the name ola fort. Be
fore 1t was finished the Indians made their ap-
pearance. They showed by signs not to be mis-
taken, that they were determined to have their
scalps, Vale and his companions resolved to
sell their lives dearly as possible, and prepared
Tor desperate resistance. At the first fire o:
the Indians, Young was shot through the head.
Vale and Cass returned the fire, and three Ind
lans fell, at which they raised the war whoop.-
The unequal contest lasted several hours, Cass
loading the gnns whilst Vale with uncrring aim
thlnned their ranks. Cass imprudently exposed
his face and received ball in the eye. Vale
was now left alone to contend against the Ind
lanS. He made the best of it, loaded and fred
IN such rapid succession that the Indians were
on the point of retiring, when he fell mortally
wounded. The Indians to this day lament his
death: they buried him without ping him,
and honor him with the name of Eagle Brave.
% Indians were killed in the action. Vale had
relatives residing in Milwaukee, Jackson

A person in writing of his journey to Oregon,
gives the following account of the wonders TO
be found on that route.
As we approach near the Mountains, cattle be-
gin to die, poisoned by the mineral waters. Their
carcasses dry up without putreiaction, so pure is
the air. No flies or mosquitoes We soon came
to the saleratus lakes which are great curiosi-
ty. In the wet season these lakes are strong
lyc, shallow, and from 100 yards to 300 miles
in circumference. When the dry season APP
proaches, these lakes dry up, and salcratus is
formed two or three inches deep, white as snow,
and good for all the purposes of the common sal
craus of commerce.
