WHAT CAUSED FRENCH INTERVENTION IN
MExIco.-The famous Jecker claims which
caused France to intervene in Mexican
affairs, arose out of loan by Jecker, q
Swiss, to Miramon of S764.000 to war
against Juarez. Miramon lost his cause,
and then Jecker asked Juarez to pay his
claim, which was refused. What would we
say if the Englishmen who lent Davis money
to carry on his rebellion, were to ask the
United States Government to pay it? Yet
Jecker's claim was precisely similar,
and on this impudent demand France in
vaded Mexico Carson appeal.

MERcuRIAL ARITHMETIc.-Alludin to the
proposal to establish a new evening paper

curry infers that the interest on that large
sum would nearly keep the concern afoat.-
We would not advise our friend of the Mer.
curry to become cashier of a first class daily
paper on resources SO slender. The interest
on that sum at two per cent. would be 81. 900
a month. That amount, according to our
own experience, would not pay more than
fourth of the expense. There have been
times when the monthly expenses of the Flag
have been as high.as $4,000; they seldom OF
never fall short of S. 000.-Flag.
According to the above, the running of
daily, at the Bay City, is rather an expensive
luxury.

They have some brilliant census takers in
New York. To the question, "what other
changes in the social condition of the people
have you observed since 1902" the numera-
tor of the town of Conesville returns the
following answer:
A majority of the people have not been as
sociable or as companionable as previous to
the commencement of the war. They charge
Republicans and abolitioDists of being the
cause of the war and prophesied their success
and divided country. But change has
come over the spirit of their dreams; they
now appear sullen and disappointed, and say
little or nothing about the war.

AN '.AIR LINE" RAILRoAD.-The long
mooted project of building a railroad "over.
ground'' on Broadway, New York, is soon to
be experimental on, by Mr.. Richard Mont.
gomery, the protector:
A sample" line will be erected on iron
posts, about half dozen blocks in length, in
order to show the public how the thing
works. Such railway would improve
second story" property vastly, and we
might expect to see all the dry goods and
fancy stores moving up stairs flight to ac-
commodate the fair ones, who would do their
shopping over our heads. But modest pc
destrians on Broadway never ought to look up
under such circumstances.

understand, quite extensively in this place at
the late election: JEFF. Davis. for district at
forney; general Robert E. Lee, for sheriff,
Shook, for public administrator Mrs. Part

A FEMALE refugee (white), who had a
a large family dependent on her at Memphis,
Tenn, and who had only one calico dress,
excited the sympathy of some gentlemen,
who made a collection for her, which amount,

professions of gratitude and at once repaired
to dry goods store. where she paid thirteen
dollars for lace collar.-Er.
This reminds us of one we heard. Down

the remedy for want Of ra!ions, want Of clothes
and blankets, and want Of pay; /. is remedy
against hard duty and cold weather, against
i'll temper and illness, against despair and the
curses Of harsh officers. Dissatisfied for any
reason whatever, the rebel soldier can no longer
fortify bis spirit with any hope Of the success
Of his caVe, and he deserts. So long as the
armies stand still this will 60 on, and even
Increase. Active operations, battles, inspirit
the soldier and stop all this. AS it is a very
cheap way to reduce Lee we can afford to hope
that Grant may not move for some time yet.
Sheridan win be heard Of in good time a.
part of the iron circle that Is closing 80 pitt
lessly around the rebellion. On Wednesday
last, the LIST inst, the Richmond Dispatch in
formed its readers that 90 heavy force, chiefly
cavalry" was advancing up the valley towards
Staunton. That was the day before Sheridan,
as the rebel deserters tell us, defeated Early.
1t is significant fact that the rebel papers
have not given their readers any further
account of the movements Of that "heavy
force" Their silence is a confirmation Of the
report Of Sheridan's victory. From Sheridan
we may not hear directly for some time yet,
unless it shall prove that he was able to send
his prisoners down the valley at once.
