J. W. FonNEr, writing from Paris, gives tho fol-
lowing interesting coup docil Of the French Low

FOR CONTINUED succession Of monotouous and

the country along the Inca OF railway in South

A PARTIAL IDEA Of tho oItont OF tho lumber
business Of the NorthHoat can bo obtained from
the following article, which wo copy from the st.
Paul Press: ''OYer one hundred million feet OF
logs have foated upon tho spring floodn down tho
upper tributaries Of the Mississippi, and are now
safely doomed at various points on tho Mssissppi
above tho fals Of b. Anthony, to be sswed into as
many feet Of lumber this year--a largo increase
over the supply Of any previous year. A nearly
equal amount, or about ninety millions Of feet,
