French Democracy.

A variety Of causes has contributed
to promote. the present democratic resur-
rectioln. Within the last ten years
Francs has been surrounded with cir
Gle 81 fre.' Contrary to Louis Napo-
Icons original plan, united Italy was
formed by the Garibaldian initiative
The yery failure of Italian democracy
before Rome rebounded upon the lmpe-
rial system; it was too much for the
French people to be thrice made the
"soIdier Of the Pope" On the other
side of the ocean the French ruler meant
to found sLatin empire and to aid
in the ruin of the Anglo-Saxon republic
of the North. Instead of this, no was
ANONYMOUSLY driven out from Mexico,
and this defeat, combined with the trl-
umph of the United States, at once low
cred his military prestige and gave an
impetus to the ideas which are embed
led in the American Constitution.
Neither was that which happened in
Germany.calculated to render the posi-
ton Of Louis Napoleon more comforta-
BILE. The, "Chauyinist" party were Of
fended BY the unexpected rearing up Of
a rival military power, and by the in
suficiency, as they considered it, OF the
concession made in the Luxembourg
auafter.. The democrats felt it as a
sting, that, elderly as in Austria and in
other Souths German States should have
taken the start Of the France Of 1892,
1880, and ls48. Meantime, England's
popular forces were brought up in the
Reform movement: the earnest determ-
ination and the joyous tumuit Of those
popular strivings could not but awaken
an echo in the French nation. 4 hen

with as much ease as if a mere spiders
web had to be brushed away.
South. north, east, west, on this and
on the other side of the ocean, France
found herself morally outfanked; and
this was more than she could brook.
Tie military establishment of France
now consists of nearly one million four
hundred thousand men. This is one of
the grievences of the people which may
have found its vents in the recent votes.
France is being soldiered out of the very
marrow of its life, and it does not relish
it. The average size Of its men has
constantly diminished within the last
eighty years. The effects Of the great
Napoleonic wars are visible even now in
the slow progress Of the population. -

Curious Facts About Ice.

Besides the fact that ice is lighter
than water, there is another curious
thing about it which mos. persons dc
not know, porhaps-nemoly, its puri-
ty. A lump of ice melted will become
pure distilled water. When 'he early
nav,gators of the Arc ic seas got out Of
water, they melted lragmen' $ of those
vast mountains of ice called ice bergs
and were astonished to find hat they
yielded only .esh water.
They thought thew were only frozen
sea water, not knowing ,hat they were
formed on the land and N some way
launched into the sea.
But if they had been right the result
would have been the same.
The fact is, the water in fleeing
turns out of it all that is not water;salt,
air, coloring matter and all impurities.
Frozen sea water makes fresh water
ice. If you freeze basin Of indigo
water it will make ice as clear and as
white as that made OF pure rain water.
When the cold is very sldden, these
foreign matters have not time to escape
either by rising or sinking, and are
thus entangled with the ice, but do not
make any part oft.

who had married his wife. Lie lost no
time in starting for Illinois. lie found
his wife in deep mourning for her late
husband. and She had added another
infantiIe to the family circle. Tom
made himself known to her, and was
roioiced to find that she still loved him
as fondIy as ever. 1t was some time
before he could convince her that he
was not a ghost returned from the other
world. In order to make things sure
the parson was called in and Tom and
his wife were married over again.
They went to New York, where they
are still living, as happy couple as you
will find in Gotham. They live in a
brown stone front, and the family, when
| saw them, were preparing to add ans
other little link to its circle. VI course,
they do not tell everybody about their
family matters, but you can rely upon
his story as strictly true. The ending
is rather better than that Of Enoch Ar
en-, and / think Adams would do a
good thing if he would depart from the
version of Tennyson and in the last act
get Phillip Ray ground up In his own
mill-accidentiy, of course-make poor
Enoch step in and enjoy the wife and
the fortune left behind -
"What about the picture Of Tom
wife found in the pocket of the dead
soldier"
ooh, I forgot about that, Tom says
when he was wounded and left upon
the field straggler came along and be
stopped him. Surprising he would
bleed to death, he gave the picture to
the stsaggler, with message for his
wiley The rebel cavalry made a charge
soon after and killed the straggler, with
the picture of Toms wife in his bosom,
and carried Tom eff to Andersonville.
That accounts for the picture being
found and causing everybody to be-
ieve that Tom was killed.

Reports from the Asiatic squad
POn-Aflairs i'm japan.

The Navy Department is in receip
of dispatches from Admiral Rowan, ii
Command of the Asiatic squadron, le-
porting the health Of the squadron ii
good condition, and American interests
flourishing in Chinese waters.
Some Of the private advices received
with Admiral Rowan's dipatc hes art
exceedingly interesting. An officer Of
the flagship of the squadron, writing
home under date of August %, anc
describing some of the incidents of the
Late civil war in Japan, says;
Euomato, a damio of remarkable
bravery, was the last of the rebel chiefs
to give in, which he did only when re-
duced to the greatest extremity. The
Micido had the tStonewall,' with quite a
! large feet ct wooden gunboats, but, not
withstanding this, Enomato,s ounboats
boldly walked into them, and succeeded
in chasing them around the harbor of
Hokodadi. The .''Stonowall' people
were afraid of their big gun, and did
not fire it more than a few times, while
the gunboats of Enomato peppered them
all the time, and finally succeeded in
shooting away her fore-yard, which was
too much for the 'Japs' in the Stone
wall and they immediatelo skedad-
died.
When Enomato found that his few
vessels were insufficient TO cope with the
force opposed to them, he ordered them
in under the guns of his forts and then
blew them up. After they had
blown up, the water YVES covered with
wooden shells, made and painted in
imitation of the Armstrong projectile;
showing that some sharp Yankee had
been visiting Japan, and how the rascal
had made fortune. After the gum
boats had blown up, he.Micado's forces
stormed and took the forts of Enomato;
and here comes the most infamous part
of the story; they took the prisoners
and bored holes in their hands; through
these holes rove a rope, and thus drove
them away to prison. The dead were
left upon tho field for the dogs and
crows to feed upon. Andersonville and
Libby pale before the treatment receive
ed by the people. There was rumor
during the war that Enomato would
receive commission as admiral for his
bravery; but nothing of the kind has
taken place. Enomato is held rs a
prisoner, while hundreds Of his mon
were beheaded. Japan is rich old
country. They take fellows head off

The Japanese parliament has met
and concluded its labors at Yeddo, and
have dissolved. They at first debated
as to the propriety of cutting off the
heads of all vile foreigners with our own
sharp swords, and thus rid the country
of their presence. But after long dis
cussion and mature deliberation they
came to the conclusion that foreigners
were too much for them, so they recon-
mended tolerance and liberal treat
ment of the barbarians--very sensible
on the part of the Japanese, as the
English and French are only waiting
favorable opportunity to 'gobble the
whole concern a la China

Train on the Panic.

George Francis Train, who knows all
about everything, of course knows some
thing about the panic. He addressed a
very respectable assemblage of moneyed
men, bankers and brokers, on the situa
ton of affairs, at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, last Wednesday evening:
