ANOTHER MAN WHO DROVE THE FRENCH

Webb, Minister to Brazil, that his persona
influence with the French Emperor caused
the withdrawal of the imperial troops from
Mexico, is met by "Chevalier Wikof, who
modestly addresses himself to the New York
Herald as Henry Wikof, with the assertion
that he did it His interview with Napoleon
antedates that of the Brazilian Minister
Wikof went to France as the agent of the
New York Herald and Andrew johnson act

to this whole business that differs from those

Blaine should have yielded to the pressure"

able and very able one, when by doing SO he
committed an act of fragrant injustice toward

not the slightest intimation that Mr.. Lynch
expresses or even feels any dissatisfaction, and
certainly he may trust to the future to right
any wrong that may have been committed

THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY. car
loads of new iron from the Portland Rolling
Mills is now on the way to be laid on the
Grand Trunk The most of it will be put
down in New Hampshire, where it is most
needed. The management have adopted a
new plan for laying these rails which really
seems to be great improvement on the old
style. Where the joints come together, two
ties are laid about six inches apart, and across
these where the rails bear strong piece of
wood is laid lengthwise of the track. This
greatly strengthens the part where the most
wear comes. This summer will probably see
great change in this road for the better.
