He looked dazed for moment He had not heard of

This is not uncommon in France Dumas, the younger,
in bis powerful novel "LAGaire Comenceau," intro

amuses himself by attending the 1oggng Of his fathers
slaves.
"Eh bien,o he sighed. "This has come too late for

WEATHER items are quite plentiful, and
of very opposite character, just now.
The telegraph reported snow storm in
the Rocky mountains, in Colorado Terri
tory, on Friday, and in Montana the
weather is represented as exceedingly
cold, the thermometer being down to the
freezing point While our territorial
friends are thus suffering, an item comes
from Iowa which shows greater degree
of suffering there. One of our exchanges
says: SIT is so hot in Iowa City that the
catfish come out under the trees and fan
themselves with their tails" But Indi-
ana, according to veracious news
monger, is not for behind Iowa. For in
stance:
''By d singular coincidence a pair of
egg merchants at Independence, Iowa,
last week, Internationally became poul-
terers on a large scale. The porter sud
denly heard noise in the storeroom,
where there were 10000 dozen of eggs
packed away preparatory to being
shipped East and on going to see what
was the matter, found 100, 900 chickens
running about the floor. The mercury
being 100 degrees they shelled out"
1t does not detract from the truth of
this story that the eggs were packed for
shipping. 1t was so hot the boxes and
barrels expanded and the little chicken 8
crept through the Cracks"

The Cincinnati Chronicle radical

THE Cincinnati Chronicle RADICAL
says:
Frederick r Butler, of Tennessee, is
to be put on trial, according to a Wash
ington dispatch, for forgery. The of
tense, as stated, is precisely similar to
one for which a claim agent was put on
trial in New York city, three or four
years ago, at the instance of the Com
missioner of Pensions. The trial re-
suited in the acquittal of the respondent,
and we are not aware of any conviction
having been obtained in any such case,
though the practice was common with
claim agents, we believe, in various parts
of the country. The right of a claim
agent on the strength of a general power
of attorney to prosecute pension claim,
to endorse his clients name on the back
of money draft given in payment of a
pension, was practically sust aimed by the
New York court. We think the decis-
ion wrong, and the District Court in Ten
nessee may reverse it.
1t is understood that Butler is to be
tried before the District Court at WASH
ington, where the Commissioner of Pen
sions can prosecute the case. If this be
so, we may hope that justice will be done
Butler, who, according to reports from
the Pension Bureau, has been guilty of
repeated frauds. The Deputy United
States Marshal left Knoxville Saturday
to arrest Butler.

President looks, and he got sued. Col.
VIM. II. Stark commenced a damage
suit against him for s., 900, for the value
of the celebrated pacing stallion Wyan-
dotte Chief, who was paStured at Gen.
Grants farm, on the Gravois road, and
was severely kicked by horse belonging
to Col. c. w. Ford, on the 18th of May
last, and died from the injuries on the
4th of June. The horse was one of the
noted PAGERS of the West, having in his
time beaten Ace of Diamonds and Billy
Boyce, to wagons, in two minutes and
twenty-nine seconds. He was ten years
of age, and Col Stark was offered So, 900
for him previous to his injuries. The pa
pers were placed in the hands of the sher-
if Friday afternoon, and service was
made upon the General in due form. The
case will be tried at the next term of the
Circuit Court.

THE animus of the French people in

foreshadOwed by the Courier des Flats

leaves US to be beaten! What matter
that there is a man named Napoleon, if
Napoleon is cddUc and his hand too

THE GREAT

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has beon
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS.
TRATION, Is THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The introduction Of
PLANTATION BITTERS, Pre-
pared with pure St Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes Of the
world to this great fact. The life-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested in
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change . If
the appetite has failed, 1t Ia quickened;
if digestion has been painful and imper-
feet, 1t becomes easy and thorough; II
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; If the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrung; If the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies, thsy
are put to fight and hope and cheerful

binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
sia biliousness, constipation and mental

In a frantic outburst as to what the
Radical party has accomplished, the
Columbus (OhiO) State Journal says, by
the way of grand climax:
"Shall this party now be permitted to
die Is there nothing more left for it to
accomplish 2"
To this the Columbus Statesman re-
plies: Not much. Make arrangements
for the funeral, and the Democracy will
see the corpse is provided. A. D. 1870
is only half gone, and Connecticut, Ore
gon, New York, Tennessee, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Idaho and Montana have
decidedly expressed themselves in favor
of funeral. The groans of the Journal
are pitiable, but where dry ret has set in
there is no help for the animal affected.
