FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATEs.-Those who
are at this time taking every occasion to refer
to the assistance rendered to America by France
in the Revolution, should take the trouble to
understand the facts. The French Bourbons-
the elder and younger branches Of the family
have shown their friendship for this country
in both of our great wars-that of l77G and
1861. Louis XVI. sent us military assistance
Tn the Revolution, and two of the Orleans
Princes served in our army in the war against
the rebellion. But to the Napoleonc dynasty as
represented in the first and second Empires, we
cannot say we are much indebted Napoleon |.
sold us Louisiana for good round price, be-
cause he couldn't help it; and Napoleon III.
during the late war, made repeated and determ-
ned attempts to form n military alliance against
us, for our destruction. The Bourbons be-
friended us, and we must not loose sight Of the
fact; Napoleon tried to destroy us and we have
not forgotten it, Why should we feel very
grateful to Napoleon for the services rendered
us by the Bourbon family, which he has always
prosecuted ?-New York Tribune.

DEATH OF A WOMAN FROM EATING Her Own
HAIR.-Dr. Lancaster has held an inquest on the
body of Harriet Apams, aged twenty years, who
had died in ST. Pancras Workhouse lnfrmary
from the effect of eating her own hair. DR.. Ellis,
medical officer Of the lnfrmary, said deceased
was admitted into the insane ward on the 9th of
December last and died on July 30th. She was
imbecile, but nothing was known of her or her
antecedents. On the 3lst of March last she COM
menced splitting blood, owing 20 something, in
his belief, which she had swallowed. From
this period she continued gradually to waste
away and get weaker till she died. He made
post mortem examination. The body was ex-
tremely emaciated, and he found imbedded in
the stomach and intestines quantity of human
hair--uo doubt her own-and wool which the
deceased had eaten. The effect of the secretion
of this hair and wool had been to produce ulcer
alton of the stomach and cause death. yer-
dict in accordance with the ,eedical evidence

NUMBER 81.
Employ ment of Boys.

We have several times of late advocated the
prudential policy of getting up some kind of in
dustres, in which boys, or even girls can get
employment. We supposed of course, that
there could be no objection urged to such a pol
icy. boy must be taught usefulness while he
is growing up, he is apt to be useless to him
self and to the world after he is grown. The
world, 1t would seem, owes the duty to Il boy to
give him employment, and certainly patriotism,
which goes further than the present, demands
that boys be good and useful men. We have ac-
cordingly suggested that in these mountains
various manufactures might be proftably
started our boots and shoes might be made
here more than they now are made heavier
clothing could be sewed together here above
all, silk can be cultivated here All of these
would give the rising generation more en-
ployment, useful employment, than it now has,
and at the same time add to the development of
the states resources and increase the States
wealth. But We heard an objection the other
day to any such enterprises. The objector ad-
vanced startling proposition. He said that if
boys and girls can be proftably employed, and
thus help to support family wages must be
lowered. He contended that the more of those
now idle who are put to work the cheaper must
be wages The country, in such an event,
would be cheaper to live in, but work would be
as hard as ever.
II mulberry trees grow, and skworms eat the
leaves, and the worms spin silk, aud BOYS and
girls watch the process and get paid for the
watching, too many people will como here and
raise fruit and vegetables, and living will be put
down, while the rocks will remain as hard to
the drill rs ever, and men will not get rs much
money for what they do as they will get ii af-
fairs are allowed to 60 on in the old way. The
man advocating this doctrine is in earnest He
knows if boys are taught to work they may
come into competition with himself This is
about the opinion held by some of the trades
unions. Boys must not be taught trade be-
cause trade may be oversocked with opera
tives in it. boy has no right to be born, be-
cause as he grows up he may got in some mans
way. In the way the industry of the world is
now being governed, the boys have no rights.
Only few can be allowed to have employment,
for fear they will produce, and that production
will lessen the necessity for labor. Boys must
not work for fear men will not have the opportu-
nifty to work the harder. Machinery has been
taught to do much of the tedious and exhaustive
work that men once had to do, and boys must
not learn to make or to guide the machinery, in
order that machinery in the future shall not en-
roach further on the fields of toll. Make half the
world idlers that those employed may pay n
poor tax on the idle is the modern doctrine is
the craftsmanship thrust upon the world by the
selishness Of organizations. Grass Valley

REMARKABLE CREvIcE.-The White Pine
Daily Necs of September Sd, has the following ::
At the northern end of Blue hill near the
Truckee mine, not long since was discovered Il
remarkable crevice or natural shaft in the lime
stone. Tt was found while digging for mineral
and struck ten fifteen feet from the surface
At that depth an aperture was disclosed iu the
rock of sufficient width to admit the entrance of
a man, passing through which it widens to
greater proportions. Its depth is not known,
as no one has yet been able, or boldly enough
inclined to attempt its exploration. Our inform
ant states that he descended to the depth of near
two hundred feet, almost perpendicular, and yet
saw no evidence of its termination. The entire
crevice is lined with stalactites most beautiful,
and which resembles coral more than anything
else we can compare them to-miniature forest,
with trees and shrubs Of fantastic shape, appear
upon everyside, fashioned by natural causes, of
solid stone.

A TRUTH-TELLER. of the remarkable fea-
lures of the war in Europe has been the marked
contrast in the character of official dispatches on
either side. Those of the French Emperor were
first vainglorious, and then deceitful while all
that have come from his Generals, equally with
the few statements wrung from his Ministers,
have been worked in a way to magnify petty ad-
vantages and to conceal serious reverses. On
the German side we have had few short, sim
pie dispatches from King William, always an
nouncing victory, and invaribly telling the
truth, indulging in no bravado and no offensive
exultation. The public came to expect and rely
upon these brief dispatches. The frst addressed
to the Queen and announcing that " Our Fritz
has won victory" had domestic simplicity
thoroughly in keeping with the German char
actcr. The last closes with this very striking
expression What course events, with Gods
guidance, have taken !" There is self-con-
tanned seriousness about this vigorous old Chief,
now past three score and ten, which is very inn
pressive.-BHiietin.

DON'T CROWD.

Don't crowd; this world is broad enough,
For you as well as me;
The doors of art are open wide
The realm Of thought is free;
OF all earth's places you are right
To choose the best you can,
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can count
Your piles of golden ore,
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gaunt famine from his doorl
OF willing hands and honest heart
Alone shall man be proud;
Then give him all the room he needs,
And never try to crowd.
Don't crowd, proud Miss your dainty silk
viii glisten none the less,
Because it comes in contact with
beggars tattered dress.
This lovely world was never made
For you and | alone;
A pauper has right to tread
The pathway to a throne.
Don't crowd the good from out your heart
BY fostering all that's bad,
But give to every virtue room,
The best that may be had;
Be each days record such n one
That you may well be proud
Give each his right-give each his room,
And never try to crowd.

that the present instance will be any exception

once reposed the bones of many of CALIFORNIA; s

to the erection of a new City Hall. The steam
paddy occasionally unearths, or rather unsands,

was overlooked during the general removal of
remains that took place few months ago On
Wednesday five coffins were disclosed lying to-
gether, one of which on being exposed to the
atmosphere crumbled to pieces, revealing nothing
but mass of beautiful tresses, fully two and n
half feet long. In another coffin few bones
and an empty whisky bottle were all that re-

resident, whose friends in grim joke had fur

loved so we'll in life But few years longer

seven hundred years tribulaton of the Irish race

pretext of being the natural ally of Prussia-the
ultimate object of Russia Ito which she has so
faithfully adhered every opportunity since the
death of Peter the Great) will be to subjugate
Palestine and Turkey; proceed with her vast
armies and navies along the Mediterranean; in

A NICE LITTLE GAME OF PoKER.-A Louisville
man on his travels relates the following scene
on a Mississippi steamer;
We soon enlivened by the appearance
of n Cincinnati sport, route for the springs
and Louisville clothier going to New Orleans
who began to play a lively game, twenty. five
cents ante and no limit at all. Our sympathies
were soon arrayed on the side of Louisville,
who played a square game, and against Cincin-
natl, who ruug in all the foul tricks he knew
Louisville was little, dark haired, bright-eyed
man, German and Jew, but MS honest as day.
Cincinnati was big, red-faced moustachio,
pretty sharp and thoroughly INSCRIPTIONS.
When Cincinnati had won about three hun
dred dollars, one of us took Louisville aside and
told him what was going on, while another stuck
an ace up ono sleeve and king up the other
"Now, said they, g he's been cheating you
from the first, and if you want to get even, you
must do as we tell you"
Louisville said he would.
They told him to wait until he got two aces
or two kings, then to fetch down one of the odd
cards from his sleeve and to ego i'm
The very next hand he got four kings
They began to bet. Cincinnati saw his ten
and went five better Louisville went fifty bet
ter. Cincinnati raised him hundred. Louis
vile came to time and added fifty to it, Gin
cinnati responded and put hundred more
Louisville said q am in, and called him
table, and Cincinnati laid down four aces
Louisville roked the money in his lap and laid
down fve kings.
"Why," said Cincinnati "That's barefaced
swindling."
"Swindling pc DAM said Louisville. "Its
peen swindling all de time" bringing his fist
down fat.

"Well, !" said Cincinnati, rising, " l think I'll

Oh, my Abcdnego," said another voice.
But little Louisville rose up, and poking out
his neck and his hand far they would
reach he says I" Fight it2-Fight | fights

Cincinnati concluded he wouldn't fight. He
said the crowd was against him, declared he
couldn't get fair play, and got off at the next
