A son was born to Marshal Bazaine re-
Gently, which, although 1t saw the light
in Germany, was still born on Trenoh

Fate seems to frown on France from

Auburn, ILL.,, has had great scandal
There cam0 to TINT place, from Ohio, a
young gentleman who had eloped with
his step-mother! The father and hus-
band wrote to the errant wife to come
home and be forgiven; she swore that
she would rather die than leave her ''af-
finity," and the youth was equally ardent.
But father came after her and carried her
of. leaving his son inconsolably bowling.
Children have not usually been over
fond Of step mothers, generally manifest
ing a disposition To run away from them
rather than with them. However, these
odd things are not without precedent,
ancient and classical.

toward smoothing the road to n substan-
