Michael Carney, the witness who refused to testi-
~ before the state police committee last week. and
for whose arrest an order was passed by the senate,
appeared voluntarily before the committee this fore
noon and was questioned by the counsel for the
petitioners about half an hour. His testimony,
however, was of no importance; he said he had not
paid, directly or indirectly, any member of the
present state force any money presents whatever.
There was some slight transaction in connection
with member of the force soon after its organiza-
ton but the facts could be clearly developed. Mr..
Loveioy, the petitioner, asked Mr.. Carney near
the close of his testimony why he refused to give
in his evidence the other day and he said 1t was be-
cause he opposed to the state police force, and
had nothing which he could say against them; if
he had he would gladly have said it. He was
brought to the bar of the senate this afternoon, and
having testified he was discharged. An order was
then passed for the arrest of Mr. Goddard, of Low

at Versailles intimated to NJ. Thiers the de-
termination of his government to interpose an
armed Intervention in the settlement of the
Paris troubles. To this NJ. Thers emphatically
demurred, and threatened an instant dssolu-
tion of the executive as well as the entire pro-
visonal government of France should Germany
persist in her interference. Upon being made
acquainted with NJ. Theirs intentions in the
premises, Chancellor Won Bismarck, with the
consent Of his government, postponed the

The Programme of the Communisl..


We have every day some news of the varying
fortunes of the communists of Paris in their
struggle against the authority of the Versailles
government, but we are not so well informed of
their ultimate objects, or what they propose TO
do in the event of their success in overthrowing
the provisional government, and getting the
control OF affairs for themselves The London
Standard published about two weeks ago a
translation OF document issued by some of the
"red republican propagandists, and embodying
their ideas of government and social order. The
fundamental idea of this programme is that
"all descriptions of property are to be no longer
individual, bnt national" In every parish
or township industrial societies arctic be formed
and certain period granted to every citizen
within which he must choose which of these
societies he will join. 1t is the right and duty
of each to choose that kind of labor which suits
his physical and mental capacities, but if he re-
fuses to join auy, he will be excluded from all
the public establishments designed to supply the
wants of the commonwealth. This means that
he will be absolutely deprived of the means of
existence, for all property by this scheme is to
belong to the public. He must work, and work
IN some certain fixed place and relation in the
great industrial machine, or die.
Ihe scheme embraces superintendencies re-
porting to local bureaus, and these reporting in
turn to central bureau. All kinds of labor
which require physical force without auv snecial
technical knowledge, are to be performed in ro-
tation by the members Of each section Anv
person who desires to devote his time to sc;en-
tiGe researches or inventions, may apply for
permission to the local bureau, stating definite
ly his project and, il this appears to be feasible
and likely to be useful TO the state, he may have
leave to retire from his working section and ap-
ply himself to bis special undertaking, on condi
ton that be makes regular reports of his prog
ress. The hours of labor are to be fixed by til,
bureaus; and when the fixed number of hours
have been passed in work, the members ma
occupy themselves in any way they like, whicl
is the first stglimpse of freedom and individuality
which the programme has disclosed. There il
another, however, in this paragraph:

The OLIVE CROP OF CALIFoRNIA.-The
Santa Barbara (CaE) Press of April says: The
olive crop of this country promises TO be by far
the largest crop ever raised. The trees are
loaded with blossoms and young fruit, and are
growing very thriftily, while many hundreds are
coming into bearing from the cuttings recently
set out. This may be said in favor Of the olive,
and almond likewise, that it is never-failing
crop. In very few years we shall begin to
snip the products of these two trees, the olive
ana M the almond, in quantities which will relieve
one constant drain upon the currency of the
county. In no case of which we have learned

There is now prospect that work will soon
be renewed, in the Pennsylvania coal mines. A
committee of the miners association, and ten of
the operators, met at Mauch Chunk, Monday, to
act as arbitrators The first business was to
choose an umpire. After proposing, discussing,
and rejecting five or six gentlemen, the parties
voted unanimously to select Judge Elwell, of
Columbia county Then several hours were
spent in attempting to choose another man to
take the place, in case Judge Elwell should de-
cline to serve. Finally, Judge Sharding, of Lu-
zerne county, was chosen. 1t was voted, also'
that any question, to be carried in the meeting
of arbitrators, must get q two-thirds vote of
each side. Judge Elwell has consented to serve
as umpire, and is now with the arbitrators.
Probably the conference will last several days.
1t is confidently hoped that the controversy will
now be settled. Both parties are so largely rep
resented in this conference, that there can be no
doubt that work will be renewed Immediately,
if the deliberations going on reach satisfacto-
rY conclusion,

HAGGLING IN THE HIGHLANDs.-ltis is odd IN
notice the style in which the country-folks corn.
ing into Stornoway go about their purchases
For instance, man comes into town 10 buy
bonnet, "a Scotch cap.) He goes first to the
draper's, and after lounging about in the shon
looking round, and perhaps offering an occa.
sional remark on the weather and other general
subjects, as if he had no intention of MAKING a
purchase, (for the people consider the space out
side the counter to be public propertyl he M
last approaches the business that brought him.
He tries on a variety of bonnets, asks the prices
and takes particular note of the bonnets thai
suit him. He then leaves the shop and pro-
ceeds to another draper's where he goes throuob
the same process, and, having gone round the
town in this way, returns to the place where he
thinks he will make the best bargain. After a
great deal of baggling to bring down the prices,
ne perhaps makes the purchase but if not salts
ned he Will go away, to return some other day
ana see II he cannot get the article for
penny or half-penny less. This style of busi-
ness is not confined to the Lews. A gentleman
connected with the Perth and Iverness railw ay
told me that when that line was first open ed
some OF the natives, wholly unaccustomed to
hXed prices, endeavored to deal with the ticket
clerk as they would with shop-keeper. The
following was one of the dialogues that ensued:
Conntryman-"What is the price to Kingns-
ser Ticket-clerk-"Two and eigbtpence."
,in Two ant and eightpence! aoch, neverl III give
you TWO shillings." "There is no reduction.
The fare is two aud eight" "Make it two and
tuppence and its bargain" II tell you the
fare is two and eightpence." 'It's only mat
ter OF thirty mile" II doesn't matter what it is
That Is the fare" ''Pll give you two and three
pence" 1T won't do" "Fwo and fourpence,
then" "No, nor two and fourpence" At two
and sixpence he made dead stand, and find
ing the clerk inexorable went away and waited
till the next train, when he came back with
his offer of the two and sixpence, in hopes of
finding the clerk more accommodating.

How THE SOUTH is FURNISHED WITH
BooKs.-This is the way they go about the
business of establishing school libraries in the
state of Kentucky: About twenty-five years
ago, one Judge Collins, of Maysville, published
volume of stories about Indians, horrible and
pathetic, interlarded with descriptive sketches
of the counties of the state, thus combining in
struction with amusement. At the last session
of the legislature, Mr.. R. H. Collins, a son of
the judge, secured the passage of an act to SUBJ
init to the voters in each school district the
question whether or not they would purchase as
foundation for school library a copy of a
new and revised edition of this work. to be is
sued under his supervision. How easily the
passage Of this act was procured NAV be
imagined, in view of the fact that one of the
new features of the work is to be biographical
sketches of the members of the late legislature
and, 1T is reported, their portraits also The
bill was passed on the 21st of March. and the
question was to be submitted on the first of
April, all school districts which did not reject
the proposition to be considered as HAVING
adopted it, and to be put down for copy. One
of the charming features Of this remarkable ed
ucatlonal enterprise is, that the expense of pub.
fishing these legislators biographies does not
come out OF their own pockets, but is to be maid
out Of the school fund. Already the yout6 of
Kentucky are nourished on what is called a
