The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our corre-
spondent in the capital Of France:-
PARIS Nov. 80, 1871.
The government of France is very uneasy
with regard to the aspect and probable ten
dency of affairs in the republic.
The Cabinet has enjoned the observance of
excessive vigilance by its officers.
There is much display of troops of the line
in Paris. Patrols of the republican guards
are employed on duty at all points of the
metropolis every night and policemen are
stationed at every street corner in the city
during the day and night
A GREAT CHANGE EXPECTED.
The public mind is unsettled.
The impression which prevails is to the
governmental or citizen, cannot endure for
any very heightened period.
RossEL's LEGACY OF WARNING.
Rossel's last words, spoken to republican
friend some time before his execution, were !:
eff you have not before long crushed the
army. the army will crush You. Il has al
ways been pr@torlap. t has always formed
distinct party in the country. whereas it
should be national The danger Is pressing.
TnA me republicans have abandoned insurrection.
You did not like the men Of the eighteenth Of
March. I did not like them but it was neces,
sary to join their ranks In order to restrain
them"

a Juror among the Cineinnatians. who
for the past ten days have pretty nearly
had monopoly of her concerts. It is
now positively stated that she viii give
one Concert at Columbus in the early
part of February, an announcement
which very many people hereabouts
anxiously hope may be verified. that an
opportunity may be afforded them of
hearing the famous Swedish songstress.
The Columbus Opera House being
engaged for the week during which Miss
Nilsson will visit that city, it is proposed
that her concert be given in the Second
Presbyterian Church, which, by the way.
IS not half so well adapted for the pur-
pose as IS Williams Opera House, of

audience room and a good audience.

THE OLDEST mAsox.

James Aigen, a veteran Mason Of this
place, writes to the Commercials
read an article in your paper, a few
days ago, from Huntsville, Alabama, in
which the writer (Keystone) claims that
Brother John Richardson. of St. Louis.
Missouri, Is probably the Oldest Mason
IN the United States. having been made
a Mason IN 1872, ffty-nine years ago.
We have living in this place a Broth
er, Moses Bixby, who was made a Mas
ter Mason in January, 1900, sixty-two
years ago, three years before Brother
Richardson was made Mason.
You viii find in the proceedings of
the Grand Lodge of 1910 Brother Blk
by's name. Brother Bixby was the first
Master of Hiram Lodge, IN 1871. He
IS eighty-seven years old, and quite fee
Bile. He was present at the dedication
of our new hall, October 25, 1870, lack
ing three months of being sixty years
since he was installed Master of our
lodge Hiram Lodge, No. I8). He was
much pleased with the proceedings.
To this Mason of Centreyille, In
diana, responds by saying
We are ahead so far, and claim to
have the s'Methusaleh" of Masonry IN
our village. in the person of Israel Abra-
hams, one of our prominent merchants.
a hale and hearty old gentleman aged
about ninety years, who was made a
Mason in 1904, in Barnweu District,
South Carolina, and is consequently In
his sixty-seventh Masonic year.
We have another old Mason in this
town, namely Joseph Holman, the on
ly surviving member of the first Consti-
tutional Convention in this State, now a
lively "old boy" of some eighty-hve win
tiers, who joined the order during the
session of that body at Corydon, in the
summer of 1916, Governor Jonathan
Jennings officiating as Master of the

RELIGIOUS MEETINGS AT OSTRANDER.
According to announcement a delega-
ton of twelve members of the Young
Mems Christian Association of this place
visited Ostrander on Saturday afternoon
for the purpose of holding religious ser
vices. They were cordially received
and held their first meeting on Saturday
evening in the neat little Presbyterian
Church.
On Sunday morning prayer meeting
was held and was followed by preaching
at II o'clock by Rev. R. F. MacLaren,
Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of
this place. whose sermon abounded in
beautiful thoughts and stirring appeals.
In the afternoon a successful children's S
meeting was held with music under the
direction of Prof. O'Kane. The meeting
was addressed by Mr.. MacLaren and
several laymen.
In the evening when the farewell
meeting was held. the house was crowd
ed Mr. MacLaren preached short
sermon which was followed with short
speeches from a number of gentlemen.
The music was inspiring, the remarks
spirited and effective and the meeting
highly profitable When an opportuni-
ty was presented one middle-aged wo-
man arose and asked for the prayers of
Christians.
The church at Ostrander has no pas
tor now and no religious services have
been held there for some time. The
delegation therefore proposed the or
ganization of a Christian Union by
which at least prayer meetings might be
kept up. The idea met with consider
able favor and paper Pledging the
signers to this work received several
signatures.
On Monday morning the delegation
visited several families, where they spent
he time in singing and social chat.
The people seemed much pleased
with the meetings and anxious for their
repetition at an early day.

sHODDv ARoBITEoTURE.

The New York Tribune sweepingly
asserts that there is not city in the
country half as old as New York which
cannot present more picturesque streets
and more beautiful and substantial
buildings than that metropolis. If it
were not for Broadway there would not
be a single avenue worth architectural
examination, and in this. the most pre-
tentious and extensive streetin America,
there are few buildings notable for any
other feature than undue and ambitious
proportions. Built of white marble,
which discolors; brown stone, which
chips and fades; or iron, whose coats
of paint needs constant renewal, they re-
pei by their dingy appearance and nom
descript architecture. From the Battery
to Union-square, in all the business
part of this great and busy thoroughfare,
there IS but one genuine architectural
beauty-the new granite structure of the
German American Bank, on the corner
of Cedar-st

MILL BURNED.-On Saturday even
ing of last week, those who were on the
streets saw the heavens in the south
west suddenly and brilliantly illumina-
ted and were at once convinced that a
large FIRE was raging few miles from
town, but just where no one could say.
Many supposed, and in fact. even
spread the report, that it was the White
Sulphur Springs property-now the Re
form and Industrial School-a very nat
ural impression as so brilliant light
could only be caused by the burning Of
large wooden structure such as the
buildings at the Springs.
On Sunday reports came in that it
was the old Cutler Mill. This mill now
known as the Accommodation Mills
is situated on the Scioto River, about
five miles from town and owned by w.
P. Wentz who had lately bought and re-
fitted it. Fortunately at the time there
was but a small quantity of grain and
-four in the mill, all of which was con.
sumed. The mill was valued at 9o,ooc
and was partially insured to the amount
of s., 500. Mr.. Wentz has lost consid,
cradle but, not disheartened, will, W,
understand. rebuild as soon as tn,
weather will permit.

MAN KnLED.-On Saturday last a
man by the name Of Isaac Thomas
made his appearance in Ashley, having
recently been to Indiana on visit
Thomas after several attempts to Sc
cure something to drink. went to a
physician. telling him he wanted whisky
for his wife, who was sick. The doctor
gave him an order and he took his de-
parture. The next morning the body
was found on the track of the c. c. c.
& I. Railroad. midway between Ashley
and Eden station, with his head and
shoulder crushed in. It IS supposed he
drank the liquor instead of taking it to
his wife and under its influence sat
down on the railroad ties to rest and fell
asleep, and that while he was in this
condition the night train came along
with the above result.
