COUNT RocHAMBEAU is reported as wri-
ting to the Marquis De Lafayette, in
1880. that no men are more easily bea-
ten than the French soldiers, when they
lose confidence in their leaders, and
that they lose that confidence lmmedi-
ately when they find themselves sacri-
feed to mere personal interest II ambi-
ton. These views, expressed when the
French fleet and army were laying in a
state Of inactivity near Newport, Rhode
Island, it is believed, explain the rever-
ses of the French army of 1870.

Mark Twain Contrasts the Preachers
with the Actors and Writers.
From the Galaxy for February


The pulpit teaches assemblages of
people twice week-nearly two hours,
altogether-and does what it can in
audiences seven times week-twenty-
eight or thirty hours altogether; and
the novels or newspapers plead, and ar
que, and illustrate, stir, move, thrill,
thunder, urge, persuade and supplicate,
at the feet of millions and millions of
people every single day, and all day
long, and far into the night; and SO
these vast agencies till nine-tenths of
the vineyard, and the pulpit tills the
other tenth. Yet now and then some
complacent blind idiot says: "You
unanointed are coarse clay and useless ;
you are not as we, the regenerators of
the world; go bury yourselves else
where, for we cannot take the response
bility of recommending idlers and sin
ners to the yearning mercy of Heaven"
How does a soul like that stay in car
cass without getting mixed with secre-
tions and sweated out through the
pores? Think of this insect condemn
ing the whole theatrical service as dis
seminator of bad morals because it has
Black Crooks in it; forgetting that
if that were sufficient ground, people
would condemn the pulpit because it
had Cooks and Kallooks and sabines
in it.
But to cease teaching and to 60 back
to the beginning again, was it not
pitiable, that spectacle? Honored and
honorable old George Holland, whose
theatrical ministry had for fifty years
softened hard hearts, bred generosity
in cold ones, broadened bigoted ones,
and made many and many stricken
one glad and filled it brim full of
gratitude, figuratively spit upon him in
his unofending coffin by this crawling,
shiny, sanctimonious, seEf-righteous rep
tile

BUHsA-As NERCoTIC.-A narcotic
used by the inhabitants of Central Asia,
known as Buhsa, is prepared by the
Kirghises by rubbing millet to pulp
with water, and after diluting this with
still more water, and occasionally with
mares milk, the mixture is poured into
a large stone jar, tightly corked and
buried in the soil. 1t is left for ten
days, and after being taken up, the fluid
is transferred to glass bottles, which,
after being corked, are left standing,
few days, when they are ready for sale.
A large amount of carbonic acid is
formed in those bottles, which escapes
when they are uncorked. The taste is
tart and spirituous, and is offensive be-
fore one is accustomed to it. owing to
the presence of fusil oils. This drink is
very popular, but rather intoxicating,
and it's use has been forbidden by the
Russian military authorities.

JULES FAvRE has recently written a
letter to friend in Illinois, regretting
that the policy of the United States as
regards France has been affected by the
influence of the German emigrants.
Favre says that it is real grief to find
this influence interposed between two
nations who, for century, had been ac-
customed to be united by close friend
ship. He argues that, even if the de-
testable Imperial policy during the war
of secession, and especially the fatal ex-
pedition to Mexico, changed these sem
timents, France, restored to herself,
should, at this time, by the simple pres
tige of her regained liberty, efface these
disogreeable impressions. Favre also
expresses his gratitude to Mr.. Wash
burne, the United States Minister, for
friendly feelings towards the French
Republic, and for his honorable efforts
to procure for it the benefit of a quiet
and lasting peace.

A STEAMSHIP LINE between New Or
leans, Havana, Vera Cruz, and several
ports on the Mexican coast, is about to
be established at New Orleans, the foun-
ders of the company have resolved not
to depend on Congress for a subsidy,
but to rely on the large and increasing
trade of the ports of the United States
on the Gulf of Mexico, and on obtaining
a favorable market for the produce of
the Mississippi Valley. This project, it
is asserted, can hardly fail to yield large
profits, and is an instance of how much
better such matters can be conducted
without aid from the Government.

THE UGLY CoUPLE.-When Mr.. Fanar
was ballet-master at the Opera in
the Haymarket, London, Soderini went
on the stage and said to him: " "Allow
me, dear sir, to introduce myself to you
you are the dearest friend | have upon
earth; let me thank you a thousand
times for the happiness you have con-
ferred on me by coming among us
command me in any way, for whatever
/ do for you can never sufficiently re-
pay YOU" The ballet-master, who had
never seen or heard of Soderini before,
was astounded. At last he said Pray,
sir, to what peculiar piece of good for
tune may | attribute the compliments
and professions with which you favor
me?'' "To your unparalleled ugliness,
my dear sir" replied Soderini;" for, be-
fore your arrival, / was considered the
ugliest man in Great Britain" The ballet
master (strange to say, since he really
was so ugly) took the joke in good part,
and they became extremely intimate |;
but amiable as they were to each other,
they were universally known as the uglp
couple. This anecdote Soderini related
himself.

ADVENTURES OF A PARIS BALLooN.-A
balloon which left Paris recently with
two passengers and a great bulk of cor
respondence, was seen the same day to
pass over Brussels. The persons in
charge had been told by the chief of
the Aeronautical Department in Paris
that with the force of wind then blow
ing their progress would be about five
leagues per hour. Two hours after their
departure they were over Brussels, but,
relying upon the information they re-
ceived, they believed they were not
more than ten leagues from Paris, and
therefore feared to descend, lest they
should fall into the hands Of the Ger
mans. They continued their course,
but in less than an hour they came
within sight of the sea. The balloon
was then 1900 metres from the earth,
but the travellers, perceiving the peril
Gus nature of their position, imme-
diately cut open the silk in various
places. The descent was made with
fearful velocity, and when the car dashed
upon the earth the two travellers were
thrown out, but although they tainted,
they were not seriously hurt. One
packet of dispatches was also thrown
out, but the balloon, with the remain
der, after being relieved from their
weight, Immediately rose. 1t was ulti-
mately seen to fall into the sea.

AN old farmer was out one fine day
looking over his broad acres, with an
axe on his shoulder and small dog at
his heels. They espied a woodchuck.
The dog gave chase and drove him into
a stone wall, where action Immediately
commenced. The dog would draw the
woodchuck partly out from the wall,
and the woodchuck would take the dog
back. The old gentleman's sympathy
getting high on the side Of the dog, he
thought he must help him. So putting
himself in position with axe above the
dog, waited for the extraction of the
woodchuck, when he would cut him
down. So an opportunity offered and
the old man struck, but the woodchuck
gathered up at the same time, took the
dog in far enough to receive the blow,
and the dog was killed on the spot.
For years after, the old gentle
man, in relating the story, would al
ways add: "And that dog don't know
to this day but what the woodehuck
killed him."

AUTHORITY OF COUNTY CoHMIs-

The Supreme Court of Nevada IN
deciding the case of Ellis i King VS..

sioners have the authority to employ
additional counsel to protect the III
terests of the county whenever re-
ouired. The suit was brought by
Ellis < KingforS1. 900, on Il contract
with Nashoe county to assist in the
case involving the act OF the last
LEGISLATURE removing the county seat
70 Reno. The Commissioners al
lowed the bill, but the Auditor and
Recorder refused to pay it. The
Court says:
