The COmmander-in-Chie of the Frenc!,
Army of the North.

Louis Leon Caesar Faidherbe, now
Chief of the French
Army of the North, was born at Lille
on the Sd of June, 1918. He was ed.
ucated at the college in that place, en-.
tered the polytechnic school in 1888.
then went on to the military school al
Metz, which he left in 1912 with lieu.
tenants commission in the LIST regiment
of engineers. He served first in AL.
geria, where he remained throughout
1874 and 1916. Having obtained the
rank of captain, he sailed, in 184S, fo1
La Guadalupe, where he acquired
much colonial experience, and became
Injured to life in the tropics Having
failed in obtaining an appointment
at Senegal, he returned to Algeria
in 1850, where he constructed the
outlying fort of Bou-Saada, took part
in the campaign of Kabylia, under
Gen. Saint-Arnaud, and also in the ex-
pedition of Gen. Bosquet to the Alger-
ian highlands. The services he per-
formed at the time of the disaster
which then occurred were rewarded by
the Cross of the Legion of Honor. AT
the end of that year-1S52-he was, at
his reiterated request, sent to Senegal.
Here he soon gave proofs of remarkable
administrative ability, and, after two
years residence, showed such knowl-
edge of the needs, the dangers, the
economy, and the practical policy OF
the colony that in 1854 he was made
Governor of the French possessions in
Senegal. M. Faidherbe now devoted
himself to the fulfllment of the task
he had SO long wished to take in hand
the thorough renovation of the colony.
He carried on a successful warfare with
the Moors of Furza, but his principal
warlike achievement was the struggle
he carried on for some time, and over a
great extent of territory, with
the prophet El-Hadji- Omar, who
had conceived the idea Oh
founding vast Mussulman Empire in
Central Africa, and driving out all for
eign intruders. He compelled this
apostle of Islam to submit in 1860, and
left Senegal to command the sub-divis-
ion of Sidi-bel-Abbes, having been
made Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers
in 1855, and Colonel in 1853. But his
absence was soon felt in the colony, his
policy was not maintained, his instruc-
lions were neglected, and everything
refrigerated. On the Goth of May,
1868, NJ Faidherbe, raised to the rank
of Brigadier- General, resumed the reins
of government in Senegal. Two years
after, his health requiring his return to
less murderous climate, he took the
highest command in the subdivision OF
Bone. M. Faidherbe has written much
on the manners, language, and history
of the African nations, as well as on the
topography, geology and archaeology Of
the districts they inhabit. He is a
member of the Geographical Societies
of Paris, London and Berlin.

A GERMAN officer writes from before

A GERMAN officer writes from before
Paris that the outposts had suddenly
opened a brisk musketry fire on some
evening previous. On fastening to
find out what was the matter, it was
discovered that some Bavarian pickets
had captured anumber Ofsacks OF pota-
toes. A detachment of French had at
tempted to harvest some potatoes from
a field lying between the two armies. -
The Bavarians had noticed them from
the start, but had refrained from Civ
ing the alarm, noiselessly creeping up
to them. They waited till the French
had dug up all the potatoes they want
ed, putting them in sacks, and were
about to depart. They then opened
fred on them, scattering the French,
who fed back to the city in hot haste,
although they probably did not know
that they were vastly superior to the
Germans in number. Our Bavarians
now took the potatoes which the French
had dug for them, and had not been
able to take away, and carried them in
triumph to their own camp.

Wild Game Crowding the Settlers in
California.

The Sacramento Union says: FIn
1913 and 1919 deer and grizzly bear
were very abundant in the Sierra Ne
vada mountains and in the foothills.
No hilly coun nv in the world had more
of these two species of game 1t was
not uncommon to find as low down as
Georgetown, Placerville, Murphy's and
even Bear Mountain (thirty-fve miles
east of Stockton, half dozen grizzlies
in band and a dozen deer in a herd.
But from 1851 to 1862 the presence of
the miners, with their destructive rifles,
thinned out the deer and bear so that
it was rare sight to see one of either
species anywhere in the placer belt.
From 1862 to the present day
the mines have become so thin
ly populated by miners that
game has greatly increased, and now,
from every old placer district, we hear
that deer are plenty, and bears return
ing from the higher mountains to where
acorns and other food are more abund-
| ant This is good news for hunters,
but not reassufing as to the present
condition of the mining counties or the
immediate future of the State. When

in country once densely inhabited,
we may be sure there is something rad
ically wrong in the social and political
management. We hope the day of re-
form is not far distant when a more
permanent population will again retake
the domain of the deer and grizzly and
hold it forever"
The Salt Lake News says: &C The
prevailing notion in the scientific world
is that the process of petrifaction. ex-
cept in certain springs, possessing rare
and very peculiar properties, requires
an indefinite period of time for its &C
complishment. But this theory which
has had some opponents, is at length
finally exploded by circumstance
which has taken place in this office, viz:
The petrifcation of a potato in the
course of year. In the fall of last
year several pieces of potato were
thrown under the imposing stone in
the typos Office, where they have re-
manned ever since. No notice was taken
of them until lately, when it was found
that the process of petrifaction was 60
ing on, being so perfect in some of the
pieces that they had more the appear
