however, his speech in the Assembly on
the tubject Of the Cross of the Legion
OF Honor, which he designated a bauble of
vanity, b-uu hit him into disfavor, aud he was
forced TO relinquish his command to General
Ctangarnier. He remained 10 the Constituent
Assembly, voting with the moderate democrats,
until le election of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte
as p, ,sident, when he Joined the opposition
ranks. A candidate for reelection, he was
driven into private life by defeat, but continued
to oppose Napoleon actively, especially after
the re-estab'ishment of the Empire. He took
no part in the struggle with Prussia
until November last When he was appointed by
the Government of Defense commander-in-chief
of the National Guard, position which he held
until February Is following, when he was sue
ceeded, on resigning, by General Vinoy. During
the period of his command, however, he does
not appear to have been very active. On Satur-
day morning he was captured by the Com
munist insurgents in the capital, and in the
evening put 10 death after a short and summary
trial. He has become the first important vic
tim of the infamous conspiracy against law and
order which has Paris fairly in its grip, but his
innocent blood will assuredly be fully avenged.

General Clement thomas.

General Clement Thomas, whose life was
sacrificed by the red-handed insurgents In Paris
on Saturday, had taken prominent part in the
tumultuou history of France. He was born at
Libourne in the year 1912, and after receiving
q good education in Paris, entered the military
service as a volunteer, attaining to the rank of
quartermaster in the 9th Culrassiers. For TAX
ing part in the Luneville conspiracy of 1885 he
was tried during the month of April of the same

GENERAL CHARLES M. PREVOST.

GENERAL CHARLES M. PREVOST.
A SPECIAL despatch from Washington fore
shadows the appointment of General Charles
NJ Provost as Collector of the port of Phila-
delphia to succeed Hon. Henry d. Moore.
The appointment of General Provost will be
an attempt on the part of the President to
unite the contending factions of the Repubi-
can party, and it should do SO. Whether the
politicians are satisfied or not, however, the
public at large are likely to be, as the prospec-
tive Collector has many qualifications for the
position, and he will undoubtedly administer
the affairs of the Custom House in satisfac-
tory manner He stands very high in this
community as a business man and a gentle
man, and he has had several years expert
ence as a Deputy Collector, which has ini-
tiated him thoroughly into all the details of
Custom House business. The President could
scarcely make better appointment or one
that will give more general satisfaction.
General Provost, besides being an estimable
private citizen and a well-trained business
man, has a first-rate war record. He entered
the service as colonel of the 118th Pennsyl-
vania Regiment, which was recruited by the
Corn Exchange to the full standard in one
month, and was mustered into service on
August 3, 1862. At the battle of Antietam he
was in the reserve, but on September 20,
1862, while proceeding to Sheppardstown,
West Virginia, his regiment was subjected to
q CALLING fire, and Colonel Provost, while car
rying the colors to the front to check mo-
mentary wayering of his men, was severely
wounded and was carried from the field, In
this engagement 2S2 men out of 500 were
killed, wounded, or missing. On March IS,
1865, Colonel Provost wS breveted brigadier-
general for his gallantry in this engagement.

Revengeful PunishmentS.

We once knew of Q little child who had stolen couple of figs off the dessert dish on the day of dinner party. The theft was discovered, and her father made her wear the figs on Q string round her neck the whole evening, with full explanations why. We heard the story when the child had grown up to be a woman, and from her own lips; and she said that to this hour she suffered from the shame of that evening; it was burnt into her, and made a wound ineffaceable for life. It was tremendous punishment for the fault;
 he fsult itself being in so young child as she was-fve years old only-one that might have been punished and reformed by milder measures. It seems to have been mistake, judging from the bitter ness with which the fathers character was spoken of-she said she had ceased to love him from that day--aud from the stern and loveless nature of the woman herself it seemed to have cast out all softness from her. And though, to be sure, she stole no more figs, yet she had learned her lesson of keeping her fingers from wandering into the region of for hiddeu dainties at too severe cost. The policy of humiliation is @ dangerous one at all times and on all occasions, and far more souls have been crushed by this than sins have been confirmed by over leniency. To destroy all self-respect is to destroy all healing power, and to pre- vent all possibility of rebound. In dealing with the faulty, however hard we may be on the sin, we ought always to reserve a way of restoration to the sipnor

Artificial Rain.

In England, where ancestral pride in land is aided by fixed and princely in- comes, experimental agriculture is car ried on as an enlightened and congenial employment of capital and occupation of leisure. Draining has been pushed to such perfection there as to demon strate that it may be overdone ; and now surface irrigation is receiving the atten- tion of landholders. At Stoke Park the system of irrigation with pure water has been tried with marked success. The surface experimented on is a tract of twenty acres, in grass, and the water has been applied in artificial showers, in the night, every night during the season of 1871, except when natural rains made artificial rains unnecessary The apparatus consists of pipes laid in the ground supplied from an elevated reservoir or reservoirs, into which the water is pumped by machinery.
 The figures, in the English experi- ment are as follows, per acre Interest (5 per cent.) on cost of machinery and pipes, $750: superstructure and fuel $750: manure and other top-dressing, $67.5 cost of-harvesting, $12.50 total expenses, 1895. The value of the pro- ducts of each acre, being one crop of grass and grazing in the autumn of 1870, and two crops of hay in 1871, is stated at $200 the net profit is thus $105 per acre. On ground in the same tract and of the same character. treated in the same manner, except the irrigation, the net profit per acre was $45. The inter- est on the apparatus for twenty acres represents 8 capital of &, 900. Probably the same work could not be done for the same money in this country. But the same engine power could be used for much larger area than twenty acres.-Erch0nge.

Mans Duty.

Gail Hamilton in one of her recent letters discusses the question of mans duty towards woman. Here is & speci- men of her mode of treating the matter "Looking at it without regard to spir- itual compensation, God is the most prr- tial of beings. He made one sex strong and the other weak and upon the weak he placed heavy burden, where upon the strong he placed none at all. Worse far than this, he made the burden of the weaker sex inseparable while the only burden of the stronger sex was so loosely and lightly laid that it could al- ways be shifted to the shoulders of the weaker, and it always has, to a greater or less degree, been thus shifted, so that the weaker has borne the load of the stronger in addition to it's own. With all this, he left to no one's choice whether to be male or female, or wheth- CT to be at all but of his own will he begat us. To man he gave not only strength but joy; to woman not only weakness but suffering. Man incurs suffering only through disease, the re- suit of folly or ignorance. Toman's 8 highest health and happiness comes through the valley of the shadow of death. The hardest law that ever man framed for woman is tender and benevo- lent compared with the irreversible nat ural law under which she lives, and moves, and has her being.

Oil.WeIls.

Oil wells, although not on such an abundant scale as those in the United States, are not such novel features of nature, after all. Strabo refers to one in Northern Asia in these words: '' It is said that in digging near the river Ochus, Q spring of oil was discovered. It is probable that, as certain nitrous, astringent and sulphurous fluids perme- ate the earth, greasy fluids may also be found but the rarity of their occurrence makes their existence almost doubtful. Coming down to later times, in Malt lands History of Edinburgh, we are told that, about 0 mile to the eastward of the Pentland Hills, there is small village called St. Oatheune's, where there Is spring called the Oily We'll, from an unctuous substance wherewith it is cov- cred. Martiland wrote more than cen- tury ago, but the we'll of which he speaks still exists, and is running still, the same unctuous matter covering it's surface as of old. Another oil-well is that of St. Margaret's, at Restairig, near Edinburgh. Early in the morning before the waters had been disturbed, 8 dark, rich scum of petroleum is to be found. There is Q romance in the commonest things. Why not, therefore, in "ile ?" A curious ac- count is given by modern traveller of a certain oil-wen on the Continent, which may not be altogether uninterestine. Near the village of Egern, in the Bava- rian Tyro., on the west side of the lake called Tegernsec, and and little remov- ed from it, there issues source of oil sacred to St. Quirintus, and held to be his blood. A little chapel, always locked, incloses it. On entering, it is 8 filthy pool, seventeen feet deep, in basin of masonry. The bulk of the liquid is water, covered with thick, dirty scum of oil, blotched with large, lazy bubbles of a nasty brown color, slowly bursting, and formed by a gas. which rises with the oil. The smell is resinous and pitchy. The color of the oil varies peculiarly in the pool, or in an opaque vessel, 1t is brownish ; seen through glass, it re- sembles the green on the belly of hare which has been shot for some days :; but when being poured out of vessel, the stream resembles the brilliant ruby of claret. Religious fervor has thus formed a poetical connection between this quail
 ty of changing color and the livid green of martyrs corpse-the ruby represent ing the living blood of the saint risen again, more perennial even than the blood of St. Januarius. The spring emits forty-6ve quarts year, costing five shil- lings a quart-a perquisite of the Cure. It blazes like oil when thrown on the fire. "--Once O Week.
