A FRIGHGFUL. PIcTURE.-One of the
best informed of all the German cores
pondents writes in a letter from Yer
sailles: " Pauperism, Notwithstanding
the immense resources of France, will
reign throughout one half of the land
and devour the other after the conclu-
sion of. peace. Armed bands traverse
France already, pillaging country houses
and chateaux, and numbering their own
countrymen with weapons placed in
their hands as Francs ireurs. Hun
dreds of thousands have suffered for
months past. They bear want and dis
tress at present as sacrifices which the
misfortunes of their country have
placed on their shoulders ; but with the
discontinuance of the war their resigna-
ton will cease. Hundreds of thousands
OF officials are starving, along with their
families, because too old to bear arms.
The citizen in the occupied towns has
had no work to do for some time, and
has no means of procuring the neces-
sary material. Whole parties have
emigrated, and probably only one half
will return to the ruins of their former
homeSnt

CLIPPING HoRsEs.-The New Yerl1
Journal Of Commerce has a long and
earnest article in defense of the clip
ping of horses during the winter sea-
son, and argues that the shortening of
the long winter coat upon horses that
are warmly housed, when not at work,
and are otherwise not exposed except
when at service, promotes the comfort
of the animals and is a positive act of
kindness. In answer to the charge. that
the clipping is done regardless of the
| comfort of the horse and simply to i'm
prove his looks, the writer says this is
great mistake, since few horses look
as well after clipping as before, the dark
winter color being changed by it to a
| lighter hue, and being sometimes total
ly lost. A bright bay horse under this
process, it is stated, turns to some
what unsightly brown or mouse color.
In conclusion the article says that clip
ping is not an act of cruelty to the horse
for mans comfort, convenience or the
qualification of his pride, but is an act
of kindness, enabling the horse to per-
form a given amount of work with
much greater ease, and saving him no
small part of the severe burden of his
winters labor.

A friend at Montpelier under the

FRIEND MCMAsTER Barton, one of
the Waterbury Bank robbers, escaped
from Jail in this place last evening.
Squire, the detective, called at the jail
about haIf-past eight o'clock, to "bid
the boys good night before leaving on
the night train. He was admitted to
the inside of the jail. and before he was
fairly in, Barton knocked him down, got
out into the Office, passed through a
small window into bedroom. into the
kitchen and through another window
into the back yard, and then into the
street. is strongly suspected, and |
think with good reasons, that it was a
put up job on the part Of Squires, as he
had been very clearly identified with the
wife Of Davis and Barton, who have
been in the place watching the move

WHY ENGLAND RELINQUIsHED ORR
aoN.-Every disciple of Izak Walton
knows that salmon will not take the
hook in their spawning Journeys, but
it il not generally known that the i'll
habitantS of British Columbia attribute
to this fact the loss to England of Ore
gon and Washington Territory. In
| the recent speech delivered by DIR.
| Helmeken In the Colonial Assembly at
Victoria, OIL the San Juan boundary
question, he gave the following eN-
| PLANTATION OF the cause which led to
| the ceSSion Of that country to the
United States: I'm 1915, when nego-
tiations were pending between Great
Britain and the United States with re-
spect to the boundary line, Great
Britain claimed the country known rs
Oregon and Washington Territory.
The British Ships-Of-war were sent out
TO examine the country and report to
the British Ministry upon its value.
The Earl Of Aberdeen was Premier ut
the time the commander Of one OF
the vessels was the Earl's brother,
and he and Others went ashore ut the
Columbia River and tried to catch
salmon with flies. The salmon would
not take the flies. and the officers
caught no fish. When they returned
to their ship the Earl's brother wrote
home: The country Il not worth n
farthiug,' And the British Ministry
reliuqnished all claims to it,
