-Durirg the past two months Paris has ex'
hibited an unusually clean health bill, and this
notwithstanding 1t has so recently undergone
the horrors of fsieger famine and massacre,
during which bodies necessarily lay nnburied,
the streets were LEFT uncleaned Of decaying
animal matter, and one would think full op'
.portunity was given for the production OF dis.
ease. Meantime Berlin, entirely exempt from
llthese evils, has been visited by epidemics
OF smallpox and diarrhoea. The people Of the
German city ate aud drank as we'll as ever
they did, while the Parisians were devouring
horses, ransackirg the Jardin des Plantes for
monkeys, and eating ragouts Of kangaroo
meat. 81 .s.:.
-Telegraphic messages are becoming very
popular in Great Britain as means of rapid
communication between private individuals.
From statements made In Parliament, short
time ago, it appears that the system of twenty
fiye cent messages, adopted when the British
Government took possession of the telegraph
lines, is working satisfactorily, the offices be-
ing overwhelmed with messages, and nom
$4,000 to SIS. 900 a week being earned over
the corresponding week Of last year. 1t Is
under consideration whether a system OF
twelve cent kilograms could not be adopted,
and its believed that the plan will be put in
operation as soon as the lines are sufficiently
extended to accommodate the anticipated in
crease of messages.

surviving widow or heirs present, or repre-
sented in.tbe State of louisiana and that no
