On Friday, NJ. Favre notified Bis
marck Of the ratification Of the treaty
Of peace, aztec which the formal Iatifi-
cations were exchanged at Versailles
The Germans then evacuated Paris, and
Prince Frederick Charles retired i'm.
mediately behind the Seine. A dis
patch from Versailles on the 9th, states
that there will be grand review there
to-day, when the Emperor will take his
leave, but the final evacuation Of the
city is delayed for few days.
It could have been wished that the
German armies, upon whom fortune had
bestowed such magnificent successes,
had foregoue this formal entry and co.
oupation Of the fallen city. Their tri.
umph had already been sufficiently
great they had secured IL. the sub
stantial results Of their victory; and
this was an unnecessary humiliation. -
But the memory Of the entry Of the
Great Napoleon into Berlin sixty-fve
years ago undoubtedly ranked in the
heart Of the old King, and he VAS de-
termined upon tbs retaliation, which
the laws Of war fully justified. HUI

ANOTHER VETO o.

sE Governor Austin, in tho midst Of bis
vetoing, manages, with success which
must be exceedingly gratifying to other
portions Of the State, to discriminate
against the frontier or that which hes
nearest to it. The land division veto,
in the interest Of the old bonds and the
localities specially benefited by them,
has already been spoken of Nov
comes the veto of tho bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for the erection Of tho per-
manent Normal School building q 81.
Cloud, which had passed the Lsgisla-.
ture by anaaunusual majority. The
Wiuona school, which had already
received nearly 100000 from the
State, gets over $4,000 more The
M.ukato; school, which had received
about $4,000, gets $500 more.
The St. Cloud school, the single State
Institution lying anywhere near that
"north half Of, the State" for. which
Governor Austin expresses 80 much
consideration, receives the mag
ni6cent endowment Of his Governor
ships veto. This discrimination was,
doubtless, Also made on the .''basis
of.votes." Winona county has 1905 Of
them g(Republican) Blue E.rtl,
county has l146; while Stearns couu-
y unfortunately has but569. SILVA.

father, mother, and sister-these alone No ''dust
to dust and ashes TO ashes was spoken A
rough but clean box contained the body-not a
glittering casket. This was a simple-beautiful
grand funeral. When the death-wnds sweep
ones bark upon the echoless shore; when a
mortal sleeps the sleep that is dreamless-the
sleep of the grave; when the spirit is gone to
Beyond why VU the weeping ones send the
'earthly tenement" into the grave with rings on
its fingers and bells on its toes? Will the good
deeds of the departed he longer remembered p
Will tears cease to flow later? The grave be
easier? No Let US make the best of empty
honors and foolish greatness; let US rule and
ruin if we can and must let US indulge in vain
pomp and glory-here on earth but when we
are put away forever let it be with decency, and
without senseless and profane show The presence

ALMOST A FIRE.-On Wednesday last, about
noon, the new house of Mr.. John E. Porter, on
the Joppa road, opposite the residence of Mrs.
Ware, would doubtless have been consumed by
fire but for its timely discovery by colored man.
There had been fire built in the middle of the
floor On some morter, for the purpose of drying
the plaster, and the men having left the building
to go to dinner did not think of any danger
A colored man employed at the building forgot
some article, and returned to the house for it,
when to his establishment he found that the fire
had communicated to the floor through which it
had already burned large hole. TWAS prompt
ly extinguished without giving general alarm.
