The house of Emile Erckmann, the
novelist, at Phalsburg, was almost en-

the fortress, it is stated, and his loss is
set down at $4,000. He is reported to

THEoPHILE GAUTIER, the renowned
literary animal fancier, had at the be-
ginning of the siege of Paris $50 cats,
and at the capitulation discovered that
his feline stock had been reduced to
nine, owing to the rowing habits which
made them prey to the hungry popu-
lation. Even of the nine, four had
their tails shot away. Gautier is sorely
troubled over his losses, as his love of
cats, he says, passes the love of women.

4" Property is RObbery''--The Old and
New French Lesson.

A letter, printed in large type, is pub
lished in the official journal of Paris, in
which the writer points out the equity
and possibility of compelling the own
ers of property in France to bear exclu-
sively the burden of meeting the Ger
man indemnity. He divides the popu-
lation into five classes, ranging from
extreme opulence to the lowest poverty,
and sets forth their possessions in due
arithmetical progression. The total va
lue Of the entire real and personal
property in France he estimates at 80
milliards. In the possession of the first
class, comprising 100000 households,
and including workmen's clothes and
tools, he reckons 10 milliards, or 400
millions sterling. The second class, of
100000 households, comprising work
men on their own account and laborers
with small possessions of land, is cred
tied with 20 milliards, or 800 millions
sterling. The third class, the smaller
shopkeepers and retail dealers, taken as
representing 100000 families, with a
total property of 40 milliards, or 1000
millions sterling. The fourth class
the wholesale dealers and upper middle
classes-are assumed to possess property
worth so milliards, or 1920 millions
sterling; while the fifth class, including
the great landowners and capitalists,
and comprising 100000 families, is rep
resented as possessing property of the
aggregate value of l60 milliards, or
6,400 millions sterling. The writer
concludes from this statement that the
proper course to pursue is " to impose a
tax of 3 or per cent. upon the for
tunes of the aforementioned. class, which
is comprised in great part of the organ
izers or the favorites of the Imperial
banditti, and by that means the amount
required to satisfy German rapacity viii
be easily raised. shIo5

There is story told of a young man
who got into trouble through his per-
sistent folly in reading the newspapers
1t seems that he saw an account of how
lovers in Seville, when they are for.
bidden to visit their hearts delight,
stand under the young ladies' windows
at night, and converse with them
through hollow tin tube made in sec
tions, so that it can be shut together
like a spy-glass and used as cane.
This youth loved damsel whose father
regarded his loves young dreams as an
inferior kind Of nightmare which had
to be shaken off at all hazards. So he
refused to permit the dreamer to come
to his house, Well, this infatuated one
went right down to- timer and pro-
cured about forty feet of tin tubing,
which closed up into the smallest posi-
bic space. Then he used to go round
in the evening, unreef his speaking
trumpet, and run it up to the second
story back window, where his angel
was, and roost out on the fence, whis-
pering all kinds of sweet things along
through that forty feet of pipe. This
was all, very nice as far as, it went. But
one evening the eagle-eyed old man
came to the room door with pitcher
full of hot water in his hand and asent
his daughter Off suddenly ON an errand.
Then the despicable old, man called
down the pipe in falsetto voice until
the youth had placed his ear against
it, and them There was only
about a quart of hot water, but it was
sufficient to make one side of the Young
lovers face resemble an underdone ten
derloin steak When his friends ask
him what is the matter, he says he has
been down in the country and has been
sunburned; but he is convinced that
Spanish customs them as whole
are abominablel ~i.s"' ta..

Life. -..
BY ELLA WHEELER.
An infant wailing in nameless fear; DO. G@&.
A shadow, perchance, in the quiet room,
Or the hum of an insect flying near,
Or the screech- owls cry, in the outer gloom.
A little child ON the sun checked floor,
A broken toy, and tear stained face,
young life clouded, a young heart sore:
2 And the great clock, time, ticks on apace
maiden weeping in bitter pain, tr
q Two white hands clasped on an aching brow.
A blighted faith and fond hope slain,
A shattered trust and broken VOW.
A matron holding baby's shoe, esa.-.
The hot tears gather, and fall at will 49,
On the knotted ribbon of white and blue. s5
For the foot that wore it is cold and still.
An aged woman upon her bed.
Worn, and wearied, and poor and old,
Longing to rest with the happy dead,
And thus the story of life is told.
Where is the season of careless glee?
Where is the moment that holds no pain?
Life has its crosses from infancy
Down to the grave; and its hopes are vain.

IMPORTANT DECIsIcN ON THE CoNFIsCA-
rIoN AcT.-The Supreme Court of the
United States have recently decided
that the confscation act, passed by Con-
gress during the rebellion, is strictly
constitutional. The suit was Tyler
against Defrees. The latter, during the
war, bought a house and lot in Wash
ington, formerly belonging to Tyler, at
a sale under the confscation act. After
the close of the war, Tyler brought
suit for the recovery of the property
and the case has just been decided
against him. The decision will settle a
large number of similar cases in the
border States.
