The French Republic.

A CORRESPONDENT of the N. Y. Her.
aid has been interviewing Prince Nape-
leon, who Is living in retirement on the
banks of Lake Leman, in Switzerland. In
reply to the question whether the French
Republic may be looked upon as firmly
established, the Prince replied:
81 see nothing to lead me to think so.
1 zee how Republic is possible In your
country, and how 1t Is becoming a great
power. I see, also, how-sheltered under
their mountains and Its political integrity
necessary to the powers of Europe-a Re-
public can exist here in Switzerland.
There are conditions of society, customs.
traditions, and so on, in Switzerland and
the United States, which do not exist in
France Their absence makes me doubt
q tu the possibility Of Republic. But
this IL my opinion, which give with the
utmost reserve, as the subject Is one upon
which any man may make an opinion ut
terly valueless. 1 do not believe in this
Republic. 1t may come, but only in one
way-by free, generous, universal discus
sion. When 1t comes, 1 and all my house,
and all who believe In the name of Ma,
poaeon, viii accept and defend it, for, as 1
have said, the first principle of our house

mere form Of government! France is
France, and she will make any govern
ment serve her glory. Buff Republic
were more sure than even the Republicans
expect, the course CT M. Theirs in this
personal incident would go far towards
destroying it. How can there be any re-
spect for government, or any respect for
m authority which claims to be Repub-
lie, and at the same time. makes the most
arbitrary exerci e OF power? One circum-
stance like that. making a scandal
throughout the world, and showing a
tmIdity and want of sagacity on the part
Of the President, will do the Republic
more harm than any event you can inn
ag1ne. 1t shows weakness, and weakness
no one respects. 1t shows want of sym
pathy with the essence of republican doe
trines. This Republic has been bitten by
an early and untimely FROST"

The Apache Reservation.

THE reservation set aside by Ger. Howard
for the nomadic Apaches under COchise
is the extreme southeast corner OF AriZo-
ma, embracing about sixty miles square.
Apache Pass is included, and the Texas
Pacific Railroad will run through one cor
ner of it. There is only one white settler
on the section and he is the station keeper
at Sulphur Spring. The only other white
settlement ON the proposed reservation is
the gold mine in Apache Pass, which has
been abandoned for over a year. When
General Howard first opened negotiations
with Cochise the chief insisted that ali
troops be prevented from operating agains.
him, and to this end General Howard
proceeded to Apache Pass, sixty miles
distant, leaving Captain Sladen, of his
staff, as hostage against attack upon Co.
chise camps. The Indians were willing
and even anxious to go upon q reserva
ton, and promised to do everything in
their power to deserve the good will OF
thegOvernment, but did not wish to leave
their present locality. COchise regard
ed the proposed transit of the railroad
through the reservation set apart for him
with pleasure, saying he would guard it,
as it would bring him int communication
with friends he has at the North. He new
err denied any depredations or murders
committed by his band, but justified them
on the ground that there was at that time
war between his people and the whites.
For nearly an hour COchise and his PEG
pie urged that General Howard should
return and give them an account of what
the Great Father decided concerning the
reservation proposed to be set apart TO,
them by General Howard and upon TIN
latter telling them it was uncertain whetii.

sion, as they wanted some. white MAJ

General Howard had an interview witt

Taking the price of corn as the basis of
calculation, you divide the price of a
bushel of corn by $40, the number of
pounds Of pork produced by a bushel of
corn, as we have seen, and the quotient
will be the answer. If, for example, corn
is 20 cents, divide it by $40, and you will
have S.33 cents. And so to find what the
price of corn should be when pork is sell
ing at a certain price per pound, you null
tiply the price of of pound pork by s 40,
and the product will be the answer. Sup
pose pork is selling at 10 cents pound.
what should be the price of corn used to
feed out in its production? You multiply
the 10 cents by $40, the average number
OF pounds of pork made by bushel of
corn. and yen have 81 cents as the cor
responding price.
Now these figures, as we have already
shown, may not be absolutely correct.
but they may furnish some guide for cal
culatiOn.

The Horse Epidemic.

What the origin of this terrible complaint
that is suddenly affecting horses at this
present time and producing such panic in
the country is. it is hard to determine. Like
the Asiatic Cholera it seems to be a species
of plague. That Il successful remedy can be
used for it has been demonstrated, and we
give it. On the first symptoms of disease
drench the horse with an entire bottle full
of Maguire's CundurangO Bitters, and if it
do not operate in twelve hours. repeat.
When d discharge commences flowing from
the nose, dissolve half an ounce of common
table salt in one pint of water and sponge
out the nostrils well; repeat occasionally.
Mix one part of Maguire's Horse Lotion
with three parts of water and inject with a
syringe back of the tongue if there is any
liberation. Also, mix equal parts of spirits
of hartshorn and sweet oil together and rub
the throat well with it. Keep the horse
warm and give him gentle exercise in the
open air, if dry. No person need lose a
horse from this malady If this course is fol
| lowed. After the horse has partially recov-
| cred. dissolve a little cOpperas in some water
and mix in the horses food to prevent dropsy

CABLE SCREW WIRE BOOTS AND SHOES.
A word of explanation may not be out of
place. The cable wire acts as a screw, is
strong and firm. and at the same time is elias
tic and comfortable. 1t is much preferable
to the old method of pegging, and quite as
soft and elastic as sewed work, but much
stronger and less liable to rip, and much less
expensive. We have tried the cable screw
shoe. which has proved all that is claimed
for it. The increase in this new method OF
manufacturing boots and shoes isvery rapid.

Horrible Consequences Of n Possible
Change I'm the workings OF EatHre


AsinRular oommotion has been noticed
in the squirrel fraternity Ia this State
! and Arkansas this fall. The heated
summer, which is now happily passing
away, seems to have endowed the gray
squirrel with an Unusual power Of
fecundity. They have been noticed this
year to have brought forth two families
| of young, each litter consisting Of ten OF
eleven. Whether It is owing TO the in
creased number In the woods, or the
want Of nutTiment in the nuts after the
unusually long and dry SUMMED that
the commotiOn is owing, has not been
determined by any Of our naturalists.
The simple fact is all, therefore, that
we are left to record. SpOrtsmen may
be seen coming into the city of Mem
phis every evening from the Arkansas
shore, loaded down with slaughtered
rodents, which are counted by the
dozen. At other seasons it usually re-
quired a days long hunting to capture
three or four. Those spOrtsmen and the
planters in Arkansas say that the woods
in Crittenden county are full Of the little

given to exaggeratiOn-say that they
have been migrating west by the mil
lion. A gentleman on the border Of the
lake, who had collected an immense
quantity of bark on the bank, woke up
morning and found the whole of it
gone. A colony Of squirrels had sailed
across on the pieces during the early
morning. 1t is singular that the line of
march Of the gray squirrel this year is
westward. In all former ages his course
was toward the east. Is there any
naturalist in the country that will ex-
plain this? 1t IS an age Of progress and
development, it is said. Now let US
have a few facts tending to throw light
on this unanimous exodus Of the squir-
rel. This general packing up of bag and
baggage and household furniture and
