Foreign Notes.

A FRENCH woman, calling herself
Madame Brigham Young, has been
arrested in Paris for indulging in what
she called the "Utah Cancan "a per-
formance compared to which the Paris
article is but humdrum affair.
In future, no white horses are to be
employed in the French army, they
were found to be such excellent guides
to the Prussians there to direct their
fire.
IT has been ascertained that the EN-
peror Napoleon III. is very fond of
drinking Johannisberger wine, and that
Prince Richard Metternich, who owns
Castle Johannisberg, in order to ingra-
tiate himself with Napoleon, allowed
him to purchase, since the year 1860,
nearly all the good wine raised in that
famous locality. The outsiders, who
paid since that time enormous prices for
what they believed to be excellent Jo-
hannisberger may, therefore, take it for
granted that the agents of the Prince
took advantage of them. @"f
DIR. Balmanno, a London surgeon, has
successfully applied the magic lantern
to the study of diseases of the skin. A
transparent photograph of the skin is
taken, and then placed in a magic lam
tern. A strong hydro-oxygen light casts
the picture enlarged on white sheet,
and in this way the smallest details are
brought out with astonishing minute
ness.
M. GoDARD, the aeronaut, has just
made an ascent at Toulouse in his new
gigantic balloon, the "Union des Peu-
pies" Ten persons were with him in
the car.
IT is said that ladies who visit the
man-milliner, Worth, at his elegant
house in Paris, for the purpose of buy
ing dress or costume, are very much
surprised at his manner of judging what
would be most appropriate and becom-
ing to them. He sits down at distance,
and makes the lady parade herself up
and down before him, closes his eyes
halfway, puts his head on one side, and
appears to be in deep thought, AMI then
he seats himself at table and throws
off hurried sketches, from which the
garments are m modeled. a#
RUSSIA is the paradise of woman's-
rights advocates. Man and wife always
own their property separately, and in
stances of wives suing their husbands
for debt are of frequent occurrence.
Still, Russia has no paper advocating
woman's rights.
THE King of Denmark, who was twice
shot at, came near losing his life recent
ly at Darmstadt, in consequence of the
careless manner in which he handled
loaded revolver. He escaped with the
loss of three fingers of his right hand.

Braddock,s Fate-Interesting Letter.

A correspondent, after giving an ac-
count of the planting, on the 29th ult.,
by Mr.. Murdoch and Mr.. King, of sun
dry selected trees at the grave of Gen.
Braddock, in Fayette county, Penn,
adds the following historical sketch of
events and incidents connected with
Braddock's expedition and death, and
the customs of that period:
In connection with Braddock's grave,
we cannot resist the temptation to give
some historical incidents derived from
the Hon. Andrew Stewart. About the
year 1902 Mr.. Stewards father lived
about two miles east of Braddock's
grave, on what was called Braddock's
Old Road"-the old military road
Being Supervisor of roads he went with
some hands to repair the road, taking
with him Mr.. Stewart-then boy some
ten or twelve years of age. While the
men were at work on the east bank of
Braddock's Run, Thomas Faucette (born
in 17l2 and died in 1916, aged 104
years, and who was with Braddock at
the time of his defeat and death), an
old mountain hunter, then living on the
road less than mile east of Braddock's
grave, in a cabin, came along with his
rife on his shoulder, a hunting-knife in
his belt, dressed in blue hunting-shirt,
bear-skin cap and buck-skin pants,
standing straight as an arrow. about six
feet four in his moccasins. Faucette
said: "Take care men, or you will dig
up Braddock's bones. We buried him
here where he died, right on the bank

grave, so that the enemy could not lind
it. will show you the spot. The water
has washed down nearly to the bones.
Dig down there foot or two and :-you
will find them" The men did so and
found the bones.
F" Braddock," said Faucette to the
workmen, "was q brave man, but to
save his men shot him." "Why SOP"
was asked. "I will tell you. Ny
brother Joe and were fighting behind
trees. when Braddock came riding
along and struck Joe, saying, You COW
ard, stand up and fight like a man.
Considering him our worst enemy, l
turned round and shot him instead of
an Indian. When Washington took
command he told us to tree. We did
so, and the remnant of us were
saved"
In confirmation of Faucette's story,
history says that it was thought at the
time that Braddock was shot by one of
his own men, and it was upon this occa-
sion that Braddock, when Washington
advised him to let the men tree, said +;

Cure for SOmnambuIism.

The Vallejo (Cal.) Recorder has the
following: " A certain husband living
in our neighborhood has habit of
walking in his sleep, and his wife got
SO tired of having him frisk around the
house during the silent watches of the
night that at last she determined to tie
him fast after he got to sleep. She fast
ened a,string to his ankle and tied the
other end to what happened to be the
most handy, which was her husbands
double e-barreled gun, behind the door
in the corner of the room. About one
o'clock the somnambulist arose for the
purpose of taking ramble around the
room. When he had taken about SIX
steps, the artillery came out of its seclu,
sion in the corner, with a jerk, the load
crashing through the panels of the
door. It soon brought both parties to
consciousness, and they begged for
Gods sake we would not mention their
names. Yesterday he was busy putting
new panel in the door, which is far
better than digging load OF buckshot
out of the baby.

An Alexis Anecdote.

A very pleasant incident in connec-
ton with the visit of the Grand Duke
of Russia to the Massachusetts, Histori-
cal Society rooms is reported by the
Boston Traveller. just as the party
were leaving, Admiral Poisset took
from his pocket small envelope ana
handed it to Mr.. Winthrop, saying that
perhaps the contents would be OF sum
cient interest to entitle them to place
in the society's cabinet. On opening
the envelope, three oak leaves and a
little twig were found. There were ac-
companied by statement i'll Russian
that the leaves and twig were taken
from an oak tree in St. Petersburg,
which grew from an acorn planted by
the Emperor of Russia himself, received
from Mr.. George Sumner, of this city,
which he took from tree which shades

A Money Order Case.

The Bolivar (Mo.) Free Press says A
legal case, somewhat novel in its char
acter, has occurred here. Postmaster
Bushnell had received notification to
pay the sum of $3.50 to citizen resid-
ing in the county On the presentation
by him of money orders to that amount.
An attorney of an inquiring turn of
mind happened to see the money order
registry lying open on the Postmasters
desk, and furthermore happened to OBJ
serve that the individual in whose favor
the money order was drawn was in
debted to a client of his, and imme-
diately bethought himself how he
might turn the information to account.
Accordingly, next morning he had a
notice of garnishment served on the
Postmaster, enjoining him from paying
the aforesaid $3.50 to the person for
whom it was intended. The Deputy
Sheriff had scarcely finished reading
the notice to the Postmaster, when the
person to whose order the money had
been sent, appeared on the scene, and
presenting his order, asked for the
money. The Postmaster was obliged to
confess that it was out of his power to
comply, and recited the circumstances
under which it was held. The disap-
pointed payee sought legal advice on
the subject. Attorney number two,
after hearing the case, ransacked the
Post Office Departments regulations
touching money orders, and thought he
discovered sufficient grounds for de-
manding that the money be paid to his
client. The Postmaster, however,
thought best to await instructions from
Washington on the subject before fork
ing over. AS the matter now stands,
the money is tied up in the hands of
the Postmaster, until the next meeting
of the Circuit Court in April, unless the
Post Office Department dissolves the in
junction sooner.

Sue Sanders.

cue Sanders was a country lass,
with eyes as brown as buns,
AND cheeks that held the peachy bloom
VI eighteen summer suns.
She never owned silken dress,
Nor dreamed of Mechlin lace,
I ct wore her tidy home-spun gown
with suchbewitehing grace,
That sc2srce the merchants gayest goods
Md made her seem more fair .s..
Nc princess with q sweeter grace
royal robe could wear.
One day there came q city man,
With wealth and honors rife
And asked sweet Susy Sanders soon
If she would be his wife.
Now Sue a country laddie loved,
With scarce a dime to show,
But Susy loved him none the less.
And 80 she answered NO..
The rich man bit his bearded lip
And bent his naughty head:
But, hoping by his wealth to win.
He waited still and said:
Your country lad is rude and rough.
With brawny, sun Drowned hands,
And offers with his clownish name
Nor gold nor goodly lands;
While wealth and gems. stately house,
And name of ancient pride,
Are mine to offer to the one
ask to be my BRIDE.
Then redly flushed her rounded cheek,
And like 3 queen she said:
ITO plow and SOW and reap the field,
And earn ones daily bread,
g I think is nobler than to sit
Content life's cares to shirk,
And ne'er jeweled finger life
To any worthy work.
"To me- nv WiIIy's toil-worn hands
Bronzed by the summer SUM-,
Are dearer far than if they had
No flush of labor won.
And pray, good sir. have you not learned
Love is not bought or sold?
Whene'er lived. Til wed a MAN,
And not his lands or gold"
With sullen brow the suitor grand
Rode fercely back to town.
And one May morn Sue welded VIII,
Clad in her homespun gown.

Abrasion of Coins.

A statement having been made that
a single bank in London had lost $35, 900
in one year by the abrasion of the gold
coins, a practical philosopher visited
the Bank of England in order TO exam
inc into the matter. This gentleman
reports that the whole breadth of a
counter, upon which the sun happened
to be shining, displayed myriads of par
ticles of gold, which had evidently been
struck off, mainly, by the sharp edges
of the steel shovels used to remove por-
tions of the heap of sovereigns. 1t is
also asserted that the milled edges of
the sovereigns must assist in the natu-
raj raspings of the coin.

GREELEY,S ISLANDER.

Mr. Greeley is perambulating the west
ern country making speeches about 'rec-
onciliation." His speech at Pittsburg was
all in depreciation of the great soldiers
and sailors convention held in that place
q few days before. He assumed that il
was warlike convention, threatening the
South, and intended to keep alive the EN-
bers of the rebellion.
We know no man in the country who is
doing more than Mr.. Greeley himself to
create and keep up hatred between the
North and the South. His speeches i'm
ply if they do not assert that the northern
people are hostile to the South. If the
southern people place any confidence in
what he says they must come to the con-
clusion that we are their enemies, that the
fires of hatred burn with fierceness to-
ward them, and that we are bound to put
and keep them under our feet.
All this is as false as false can be.
Throughout the whole North we venture
to say there are none but friendly feelings
toward the people of the South, as the
action Of Congress in regard to amnesty
and removal Of political disabilities in the
South amply show. The hand of recon-
ciliation is and always has been extended.
from the time General Cant SO magnanim-
ously allowed the army of Lee to go home
after the surrender. All that we ask is
justice and equal rights for the colored
people and white union men of the South.
Mr.. Greeley misrepresents and ISLANDERS
the North in his role as an apostle of
reconciliation. Even the soldiers con-
vention at Pittsburg which he took as his
text to repeat in amplified form his false
charges, passed the following resolution.
"We cherish no spirit of revenge towards
our fellow citizens of the South. The magma
nimity of our late Commander in Chief on the
field Of Appomatox was sufficient pledge of
the Union army that the bloody Chasm of war
was closed, and "with malice towards none,
but with charity to all, we extend the right
hand Of fellowship to all who accept in good
faith the results of the war, and who would
extend to every American citizen, of what
ever race or color, the rights which are SOL
emily guaranteed by the Constitution of the
United States and laws made in pursuance
thereof"
Who would believe after reading the
above resolve that Mr. Greeley would
denounce the convention which adopted it
as being actuated with the single pur-
''pose of rekindling the bitterness and
"hatred, the animosities and antipathies,

Theodore Tilton's paper says the Tri-
bune is failure in this campaign, and
calls for the establishment of a paper that
will fight with more vigor and ability.
This is really unkind. The prospect OF
dying after election is bad enough for the
Tribune, but to be kicked in this way be-
fore the campaign is over by the Greeley
ties is positively cruel.
