That the conditions of the last convention
of liberation concluded between France and
Germany are hard and painful there can be
no dispute. But, as explained by Paris cor
respondent of TIE TRIBUNE, whose letter Is
published to-day, the new treaty is a consid-
erable gain to France over all preceding
agreements Naturally enough, right after the
consummation of the treaty comes row in
the Assembly over the ways and means by
which France is to raise the money to meet
expenses.

In the general distress which has overcome tho
Grant renominationists since Baltimore, one Of tho
keenest pangs seems to spring from their cad ccn-
temptation of the character Of some Cf the mel

that surround Greeley they moan at each accession.
and dOlefully dwell on the fTailties of some con
spcuous public sinner to whom they generously
assign the honor of an intimate friendship with the
Cincinnati nominee. Now, it is true that several
people, who would not do for SundayscbOol teacher,
have lately pronounced for Cincinnati That, as tic
renomnatonists too plainly perceive, j. one Of tho
concomitants Of success. These peopl. aro keen 20
perceive the winning side. Their CON any has not
always been sought, and is not always esTabe, but
they have an nfalibe nose for sinking ship, ard
they always get out of it in time. They have sailed
with Grant, but they know when TO quit and they
are quitting. We do not invariably plume ourselves
on the accession, but the winning side is always
compelled to have them, and they are coming TO us
as fast as they can. Tho odest thing about it AL

Saturday, week ago, was, by combina-
tOn of fortunate circumstances, observed
throughout Illinois as demonstration day Ivy
the Liberals. A correspondent of THE IRIB-
UNE estimates that in nearly every county III
the State some popular meeting was held by
them, and at some points, as at Decatur, where
Senator Trumbull made notable speech, there
were great gatherings of the people. There
may be some few persons who think the Re-
form campaign is not sweeping Illinois; but
these will be fewer as the days wear on.

The original idea of the city prissn which
we call The Tombs was sufficiently terrible
Modelled on the design of an Egyptian mauso-
leum, the building was made as gloomy,
tOmb-like, and horror-inspiring as ingenuity
could possibly contrve. 1t was built on
marshy ground; and now that it has been
gradually surrounded by lofty structures
which shut out the sun and air, more dread
place for confinement cannot be imagined
The description which we elsewhere give OF
the pile and its distinguishing features VIII
call attention to this enormous mass OF
wretchedness, and, we hope, viii lead TO the
adoption of some remedy therefor.

The Grant newspapers continue to be a good deal
worried about the 100000 said to have been drawn
from the United States Treasury by the Marshal OF
North Carolina The best they can say is that the
100000 covers the expenses of whole year. and
that the said Marshal only draws $4,000 at time!
Moreover We told that justice is very expensive
down in those regions, and that the Marshal and his
Judge have convicted sixty Ku-Kluxers. Thus We
arrive at the startling fact that it costs in North
Carolina at least in Judge Bonds District not less
than S3 1888 33 to convict one lonesome Ku-kluxerl
Is not justice rather expensive down that way

Done ENOUGH FOR HIS CoUNTRY.-
A revolutionary soldier was running for
Congress, and his opponent was a young
man who had "never been TO the war;"
and it was the custom of the old soldier
to tell of the hardships he had endured.
Said he:
Fellow-citizen, have fought and
bled for my country. l have helped to
whip the British and the Indians. | have
slept on the field of battle with no other
covering than the canopy of heaven.
have walked over the frozen ground till
every footstep was marked with blood"
Just about this time one of the "sover-
eigns," who had become greatly inter-
ested in his tale of sufferings, walked up
in front Of the speaker, wiped the tears
from his eyes with the extremity of his
coat tail, and interrupted him with:
"Did you say you had fout the British
and Injuns ?"
Yes, SIR"
"Did you say you had slept on the
ground while serving your country with
out any kiver?"
"I did"
"Did you say your feet covered the
ground you walked over with blood ?"
Yes" replied the speaker exultingly.
Well, then," said the fearful citizen,
rs he gave a sigh of pent-up emotion, 81
guess I'll vote for t'other fellow, for I'll
be darned if you hain't done enough for
your country"

A FRIEND OF THE BEASTS.

The Territorial Enterprise has the fol-
lowing: There appears to be something
magnetic or Notwithstanding from
the system of certain men which gives
them much influence over the inferior
animals which makes them, as it were,
animal charmers. Officer Hayton, of
the police force of this city, is one of
those peculiarly gifted individuals. Dogs,
cats, pigs, sheep, horses, and all kinds of
animals, feel and acknowledge his infu-
ence. When he makes his appearance,
dogs, cats, and all kinds Of dumb beasts,
appear 10 experience certain degree of
pleasure in his presence, and make the
best demonstrations of friendship in their
power" go for him." Of nights, when
he is going his rounds about the streets,
it is no uncommon thing to see from six
to eight dogs, of all breeds, sizes and con-
ditions, constantly following behind him,
stopping when he stops, and again mov-
ing on when he proceeds on his beat.
Not only do vagrant and dissipated-look-
ing ours leave their half-gnawed bones
and follow at his heels, but also well-fed
and sleek watch dogs, that have slipped
away from their own door-stones to en-
joy for the time the pleasure Of being
near their great friend, What is strange
about the business is, there appears to be
no jealousy among Mr.. Hayton's follow
ers. They jog along together without a
growl or snarl-all as one family. AL
though cats do not follow him about the
streets, yet they all manifest great pleas
ure in his approach. They rear aloft and
gently wave their tails, rub their backs
against doorsteps, and purring melodi-
ously all the time, keep one eye cooked
upon him as he approaches. The other
night sheep, which had followed him
all about town, would not give him up
even when he went into saloon, but
marched in after him unmindful of the
crowd that filled the room. The secret
OF the officers great influence among the
animals probably lies in his love for them
and his kind treatment Of dumb brutes of
every kind. At his residence he has
regular menagerie Of white rats, squir-
rels, cats, dogs, rabbits, wolves, skunks
and almost every kind Of animal to be
had on the Pacific coast. Could he get
hold of a wild African lion, he would
soon have him following him about the
streets the same as the dogs do now.

farmer who took a boy to printing office
to "make an editor outen o. him :"
"The editor sat in his sanctum and look
ed the old man in the eye then glanced
at the grinning young hopeful, and mourn
fully made this reply: Is your son Il
small, unbound edition of Moses and Sol
ONION both ? Can he compass his spirit
with meekness, and strangle a natural
oath Can he leave all his wrongs to
the future, and carry his heart in his
check? Can he do an hours work in
minute, and live on six-pence a week {?
Can he courteously talk to an equal, and
browbeat an impudent Ounce? Can he
keep things in apple-pie order, and do n
half dozen at once? Can he press all
the springs Of knowledge with quick
and reliable touch ? And be sure he
knows how much to know, and knows
how to not know too much ? Does he
know how to stir up his virtue, and put
a check-ren on his pride ? Can he carry
a gentleman's manners with rhnoceros'
hide? Can he know all and do all and
be all, with cheerfulness, courage and
vim ? If SO, we, perhaps, can make an
editor outen o. him. The farmer stood
curiously listening, while wonder his vi
sion o'erspread, and said: Jim, guess
well be goin', he's probably out Of his
head.'"

There is no other safe in the market which

may not be opened by skilled burglars in from

burglars, provided with the most modern an

INTO any Bank, Vault or Counting Room. ms no
equal power can be brought to bear In any
such place as to overcome the strength and
combination of tho material used and the
mode of construction.
POWDER or NITRO 0-GLYCERINE cannot
be introduced into il. WEDGES cannot bc
employed to open it. The OXy-hydroeen BIow-
pipe only opens the way to new and insur-
mountable difficulties before which the hoIdest
burglars would shrink in despair. Drills. oven

walls. lJ is impossible to drive in a holt 50 as

as no bolt In the safe passes entirely thronoh
the walls, and no bolt penetrates through t6a
