This would bring the Assembly close to France,

The misfortune Of France has been and is now that
the nation is antagonzed by the legislative power,
and there no way out OF the problem but by revo-
scheme OF partial elections and renewal, and that
is why I am so bitterly opposed to IL. Such .
scheme seems TO absorb all the defects. An Assem-
by must represent the country fairly or
IL is not a National Assembly Now, n
an Assembly really represents the average
prevalent public opinion Of France then no election
ia necessary. But n an Assembly like the one now
in session, as regard it, does not represent the
country then Of what use Is partial election The
country could not speak by partial election, and
the result would be to swell the minority and bring
out in more glowing colors the discrepancy be-
tween the Assembly as 1t now exists and
general public opinion. connot think OF an

people In France. who say, well, after all, have
sworn fealty to Napoleon. l voted him in the
ple0tscite and have taken him "a my lord and
king,' and so on, and however Impossible the
idea may appear to you and l, they think he will
come again to power. His death would destroy
this illusion, or sentiment, and in material way
would accordingly be q great gain to the republic.
That, at least, Is the way 1t seems to me- although
have thought little about 1t, must confess"
"But there are many Napoleonists,' added your
correspondent, ''who regard this Napoleon az an
encumbrance, with Sedan and other annoyances
to crowd upon him and weigh him down. who see
IN the party far more than the personal being

A WONDERFUL GOLD MrNE-Letters from
Buenos Ayres announce the discovery of
wonderful gold bearing region In the northern
provinces OF the Argentine Republic. The
story runs that q scientific German being i'm
pressed with the idea that the locality in cues
ton must be rich in the precious metals, came
out from Europe 20 make explorations, and IN
the valley Of Famatina, in the province OF
kioja, he discovered wonderful deposits and ,
keeping his secret, he purchased four square
leagues of Government land in the richest part
OF the valley for mere song lie next sold two
square leagues 20 company in Buenos Ayres
for one hundred millions of dollars in currency,
guaranteeing on a moderate outlay a return OF
SS3,0l0 day. This story has probably been
started as a stockjobbing operation by n COM
binatfon of swindling spectators. Those who
read II will do well TO bear in mind the eNpe-
riences OF the Emma Mining company, Utah,
and the .dlamonl sMinalen of ArizonA.
