The Chicago Times, the other day, in
an elaborate and elegantly-written biog-
raphy of Marshal Bazaine, attempted
to credit that distinguished soldier with
" thirty-tive years of actual service. y
Imagine the CONSERVATION Of the vener-
able editor-in- chief when he read, in
next mornings paper, that thirty-fve
years of the French Marshal's life had
been "spent in actual oicc! - 1t is
said the language used by "our army
in Flanders was tame in comparison
to the thunderbolts of blue lightning
launched by the silver-haired chief at
the innocent typo who committed the
blunder.

CHLOROFORMING THE CHICKENS.

CHLOROFORMING TIE CHIFhENS.
Capt. Vandiyer, Of this country, who,
by the way, is quite stirring farmer,
recently hired three young men to work
on his farm. He told each man that he
must be up lin the morning by the first
growing Of the cock. He had faithful
old rooster who never failed to crow at
the earliest dawn, and it was agreed all
round that his first notes should be the
signal for the boys to be up and about
the duties of the day. Monday morn
ing came, and the Captain awoke, as
usual, before day, and listened long and
patiently for chanticleer to "sing his
earliest greeting" but he sang not
Day began to dawn, and the old hens
were singing in the barnyard, but no
growing was heard on the farm. BY
and by the sun arose and sent his first
and brightest rays through the Captain S
window. The Captain again awoke
from his second snooze, and, seeing the
sunshine on the floor, sprang from his
bed with the exclamation, "What in the
ID is the matter with that chicken ?"
From the bedroom of the boys came
three snores, loud and long drawn-out.
The cd says the Captain, " them
lazy rascals are asleep yet! What in
the mischief can be the matter with my
old rooster?" Putting ON his clothes
he fastened to the hen-house-all the
chickens had flown the roost save the
chanticleer, who set with dropped wings
and head between his feet-fast asleep.
The boys had chloroformed him. -

The Hon. Amasa Walker has written
a letter upon the resumption Of specie
payment in which he commends the
plan proposed by Senator Sumner iu
1871, which was as follows l. That
the Secretary of the Treasury should be
instructed to prepare compound inter
est notes, payable in three years,
bearing interest like those issued
during the war, at 6 per cent, of de-
nominations snitable for circulation
Five millions of these were to be dated
the list of each month, and paid out for
all dues of the Government, except
those payable in gold. 2. They We're to
be convertible at the end of two years
into 1910 5 per cent bonds, at the op-
ton of the holder. and to be a legal
tender. 3. Greenbacks were to be can
celed as they came INTO the national
treasury as fast as the compound inter
est notes were issued. BY the process
tie present circulatory notes of the
treasury would all be taken in and de-
stroyed, and their place be occupied by
the new issue.

A SINGULAR coincidence recently
brought an offender to justice. About
two years ago, being then justice OF
the peace at New Orleans, he obtained
possession fradulently of a considerable
sum of money, and then disappeared.
After travelling about the country and
spending all his money, he arrived at
Cincinnati, and enlisted under an as
sumcd name in the United States army,
expecting, no doubt, that he would be
sent to some remote post in the West,
where his crime could not overtake him.
Instead Of that, he was assigned to a
regiment on duty at New Orlean7, and
was thus sent back to the scene Of his
crime, where he was Immediately recog-
nizod and arrested.

Mrs. ELIZABETH CHURCHILL, of Rhode
Island, read a paper to the Congress of
the Associations for the Amelioration
of Woman" on the Relation of Woman
to the Temperance Cause" She urged
women to refuse to marry moderate
drinkers. She said the world had gone
on long enough marrying blindly and
stupidly, and that it was time to de-
mand the same purity in man as he de-
manded in woman. She also exhorted
women to oppose the use of tobacco, for
that led to the use of liquor. To speak
of tobacco as leading to drinking is rs if
one should say that one who begins with
murder may by e process of moral
declension become a procrastinator.
But if women would refuse to marry
moderate drinkers and consumers of
tobacco, it is likely that drunkenness
and the tobacco vice would be ex-
tinguished.

In view of q large increase OF emigra
ton from Europe the coming year, the
Canadian authorities are making efforts
to turn its course toward the Dominion.
The Government offers to agricultural
loborers a passage from Liverpool to
Quebec for $11 for all over eight years.
The Ontario Government grants to the
emigrant or person or associations aid
ing So, so that the actual cost Of the
passage is reduced to IS. Other emf
grants, not coming under the head of
agricultural laborers, pay $23 for the
voyage, of which the Government RENTS

The great fortune of $3,000,000 left

count of flaw in the will, to recover
the amount, that not more than $25, 900

A Dutchman's Remedy.

The family of Dutchman in Iowa. hay-
ing frequent occasion to employ physician,
the head of the family became quite familiar
with the form of writing prescripti0s The
doctor was one of those mixtures of farmer.
stock raiser and physician, not uncommon in
the country but exercising very little care
IN the management of his cattle, which told
wonderfully against his pecuniary interests,
while the Dutchman's herd, being we'll fed
and well housed, was in very fine condition.
The doctor was not slow in observing the diff
ference, and suggested to the farmer that he
thought something was the matter with his
cattle, and requested him to ride over and
tell him what to do fsr them The farmer
very cheerfuly promised to do so at given
time, and when that time arrived he was
promptly on hand. 1t so happened that the
doctor had been called away. The Dutch
man, however, examined the stock very care
fully and then looked in all directions for
suitable shelter aud food, without finding
either. Deducins the conclusion that hum
ger and cold, with lack of care, were the only
diseases with which the cattle were suffering.
he entered the Office of the doctor and left
the following prescription
"R-Good Sheltcrum
Corn mcalum q q,
Pure watcrum. q q.
Apply corn stum in form of poultice to mucus
membrane of stomach, and renew twice day."
The prescription worked wonders. Tt
pleased the kind hearted doctor, restored the
stock to good condition, and paid very large
share of the bill which had been incurred in
doctorins the equally good naturcd and witty
Dutchman's family.
