Marsnai IacMahoni and the French
Assembly.

There are so many startling possibilities
involved in the game now in progress at Ver-
sailles that crisis even of moderate intensity
excites peculiar interest while, as the natu-
raj inference from our news is that there is q
crisis of the first order imminent, the interest
is proportionately greater. Indeed, it is prob
able the case may prove exciting before many
days. 1t was reported yesterday that Mac
Mahon had asked that his power be prolonged
to term of seven years, and it is reported
to-day that the committee charged with this
subject has refused to make the required con-
cession. 1t was false step on the part Of
MacMahon to call for the prolongation of his
power. 1t is a very great blunder in the
tactics of the Duke de Broglie that he has put
his puppet President in the false position Of
making some requirement of the country
when the secret of moral force in his
position was that the country should
require something of him. His indif-
ference to position-his aversion, real
or assumed, to the Office that was thrust
upon hm-was MacMahon's grea strength La
the beginning of his political career and
when he seemed to yield his own inclinations
and accepted the Presidency, not as one who
takes dignity, but as one who performs an
onerous duty that the welfare of his country
demands at his hands, conservative French
men were in ecstasies, because they believed
that they had an Executive that would not en-
courage the growth of dangerous parties, and
who had so little personal ambition that he
would be ready to leave Office at any moment
the country would give its consent to his re-
tirement But now that bluff soldier asks for
ten years Of Office and is refused renews his
is refused again, and has it currently whis-
pered about that he will accept five years if he
can get even that little. All this is fatal to his
prestige. 1t does not help one to have to ask
such little favors as these in France,
while TO ask and be refused is SIM
ply ruinous. But the republicans are gaining
all that the royalists lose in position before
the country, and they must have already ac-
quired great confidence to thus calmly put
aside the man who was at least, an acceptable
middle term between two impossible ex-
tremes The demand for seven years was
proposed by MacMahon somewhat as an ulti-
matum. He required that term as guarantee.
without which he could not undertake to pre-
serve tranquility and govern the country; so
the term is refused, and "What is he going TO

ployed in it. Conrad Composer,
the inside boss, went into an old
working in the water level when
the explosion Immediately followed,
caused, it is thought, by fire damp,
which communicated with the air
ways from the water level into the
slope below where the men worked.
The miners in this section of the
coal region, not being accustomed
to black damp, though it was blast
ing powder that had been set on
fire, and they remained in the slope
until almost overcome with black
damp, and then starting to come
up met the body of the after damp
and fell senseless. The stronger
men managed to get out, however,
and gave the alarm to the guide,
who followed, but on reaching the
top of the slope they fell back, be-
ing completely overcome. John
Hays, outside boss, on hearing the
alarm Immediately went to their
rescue. After proceeding about
five hundred yards he fell face
downward in a pool of water and
was drowned. Eugene Magenski
was found drowned by his side.
Eight men were brought out dead.
There was no caving in of the mine,
as at first supposed, and there was
no fault in the ventilations. The
accident resulted from old gas ex-
ploding in disused working. Up
I to ten p. IN. ten bodies have been
taken out. Many of the men from
the surrending mines came to rem
der assistance. Wifes and child
rem rushed to the scene of the dis
aster and found their husbands and
brothers either dead or gasping
for breath, while others watched
the arrival of friends on slope wag-
ons from below. There were fifty
men in the slope at the time Of the
explosion, thirty-fve of whom are
known to have escaped and will re-
cover.

Between thirty and forty new

untrue.

Our village editor, C. S. Hi

purpose. 1t is lGX2O, and will add
greatly to the gool looks of our
main avenue.
OF course the arrival Of the Dun
lap brought happy faces and hap
py hearts to our citizens. She is
beautiful and large, and looks like
business.
New bridges, Sidewalks, fences,
etc, is the order of tho day. Many
houses are receiving fresh coats of
paint. Some folks seem to be in n
great hurry to marry, and the
house population is increasing rap
idly.
The timbers for the new NJ. E.

Recent advices from the Modoc
country record the cowardly masa-
cree of four of the Modoc prison
ers by band of civilians, who sur
prised the guards conducting the
Indians from Fairchild's Rancho to

both citizens and soldiers.

Betsey and / Are Out"

Miss Emerson, of New York, cousin
of the Concord philosopher, alleges that
she is the real, genuine, original composer
of the ballads, ditties. or whatever they
are, which have given fame to the name of
Will Carleton within the last year or two.
1t seems, according to her story, that af-
ter she had written "Betsey and l Are
Out,,o and the rest of them, she read her
compositions one evening in presence of
the young man Carleton, who then asked
her to give him copy of them, which
she did; but what was her amazement
when she learned in short time that the
beardless youth was actually publishing
these products of her poetic brain as his
own in Harper's Weekly and other papers.
She was naturally indignant, excited,
dumbfounded, not to say flabbergasted !;
but Carleton had got ahead of her, and
had the advantage for The time being.
She Is now prepared to substantiate her
claims, and has completed negotiations
with New York publisher to bring out,
under her own name, the poems which
have already appeared under the name of
viii Carleton. Cincinnati Commercial.
