Henry v. Defines His Position.

Count de Chambord has written let
ter to Nj. de Chesnelong, one OF the
delegation from the Right which re-
Gently waited on him. The count says
misapprehensions have arisen tending
to obscure his policy, which is as clear
as day. He owes the whole truth TO
the country. He is asked to sacrifice
his honor. He emphatically declares
he retracts nothing, curtails nothing OF
his previous declarations OF yesterday
for the shadow Of what would be ex-
acted tomorrow. He cannot inaugu-
rate q strong reign by an act OF weak
ness. He energetically refuses to re-
tinguish the white flag. He indignant
ly repels insinuations that he mistrusts
the valor of the soldiers. On the con-
trary, he seeks to contide to them all
he holds dear. He ignores none OF his
country's glories and continues: 1--WE
have q great work to accomplish, which
| am ready to undertake at any time.
This is why I wish to remain as l am.
We're l enfeebled to-day, l would be
powerless to morrow. The issue at
stake is the reconstruction OF society
and the insurance of law, order and
prosperity. Especially should we not
fear to employ force in the service OF
order and justice. Conditions and
guarantees are spoken of. Were any
\ required by the count OF Paris, who
came to me spontaneously, at the dicta-
ton of patriotism? Ipreserved intact
| our traditions and liberties and have
the right to reckon on equal confidence.
The letter concludes as follows: My
personality is nothing; principle is ev'
erything. France will see an end to
her troubles when she understands
this. am the necessary pilot, alone
| capable of guiding her into port, be-
cause have the mission OF authority.
France cannot perish because Chrise
still loves her."

A. Cold Shake.

There was an interesting scene at the
Interior department last week, on the
occasion of council between the gov
ernment officials and the delegations OF
Arapahoes, Cheyennes and Ute In
dams, the conference being in the inter
est of peace between the Utes and the
former bands. Commissioner Smith
represented to the Indians the great i'm
portance of establishing friendly rela'
tions, and assured them whether they
did so or not, if they left their reserva-
tions they would be punished He told
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes that the
Utes were with our government, which
was bound to protect them at all times,
and that the government is determined
that fighting between Indian tribes
must cease, and that it cannot continue
much longer.
Powder Face, of the Arapahoes, said
he had from his early youth thought 1t
right to war upon the Utes and had
never failed to kill of that tribe when he
could. But in latter years his mind has
been changed. He was not unwilling
there should be peace between the
tribes. The commissioner suggested
that preliminaries of the peace move
ment be established by the Indians
shaking hands with one another. Ouray,
speaking for the Utes, said they
thought it best to make peace as
whole; that although these men may
be friendly, the tribes generally may
not feel that way. Ouray was some
what afraid the enemies of the Utes
spoke with tongues. The Indian COM
missioner said it was only necessary
now that they make peace as indlvld-
| uals and not as representatives of their
tribes. After rather serious consulta-
ton by chiefs of the separate tribes,
Ouray and Powder Face advanced into
the middle of the room and shook
hands very formally and with no ex-
preston of satisfaction. Afterwards
there was general though not to all
appearances very cordial Misunderstanding.
Powder Face said the Great Spirit was
looking down and he would say whether
this was all right or not. Stone Calf,
of the Cheyennes, demurred at first,
but afterwards joined the others and
shook hands with the Utes.
At the termination of the council 1t
was proposed to the Indians to go to
the hotel in the same coach, but the
Utes objected on the ground that they
could not understand each others Ian
guage.

CAMPHoR AS A MEDICINE. The Sclen-
tific American lectures those people who
make frequent use of camphor as a
medicine. It says: The physiological
action of camphor is not yet under
stood; but, judging by the symptoms
that follow the taking of moderate
dose, it may be called nervous stimu-
liant. 1t is somewhat like opium and
alcohol, therefore, in its action, when
given in small quantities; but, when
taken in large doses, it causes excessive
irritation TO the nervous system, pro
ducing commissions and death. Cam
phor acts to irritate and congest, ant
finally, to inhame the mucous lining @
the stomach, causing, in the milde
eases, a form Of dyspepsia, and, in th
more aggravated, liberation of tn
stomach. From these two actions
namely, that OF nervous stimulant an
local irritant, come all the good ant
evil of its use. We can, therefore
readily see how unsuited this drng Is u
be q household remedy'

The currency famine which has proved 20 dis
astrous to the interests of the working people
throughout the country is not without its COM
Pensations in part, and among these the prin-
cipal is the shrinkage in the prices of commodi-
ties generally. Those business men who prompt
iy recognize the changed condition of affairs
and come down before they are forced down,
and let the public know what they are about,
will gain an advantage they will not soon lose
again. The great house of Clafiin s. Co., in
New York, advertise to sell their stock of dry
goods-nearly six million dollars worth-at
greatly reduced prices, and their example will
be followed by those smaller dealers who wish

The Springfield Republican says that however
much the Virginius may have abused the nag
under which she sailed, the seizure of her by
the Spaniards violated those precious principles
of modern civilization the recognition of which
Christianity is slowly enforcing at so much
pains, even in q state OF war. little schooling
in the decencies of war is sadly needed By
Spain, and is perhaps all that is necessary to a
clearer comprehension and speedy settlement
OF the whole Cuban problem.

The return of the Tigress brings with 1t a yery
strange story from Mr.. Tyson, the commander
poison story about the death of Captain Hail.
but alleges = shocking course of conduct against
Captain Budiington. As the statement Of the
latter has not been made public, it would be
nnfair 10 comment on the probability of what
Tyson advances on hearsay. IL Is curious that
Morton condemns DIR. Bessel, and Tyson Capt
Buddjngton- The Danish inspector OF Green
land, Mr.. Krarup Smith, believed Buddington
TO be the tool of Bessel, and now Buddington
appears through Tyson as the denouncer of the
German scientist 1t would, indeed, be well
that the whole truth was laid before the public
TO reconcile. as far possible, the statements
regarding the sad death of Captain Hall, or, at
ton be separated from the facts as they occur
red--N. u. Herald
IL certainly will be better for all concerned
that the entire truth should be deyeloped while
all the participants in the expedition with the
exception Of the dead leader are within reach
to be questioned. The story that Capt. Hall
came TO a foul end should be established or
silenced beyond revival. And revive it will,
unless the demonstration of its falsity is conclu
sive- 1t is well known here that Mrs. Hall, the
widow of Capt. Hall, who has recently been in
Washington, is fully impressed with the belief
that her husband was murdered. She has male
a strong appeal to our government to send out
an expedition to bring the body of her husband
home. 1t seems to us that this will be
the only really satisfactory way OF clearing up
the mystery, and of doing justice to both the
living and the dead. If Capt. Hall was poi
soned the tell-tale evidence will be found upon
his body. IL has been reported that though the
government may not send a vessel solely for the
body. that an expedition sent out for further
exploration may call for it. In this case, of
course, care should be taken. that none of the
persons implicated by rumor in the murder of
Capt Hall should take part In this expedition
to have an opportunity to tamper with his re-
mains. And it would be better, we think, to
have any further investigation a public one.
This will serve to silence the possibility of flu
ture cayil a. to the character and thorou ghness
OF the investigation.
