French Election.

On the Oath of May the resig-
nation of M. Theirs, as President
of France, was received by the
French Assembly. 1t caused quite
a sensation, but by a vote of 1868
to 339, a motion not to accept the
resignation was lost. The Assem-.
bly, then formally, and with much
mixed feeling, accepted Theirs
resignation. A vote was then
taken for a successor to Ex- Presi-
dent Theirs, which resulted in the
choice of Marshal Mcmahon, by
a majority of % over all. We
cannot say that we congratulate
France upon the choice ola sol
der for ruler, inst at the present
crisis, but hope it may be for the
best.

opened the sale. Bidding Was

bachelor named Peter ID. Joslyn,
boarding on Maple street, and he
was the only one who took the

the bidding from 43c to IS and
then raised it to IS. The auc-
