A French Opinion of America

M. Louis Ncuillot, editor of the Paris
U"irers, pays his respects to America
in the following passage America
might founder in the ocean once for ALL
and the human race would suffer no loss
thereby. Not saint, not an artist, not
a thinker has it produced, unless one
may term thought the aptitude for
twisting iron for the construction of
freight trains. The priests who wear
out their lives there cannot create Il
civilization. They serve only to convey
extreme junction to expiring races and a
few savages eXpatriated from Europe.
Thus far there is no civilization in
America, and rs far as appearances go
there never will be. In that part of it
only where France accimatized Catho-
LEFTY is there any true evidence OF life
Elsewhere the brutality of demagogism

Legislation i'm the Interest of the
(IraNgerS

Washington Cor. Chicago Inter- Ocoan.]
Those members of the House who
have best claims to represent the farm
ers' movement give the following as the
points of Legislation which will be urged
on Congress in the interest of the
Changers:
l. The opening of the mouth of the
Mississippi to large vessels in such a
manner as to insure their entrance and
egress at all stages of water without
difficulty. As to the means the Changers
are indifferent, and whether the end is
attained by dredging or by means of a
new canal they will be satisfied, their
only desire being to insure water trans
portation for their grain to the ocean.
If large sum is needed to open the
river permanently, they will favor with
drawing the appropriations usually made
for large number of up-river points,
and consolidating the whole sum and
uniting it for this work.
2. Legislation to prevent the railways
west of the Mississippi river from dis
eliminating in their rates of freight
against points on the river, and in favor
of all railway points beyond, thus MAX
ing it impossible for farmers to avail
themselves of cheap water transporta-
ton.
3. Legislation to prevent similar dis
elimination by roads running east and
vest against north and south roads,
thus preventing farmers, when the Mis-
slssippi river is frozen, from sending
their grain southwark on RAILWAYS till
open river is reached
4. Legislation for fixing rates for the
transportation of live stock on RAILWAYS
from west to east. This is the only ar
ticle they will ask to have rates fixed
upon, and the reason for asking this is
that it is the only important article for
their products that must come by rail to
the East.
The only legislation involving money
to be asked for is the opening of the
mouth OF the Mississippi by withdraw
works.

AMERICAN WoMEN.-It is Il melan-
choly fact that American women have
degenerated in point of health and
physique, until they have become liter
ally race of invalids. How sad it is
to look around lis and compare the frail
and effeminate looking lady of to-day
with the hale, hearty and buxom ladies
of days gone by. To all such the late
discovery of DR.. WALKER, of California,
which is known as VINEGAR BlTTERs, is
a priceless boon indeed. For this class
of diseases it is certain and safe, and
any lady, old or young, can take it with
entire confidence in the result, and thus
avoid what to thousands is stumbling
block never overcome, viz: a consulta-
ton with family physician. lis true
there may be cases of years standing,
that will necessitate more powerful
treatment, but in nine cases out of ten
this remedy will reach the disease, and
after little time effect IA cure. The
number of ladies cured by it are num-
bered by thousands, and are scattered
through every State in the Union. 26

History of the Steel Pen.

The early history of the steel pen is
curiously obscure. The most diligent
search fails to discover the first maker
or the earliest date of this implement.
There were steel, or, rather, iron pens
made, we believe, in Hollands early
as the middle of the seventeenth cen
tury. Toward the close of the last cen
tury, Mr.. Harrison, an ingenious Biz
mlngham mechanic, made steel pens for
DR.. Priestly. One of them is nothing
more than tube turned out of a flat
strip of metal, with the sides and point
filed away in the shape of pen. The
first actual supply of such pens, it is be-
lieved-the authority for the statement
is no more than local tradition-was
made by Sheffield workman, whose
name is forgotten. From time to time,
as far back as 1909, steel pens, hand
fashioned, turned and filed, were made as
curiosities or Injuries for presents but
it was not until about 1894 that such
instruments We're produced in consider
able quantities as regular articles OF
manufacture. Mr.. James Perry was the
first manufacturer but the process was
tedious and costly. The metal was
steel, rolled out of wire, and for this Mr..
Perry paid as much as seven shillings n
pound. To the first person he employed
he gave five shillings for making each
pen; and even when the trade had be-
come regular, he gave for some years as
much as thirty-six shillings per gross to
his workmen Now-thanks to the ma
chinery and modern improvements
pens, not very good, perhaps, but good
enough to write with can be made and
sold at a profit for three cents per gross

The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
pie against the Monopolists, and treats
of the railroad system of the country,
its growth, actual condition and pros
poets. 1t then shows how this noble
system has been perverted to further
the ends of selfish capitalists and rail

given terrible and thrilling account OF

Scraps of Wisdom.

Anticipation of evil is the death of
happiness.
Christ is himself the one unanswera-
BILE proof of Christianity.
Some people are positive just in pro-
portion to their ignorance.
Partial culture runs to the ornate; ex-
treme culture to simplicity.
A dry goods merchant of Hartford
was asked how he spent his evenings.
His reply was "At night l store my
mind, and during the day l mind my
store"
What you keep by You may change
and mend, but words once spoken you
can never recall.
How many troubles might mankind
be spared if they would only stop to
hear each others explanation.
A good man and wise man may at
times be angry with the world, at times
grieved at it /; but be sure, no man was
ever discontinued with the world if he
did his duty in it.

The SIMS ernst,

Prof. Charles A. Young caused con-
siderable discussion at the American
Science Associations meeting at Port
land, lately, by some unique theories
regarding the sun. The eruptlons
which are continually occurring on its
surface render probable the supposition
that there is crust of some kind which
retains the imprisoned gases, and
through which they force their way i'll
lets with great violence. According to
Prof. Young, this crust may consist of n
more or less continuous sheet of de
scending rain-that is, a downfall of the
condensed vapors of those materials
which we know, from the spectroscope,
exist in the sun. The continuous etfiux
of the solar heat is equivalent to the
supply that would be developed by the
condensation, from steam to water, of ii
layer OF about five feet thick over the
whole surface of the sun every minute
of time. As this tremendous rain de
scends, the velocity of the falling drops
would be retarded by the resistance of
the denser gases underneath the drops
would coalesce until continuous sheet
would be formed; and these sheets
would unite and form IA sort of bottom
less ocean, resting on the compressed
vapors beneath, dpierced byinnumera-
Bile ascending jets and bubbles. 1t
would have an approximately constant
depth, because it would turn to vapor
at the bottom as rapidly as it grew at
the surface though, probably, the
thickness of this crust would continually
increase at low rate. and its whole
diameter grow less. In other words,
DR.. Young would regard the sun as an
enormous bubble, whose walls are ever
thickening and its diameter ever lessen
ing in proportion to the loss of heat.

4 Checkered Life.

The career of a witness in the Bazaine
trial is thus reviewed by the Paris cor
respondent of the Pal Man Gazette :.
"The person to whom | al!ude is
Maud 'heux, who was employed as an
emissary, by the commandant of Thion-
vile, to communicate with Bazaine.
This individual, who has Just been
brought before the Court of Assize in
the Cote dor, is the son of Paris adj
vocate who was condemned to hard labor
for life for forgery. The son was care
fully brought up by his mother, and re-
ceived first class education. He studied
the law with success, mastered six or
seven foreign languages, and might have
made himself capital position. How
ever, he took to bad ways, and then en-
listed. The discipline of the army did
not improve him, and he was several
times tried by court-martial. When his
time was out in prison, he returned to
civil life and committed forgery. He
was tried, and passed several years in
jail When released, he took to litera-
ture under false name, and produced
fifteen or sixteen volumes on diverse
subjects. He wrote for several papers,
and obtained the editorship of paper
in Algeria, but he committed new crimes
and was forced to fly. In order to live,
he was reduced to accept the position
OF common servant, under an assumed
name. He got into fresh trouble, and
then wandered from town to town, abus-
ing the confidence of friends and rela-
tives, deceiving people with his seduc-
tive tongue, and robbing ladies to whom
he promised marriage. He then got
work at an iron-master's in the Moselle,
and it was there that Col. TURNER found
him. Since the war he has committed
half dozen more forgeries, not to
speak of other crimes"

three millions of persons died of starva-
