The ARMS FURNISHED FRANCE.
The Chicago Times remarks. It
will be remembered that we ped.
died guns to France when the
latter was fighting Germany.
The propriety of the sale was
questionable. Unfortunately for
France, the condition of the GUNS
was also questionable. Garabet-
ia is now in danger of being tried
for his failure when he was Di.
rector to furnish the Breton arrnv
with arms. The report Of the
Committee of National Defense
on this subject says that the guns.
when finallylzfurnished, ''had
come from America, and had
beep6riginally intended for the
civil war between the States"
but were then almost useless ::
they were rusty, had never been
properly finished and were with
out the necessary appliances to
make them effective. :" The
question now is, who made the
money in this job?

Twins THAT WERE NOR TWINS.
We clip from the Marysville
(Ks.) News: There is living
about one mile from Vermilion
Station. in this county, . pair of
twins that ain't exactly ! pair of
twins, either. That Is to- issy.
one of them. a boy, was bornss ON
the 18th day of June, 1868, at
10 o'clock A. NJ, and the other,
q girl, was born on the 9Th day
of October following, at o
o'clock P. M, making not quite
four months difference in their
ages. The twins have q little
brother that is a couple Of years
younger. and their fidelity to
each other is often evinced BY
the pair "lathering" the little
fellow in a manner that is stri-
kingly proverbial Of twins. ].

as follows
IF only one OF, a good way
would be to hoist him, by means
of a long chain attached to his

feet from the ground. Then hoist
him by a pole tied to his horns

TIE WIFE.

Much has been written and
much may still be written in re-
gard to the influence of woman.
Man meyer really feels his Deepen
dence, his loneliness in life till he
forever loses q wife or a mother.
True, many wives, like many hus-
bands, do not fill the bill. A wife
retired, modest, lovable and kind,
never receives the credit, affection
and the esteem, due her till the
husband loses her, the companion
of his earlier days; the woman OF
his first love. Twenty-Five years
of companionship with a good
wife has more to do in making the
character of a good man than the
most of US can easily see. But
few really great and good men ever
lived that had not good wives. A
good wife, in her kindness, softens
