we regret extremely to loarn that
MIR. j. l.. Southern has identified
himself with that kmiserable fraud,
the bonanza bill, by actually consent
1ng'to sonvo as oom missioner under
the act. We warned Mr.. Southern
that such course might prove dis
'a'trous to>lsin. He has decided for
himself, md must blame himself, not
tho News, IF his decision i1jures him.
We rejoice however that tho iniunc.
tion granted against the aot will most
probably render futile any attempt by
any party to pat the act into opera
sion.

4 Remarkable Editor.

The London Echo of Jan. IL says ::
"'Ihe career OF q French journal is
usually chequered one, and the vicissi-
tlldes of the GazGi g de France, which,
having attained the age of 244 years, has
just been sold by auction, would fill
volume. One of its hottest periods,
however, was during the monarchy of
July. The Gazette was one of the last
French journals which employed a
dummy as responsible editor, and dur
ing the reign of Louis Philippe this
post was filed by a worthy man OF the
name of Apbry Poucault, who had been
steward or an upper servant of some sort
in the household of his master, M. De
Genoude, the real editor and proprietor
of the Gazette de France All he had
TO do was TO sign the editorials with his
own name, and il was the delight of
young barristers TO hear him, on the
frequent occasions when the journal
came into collision with the press laws,
own TO the authorship of the incrimi
mated leaders in such ungrmmaticaI
French as TO leave no doubt that his mar
tyrdom was vicarious. Martyred he GER
tainly was immense fines were inflicted,
at least ostensibly, upon him, and his
imprisonments were many and long.
When his occupation was at last gone,
the good man fell back upon his recol-
lections of the distinguished persons he
had seen during his career as a journal
ist. and loved to recall the fact that
Chateaubriand had twice spoken to him.
Yes. he would say, twice-once he
asked me to put his cane in the corner,
and the second time, as l was about to
show him in to M. De Genoude, he said,
Never mind, Aubry, will go straight

How He Saved a Choking Child.

A correspondent, writing from Reno,
New, to the Sacramento Union, tells
how he saved the life of a child. He
writes :" was engaged in hauling
wood from timber ranch to Austin,
Reese River, New. There was house
over the summit from the above place,
where resided two families belonging to
the wood-choppers, and on arriving in
sight of the house a woman came out
and beckoned me to make haste, that
something was wrong. | did so, and
just in time, for the other woman came
ont holding child in her arms, appar-
emily dead. 1t was black in the face.
She told me the child had been eating
pine-nuts, and had got a shell in its
throat, had choked, and was dying.
Immediately got piece of board
about four feet long and placed it across
the door-sill. She sat the child on on
end and 1 tipped the other, making a
sudden jar, which caused the shell to
pass downward, and gave the child inn
immediate relief. No person can imagine
how overjoyed that mother was for saw
ing her onl child. know of several
cases in which this process has proved

Too Happy TO Live.

The Paris journals tell of young
couple who were too happy to live, at
least the accounts seem to be colored
with that idea. NJ. Bastein was young
architect of promise. He had married
a young lady of beauty and accomplish
ments, the daughter of rich merchant,
M. Chsnnard. The couple had been
married nine months on last New Years
day, and appeared to be sincerely de-
voted to each other. Nine. Bastein ex-
pected soon to become a mother. On
New-Year's day the couple went to dine
with Nj. Channard, and returned home
at midnight. NJ. Channard was engaged
to dine with them next day. In the
morning the lady went out to make
some purchases, and returned at noon.
In the course of the afternoon there
were several rings of their doorbell, but
no answer was returned. According to
appointment NJ. Channard came and
rang no response. He was told that
several other persons had been equally
unsuccessful. A locksmith was called
and the door was opened. The young
people were found dead in their bed,
Nine. Bastein, clad in her dressing
gown aud her husband in his trousers
and waist-coat. The remains of the
breakfast of which both had evidently
partaken were on the table. A bottle
of ammonia and one of sedative water
were on the mantelpiece. These were
the only answers to blank inquiry and
searching grief. Nothing was disar-
ranged in the room, and there theyoung
man and wife lay locked in each others
arms, and death had caught and
clutched the last smiles on their faces.
1t was photograph of love and peace.
They were perfectly happy and they
locked themselves in with their happi-
ness and called death to turn the key.
The world could not rob them now, and
they lay and smiled the smile of victory.
A medical man said they had poisoned
themselves, and gave it as his opinion
that the wife died first. Was there Just
a moment of regret at the separation in
the husbands heart ? Did he look in
her face and smile when he thought
that he was about to rejoin her and
meet that sweet face on the other side

Crying Children.

Everybody likes to play with a
"baby," and everybody hates a crying
child. There are few philosophers who
have common reason to know that a
child never cries but for something.
The parental hand cruelty Furnishes the
pet of the household for acting ont the
instincts of its nature. A child cannot
cry because it wants to, but there is a
provocation to precede it, or an idea
provoking it. A ,''habit" of crying,
even is not fairly attributed to children.
If they are cross-grained by birth, or
genealogy, this is one cause for it. We
doubt whether a child could become
such an adroit actor as to cry merely
because it wanted to. This little Joy
of the household is the really only
innocent thing about the house. It's
laughter and merry smiles set us to
laughing also.
We feel disposed to come to the res
cue of the innocents, as they may be
falsely accused in our premature judg-
ment. We must say this of the "baby, F"
truthfully, that it can get up a cry on
the shortest time possible of anything
on Iccoru, anu IL IL Willis 10, can HUSH
up as quickly. When we know how
easily touched their little hearts be-
come, and the mouth Fuckers up pre-
liminary to bawl, We very cruelty
laugh at their real troubles, but should
not. 1t is just as bad as to hold a cat
by the tail to hear it snarl-it is just as
mean.
A lady has written a book about chill
dren, in which she states that, being
kept awake one night, she heard at least
twenty children whipped for crying by
their inconsiderate parents, who could
sleep all night themselves, and pun
ished the children because they did
not. When the little ones cry, take
every pains to quiet them outside of a
vinegar bottle.
