Count de Larochefoucauld recently attached to
the French legation az Madrid, Is now in Paris ON
his way to Washington, where he succeeds tho
Marquis de Clermont T0rmeneas as First Secretary.
1t rs rumored from Ashantee that Kone KalKali
has retired to his country seat" and that Qua
moali MensGli has been declared King. Here is q
hint. Let some one give His Excellency a country
seat.
At hearing in q case Of libel against the Lon
don World, which discussed .west End Usurers,"
oae OF the plaintiffs admitted that he had lent
money at rates OF interest varying from sixty 70
eighty per cent.
In England people VINO refuse to have their
children vaccinated are put in prison and well
coined with torchlignt professions when they
come out. Every Englishman claims the right for
his children to have smallpox guaranteed By
Magma Charta.
BY the french code it Is forbidden for any doctor
to inherit under Will the property OF his patient;
but rich man IN Marseiles recently left 800, 600
francs his doctors wife. and his heirs appeal to
the courts the ground that this Is in contraven-
ton OF the principle OF the code.
1t IL said that there are In existence three i'm
perial loans contracted by the Empress the total
OF which Is 81, 100000 francs $6,50O 900. These
bear no interest and are only payable upon the
restoration OF the Empire; and then are to DO
paid ten times their lace that Ia to say 1926 900
|. francs or $65, 900.
Election expenses in England not trivial
Messrs. Bell and Palmer, CHOSEN for the Northern
division OF county Durham spent together $50 COS.
and they have not the least chance to get
even by . neat little bit OF bribery. Ono can sec
at glance the greater advantage of our freer
country to poor candidates.
1t Is said that Washburnes letter rom Paris de-
mics what not charged and does not deny
what was charged. That Is not true. 1t was
charged that $40, 900 was given to a third party
| Tor Matchmaking is, given to him indirectly.
He straghtforwardly denies that he ever received
n dollar, or was ever offered one. He therefore.
denies distinctly the allegation made.
IL Is queer fancy On the part OF Manchester 10
present Cnfef Justice Cockburn with AN address
referring his '.invaluabie services In reference
to the Alabama caimsn lie did his utmost TO
defeat the treaty and break up the negotiation,
and as he succeeded In neither his great labOrs
tn 10
failed OF their only aim and II ne had succeeded he
would have ruined Manchester.
Strangely enough the time has come around
when this progressive people may learn something
even from countries as hopelessly decrepit az
Turkey. AnatoIia has been many times devas-
tared by grassnoppers, aud they have provided q
remedy IN the destruction OF the eggs against tho
continuance OF the scourgc. and this remedy We
might study.
They have got q good Judge in Australia His
name Ia Skinner. In an insolvency case Ills Honor
declined to grant . certificate the ground that
the insolvent had concealed himself from his cred
| ttors by advertising the meeting In the Gazette
only. The Gazette Is an oficial paper like our Chv
Record 1t was bad enough In any case, the Judge
said, TO advertise only in . journal which no one
| ever reads but IL Ia much worse when the sppiL.
cant could not pay thirty cents on the dollar.
There was . panic in q Paris street over tho
| conduct OF magnificent retriever IN front OF tho
| window OF dealer in picture frames. He Jumped,
yelled, barked. tried to throw himself through tho
! glass; and he was mad, OF course. They were
about to Kill him, but philosopher interIered It
seemed to him that all those tricities OF the
| DOG had relation to portrait in the window So
It proved. All this was JOY at sight OF the portraits
| OF lady. That lady lived In Marseillcs, and tina
dog had been stolen from her many months be-
fore. Strange chance 70 ind his way nome by the
picture placed there casually TO EXHIBIT the
frame.
