A SHAMEFUL OANARD.

The account, published in some obscure
Western paper, of the finding of the lost bal
loonist, Donaldson, and Of his confession to
the party of men who found him, of having
thrown his companion, Grim wood, out of the
basket in order to tighten the balloon, is said
by the st. Louis Republican to be what every
body supposed it to be-a canard The man
who could bring himself to concoct so thrilling
and horrible lie in scorn of every principle
of humanity and decency and in shameless
disregard of the feelings of those who mourn
the loss of their sons and brothers, almost
deserves the fate he so wildly but falsely rep
resented as having been poor Grimwoods.
However little men who wantonly and fool
ishly risk and lose their lives may be entitled
to the sympathy or respect of the world,
surely those to whom they were dear should
be safe from mockery.

these officials have not been on duty ZOE over We
two months, though they have punctuaiiy
drawn their full salaries for every hour OF Tie
prolonged absence.
They are scattered in all directions IN ana
out of the country. Some are regularly estao-
lisbed at the seaside, like Grant, at Long
Rrancb others are travelling in Europe, 9TH
ers in New England, and others still IN Can,
ada. All of them are bent on pleasure ana
amusement, without the least concern lor
their obligations to the public.
Until Grant became President, no such
loose and indefensible practice as this is, was
ever known or would have been tolerated.
He sat the example and therefore could not
rebuke those wfo followed it, To this cause
may be ascribed much of the corruption and
stealing which have made the present admin
istration exceptionally odious.
Every facility has been offered to venal
and weak employees in the departments 10
abuse their trusts, and to fill their pockets
They have not failed to improve
these opportunities, as the frequent thefts,
conclusion with rings, and scandalous Joo-
berry, which are notorious, attest The want
of supervision and of strict accountability
has opened the door to fraud, and 1t will not
be closed until every vestige OF Grantlsm is
expelled from public service.

WASHINGTON, August 25.-Orders have been
sent to the officers commanding the American
vessels of war now at .Tripoi to demand instant
and complete reparation for the indignities Of
fered to the American Consul and his wife py
TIipolltan sailors. If the temper of the Tripoli.
tan people recently reported, is persistent, it
is not unlikely that our vessels of war may be
to again lombard that city.
THE last trouble between the United States
and Tripoli was during the administration of
Thomas Jefferson, in 1901, and in 1903, the
same year that Louisiana was purchased
from the French Com. Preble sailed with

set forth in another British periodical Of grea
reputation and merit, with whose interesting
remarks we shall conclude these comments CT
the present condition of the French army.
"The circumstances under which thu
French army is now being recognized .
says the Saturday Revieeo, of the 7th of Angus
fought to be taken into account. Thu
government is pledged to policy of peace
the country wishes for peace, the army itsel
knows that it is not for some time to come tx
expect new war; Thearmy costs more than five
hundred millions of francs, and this is large
sum for a country to pay which has been SUBJ
jected to a heavy burden of new taxation
The main question which the authorities had
| to settle was whether they should begin by
providing new Notifications and guns, or by
getting together large number of drilled
men. The choice was made in favor of forti-
fications and guns, and it is by no means clear
that it was not wise one.
"To have got together big army without
the weapons to arm them, or Notifications to
protect the country, might have been to TO-
ment the military spirit of the nation, and to
have offered an easy prey to the enemy when
war broke out. . France is not in the
least prepared for war, and as the Germans
are always supposed to know everything about
the French army, it is difficult to give the
Germans who invented or were affected by
the late panic credit for sincerity when they
professed to believe that France was hurrying
on the hour of a new contest.
"But the other side of the picture ought
to be kept in mind. The writer in Black
rood thinks that the new scheme of fortfica-
tons is most successful and creditable The
new rifles are said to be as good as the Ger
man rifles. If the French do not get hold of
a good field gun, it will certainly not be for
the want of experiments or funds. When the
time comes for attending seriously to an in
crease Of the numerical strength of the army,
the military authorities will be able to get
hold, under the existing laws, of as many
men as they can arm and pay for. The
material has been provided for them, the
men who will have to serve are sure to be
forthcoming. As to the officers, the writer
IN Biack,o0od himself states that the majority |
Of officers are fairly educated, filled with
zeal for the service, determined to be real
soldiers, and aware that to do their duty in |
hese days they must patiently learn how to |
10 it.
"This, surely, is a most satisfactory thing to
De true in country SO lately accustomed to
he type of officer who was in his glory in the
after days Of the second empire. With forti-
ications and guns and good officers, and
ystem of military territorial arrangement,
which is at least fairly promising, and an in
xhaustible supply Of men under law of
Universal obligation to serve, there seems no
eason why France should despair of having
n army that will do her credit, not immedi-
tely, not even soon-for to look to that
1ould be contrary to the whole policy of the
ountry and the government at time
hen different policy could be attempted

THE TWINS DEFUNCT.
A GEORGIA MoNsTRosITY CONSIGNED TO AN ALCo
HOLIC BATH.
From the Augusta Chronicle

A GEORGIA MoNsTRosITY CONSIGNED To AN ALCo
HOLIC BATH.
From the Augusta Chronice.l
The Chronicle and Sentinel of last Thursday
gave full description of lusus nature sur
passing even the celebrated Siamese twins. his
strange freak was in the shape of double child,
or more strictly speaking, two children joined
together. The monstrosity first saw the light on
Tuesday the 9th day of June last, and was the
offspring of colored parents, CrIttenden and
Sarah Jones, of Beech Island, South Carolina.
The two beings we're joined together by wide
band, which pulsated regularly, responsive to
the movements of the lungs. This pulsation led
TO the suggestion that one of the lungs OF the
monstrosity was located in the connecting limb.
Whether one set of vital organs served for both
beings is still an open question. One of the be-
lugs thus permanently linked together was
fully developed female. The other Of doubtful
sex, but WAS embryonic creature The body
and neck were similar to those Of the female
but the legs, arms and head were the mere rudi-
ments of thoss portions of the human form
divine.
The nose, eyes and mouth were wanting, and
only faint Indications OF these organs were dis
cernible. The existence of even small portion
of brain doubted. The ears were prominent,
and presented more the appear ance of those of
an animal than a human being. The female
alone nursed, the other depending upon its
sister for sustenance. The sense of pain was
evidently located in the developed child alone.
Pinch the rudimentary infant and the other
would cry; perform the same action on the girl,
and no sensibility would be manifested by its
J he fate OF the phenomenon was
like that of the majority Of monstrosites-an
early death.
At u o'clock yester Law the developed infant,
in whom alone seemed to be located the power OF
respiration, breathed its last. The twins were
dead. Several members of the faculty of the |
Medical College called at the house where the |
bodies were laid out, and examined the wonder |
full freak of nature.
A liberal offer was made to the father for the |
bodies as it was desired to obtain them for pres
ervation in the museum of the college The pa |
rents however, declined to sell the bodies. The |
father had them put up in alcohol and carried |
them to his home IN South Carolina.

The Negro and the Razor.

About IL o'clock Saturday morning difficulty
occurred on Julia, between Camp and Magazine
streets. The parties engaged were two roust.
abouts named Charles and Henry Williams.
1t appears that the men arrived on the steamer
R. I. Bryarly on Friday night. having both
worked on that boat.
Saturday morning Henry went to the barber
shop kept by VIM. Robinson at 1873 Julia street,
and accused Charlie of having stolen some
money.
High words ensued, when the proprietor
pushed the men out of his shop on the ban
quette, where they continued the quarret, when
Henry called Charles a whereupon
Charles raised his hand as if to strike Henry
who at that ins ant rushed into the shop, and
Selling razor attacked his antagonist and cut
him across the abdomen, just above the UNI
bilious. co
The wound is some five inches in length, and
quite deep, being clean, sharp cut. The man
WAS taken to Or. Cullen's Office where his wound
was washed and bandaged; but the doctor re-
fused to attend any further, as the man desired
Williams succeeded in making his escape, al
though pursued by Corporal Miller, OF the
First.
Officers Moran and Houlan, of the First, gave
lively chase to Henry Williams and after running
HIM up to the corner of second and Baronne
streets, succeeded in capturing HIM, when he
was carried to the Central Station and locked up.

Charles Willlsms alias Dan Green.
Henry Williams was interviewed in his cell and
told the following story: That he was drunk IN
the barber shop and was lying on the chairs
asleep, when Green took two dollars from his
pocket that he swoke and asked Green to return
It, but he refused, and struck him twice and then
took up the razor and attempted to cut him. He
Henry left the shop and Green followed him
up and struck HIM in the face He then went
INTO the shop and got the razor and cut Green
That Green told him he had it in for him for
long time, and that he Henry tried to avoid the
difficulty.

A TERRIBLE FALL.
A Man Has His Brains Dashed Out.

About - NJ. Saturday negro man named
Charles Winfield, aged some fifty.three years,
while engaged in repairing the back wall to house
No. Sc Dryades street, was taken with vertigo
and fell to the bricked yard beneath, striking
upon the right side of his head some two inches
over the eye, completely smashing the skull in.
From the appearance of the injury it is evident
that he fell upon some projection as there is a
hole about an inch deep in the head. Up to this
time there has been no official report at the sta
ton, and the man is now lying ON his face as he
fell. The Coroner would do well to see him and
allow the body to be removed to the residence of
his wife, on Eighth, near St. Denis street
On Sunday evening not long since man was
walking up and down in an agitated manner

He was Just about to make the irrevocable
plunge into the Seine when suddenly he per-
ceived woman onlv few feet from him rush
forward and throw herself into the water. He
jumped in after her and succeeded in rescuing
the would-be suicide. When Intercepted at the
station house he admitted that he had come to
the spot intending to drown himself. 1t is now
suggested that the two lives thus saved must be
designed for enc another.
