THE scheme of illuminating our coasts
is extremely simple, and it was adopted
from the French in the early days of the
Lighthouse Board, It consists las gen
eral rule, to whichthere are some excep-
tions), in placing the larger kinds or or
ders of lights with the mostpowerful op-
teal apparatus, which illumine areas
with radius of about twenty miles, on
a general average of about forty miles
apart, so that the illuminated areas shall
touch, cross. or slightly overlap each
other, to the end that no vessel coming
upon the coast can fail in clear weather
to see at least one light, and as the lights
are varied in appearance, by making
them fixed, revolving, flashing and col
ored, reference to the published list of
lighthouses Shows the position of the

Edmond About.

Everybody has heard of Edmond
About, VINO is an admirable satirist and
novelist, and rather a mediocre journal
ist. He neglects, like so many OF us. the
work he is adapted TO, and undertakes
that which is foreign to him. He has a
feyerish ambition TO shine on the press,
and while he is vainly trying to, he
might be composing new Toilas and
Greces Contemporaries. His novels
got him in famej fortune, and rich
wife besides, VINO was Mademoiseile- de

THE Pacific Coast papers have been
busy in their conjectures as to the mis-
sion that took General Sheridan to that
part of the country. The conclusion is
that, on account of the rumors Of Indian
troubles in Oregon and the prospects ol
q general Indian war very soon. Gen.
eral Sheridan was sent out to view the
situation. This general outbreak, which
is looked for early next spring, the
authorities think will have its center
about the Black Hills country. Mean.
while, military stations are being estab-
lished so as to encircle the Indian coun-
try, so that the army will be able to
crush out war as soon as it comes
upon us, with the greatest possible facil'
ity. General Sheridan has been giving
his personal attention to this important
work, and it is this that has taken him
all over the Northwestern country and
to the Pacific Coast.

A Good Word for Tohaoce.

The late Mr.. Trask, who was perhaps
a more yenomous enemy of tobacco
than King James himself, used to re-
joice in showing that the fragrant Indian
weed was noxious to all sorts of life, not
only that of plants, but OF pigs and ver-
min, and that it had not a single re-
deeming quality. But some one who
wishes TO give even The devil his due de-
clares that his abused vegetable will
cure the gout, and the following is his
receipt for the purpose:
Let the sick man take every evening
during q week footbath prepared with
the infusion Of thirty grammes Of snuff;
then, after having dried his feet, he
must expose them during ten minutes to
the smoke Of tobacco leaves, which are
burned upon hot Goals; then let the feet
be covered with warmed woolen stock.
ings, in which tobacco smoke has been
likewise introduced.
Not being favored with the gout, we
can not vouch for the accuracy Of this
remedy, but presume that all deyotees
of tobacco will take it ON faith, at least,
unless they should destroy the illusion
by putting the prescription to the test ol
practice.-Phil.R Record.

French Dramatic Authors Compared.

In the character OF both playwright
and novelist, Octave Feuillet is one oil
the mosL complete authors OF his time.
There Is but one other who possesses the
double gift to the same degree Of excel
lence-AleXandre Dumas.
An effort is made in the annexed table
to place contemporary French play
wrights in relative order of merit. To
do this absolutely Is next to impossible,
and the following is submitted as ap-
proximatlve, being simply my individual
opinion:
FIRST CLASS.
!. Alexandra Dumas.
2. Emile Augler and Jules Sandeau.
3. Victorien Sardou.
4. Octave Feuillet.
SECOND CLASS.
l. Theodore Barriere.
2. MeIlhac and Halevy.
8. Adolpae dEnnery.
4. - Pailleron.
THIRD CLASS.
Goudinet. Lablche, Clairyille, Siraudin, Paul
Feval, Cadol. Najac. Nus, Davyl, and many
others.

France are not embraced in this list,

played within the last fifteen years with
unyarying success, latterly in the Thea
ter Francois, and showsoa vitality that
promises lite for many years to come.
Emile Augiers name is not as well
known as some names which are placed
after it, because the work of its owner
has not been SO much for the masses as
the public of the Francois. 1t Is hardly
necessary to add that were this list
made for novelists Octave Feuillet's
name would occupy a higher place.

This lady, the greatest of all living
dramatic singers, is Of German birth.
Her proper name is Tietjens, but for
some years in Europe the name has been
Itaiianized, both in spelling and pronun-
citation. She first appeared about twen-
ty years ago in Germany and Italy, but
her great reputation was not established
until she appeared at her Majesty's
Opera in London, as Valentine in the
Huguenots, In April, 1855, and Poor

stage did debutante at once establish
such firm hold upon the public. She

an all-wise Creator that failed to provide
for the human family in the beginning a
covering OF feathers, bristles, scales,
quills, shells, anything in fact that
would have prevented in all after time
the tormenting of half mankind to pro-
duce covering for human nakedness,
that mans ingenuity during 6,000 years
Of acknowledged creation has Tailed to
make as beautiful as the lilies of the
