A Boston Boy ON F1sH.-Fish lives
in the Atlantic Ocean. Buzzard's Bay,
and some in Charles River. When they
are small they are Goldfish, herrin, and
sich +; when they grow up they are
whales. Whales are very useful ; they
sometimes swaller whole ship and all
the crew. The fat of whales is billed
out and made inter kerosene oil for gas
light. Their bones is made inter whale
bone for ivory pianner keys and domi-
MES, also for horn handles for jack
knives. I wish q whale would swaller
my school and all the teachers. Fish is

too many bones to pick out when you

GREAT REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN
FRANCE.

The Republicans Of France have
achieved full, calm, grand and perfect
victory They possess that sunny land
as no power save that OF mon ,rchy or
an Empire ever held it before. 1t would
seem that the people have spoken with
| deliberation and torcefulness never be-
fore shown in France. The result Is as
gratifying as it is astonishing. Old
doubts of the capacity Of the French
people to govern themselves are begin
ming to fade away The situation there
is briefly intinated in the following:
Paris, February 22.-It is not yet
known to whom President MacMakon
will sntruss the formation OF a new Cab
met The R.pg5iiqas Franchise, Gam
| betta's oISan, says that the buffet Cabl-
net will have to render an account 70 the
country Of its administration OF pubic
| Affairs, and he declares any revision OF
the Constitution, except in Republican
sense, is now impossible. Republican
| papers comment on the calm and tran
! quil manner in which the country asso-
Grated Itself with Republican ideas Lbs
LeSoir. announces that the President
has accepted II. Bullets resignation.
1t ID stated that President mGcMahon
has called ON NJ. Dutaure to take charge
of the Ministry OF the Interior until the
meeting O. the Chambers. VI. Buffet
resigned on the ground tina: he was no
longer possessed O. sufficient authority
to condnc, the administration.
The lust of the election returns are
now in. The members elect are classl-
fed as follows: Republicans, 1913; Con-
sentative Republicans, 10; Bonapartists.
"a; Legitimists, &c; Conservatives, "a :;
Constitutionalists. 20; Radicals, II. Sec
ond ballots in sixteen districts are neces-
sary. II is expected that when all the
elections are decided the Republicans
will have 9S3 seats, and Of these II IS es-
tiuated the Left will hold 156, and the
Extreme Left SIS, SO these two sections
united will have IL working majority ID
the Chamber wi.hou: the assistance OF
the Left Center.
London, February GA dispatch
from Berlin says: The news Of the re-
salt of the French elections is well re-
eeived here except by the Reactionists
and Ul.ramontane.. The Nord D.Atsca
Z.itung expresses the opinion that the
French Republicans by their moderate
and reasonable policy have deserved the
confidence Of Europe and will receive
the thanks Of the civilized world for this
successful conflict with Vaticanism.
Established Republicanism in France
means hopeless attitude Of the Papacy
there. The power Of the priesthood is
broken. Hence the dissatisfaction OF
the Ul.ramontanes in Germany. Strange
a. i. may seem. then, Imperialism IN
Germany sympathizes with Republican
ism in France. Politics makes strange
b>dfellows.

MORE WRASGLING OVER A CoRPsE.
-Catskill. February -. - There Is
great excitement here from dispute
between a Catholic clergyman and
portion of his congregation about the
interment in Catholic cemetery OF
the body of Joseph Weltz. hanged
nearly two years ago for the murder
of Harmon Holcher, the Albany scis-
sors grinder. The body was origi-
nallv buried on Weltz's farm and now
the clergyman has given PERMISSION
to inter it in the cemetery and the
people resist. The Bishop has beo'-
consulted.
It is strangely constituted religion
which denies the rights OF sepulture
and the rite of dissolution to good
citizen who never did any wrong act,
like the Montreal printer Guibord
and fights the public wish III order to
do post mortem honors to convicted
and exeeuted murderer. There are
outrages committed in the name oi
the church as we'll as crimes i'll the
name of Liberty.

There was startling scene at the burial of Richard Burns in Greenwich last week Monday. The body had been brought from Norwalk, and the box was about to be lowered into the grave when Burns daugh- ter began to scream that her father had been murdered. Several hysterical women joined her in the urseemly uproar. The box was lowered and partly filled. There are rumors that Burns was found dead on the floor of his house with a hole in his head, and that he had lain several days be- fore he was discovered. There arc numer- ous rumors concerning the affair, one being that he had sold Lis property and lately re- ceiyed $750 in cash. The grave remains half filled, and post mortem examination is talked of.
