FRENCH INDUSTRY.

France seems to possess more in
trinsic vitality than any other country
Her recuperative energy is SIMPLY
wonderful. Up to the day of the
Franco -Prussian war, the population,
if not declining, Was at least not pro-
crossing; but statisticians have lately
found that the effect of that war has
been to augment the proportion of
births. DR.. Benjamin Bush noticed
the same thing in connection with our
Revolutionary war-that it not only
made the marriage-bed more fertile,
but diminished the proportion of ac-
cidents from childbirth. France has
gone forward more rapidly in indus
trial lines of advancement than any
other European country. A century
ago bankruptcy ard starvation seemed
to be the inevitable destiny of the
country. 1t was worse off than Tur-
key is to-day. Wheat-bread was un-
known to the peasantry, and rich and
fortile Normandy was a desert filled
with crinGing beggars, In 1888, Duke
Charles, ot Wurtemburg, wrote:
France i at the last gasp, and the
"most dr. tic remedies seem entirely
"in vail The King is more than
weak, Queen addicted 10 every
"kind OF dissipation, ,and justly odious
"to the people; commerce, agriculture,
"credit, all are PROSTATE" In 1913,
bankruptcy was confessed, in 1195,
she was at war with all the world; in
1902, had triumphed everywhere and
25,OU0 holders OF government bonds
In 1880 these renters were 200, ,0V0; in
1860, 600, 900 and to day the Govern
ment has four millions of creditors
among its own citizens. From 1915 to
1861 The cash value Of the soil and
agricultural improvements rose from
30, ,544, 900, 900 francs to So, ,744, 600, ,00u
or 116 per cent, and the present es.
innate is 10000, 600, 900 francs. In
1915 France had nearly 33, 900, ,0O0 acres
in cereals, increasing this area annual
ly over 100000. In 1855 the wheat
product was 112 900, coo bushels, ano
in 1872, 232 ,295 $40 bushels, or more
than double. France raises very nearly
as much bread and meat as her people
consume; she pays for much more
than she buys with her experts O.
cheese, eggs, poultry, cider, fruit, &c.
The annual value of the wine crop il
about $500, ,00e, 600, and the annual ex
cess of exports over imports amounts
to three. fourths of this. France is {
vast hive ofnicely balanced industries
and puts a fine skilled labor value
upon all that she imports-importing
as she chiefly does, raw material foI
manufacture and re-exportation. Sht
buys coal and iron and some raw su.
gar and raw cotton and silk, but he
silk exports are nearly as valuable a
the cotton exports of Great Britain
Since 1860, when France secured Free
Trade, her agriculture, commerce ant
manufactures have been immensl,
developed, and of late years France
has been increasing the quantity ant
line OF her exports by sending goods
in consignment to all the markets o
the world. No country in the world
perhaps, produces SO many dilferen
things for supplying the various want
of its own people as France; and ther'
is no civilized nation that lives Sc
regularly, steadily and comfortable
within its own means and lays by 81
much surplus income every year.-N

Playing with nIatches-A Child Burn
ed to Death.

Between s and 9 o'clock yesterday
morning fire was discovered in the
tenement house 81 Suffolk street, New
York. The firemen found the door of
the burning apartments locked. They
forced it, and found bed on fire in
the family's small back room. BY the
side of the bed, on the floor, was a
child burned almost to a crisp. In the
front loom an infant slept in it's cradle
while the firemen were still MAX
ing sure that no sparks of fire remained
woman rushed into the room, and
and claimed the children as her own.
1t was some time before she could con-
troll herself sufficiently to tell her story.
The family is German, Greenwald by
name. The husband, who is employ
ed as tailor in Ridge street, went as
usual to his work yesterday morning.
Soon afterward his wife went out to
buy groceries for dinner, and locking
the door, she left her children playing
together in the cradel in the front room
She was away less than hour. AS the
elder child had habitually played with
! matches that he had taken from the
mantlepiece, she had put them on a
high shelf, beyond his reach. 1t is
probable that he did get them, not
| withstanding her precaution.

The Idaho World tells story that seems
almostlincredible. One evening two years
age party of ten OF the prominent citi-
zens Of Idaho gave reception at Boise
City. Now not one is living, all having
met with VIOLENT deaths. One was killed
by an insane man another preferred
laudanum to political disgrace, another
blew his brains out with pistol ball, one
was murdered and his body concealed
among the rocks, one fell down mine
shaft 600 feet and was dashed to peices,
another was assassinated while walking
along the street, one fell out of a wagon
and received fatal injuries about the
head, one was killed in Washington
Territory and the last of the ten was
scalped by Indians in Eastern Idaho.

How A SEMINARY Is CRIPPLED

How A SEMINARY Is CRIPPLED
The bankruptcy of Daniel Drew, it is
said, is serious drawback to the Drew
Theological Seminary. Uncle Daniel
gave his note for $3.50, 900 to endow
the seminary, and now all the semi-
nary has to show for it is the note,
which is worth nothing, as it was the
express understanding that the princi>
pal was not to be paid, and that Mr..
Drew was to pay the interest only.
Before Uncle D4niel became bankr Ipt
tie interest, which amounted to $l7,-
600 annually, was paid regularly, but
now the payment of even the interest
is stopped.

Especial Dispatch to the World.l
WASHINGTON, March GA new
scheme of plunder, which the names
of President Grant, ex Secretary Borie
Fred Grant, and other prominent
Administration persons are mentioned
has come to light. The statements of
the case, as vouched for by John G.
Fitman, prominent lawyer in Color
ado Territory, in letter written to
Mr. Clymer, Chairman of the commit
tee on Expenditures in the War De-
partment, are these: 1t has been the
common subject of conversation for a
long time in the southern part Of
Colorado that land frauds, involving
thousands of acres of the public do
main in Los Animas County, have
been committed by the parties who
control the Denver aud Rio Grande
Railway Company. These frauds have
been committed with the connivance
and collusion of Government land
officers at Pueblo, COL, in this city
Immense tracts of land have been en-
tered without the pretense of compli-
ance with the pre- emption laws by
perjury and subornation. William l..
jackson, Treasurer of the Denver and
Rio Grande Railway company, holds
the title to extensive areas of public
land in Los Animos county as trustee
for the company, upon which as al
legged, no settlement or improvement
was ever made in compliance with
law. Many honest settlers have been
defrauded of their improvements
Many tracts of lands worth from $40
to $40 per acre, have been entered as
agricultural land and the Government
defrauded of the difference.
The Denver and Rio Grande Railway
Company ID a corporation composed
chiefly of wealthy Philadelphia and Lon
don capitalists, who, according to au-
thentic statements, form one of the most
disagreeable monopolies in the West
The people of Colorado complain bitterly
of the way in which the road is managed
| In the interests of its owners and to the
manifest detriment of the parties who
should be benefited by it. 1t is charged
that President Grant has invested money
either directly or indirectly in these land
speculations, and it is a matter of no
secresy that the President is stock
holder in the Denver and Rio Grande
Railway. The Commissioner of the Cen
| eral Land Office, has affidavits, reports,
&c, on file in relation to this matter.

ALSO INVOLVED:

Investigations are still the order of the
day In Washington, and the develop
ments promise to be Of continued in
terest. The latest is that Postmaster
General JEWELL and Postmaster Ed
MoNDs, of Washington, are each in
trouble, as learn from special to the
Baltimore Ga=ette of yesterday, that the
former appeared on the 9th inst before
the Committee on Postoffices and Post
masters to tell what he knew about straw
bids in the department. Says the dis
patch. He estimated the number let at
the recent letting for the next four years
at about 1,o0c, and was perplexed as to
what he should do. The committee de-
cllned to accept this air of injured inno-
cence, and told Mr.. JEWELL that they
would have to consider the subject, and
as to what amendments should be recon-
mended to protect the Government.
Tonight one OF the contractors under
the new letting, testified that he
was told by the Second Assistant
Postmaster General not to bid
in his own name as it would create scan
dial, the contractor having been implica-
ted in the irregularities last spring. Now
Mr.. TYNER was in the attitude of trying
to throw out his bids and the evidence of
Mr.. JEWELL and Mr.. TYNER unwittingly
put postmaster EDMoNDs, of Wash
ington, and secretary of the Republican
Congressional Committee, in the un-
pleasant predicament Of signing certi-
fcates that the bonds of contractors, now

three from CharleStOwn- without getting a
hit better. He was Obliged to lie wherever
he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up
all hopes of his living we were told TO try
Vegetine, the great blood remedy and he
had taken ii but ashOrt time before we
bad that we had To cnange the cloths four
or tive times day. Still, he was getting
better: for he could move his limbs and
help himself u little. lie was soon able to
sit up in ted, and, by constant use of Nege-
tine. it has cured him. He has q lame leg,
which he will probably have for life: but
we all honestly believe If we had used
Eegetine before we had bothered with
those doctors. il would have saved the use
