The Price of Land in Paris.

The Reforme Economique gives
some interesting statistics on the
price Of land in Paris. On an ave
rage of sales, it is found that the
capital of France is worth II, 706,-
100000 francs, or upward of $780,
900, 900. This does not include the
value Of the buildings. The high

1900 francs; in the Fourth ArrOn-
dissement, Rue st. Antoine, 465
francs; in the Ninth Arrrondisse-
ment, Boulevard Haussman, 975
francs; in the Fifteenth Arrondisse-
ment, Rue Malakoff, 1872 francs.
The lowest price paid in the same
districts for the square metre
amount-for the Second, to GOO
francs; for the Fourth, 130 francs;
for the Ninth, 43 francs; for the
Fifteenth, Z francs. The cheapest
recorded price of the square metre
in recent times is l franc (Twenti-
eth ACCOMPLISHMENT, Passage des
Envierges). The highest price paid
is 1900 francs. The metre equals
1860 English yards.

The third, and probably much the
largest class of Independent voters
are not venal or purchasable, but,
as before limited, their knowledge of
details in public affairs, in which
they take much less interest than
average partisans do, is necessarily
limited, and their conclusions, at
the supreme moment when they
must decide how to vote, are often
erroneous on general principles,
and their reasons, often specious
and inconsistent, fail to command
respect. The partisan voter often
casts his ballot for twenty years in
succession knowing he will be
beaten-the Independent voter on
the contrary generally thinks the
weight of his vote is so great that
it will bring success to whoever
gets it!

The Independent voter.

llL5DuIB OSI, oLn,l
In the many moments of supreme
anxiety which occurs in the prog.
ress Of an important canvass, the
Independent voter rises into view
and often assumes undue import
ance. For ourselves, we are free
to say we do not admire the indie.
pendent yoter-we do not take
much stock in him, nor give him
much of our time and attention
he is too often a censurer, over
flowing with arrogance and as
sumption, which will make him
distasteful to people who have de-
cision enough to arrive at ultimate
conclusions about political parties,
measures and principles. The in
dependent voter, in his soaring
conceit, ignores Or forgets the fact
that in every free country where
parties are allowed to gather and to
grow, nine-tenths of those who act

their turn. He plumes himself on

naming " "tonth.P And while the
average independent voter is
not regarded as inevitably
morally better or wiser than
the average partisan-while he
is not more handsome, more brave,
more learned, nor more virtuous, he
tacitly sets himself up as better
than the decided party man. We
would differ with our independent
friend in this and urge that while he
claims for himself a higher place
than the ''mere partisan" "a phrase
he often contemptuously employs),
he is, on the contrary, o full degree
below that partisan. For we are
forced to conclude that if he (the
independently has not been able to
arrive at definite, satisfying conolu-
sions as to what are the true prin-
ciples Of government, and has not
been able to determine which of
the parties that must inevitably
rule, comes nearest to his conscien-
tious views. he il not so far ad-
vanced as the average decided par

The captain of the schooner, the
Laura Lind, had noticed the wreck
of the Isabella, and supposing that
some of the crew might have sur
vived the disaster, sailed to the reef.
Of the nineteen Chinese four were
living, and the account of their
miserable existence during six
months was something heartrend-
ing. Without water or provisions,
they had endured the same priva-
tons as the crew, and had witness
ed three Of their number perish
with hunger and thirst. Several
times, they said, they had resolutely
stretched themselves upon the
ground patiently awaiting the
death that would put an end
to their horrible situation. But
at the sight of an easily-caught
sea-bird or threatening weather
which promised them water, the
feeling Of self-preservation got the
better of them and they began to
hope again. Thanks to the posi-
tion of the reefs, they were better
enabled to see the passing ships
than the crew upon Round Island,
but their deceptions were no greater.
At last they despaired of ever see
ing their country and beheld them
selves condemnedl to die on a surf
beaten rock, in sight of land, when
on the I'd Of January, they saw the
schooner mentioned above steering
toward them. They Immediately
gave distress signals, which were
answered, and upon the same day
they were welcomed by Captain
Lind, whom they never tire of
praiSing. New clothes, abundant
and choice food - nothing was
spared to restore them from their
past sufferlngs. More generous
than the crew had been, they in
formed the captain that there might
still be some survivors of the ships
company upon the island in sight.
Happy in being able to save these
other unfortunates, Captain Lind
went to the island and rescued four
Englishmen, whose appearance was
ANYTHING but promising.
For some time every vestige Of
clothing had disappeared. They
were completely naked and much
sunburnt. They were rescued on
the 9th of January, six months af-
ter the wreck. The captain treated
them with the same kindness he
bad treated the Chinese. They Get
sail for Noumes, which they reached
on the 18th of April.
1t is probable that the captain of
the Isabella, with the second mate
and some Of the crew, reached an
Australian port. 1t is impossible
to explain how he could have been
so ignorant of the laws of human
ity as not to Immediately have
had measures taken to save the
remnant of his crew. It is true
that it is also difiult to understand
how a whole crew could coolly
abandon to almost sure death the
nineteen Chinese passengers of the
Isabella.

overland from Shanghai. The Man
wyne inquiry expedition has done
its work, and is now on shipboard
on its way back to China to report
what it has seen, done and heard.
No doubt to Messrs. Grosvenor.
Baker and Davenport, it was, with
all its inevitable hardships, on the
whole a pleasant and wonderful
trip. They must have seen much
that no European, except, perhaps,
a French missionary or two, ever
saw before. They probably heard
good deal they did not believe,
and they doubtless did their best to
carry out their instructions. But
so far as unraveling the mystery of
poor Margary's murder, or securing
the punishment Of those response
BILE for that outrage, their journey
has been all but in vain. From
Hankow they did the journey
mostly on foot. They describe this
part Of their march as difficult and
uninteresting. The old roads, still
showing traces of former efficiency,
have all fallen into disrepair, and
in many places were worse than no
roads. The Province of Yunnan.

age internecine wars of which it has
been the scene for twenty years, is
a great desert, almost depOpulated.
and the people who remain are
miserably poor and without resour-
ces. On the whole, the Chinese
officials were civil to them, and were
not more than ordinarily obstruc-
tive in the matter of ceremonial
observances. At Yunanfoo and
Momein they were assured that Mr..
Margary had been cordially received
and assisted; that he had been con-
Quoted to the frontier, and that the
officials had been careful to assure
themselves Of his arrival at Bhamo:
that after this they had heard that
he had attempted to return, and
had been murdered by some saw
ages before he reached Chinese ter
ritory. At Momien they had a col
lection Of wretched hillmen, whom
the Chinese had caught and were
generously willing to string up, de-
capitate, disembowel, or otherwise
render uncomfortable in expiation
of Mr.. Margqry's death. However,
Mr.. Grosyenor would have none Of
these seductive offers. He pressed
on TO ManWyne, ana there he heard
the same story over again from the
Chinese.
Meanwhile, Colonel Jebb and his
party Consisting of two hundred
Europeans of the 9th regiment
and one hundred Sepoys of the
Madras Infantry, arrived on the
frontier, and joined the mission at
ManWyne, AS the escort ap-
preached the latter yillage-for it
is nothing more-some of the Bur-
mese of the neighborhood, who ac-
companied them, said: ''There is
the hot spring that Margary went
out to see, and there is the tree un-
der which they killed him, and on
that other tree they hung up his
head" This, miles within the
Chinese territory, and just outside
Manwyne.
