Railway Travelling Companions.

The Paris Figaro has raised curious
discussion upon the question OF the
proper conducts of persons in railway
carriage under the following conditions:
One person demands fresh air and wants
the windows open another cannot en-
dure the Withdrawing bronchitis, per-
haps-and asks to have the windows
closed. The partisans of fresh air are
generally belligerent, and say that they
will break the glass, paying for it at the
end of the journey, rather than not have
air. This means is occasionally en-
plosed, but lis one full of danger, to
say the least. One day, few years
ago, an aged gentleman was sitting In a
first class carriage when two young Off
GERS entered and began to smoke. The
old gentleman let down the window one
of the officers put it up. This opera
ton was repeated, when the gentleman
broke the glass with his elbow. The
two officers, who were on their WAY to
join their regimenG at Versailles, took
this as an insult, and cards were OK
changed. They took very different
view OF the matter when they read upon
the aged gentleman's card, marshal
| Mel, Minister of War" One never
knows exactly who his travelling com
| panions are, and circumspection is al
ways prudent, to say the least. We
have never yet seen a case where this
question was not arranged a l'0na5o6le
between the different travellers, but in
case of dispute we should say, on gen
eral principles that the person who
wants air should take corner seat front
ing the locomotive, leaving the other
person the seat opposite, where he is
protected in a measure from the winds
that he fears, from one, motive or snoth-
or. With a majority Of well-bred peo-
pie the difficulty is easily gotten over,
but there are some persons, commercial
travellers, and cockneys in general, who
demand fresh air in mid-winter through
pure bravado,. or through a pretentioua
desire to show that they are different
from other people, But one may safely
say that such disputes could occur but
rarely among people of rank and GOOD
/ breeding. 3&& 4fG3 40 5 ft

La, Fr0ncaSs gives some interesting
details Of the decapitation in the prison
of Munich of q highwaymaa named
Glaersgen and one Ruff, who had killed
one of the keepers of the prison where
he was confined for murderous assault
At 6:15 o. m. the executioner came out
to inspect the fatal apparatus. He is o
man of medium height, rather stout. OF
round, fat and rubicund visage, closely
shaver and with long, chestnut hair.
Just before z the "Bell of the Poor
Fishers = began to toll. The clerk read
the death sentence to the first culprit,
and after breaking a black ring between
his fingers flung the pieces at the Grim
malls feet, thus signifying that the Gull
prit's life should, soon be violently
broken. At o'clock the Police Magis-
trate, the Public Prosecutor and the
Clerk of the Crown took their places
among the legal witnesses of the exc
cution. At 7OS Glaersgen appeared,
his eyes covered with black bandage
that fell in front as far as the mouth.
His shoulders and neck were bare; they
we're horribly lean and .pallid, and
seemed as if they were shrinking away
from their doom. The. first execution
was speedily performed. M. de M1-
nich's assistants flung the victim for
ward, on the death bench and slid it
forward before his struggles had ceased;
| the executioner lifted his finger, the ak
fell and all was over. Ruff, however,
did not die SO, easily Though his arms
were bound, he threw, hinself back
violently, while his bloodless lips moved
rapidly. though they could deliver no
sound. It was, like one of those horrid
Nightmares where, with something i'm
minent staring him in, the face, the
dreamer can neither move nor speak.
''Hurry up ~ cried the executioner.
The assistants flung themselves upon
the criminal, and o few seconds later
came the thud OF the knife, which indi-
Gated that all in this world was over for
him. giii1 ION oh ,fsiroit

Spirituous LIQUORS in France.

It is not surprising to hear that the
duty on spirituous liquors in France has
yielded 81 900, 600 francs over the esti-
mate of 263, 326, 600 francs. A similar
increase may usually be found in our
own budgets, and it can never be cen
with comfort, for, however satisfactory
it may be to the Chancellor of the Elk
chequer, it tells melancholy tale of
self indulgence and vice. The growing
consumption of spirituous liquors is one
of the several signs that her people are
losing their old habits Of sobriety. The
drinking of absinth in her great cities
threatens to become as great curse as
the drinking of gin in our own. In
serious reports, the National Assembly
has attributed many of the excuses COM
mitted by the Communists to the fact
that during their defense of Paris, great
masses of people were habitually inToxi-
Gated. Most of the peasantry would
still be pattern of sobriety to our own
working people, but in parts even Of
agricultural France there is less temper
ance than there used to be. Some dis
tricts of prosperous Normandy would
have little to gain from comparison
with our own in the matter of sobriety.
Money is more easily earned in that rich
| province than In many other districts,
and the peasants have more time on their
hands than those of the vine growing
regions. London Times. "a

I THE Legislature of Oregon has passed

The law is very sweeping, and, if rigidly
enforced, will effectually close up every
gambling room in the State, and very
seriously interfere with the business of

with great care, and it is said will stand
the severest legal test. It is now in

Why the Girls should Study Hard.

At the dedication OF the Girls Normal
School on Monday evening Judge Peirce
told how once the wife Of man who
had been convicted of larceny as bailee,
and whom the Judge had determined to
sentence to eighteen months imprison-
ment, had, BY her eloquenee in private
Interview, induced him to make the term
5only four months and half. The Judge
was 80 Impressed with her lady7like
bearing and the force of her appeal that
he asked her where she had been edu-
Gated. She replied, SsIn the Girls High
School" . Thus" said Judge Pierce,
you see the, grand results Of ed YEcs
tion." A ripple, which .swelled to a roar
of merriment swept over the audience.

confusion, ''that the laugh is that young
women should be educated that they may
be able to get their husbands out OF
jail. Philadelphia Times.

was made among those engaged in conver-
sation on the stage at Assembly Hall Friday
night, Just previous to the opening OF the
meeting, that the newspapers had failed to
give due publicity to Colonel Holidays
appointment here. 1t was then quite early.
Subsequently the hall was hlied up py an
audience never surpassed for intelligence,
character, and position of the people COM
posing it, and the meeting was success.
But how utterly devoid OF truth was the
remark, so far at least as the Dispatch Is
concerned, may be proved by reference to
our files. Time and place Of meeting were
announced in conspicuous paragraphs pub
lished on the 18th, Oath, 26th, 26th, and
9th instant. On the 9th night of speak
ing) there were two prominent notices. All
of these notices were in the local columns
except the first one, which was at the foot
Of the editorial column. In addition, there
were numerous references to Colonel Holll-
day in our letters from different sections OF
the State.
