Our New Collector.

The appointment of Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill,
as Collector of this port is an admirable one
and reflects credit alike on our represen-
tative to Congress and the President. Their
action will give very general satisfaction to
the people of this district and of the whole
state. Mr.. Morril's character as de veloped
by long and useful public life is so high and
his reputation so unspotted as to attract the
respect and esteem of everybody; while he
has filled such high and responsible positions
Congressman, Governor, Senator and Sec
retary of the Treasury as to dignity the
new office to which he comes. Mr.. Morrill,
may be confidently expected to administer
the collectorshp with the same attention to
the public interests and the same courtesy
and consideration for those who do business
with him which he has shown in the varied
and important trusts which have been before
committed to him. An excellent thing has
been done by the new administration, which
merits hearty approval and con generalization.

THE "railway battalions'' of the German
Army have of late been occupied in conduct
ing series of experiments and Investigations
with view to determining both how far it
may be practicable and advantageous to en-
poy tramways for military purposes, and also
what arrangement and provisions of stores it
may be desirable to make in order to facili.
tate the laying down and working of this
means of communication in time of war and
during active service in the field. Although
tramways have not hitherto been largely en-
ployed in actual warfare, it is easy to con-
ceive a variety OF circumstances which might
occur during the course of campaign when
they might be used with advantage.

AlphOnse Daudet.
A sketch of the Famous French Novelist
and His Works.

1t is in the books of Daudet, and not in the
Dictionnaire des Contemporaries that we must
look for his biography. Alphonse Daudet in
reality forms one of that very small group of
honest writers, for whom a work only exists in
proportion to its truth He is one of those who
begin by studying life and human nature be-
fore undertaking to write of them. Consequent
ly we find in his novels not only truthful pic
lures of life, but also profound knowledge Of
himself. Instead. therefore, of laying before
our readers few dry facts culled from sundry
biographical notices, it seems to us advisable to
mass together the photographed hints we
find scattered through his books.
81 was born in 1910, on the thirteenth of May,
in town in Languedoc where one finds
great deal of sunshine, not little dust, Car
melite convent and two or three Roman ruins
II is thus that lie Petit Chose opens, and it is IA
this exquisite romance that Alphonse Daudet
gives us the details of his childhood. We have
but to read the first fifteen chapters of this
work to learn much of the authors early life,
and we supply certain Intentional deficiencies
with ease. For example, Nismes in Lsngue-
doc, is the sunny town designated. There
Dsudets father was silk manufacturer His
factory stood but a stones throw from the
pretty home set in the midst of trees and gar
den, where Alphonse was born. Sundry fnan-
cial disasters, two fires, a lawsuit, and finally
the revolution of 1913, effected the ruin Of
Daudet the elder, and the impoverished family
took refuge in the upper floor OF dismal
house in Lyons. In spite of these drawbacks,
Daudet's education was at sixteen sufficiently
advanced for him to seek and obtain position
as teacher in a school. A little later be was
summoned by his elder brother to Paris-a
summons only too gladly obeyed by the young
student. lie Petit Chose goes on to describe
the busy lite now led by DAudet-his incessant
toll and frequent hunger, tor he often went
supperless and without light, to his couch.
Daudets first publication was volume OF
poems, which made its mark aud penetrated to
the Tuilerles. The Empress saw it, admired It,
aud herself read some of the verses to the Duo
de Moray. The Due wrote u most charming
letter to the young poet, VINO Immediately PIE
sented himself TO txpress his thanks 10 pc son.
The Due was SO pleased with the youth thai he
at once Offered Daudet position as his private
secretary. Alphonse had been brought up ln
the political faith OF strict L4gitInlst istnef,
and at first shrank from accepting a positlon
about the person Of nobleman SO high IN the

1T is well known that many of the French
Canadians who come 10 the Eastern States
marry American women and settle down,
Anglicize their names, Leblanc becoming
White, st. Pierre Peters, and so on. One of
them has taken advantage of this fact during
the heated canvass going on for the Burling-
ton Post Office to sign the petitions for the
appointment OF both candidates, one with his
French name, the other with his English one,
to the immense pleasure of all parties till the
deception was discovered.

1t is now we'll known what the real
difficulties of the situation are for Rus
STA. She can only escape moro threat
ening consequences Of her undertak
ing by promptly and theoretically
limiting it. 1t is evident that the day
Servia takes part in the war, or Rou
manian troops cross the Danube, Aus
tria will occupy one or both principali-
ties. Then the real Eastern question
will commence. Certainly Russia is
doing her utmost to keep Servia back.
The difficulty raised as TO the com.
mand Of the ROumanian troops is only
another effort TO prevent the Rouma-
man army from crossing the Danube,
but Russia has no longer much iniu.
ence over the Servians, whom she
abandoned and Inundated. An early
explosion in Servia may therefore be
feared. The Gar sees this, and it Is
said that II he joins the army it will be
to negotiate rapidly with the Sultan
and finish the war before it developes
these threatened com IMPLICATIONS. The
spirit of the Russian people, the influ-
ence Ut the Slav committees, and ne
enthusiasm OF the army are feared. 1t
Ia asked whether the Emperor's pres
ence will suffice to encounter this three
fold element. Some people think the
cessiOn of Batoum might satisfy every
one without alarming anybody, but
this opinion 10 not very generally held
in Russia.
The arrival Of the Emperor amid

ty. 1t Is hoped he will act with
prcmptitude, which will prevent the
complication dreaded, and that az soon

inmate war with Europe will be ready
