The recovery of France from the
disasters of 1870 has been even more
rapid than she herself could have for
seen. She is no longer strained for
money; the enormous indemnity forced
from her by Germany was paid before
it was due; her trade has been active
aud profitable, her government has
been economical; she has been for the
most part free from political turmoil
and excitement; and her army has
been so far restored to its old strength
that 1t is doubted whether she might
not even now cope successfully with
her inveterate foe.

Some time ago there died in St.
Louis deputy clerk of the circuit
court named Charles Levy. Previous
to his death he had jocularly remarked
that no one must take his desk after he
was gone. He died, and his place was
filled. One morning there was found
upon his desk fee bill, freshly writ
ten, and in the familiar handwriting of
the dead man. The local spiritualists
have been Intervening the ghost of
Levy, and find out all about the mat
ter. He says that he did write that
fee bill, and that he still keeps an eye
on his old companions in the office.

ern people behaved themselves and
kept their pledges it would be the
first time they ever did so, and that
they should have due credit for their
good from me. But 1 thought he
ought to have the recent murders in

and he was at once reminded by the
President that Parker was not to be
touched for the present. I told the
