There was no good and sufficient reason

HOW VALENTINES ARE MADE.

Modern valentines, aside from the val
liable presents contained in them, are very
pretty things, and they are growing pref
tier every year, since large business houses
spare neither skill nor money in getting
them up. The most interesting thing about
them to : grown-ups'' is the way they are
made; and perhaps even you youngsters
who watch eagerly for the postman $ sink
ing beneath the load of embarrisments not
his own" would like to know how satin and
lace and flowers and other dainty things
grow into a valentine.
It is nc fairy's handiwork. 1t went
through the hands Of ~grim-looking work
men and dowdy-looking girls; it made IA
mlliar acquaintance with sand paper and
glue pots, and steel stamps and inky press
es and paintbrilshes, andall sorts of unpleas-
ant things before it reached your hands.
TO be sure a dreamy artist may have de-
signed it, but a photographer with inky fin
gers printed the picture on it a die cutter
with sleeves rolled up made a pattern in
steel of the lace, work on the edge; and q
dingy looking pressnan with q paper hat
on stamped the pattern around the picture.
Another hard-handed workman rubbed the
back oftlle stamped lace with sand paper
till it came in holes and looked like lace.
and not merely like stamped paper, and d
row of girls at a common long table-talk-
ing about their own narrow lives, the hard
times, and so ~forth-puton the colors with
stencils, gummed onthe hearts and cupids
and and flowers and mirrors and doors and
curtains, and stuck in the sachet powder,
and tied up the bows, and seWed on the
tringes, and tucked ID the handkerchief or
other Gift, and otherwise finished the thing
exactly like the pattern before them.
You see the sentiment about q valentine
doesn't begin yet. no all these wolhmen
it is merely their daily duty, and to them
means only bread and butter and a home.
It is not until Tom, Dick or Harry takes it
from the stationery and writes your name
on it that it acquires, in some mysterious
way, the sentiment that makes it such Il
nice thing to get.
The hideous abomination called a "comic
valentine" which is merely a cruel or low
minded insult to the receiver, is beneath the
notice ofany gentleman, whether he be five
or fifty years old, and l am sure no boy
cares to know just how it is made.-Good
Words.

The French Ministry Abroad.

Berlin, May 25.-The Tagblatt says
Due De Cazes, the French minister of
foreign affairs, has sent the French
ambassador at Berlin, st. Petersburg
and London, identical dispatches, no.
tifying them of the recent change of
ministry, and pointing out that it in
nowise affects the foreign policy of
France. RegardingtheE Eastern question,
France will maintain neutrality some
what more extended. A dispatch was ad-
dressed to the ambassador at Rome
This touched upon the religious ques-
tion and gave reasoning explanations.
The dispatch to the ambassador at
Madrid was friendly regarding the
Carlists.

The La,es, French Sensation.

London, May 25.-A Times Berlin
dispatch says that the Ministerial Post
contends that the conspiracy which up-
set the French Cabinet is principally
directed against Germany. The French
armament having been carried to the
highest pitch, the mask is thrown aside
and an attempt is made to profit by the
latest European complication for gain
ing allies. What the monarchial con-
spirator Immediately aims at is the
restoration of Papacy and through it
the humiliation of Germany. The
Times correspondent points out the
Post as the same paper that, two years
ago, published the notorious sensation
al articles on the imminence of war.

REPORT.
WASHINGTON.
New Party Movement.

Washington, May 25.-According to
previous arrangement, a secret meeting
was held in Washington last night, for
the purpose of organizing a national
party in the interest of Senator Blaine.
About $50 persons, from different
states, were present. Those from the
North expressed themselves strongly
against the course of the President and
his cabinet, alleging that they retained
in office men who ale opposed to the
principles of the Republican party, to
the exclusion of its tried and true ad-
herents. The representatives from the
South declared that the President had
discarded the party which elected him,
and had given office to enemies of the
party. Resolutions We're adopted Or
ganiZing the meeting into Il national
joint body. Permanent officers were
elected, with power to institute branch
es throughout the country, with head
quarters Mt Washington.

Peace Hovers Over Abyssin,a.

London, May 25.-A letter to the
Times from Alexandria, Egypt, dated
May Sd, say s that peace with Abyssinia
had not yet been concluded. Gordon
Pasha had opened negotiations which
seemed to he progressing most favor
ably, when King John discovered n
conspiracy in his camp, which he at
tributed to Egyptian agency. He i'm
mediately arrested Gordon Pasha's en-
voys and two sons of the Egyptian
sheik of leila, and cut an arm and Il
leg off of two of the latter. In conse-
quence of this incident, Gordon Pasha
lett the Abyssinian frontier and pushed
on to Shavtown. Notwithstanding this
singular check to negotiations, peace is
s.ill probable. There seems to he no
practical difference regarding the
terms, and both parties are desirous of
peace because of internal affairs, par
ticularly on the part of the King of
Abyssinia. But Egypt and Abyssinia
are so eXasperated with each other that
peace must be made by some third
party. Each party would be willing to
submit to the mediation of England,
and if she would undertake the task,
there would be peace in u very few
months.

The California Mint.

San Francisco, May 25.-Whatever
may be the real facts in regard to the
present management of the San Fran
cisco mint, there is no basis for the
Washington dispatches, daily reitera-
ted in one San Francisco journal, to
the effect that charges of official mis-
conduct have been made to the Presi-
dent or Secretary of the Treasury
against Superintendent LaGrange. On
the contrary, the mint is officially re-
ported, thus far, in Il very efficient con-
dition. No complaint from the deposi-
tors has been made There has been
some dissatisfaction expressed about the
mint figuring in politics, and reports
under this head have reached the De-
partment from various quarters, which
are likely TO have more influence with
the administration, and lead to some
changes eventually.

federates in the American rebellion.
They cannot suddenly concentrate their
forces to hurl en-masse against either of
the two opposing forces, without giving
the other corps fatal advantage. The
Russians apparently have no intention
of crossing the lower Danube and en-
tering the low unhealthy swamps of
Dobrudscha, Their feints on that
point are designed merely to cover their
work of fortifying that portion of the
river to guard against flank attacks
from that direction by the Turks.
Their grand attempt to cross the Dam
ube apparently will be between Wild
din and Rustchuk. If this succeeds,
they can compel the Turks to retreat
rapidly to the Balkan mountains or risk
their entire fate in a great field fight on
comparatively open plains. But the
Russian commander evinces no haste.
His situation is such that he can afford
to wait if necessary, holding the Turks
ut bay on the Danube until the Russian
forces moving towards ErzerOom shall
have finished the immediate campaign
work designed for their accomplish
ment.

MISSISSIPPI.
The Kemper County Massac

The Kemper County Massacre.
Memphis, May 25.-The Avalanche
tomorrow will contain lengthy inter-
view of correspondent with Gov.
Stone, of Mississippi, in relation to the
Kemper comfy massacre. The gov
ernor states that he has done all in his
power to bring the guilty ones to trial
by requesting Judge Hanow, circuit
judge, to call an extra session of his
court for that purpose, and that, under
the laws of the state, the executive
has no power to do more in the matter.
He had gone to DeKalb as soon as he
heard of the affair, but when he arrived
the rioters had dispersed, and nothing
was left for him to do except to go and
see Judge Hanow and ask the judicial
officers to take steps to bring them to
trial. The governor thought it exceed
ingly doubtful if q jury in Kemper
county would convict the rioters, who
are all well known residents.

THERE is a complicated state of af-
fairs existing between Absynnia and
Egypt. Gordon Pasha Of the Egyptian
army sends as ENJOYS the two sons of
the Egytian shiek of leila, to King
John of Absynnia, and that savage
monarch returns the ENJOYS to the
Pasha minus an arm and a leg, as an
indication of his royal displeasure.
Then the Pasha, who is a Gordon, a
suspiciously Scotch name by the way,
but an American by birth, gets mad
and leaves the Absynnian frontier, and
pushes on to Sharktown. We should
have thought the Pasha would have
had enough Of the Shark King John,
without proceeding toSharktown, as um-
doubtedly the men minus a leg and an
arm had. However, the Pasha, at va
rance with the King, who evidently
has mania for collecting arms and
legs, sat down to deliberate, notwith-
standing this singular check to the ne
gotiations, and the most astounding
thing is, that after all this surgery on
the part Of King John, and the retreat
ing on the part of Gordon Pasha, "pea 8

CALIFORNIA.


Washington, May 25.-An official
letter just received from a high govern
ment officer on the Pacific coast, asserts
unreservedly and earnestly that the
constantlyaccumulating deleteriousgas
es in the Comstock mines, generated
from the hot water found at present at
great depths of working, bid fair to
soon compel the abandonment of work
on the lode, unless relieved by speedy
connection with the Sutro tunnel.
This statement was so impressive that
the mint director, Linderman, sought
an interview with ]. w. Mackay on
the subject, but failed to meet him, as
Mackay had already left for Europe,
remaining only one night here.
