AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

PARIS, May 23.-France will doubtless
pronounce overwhelmingly against Presi-
dent MacMahon at the elections, even if
the Senate favors dissolution, which is

Don Carlos to leave France. Don Car

ors TO keep up even fence around the court

alton, They made an appropriation OF $500
some years ago for the use of the water OF an
artesian well which private citizens mad paid
$1,000 to have sunk IN the court house square,
but the tubing, from fifteen years use, has
rusted away, and the supervisors, rather than
vote a few hundred dollars to renew Il, allow
the well to run dry and the filthy jail to go
without running water. Our brave and pat
