THE FRENCH CENSUS

From the census taken at the close of
last year, it appears that France was
divided in 1870 into three hundred and
sixty-two ACCOMPLISHMENTS, 1858 can
tons, and sc, 056 communes, with a total
population of 96,9O5,7SS. This popula-
ton was made up as follows: 18, ,639
males, of whom 9,S05, 761 were unmar-
ried, 1857 1859 married men, 9S0,619
widowers; 1882, 149 females, of whom
8,944,3S6 were unmarried, 1867 ,0SO
married women, and 2,02O,6S3 widows.
The departments in which the increase
of population has been greatest are the
Seine (Paris), 100, 200, the Nord (LilIe),
81, 800; the Loire (St. Etienne), 10000;
the Meurthe-et-Moselle Nancy, $4,000;
the Gironde (Bordeaux), 10000; the
Finistere, $4,000; and the Marine, o..
900. In twenty departments, among
which may be mentioned the Calvados,
the Mancne, and the Orne, forming part
of the ancient province of Normandy,
there has been positive decrease; and
this is attributed in the official report to
the decline in the number of marriages,
to the excessive death rate, and to the
migration of the village inhabitants to
the large industrial centers. With the
exception of Montpelier, Ayignon, and
Anglers, all the large towns in France
have gained in numbers, the increase
for Paris, Marseilles, Lyons, Bordeaux,
Toulouse, St. Etienre, Roubaix and
Beziers being no less than 1892, or
more than fourth of the total increase
throughout France.

SINGING OF MICE.

The singing of mice is phenomenon
which was recently confirmed at recent
meeting of the French Societe d'Accli-
matation, by NJ. Brierre, who stated that
he, with several others, had heard mice
sing at Saint Michael-sur Theron Gin
Vendee) in 1S51-1s53. The singing
(Which was at first attributed to reptiles)
came from an old cupboard bought in a
market-place, and concealing mice. 1t
was about sunset the sounds generally
commenced. M. Brierre soaped the
Joints and wood so that he might open
the cupboard suddenly without noise
He did the latter one evening soon after
the sounds had commenced and sue
ceeded in observing, for about minute,
the movements of the throat of mouse,
which emitted song like that of wren,
the snout being elongated and held up
in the air, as a dog does when he howls.
He seized the animal with his hand and
called the others to see it, but it got Off
The singing was resumed the same night
and those following. M. Brierre is I'M
able to attribute the singing of the mice
Gas Mr.. Berdier does) to imitation of
that of canaries, for he has no bird in
the house, nor had the previous proprie-
tor of the cupboard any.

Mr.. Shane's Little Affair with an Amer
lean Lion.
kansas City Times.I

tN---"|-
THERE'S now on exhibition in the Lin
dell Hotel the rudely stuffed hide of a
very large and ferocious-looking noun
tain lion, which was killed few weeks
ago in Hensdale County, southwest of
Pueblo, Col. Mr.. H. J. Minor and a
partner named Henry Shane were en-
gagged in running pack train of bUrros,
or small Mexican asses, over the noun
tains to the mines in San Juan County.
They had just gone into camp one night
in Antelope Park when the lion made its
appearance. 1t appears that one of the
burros had given out from exhaustion
and had been left standing alone in the
snow a short distance from camp. The
animal, although almost unable to move,
suddenly gave evidence of great terror
and alarm ard commenced to bray. Mr..
Shane started out Of camp to see what
the trouble was. As soon as he left the
circle of the campfire large mountain
lion sprang upon him from projecting
rock above him and bore him to the earth.
His partner Mr.. Minor, saw the animal
spring and called at once to Shane to
keep still. The lion stood growing over
the prostate man, with its two fore feet
on his breast. Minor dropped the ropes
he was engaged in coiling and seized a
Winchester rife and fired. The animal
dropped. and Shane scrambled to his feet
and assisted in dispatching ithe ferocious
beast. He was hurt slightly about the
breast where the claws had penetrated
the clothing. The lion is but poorly
stuffed, but it is quite curiosity. 1t re-
sembles very large cat, and would
measure perhaps seven feet from the
nose to the tip of the tail. 1t is the lar
gest and best specimen of the Rocky
Mountain lion species ever brought TO
this city.

AN old writer says: Time is life's
freightage, wherewith some men trade
and make fortune. And others suf-
fer it all to molder away, or waste in
extravaganza. Time is ife's book, out
of which some extract wondrous wis
dom; while others let it lie undis-
covered, and die fools. Time is life's
tree, from which some gather precious
fruit, while other lie down under its
shadow and perish with hunger. Time
is life's ladder. whereby some raise
themselves up to honor and renown
and glory; and some let themselves
down into the deeps Of shame and ig-
nominy. Time win be to us what, by
our use of the treasure, we make tia
good or an evil, a blessing or curse"

In Guatemala seventeen ring-leaders
of conspiracy to murder the President

RUSSIAN newspapers are conducted on
an economical basis, and the publishers
tell no lies. The Moscow Teatrailnaia-
Gazeta recently incurred the displeasure
of the government, and an officer of the
press bureau was sent to the office to
arrest the proprietors. The only person
in the establishment was the publisher,
and he was sternly summoned to fetch
the editor. The publisher went up stairs
and returned speadly with large pair
of scissors, saying: Here, sir, is the
editor" The officer was rather discon-
certed, but soon recovered himself, and
exclaiming more sternly than ever: "No
nonsense! fetch me the sub-editor."
Again the publisher departed, aud again
returned, this time with pot of paste
and brush. "These sir" said he,
are the sub-editors.o

1T will interest all who lost friends in
the Ashtabula horror last winter to know
that during the spring and summer large
quantities of relics have been found, and
are in the Coroner's care in that city.
EnSyould interest them more and should
interest every one to know that, though
some of them have been in the hands of
the county officials but two or three
months, they propose to sell these relics
at public auction in January next. They
will sell-them, because one year will
then have elapsed since the accident, and
that is the length of time the law obliges
them to hold such articles. Toys and
little wraps, burned trinkets and gar.

AN iron mountain, ten thousand five
hundred feet high, rivaling the famous
iron mountain of Missouri, has been dis
covered in Colfax County, New Mexico.
The ore is almost entirely pure iron, and
in connection with the immense quaint
ties of coal found in Colfax County, this
huge deposite of iron ore must at no dis
tant day become the source of industries
which will gather and support large and
thriving population.

A case is mentioned in New Jersey of

y VOICE FROM New ENGLAND. The
following estimate of the Grover in-
vestigation appears in the Eastern

lished in Portland, Maine: Has
the Oregon Senatorial investigation
dropped since Lakes confession that
he was hired by one Highly to make
affidavit that he saw $1,000 paid
Mosier, n member Of the Legislature
to vote for Grover for Senator? Az
any rate the exposure of the con-
spiracy to blacken Growers character
appears to have quietod things amaz-
ingly. We have not doubted from
the first that Governor Grover would
come out unscathed from the inves-
tigation which he promptly demand
ed, while also confident that Morton
g. Co., who have been making so
much ado over his case, would get
the black eye which they SO richly
merit. Truth will out. We SEQ a
good deal of it already, and there is
much more to come. The rascali-
ties of the last campaign were many
and damning.
