French Politics.

LONDON, August l2.-French politics
are beginning to take leading place in
the view Of Western Europe. At Berlin
q couD Gstqt IN France is believed to be
probable, ard il is also thodght that the
government established by the coup
Tetat would not be recognized by Ger
many Notwithstanding that profound
peace prevails throughout France, the
ultra Conservative papers are urging the
government 10 declare martial law.
There IS report, in tact, current that
the Cabinet have already resolved upon
this step, and some OF the journals lscuss
it in the light OF 'CregODe conclusion.
Yesterdays Universe said: II the min
listers have really decided, AS alleged, by
five votes To four, TO proclaim a state OF
siege, we snail highly approve the meas
urc. We ask for u state Of siege that
electors may vote freely and be unIn-
formed by false pools OF radical propo
gandas The Universe believes that an
immediate proclamation OF martial law
is rendered necessary by the license OF
Radical ne wspspers which dare to talk OF
evil war unless their candidates obtain q
majority at the approaching elections.
Mcnsigneur Du tauloups newspaper,
the Defense, says: 1t is natural to sup
pose that the government may be forced
to meet by stage of siege the force and
unconstitutionsl war the Radicals wage
against it and the constitution. Informally
attacked, the government would be
wrong il 1t did not seek means to detent
it.ell

The Spring Campaign.

Nothing is safe from the depredations of
moths, unless it is clean. The best method of
caring for all wooden garments or bedding is
TO mend up every break, tear, or rip, and wash
thoroughly, dry in the sun, fold nicely, with a
little sprinkling of fine tobacco between the
1olds OF every garment, and pack them all
away IN tight box or chest; cover up tightly
with sheet, and when the frosty mornings
OF next October demand their appearance,
they are all in readiness for use. Muffs, boas,
gauntlet gloves and sleigh robes all need to be
thoroughly whipped, summed, and packed in
the same way; and you will know they will be
safe and ready at hand when needed. There
will be no care or anxiety about them for six
months at least.
Bed comforter and quilts that do not need
washing, ought to be summed thoroughly, fold
ed smoothly, and laid aside in clean place,
all in good repair. 1t is not half the work to
set them to rights in the long April days, that
1t Will be if left to autumn; and they are out
OF the way. Feather beds and mattresses need
to be well aired and summed, and if stains are
upon the ticks, a thick coating of boiling hot
staIcn, spread evenly over the place and left
10 dIy, VIII generally remove them, and keep
the peds sweet and fresh. Straw beds need to
be emptled, the ticks washed and filled with
new straw, COR OF all things, an impure bed is
most unwholesome and obnoxious. A weak
solution of spirits of ammonia in water. is good
to wash the bedstead in, as it removes ali i'm
purities; and little spirits of turpentine ap-
piled with feather to all the joints and
cracks of bedstead, will be an effective pre-
ventive against the multiplication ofsleep tor
mentors that love to riot over their victims in
the hot summer nights All these thing can
be done by degrees, as other duties will admit

POETRY.
The False Dawn.

o little birds We can not sleep
because Springs Joy disturb like pain;
rar IN the dark l hear your peep
ana broken twitter through the rain.
But when the nights are very fair,
And dawn and twilight seem to kiss,
One lingering like Juliet there
While Romeo ha stems to his bliss;
When with lucent ring and large
The dark is welded to the day,
The rosy eirdle of the marge
Scarce melting to tender gray;
When shy little bustling breeze
Steals through the garden up and down,
And whispers TO the budded trees,
Come haste and don your bridal gown
When dew in slow and trikling rills
Runs Ger the thatch that hides the nest,
The robin feels her younglings' bills
Prick soft against her feathered breast.
She dreams the eastern sky pearl,
And rayed with faintest thrills of dawn,
Her throat expands, her wings unfur
she falls into trance of song.
The screech-owl laughs at her mistake;
1t is not past the middle hour,
And all the callow birds awake
And cry for something to devour.
And then hear her hush them still
Through many discontinued cheep.
"There, Downie, close your yellow bill;
Twas mothers fault. dear 60 to Sleep"
And I, too, languish for the light,
But not with breast o'ercharged with song,
Though something murmurs through the night
And broken cries entreat the dawn.
The pain of dumb, unuttered fears
To find expression in the dark,
The mute sad longing drowned in tears
10 sing at sunrise with the lark.
All, who can e'er conceive the loss
Of poet with tuneless throat
Or bear the sympathetic cross
OF song bird born without note!
But wait till the true dawn arise
And all its glory DER us stream;
The backward song in glad surprise
Shall gush beneath that kindling beam.
From, the Neao York Evening Post.

"Every nine out of ten adults in this whole region
OF country is afflicted with Catarrh 1t to be
dramatically epidemic out in this atmosphere. Mr..
Smith tells me that the three dozen bottles of RAD
GrrDE ore o
had forty orders for within the last three weeks
but had none here to supply FROM
The Mr.. Smith referred to is of the firm of Smith
& Doll, furniture dealers, Denver. When in Boston
about a year ago be purchased eleven bottles Of
Catarrh Remedy, and one Of SANFoRD's RADICAL
CURE, the latter at the earnest request of personal
acquaintance. He had seen the first named remedy
but had not heard of the latter. Shortly after his
arrival in Denver received order for dozen of
the RADICAL CURE, and soon another with the
pleasing intelligence that Mr.. Smith was cured. The
prevalence of the disease coupled with the
mendations of Mr.. Smith, soon created lively
demand, and without advertising nearly three
hundred bottles were sent out. This is striking
illustration of what is frequent done for this remedy
as return for relief from long and painful suffering.
