Southern Claims.

Southern Claims.
This term has been used much of
late, and viii De again the coming
fall, ItnoW means, us used in poll
tics, claims growing out Of the war
in the South.
Already constitutional amend
ment has been adopted preventing
the payment Of amy claims to those
who were disloyal during the war.
Bat, say our radical friends, the rebels
now all claim they were loyal, and
the constitutional amendment is a
dead letter. The action Of the Re
publican congress during It's last few
| years seems to sustain this position.
Millions Of claims were allowed by
the last Republican congress; but,
since the Democrats have been ma
jority i'll the House, few, indeed, Of
these claims have passed. it has been
by the Republican vote il Lied to the
south, the large majority Of Tire
Northern Democrats always voting
solid against All claims Of the kind.
Here are the figures to prove this
statements:
They were allowed during the 43d
Congress (RepubiicGD some $4,000,
00o OF these eiail ); over $S,o00,o00
were reported fayorably, but $1,000,
800 We're defeated through the efforts
Of the Northern Democrats. The I4th
House Diem )cra) passed only 81,
900 Of these chsi!as secured by the
votes OF Northern Republicans.
The Ash House Of Representatives
(Dem0crats) allowed oa2 OF these
claims for 5000 only, ana il was
fuuSht by every Democrat from the
State, and passed by Republican Yotes.

dous arches of the two sections of the
gallery devoted to painting and sculp-
ture This house will be filed with
bers of municipal governments, and to
every one who takes a proper pride IN
the condition of the town in which he
lives. GAS entered the place, day or
two SINCE" writes correspondent,
"workmen were slowly and skillfully
erecting model of the great reservoir
at Montrouge. The model will be ac-
companied by statistics giving an exact
idea of the cost of each work. The new
system of internal communication, an
amplification of her present one, which
France soon intends to put into opera
ton, will be illustrated here.''
One of the most striking of the ma
tional buildings is the Algerian. 1t will
represent mosque in Moorish style,
and will combine different details from
the best religious architecture of Alge
ria As the Koran prescribes, nina
ret is placed at the west end, and at the
east is a square tower. The inner fur
nishing will be rich with fountains,
flowers and galleries hung with tapes
try, and the portico, covered with por-'
celain ornaments, will resemble the ia
nous door of Sidi-Bou-Medine. The
arms and costumes which Arabs
have worn at various periods in their
history will be shown. The pavilion
will be surrounded by q line of Arab
tents and cafes, where natives IN home
dress will attend on those who visit
them.
1t is now said that the Chinese pavil-
ion will be under the personal attention
of several young ladies, newly arrived
from the Empire. t .#9t#Af
The pavilion for the Shah of Persia is
another curious work. All the fittings
have come from the City of Teheran.
In the central pediment the Persian
arms of the Sun and Lion have been
carefully modelled. In a room on the
upper floor the ceiling has been covered
with mirror-glass, forming great num-
Der of fantastic pendentives, which will
have an effect at night of peculiar bril-
liancy.
On the opposite side of the Seine, and
in front of the main building, the open
space is covered with village of cafes,
pavilions, and kiosks. One of these
halls has been set apart by the Spanish
Commissioner for the display of wines.
Monaco will not be forgotten. A
bright and attractive pavilion has been
erected to remind the visitor of those
festivities which are so well known in
southern France, and of which he may
have personal knowledge.

boats cruising in Lake Michigan. That
Germany has taken this position ia sip-

boats cruising in Lake Michigan. That
Germany has taken this position is sig
nificant in two ways. First, it shows
that Germany for the first time consid-
ers herself strong enough to distate to
England and make this bold demand
with the confidence that it will not be
disregarded. Second, it shows unmis-
takably the drift of German sympathy
that she should make demand which
speaks one word for herself and whole
volume for Russia, for, if the English
fleet is kept out of the Baltic, Russia
can go to war with no concern for any
damages that the powerful iron-clads
might intlict upon her on her northw est
ern coast. ..-.
1t must also bring home to England the
unwelcome prospect that she is isolated
from Continental help, and that, if she
goes into the war, she must do so with
out an ally, unless it be the disabled
Turk, who in his moribund condition
can offer no valuable assistance. 1t is
perfectly evident, Notwithstanding all
the hopes held out by Austro- Hungary,
that the latter has no intention of an ac-
tive participation in the war, but has
been waiting for such ACKNOWLEDGMENT
as shall compensate her in the general
partition. 1t is equally evident that
Germany, although she comes bearing
an olve-branch, has no sympathy with
England. With such odds against her,
the war party in England will be likely
to take sober second thought and cal
culate the chances more critically be-
fore they rush into a struggle with a
victorious Power, with no certainty of
assistance from any quarter. That there
is decided change coming over the
English people is shown by the great
peace meetings now being held in the
center and north of England. They
prophesy the organization of peace
party strong enough to make itself felt.

Germany's Demand.

During the war between Russia and
Turkey, and the negotiations that have
followed it between Russia and Eng
land, Germany has had considerable to
say as a mediator about the rights of
others; she now appears about to say
something for herself and to issue a
-caveat to England that will not be very
welcome. The sudden mission of Count
Won Moltke to Copenhagen, following
so closely upon the preparations of Eng
land to send au iron-clad fleet into the
Baltic, is universally regarded as tanta-
mount to an announcement of Germany
to England that she must keep out of
that sea. Geographical position, Ger
many's marine necessities, as well as
the force of destiny, all point with I'M
erring certainty to the ultimate absorp-
ton Of Denmark by Germany, and the
latter's invitation to her to close the
Sound will not be disregarded. She is
too weak to refuse the demand of her
colossal neighbour, and even were she
strong enough to hesitate, a refusal
might hasten the process of absorption.
Apart from any consideration of this
nature, however, it is not remarkable
that Germany should express her unwill-
ingness to allow English IRON
clads on the Baltic. That sea is vir-
tually an inland lake connected with
the high seas, that are the worlds prop
erty, by narrow outlet, and belonging
peculiarly to Scandinavia, Germany,
and Russia, and neither Germany nor
Denmark intends that it shall be occu-
pied by foreign power for belligerent
purposes. In like manner Russia and
Turkey have looked upon the Black Sea
as their common property, and have
jealousy guarded its waters against the
armed vessels of any outside power.
The sentiment of Germany may be APP
preciatet by what the sentiment of Hi
nois would be in case it were possible
for Canada and Michigan to get into
trouble, upon witnessing Canadian gun

Female Places for Hiding Money.

Mrs. Hansen put $50 in the oven of
her stove one night, to keep it safe.
Next morning after breakfast the
national debt had been diminished
exactly that much. A student
of the curious would find it interesting
to note the places in which women hide
their money. One excellent and frugal
dame used to tuck her savings away I'M
der the corner of the carpet. The tiny
roll of greenbacks grew fatter and fat
ter in the course of year or two, when,
the day after it counted $3.50, the house,
took fire, burnt to the ground, and
again the national debt was diminished
by little roll of woman's pin money.
There was that other careful lady, too,
who used sometimes to hide her dia-
monG rings between two teacups in the
kitchen cupboard, sometimes behind a
certain brick in the cellar, and again
under the lining of an old hat. She
had divers other places of safety for her
jewels also, the only trouble being that
she had so many hiding places she oqca-
sionally forgot where she had last put
her precious things, and about every
three months would fancy she had been
robbed, and the house would be turned
inside out, and all therein made uncom-
Portable until the missing sums would
be found carefully tucked away in the
folds of the bottom towel of the pile in
the left-hand corner of the lower draw
er in the clothes-press at the east end of
the dining-room. This periodical ex-
element about Mrs. McGillicuddy's
diamond rings was the only event which
broke the monotony of an otherwise
rather dull life in a suburban residence.
Shakespear knew the soul of the sex
when he made the MerryWives of Wind
sor hide Falstaff in basket of linen.
Their idea is to hide things in places
where people would net be apt to look
for them. 1t is unusual, perhaps, for a
woman to have much money to take
care of, therefore she puts it away in an
unusual place. An estimable lady used
to hide her gold watch and pocket book
under the inverted wash-basin in the
kitchen every night. A few days ago a
New York woman put her $500 diamond
ring in the folds of lace curtain She
put it there because that was place
where thieves wouldn't be apt to look
for it. A servant who was busting the
room shook the curtain, and away went
the diamond ring out the window, and
now its owner mourns for it as one
without hope. A most worthy lady
died not long since at her home, not a
thousand miles from Cincinnati, and
after her death the family found large
sum of money hidden away in an an
Gent handbook full of old hats and bon
nets. 1t was her savings for several
years, and nobody knew she had it until
after she was dead. Whenever woman
dies who, like John Gilpin's wife, s'had
a frugal mind" her anxious and affec-
tionate heirs will do wisely to look for
her savings in all places in which money
would not likely be hidden.-Cincinasats

A French Love Story.

Two wedding couples presented them
selves at the mayoralty in suburb of
Paris, to carry out the civil portion of
their marriage contract. They ranged
themselves on opposite sides of the
Mayors official throne, and faced one
another. The Mayor was asking a
question of one of the bridegrooms,
whose attention was thus distracted
from his bride. On turning round to
look at her when he had answered the
question, he caught her making s'sheep's
eyes" at the bridegroom opposite. Be-
ing of a jealous Temperament, he laid
his hand roughly on her arm, and said,
sharply. 9assii hset :.
Mademoiselle, which of the two
brides are you? You are mine, I believe;
then oblige me by combining your chances
to me-" r
The bride was young woman of
spirit, and resenting the tone in which
the reprimand was made, retorted:
"Ah, Monsieur, if you are jealous al
ready, am likely to lead pleasant life
with you?"
The jealous bridegroom made an angry
reply, and then the other bridegroom
must needs pu. his oar in:
"Pah! Monsieur, why should you
make such fuss because Mademoiselle
chooses to favor me with glance?''
Thereat his bride turned savagely
upon him and exclaimed: "Ha, Mon
sieur! 1t would seem, then, that you
like to have ladies make eyes at you!
Now know what to expect from you );
but you might at least have had the de-
cency to keep this proof of your faith
lessness concealed from me here.''
And with this fierce thrust she burst
into tears. In vain the Mayor attempt
ed to pacify both parties. The BRIDE
grooms stormed at each other, aud the
brides, between their hysterical sobs,
mutually accused each other Of perfidy.
What was to be done? ttsdfl q p
At last the Mayor, losing temper, cried
out: "Am to proceed with this GER

The two brides, with one accord,
screamed, sNo!" ss''

wrath had again cooled down, ssyou
