A Woman Who Refused Amnesty.

Some of the advanced" French Jour
mails have lately given proof Of their in
nate capacity for hero worship by extoll-
ing to.the skies the civic virtues and NOR
al excellences of female luminary of
the Commune hitherto unknown to fame.
This lady has recently been amnestied by
the President of the Republic, but, from
her lofty nature, the pulling sentiment of
gratitude is conspicuous by its absence,
if we may judge her character by letter
she has addressed to that august func-
tionary upon the subject of her pardon
Condemned, in 1871, to transportation to
a fortified place, Louise Michel was inn
prisoned for two years in Auberiye, and
was thence conveyed to Numea.
There she founded school, in which
she taught her own peculiar theories,
physical and ethical, to the children of
her fellow-convicts. An interesting fea-
t,lre in her curriculum of study was a
brand-new catechism in which she ex-
ercised her pupils daily. 1t commenced
as follows: "Who created you? Nature"
When the communication of her sentence
was announced to her, she commented
upon that act of grace in these remarka-
bic terms: ~ have erected in my heart
a Paris and France after my own taste.
But as this France of mine does not as
yet exist, | prefer to remain here among
the savages. My hour is not yet come.
| am proud, and do not choose to incur
the reproach of moral weakness in the
endurance of nv exile.
II know that Paris takes a deepinterest
in me, and that the Government would be
delighted could it discover the least
blemish in my character"
A martyr to her convict 'ons, Louise
Michel, offering freedom and return to
the real France which, pc haps fortu-
nately for Europe, differs so widely from
the France created by her fervid magma
ton, chooses to remain in penal colony
and to inculcate her peculiar doctrines
upon the rising generation of Numeans.
On the whole, we opine that our viva
cious neighbors may reasonably congrat-
ulat, themselves upon her selection of
Numea as a place of residence, and upon
the circumstance that their native coun-
try does not come up to her notion of
what France ought to be in order that
its moral condition should justify her in
returning to its shores.

Cause and Cure of Snoring.

A writer in the Scientific Monthly
tells how the habit of snoring is &C
CURED, and-better still-how it may be
cured.
S'And, first, the cause: The air reaches
the lungs through two channels, the
nose and the mouth. The two currents
meet in the throat below the soft pal
ate, the end of which hangs loose and
swings backward and forward, produc-
ing the snoring. If the air reaches the
lungs, as it should, through the nose, no
noise will be made. If it reaches the
same through the mouth, the palate will
make more noise, since it is not the
natural channel, but when it rushes
through both of these channels then it
is that the sound sleeper banishes rest
from the pillows Of his companions by
his hideous noise. Theremedy for snor-
ing is to keep the mouth closed; and
the writer of the article re-
ferred to, has invented an article SO
cheap that anyone can make it, and no
snorer should be without it. It consists
OF a single cap, fitting the head snugly,
and piece OF soft material fitting the
chin. These are connected by elastic
webbing, which is connected with the
head-cap near the ears. This contriv-
ance prevents the jaw from dropping
down, and thereby rendering snoring
impossible. The great trouble will be
get people to adopt this invention, since
the most upright and honest of men
and women will rarely, if ever, confess
that they snore, and will be very indig-
nant if accused of it. As further in
lucement to the introduction of the
continuance of DR.. Wyeth, it may be
added that breathing through the mouth
is very detrimental to the health, and
that many diseases of the throat or
lungs are contacted or aggravated
thereby"

Migration TO the West.

Taking the land sales of the whole
period since 1873, the year of the panic,
when the fall of prices and the scarcity
Of work in the East set people here to
thinking about going West, 1t would
appear that more than 100000 people
have taken up homes in the West and
South in the past five years. Of this
number, not over 100000 can possibly
have been supplied by foreign imnnigra-
ton, the rest of the total of $4,000
immigrants in those years remaining in
the East or in towns and cities of the
Pacific coast. At least l, 88O,OOO people
have, therefore, gone from the East and
from Virginia and Kentucky, in the last
five years; over 100000 during 1878.
There is no mistake about the fact that
times have grown easier. There is less
labor unemployed, and there is larger
consumption Of manufactured goods
This migration to the new States would
alone have been the means of produc-
ing this result, even if it had had no
material aid from any other source.
The regions to which the migrators
principally went in 1873 are Texas, Kan
sas, Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, and
California, in the order named; but
some have gone to Florida, Arkansas,
Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, and the
regions beyond the Rocky mountains.
Nebraska gained 100000 of these new
settlers during 1878. Gov. Pillsbury,
of Minnesota, writes that his State
gained $4,000. Kansas gained proba-
bly, 125,0O0 The Arkansas valley in Kan
sas alone gained $4,000 settlers in 1878.
The eminence of Kansas in wheat-pro-
duction in 1878 is due to the immigra-
ton of previous years, and such has
been the rush this year that the posi-
ton of Kansas as the banner State in
wheat seems guaranteed for some time
to come. While Kansas gained 125,OOO
of new settlers in 1878, it is estimated
that Dakota did the same, the rush to
that region being, of course, due large
ly to the mining excitement, although
not exclusively. Texas claims to have
gained half million during 1878, but
there is no proof that the influx to the
State was more than 100000 at the very
outside. The movement tie Florida and
other regions was small.-Ne,o York

The Greatest Orator.

The following paragraph is from one
Of Ben. Perley PORES letters to the
Boston Journal:
" [ have been asked who, among the
Congressman of the past half-century
was the greatest orator, and I reply,
without hesitation, Sargent S. Prentiss.
Born and educated in Maine, he went
to Mississippi, where he was for two
years tutor in private family, and
then-by ability and personal courage
bounded from obscurity to renown,
FROM the very foot to the topmost
ladder of fame. In due time he was
sent to the House Of Representatives
from Mississippi, and his election was
contested, causing long and exciting
debate in the winter of 1888, in which
he was the leader and challenger He
was not a man Of imposing personal
appearance, and duel wound made
him stand ungracefully and limp as he
walked, but before political gatherings
or on the floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives / have never heard his equal
as an orator. His intellectual endow-
ments presented rare example, in
which great logical powers and the most
vivid imagination were happily blend
ed. While he frequently sought to
amuse, he rarely failed at the same time
to instruct an audience. His brilliant
wit, his keen sarcasm, and the rapidity
with which he illustrated his points by
a rapid succession Of brilliant meta
phors, made him formidable as an an
tagonist and wonderfully attractive to
all who heard him. Unfortunately, his
onvivial habits undermined his health
nd he died in his AID year."

The Man Who Had Dyspepsia.

There came to the dinner-table at the
Lawrence House, the other day, two
strangers, one lean and hungry-look-
ing customer, the other decent-ap-
pearing young fellow. As they reached
the table the older man clutched fran
tically at the bill of fare, and remarked
as follows:
Lets see what they got You know
| can't eat anything. Been nearly dead
for ten weeks with the dyspepsia. All!
oyster soup'-guess that won't hurt
me-" To waiter: "Bring me some
oyster soup, and, let's see, boiled white
fish; yes, I'll have some O that"
The soup and fish were rapidly eaten.
" Now, let's see what else they've got !;
you know I can't eat everything Roast
turkey that ought not to hurt me. I'll
have some O that. Roast beef yes,
I'll have some O. that. Chicken pot
pie'-yes, that's easily digested; I'll
have some. Let's see, I can't eat every
thing, I'll take bit of the boiled ham,
some macaroni, and All some chicken
livers and vegetables"
The waiter had taken the order, and
the man with a weak stomach reached
this way for crackers, that way for but
ter, here took piece of bread, there a
pickle and stalk of celery, and, fire.
quently remarking that he couldn't eat
everything, stayed his stomach until his
dinner was brought. He looked it
over, sent the waiter back for some
roast veal and another onion, remark
ing that his stomach was weak, he had
been suffering terribly from dyspepsia,
and couldn't eat everything, but at
Last got to work and cleared the dishes.
The matter of dessert troubled him
some because his stomach was so weak,
but he finally called for some mince pie
plum pudding, and ice-cream, with q
cup Of coffee. They were brought and
devoured, and then he called the waiter
and made her confidential communica.
ton to the effect that he had been sick
with dyspepsia, that his stomach was
weak, he couldn't eat everything, and
would she bring him bowl of milk?
The milk was brought. he crumbled
some bread therein, and, as his younger
companion had departed, the man with
the weak stomach remarked to the gen.
tleman across the table from him that il
was darned rough to have to come
down to bread fand milk, but he had
been sick, he couldn't eat everything
and he had to be careful.
And now the landlord is anxious fol-
that man to come around when he is
well. He needn't come but once
