A New President in France.

Marshal MacMahou resigned the wc,-
idency of France on Thursday OF la,
week, aud the French Assembly
chosen NJ Grevy his successor. This.
a very sudden change in the eXecaIrr
of the French republic, but the eu.ur
decorum with which it has been effect
ed, the high character of Grevy a. O.
conservative republican, and the har-
mOny which is now established between
the Parliament and the administration
really strengthen the prestige Of the
French people us a nation capable Of
self-goverDment. The resignation w
MacMahon seems To have heeu cnu-.-
quent upon Ills refusal to sanction i-
concessions of the Dufaure ministry
regard to the substitution of reDubIi,N
for imperialist functionaries and p.ue,
ais of the army. The Assembly ais,
threatened to impeach the old De Bro
gle ministry upon the reactiona1
campaign which they inflicted on til,
country few years ago, but probabI,
this will be dropped now that the mar
shall has resigned. His term would
have expired in November, 1880.

THEORY AND ARGUMENT.


To continue, the robbers concealed
themselves in the hall that afternoon,
after finding out that Mr.. Barron was at
the bank, and watched their opportunity,
as the repeated attempts to open the
door attest, TO find MIR. Barron alone in
the bank. The moment he went into
the real of of the room for the purpose
of filling the cOal-hod, they could hear
the noise, and when that sound was
heard, i'll my opinion, they unlocked the
door, entered the bank, and as Mr.. Bar
ron was returning from the coal-bin
with the hOd in his hand, it was very
easy matter for three men to overpower
him without leaving the marks of a
struggle, as he was small man, and
they were three to one. After being
Overpowered, the next thing was to Get
him to open the safe, which he in all
probability refused to do. He was then
gagged, cord tied round his neck and
twisted to compel him to reveal the
combination, And here let me speak of
the gag, about which so much has been
SAID by Detectives Dearborn and Chap
man. L agree with these gentleman
that 1t was made of the handle of a wa
ter-pall, but when they say that burg
lars never use such gag entirely dis
agree with them, because is is well
known that the one used by Miles in
gagging the Barre cashier was in every
respect like the gag found in Mr.. Bar
ron's mouth, and as far as the difficulty
IN breathing is concerned, the object
| is not SO much to prevent respiration as

POultry-Keeping in a Village.
From tho American Agricultural,

Mr.. j. V. c." of Haddonfeld
N. j.. noticing the communication
from city in the January number
on poultry-keeping, sends US the fol
lowing account of his experience -
On leaving the city, one of my first
concerns, after getting we'll settled
in this village, was TO obtain a few
fowls. and having read a good deal
about the different breeds, I fixed
upon the Light Brahmas. l found
them good layer and good mothers |;
but we soon tired Of them for the

somewhat sttingy. / then procured
eggs Of my neighbors, and soon had

meat more tender and solid. / have

years, and have good healthy fowls.

The Cure for G0ssin.

Everybody must talk about some
thing. The poor fellow who was
told not to talk for fear that people
would find out that he was a fool
made nothing by the experiment
He was considered a fool because
he did not talk on some subject o.
other. Everybody must have some
thing to say, or give up society. O.
course, the topics of conversation
will relate TO knowledge. If a ma
is interested in science, he will talk
about science and if he is famiiia
with literature, and is an intelligent
and persistent reader, he will nat
urally bring forward literary topics
in his conversation. So with social
and religious questions. "Out Of lie
abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh." That of which the MUD
is full, that with which it is furni-h
ed, will come out in expression.
The very simple reason why The
world is full of gossip is that those
who indulge in it have nothing else
in them. They must interest them
selves in something. They know
nothing but what they learn each
day in intercourse with and oh eT. 4.
ton of their neighbors. What these
neighbors do, what they do say,
what happens to them in their socia !
and business affairs, what they wear.
these become the questions of su-
preme interest. The personal aud
social life around them-this is the
book under constant perusai, and
out of this comes that pestiferous
conversation which we call gossip.
The world is full of it, and in a mil
lion houses, all over the country,
nothing is talked OF but the person
affairs of neighbors.
What is the cure of gossip? Sim
ply culture. There is great deal
of gossip that has no malignity in it.
Good-natured people talk about their
neighbors because, and only because,
they have nothing else to talk about.
Gossip is always personal con-
fession either Of malice or imbecili
ty, and The young should not only
shun it, but by the most thorough
culture relieve themselves from all
temptations to indulge in it. It is
low, frivolous, and too often dirty
business. There are country neigh
borhoods in which it RACES Ike q
pest. Churches are split in pieces
by it. Neighbors make enemies by
it for life. In many persons it de-
generates into a chronic disease,
which is practically incurable. Let
the young cure it while they may.

From the Boston Transcript

You may not be aware that it was

Corps on the afternoon of the first
day at Gettysburg, and after short
bat desperate conflict broke lis line
and swept it from the field.

thought, mortally wounded. He
was shot directly through the body,
Two of his men attempted 10 bear
him through that shower Of lead
from the field but one was Instant
~ killed, ard Gen. Barlow magnan-
imousIy said to the other: "Ycu
can do me DO good save yourself II
you can" Gordon's brigade ofGeorg-
ans 10 its wild charge swept over
him, and he was found by Gen. Ger
lon himself, lying with uptnrned face
n the hot July sun, nearly paralized
and apparently dying. Gen. Gordon
dismounted from his horse, gave him
drink Of water from his cauteen,
and inquired Of Gen. Barlow his
name and wishes.
Gen. Barlow said 81 shall proba.
bly, live but short time. Please
take from my breast pocket the pack
ct of my wife's letters and read one
of them to me;'' which was done.
He then asked that the others be
torn up as he did not wish them to
fall into other hands. This Gen.
Gordon did, and then asked: "Can
I do anything else for you General"
: Yes" replied Gen. Barlow, earn
estly. my wife is behind our ar
my. Can you send message through
the lines?" Certainly WILL" said
Gordon, and he did. Then direct
ing Gen. Barlow to be borne to the
shade of tree at the rear, he rode
on with his command. The wife re-
ceived the message and came harm
lessly through both lines of battle
and found her husband, who eventu-
ally recovered.
Since Gen. Gordon's election to
the United States Senate. both he
and Gen. Barlow were invited to a
a dinner party In Washington, and
occupied opposite seats at the table.
After introductions, Gen. Gordon
said: "Gen. Barlow, are you re-
lated to the officer of your name who
was killed at Gettysburg?" 81 am
the man." said Barlow. "Are you
related to the Gordon who is sup.
posed to have killed me?' 81 am
the man." said Gen. Gordon. The
hearty greeting which followed the
touching story, as related to the in-
terested guests by Gen. Barlow, and
the thrilling effect upon the CON-
pany, can better be imagined than
described.
