HOW THE ISSUE WAS DEFINED.
PARIS, March IA correspondent says:
The chief interest in yesterdays vote in the
chamber of deputies was whether the govern
ment would be supported by the majority Of
the left. On this point all reasonable expecta-
tions have been fulfilled. The government, on
the rejection of the impeachment, obtained
majority of forty in the moderate left against
the extreme left. Such a majority leaves the
ministry open to defeat by a coalition between
the extreme left and right. The order of the
day, pure and simple, moved by Clemencan,
on the ground that the chamber having refused
to impeach the incriminated ministries had no
right to censure them, was rejected by 225 votes
OF the left to 1877 of the extreme left and right.

THE annual illustrated sacred poem,
which Lee & Shepard send out this year
is "Rock of Ages" by Augustus Montague
Toplady, and is among the brightest gems
of sacred song. 1t is a grand old hymn,
and yet its story is ever new, and espe-
cially interesting as presented IN this
beautiful book. The hymn was written
about year 1776, and in this book We find
it in its original torn, as the words fell
from the pen of its author. The book
has thirteen very choice illustrations, on
the heaviest tinted paper; and as we read
over and over again the beautiful words
Rock Of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee,
we feel rested and purified, and as we gaze
on its beautiful pictures, we would fain
hide US away in the cleft of that great rock,
and our faith grows stronger while we
look and while we read and then as we
look at the beautiful illustration of the
great rock in the dreary desert, with its
burning suns and burning sands, we
think again of its grateful shadow to the
weary traveller, and of the storms
that will surely come to all those who
fail to seek its shelter. Lee & Shepard,

DisKOrEed.

The defaulter, Chas. Etheridge, who
absconued from St. Paul last October,
has been heard from. The Merchants
National Bank were the greatest suffer
ers, he taking from them about $41 900.
Under certain conditions, through an
agent, he returned to them $4,000 IN
cash, and $500 in deeds of real estate,
for which they give him = receipt in full
for all claims, and pledge to step all
civil suits against him. He IS said to be
overwhelmed with remorse and sorrow.
His wife, with a woman's devotion, has
followed him, true to her marriage vow,
"for better, for worse" giving up all the
world, will willingly 60 with him to
some distant place where they are un.
known, and begin life anew, preferring
the humblest lot and life of toll to ease
and luxury possessed through dishonest
means. He has also paid $4,000 in prl.
vate debts in St. Paul, besides settling up
other matters. He is said to have made
the fullest restitution in his power.

Gov. P1LLsBURI, in his annual message,
recommends the legislature to reduce the
rate of legal interest. And bill, fixing
the maximum rate at 10 per cent, has
already been introduced in the Senate.
The only objection we can see to the re-
duction proposed is the hardship itsim-
poses on small borrowers with chattel or
second-class securities. No monled men
will loan small sums on such securities
without an extra per centage for the risk
assumed. And if the interest should be
cut down, that class of borrowers will
find they can't borrow, and perhaps 1t
will be just as we'll tor them and the
country generally.

Senators Omcer and Bonnivvell.
The Pionecr-P Press reporter prints the
following little item, which will be read
with interest by the many friends of Sen
ator Officer:
An interesting incident is the fact that
in the distribution of seats Senators w.
II. Officer and W. T. Bonniwell were
brought side by side, which reminded
them very forcibly that in the years 1864
and 1865 they occupied precisely the same
position in the lower house of the Wis.
consin legislature. Mr.. Officer is the
able Senator and estimable gentleman
who represents Mower county, and who,
having shown his business ability and
personal integrity in the acquisition OF q
handsome competence and in winning
the confidence and esteem of every per-
son who knows him, Is an honor alike to
his constituency and to the distinguished
body of which he is member. Mr. Bon
niwell, the talented and w,de-awake sen
ator from Mcleod and Sibley counties,
is a sort of father to his people, who
dearly love him, and whose intere sts he
guards with never ceasing vigilance.

A Successful Merchant. .

How course Of strict integrity, well
directed energy, and restless enterprise,
leads to success in life, is fairly illustrated
in the career of James Morgan, the well
known dealer in dry goods ct 386 and
368 East Water street. Five years ago,
when ne located here, he had but eight
persons in his employ and but few orders
from abroad, now he commands the SER
vices Of over one hundred employees and
dils orders for Nebraska, Washington
Territory, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri,
and Michigan, his shipping department
requiring the constant attendance of four
clerks. His dress and cloak msnufactur.
ing departments are largely patronized,
and has added new features Of trade from
time to time 10 keep his large and pros
porous establishment fairly abreast of the
age. MI. Morgan, owing to his prompt
and energetic management now ranks

fine dry goods house is pointed to with

WE find in our New York papers much
SAID about the adulterations of sugars

then pour off the clear solution into q

To test the syrup, place tablespoon.

From tho Coal Fields.

We enjoyed u pleasant call ON Tuesday
from the Davis Brothers, who are drilling
for that coal near Otranto station. We
found them to be bright, smart, active
gentlemen, possessed OF large fund
Of information regarding coal.mining.
They informed us that they have one
drill at work, which is down ~ feet, and
another one ready for business, but they
have not yet decided where they will set
it to work. The prospects continue de-
cldedly tlatterlng. These gentlemen have
drills at work at different points in VII
mona county, in this State, where they
orc confident they will soon strike coal
They have been in this business for
eighteen years, but no where in the coun'
try have they ever found the top vein
proving as we'll as at Otranto without a
workable vein below, and if nature has
not belied herself, there must be a work
able vein there.
These gentlemen while here, for the
nrst time, heard OF the specimens OF
smut coal taken from the farm Of Mr..
Thomas Smith, in Window township,
several years ago, and they intend soon to
pay Mr.. Smith visit and do some pros
pecting there, and if the indications are
favorable, and proper encouragement is
offered, they may start in the other drill
there.
We are promised letter from Messrs.
DAVIS Brothers upon the heels Of any
new developments.
Tie Legislature ought to appropriate
few thousand dollars to be used as
premiums or rewards to energetic men
like Davis Brothers for the discovery Of
paying workable coal-beds in this State.
