JAMES PARTON is engaged in the
highly agreeable task of writing of the
real and traditional George WASH
ington. He has already exploded the
Ratchet story, and the Valley Forge
prayer in the snow. No doubt before
James gets through with his subject
the real Gen. Washington will stand on
the same level as an ordinary general.
He will have gambled in his tent taken
his tody regularly, sworn like the army
in Flanders, and been guilty of numer-
Gus immoralities. Washington's name
is destined to be pulled down to the
level Of ordinary heroes.

Fanny DAVENrOKT's marriage /"
Edward F. Price is truly Ter profession
al funeral, as aptly said by an Elk
change. We chance to know the gen
tleman and his divorced wife, Kitty
Baker. They were married a few years
ago in Pittsburgh. Miss Baker was
one of the prettiest little actresses on
the stage and most popular. Price is a
handsome fellow aud probably attract
ed Miss Davenport by his personal
charms. She may possibly live happily
with her husband, but it is evident
that not much dependence can be
placed in n man who is divorced from a
wife to marry again. The magic spell
that surrounded the most beautiful
Fanny Davenport is broken. She must
suffer professionally from her serious
indiscretion.

FRANCE and England are good sub
jects for comparison to show the benef-
icence Of distributed wealth. In
France there are 6,oO0, 900 persons who
own lands, 100000 of whom are
small farmers, the proportion of agri-
cultural labor being 81 per cent. The
world knows there are but few paupers
in France. In England there are only
100000 proprietors, the proportion be-
ing II per cent. And England has l.
000, 900 of paupers. The time is COM
ing when the division of large estates
and private parks into farms will be
necessary for the self preservation OF
England.

we addressed letter to s. F. Sher-

will gladly give you what information
and knowledge / have of the Ska-ka-

quently listened to the Indians dis
cribing said pass as being more de-
sirable one than either the Lo 10 or
the southern pass. But owing to it's
inaocessibility during the Summer and
the dense growth of timber on the
ridge over which it follows, it was not
used except in Winter as snow shoe
trail. The pass is represented to be
much lower than either of the above,
entering the mountains to the south of
the Lo Lo, ascending the middle fork
some distance, then leaving it on the
south side and crossing south fork Of
