try except at Leadville.
Gen. Francis A. Walker, the head of the

A DECISION has been promulgated by the
French authorities, which is Of consider
able importance to Americans residing
abroad, or those whose relatives may hap
pen to die in Paris. 1t has just been de-
cided by the French government that
none of the United States. officials have
the right, as heretofore, to afix their seals
to the property Of citizens of the United
States who may chance to die in Paris.
Nor can the estates of deceased Americans
be settled thereafter according to the laws
of their own land. There exists, it appears,
no treaty on such points between France
and the United States. and the French
authorities claim that when any French
person dies in America, the French
officials are not permitted to take charge
of his affairs, which are settled according
| to American law. Therefore the seals of
a French juge de la piar must be affixed to
the property of all Americans dying in
France, and the American officials must
have nothing at all to do with the matter.

THE elaborate article of John w. For
ney, which we republish, will he read
with great interest. There is room in
our church for all converts and repent
ant sinners. Col. Forney has been illu-
minated after the manner of Paul and he
will make all excellent apostle, being a
vigorous worker and stroag writer. He
knows great deal about General Han
cock and tells a great deal that the peo-
pie will be glad to hear. His testimony
is valuable, and as he has at last got
again on the right side his argument is
solid. Hancock's nomination has had a
wonderful effect in spiking the enemy's
guns and capturing their gunners.
Another General turns in from Pitts
burgh. We fear there will be no Repub-
lican party left. With the leaders throw
ing up the sponge and the lieutenants de-
serting, the rank and file must surrender.
WE wish the delight Of childhood and
the disgust of manhood with the noise
Of the Fourth of July could each be

was the preponderance, that we might
decide whether we ought to continue to
give up the day to childish observance.
1t is well that the country is not afflicted
like the towns and that this harbor of re-
! fuge is at hand. The Fourth of July in
cities would be uncomfortable if there was
no escape from it. 1t was great mis-
take that independence was not declared

THE solicisude of the Republicans THAT
the presidential campaign shall be con-
Quoted without mud-slinging'' at the
respective candidates, recalls to mind the
fable of the Horse and the Cock The
Horse ate his oats from a we'll filled
trough and the Cock fed on the grains
that fell from it but was in constant dread
of being crushed beneath the Horses
heavy hoof. So the Cock said to the
Horse, neighbor, if you will not tread
on my corns, will not tread on yours. -

by the vanity of the cock, merely an

Old maids can make home Of one

tin kettles, besides making all their own
wardrobes.
Old bachelors need an army OF tail

and hotel landlords to keep them com
