WHAT IS BEHIND IT?-No amount of mon
ey can stand in the stead of good name. It
is blunder everywhere and every time to
suppose the loss of character can be paid for.
DR.. David Kennedy, Of Rondout, N. Y, pro-
prietor of the great medicine called "Faver-
lite Remedy" would have but little confidence
to recommend the public to buy and use it If
his o,oa good name were not behind it. But
the fact that he has staked his reputation upon
it ought to be, and Is, better than thousand
cheap certificates in the opinion of the peo-
pie. The Doctor is a regular physician sur
geon, and despises a humbug as heartily as
any man. If you are sick with any complaint
of the Blood, Kidneys or Liver, invest One
Dollar in the Favorite Remedy, and it will
speak for itself.

AS the boy was determined to be true to his

death; but he started quietly with other boys
Saturday for Boston, whence they were to sail
for home by way of Europe. But Yung Kwai
stepped from the train in this city, on the plea
of bidding goodbye to his friends here, and
that is the last that has been seen of him.
Where he is nobody seems to know He il
90 years old, and he is evidently hoping to
keep hidden for year until he becomes OF
age and can become citizen of the United
States. The boy must be credited with rare
devotion to principle. He had lived In this
city six or seven years, and was much loved
for his personal virtues and admired for his in

A fatal accident occurred on the Housaton-
ic railroad at Parlor Rock Grove. about eight
miles from Bridgeport on Monday forenoon.
A freight train had started cut of Bridgeport
when, at Parlor Rock. an excursion train was
seen rounding curve in front. The engin-
eer of the freight train and bis fireman Jump
ed off and escaped with slight injuries. En-
gineer William Bristol, of the excursion train,
staid to reverse his engine, and as the trains
came together was caught by the tender, had
that he died in a few minutes. A brakeman
on the freight train was thrown twenty feet
in the air, but was not much hurt. The two
engines were demolished, and several of the
freight cars smashed up. One of the passen-
ger cars was partly broken but no passenger
seems to have been much hurt. The excur
sion had come down from Great Darlington
to see the performance of Paul Boytsn, the
swimmer. 1t was stormy day, and the
broken passenger car had but few people on
board. .ftl = 90

Western census returns, so far as received,
show smaller gains than had been expected.
OF course the far West is largely on the in
crease, but the West of our youth-Ohio,
Indian. Michigan and Illlnois-has heen
drained by the current that is setting still
farther west from those States and the va
cancy is no longer filled from the eastern
States. Wisconsin, for instance, shows gain
of little more than Is per cent-a small in

claration of the republic. From this time the
royal family were in too close confinement to
communicate anything of Importance to Fer
sen. A little more than year later she was
condemned and executed. The reviewer sums
up her career az follows:
As it was, Marie Antoinette was ushered
mere child into the slippery world of Versail-
les, with absolutely no natural prop whereon
to lean. Then fen upon her the heavy trials
of her later years. These came too abruptly,
and were altogether of too extraordinary
| character, to be understood by one so abse.
lutely stranger to serious thought But the
sufferings that attended these trials suddenly
| made woman of the giddy girl, and convert
ed into dignified Queen her who till then
| had been Princess bent merely on frohc and
| frivolity. The Marie-Antolnette of the Revo-
lutionary period, standing augustly. by her
husbands side and watching with matronly
tenderness over her children, must bespeak
sincere respect. But as Queen of France, the
influence she exercised from beginning to end
in the domain of politics was simply disas-
trous. To the last moment she remained
hopelessly blind to the forces in operation.
With all the strenuousness and vehemence-
and also the dupficity-of passion, she urged
on apoiicy which was the one most calculat-
ed to lash the nation into frenzy, and to en-
velope the King, herself, and her children in
ruin. In her sadness and in her tragedy the
woman commands sympathy; but the verdict
of history on the Queen cannot be other than
condemnatory.
We hardly see how any candid and intelli-
gent critic could say less. Little as we ap-
prove Of Marie Antoinette's execution, she
was unquestionably guilty of treason against
the government they had all sworn to support
There was sufficient proof of this before, bu,
Fersen's letters place it beyond question. King
Louis, having taken an oath to support the
new constitution which changed the govern
ment of France from an absolute to limited
monarchy, would have kept it. we verify be-
lieve,. but for the Queens influence She
would not permit it. She was busy under
