Tine strength Of France.

France is atiording fresh proof that she is
one of the most wonderful nations Oh the face
of the earth. .he disasters of the Franco
Prussian war, and the pay1ilent Of the five
millions of francs as the further penalty for
entering upon that war, would have crippled
all ordinary nation. But the secret of Frances
wonderful recnperatiye strength and general
prosperity is found in her admirable land sys-
ten. The occupants of the land own it.
The 1900, 900 farmers of France are freehold
ers. and pay no rents to a class Of absorbent
drones, as in Ireland and England. What the
French farmer produces is his OWL. He has
only taxes to pay for the support Of the state,
and is noG crushed down under the weight OF
a landed aristocracy. He is not evicted in a
year Of bad crops. He is not obliged to live
from hand to mouth in rags and squalor all
his life, and to appeal TO the worlds charities
for money to keep him from starvation. The
French revolution emancipated them from
feudal serfdoin, and elevated them to the rank
of independent freeholders.

Tie following item appeared in the Lyon
County Times of Saturday morning:
'Silver City will not be hurt by the new
railroad; nor will it be benefited. A grave
yard cannot be affected by a railroad two
miles away"
Shortly before noon it was evident to the
most casual observer that some unusual ex-
element was afoot among the citizens of Sill
yer. At 12:20~ a ~deputation of the leading
men of the town were seen to enter the front
door of the Times office. A m later
MrPicotte, the editor, was observed to climb
out of the back window, bare-headed and in
his shirt-sleeves. He turned lis steps to-
wards Gold Hill and progressed at the rate of
ten miles per hour. The entire population,
accompanied by all the dogs, followed Mr..
Picotte. 1t took him but a few minutes to
pass through Gold Hill and reach Virginia.
He was last seen flashing through Six-mile
canon. To-day a flag of truce is flying from
the apex Of Sugar Loaf mountain. a strong

HONEY FOR THE LADIES.

Paniers are becoming fashionable neces-
stiles.
Gypsy rings are gold bands, having three
stones almost sunk in the back. They are
ugly. r.
1t is said that there is soon to be u radical
change in hair-dressing ; plated %chignons and
light clusters of curls are to be revived.
One ribbon bracelet tied in a large bow is
worn by girls who wish 1t to be understood
that they know what is the latest style.
Recent and very pretty and delicate bangles
terminate in a hook and eye, or a button hole
and button and clasp on top of the wrist.
A dress of black gauze worn over black satin
and profusely trimmed with jet and small sun
flowers is considered especially elegant.
The rainbow or irridescent jet bands are
the Nest costly and exclusive form Of jet
trimmings. They cost $20a yard and upward.
The newest and most popular OF spring fancy
goods IS the printed Indian cashmere, in small
multi-colored fine patterns over a light ground.
Belt and stachels of black velvet and black
satin are mounted with silver; while the most
elegant are finished with the monogram Of
the owner in skeleton silver letters on the
front of the satchel.
Broad girdle belts are made Of strips of
Japanese and Chinese cloth, and are EN-
broidered and stamped with hideous dragons
and impossible birds. .Dt -
Short shoulder capes, of material resemb-
ling the dress, or of push, bracade or jet, are

Mineral Surveys.

United States Surveyor-General Wagner is
going after the United States deputy surveyors
about something which needed correction

them in the habit of making what are repre-

authorities to perform in that capacity only
such work as may be assigned them by the
Surveyor General of1ice-their appointments
being in nc sense rowing commissions. When
called upon by private parties to make surveys
not ordered by the office, they should make
them as private individuals, signing their
names without reference to their positions as

The following epistle is said to have been
taken by Napoleon from the records Of Rome

BILE manuscripts. 1t was written at the time
and on the spot where Jesus commenced his
ministry, by Pubfius Lentulus, Governor Of
Judea, to the Senate of Rome, Caesar EInper-
or. 1t was the custom i'll those days for the
governor TO write home any event Of import
ance which TRANSFERRED while he held office:
'ConsCript Fathers In those days appeared
a man named Jesus Christ, who is yet living
among us, and Of great truth but his own
disciples call him the Son of God. He hath
raised the dead and cured all manner Of dis
eases. He is a man of stature somewhat tall
and comedy, with a very rIddy countenance,
such as the beholder may both love and fear.
His hair is the color of Il tilbert when fully
ripe, plain to his ear, whence downward it is
more orient color, curling and waving TO ms
shoulders i'll the middle of his head there is
a seam of long hair, after the manner of the
NaZarItes. His forehead is plain and delicate;
his face without spot Or wrinkle, beautiied
with a comedy red; his nose and mouth are
exactly formed his beard - the color of his
hair, and thick not OF length, but forked.
In r~eproyaI he is terrible in adnonishing,
courteous: in speaking, very modest and
wise in proportions, wcil-shaped. None

him weep. A man, for his surprising beauty,
excelling the children of men,"

"Woodworker,'' N indian chief, says he
has never seen a gray-haired Indian in all his
life, and he has seen some over ninety years
old. 1t is because an Indian has no trouble,
no worrIInent or anything that way. His
wife chops all the wood, build the fires, goes
to market at daylight. stones trarnps out of
the front yard and blacks his boots. And he
is not tormented by tax collectors, gas bills
and lightning-rod peddiers. Let an Indian
start a twenty-four-eolumn daily paper in a
six-colrunn town, to tiH a long felt want, and
his hair would turn gray in one night.

Osgoods The first householder was John Stevens
Details of the earlier history of the town are gwen
with n minuteness which is, of course, of special
local ,n,orsst. while it will be valuable to the his
tori =, s,udent since it serves TO elucidate the
character of that most perfect of democracies-a

a great deal of documentary authority. There are
also interesting chapters on Andover IN the Early

there is full information of the rise of the well
