age impression prevailed that stock would go higher

the control OF the g. O. & I. H. H. into Vanderbllts
hands. II Is stated, and there will be some probable
appreciation In the stock this week. A dividend of
per cent. on the latter In January Is proposed.

the DE Lesseps canal people have been buying the

he is the real power behind the new move

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN FRANCE.
Alexander Dumas Claims That Ladies Mus
Vote.

Alexander Dumas Claims That Ladies Must
Vote.
From an Exchange.
Then it is really serious, your demand
that women vote?" Alexander Dumas was
asked.
Neither more nor less"
But would you take from them all their
grace, all their charm? Woman"
ooh! here you come with your platitudes
but don't worry about it; she'll vote grace
fully. At first it will create some amuse-
ment; for. you know, we French must al
ways begin with laugh. But let them
laugh; women will wear bonnets la ballot
box, universal suffrage waists and political
equality skirts. At first it will make a SEN
sation, then will become fashionable; after
that habit, then an experience, then duty
and at last blessing"
BE it as it may. it is already right. A
few prominent ladies of the cities, some
rich dowagers in the provinces and some Of
our robust farmers wives will set the ex-
ample, and the rest will soon follow"
They will have meetings, assemblies,
clubs, as We have; they will say and do O
great many absurd things, as we do; they
will regret them, as We do, and little by lit
tie they will learn to correct them.
by mixing more IN the politics OF the
country they will do less to encourage that
of the church, which will not be a bad
thing.
Finally, woman-that is to say, the
mother, wife, daughter-this half of our
selves in all ages of life, having, as we'll as
we, responsibilities and duties; this living
being, thinking, loving, suffering, having O
brain, heart, soul, just as we have (if,
surely, we have one), has also necessities
and aspirations, special interests to be pro-
NOTED, improvements to accomplish, and
therefore certain rights to maintain and en-
force that require and ought to be directly
represented in the discussion of pubicpol-
icies by delegates chosen by herself.
Establish this new law of woman
suffrage as you may think wisests with al
necessary precaution suitable to this coun
try, 80 welded to routine; make certain
qualifications, if you think best, but pas
the laws. There must be in the Chambe
of Deputies some of the women of France.

Uncle George, where I saw that bracelet,
whose duplicate saw and recognized at
once, whose face is the living copy OF the
one in your locket? Must tell that the
child Mrs. Willet rescued from poverty and
adopted for her own is my cousin and your
daughter?"
Ada Smith,"
"Smith is the name that her mother
thought most probably would best conceal
her identity, and Ada is the name OF Mrs.
Willet's only child who died in infancy"
"But why have you brought her to me?'
asked Mr.. Hilton with almost a sob in his
| voice.
And as he spoke, the door, which Hilton
had left ajar, opened, and across the threshold
stepped beautiful girl, with sunny brown
hair and large blue eyes, who waited timid-
| " until her father came quickly to meet
her.
"Anna!" he said, softly. Can this be
my baby-my wee daughter? 1t must be,
for it is my Myra, who has not grown
old aud gray, as I have, but lived IN
perpetual youth. My child, l wronged
your mother, but have sorrowed and re-
pented for that wrong. Can You forgive
me?"
The tears were falling fast from Arms
Hiltons eyes, and her voice was trembling
with sobs as she said:
My dear father
That was all; but as George Hilton folded
his child in his arms, he knew he was for
given, and for him at least there might bt
happiness in making others happy.

PARTED.

Can believe, what yet mine eyes have seen,
That we are parted who were once 80 near?
That far behind us lie the meadows green,
Where we no more may greet the early year,
And praise the dewy crocus-buds, while yet
More happy in each other than in spring!
If remember, how should you forget,
And leave me lonely in my wandering!
Can believe, what yet mine ears have heard,
That severed is our sweet cempanlonsmp!
An autumn wind among the woodlands stirred
And blew your kisses from my grieving lip;
Time stepped between us, and unclasped our
hands
That reach in vain across the widening days;
Life met our wistful looks with stern commands,
And led us coldly down divided ways.
Can believe, what yet my heart has felt,
That never more our paths will be the same!
That even now your Joyous musings melt
To tender lopgings'at dearer name;
Then say farewell, since thatmust be the word.
In hfe,s strange journey may yet reJol 70,
But still through all its voices will be heard
The lingering echo of your vanished voice.

Sketch OF French Prima Donna.

A New York special has the following to
say of the French Prima donna, who is
Just now the sensation in New York:
Madame ANDRE has an eventful history.
She was born in Algeria, is thirty-si years
of age. Her father was non commission
ed officer in the French army, her mother
native of Algeria. She attracted the at
tendon of the Third Napoleon when she
was fourteen years of age. He became her
patron and she was educated at his expense
in Paris. Her relations with the king of
Holland are we'll known. He wanted to
marry her. His relatives and ministers in
terposed objections, and, according to one
account, she was bought off with $1,000,-
coo, the understanding being that she
should leave Holland at once and forever.
Another version is given by the members
of the De Beauplan troupe. 1t is to the eff
feet that there was such storTe of indig-
nation aroused against her among the Hol-
landers that she was only too glad to don
male attire and escape from the country
under cover of darkness. Betaking her.
self to Paris, she took quarters in the Rue
de Clichy, where she became acquainted
with De Beauplan. She attracted the at
tention of Col. Mapleson in Paris by her
singing in the Opera Italien, and by him
was engaged for trip to this country.
HAS she never been married before?"
asked the reporter of one of the members.
Eyes, to several She is the mother of
three children, all of whom are dead"

Soils and Health.

In a labored scientific article upon "The
Relation of Soils to Health, THE Nation
al Board of Health Bulletin" reaches these
conclusions:
From these results it appears very clear
ly that sand interposes absolutely no bar
rier between wells and the bacterial infec-
ton from cesspools. cemeteries, etc., lying
even at great distances, in the lower wet
stratum of sand. And it appears proba-
BILE that dry gravel or possibly dry, very
coarse sand interposes no barrier to the
free entrance into houses built upon them
of those organisms which swarm in the
ground-air around teaching cesspools, leaky
drains, etc., or in the filthy made ground
of cities.
And from the results obtained from the
two systems of experiments, viz, in filter
ing air and in filtering water, we can now
draw one very important practical conclu-
sion which cannot be too strongly empha-
sized: "That house may be built on a
thoroughly dry body of sand or gravel,
and its cellar may be far above
the level of the ground water at all times,
and it may yet be in danger of having the
air of its room contaminated by the germs
from teaching cesspools and vaults, for. if
the drift of the teaching be toward the Gel
lar, very wet seasons may extend the pol
luted moisture to the cellar walls, whence,
after evaporation, the germs will pass into
the atmospheric circulation of the house. y
