Discipline in the French Army.
1St. James Gazette.1

1t would be interesting to get exac
statistics as to the number of men shot OF
the French side during the war, togethe
with the offenses Unfortunately tn,
| War Office can not, or will not, give AM
information on this head. Possibly M
record has been kept of these executions
but this much is certain, that every Officer
who served through the war is ready
with stories of how summarily certain
generals went to work to establish order
among their troops. Gen. Clinchant, the
present military governor of Paris, was
terribly strict, but popular all the same;
for he was known to be just, and kind
too, whom he could afford to be so. Hav-
ing the command of raw levies, inclined
them promptly that he was their master
Once he issued stringent order against
robbing fruit and vegetables from the
fields and gardens of the peasants in the
Loire Valley. A few days afterward a
couple of Zouaves stole out of camp by
night and gathered basketful of pota-
toes. These two soldiers happened to
be veterans who had served in the Italian
war, and they were brave fellows much
liked by their Colonel; but this only made
their offense worse in the Generals eyes;
'"for," said he, elf old soldiers set the ex-
ample of disobedience, how can we ex-
pect the young ones to obey?' So the
two Zouaves were shot.
On another occasion three young SOL
diers took it into their heads to go out of
camp without leave on Sunday, in or
DEF to dine with some friends who lived
IN the neighborhood. They returned in
time for tattoo, thinking probably that
they had committed only a venial offense.
They were shot the next morning One
more example will show what stern JUS
tice has to be meted out where fiOgging
is not available. Gen. Clinchant had is
sued orders that on the march no soldier
was to climb into the ambulance vans or
store-wagons, unless certified lame or ill
by the army surgeons. The reason of
this order was that number of lazy SOL
diers used to swarm on to the wagons in
order to get lift instead # marching.
One day youngster who was in perfect
health clambered inside van, and was
discovered there bya sergeant, who or
dered HIM to get out. The soldier alight-
ed, but determined to have his drive, he
slit open his boot and inflicted slight
cut on his foot to make believe he had
gone lame A corporal saw him, and by
and-by the lad was reported for the
double offense of disobedience and
malingering When he had been court
martialed, the General gave him a chance
Of his life by calling on him to confess
that the injury on his foot was self-in-
ficted but the foolish fellow, thinking
to save himself by q lie, maintained
stoutly that he had gone lame by step

handed over to the Provost Marshal and

An Eye-Stone's Wanderings.
[Middletown New York; Press.]


The following remarkable incident has
Just come to our knowledge. 1t would
seem almost incredible, were it not for
the absolute veracity of the gentleman
making the statement Mr.. Rufus Miller
is a well-known farmer of this town, liv-
ing at MechanIcstOwn Some five or six
years ago, just before retiring, Mr. Miller
placed in his eye what is known as an
eye-stone, for the purpose of removing a
mote, as he had often done before. For
the benefit of our readers who may not
know what an eye-stone is, we will eX-
plain 1t is small, round, white shell,
about three-sixteenths of an inch in diam
eter, concave on one side, convex on the
other, and quite thin 1t is taken from
the head of crab, one being found under
each eye of that crustacean. In the
morning when he awoke he could not
find the stone He made a careful and
thorough search, but all in vain; and he
made up his mind that it was gone for
good. A few weeks ago he felt hard
growth on the end of the little finger OF
the right hand. He showed it to some
friends, who concluded it was wart and
advised him to let it alone. He did SO
until about week since, when it began
to be sore, and he commenced picking it.
He soon found out that some hard sub
stance was under the. skin, and, digging
away, he finally took out his long-lost
eye-stone. He examined it so carefully
that there can be no mistake. He now
recollects that at one time he experienced
considerable soreness in his wrist, and
| supposes at that period the stone was
pressing in that direction. How this
| little bit of carbonate of lime ever made
that long journey without being lost OF
absorbed, is mystery. That it did SC

As Far as He Knew.

A. stranger from the East was having
his boots BACKED at the postofice when
an alarm of fire was turned in. As he
saw the steamer rush out he inquired OF
the "shiner" at his feet:
club, what sort of water system
have you got in this city,"
The boy spit on his brush, looked up
and down the street, and finally an.
swered:
"Well, as far as I know anything
about it, they all take water after Their
gin !"
The reply seemed to be thoroughly
satisfactory to the stranger. -Detroi

And this is the new New Testament,
And tits come in the sweet o. the year,
When the fields are shining m cloth OF gold,
And the birds are singing so clear;
And over and into the grand old text,
Reverent and thoughtful men,
Through many summer and winter past,
Have been peering with book and pen,
Till they've Strengthened the moods and lenses
out,
And dropped each obsolete phrase,
And softened the strong, old-fashioned words
To our daintier modern ways;
Collated the ancient manuscripts,
Particle, verb, and line,
And faithfully done their very best,
To improve the book divine.

But it is not clear to me

On either side of the sea.

And the touch to my heart is pain
For ten years past, and for five times ten

I've made and mended and toiled and saved,
With my Bible ever near.
Sometimes it was only verse at morn
That lifted me up from care,
Like the springing wings of sweet-voiced

Cleaving the golden air.
And sometimes of Sunday afternoons
Twas chapter rich and long,

THE DEATH OF HOOD.

The manned and broken warrior lay
BY his last foeman brought to bay.
No sounds of battlefield were there
The drums deep bass, the trumpet's blare.
No lines of swart battalions broke
lnfuriate, thro' the sulphurous smoke.
| But silence held the tainted room
An omlnous hush, an awful GLOOM
| Save when, with feverish moan, he stirred,
And dropped some faint, half-muttered word
Or outlined in vague, shadowy phrase
The changeful scenes of cherished daysi
What thoughts on his bewildered brain
Must then have flashed their binding painl
The Past and Future, blent in one
Wild chaos round lfe's setting sun.
But most his spirits yearning gaze
Was fain to pierce the Futures haze
And haply view what fate should find
The tender Loves he left behind.
80 God, outworn, respondent, poor,
tarry at Deaths opening door.
While subtlest ties of sacred birth
Still bind me to the lives of earth
How can l in calm courage die,
Thrilled by the anguish of a cry
Iiknow from orphaned lips shall start
Above fathers pulseesS heart?'
His eyes, by lingering languors kissed,
Shine like sad stars thro' autumn mist:
And all his being felt the stress
OF helpless PASSIONS bitterness.
When, from the fever haunted ROOM
The president hush, the dreary gloom,
A blissful hope divinely stole
O'er the veXed waters of his SOUL
That sank as sank that stormy sea,
Subdued by Christ in Galilee.
1t whispered low, with smiling mouth
"She is not dead-thy queenly South
And since for her each liberal vein
Lavished thy life, like vintage rain.
When from the bursting wine press meet
The Ionian harvesters' crimsoned feet;
And since for her no CALLING curb
Could bind thy patriot will superb. d.
Veal since for her thine all was spent,
Unmeasured, with grand CONTENT
Soldier, thine orphaned ones shall rest,
Serene, on her imperial breast.
Her faithful arms shall be their fold,
In summers heat and winters cold;
And her proud beauty melt above
Their weakness in majestic love!"
All! then the expiring heros face,

Mad missiles of morbid mood,
Hurled at his head in solitude,
No longer wounding, round it fell.
Peace sweetened his supreme farewell
For sure the harmonious hope was true

And in clear vision, ere he died,
Saw its pure promise justified.

Roracic Acid for the Ewes.

bald with boracic acid, in certain
opthalmic diseases having proved OF
very marked advantage in its appica-

has found it most efficacious remedy.
From it's possessing only slight astrin-

much of it's good effects to its antiseptic
properties, with which Is combined a

hereby certify that my boy, ten years G.
age, was taken sick with typhoid fever, follow
ed by congestion OF the lungs. DR.. Dyer, an
eminent physician, of this place, stated that he
thought the boy would run down with quick
consumption. A Mr.. Patterson told me thai

Il home, my wife laughed at me, but knew
that Mr. Patterson meant just what he said

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense OF
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, as flatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspi-
ration, producing very disagreeable itching e
bed, is a very. common attendant. Internal,
external and itching piles yield at once on the
application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itch;
ing and effecting permanent cure where all
other remedies have failed. Do not delay until
the drain of the system produces permanent
disability but try it and be cured and fes

A Poor Measure.

The measure introduced into the Idaho
Legislature for aPpropriatins the sum OF
81 ,525 for the purpose of printing pam
phlet descriptive of the resources of Idaho
Territory would be a good measure Il the
gentleman who wants that little sum do
mated knew anything absut the country
he proposes writing up; as 1t is, he Is per-
fec,!r ignorant Of all the territory, except
a corner of Southern idaho. Another
thing we would Ike the members Of Naho
Legislature to consider, and that is :here
Are scores cf mon thoroughly identified
with Idaho who are even more competent
to write her up than Mr. Strahorne who
has merely made jaunt over the travel
led roads. The BOISE Statesslan in advo-
eating such feature, lays itseH open to
to the charge that It is an interested fac
tor in the measure. That paper opposes
division Of Idaho Territory and annexation
Of the northern portion thereof to Wash
ington, and it cries for large appropria
tion to give 10 man who proposes to
write up the whole, when, in northern
Idaho which is the most important part
of it, he has never set foot. Under the
the circumstances, the best thing the Leg
islaturc can DO is either to kill the Bill,
or give it to some one who can do the SUBJ
iect justice. We have forgotten more
about Idaho than Mr.. Strahorne ever
knew, and Will undertake to perform the
business in a satisfactory manner for $500
less than he asks. And at that figure we
can make lots It money.

In the expenditure OF this money there IL
opportunity for the exercise ot the high
est executive capacity, There is public
business that may DC entrusted to any
man, but il is not municipal For that,
the ripest judgement and the best capacl-

fact will be impressed apon the citizen
when he realizes the large expenditures
and the manifold and difficult duties
which municinal officers are required to

that comparatively few persons realize the
Importance OF securing the best ability for
