A French paper mentions the fol
lowing as q fact: "a shoeing smith,
residing in the Rue Princess, who had
been for some time partially deprived
of the use Of his legs by rheumatism,
perceived that some thief had taken
away q number of horse-shoes. He
was so excited by this discovery that
a profuse perspiration burst out all
over him, which to his amazement,
had the effect of restoring the use OF
his legs, and the first use he made OF
his recovered powers was to walk to
the commissary of police to make a
declaration of the theft.

n. 0. Democrat On the day when
GarGeld's condition was most serious
and threatening, when the bulletin
"no hope" had been telegraphed far
and wide over the country, q large
delegation of Readjusters arrived in
Washington and proposed that the
President should be consulted about
their campaign in the Old Dominion
aud an Endorsement of their ticket Sc
cured from him. The request was
peremptorily refused, with the some
what severe remark that this was no
time to be worrying the President with
their petty affairs. In nowiso abash-
ed by the reproOt, the ReadiuSterS
turned to Blaine aud demanded that
ne. as the Secretary of State and lead
efthe Cabinet, should recognize them
by placing some members of their
marty in Office. Here, too, they met
with bad luck, for Blaine politely de-
clined to attend TO such matters Just
then. and the disappointed Malone
ties were compelled to travel home
again without the least token Of APP
proyal or Endorsement.
