Happy France.

The French government recently asked
for loan of s20O,O0O,OOO. In two days it
was subscribed in Paris, while in the rural
districts S400,000,000 was taken in small
sums in the same time. While the Irish
tenant peasantry are driven to the verge of
insurrection by poverty and misery entailed
by landlordism-a barbarous system handed
down from the age of feudalism, while the
English tenant peasantry, under the favor
ing circumstances of better market and
less grinding exactions than exist in Ire
land, are barely able to exc out an existence,
the proprietor peasants of France have de-
veloped, as the result of two days subscrip.
ton, their ability to loan the government
from their savings S400,000,000. Had a
larger sum been asked, or had subscriptions
remained open longer time, what addi-
tional financial capacity and confidence in
the government these French farmers and
artisans would have disclosed can be conjec-
tured from what they did few days ago
and have repeatedly done since the estab-
lishment of the republic. The remarkable
thrift the French peasantry display is
strong argument in favor of peasant propri-
etorship, and their ability and disposition to
loan their substance to the government is
most gratifying confirmation of the hopes of
republicanism and sure indication of the
stability of the republic. immigration sta
tistics also strikingly illustrate tic satisfao-
ton and contentment which the common
people of France have in their native homes.
For the three months ended December 81
there was a total immigration from the Brit
isb Isles to the United States of 26,520;
from Germany, 37,246; from Quebec and
Ontario, 26,635; from France, 1887. "The
empire is peace" said Napoleon iii. oracu-
!arly, but with hollow mockery The repub.
lie seems to be in truth peace, prosperity,
happiness and stability.

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

HARDwIcK.-Benjamin 7. Thomas seems pecu-
liarly unfortunate, having recently lost three
horses and the fourth and last is sick with little
hopes of recovery The disease seems to be a
very malignant type of diphtheria.. &. L. Hatha-
way lost fine yearling heifer on Thursday last
by jumping from the wall near Judevine's barn
into the river, disabling 1t to necessitate kill
ing it. Being in good condition OF flesh the loss
was somewhat mitigated in sale OF the meat.
morning at about two O'Clock resulting in the de-
struction Of the dwelling -house. tenant building
and barn occupied by F. T. Bridgman, but owned
by the late p. S. Benjamin of Wolcott the
Colonel Earle buildings and Judevine's store
houses all owned by A. L. Judevine. The fire
originated in the barn Of the Earle place and then
spread rapidly to the other buildings destroyed.
Most of the personal property in the Bridgman
buildings was saved, though much, as usual in
such cases. in damaged condition. Considera-
BILE was saved from the old store-house in the
matter OF carriages, sleighs and other light prop
erty. Considerable valuable woodworking ma
chineTy and other property was destroyed. By
hard and vigilant work OF the +" water pail brig
age" the fire was confined and localized to the
locality where 1t started. Nothing is known as to
It's origin, yet many believe 1t incendiary. The
loss on real estate will aggregate nearly So, 900.
The Bridgman buildings and contents were not
insured. Joseph Gilbert harness-maker, and l..
Bugbee, shoemaker, were the only occupants of
the tenement building, the former for residence,
and the latter for a shoe-shop. Llewellwyn
Ainsworth occupied the Earle house, being in the
employ of Mr.. Judevine. Most OF his household
property was destroyed. Judeyine's property Is
reported well insured.

NEw CATTLE CARs.-It is Scriptural II not ex-
actly Scripture that the merciful man Is merci-
full to his beast" and the inventor OF the new Gin
cinnati cattle car has given the drover an oppor-
tunity to show himself merciful, The car is some
what larger than the ordinary cattle car, which
usually accommodates from fourteen to seventeen
head. This accommodates twenty, and with am
pie room. The stalls OF which there are series
on each side, are arranged diagonally with the
length of the car The partition boards are strong
but have such spring that they will allow Of so
we're strain without bruising the cattle. Each
animal is chained before bucket made of galyan-
lied iron. Into this by an automatic arrange
ment, food and water are supplied over each
stall is bin holding two bushels Of grain. When
lever Is turned five quarts of grain are emptied
from each bin into the bucket. The water Is car
ried In a tank in the top Of the car. At the de-
sired time seven quarts Of water are turned into
the bucket by moving lever. The door slopes
on either side to the center Of the car, where at
intervals iron gratings are placed. The cattle can
lie down when they please, and the partitions be-
tween them prevent their interfering with each
other. The ordinary loss In the weight OF cattle
on a three days trip Is from eight to twelve per
cent Those brought TO New York In this car
were out three days and lost only two and three
fourths per cent The car costs about two hun
dred dollars more than one Of the old style.

ASHLAND AVENUE BOULEVARD.
The Ashland avenue boulevard movement
is again being pushed by some Of the PROM
ne1lt residents OF that street, who wish to
take advantage Of the work now being done,
to have 1t extended via Twelfth street and
Ogden avenue to Douglas Park.
Ashland avenue (1OJ feet wide) Is being
paved from Congress to Twelfth street the
full width Of the road-bed. and from Twelfth
to Twenty-secont, a twenty-foot strip. This
will enable the large number of business
men connected with the immense lumber
and manufacturing interests in the SOUTH
western part of the city to drive i'll a few
minutes over good road to desirable resi-
dence-section. Already Ashland avenue has
begun to fill up with a number Of the prom
lnent lumbtrlller. some of whom have
bought tine residences there, and others are
abOutto build.
Mr.. \. N. Ferris is to erect two-story,
mai1Sard. and cellar gothic residence Of
