AN UNHEALTHY OUTLOOK FOR THE

Of Inc Times says:-The Bey has lost all au-
thoritv over the tribes and his soldiers. Euro
means dare not stir out OF the coast towns and
the crv of all unofficial kilograms IS for more

ambulances are crowded.
Typhoid fever is raging One battalion,
which was Cos strong in July, is now reduced
to 440; an equipageE train has 10 dead and %
sick out of an hundred men, and the mortality
in some regiments is 148 out of 1900. 1t is ev-
ident France swill have to subjugate Tunis
inch bv inch Persons acquainted with the
country allow three years for tie operation. 1t
is certain that after four months OF occupation
the French authority is now at the lowest
point. In Algeria the prospect is discourag-
ing.
Gen. Correard was compelled to retreat be-
cause he was surrounded by Arabs and feared
that his whole party would be cut off, as they
were running short of ammunition.
The other French column, which is nearly
at Zaehouan, is in a critical position, as the
Arabs, elated by their success against Gen.
Correard, are surrounding it. Even the road
from Bizerta to Tunis is becoming unsafe.
American Breadstuffs Needed in France.
PARIS, Sept. Competent authorities thin
that the crops of France will fall short of the
requirement for home consumption, and that
the deficiency will have to be made up by i'm
ports from America, thus implying continu-
ance of the gold drain to America.

The Late James T. Fields.

L. p. Whlpple, in the Atlantic, says:
one thing always puzzled me in refer
ence to Fields, and that was how no
contrived to get time to attend to his
own affairs. His place OF business al
ways seemed thronged with visitors.
Some dropped in to chat with him, and
they dropped in every day; others had
letters Of introduction, and were TO be
received with particular attention; 9TH
ers wero merciless bores, who severely
tested his patience and good-nature
On some forenoons he could hardly
have had half an hour TO himself Then
he was continually doing kindly acts
hichrcquire the expenditure Of good
deal OF time
In spite of all these distractions, he
was singularly orderly and method
ical business man. He made up for
the hours he lost, or was robbed Of by
accustoming himself to think swiftly,
and decide quickly on business mat
tiers. At any rate, there never was q
time when he did not seem to have
leisure enough for little fun. Thus,
bhuu u NtuUtlU-
lance of ours, calling upon him one
day at his office, was Immediately ac-
costed with the remark; THAT was
rather hard on Whippe, wasn't itP"
"Whatp" 80! thought you must have
heard of it. He was invited to Well
fleet TO lecture---down on Cape Cod,
you know. He went in fishing
smack, was tossed about in the bay
four days in snow-storm, horribly
seasick all the voyage, but arrived in
time TO lecture. Well-heet ordinarily
pays its lecturers ten dollars; he was
paid five--in a counterfeit bill.n
In his journeyings abroad Fields
made the acquaintance of most of the
English writers of the time, and his
correspondence and conversation re-
garding them showed a keen percep-
ton of their individual peculiarities
He met Walter Savage Landor in Italy;
and in one of his letters he quoted a
saying of Landor's, in which the bar
barrie element in his large nature burst
forth in its bluntest expression. The
conversation turned on London lady
TO whom Fields had been introduced.
"She' Lander savagely exclaimed
"Why, she's the worst woman | ever
knew-except my wife"
