ONE of the legacies of monarchy left to
the people of France was censorship over
the press. The Inconsistency of the thing
has been long apparent, but foolish ap-
prehension of evil results from its abroga-
ton prevented achange; but the passage
by the French senate of bill granting
freedom to the press indicates the progress
of the people Of that country in the estab-
lishment of true republican government
There seems to be no doubt now of the
final adoption of the measure.

THE YOUNGER BROTHERS.

The Uncle of the Desperadoes Calls Upon Gov.
Pillsbury to Solicit Their Pardon or Re-
mission Of Part of Their Sentence-The Gov
erDor Frankly and Firmly Refuses the Re-
quest.
From the st. Paul Pioneer Press 9th.
There appeared in Gov Pillsbury' room yes
terday afternoon, TALL thin, elderly man
whom, at glance you would have classified as
one of the southerners of the middle classes
under the old regime. he bears name hate
full to the ears of Minnesotians, but is himself,
to all appearance, inofensive, open-hearted
and well meaning. His name is Littleton
Younger and he is own brother to Henry W.
Younger, father of the three men, Coleman,
tiary and sentenced to stay there during the
rest of their natural lives. Littleton, uncle to
the prisoners, is veritas le pioneer, and form
erly living i'll Jackson county. missouri the
entertainments of civilization so disturbed him
that he sought in far of Oregon the seclusion
his soul coveted. Age advanced apace, how
ever, there, as in the Mississippi valley, and
desirous of seeing his relatives once more er e

of kinship visitation. There his gym

and the manner of it, had much to do with the
subsequent crimes of the sons. First
he visited the men in prison and
yesterday, as stated, had an audience
with Gov Pillsbury The governor read the
letter through carefully, listened to what the
old man had to say, and then told him with q
franknese. which was the best method under
the circumstances, that he had nothing OF en-
couragement to offer; that on no account would
he, for one minute, consider the propriety of
pardoning the prisoners or renting any of the
sentence imposed upon them. The governor
became really eloquent as he talked and re-
membered the circumstances of the crime
s'Your age and manifest feeling" said he.
''move my pity. but when think
of poor Haywood. the cashier, refusing
with a heroism that has no parallel to forsake
his trust, and when remember how your
nephews shot him down in the coolest blood,
indignation takes the place Of pity, and instead
of feeling that they have been punished srf-
ficiently, am more and more inclined to feel
that death would have been juster and more
righteous penalty" The old uncle freely ac-
knowledged that he could blame no one for en-
Pertaining such feelings, and thanking the gov
ernor for the kindness extended him, he sadly
bade him adieu and left the building.

A Parallel Case to Garfield's.

Mr. P. G. j. Cheney, travelling salesman
fol Boston firm, while sojourning in Mime
apolis, gave brief history of his own case as
follows:
During the war. Mr.. Cheney was lieutenant
in the First Vermont cavalry, and on Jnly 8,
1868. he was shot through the body 1t Gettys-
burgh by an Il ounce mimic ball, which en-
tered about two inches to the right Of his back
bone, just below the lower rib, and came out
about three inches to the right of the navel,
Embedding itself in his watch case The lieu
tenant says that fragments of clothing shot in
to the wound came out by suppuratiop in front
in three months after the injury, and the wound
was six menths in healing. It was seventy five
days before he could stand erect, and some
physicians have claimed that his liver was
pierced, while others assert the contrary. He
thinks the wound very similar to that Of the
president, with the advantage, however, in his
case, the ball having passed through. At the
time of the wound Mr.. Cheney weighed 2I6
pounds and now weighs 249. For months af-
terward he was sharply effected by the water
or tea he drank. The region of the wound be-
ing painfully sensitive. Even at this late day
his back is purple for q space of ten inches
about the scar on account of detection in cir
culation

cause it made him out vulgar brawl-

Hutton.

In an economical point of view NUT
ton is the cheapest meat used; it's also
the healthiest, at least, it is claimed SO
by physicians who have studied the
workings Of various meats upon the
human system. The poor as well az
the rich can afford the choicest parts
of the mutton carcass. Farmers well
understand the profits of early lambs
of the best quality for the butcher. 1t
is one of the most interesting and profit
able branches of sheep industry in loca-
tons accessible to market. At IL or
Is weeks, properly fed. they will weigh
10 to II pounds per quarter, and read
ilv bring from So to IS each. The
amount of lamb in the market, how
ever, is sometime s very liberal--in fact,
more liberal than the conditions would
seem to warrant. But when a customer
at the restaurant calls for roast spring
lamb and gets mutton, and don
know the difference, why, it's all the
same, you know.

SINGING AND slGHING

charming little maiden
Sat one glorious Summer day
Beneath grand old oak tree
And sang her life away.
She sang Of the angels in Heaven,
She sang of the birds and the flowers,
She saIg Of people and nations
She sang of sunshine and showers.
And her song was Of blessings and pleasures
And of Joys which her heart never knew
And her song was Of riches and treasurs,
And of lovers knightly and true.
But she sang never a word of sorrow,
Nor of life's toilsome carewo,n ways,
And she sang never word of tears and signs,
Nor of long wearisome, anxious days.
So she prayed for the days to pass swiftly,
And she longed tor the hours 10 fly
So in singing she dreamt of the future
And the sweet, joyous, glad by and by.
Oh. foolish little maiden,
Thou art happier now than when
Thy life will be filled with signing
For the joys which might have been.
For life begins in the sunshine,
But storms will come at last,
And some have storms through lifetime,
And Others have sweet calm rest
May your future lead you in the pathways
Ever bright with the glad sunlight;
Nay your life be n song with no signing,
Ever free from sorrows dark night.
But now, my sweet little singer
Make most OF the life which is thine,
And live like the angels you sing Of
