Never did any young lady SO suddenly
break through all the conventionalities
of society, never did daughter SO quick
ly forget the wishes of her mother,
never did niece so unfinchingly brave
the displeasure of a thirty thousand
dollar aunt, as did Lefty Lounsberry
the instant after she had read this note.
"Brougham," she cried, looking at
him with beautiful, beseeching eyes, 81
must see Rick. I must-I must. You
will go and bring him to me, dear ?"
ct was the first time she had ever
called him ''dear," and, alas he felt
that it would be the last.) For mo-
ment he pulled his long mustache ner-
vously. "We are not very good friends,
you know" at last he said.
"Yes, I know. But I am to blame
for that too" said Lefty, hurriedly.
''Forgive me, Brougham, but 1 must
soc Rick"
And the good fellow, hesitating no
longer, turned from that imploring face,
and, with tugging at his heart-strings,
went off to seek his rival. He found
him, and brought him back to the girl
they both loved.

FRENCH TOBACCO MONOPOLY.

Respecting the French government
tobacco monopoly, Of which SO much has
been written, and which, if not renewed,
will expire on the first of January next,
Minister Fish, at Brussels; sends some
interesting information. There is no
doubt whatever that the French authori-
ties will use every means in their power
to extend the monopoly, SO profitable
has it been as source of revenue. This
is shown by the fact that in the budget
for 1883 credit of 62, 227, 100 francs is
asked for to pay the expenses of working
the tobacco monopoly. At present the
monopoly gives employment to %, ,225
persons, 1,64a men and 20,576 women,
who receive about 5000, 900 per annum
in wages. The consumption of tobacco
has increased from 80, 545, 459 Kilograms
in 1880 to "a, ,917 kilograms in 1881,
or 636, 45S Kilograms in one year. The
value of the consumption has increased
from $65, ,O4O, ,341 in 1880 to $6S, GAO, ,939
in 1881, or $,710,588 in single year.
The estimated net revenue in 1883 is
placed at SIS, 900, 900. The opinion is ad-
vanced that could France be thrown
open to American growers and manufac-
turers, a great incre ase in the demand
from the United States would be noted
at an early day. No reason is given,
however, for suppoeing that such an
opening is likely to take place, notwith.
standing the unpopularity of the mon
opoly in certain quarters at home.

An Elaborate Banknote .

The bank Of France has just issued
some 1OO-franc bank notes of an especi-
ally elaborate pattern, which will battle
the most skillful of forgers. An emf
nent painter has furnished the design,
and the engraving has been executed by
artists of the first rank. The distin-
guished features Of the new note is its
double water-mark. That to the left is
the head of Ceres, and to the right the
head of Mercury. One is visible with
the note placed fiat, and the other when
it is held up to the light. hese water
marks are not printed over. On both
sides of the note they appear encircled
by ornamental devices. On the face OF
the note are draped figures seated, which
symbolic agriculture and navigation.

AMERICAN CHEESE IN ENGLAND.

American cheese is making such q
headway in the English market that.the
Pail Mall Gazette feels constrained to
write it down. It starts with the admis-
sion that the Americans can perfectly
initiate the English article in appearance,
but declares that they cannot reproduce
it's favor. 1t is only common people to
whom cheapness is a consideration, and
who like mild rather than sharp and
singing cheese, who desert the home
product. The uniformity of factory
made cheese is also drawback. It
lacks the pheasant individuality" of the
different English varieties. Yet it pro-
ceeds to admit that the English makers
have not advanced at all, in generation,
and that their clumsy methods render
the quality Of any kind very uncertain.
It then gives up it's case by advising
farmers, instead of kesping separate
dairies, to club together. This is the
virtual adoption of the factory system,
in rather clumsy form. The fact is
that American cheese is supplanting
Cheddar, Stilton, etc., among all classes
but the epicurean rich.

Destroyed by a TyphOon.

Cable advices from Hong Kong bring the in
teligence that Manila, the capital of the Philli-
pine Islands, was visited by a typhoon on the
2Oth, which destroyed the quarter part of tho
city and beached thirteen vessels. Many lives
we're lost. Manila is a city of about 125, 900 in
habitants and enjoys substantial commercial
prosperity: Her great enemy has u herstofeEe ere orr
have frequently made frightful ravages in that
city. In 1924 many churches, private houses,
ETC., were destroyed and the ships in the har-
Dor wrecked, but the number of victims was
never ascertained. In 1928 and 1857 severe
shocks were felt, but on June 8; 1868, most
dreadful earthquake almost ruined the city.
The ground sank two feet; the cathedral and
all Of the churches, with one exception, were
overthrown, and members were buried beneath
the ruins. A number Of lives, of which 1900
is said to be moderate estimate, were lost.
Manila has during the past summer been visit
ed by cholera epidemic which was frightful
in its ravages, hundreds dying daily from the
scourge, which seemed to be beyond the power
of man to check. During the past few weeks
the telegraphic advices have indicated an
abatement Of the pestilence.
