Here. then, comes i'll the opportunity

more interest in their local elections than
any other; it is more important to them
than the matter Of the dclcgateshiD or

comes home to eyor.9 voter directly. It
IS almost q personal matter, and It should
be the desire Of every good citizen TO see
the Offices filled by the very best men in

the required qualifications.
In this county theI)emoeratic party is
largely in the majority and II has al

many, that Q nomination is equivalent
to an election. This has been the rule,
with executions few and far between.
The natural result Of such a state Of af-

careless. Men may be nominated who are
not worthy ofthe places sought and it can
be done with impunity because there is
m overwhelming majority which in

 WALK1NG AROUND PARIS.
 PARIS, March II. A brilliant pedestrian feat has been accomplished here by two amateurs an American well known in sporting circles as Delatone alias The Man Horse. The American had bet MT. Wilson S3OO that would walk around the Notifications of Paris within three Della tone had announced his intention of following him for the sake of sport Both men did ths distance minutes to spare and be Maj Horse in rather ieEc than two ho .rs and three-quarteras The Mah Loco motive exhausted at the finish.
 It is everyones ambition to get to Paris. The French capital has ever been the home of supreme enjoyment; it's galleries, it's t1e2t-cc, ;ts slirri;v7c5, ;'- ..,.,il,, ;tG e,@J and careless people and it's thousand and one attractions, are enough, even Tn fancy, to sharpen up the appetite for solid enjoyment to a very keen edge. AS if all these ordinary, or rather usual attrac- tions were not enough, our antlclpatlons must be egged on to the very edge of frenzy by notices of such soul inspiring import as the above quoted. To think of the great ex- citement in Paris on the day of the contest j; how breathlessly immense crowds must have hung on the Issue. Three hundred dollars was in imminent danger of dropping into Mr Wilson's yawning pocket and was only saved from that untoward end by the trlt1lng | matter of two minutes How wild the 1 lockers on must have become at this result, and what happy thrill of horror must have vibrated through thousands of bosoms when at the finish it was seen that the great Amer ican 'sman-l locomotive fell fainting, much l exhausted at the finish.
 If such inspiring advertisements happen now, st this dull period, how excruciatingly 1 hilarious must Paris be at the height of the season. 4 suspicious mind might suggest l that the steamship companies caused the mo- 1 tice to be published in order to induce our 1 people to cross the ocean nursing the almost
 certainty that the great event will be repeat ed; it must be admitted that the companies
 have two very recent precedents of gigantic advertising dodges in Barnum's Jumbo and 1 Tennyson's Charge of the Heavy Brigade.
 It matters not, however, how nor why the
 notice was sent the fact remains that "La
 Belle Paris" is offering inducements stronger than ever before for all classes of visitors
 excepting American clergymen, who are mol expected in such numbers now that the ia
 nous ''Jardln Mabille'' is thing of the past
 The suspicion presents itself that this lates
 mania is offered as an offset for the ''Jardin;
 it is certain that both thrive in common or
 the fuency of the legs. J. G., JR.
