Gambetta,s Defeat.

Gambetta has taken his seat on the bench
of the Left, and Freycinet has formed
new cabinet, made up as follows: De Frey
cinet, President of the Council and Minister
of Foreign Affairs; Jules Ferry, Minister of
Public instruction; Goblet, Minister of the
Interior and Worship; Humbert, Minister
of Justice; Leon Say, Minister Of Finance:
Varroy, Minister of Public Works; Gen.
BilIot, Minister of War: Admiral Jaurequi-
berry, Minister Of Marine; Tirard, Minister
of Commerce; Cochery, Minister of Posts
and Telegraphs. The post of Minister of
Fine Arts, created by NJ. Gambetta, is thus
suffered to fall in allegiance.
Though Gambetta is defeated and has re-
signed the Premiership, he is noc routed,
and will undoubtedly be stronger on the
floor of the Assembly than in the Cabinet.
1t was said at the time he formed his minis
try, and generally believed, that he preferred
the post of President of the Assembly to
that of Premier. He formed his cabinet re-
luctantly, and only in obedience to the de-
mand that he should take the entire respon-
sibility for the measures he advocated. The
only change he had set his heart upon was
the substitution of election by general ticket
for that of election by districts. By means
of this change he hoped to build up great
party machine and overcome the divisions
in the Republican ranks. For the other
projects for revision of the Constitution
he seems to have cared little. Doubtless his
disappointment is keen; but his defeat is
not irretrievable, and only an ordinary incl
dent in the history of parliamentary govern
ment. He is still the most powerful politi-
clan in France, and the most promising can
didate for President of the Republic.

Office has just published a re-

T Office has just published re-
port ON the production of bitumlnous coal,
from which it appears that the total amount
mined in the United States during the CEN
sus year 1880 was AZ, 42O, $50 tons, of which
total of 29,S42, ,240 tons were produced in
the Appalachian coalfield. Allegheny Coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, furnishes over one-tenth,
and the States of Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Ohio nearly three-fourtbs of the product.
The average price per ton at the mine in
1880 was $1.22, while in 1870 it was $1.92,
at cost of SS cents. An average of 431
tons was raised per man, and per cent. of
the years working time, or about twenty
days, per man was lost in strikes. The an
thracite production was 2S,646,99 tons
nearly all furnished by the State of Penn
sylvania-making q total product of the
country for the census year 71,067,576 tons.
England produced 146,61S,122 tons in the
same year.

THE Memphis Avalanche wants to see
emigrants pouring into Tennessee, but says
that they can't be expected to come until
"the people send men to the Legislature
who have ideas, and who can rise above the
penny wise and pound foolish policy which
has hitherto characterized legislation at
Nashville. The Avalanche believes that
$4,000 judiciously expended last year
would have induced the immigration to the
State of al least 5000 persons, who would
have brought 900 in cash, besides brain

sources of the State.

THE remarkable papers in the Atlantic,
Studies in the South, are written by the
author of the articles on "Certain Dangerous
Tendencies in American Life,' Rev. ]. B.
Harrison, young En-lishman. The writer
visited the South for the purpose of making
a minute examination of all features of
Southern social and domestic life, industry
and manufactures, as well as the soil and
climate of the different sections, and in
these papers he aims to report with absolute
exactness the facts as he saw them.

A fuller and presumably more accurate re-

not lost but sleeping::'' "The principles you
then asserted as necessary for the preserva-
ton of the American constitution are as
they were when you struck for them, and
the existence of the best government the
world ever saw, the American Union, is still

which you fought, Be still ever ready to

LEMONS as well as oranges are becoming
an important crop in Florida, and they have
an advantage over the other fruit inasmuch
as the trees come into bearing at an earlier
age-from two to four years instead of from
to 10 years. They are picked green and
colored yellow by sulphur fumes, as on the
Mediterranean. Florida lemons are very
large and juicy and stand above all others
in market.

The census of Paris taken on the 18th ult.
shows an increase of population on that of
1876, when the last census was taken, of
237, ,10O The total population of Paris is
now 2,225, 200, against 1888, 800. in 1876, and
1851, ,792 in 1872. The increase is distrib-
uted over all the arrondissements except
two, the Second and Seventh, where the
diminution has been due to the demolition
of large number of houses, in the one case
for the erection of the new post office, and
in the other for the completion of the Bou-
leyard st. German. The increase has, of
course, been greatest in the outlying indus
trial quarters, where there was and is a
large surface of ground still available for
new buildings.

CONSUL Baker at Buenos Ayres thinks
that ostrich raising would be profitable in
the United States, and, in his last report,
gives instructions about the business. Full
grown birds cost about $1,000 each, and re-
quire little over an acre of pasture per
head At Cape Colony $40, 100000 are in
vested in the business, and the annual pro-
duction of feathers amounts to $4,500,000.

@BIsHoP Clark, of Rhode Island, has been
giving som good ideas about needed reforms
in funeral arrangements. Among other
things he says: 81 think the exhibition Of
the worn and. .pallid features of the dead to
the gaze of curious and unsympathizing
crowd is another custom that is decidedly
out of place.

THE statistics of German emigration for
the past ten years have been published in
Berlin. The number leaving the country
in 1872 was 125, $50; in 1878 it was 103,6SS,
and in 1877 it had fallen to 21,964. Then
there began an increase, so that the total in
1880 was 2O6, 100, and in 1881 it was larger
yet. A great portion of those who did not
come to the United States went to Brazil.
