Dr. Johnston, we'll known American physician in Paris, has written long letter to Admiral Ammen, detailing the various de- vices resorted to by the Panama Canal com pany to raise the value of it's stock, and to induce the public to invest therein. He charges M. de Lesseps with doing some very curious things, such as announcing that Sec retary Thompson (of President Hayes Cabi net had accepted office in the company & full month before Mir. Thompson really did so. The diplomatic Frenchman also, says Dr. Johnston, took a review article by Gen eral Grant bearing strongly against the Panama scheme, and republished and widely circulated it in France, in such 8 garbled form as to give the idea that General Grant was in full sympathy with the Panama com pany's plans.

The school boys of Indiana are pretty sharp or else their instructors are not. The steal ing of examination papers in advance of ex. aminations has gone so far in that State that the superintendent of education has asked for a law making it criminal offense to steal or to sell or to dispose of such papers.

4 lawsuit between two express companies will test, in Boston, the constitutionality of the Massachusetts statute prohibiting freight discrimination among common carriers The American company refused to deliver for the Erie and New England parcel addressed to a man in Vermont. The question to be de- cided is whether the former is liable to fine of $500. The defense will be that the State has no right to dictate the terms on which express parcels shall be delivered in other territory than it's own.

A Family Of Actors.

Mrs. f.. l.. Davenport, who played
the nart Of Mrs. Dunxt,ln kirke ut the
Orera-hO,,se last week, is u remarkable
lady. She was the wife of the late rel
ebrated f.. l.. Davenport, who died
about two years ago. Although nearly
50 years Of age, she does not appear to
have turned the shady side Of forty. She
has been on the stage ever since u mere
girl, and il rapturollsly taken up with
i,er profession. During her hustand's =
star engagements she acted as leading
lady, and supported him in every city
in the United States. Her ancestors for
generations before her were actors, her
father ut one time t,eimg manager of a
London theatre. She has five children
living, two SONS and three daughters,
and = II Of them are actors. Fanny Dav-
enpOrt IL her eldest daughter, and her
youngest was married only three weeks
ago to the mana 'er Of the Madison
square theatre, New York. The two
aDns are ut present playing throughout
New York State. For y year past she
has been connected with the Ellsler-
Coullock "Hazel Kirke" party, and
the management declare that they could
lind no more suitable person to take her
part. After forty-tive years' experience
ON the stage, this IL no wonder. She
travels unattended. and mingles with
nosot.iety except that furnished by the
members Of the company, to whom she
ia greatly attac' ed and who have the
utmost regard and respect fer her.
