GENERAL NOTES.
LOUISE MICHEL, the French reVoiu-
ZIONIST, is believed by many to be Victim
30 remorse for the death OF her husband
of which she was the indirect cause.
Her maiden name was Viotoire Guerier,
and she is now forty nine years old. In
early life she was q school teacher, ana
while holding that position was married
TO one M. Tinayre. BY him she had
three sons, of whom two are now living
They are engravers, and execute all the
vignettes on their mothers pamphlets,
M. Tinayre was kind-hearted, easy
going man, and he and his wife were
devotedly attached to each other.
Through her, however, he was led into
the Commune, and met his death. Since
then she has been animated by two pas
sions only-remorse and revenge.
THE most conspicuous pupil in the
public schools of Pittsburg, Pa, and the
pride of the Chinese colony of that city,
is n Celestial lad of fifteen years named
Lum Yam, who arrived in this country
last November and went directly to his
uncle in Pittsburg. The uncle had al
ready come under Christian influences
and was glad to have his nephew follow
his example. 1t was feared that the
public-school children would make life
burden to the young Oriental b t
their sense of manliness and fair play
was deity touched by the teachers and
they at once became his champions.
He wears his queue coiled on top OF his
head but dresses like the other boys,
PLAYS like them and, to say the least,
cuts as many capers. He obeys the
rules, tells the truth, and makes eXtraor-
binary progress in his studiess.
ALL friends of advancement and prog
ress will learn with regret of the death OF
Amasa Stone of Cleveland, Ohio.
Throughout the West he was known as q
bold and successful railroad builder and
capitalist. But while he was engrossed in
business cases and perpleXities, the gen.
erous side of his nature was not allowed
TO become warped and biased. Per-
haps the most enduring monument OF
this noble characteristic of the man is
the gifts he has from time to time be-
slowed upon Abel bert College, in Cleve.
land. These gifts aggregated over
S1,OOO,OOO. The college was named
after his only son, who was drowned
while pursuing his studies at Yale col
lege, and in It's success the father felt
pardonable pride. Mr. Stone was lons
and intimately connected with Commo
dore Vanderbilt. but of late years he
had not been in full sympathy with al
the business transactions of the railroad
magnate.
IT is generally believed that one o.
the results of the Irish-American agita
ton will be new eXtradition treaty
with Great Britain. Such step would
surely be wise, and it is hoped thai
England, who has hitherto placed al
the obstacles in the way of revision o
the treaty, will see her need, and yielC
some of the small points in order t.
gain greater ones. The present treaty
is the oldest of the existing treaties o
the United States, and n comparison o
this with the treaty with Belgium, thu
newest treaty, which was entered int
about six months ago, shows grea
advance in favor of tho latter. Thu
question of a new treaty with Grea
Britain is being strongly urged, and al
though the exact nature of the CORES
pondence which has passed between
the representatives of the two countries
is not known, yet it is more than likel,
that secret negotiations, with that objec
in view, are now pending.
T"HE Apaches, who have kept up
reign of terror in the Southwest fo
many decades, are evidently the smart
est as well as the most daring of Nortl
American savages. AS an illustration
of their cunning and ingenuity, Captain
Bourke, of General Crooks staff, relate
that an Apache Indian once cut tele
graph wire and inserted small piec
of non-conducting material between TIN
severed ends, of the same size and colo

This officer also says that the Apache
