idea of the excitement created in certain
circles by this attempt to give the women
OF the country an education which is
abreast OF modern progress. The
Catholics are even dangerously excited.
An American friend who lives in the
south of France tells me that he believes
that the Protestants in that section are
almost as angry with the republic as the
Catholics are, simply because of the
many new measures which the govern
ment is undertaking, and which, inde-
pendently of religious considerations,
seem to populations long accustomed to
monarchy as sssubversive" and diaboli-
cal. Two thirds of the southern French
would go over with rush to an Orl cans
pretender, should one arise.
But / do not believe that one will
arise; certainly the indications now are
just the contrary; and the friends of re-
publioanisn. and liberty in all things
can comfort themselves by rejecting
that if the republic can keep at work ten
years longer it will have effected the
radical change for which it is striving.
The spread of education has already
marked results in the country districts,
where once ignorance reigned supreme.
If the discomfort at added burdens and
duties can be allayed, France will soon
be numbered among the European
countries which have decently instructed
common folk.-Paris Corr. N. 7. Post.

Such q Nice Man.

Coming down the river from the Flats
the other day was man. abns.t RR years
old, neatly dressed, white plug hat, I'D
gloves and appearing to be real nice
man. AS he was alone, some took him
for widower, while others argued that
he had been disappointed in love in his
early days and had never married. But
he was nice. He chuckled to the babies,
patted boys and girls on the head and sat
right down among the ladies and related
all the Indian legends of Lake st. Clair.
Ever SO many of them said he was the
incest gentleman they ever saw, and one
little woman who turned mp her nose at
the idea of his being too sweet for any
thing was promptly wilted by score of
glances.
When the boat arrived at Detroit the
nice man with the white plug hat had
agreed to see lady and two children
over the Central depot. Oh. no: it
wouldn't be the least trouble to him. On
the contrary, he was delighted at the
privilege. He had satchel in either
hand, and was in the crowd waiting for
the gang-plank when woman's voice
was heard crying from the wharf:
"Yes, that's him-that's the miserable

The nice man suddenly dropped both
satchels and tried to push back, but the
crowd was SO dense that he was pushed
along up the plank. He had no sooner
reached the wharf than his white hat
went sailing, and voice hissed out:
'Had to go to Pontiac on business. did
your This is the way to return from
Pontiac, is it?''
He dropped the satchels again and
broke for the street, but she hit him

Johnny and the MILK.

Johnny's parents are puzzling them
selves whether that youth is likely to
turn out spendthrift or a person of in
tensely economical habits, shrewd
politician or q rogue, and ell because Of
little incident that happened while the
family was recently spending season OF
recreation in the country. The other
night, as they sat down to tea IS usual,
the horrifying intelligence was brought
from the pantry that the milk and cream
that had been set out for the bowls and
berry dishes of the company had all dis
appeared. The first suggestion was, OF
course, that it was the cat, but when it
was suggested that the family kept no
cat, suspicion pointed its withering fin-
ger at Johnny.

OF man who had been disappointed in
his supper, ibid you drink that milk?'

next question in the catechism which

Eyentful History Of an American Frigate.

The famous old vessel New Orleans is
to be sold at auction, and writer we'll
posted on marine matters relates the fol-
lowing interesting narrative concerning
her early history: Near the close of the
war of 1872 the United States govern
ment began the construction OF two
three -decked men-of-war, one at the
other near toy Sackett's Harbor, more
advanced than the other, received the
name of New Orleans-a name sufficient
to fire the popular heart in those days,
because commemorating General jack
sons magnificent victory of cotton bale
fame. The need of frigate as coun-
ter-match to the Lawrence was pressing,
and the government was exerting ex-
traordinary energy in construction and
equipment, since no vessel sailing the
stars and stripes could be transferred
from the Atlantic to Ontario, the rivers
st. Lawrence being fully in possession
of the enemy, to say nothing of Lachine
Rapids, etc. In six weeks from the time
the first tree was felled the New Orleans
was sheathed, two decks in the third part
ly laid. The vessel lacked lining mp tinside
ceilingl portions of bulwarks, hatch GOV
ers, etc. and when the order came tt
stop work because of the declaration ol
peace, it was thought it could have beer
launched in thirty days more time
Illustrating the grim energy of our fore
fathers, let me say that all this boat
rigging was conveyed at great expens'
and difficulty from New York City VII
the Hudson and Mohawk rivers to Utica
then overland to Sackett's Harbor
There were then no railroads. and th
| government road connecting Utica an,
| the then busy village of Sackett's Harbo
was a very rough and rude highway

weighing 5000 pounds, was carried from
Utica, ninety-six miles, to the harbor on
the shoulders of 300 men, who traced
their ways by means of blazed trees.
After the cessation of the war the govern
ment ordered the boat housed to pre-
serve it. A double rooted building was
accordingly erected over its 300 odd feet
OF length, which was blown down some
three yeags ago. Since then the vessel
has been the sport of storms, and pre-
sents decidedly weather beaten appear.

off in the shape of canes. and to-day it
stands awaiting its final destruction at

Mills, Gift.

The statuary presented to the state by
D. 0. Mills is now in the rotunda OF the
state capitol. The marble and the heavy
wooden casing weigh over six tons. The
casing was partially removed to-day,
but soon boarded up again. It was
found that the statuary was intact and
not damaged. 1t has been packed for
more than year and is very dusty. The
exposed and fail portions had been
wrapped In rags to prevent injury. The
group is ok pure white marble upon
pedestal one foot thick, about six feet
long and three feet wide. The figures
are life-size. Queen Isabella sits upon
throne that rises about two feet above
the common pedestal. By her side half
kneels an attendant, who looks eagerly
across toward Columbus, who stands
near the queen, holding in his hand a
globe with which he is demonstrating to
her royal majesty that there must be
another continent. The queens face is
turned that way and bears look of at
| tention. One hand is also stretched out
| as if in promise and assistance to the
bold Columbus, Engraved on the front
| of the throne are the words of the prom
| ise given by the queen that she will fur
| nish the funds on behalf of her own
kingdom of CASTLE, and pawn her jew
els if the fund in the treasury should be-
come inadequate.
The supposed lace on the rich raiment
of the queen is most delicately carved, az
are all the features of the figures, 80 far as
could be Judged in the hasty look given
at the dusty and half-hidden marble. The
hight of the central figure, the queen
makes the total hight of the statuary
about eight feet. The cost was $50 900
It was bought in Italy By Mrs. Legrand
Lockwood and again sold to Mr.. Mills
The name of the sculptor could not b
found to-day on the marble. The dono
is also having the statuary put in plac
at his own expense. AS there 10 no stat
appropriation for such work, the dono
will also pay for granite pedestal fou
feet high, yet to be built. It will take
month to prepare this, and during tina
time the statuary will not be open to pub
lie inspection. Probably there will b
some public exercises at the time of th
unyeiling. Bee, Aug. 22d

An Immense Bridge.

One of the principal spans of gigan-

main spans and nine smaller girder
spans-each of the former 356 feet long
from the centres of the pier, 25 feet wide,
and 35 feet deep, and each of the latter
ia feet between the centre of piers. Ii
is designed to carry the railway, and q
roadway as we'll, over the Ganges, and is
made entirely of steel. The weight oi
each of the large spans is 752 tons, and
that of each of the smaller ones 127 tons
and the total weight of the whole will bs
about G, 500 tons. The smaller spans ani
two of the larger ones have already beer
shipped to India, and the others vii
follow as completed.
