From New York city there comes reports that house rents, office rents and store rents are suffering from reaction, but this seems to relate only to French flats, lofty buildings divided into apartments for separate tenants, and generally the costly tructures where the rents of separate tenants average two or three thousand dollars each. In this class of prop erty there really does appear to be decided reaction and downward tendency, and there ought to be.

Dakota is getting a large share of this springs emigration. Two trains day now leave Chicago bound through to that Terri tory, and it is estimated that it's southern half will contain before the end of the year population of over 35o,OoO. A peculiarity of this occupation is that the corners are chiefly from other parts of the United States, fully ninety per cent. of the present inhabitants being native born Americans

Every person who leaves Russia for resi- dence abroad is taxed five dollars for his passport, part of which goes to the pension fund of the army. But it is now proposed to add to this tax further tax of five dollars 8 month, or sixty dollars a year, during ab- sence, the payments to be made to the near est Russian Consul. Persons who fail to do this will be detained on the frontier when they return, and there obliged to pay their arrears, plus ten per cent. compound interest. It is estimated that, ,on an average, about 100,- 900 persons cross the frontier on business or pleasure every year. It may easily be un- derstood, then, what stir this proposal has made in the upper classes of towns like St. Petersburg and MOSCOW

They have apparently got the right kind of
 Superior court in Ohio. The legislature of
 the State passed bill abolishing the Cincin- nati board of health, and providing that the Superior court appoint health commission CT for the city. The court refuses to under take the designation of the official in ques- ton The commissioner would employ about two hundred persons. Thus the court would be appointing large portion of the ordinary and regular officers of the city In commu- nieating their determination to the authori- ties, the judges agree in saying that even if their action in making the appointment re- suited in beneftting the city, they are sure a lasting injury to the State would ensue. The judges also say Probably judges value too highly the importance of their office yet that part of the government which we are intrusted to uphold is the judiciary, and we all agree that if courts should be constituted boards for the appointment of political off cers, especially in a system like ours of an elective judiciary, we would not be long in the possession of anything that could proper ly be called judiciary

great success of the affair IS plainly told
by the fact that the net proceeds will

Probable Parisia n Lie.

There are no double beds in Europe
out of 2ondon.' did not see one in
a long summer tour. A man and his
wife were expected to sleep in separate
beds--small beds. three feet wide, l
asked for double bed in Lugano. when
the landlord assured me that there was
no such thing in town, and he had
"never seen one." One evening OBJ.
served some confusion in the "bureau"
of the Hotel National at Lucerne. A
controversy waa evidently going on.
Presently one of the parties to it came
out IN the vestibule. He was, perhaps
a Vermont cattle drover, a large power
full man, rather unconventional in ap-
pearance. He took off big atraw hat,
wiped his sweaty brow with a red silk
handkerchief and exclaimed: "Darn it
all, Mr.. Segesser, Harrit an me, hes
slep' together now rising 40 year an
you've got to hunt up bed that We ken
both sleep in at the same time, an we
shall set right here till y du.' At this
he walked right down and took chair
by the side of littl. slim, tall woman,
who weighed about 80 pounds, cancels
hair sha vi, speotacles and all. How it
came out Isnever knew, for the vestibule
was occupied that evening by company
of singers and I lost sight of ''Harrit'
aud her cavalier.-Paris letter.

A fligntful accident occurred on Thurs

Appearances indicate that the whole

The veterans of the Confederate Army

The veterans of the Confederate Army
of Northern Virginia lately concentrated
the battle of fredericksburg in Rich
mond, the address being delivered by
Gen. A. NJ. Scales, of North Carolina. In
closing he said: "Let Dixie and
Yankee Doodle live side by side. They
had their origin in the aspirations Of
liberty. We will cherish them both.
Let Manassas, Fredericksburg, and
Charlottesville, Kings Mountain and
Yorktown, live in our memories together,
never to be forgotten. We were unsuc-
cessful. That proves nothing as to the
right. The principle is unchanged. I'm
partial history will vindicate us, and to
that tri bunal we commit the Lost Cause.
There need be no conflict in all this
with our duty to the Union. 1t is the
duty of every citizen to preserve it in
peace and defend it in war, and none
will respond to that duty with more alac-
rity than the battle-scarred veterans
that followed Lee and Jackson and their
desce ndants."

The National Commission appointed
by congress to investigate and report
upon the feasibility of establishing a
national gun foundry, which visited
Pittsburg before their European trip
have returned to this country. Their
journey took them through France, Ger
many and Russia. They report that we
have nothing at all in this country to
compare with the guns abroad. In fact,
there is not piece of ordinance in our
service that should not be sold, unless,
perhaps. it is the little Hotchkiss steel
repeating: gun; but that is so small that
it does not count. All the great foreign
powers are now manufa, :tering steel
breach loading cannon, and soon only
steel guns will be used. The commits
sioners say that we have skilled me-
chanics, good ore from Lake Superior
equal to the Swedish and Spanish ore
used for cannon in Europe-and there
is no reason we should not soon equal
the English, French and Prussians in
manufacturing big steel cannon. It is
not known whether the commissioner,
will recommend national foundry or
that the government should be supplied
by private contract, as in Europe.

A Virginia Election Episode.

Petersburg, Va, Special: Senator
Mahone's life was in great danger for
a few moments this afternoon. He was
driving in carriage from one precinct
to another in company with his son
when squabble was observed on the
street between Funder and colored
man who had, it appeared, been paid
money to vote the Funder or Demo-
cratic ticket. Malone stopped his car
riage, and alighting. stepped in between
the combatants, saying that there must
be no disturbance. He was instantly
surrounded by a dense crowd of whites
and blacks, number Of excited roughs
trying to reach the senator's person,
yelling aud cursing in the most violent
manner. His son, Butler, fearing Tor his
fathers safety, leaped from the carriage
and drew his pistol. Instantly dozen
weapons were drawn and bloodshed
seemed imminent. A white Democrat
reached the senator and struck him in
the face with his fist. when Il reaction
took place Immediately, and there was
general exclamation of 'Shamep All
parties put up their weapons by mu-
tual consent. In the meantime many
who could extricate themselves from
the jam had begun to run, tearing ii gen
eral fusilade. All the part les appeared
heartily ashamed of the violence shown
the senator, who was acting IN the in
terest of peace, and felt that the city and
State narrowly escaped a lasting dis
grace.
