GAMBETTA's INFLUENCE ON FRENCH
PoLICY.-The French press seems dis
posed to resent the assumption made
by the Germans that Gambettas death
is the death of French hopes of recov-
ering Alsace and Lorraine, or at least
tends materially to the abandonment
of such hopes, and the anti-German
sentiment which found such decided
expression during the ex-dictator's OBJ
sequies on Saturday week is strongly
confrmatory of their view. LIE Paix
denies that any change in the foreign
policy of the republic has been or can
be effected by the death of any one
man. France" says LIE Paix, "neith-
er desires nor fears war, but if forced
into it by the action of any power,
would undertake it without, as it
would have done with Gambetta." 1t
is indisputable, however, that his loss
is the loss of the most powerful direc-
tive force France had, whether for
war or peace. There are many who
think Gambetta's sound sense made
him the conservator of peace, and with
out his directing influence the country
may drift into war of revenge lons
before Gambetta would have though
France ready for it. These are alarm
lists however. The financial Difficult
ties of the country, taken in connec
ton with the heavy burden of debt un
der which it is staggering and tn
aversion of the peasantry to wars c
any sort, are the best guarantOrs G
: peace one would wish.

That's a monexpres-

meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever thecause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

it does this by commencing

The Future Of Pap II.

The statement from Lansingburg, N.
Y, that firm there has just completed
a paper steamboat for Pittsburg COM
pany is not surprising. The vessel is
twenty feet long, and will accommodate
nearly three dozen people, and has q
carrying capacity of three tons. The
sheathing is three-eighths of an inch
thick, and q bullet from revolver fired
at it from distance of four feet made
no abrasion in it. The Baltimore Nescs
says that the next thing we shall hear
of, will be the paper locomotive.
Some one has already constructed q
light and pretty paper railway carriage.
Paper wheels are very common, and an
inventor is confident that he can make
paper rails success. Paper ties are
fixed facts, and much superior to those
of wood. Paper houses have long since
lost their novelty, and almost every i'm
aginable small article of common service
has been formed out of paper. Inshort,
where will the uses of paper end? Men,
and they are not enthusiasts, predict
that the day is not far distant when,
from the solid and hardened pulp, every

made from wood and iron. Thus we
see, at least in the case of the former,
how nature always preserves the bal
ance of compensation. Our forests are
fast going-at the present rate of des-
truction some even of those now living
may see the end of them. But already,
for most of the purposes to which we
turn them to account, paper supplies
the place. In many cases also the paper
is really better than the wood. 1t is al
ways less expensive and, in most in
stances, will last much longer. 1t can.
moreover, be made fire-proof so that
when we shall come to build our houses
of it they will be practically indestructi-
BILE at much less cost than at present,
and of course down will 60 insurance
rates. And yet it is comparatively
little while since this fabric began to be
used for other than writing and wrap
ping purposes AS to paper itself, it
may be said to be absolutely inexhausti-
BILE, for there is hardly any material,
from wood, rags, husks, peat, or turf,
leather and weeds to gutta percha. from
which it cannot be made. The poets
have often sung the wonders OF iron
let them celebrate the giories and mar
vels of paper.

Mary Anderson s Lover.

Before we got on the train (writes
''Gath') 1 observed at Cincinnati tall,
rather handsome woman of the blonde
character, and evidently q Kentucky
lady, come to the train accompanied by
a large bearded, phlegmatic person.
These people [ had seen sitting together
at the dramatic festival, and supposed
them to be u newly-married couple.
The train left Cincinnati at an early
hour in the morning, yet these two were
down to see Mary Anderson off. When
they parted the lady kissed Miss Ander-
son, and then said that she must give 4
kiss for ''him," meaning, [ suppose, the
phlegmatic man aforesaid. Miss Ander-
son allowed the kiss to be given. but
without any other recognition of the
man, and quietly resumed her seat. l
inquired of an actress in the car who
those people might be. My acquaint-
ance said: "The man is very rich. He
is in business in New Orleans. He is
dead in love with Mary Anderson and
wants to marry her. Fine-looliing as he
is, she does not give him any encourage
ment. That lady is his sister, who is
doing the best she can to forward the
match"
.'Mr. Connor, don't you think that
girl will make some great, rich, or titled
marriage?'
''Well, | don't know said Mr.. Con-
nor. Her hcart-strings are probably
like ours. She may marry some man as
poor as we are. That she will marry l
am pretty sure, because she has warm,
generous nature, and that will make her
eventually fall in love-"

The ex-Empress Carlotta, of Mexi-
co, sister of the King of the Belgians, is
in much more tranquil state of mind
than formerly. Her splendid black
hair has whitened, but her health is
good, and she has recovered from the
attack of madness which followed her
being told of the execution of Maximil-
ian. She is very fond Of music, spend
ing many hours in playing duets with
one of her ladies of honor, and also
shows much interest in her garden.
When the weather is fine she walks q
great deal in the park surrounding her
Chateau de Bouchant, and plays with a
dog which the Queen of the Belgians
one day rescued from some boys who
were tormenting it, and gave to her sis
ter-in-law.

DEAR INDEPENDENT: Your weekly visits
to Lewisville are hailed with pleasure, and
reminds me of promise made on my part.
Previous to our cold snap we had quite
boom in Lewis river, which opeeed up
new channel through Mr.. Reeds and Mr..
Heitman's farms, threatening them with
considerable damage. understand they
will make an effort to turn the river back
into its former channel We have also been
informed that MIR. Hogue's logs in the big
drift are left high and dry in consequence
OF the change in the river Hope he may
yet succeed in getting his logs to market.
The Vancouver railroad boom reached
Lewis river before | made my return on
"Wednesday from commissioners court.
Right here | would say, thanks to our
friends in Vancouver and elsewhere in the
county for the faithful service in securing
the construction OF new bridg &c at this
place. More anon about the bridge. Yes,
the railroad boom is here. but the name of
the Incorporation 1.-THE Northwest Railway
4 Improvement CO.. Is the the puzzler TO
the many, Some say that is the direction
of the court house from the business center
of Vancouver, and wonder il the terminus
will be Whereabouts. Others think La Cen
ter is the point to be reached. Already the
engine is snorting around Tukes mountain
In its effort 20 reach the spot consecrated by
the blood Of noble red man the Battle
Ground, las we hear by blast OF coniec-
ture, and thence into the grand forest be-
yond. Aud here at Louisville We have our
plans and booming opinions concerning the
grand enterprise. Looking at the matter
from our stand point We would say strike
this point as early in the enterprise as posi-
bic. Erect good saw-mill and use our
surplus water power IN cutting up the mil
lions OF feet OF the very best sr and pine
now standing on the banks of Lewis river,
that can easily be hoated down the river to
this point, where 1t could be manufactured
and sent to market. ! am told that large
quantities Of tins pine is accessible TO the
river A glorious future is before Nancou-
yer If she carries forward to success the en-
terprise she has undertaken. We wish her
success, aud viii aid in word or deed to the
