Count de Chambord is n

The Count de Chambord is no
more, and with him the elder
branch of the BourbOns becomes
extinct. If he had.been willing to
accept the tri-colored flag, he would
have died King Of France instead
of breathing his last in the land of
the stranger. But, he would not
surrender the feur de lys, by reas-
on of its being associated in his
mind with the doctrines of divine
right, and thereby lost a throne.
While we cannot approve of his de
votion to a symbol, we cannot
withhold our admiration for the
stern inAexibility with which he adj
hered to what he believed was
right, and that too, in spite of the
fact that his action upon this point
lost him a diadem. He preferred
to maintain what lie considered to
be the honor of his family even if it
involved the loss of tue highest
earthly dignity, just as our own
great Henry Clay said: l had rath
er be right than President"

The Ne,c York Sun relates an
anecdote concerning the brilliant
Tom Marshall Of Kentucky, which
will bear reproducing. In the
course of a trial in which Marshall
was engaged, as counsel, a certain
ruling of the court against him
gave him great displeasure. On
the impulse Of his feelings, he oh
served, that the ruling in question
was without q parallel since Pom
thus PLATE presided on the trial of
Christ. He was Immediately fined
for contempt of court, against
which he protested most earnestly.
II confess, your honor, said Mar
shall, "that what 1 said was a little
hard on Pontius Plate, but this is
the first time in the history of Ken
lucky Jurisprudence that to speak
disrespectfully Of Pontius Plate
has been declared contempt of
court" -

Indications now point TO the
fact that the plea of insanity will
be interposed in behalf of the Jen
kins brothers in their trial for the
murder of Rev. Lane Borden. The
murderers should long since have
stood their trial, which should re

sentence. If they get justice. they
will probably be found dangling

You will remember that ut Il creamery

brought up and Il "modcl" machine shown,
also how many objections to its practibiIity
were brought forward. At that time there
was not machine i'm operation outside the
creamery of the inventors, but rs faith and
works go hand in hand, the writer ordered
one ana put the system into practice. II has
proved highly satisfactory, both to our pa
irons and myself, as well rs to those using
the butter made from the cream gathered
three times per week. We had twelve route
teams employed last year, five are covering
very nearly the same ground, and are bring
ing In fully more cream this year, thus say
ing some three hundred dollars per month.
Again, this system pays each one for the
exact amount of butter contained i'm the
cream they sell us, and we have mo short

they had in the world except the cloth
ing upon their persons and the naked
lots. In many cases, the heads of fami.
lies are injured. The cyclone entered
the county at its western border, and in
its course destroyed the crops and build
inSs on about 40 farms. Others lying
contiguous were damaged. and five per-

THE Il. Paul Giobe furnishes the
following lit of "inside history in
connection with a recent conspicuous
act of charity. "What pine land
men don't. know about capturing
things Is hardly worth while being
found out. Wee give ok Governor
Marshall and III. l.. Gordon ~ refer
encrs for the truth at this statement.
Mayor Mcdonald of st. Cloud, tele-
graphcd the Governor Il few days
ago that the lumhermcn attending The
pine land sales had subscribed $500
for the sufferers by the Rochester
cyclone. The m0dus opcrandi was
unique 1t appears that Mayor Mae
Donald made telling little SPEECH
Ia TIE crowd, inviting subscriptions,
and as the result the pine lani men
agreed to sell one of the best sections
of pine on the list and allow the
Mayor 10 hid it off 1T the government
minimum price of 81 25 per acre.
This WAS done and after the official
sale for the day was closed the Mayor
put up the section again with the nm
derstanding that the difference he
tween the Sl.2j per acre and the
price paid should 20 to Rochester.
The result was that the section
brought $500 above the minimum
government figure at which MAYOR
Mae Donald had purchased it.. In this
way our distinguished friend. Uncle
Samuel, was minus the $500, but
The cyclone sufferers were the same
amount ahead and the pine land men
had done the handsome thing"

TIE world ut large has been almost
stunned this week 10y the reports OF
most terrible loss of lives on the
Island Of Java, OccasiOned by vol
canic eruptions and tidal waves. The
first reports that came to hand esti.
mated the loss of life ut forty thou
sand, hut terrible rs it is. it was
forced to give way to more appalling
facts. The destruction began sun
day morning, and during the day from
the effects of the erurtiOns and Of
heavy tidal waves, thousands Of
lives were lost throughout the Is
land, and the growing crops were rn.
tirely destroyed. The disturbances
continued for some time, and Sunday
evening increased rapidly in violence,
and the Island seemed almost buried
i'm Il mass of fire and ashes. Heavier
waves dashed upon the shore; great
chasms opened in the earth, making
Il scene most terrible. At midnight
the most frightful scene took place.
An enormous luminous cloud formed
over the Kandang range of noun
taiIs. spreading until it formed IL red
sheet over the vast territory. The
eruptiOns increased, and streams of
lava poured down into the valleys
sweeping everything before them.
Ate O'Clock Monday morning the
cloud suddenly broke and vanished.
When daylight came it was seen that
al enormous tract of land had dis.
appeared, covering III area of about
fifty miles square. The aggregate
loss of life from the different causes
is supposed to be about $4,000, but
the real truth will never be known.
The scenes of Pompeii and Hercu.
laneum have been almost repeated in
this. the most terrible calamity of
modern times.
