cover 81 $50 for property belonging to an as
sociation known as the Orient Mining Com

Spain means an adverse influence to
France in northern Africa. Bismarck
shows great genius in isolating France
from the rest of Europe. When Tunis
was seized the jealousy of the Italians
was aroused against the French repub-
lie. One would suppose that the Latin
nation, France, Italy and Spain, would
form an alliance to counteract the growth
of the German power in central Europe;
but bismarck has ingeniously managed
to set both Italy aud Spain against
France and thus minimize the influence
of the latter in the councils of Europe.
The French people erealize this, and their
hatred of the Germans recalls the pas
sionate dislike OF the Carthaginians
against the Romans, who eventually
conquered them. If the French peo-
pie thought they hada ghost of chance
they would go to war with Germany to.

Romance in Real Life.
lFrom the London Echo,


The beautiful and highly-cultivated
daughter of one of the proud old Roman
mobiles, the duke of Gallese, was intro.
duced to the Italian poet, Signor Dan
nunzio. Her kinsfolk never dreamed
that lady of such great expectations
and high birth could run any risk by an
intimate acquaintance with man risen
from the lower ranks. The two walked
and chatted together, but, while the
young lady's friends supposed that she
was talking of intellectual matters, it
turned out that the conversation of the
interesting couple turned in very diff.
ferent direction. The duke learned, to
his horror and anger, that his daugh-
ter had dared to betroth herself to the
poet. AS a matter of course, he refused
to give his sanction to their marriage.
whereupon the lovers took the train to
Florence, where they were made man
and wife. This last step made the duke
SO indignant that he had legal doom
ment drawn up by which he disinherited
his daughter; but the father and the man
afterwards SO far overcame the aristocrat
in him that he settled upon her for life
a yearly income of G, 900 lire. The story
he's since obtained an almost trapical
completeness by the separation of the
duke from his own wife. He accused
her OF having secretly favored the cause
OF D'Annurzio, and of allowing the Low.
ers to hold interviews otter the father
had prohibited all further Intercourse
between the two. He has conse quently
broken up his honsehold in Rome, made
q settlement upon his duchess, and de.
clared thpt he will hsnceforth live and
die as if he had neither wife nor child,

William Gannaway Brownlow, gener-
ally known as the "Fighting Parson. I"
was the bravest man who has occupied
a seat in the senate during the fifty
years or more that L have known that
body. Born in Virginia, he learned the
carpenters trade, and worked at the

and Republican. He upheld slavery.
but he hated and abhorred secession.
Threats could not intimidate him. aud
when the rebellion broke out, the bold
enunciation of his Union belief drew up-
on him bitter persecution followed by
imprisonment. When the Union
troops obtsined POSSESSION of Tennessee
he was elected governor and afterwards
United States senator. He e'was plaza, zed

an affirmative or negative shake of the
head, will be found recorded on every

face was dark and smooth, and there
were but few silver threads in his in

MEXICAN PREJUDICE.

There is evidence that the Mexicans
are daily becoming more hostile to Yam
KEGS and Yankee enterprises. Some Of
the newspapers beyond the Rio Grande
characterize the influx of Americans as
an invasion, and invoke the national
spirit of their people against it. One
lournal-El Biografo-speaks OF the
Yankee as wolf in sleeps clothing,
seeking to plant the seed of dlsunion
smong the Mexicans, and advis es them
"to stand tied together by the slip knots
of true fraternity" Another paper-El
Tiempo-sounds warning in this fash
ion: "The Spaniards conquered us
and with their victory imposed upon us
their language. Now the Americans at
tempt to treat US MS conquered people
by forcing their language upon us. -
Our Mexican neighbors are too easily
disturbed. They will not be overrun by
northern barbarians. Life in Mexico
does not possess such charms as are cal
culated to attract any considerable i'm
migration of Yankees right away. But
if the Mexicans only knew what was
best for them they would welcome
northern enterprise, encourage immi-
grafton, and consent to have the Eng
lish language taught in their schools.
In short, they should hitch on to the
great North American car of progress.

Poor Oshkosh.

About noon on the 18th inst, sparks from
the smokestack of the saw-mill of Stanhilber,
Amos Co., Oshkosh, set fire to pile of
shavings near the dry kiln, starting blaze
which defied the attempts of the few men at
hand to. extinguish, and the hose from the
mill was turned on and an alarm sent out. The
lire department responded, but the wind was
so strong and the material of such an inflam-
mable nature, that the fire spread rapidly.
Within IN hour from the first alarm fire was
discovered at eight different points, making
1t necessary for the department to divide its
forces. kilograms calling for aid were sent to
Fond du Lac, Ripon, and finally to Milwaukee,
all of which were promptly responded to, thus
increasing the fighting force by three steamers
and one chemical engine. Menasha also sent
hand engine. and Neenaha steamer. At about
o'clock Chief Wiesbrod was disabled by
spIained ankle, caused by the fall of tram
way, and Assistant Chief Brewer took charge.
BY hard fighting the flames were under con-
troll at O'Clock, and at midnight all danger
was over. Tue only property burned was tue
piles of lumber in the yard of Stanhilber,
Amos IL Co., whose loss will not exceed So, 900,
and G. W. Pratt, who loses about $4,000.
Three wooden buildings we're also destroyed,
and number of others slightly damaged.
The total losses are estimated to foot up in the
neighborhood OF $4,000 One or two minor
accidents occurred during tho excitement, but
no one was seriously injured. Oshkosh ia fast
getting the reputation or the worst burned city
in the United States, this being the sixth seri-
ous contlagratlon from which she has suffered
in the past twenty-five years.

Writing Book Under Difficulties.

Wilkie Collins writes most of his nov

rheumatic gout gives him such pain that
he can not hold pen, and then he en-
ploys an amanuensis. The greater part
of "The Moonstone was dictated, and
Mr.. Collins says it is the only one of his
works which he has never read. The
recollection of the agony he suffered
while debating it deters him. /" For q
long time, while that book was writing"
he says, /" had the utmost difficulty in
getting an amanuensis who would go on
with his work without interrupting him
self to sympathize with me. I am much
like beast in many ways-if I am in
pain, I must howl; and, as I lay in the
bed in the corner yonder, I would often
break forth in yell OF anguish. Then
my amanuensis would urge me to COM
pose myself and not to write any more.
Between the paragraphs I would go
along nicely enough, having in my mind
Just what I wanted to say, and these in
terruptions would drive me mad. Final
ly a young girl, not more than seven
teen, offered to help me, and consented
that she should, in case she was sure she
could let me howl and cry out in my
pain while she kept her place at the
table. She did it, too, and "The Moon
stone" finally came to an end. But I
