Paris, 9.-The Chinese ambassador

1t is stated that the Marquis Tseng has
autographed Pekin for further considers

the ronquin question. The answer ia
expected on Thursday. 1t is denied that
England or America has offered to medi-

Washington, 9.--The Daily Telegraph
has the following from Paris: It is
affirmed that a telegraph was sent from
Paris to Pekin yesterday evening, ask
ing the minister to sound the Chinese
government on the subject Of American
arbitration, if such we're suggested by
France. Ths Telegraph sdde1 that
Earl Granville was advocating British
arbitration, but the moment had arrived
to assert the commercial influence Of
America in the Chinese seas. The Tel
e9raph says: The.foregoing dispatch may
have been sent, but it is most unlikely
that it emsnated from official sources.
The American legation here would
hardly have forwarded it on its own
responsibility, and had the United States
government desired 10 sound China, it
3Would have commit icsted directly with
he American minister at Pekin.
Hong Kong, 9.-lt is reported that tbs
Chinese are erecting detences between
Canton and the mouth Of the river. The
question here now is not, will there be
war? but when and where will it begin?
Paris, l0.-FTgGTo states thai second
interview took place between ChSllomel
Lsceur, French Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, and Marquis Tseng, Chinese
ambassador, at which the question Of the
location of the frontier OF Tonquin was
discussed. The conference, however,
concluded without any defDite results.

made in the Figaro on Saturday, touching
The propositions submitted by the Chi

The Paris Temps, 10 an editorial,
recommends that during the pending ne
gotistions between Cnsllomel Lacour
and Marquis Tslng, the dispatch of rein
forcements to Tonquin should be con-
tinued with Unsbated vigor.
The Times, commenting on the above
| Recommendation, expresses the fear that
such action might cause the Chinese
government to think France Wa only
trying to gain time. and It might thvart
the design by suddenly beginning kostili'

BEHIND THE BARS.

The roses bloom in the garden,
The bee comes wooing the flowers;
The song-bird pipes to his nest-mate
Through all the golden hours.
The breeze is freighted with fragrance
From forest and field and lea,
But youth has fled
And hope lies dead,
So what is it all to me?
The bluebird rocks in the tree-tops,
Free as the summer air,
Swings and sways and MARBLES
With never a f1utter of care;
Memories never haunt him,
No thought of the morrow has he;
But the guarded wall,
Like sombre pail,
O'ershadows it all for me.
/ sit in the growing twilight
And gaze on the evening sky,
On the glorious sunset banners
That athwart the hill-tOps fly,
Till the diamond eyes of Heaven look down
On the bondmen and the free;
But see the stars
Through prison bars,
So what is it all to me?
All the flowers have lost their perfume,
The summer breeze il chill,
The bees are naught but gluttons,
And harsh the song-bird's thrill;
In the mighty voices of Nature,
OF earth, or heaven, or sea,
There's naught of cheer
For the convict's ear;
What, what is it all to me?

Indians Who Are Shrewd Buyers.

/ watched some Indians shopping
and was astonished to see how invaria-
bly, they waived aside inferior goods
and chose such material as merinos at
$3.50 to 81 Il yard. One of the mer-
chants told me it was useless to offer
them anything but the best. An In
dian, who could not speak English or
French, and wanted five things, divi-
ded his money according to his idea of
their relative cost in little piles on the
counter, and going through a panto-
mine descriptive of his wants, was
handed some silk handkerchiefs. TAX

his head vigorously, muttering an ugh"
of disgust. When shown better one
he was doubtful but much superior
article being produced, he took it, and
Willingly handed over one pile for it.
This. however, was too much, and when
given the change he put it on one of the
other piles, and proceeded in the same
wav to make the rest of his purchases.
"How easily they could be cheated;" |
said to the clerk, after the Indian had
I left. NO he replied, mot so easily

"Wasn't That Clever?"

There is story told to illustrate the
ruling passion of the parrot, which may
or may not be true, but it is as follows
Two sailors once went with a tame
parrot to a show in Toxic, where Jap
snese was giving an exhibition of
sleight-of-hand; interspersed with aero
batic teats. At the end of each trick
the sailors said:
"Now isn't that clever? Wonder what
he'll do next?"
With each act of the performance
their establishment increased, and they
kept muttering, wonder what he'll do
ne1t?" The parrot heard this exclama-
tion SO often that he picked it up.
Presently the Japanese tried to keep
in the air q number of bamboo sticks ig-
nited at both ends but having his atten-
tion distracted, he allowed one Of the
sticks to drop.
Unfortunately, 1t fell upon heap of
fire crackers, bombs, etc., which explod-
ed, blew out the walls. blew off the roof,

what he'll do next?"

When Lafayette paid a visit to the
United States he intimated his desire to
become master of an opossum, and a
Baltimore editor gladly undertook to see
that the General had one to take home
with HIM. Anxious to make the most
of the occasion, he proclaimed his want
in highly-spiced appeal to his country
men, urging them to prove that repub-
lies were not always ungrateful. They
responded cheerfully-too cheerfuliy =
to the appeal. Opossums came in from
north and south, east and west, until the
overwhelmed journalist found himself
possessed of 2,199 too many. He could
not afford them separate accommoda
lion, he dared not lodge them together
so. at night, he turned them all loose in
Monument Square to quarter themselves
as they listed. Next day 'possums were
here, there and everywhere in Bxlti-
more, to the delight of the black and the
disgust of the white citizens, who fer.
vently wished that Lafayette had never
heard of an opossum, or that the editor
had executed his commission with more
discretion.-All the Year Round.

man once took the conceit out of him
entirely. He was driving alone in his
buggy on Walnut Hills when he de
scried an Irish neighbor on the pike
some distance from his home. Pat ac.
cepted kind invitation to ride. The
conversation turned upon Ireland. Pat
sighed for old Ireland, which he had
left twenty years ago, and elOquently
expatiated on its superiority to Ameri-
ca. The Judge kindly combatted his ex.
ordium. and described the great advan-
tages of America for Irishmen. BY way
of n clincher, he illustrated the social
differences Of the two countries. by re-
marking, For instance, it would be a
long time in Ireland, Pat, before you
would be invited to ride with a Judge
of the Supreme Court of the country"
True for you, Yer Honor" quoth Pat,
innocently, "but 'twonld be a long time
in Ireland before the loikss of Yer Hon.
or wud be elected Supreme Judge of
