French Sarcasm.

Paris, February S.-Paris newspa-
pers are INDUCING in much sarcasm al
the failure OF England's policy in
Egypt. The Journal des Debats con-
slders that British occupation is imper.
alive and urges England to act prompt
ly to prevent the east from relapsing
into barbsrism.
The Republique Franchise ironically
presumes that England is strong
enough to act alone, otherwise she
would never have assumed the respon-
sibllity of excluding Europe, and espe-
cially France, from participation in the
settlement of Egyptian affairs.

Circular Letter From Miss wizard

Inc following letter has been re-
celved from Miss Willard by the w.
G. I. U. of this place:
DEAR SISTER AND FR1END:-So
often do my thoughts seek them out,
and my prayers follow after their pa
tlent workers, that l have resolved to
send letter of tender remembrance
and inquiryto every w. C. T. U. south
and west, which it has been my rare
fortune to visit in the last four wears.
GLOW goes the battle?" This is a
question always with me. Will not
your Union, through some officer or
member designated for that purpose,
write me minute replies to that great
question?
Especially, please tell me if you reg
ularly meet for prayer, that God would
be in the Christian women of this land
to overthrow the liquor traffic, not by
our might or power, but by his spirit?
l am also most earnestly hoping that
you have gathered the children into
Gold Water Army" Our DEAR rsAs,la-
Gordon is now assistant superintendent
of this department of the N. w. C. 7.
u, and will send you all possible help
and suggestions if you will notify her
of your wish. May l ask also if you
are securing biblical temperance les
sons in the Sabbath schools, and tenn
perance books and papers in the same?
The latter can be had without cost to
the w. c. L. u, Is the officers of the
Sunday schools are favorable
Scientific temperance instruction in
public schools and frequent articles
and items in the public press, are
methods of great Importance as you
know. Public meetings, sermons by
pastors, prizes to the children for es-
says, all these quiet educational meth
DDS are doubtless pursed by you SO far
as practicable.
Now, dear sisters, please tell me
what you are doing, and 1 shall learn
what methods have succeeded best.
and how to help others by your expe-
rience.
Believe me, with sincere affection,
yours always in christian work,
FRANCES E. WILLARD.

will be in the next issue of this paper.

A False Marriage.

F. R. Hill, of Wilbur, in solemnizing a
marriage contract in the capacity OF notary
public, has certainly superseded his FS.er.
The statue says that any minister or priest
of any congregation or judicial officer is
empowered to perform the marriage ceremo-
ny. As to where Mr.. Hill can find anv law
authorizing him to act in a judicial capacity
is a matter that puzzles the brains of some
OF our legal gentlemen. While not imputing
to Mr.. Hill any improper motives, we can
see nothing binding in his action, and the
only step out of this quandry into which he
has carelessly plunged this couple, will be
for them to try it again, and be properly
married by some person authorized to SOL
emnize marriage contract. t.-Plaindealer
