lessor Political Science, Indiana Univer-

ability as historian and political writer
is sufficient guarantee that his book
will be the best, and. since this is an es-
pecial effort of the author, we may look
for something in this line that will excel
anything of the kind ever attempted by
others. Besides the lives of the candi-
dates, the work will contain history of
the Republican party, portraying its
brilliant record through the entire period
os its existence, and fund of other in
formation that has required many years
to collect. This work will take prece-
dence over all others, for il is an author

their companies, the main reconnoiter-
ing force taking moe leisurely pace
and making dctour to the left, so as to
get round Dick Morgan's pickets and
take his regiment in the rear. Wilcox,
who commanded the advance, when
within three-fourths of mile of the vii

reserve picket in the road He pro-
posed to Roberts to make dash through

by the dashing Federals, and before
Dick Morgan'S subordinate, whom he
had left in command, got man in the

rounded by Wilcox's men. They shot
or captured the two or three guards,
picked up all the horses and an officer

tell the story.
Morgan was. wOkened by the shooting

sloping grounds ON the east front of tue

About the time the brigade was con-

pared with view to determine on some
plan of operations against Morgan, a
woman from Greenville, dripping with
rain, and ON horseback, was conducted
to the spot, apart, where the General
and his officers were consulting. Her
uame was Bacon. She was an alleged
widow, formerly of Ohio. In reality she
was an adventures, an ex-vnriety act

4 FEARFUL DIsEAsE.

There is at Brussels curious case of
chronic drowsiness. A man about 40
years Of age, apparently in perfect
health, has lately been attacked by an
irrepressible tendency to sleep. AS soon
rs he stops walking or seats himself even
to eat, he falls into deep slumber. All
the remedies prescribed by the leading
Belgian physicians have failed to pro-
duce any effect upon him. This is said
tobc the first case of the kind in Europe,
although such cases are by no means
rare among the negroes Of Guinea, who
call them Nelevan.

RAGULAIION OF THE FRENOH
PRESS.


In an article in Harper's Magazine,
,i.urge Merrill tells how the press Is
regulated in France. The laws which
regulate the press continue to be very
stringent, though some notifications of
u liberal character have been introduced
since the fall of the empire. Thus all
attacks on the constituted authorities, or
mi the religion of the state, or on either
of tho religions whose establishment is
recognized by law, as well as all attacks
ni,on the sovereign or other head Of
:orcigu state, all publication Of false
i,s~s, all writings which excite the COM
mission OF crimes or misdemeanors, or
incile one class OF citizens to hatred Of
another class, and all defamation Of in
dividuals, are punishable by fine and
imprisonment, while the publication OF
merely insulting or abusive articles, not
specifying any matter of fact to the
detrimcnt of private Individuals e., q
simple iniurc, as distinguished from
,famation--is punishable by fine only.
Tho accused is not permitted to justify
libel by proof of its truth, except
when it refers to some action Of pub
lie officer in the discharge Of his duties
~ such. And only in this latter case is
the publication Of the proceedings at
the trial allowed, though, Of course,
the judgment may be published. This
appears to us very salutary provision
oi law, which might well be introduced
in America.
The deposit Of security Consisting of
an actual payment in cash) In the hands
u the Government was abolished In o.
tober, 1870, but was re-established by
the law OF July 8, 1871, though the
amount thereof is only about one-half Of
that fixed by the law Of 1852, the sums
now required being, for every periodical
appearing more than three times week,
il published in the Department Of the
Seine, "a, 200 francs, and in any other
department. $4,000 francs, if published
in city having more than 80, 900 inhabi-
tants, and 5000 francs in other cases
aud for all other periodicals Except non
political publications appearing not more
frequently than once week), 18,0OC
francs in the Department Of the Seine,
mud in the other departments one-half Of
the amounts specified above. The sum
so deposited as security is primarily ap.
plicablo to the payment Of all damages
and costs awarded against the proprietor
or manager Of the paper which publish
es libellous article, or against the au
thor of ouch article. The stamp duty
upon newspapers, which existed unde1
the empire, was abolished by decree o
Sept. 8, 1870. Every publisher il
still obliged to deposit two copies o
every newspaper, or other periodical is
sued by him, in the hands of the public
authorities. The law of Dec. 20, 1876
provides that no administrative authorit.
shall have the right to prohibit the sale
on the public streets of any particula
journal. But the most important chang
recently effected in favor Of the press i
that made by the law OF April 10, 1871
removing press offenses from the juris
diction of tho Tribunaux Correctionels
and submitting them to trial by jur.
before the courts OF assize.

An English traveller in thin country
relates this incident, which lie witnessed
ut one of our railroad restaurants: At
some of the American railway stations
1t is customary to have fixed charge
for a good, substantial meal. On one
occasion l was very much amused Ivy
the maneuvers OF green Yankee who
was unacquainted with the rules, and
evidently aimed at sustaining nature as
economically as possible. After care
full scrutiny of tho viMids. and sundry
hesitating movements, he ut length do
cided to treat himself to bun and Il
glass of water; and, as lie munched and
drank, could d ,tect selt-sullicient TX
preston in his glance Mt tho gormaudiz-
ers, which seemed 10 imply, "Yts. it's
all very pleasant now, but wit till the
reckoning comes" The twonty minutes
allowed for dinner had almost elapsed
when our abstemIous philosopher
marched boldly up to u beautiful young
woman who presided ut the counter, and
held forth 9 cents, saying, in banter
ing tone:
"Ivo had bun, and glass of water,
tew, but calkilate you don't charge for
that"
FIFTY cents, if you please, sir" was
the young lady's calm reply.
FIFTY cents for bun and glass OF
water Do you see any green i'll this
child's eyes?"
FIFTY cent, for dinner, sir. We
have one stated price, as you can see by
the principal notices. and eat whatever
you like"
The Americans have Eeen enjoyment
OF practical joke; and the spectacle OF
cute Yankee, who so cleyerly over
reached himself, ticklel the bystanders
exceedingly as they crowded round to
gaze on the individual who had been SO
severely Sold" But "this child" was
not so easily discounted. He glanced
at the clock. Perhaps there was still
time to retrieve his false position.
FIFTY cents, and eat whatever you
like-eh?"
"That's So"
Paying his 80 cents, without another
word, the Yankee sprang upon the eat
ables like o famished wolf. With one
hand he secured plste Of ha n, with
the other dish OF custards. While his
greedy eyes roved over distant dainties,
he darted at every dish within ais reach,
heaping his plate with the m 9st hete
rogeneous comestibles, and swallowing
indiscrimina'ely the contents Of savory
and fruit pies, preserves, pickles, vege,
tables, etc. Judging from his voracity,
his object seemed to be, not to cat %
cents worth, but to empty every dish on
the table. Luckily, perhaps, for him.
at this critical moment the signal for
starting was given, and the Yankee,
casting glance OF despair at the table,
started up with red face and protruding
eyes, and, with a>"hunk" OF bread and
cheese in his hand, made his way to the
train, where he subsidized, after the fashion
Of a gorged boa-constrictor.
