A decisive French reverse is reasserted
by La France, which SAWS that Admiral
Courbet lately attacked Bscninh and was
repulsed with losses equal to those sustnin
ed at Sontay, and adds that the French
met 25 600 wellarmed and strongly posted
Chinese regulars under the wall OF Bacniuh.

erosion in Tonquin have at last Deen
reached aud found to be solid. II is i'm
possible H. conceive why any Paris paper,
OF the standing OF La France, should pub
lish such news, except on good authority
and from actual advces. We shall soon
see.
Mary was buxom country lass, and her
father was an upright deacon in the Meth
odist church of "A Connecticut villsge.
Mary's plan of joining the boys and girls
in u nutting party was frustrated by the
unexpected arrival OF a number OF "breth-
rem" on their way to conference, and Mary
had 10 stay at home and get dinner for
her fathers clerical guests: Her already
rufiled temper was increased by the rever-
end visitors themselves, who sat about the
stove and in the way. One OF the good
ministers noticed her wrathful Impotence,
and desiring TO rebuke the sinful maniies-
tation, said sternly: MARY. what do yon
think will be your occupation In hell?"
Pretty much the same AS on earth" she
replied, cooking for Methodist ministers"
A curious plot, and one worthy OF place
in the annals OF myslihcatiop, has Just
been unrave.led at Paris. An honest TEL
low who was working among the rocks
found, fifteen years ago, a stone, which he
hsstened TO show to jeweler At Mrrseilles.
This stone weighs not less than 200 car
rats. So the happy possessor, like the cob
Ter in the fable, passed his nights in
watching over his treasure. ami from this
time slept no more. He decided, however,
10 have this emerald appraised, went ~
Paris and applied 10 distinguished chem
list. The latter made 90 precise an analysis
uoon the diagnostic Of the emerald that
Mr.. Vanderheym, an official expert. de-
clsred that II the precious stone was what
the analysis represented. IL was worth over
400 600 francs (sbout $50, 00O.) A banker OF
MarseilIes did not hesi,ats upon this TO sd-
vance %, 900 francs TO the owner, whose Joy
was very great. But, slasi when the
stone was taken to N. Vsnderneym he rs
cognized 1t as Q fictitious composition.
The analysis of the chemis was erroneous.
The ieweler Of Marseilles had been deceived
in his estimate. and what was much worse.
the poor discoverer OF the stone, bereft OF
his delusion, has become maniac.
