THE adulteration Of edibIes in Paris is al
most incredible. This alone accounts for the
fact, however, that mussels, mushrooms,
truiles, etc, are considered the Partisan 8
daily fare, whether he dimes at fixed price for
fr. l5c., or a Ia caTte at Bignon's. That the
Indescribable substitute which the former gets
dlshed up is entirely innocent Of contact with
the snOut of the Perigord hog need not be
SAID. If he be very fortunate, he gets either
potatoes or Jerusalem aFtichOkes, soaked in
some preparation of ammoniac or uric acid.
The nation, which during the time of the
siege manufactured sausages of longitudinal
strips of flannel, favored with salt, pepper
and cinnamon, and sold them to another part
of the nation, who deyOured them with relish,
IS assuredly Ingenious enough to make truilles.
OF the chdrcuterie which the Partisan eats, il
were best not to speak. Boar's head, with
pistachiO nut made out of gelatine and dried
pounded chestnuts, cOlored green, is one Of the
smallest deceptions practiced upon him. As
for his vegetables, be they ever so cheap and
fresh, he is sure to get them mixed with timed
ones, and the statement holds goods with very
expensive restaurants.

Exhibits Which VIII BE Made by the
Government at New Orleans.
The Department of the Interior, says a
Washington special of Aug. 10, has es-
! tablished headquarters of the Worlds
Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposi-
tion on the ground floor of house on f
street, near the department. A corps of
clerks are here at work preparing the va
rious government exhibits. From the of
ticial in charge it is learned that the Pat
ent Office, Indian Bureau, General Land
ONCE, Bureau of Education, Deaf Mute
Asylum, Pension office, United States Ge-
illogical Survey and Bureau of EthnOlo-
gy of the department will have a display.
The chiefs of these bureaus have entered
INTO sort Of rivalry in the matter of their
respective exhibits.
A good deal of activity prevails in the
Patent Office. Some years ago the office
abolished the system of preserving mod
els, and Commissioner Butterworth has
addressed a circular to the leading manu-
tacturers OF the United States asking for
small working models of various ma
chimes i'll practical use. A large number
OF favorable replies have been received,
and this scheme will result, it is thought,
IN unusual personal interest on the part
Vi HidnulaCJufefS ana inventors. Ihe
General Land Office will show maps,
charts and other information as to the
public domain, and the Indian Bureau is
preparing similar exhibit in regard to
Indian lands and Indian civilization. The
Geological Survey is to put in a most
elaborate exhibit of native minerals and
curiOsities, while the Bureau of EthnOl-
logy will show a complete series of ar
tlcles and models illustrating the mounds
and mound builders. Col. Stephenson,
chief of this bureau, is now IN Arizona
with a corps of assistants to secure fresh
material.

1854, a county convention was held here,
which organized in the name of the Re-
publican party. nominated full county
ticket and adopted the Republican plat

but the surviving members Of the con-
vention assert that it was the first to
formally adopt the name Republican, and a
distinctiyely Republican platform. They
say that no records can be produced to
offset theirs, which they have preserved.
At any rate, they are celebrating the
Both anniversary Of the convention to-
day. The date was postponed from the
1th to the 18th. in order not to interfere
with other celebrations. The celebration
is under the direction OF a general COM

GAMES OF THE LEAGUE CLUBs
Germany Twisting the Lions Tail.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-An act of German
aggression is reported to have taken place
at BOgeida, on the Gold Coast of West
Africa, where the British have a treaty
with the natives. 1t is said that the Ger
man ship Minerve recently visited there,
that her crew landed, removed the British
flag and hoisted that of Germany. Ad-
vices from West Africa say that DR..
Nachtigall, the German commander, has
appeared in a gunboat in the rivers Cam
erons and Billibia of Upper Guinea and
hoisted German flags. These two reports
probably refer to the same thing.
The British authorities from Quitta re-
Gently visited Bage Ida, town between
Quitta and Lagos, and at the request of
the inhabitants hOisted the Union Jack,
indicating English protection. Shortly
afterwards the German war ship MinerVe
arrived there, and her crew went on shore,
cut down the flag staff and removed the
flag, and then hoisted the German colors.
A commission has gone from Quitta to in
quire into the matter. This confirms the
report received this afternoon

that he had never had the slightest con-

nothing of it before his arrest. Francisco

For some little time back there has been
taking place mysterious expulsion of Rus
SLAMS from Berlin. Russian subjects of vari-
Gus grades, who have lived long in that city
ceived orders to quit from the Berlin police.
Some of them are furnished with cards, which
allow them to continue their residence there
for short periods, varying from a year 10 a
quired to depart without more ado. Among
the expelled are Jews and Gentiles, rich and
poor, students and artisans, single and
married persons, women and children, politi-
cal suspects and political innocents, people
with good testimonials, and people with bad
ones. Some of these victims were reused out
of their beds in the early morning and e&rted
away in Police vans to have their fate de-
clared to them. The proceedings are a puzzle.
The police authorities themselves are as close
on the subject as the grave.
