The Troubles of Society Paper in the
French Capital.
The Marquise Manoury d'Ectot, lady
who wanted to profit by her wide know
ledge Of society, started some months ago
in Paris a spicy little Boulevard journal
called lie SucciS. She was managing di-
rectress and editress. One Duval under
took to print, and a business man named
We'll to push, the paper. The Marquise
used to come to the printing office on her
way to the Bots de BOulOgne in a splendid
carriage, with two lackeys behind. On
race days her equipage was drawn to the
course by four horses, ridden by postil-
lions. One day the Marquise being at Can
mes, the sub-editor and publisher were in
eLtremiS for copy, and fell back upon
an article by the noble editress,
entitled E'Les Cent Cures Pail
lards." Appearing in Lent, it created a
violent sensation, and all the more so be-
cause it was thrust forward in newspaper
shops near the churches. The article was
denounced as an outrage on public morals,
and prosecution was ordered. The Mar
quise, running off to Belgium, has been
tried by default, and sentenced to a
months Imprisonment and 1000 francs
fine. The printer and publisher pleaded
that they were short of matter, and con-
fided in the taste and feeling of lady Of
quality who had two fOOtmen and postil-
lions attached to her equipage. They were
sentenced respectively to 100 francs and
90 francs fine, and reminded by the Judge
that rank and fine surroundings were not
infallible guarantees of decency.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

ALL the United States Senators but two

THE Louisiana rice crop has proved larger
than last year, and aggregated about 100000
barrels. Sugar shows a falling off. The total
yield is generally conceded to be 100000 hogs
heads.
ARTICHOKE feasts are among the traditional
Lenten festivities in Rome. They are held in
the old Jewish quarter, the Ghetto, where one
celebrated eating house prepares the arti-
chOkes ''alla Giudea" by stewing them in
vinegar with sweet herbs and garlic.
THERE are not many Parsees now in the
world the largest Parsee community being at
Bombay, where reside 10000 worshipers of
the sacred fire. They hold there much the
same position as the Jews do in London. They
are respected for their integrity, their thrift,
their care for their own poor, and the gener-
osity of the Weather members towards OBJ
Jects of public interest.
THERE are, 1t is said, but two authorized
dynamite factories in France-One at Ban
vile, the other at Honfleur; and the utmost
supervision Is exercised over these establish
ments. The names of-the manufacturers have
to be entered in a special register, deposit of
$4,000 francs is required of them, and the
formalities relating to the sale or transmission
of the explosives are numerous.
The island of FOrmOsa is the only part of
the Chinese Empire where foreigners are al
lowed to 20 into the interior and superintend
the preparation of tea. In other places the
European merchant can only buy his teas at the
port in a form ready for shipment, the native
grower going on year after year in the same
groove; but here, by the application OF little
knowledge, a superior class of teas Is pro-
duced.
REPORTS from the northern part Of Maine
are to the effect that the Indians across the
line have slaughtered large number of moose
on American territory this spring. In many
instances the moose have been killed for their
hides alone, the meat being left in the woods.
The Indians annually make a raid into the
northern part of ArOOstOOk county and slaugh-
ter moose and deer unfortunately. They
employ small cur dogs in hunting the moose.
"THE Incompatible flame Of this overflow

GEN. BEAUREGARD's WIFE.


Gen. Beauregard's second wife, says the
Washington Capital, was the daughter of
NJ. Deslonde, who owned the Belle POinte
estate in the parish Of st. John, about IS
miles above New Orleans, on the Missis-
eippi river. She died some years ago. He
has two children living, son, Rene, and
a daughter (the wife of Mr.. LaredOn, of
New Orleans), a stately, beautiful wo-
man. There has been a good deal of gOs-
sip to the effect that Gen. Beauregard was
to be married to Mrs. Vanderbilt, the
Commodore's widow, but l am assured
there is no truth in the story. He has
known her all her life, and while she may
have been flattered by the attention of a
man of his distinguished social
rank, appearance and manner, l
doubt if the question OF matri-
them. Pecuniarily, Gen. Beauregard is
better off than any of the living C0nfede-
rate generals of high rank, excepting per-
haps Gen. Gordon. His income from sal
aries in the various enterprises in which
he is engaged is between $4,000 and $780,
600 a year, and he has made some very
good investments, which have resulted
very prOtitably. In social life Gen. Beau
regard is the most charming of men. He
has the esprit and readiness of his Gallo
ancestry, and the graceful, well-bred air
of repOse which belongs to those whose
position and rank in society is acknOwl-
edged, and these with the Old-sOldier look
combine to make him one of the most
agreeable as we'll as the most distinguish
ed men of our day and time.

This little hamlet became somewhat famous

great credit on the people of the county and
also on the architect and builder, Mr.. \. ID.

The county Jail has but two occupants with
in its walls at present. One is a negro charged
with carrying concealed weapons, and the
other is a huge rattesnake that has enscOnsed
himself snugly in the walls of one of the cells,
and all efforts, so far, to dislodge him have
proved unavailng.
Both north and east of this place there are
large tracts Of heavily timbered pine land, in

been heard. Grapes thrive and do well
here. Fn the garden Of Mr.. r. W. Clements

Concord, Warren, Delaware and scupper-
nOng-growing finely, and before long this
county will probably have rich vineyards
and rank high among our wine producing
counties.
Strawberries and vegetables do well. Just
at this season the farmers are needing rain;
crops are not looking well, hardly up to the
average. The merchants have to transport
their goods by wagon from Alapaha, on the
Brunswick and Western Railroad, a distance
Of twenty miles. The citizens are
anxious for a railroad to be constructed
through this county, and would aid the enter
prise literally, both with land and money.

The death Of Hon. Judah P. Benjamin
closed the earthly career OF a most re-
markabIe man. He was of obscure origin,
his parents being Jews Of somewhat
limited means. His genius was such that
after being admitted to the par
his rise in the profession was
so rapid that he may almost De
said TO have leaped into fame at one
bound. With a remarkable memory, stu
dious habits. clear analytic mind, and
Of fine address, he was eminently fitted
for a successful career at the bar. Be
sides, he was a man Of great courage, and
could. as occasion demanded, be collected
and imperturbable OF aggressive and
dashing, ana had few equals aud no SUI
perlOrs at the bar or on the stump. He
was faithful to every trust repOsed in
him, and his career both as Secretary Of
War and afterwards as Secretary Of,State
Of the COnfederacy, was able and brilliant
under the most adverse circumstances.
At the end of the war Mr.. Benjamin,
knowing he could serve the South no
longer, and could only subject himself to
Imprisonment and many other persecu-
tons and annoyances by remaining in
America, sought an asylum in England,
where he had influential friends. AS
mark Of especial favor he was admitted
to the bar at London without the delay
usually required in case of foreign attor-
neys, became a British subject, and at
once came into a large and most lucrative
practice. His success in London was phe-
nOmenal, and his practice secured him a
comfortable fortune in less than twenty
years. He had lost one fortune acquired
at the bar by the results of the war be-
tween the States.
Some three years ago Mr.. Benjamin was
seriously injured in jumping from car
while on visit to Paris and he never re-
covered. His health has rapidly declined
during the past four or five months and
his death was not unexpected. He has
resided in Paris for some months, and 1t
was there that he died at the age of %.
With Judah P. Benjamin passed away
one of the foremost figures Of the remark
able body Of men composing the Conted-
crate government. Among his most
prominent associates in the Confederate
Cabinet Randolph, Sedden, Breckenridge,
Trenholm and Mallory have preceded him
to the tomb. His chief, ex-President Davis,
and Gen. Toombs, r. NJ. T. Hunter, Gen.
/. P. Walker, Judge John A. Campbell
and Mr.. Memminger, and others of lesser
prominence, are vet alive, though they
are all bowed with age and their locks
are white with the frOsts of many winters.
A few years more and they, too, will have
passed away.

so much character in later years, in 1928.
