ted above, was deep all over the town in
the evening, when the affair became
known. Verify, the name Negro, or
"nigger," as they call it. is a stencil in
the Bourbon nOstriis. Out of the large
number of Democrats in the township,
about 20 voted for the following ticket.
to which there was no opposition: Del
egates-W. N. Coffiand, A. G. Darrah,
James N. Hunt, Thomas B. Stewart,

$4,000 Gone!

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.-The Chronicle
publishes in substance the following mar
vel. Captain W. T. Swasey, the oldest pio-
neer of the coast, makes statement of the
intense suffering of his friend Colonel D. J.
Williamson, an Army officer of distinction,
and an Ex-U. S. Consul, who was attacked
in the winter of 1862 with violent rheu-
matism. So great was his agony in after
years he became a helpless cripple, and
after trying numberIess remedies, the baths
of other countries and spending a fortune
of $4,000, the disease seemed to assume a
more virulent type. Finally, he was per-
suaded to try St.Jacobs Oil, the great con-
queror of pain. It worked a miracle of
cure. In letter to the Chronicle he con-
firms Captain swasey's statement and adds:
II cheerfully give my unqualified attesta-
ton to the truthfulness of the statement,
because I feel perfectly certain that a
knowledge of my cure by st. Jacobs Oil
viii prove the means of relieving hundreds
of sufferers"

dear, kind, fatherly-looking gentle
man, with white hair, and Of highly
respectable appearance. They both
stood transfxed. The same idea flashed
across both of them.
.sYour face is familiar to me-very

we have met so often.
However the friendly impulse was
carried out. They shook hands warmly,
partook of friendly glass, and de-
parted still ignorant Of each others
name and occupation. But the young
man was determined to solve the prob
lem. and he seized on waiter and said
to him:
@Tell me waiter, who is that dis
tinguished stranger with the long white
hair?''

Giddy Bill Nye's Observations on the Gay
French Capital.


Giddy Bill Nye.s Observations on the Gay
French Capital.
There may be more beautiful sights,
perhaps, than the quiet beauty of the
French capital sleeping in the moon
light on the Seine, but I do not re-
member at this moment what they are.
Looking down from the mighty for
tiications to where nearly two million
warm-hearted, hot-headed, loyal and
yet rebellious, peaceful and still bel
1igerent people are sllInbering, what
memories of blood and riot and ruin
come trooping up in the brain Of the
beholder. Again the air seems filled
with the wild roar and rush of the
Tiotous eanaille, the beautiful boule-
yards run red with French blood, and
the glorious architecture of forgotten
centuries crumbles and yields to the
mad tide of revolution and revenge.
From the early days of infant Paris,
known then as Lutetia Parisorum, when
the French capital was simply an out
fitting point, down to the days when
she dictated to the world in the matter
of National debts and overskirts, we
trace the wonderful career of the great
city. Again we see Caesar rebuilding
the city. In fancy we see him being
about with his coat off and his red
suspenders flashing in the warm south
ern sun. His noble head is thrown
back proudly and across the horizon of
his pantaloons there is a dash of pale
light that shows where he sat down in
the mortar-bed near where the Pavilion
de Saltpeternow stands. Rapidly the eye
sweeps down the Seine from the
Louvre, along the Tuileries, the Rue
Rivoli and the Rue Folderol, to where
the glistening mass of the Vendome
de Charlotte Russo raises its pale
facades. In the foreground stands the
Hotel des Invalides, an imposing pile,
crowned with gilded dome one
hundred and five meters high. I'm
mediateIy under it stands the sarcoph-
agus of Napoleon I. This sarcophagus
was first used by Napoleon. He was
proud and exclusive about his sarcoph-
agi, refusing to use secondhand
sarcophagus, no matter how cheaply he
could procure it.
Moving toward the background, we
come suddenly upon the Bourse, the
imposing coup d'etat, the Palais DIES
Beaux-Arts, the Bon-Bon, and the
Champs de Dofunny. Farther on rests
the Grand Boulevard de Parleyvoo,
silent and abandoned, while down the
river farther, and still beyond the Palais
de Livery Stable, stands the historic
Rue de Crazy Woman's Fork.
How fresh in my memory still rests
the picture of Paree, and what pleas,
ure it is, again and again to bring back
its tender outlines. Imperfect though
this pen picture may be, I know it will
be read with much pleasure by those
who see it and if there should, at first
blush, appear to be a. vagueness, and
as it were, an incompleteness in the
description, / hope the gentle reader
will bear in mind that Tie Siding
Wyoming, is about the nearest | evel
got to Paree, and with a broken leg
and the long, damp walk that street.-the;
out between myself and France, an
afraid that / may be delayed in reach
inc there this fall.
My next letter will be from Rome.
For cripple intend to see as much
of Europe this fall as possible. -DeraUei
Opinion.
