NOTES AND COMMENTS.

A LARGE number of the choicest shops
in Paris, even such as are in the Rue de
rOpera and the Rue de Rivoi are inlet,
and few, if any, of the large Partisan
hotels are paying their expenses.
WHILE praying during a recent
storm, says the Natchez (Miss) Daily
Democrat, "old Katie Hightower, who
has been blind for fifteen years, had her
sight suddenly restored, and can now
see as we'll as when a child"
To Philadelphia note of rejoicing
that 'the Liberty bells trip is through
the States where slaves no longer serve,'
a Southern paper retorts: FIhe old bell
would toll if it had to pass through Fall
River or the Hooking Valley"
PRINCE BISMARCK will be presented
on April 1st next-his seventieth birth
day-with a liberal fund, raised by some
of the wealthiest of the German nobil-
ity, and invested in similar manner as
was the fund given to ex-President
Grant.
The Wisconsin State Board of Health
has taken time by the forelock by decid-
ing to prepare bill appropriating $15,-
700 as contingent fund to be expended
by the Board, subject to the Governors
approval, in case of an outbreak of
cholera.
The Palatka (FIa) Herald says: A
man and family arrived in town one day
last week. The pext morning he paid
$3.50 for lot, and that evening he had
shanty erected, stove put up, and he
and his family slept in it that night.
This man was from Maine.
10 COUNTERPART the effect of dose of
poison accidentally administered to a
man, near Beattyville, Ky, there being
no emetic remedy on hand, a woman
thought the nicotine found in pipe
stem would answer the purpose. She
broke an old stem, scraped out the in
side, and gave it to the patient, who
died in ten minutes.
DURING the season when game may
be killed, the markets of Cheyenne have
for sale elk, venison, antelope, bear
mountain sheep, grouse, ducks, rabbits,
and other game killed in Wyoming. The
game laws are rigid, however, and the
seasons are short when it is lawful to kill
game for any purpose except the indi-
vidual use of the hunter.
A VERY simple contrivance-but at the
same time one very valuable-is being
placed in the switches, frogs and guards
of the Old Colony Railroad. It consists
of piece of hard wood so shaped and
bolted to rail as to prevent a persons
foot from getting caught in the groove
when on the track. Accidents of that
kind are of daily occurrence.
AN Arizona editor, having got his
rival in jail for assault and battery, thus
gloats over him: "Our quondum con-
temporary is lying as usual--this time
in jail. We understand that the saloon
keepers are moving heaven and earth to
get him out, as their business has fallen
off since he has been cooped. When he
gets out what thirst he will have y

State of California;. The State debt OF
California, $3,0OO,0O0, IS to be paid,
and the large balance is to be used as q

education. Mr.. Stanford and his wife
are deeply affected by the death of their
son.
! NEAR Utica, N. Y, where some men
were at work COMPRISING hay for mar
ket, one of them, in fun, put a lad of
fifteen into the empty compress. The
driver of the team, seeing the follower
in its place, started his horses, and
before the boy could be rescued he was
so badly squeezed that his life is now
despaired of, or, at best, that he will be
cripple for life from spinal injury.
| THAT was chivalrous idea advanced
by speaker in a Boston woman's suf
frage meeting-that women should re.
| ceive no wages, "because men were Gre
ated to take care of the women" but al
opponent retorted that it would be ''a
dreadfully cold day" for a good many
thousand men in Massachusetts, not tc
mention their wives and daughters, il
wages earning by women should sud.
denly cease.
AMONG the fireworks in Washington
on Inauguration night will be large
piece representing realistic scene O
the Falls of Niagara, 800 feet long by 6;
feet high, making an area of 1880
square feet of fire. Think of it Nearly
10000 square feet of fire-almost hal
an acre of flame representing the Falls
of Niagara If it turns out one-tenth as
well as it is represented the fire works
of the Inauguration will be worth seeing
