Minister Romero thus describes
the progress that is being made in
public sentiment in Mexico touching
the friendly feeling of the people of
that country toward the United
States: 1T has been true, and to
limited extent is yet true, that the
masses of my people are prejudiced
against the people of the United
States They once labored under
the impression that any encourage
ment of friendly relations with this
country would result in an abridge-
ment of their liberty, for it will take
many more years to blot out the
memory of Gen. Taylor. They
were fearful of conquest and result
ant annexation. But the railroads
are rapidly changing all this. The
masses are learning that the Ameri-
can people only want their trade,
not their territory, and almost a
complete revolution in sentiment has
taken place This business of rail
reading is yet novelty to our peo-
pie, and there ought to be some
charity exercised If we have not yet
adjusted our own laws, our tradi-
tions, and our prejudices to the new
order Of things. The time has al
most arrived when Mexico and the
United States may clasp hands over
a commerce that viii have no equal
on the earth"

Dolly Madison's Trick.

Dolly Madison, the brilliant and
beautiful wife OF the fourth president,
rather imposed upon Mr.. Madison dur
ing their courtship. and the blind god
of love made him believe her 10 be
much more intellectual than she real
ly was. He was in doubt, however,
and he determined to test her. To do
so be sent her a philosophical
book to read just as he was about to
leave for Virginia, and asked her to
send him written opinion of its mer-
its after she had read it. Madison, by
the way, was at this time a member OF
congress at Philadelphia, and he was
boarding at the homo of his sweet
heart. who was then a buxom young
widow with her husband hardly cold
in the grave. As soon as he left for
Virginia. the sly Dolly took the book
to Col. Aaron Burr. She told him OF
her predicament and It'd him TO write
the letter for her. OF course it was Il
masterpiece, as Burr was one of the
most cultured and scholarly men OF
his age. She then mailed the letter to
Madison at Montpelier. He was de-
lighted with the wonderful intelli-
gence it exhibited, and he proposed
instanter upon his return to Philadel-
phia. She was an able wife and enz
tertained as we'll if not better than
any other presidents wife since that
time. The fashionable world went
wild over her beautiful dresses, and
her turbans alone cost over 81, 200 a
year. =" Carp" ia ClepeIand Leader.

The French Press.

The material cost of a newspaper
managed on the French system is very
small. In the first place not more than
half dozen papers in Paris are printed
from their own type and on their ma
chimes. The majority have editorial
rooms in modest quarter, and the pa
per is composed and printed in one of
the great printing establishments in
the neighborhood of the Rue Montmar
tire, which contract to deliver 10000
copies of large four-page journal for
about 1900 francs.
The advertising space is formed en-
bloc by one of three advertising agen-
cies, which negotiate all kinds of
strange arrangements with financial
companies, and bring the force of their
monopoly to bear against any independ-
ent paper that attempts to break
through the bonds of routine and to in
troduce our Anglo-Saxon system of
cheap and direct advertising. But a
paper which abides the traditions finds
no difficulty in coming into the world
or in going out Of the world. Rarely a
week passes without new journal APP
pearing or an old one disappearing,
and all this mushroom growth does
not imply the displacement of any
great capital. With a few thousand
francs you can publish few numbers,
which are sold with discount of q, 2,
or u confines to the vendor, who re-
tails them for Is, 10 or confines. If
the journal succeeds a little all is well;
if it does not succeed the disaster is
not great. Now in Paris you can al
ways find a man ready to give 100000
francs, which is quite sufficient, accord
ing to French notions, to start a new
journal; and not only every political
group, but every fraction of a group,
and indeed almost every prominent
senator and deputy, wishes to inspire q
paper and to command an organ in
which to carry on his own private po-
litioal campaigns and intrigues. Hence
the great number and variety of news
papers in Paris and in the provinces
some tiourishing, most of them strug-
Cling, many of them moribund and
merely kept up as the mouthpiece Of
narrow political groups or to serve
private interests and personal ambi-
tons. In the case OF the party and
personal ISanS tIe o"Hei are ueiISH'oo
if at the end OF the year the deficit does
not exceed $4,000 or f5, 1000. In France
it costs no more to keep Il daily "polit
ical, financial, and literary" newspa-
per than it does to keep a steam yacht,
an elegant mistress, or pack of deer
hounds; and the newspaper has this
adyantage-that it may lead to all
sorts of things, even to the presidency
of the republic. -Foptnightly.

Congressman LAWYERS HOLSTERS.

When Congressman Lawler, of Chi
cage, made his first visit to New York
some years ago friend invited him to
restaurant, where they called for
soft-shell crabs. Lawler had never
seen any before, and did not know
what they were. He liked them, how
ever, and few days afterward, wish
ing to regale himself again with some
of the toothsome crustaceans. he hunt
ed up the restaurant, walked in, and
sat down at table; bGt he had for
gotten the name of the food he desir-
ed. Looking over bill OF fare he saw
''lobstcrs. He called the waiter and
said: '.Waiter, have you any lob
sters?" Yes" said the waiter.
Bring me a dozen," said Lawler.
"a dozen! exclaimed the waiter in
establishment. LAWYER saw that he
had made mistake. but he was not
going to admit it. ''Confound you"
he said, don't you suppose l know
what l want? Bring me a dozen"
The table was cleared of everything
that was on it aud LAWYER pitched in.
He ate all he possibly could, called for
a glass of brandy. looked up at the
waiter and said: waiter, / was not

Nuisances i'm Novels.

l tell you frankly that | can scarcely
think of dozen modern French
novels in which | should not like to
cut out whole passages, sometimes
whole chapters, from Balzac to Daudet.
Let me explain myself and recapitulate
what | consider sins of the modern
French novel One of these, fortu-
nately rare, but gaining ground every
day, can be dismissed at once; l mean
the allusion to particular kinds of evil
which are so exceptional and abror-
NAL that any practical advantage de-
rivable from knowledge of them must
inevitably be utterly outweighed by
the disadvantage of introducing into
the mind vague and diseased suspi-
cions. The other principal sins of
modern French noveiists are, to my
mind, first, the presentation of re-
markable evil without any comment
on the part of the author, or without
any presentation of remarkable good
to counterbalance, by its moral and
aesthetic stimulus, the enervating effect
of familiarity with evil. The sight of
evil is not merely necessary if evil is
to diminish; it is wholesome if it
awakens indignation; it is good for US
to maintain our power of taking ex-
ception, of protesting, of hating; it is
good for us, in moral matters, to have
the instinct of battle. But this be-
comes impossible if evil is represented
as the sole occupant of this earth. In
that case we no longer have anyone to
fight for, and we run the risk of for
getting how to fight for ourselves. So
much for the demoralizing effect of the
pessimistic Misrepresentation, or at all
events, the representation of an IN
fair specimen of life. 1t distinctly di-
minishes our energies for good. The
other, and l decidedly think even
worse, great sin of French novelists is
their habit of describing the physical
sides of love or, of what people call
love, whether it be socially legitimate
Or socially illegitimate. Such descrip-
tons are absolutely unnecessary for
the psychological completeness of
their work, since they drag the mind
and the intellectual emotions into re-
gions below their cognizance, and
cram them with impressions which
they can never digest, which remain
as mere foul nuisance; besides, by
stimulating instincts which require
not stimulation, but repression, they
entirely betray the mission of all in
tellectual work, which is to develop
the higher sides of our nature at the
expense of the lower. There is not
single description of this kind which
might not most advantageously be
struck out, and could have gone Oh
my knees to Flaubert to supplicate
him to suppress whole passages and
pages of Mime. Bovary," which l
consider most moral and useful
novel. Vernon Lee, in The Contenp0-
rary RevieO.

A Boat Built III Alaska.

During this last winter on the Yu-
kon, Mr.. Farciot performed a task
which it will be hard to find equaled in
the history of mechanics. He built a
boat and an engine with which to pro-
pei it, having at his disposal only the
wood obtainable in the vicinity, few
lengths OF gas-pipe, taken from this
city to be used in mining operations,
one or two files and rachel, with a
few wood-cutting tools. With such
materials aud tools he constructed
propeller which carried him at the rate
OF seven knots an hour. 1,20O miles
and which can now lie seen in the ma
chinery department at the Mechanics
pavilion, where it was placed a few
days ago. The engine is composed
wholly of pieces of gas-pipe, as one can
see by inspecting it. The cylinder is
gas-pipe, the rods and all the iron
work are gas-pipe, except the propeller
and its center, the former being beaten
iron, and the latter iron nuts. 1t is as
ingenious piece of mechanism as was
ever built, and has proved as effective
as it is ingenious. He intended to place
the engine in a bark canoe, but not be-
ihS awe W uuIiu one SlionS enough, ne
constructed a wooden boat about fif-
teen feet long, in which he made the
descent of the Yukon to its mouth, and
thence around by sea to st. Mchaels.
During this trip by sea he encountered
a storm which made an old sea-captain
who accompanied him shed tears of
alarm as salt as the spray with which
he was deluged. But the little pro-
peller brought both safe to port, and
was subsequently brought down to
San Francisco by Lieut.. Stoney.

CraWfiShing in Oregon.

1t has just begun to dawn on this
community that the rivers and streams
in this section are alive with crawfish.
and that these insects which wear their
skeletons on the outside are delicious
eating. The business of catching them
has heretofore been confined princi-
pally TO gang of maquereau, the
natural make and temper of Oregon
ians making ''crawf shing" distasteful
business for them. But now many
people have supplied themselves with
nets and traps of various kinds, and
the crawtish has to suffer. 1t is no
trick at al, for fellow armed with
half dozen iron hoops filled with net
ting to catch two or three hundred in
an afternoon. A day or two since two
men went few mics down the river
and caught sixteen hundred. which
We're shipped to San Francisco. where
they commanded a high price-5O to
- cents per dozen. Here they sell in
the markets for two bits a dozen.
Many OF them are from six to ten
inches in length from tip to tip, and
some are over foot, Boiled in wine
and spices they are fine, and they make
a salad fit Tor an cpicure. Some of
these days the business of catching
crawtish will be remunerative here.
Even now a few men could make
money at it.-i ortiand OreQOnian.

The Test of Bravery.

Let child or woman fall overheard
and dozen men are ready to spring
after and save them. That is bravery,
but it is bravery born in impulse. Let
human face appear at the window Of a
burning building and dozen men will
risk their lives in the effort TO extend
help. That is bravery, but it is
bravery born of pity and excitement
Let man but hear the cry Of woman in
peril. and he will rush TO her rescue
and deliver her at any cost. That is
bravery, but it is the bravery of honor
and chivalry. Let man be surrounded
by wolves and all escape cut off, and
he will fight until pulled down. That
is bravery, but it is the bravery of
despair.
1t is the battlefield which tests
mans courage. A regiment is in line
on the edge of a wood. Half mile
away is another wood. Between the
two is a meadow bare of the slightest
shelter. The regiment is ordered to
advance. As the line moves out into
the clear sunlight every man will
reason to himself:
1.-The enemyis posted in the opposite
timber. Before we are half way over
he will open on us with shell. One
battery will cover our regimental front.
This is my last day!"
SO each man reasons, but every face
is sternly set to a 'front.' and not
foot misses step as the line pushes
across the meadow. The shells come,
and dozens of men are blown to CORY
fragments, but the line moves on as
before, and the living reason:
THE fire will presently change from
shell to grape and canister, and then l
shall certainly be hitn'
The prediction is verified. Gaps are
opened through the double line, but
only to be closed again. The regi-
ment has lost its marching step, and
its lines are no longer perfect, but the
movement is still onward, and men
reason:
The infantry are in support of the
battery. l have escaped shell and
grape. but when we come under the
fire of musketry we shall be slaugh-
tered!'
There is no hanging back, no OBJ
liquing to right or left, no other
thought than to push ahead. The
grape ceaSeS, auI leau tahes lne pldco
of IRON The lines are further dis
ordered, and the left wing has lost its
front by thirty feet, but the wave
does not stop. As it rolls forward
men grip their muskets tighter, their
| eyes flash, their teeth shut hard, and
they reason:
in a minute more we shall be near
enough! Then we will charge 'em
with the bayonet! Then will be a
hand-to-hand fight, and surely must
| be killed or wounded, but let us at
