The early accounts of the treaty between
the French and the Queen of Madagascar APP
pear to have been good deal out of the way.
Instead of gaining protectorate France
virtually abandcns its pretentiens in the
Island, and the only indemnity Madagascar
agrees to pay is a sufficient amount to cover
the value of property of foreign residents
destroyed during the war. The French col
onial ventures have proved all output and no
income either in the shape of territory or
prestige.
The New York Post thinks that the re-
fnsal of the Syracuse hotels to receive the
colored jubilee singers is about as bad as
Austria's refusal to receive Minister Kelley
on account of prejudice against his wife's
religion. 1t is very much like it certainly,
and with a few slight changes Mr.. Bayard's
letters to the Austrian government might be
submitted to the hotel proprietors by the
jubilee singers as a protest against their UNI
just and unkind discrimination. 1t is quite
evident that tbs country is not yet so free
from social prejudice that it can consistently
do much in the way of lecturing other ma
tons.

Interesting Extracts from Letters from

Warren Waterman has written a
couple of letters from New Orleans to
his parents from whish we are permit
ted to take the following extracts. UR-
der date of January Ash he says: There
are 100000 strangers here now and fully
one quarter of them have come with the
expectation of getting work. L. had a
chance to-day to go to South America
but thought it was too late In the sea-
son to go. have seen ships and men OF
war from all parts Of the world. 1t Is
as much of a sight to go down to the lev
ees for day as it is to see the exposi-
tion. The Great Eastern is not in yet,
neither can fad out when she is COM
ing 1t froze quite hard here New
Years day, the next day it was very hot
and to-day it Is rainiHg and maud two
feet deep. visited the U. s. mint and
saw them make silver dollars. This
town is lower than the river and slopes
from the river down into the City. There
are no sewers in this great city, all the
water and filth, runs ia the street gut
tiers all to enc place where it is pumped
into an elevated canal which conducts
it into the river. On Ash Tuesday the
Mard Gras will celebrate here, which
will be the big show of all. L saw some
three inch white pins plank at the Ex-
position which came from Il. ID, TaylOr's
mill at Alpsna, Mich, also some pine
boards sawed here that were 40 AID so
feet long and without knot. This pine
is one solid mass Of pitch but will not
boil out by the heat of the sun. BY the
way would like to tell you what had
Tor dinner New Years day but cannot

In another letter written January 9Th
he says: II have been out all day on the
Exposition grounds with Frank Todd.

ing of coming here to wait until Febru-
airy, IS the 18th of that month will be a
big day here. To-day was celebrated in
memory of the battle of New Orleans. l
saw new steamship just built in Scot
land, from Central America. Her cab
ins were flashed with curly and birds
eye maple from Michigan and was the
finest thing eyer saw. On the 9th it
rained all dav and ia some parts of the
city the water was feet deep in the
streets, so we were confined inside all
that day. The next day it was very hot
and the stencil from the streets was aw-
full to smell. l heard the large chimes

The Filthy Weed.
WARREN WATERMAN.

For the NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
Lines addressed to young man, o.
hearing him declare he chad sworn off
from tho use of tobacco:
Yes, spit it out, the filthy weed,
You'll ne'er regret it, no indeed;
BE wise in time, and break the chain,
And never put cigars again,
Or pipe, or Quid, between your teeth;
Or send the serpent coiling wreath
Above your head; the baneful stuff,
How can you bear? 1t is enough,
To make ones hopes and spirits, sink,
OF all its bad, to even think!
heard a maiden fair, one day.
When sitting by my window, say,
81 wish that 1 dollar had,
For every man, for every lad,
With smoking pipe, goes by your door;
Pm sure l could not ask for more;
T'w0uld make me richer than JewW
Alas, it was, it Is, too true!
One can't look out, or meet a shape
OF masculine, but In his wake
One sees, and smells, an odor rise,
To gloom and foul the air and skies.
oh, il to wisdom, you had'leaned,
Long, long ago, you had been screened,
The bitter struggle, now your fate,
But don't give up, Tis not to late;
Stick to your good resolve, plead,
And throw away the poison weed;
Say with Kirk Patrick-''live or die,"-
To crush this beastly love, I'll try,
This day, this hour, l will begin
And conquer will, or sink, or swimp'
III to cigars. you have been wed
Turn back and love some good, instead.
Get divorce, you can't too soon,
And send yonr cigarettes, to doom;
/ know she smiled with jest and wink,
With subtle art and made you think,
You'd do fine and manly deed,
III you so young esp0used the weed.
Beware my friend! the mink can lie,
And by degrees, and by and by
Will hug too closely for escape.
Arouse then now! look up--awake!
And cast the treacherous syren ont:
And we who hate will with you shout.
When you are from her shackles free,
And live a life,of liberty.
And may live to bless the day,
That should chance to hear you say;
ITO smoke or chew, I will no more"
May strength be yours forevermore,
And may the crown Of Victor, rest
Upon your brow, and make you blest,
With children fair, and loving wife,
The crown Of every good mans life.

tI,gRt ASUN WHY.

The element in Tennessee which
has been opposing the holding of one
convention next year, is the e ement
which has been oppsing the regu-
lati1n Of railroads. and are know,
rs the "Railroad apg" of the demo
cratic panty. While the Bulletin
has never denied that this eerlent
we're democrats; it has charged that
they were seeking to sacrifice the in
ferests of the mas secs Of the people,
for the benefit of railroad corpora
ton. The question naturally arises,
why this element, with such singu-
lar unanimnity, have so persistent
ly advocated the holding Of two con-
ventions, when one can do the
work as we'll, if not better tIan two?
If there bad been any division III
their ranks it would not look 60
much like the matter had been talk
ed Of, and agreed upon, in secret
conclaVe. and with a particular OBJ
ject ia view. Is it not strange thai
every newspaper in Tennessee which
has been opposing the democratic
policy of regulating railroads by .
commission, has u 50 advocated the
holding Of two conventions aud would
get on their ears when the one con-
ventin idea was suggested And
yet, 50 far as we remem Der, that is
the case. This element know that
if two conventions are held, the judi
cial convention will be neglected
and the great body Of the democrats
ic party will not be represented.
They know that it will be attended
principally, by lawyers, who natural
ly feel usdeop interest inFt and they
also know that the Railroad lawyers
viii be out in full force. And 10 max
a long matter short. that is just ex
actly the reason why. this element
want two conventions held. They
hope, thereby, to capture the judi
cial convention, and to have d tick
ct favorable to the Railroads, pui
forward as the Democratic ticket.
II matters not with them, if the sue
cess Of the Democratic ticket is
jeopardized by the manner of its Sc
lection; for they would not care i
the Democratic ticket were defeat
ed and tho Republican ticket elect
Cd. a Republican Supreme Cour
would answer the purposes Of this
element equally as we'll, if not bet,
ter, than a Democratic Supreme
Court. The Democratic press of the
State is beginning to see the purpos'
OF this ia ten and the ne conyeutio:
advocates, are gaining strength dai
~. The State Executive Commit,
tee should look carefully into thit
matter, and see whether the TIVE
convention element is really leok-
ing TO the best of the -mocrati
party, or whether they have som,
dlteTiOr motive IN view.
