Some idea OF the Shocking e3eesses
which followed IN the wake OF the war
wbieh france made on China in Tonquin
last year is furnished by the statistics Of
outroHes on Christians during the past
twelve months in Cochin China, During
that period nine missionaries, seven native
priests, sixty CatechiseTs, 30 members Of
religious orders and $4,000 converts were
massacEed, and in the 200 parishes ravaged
seventeen orphanagss, ten converts and
225 churches were destroyed.
In making this war France was aGtuated
wholly by spirit Of adventure which
could not be defended in any event, but
which, in the light Of such results aa
these, FAUST be regarded as crime Of I'M
exampled magnitude, Besides sacrificing

will enable any body to place their sig

back of a check signifies that it has
passed through your hands, and is pay.

Attaching n Ranks Cash

Chief Justice Trip Of Dakota, has
just rendered his decision in an impor-
tant case, the attachment case of the
Sioux Falls National Bank against the
First National Bank. Judge Palmer
dissolved the first attachment a short
time ago, but declined to try the second
case. This necessitated the presence
Of Chief Justice Trip. The latter sus-
tanned the attachment on the ground
that the First National cashiers check
Of $l6,j7l was issued with the design of
defrauding the county of that amount
IN its settlement with County Treasurer
Howard, and that allidavits showed
the intention on the part Of the First
National to dispose of its assets for the
purpose Of eyading the payment Of the
Sl6,57l check. The First National re-

that unless are to regard the Roumplian

hrmation of this view the change in the att
tude of Greece and Russia within very short
time seems TO US extremely significant.
In Greece, of course, there has been sue
cession of hot fits and cold fits, which are not
regarded as very serious perhaps by the pow
ers in general. especially since the acqules-
cence Of the Delyanns Cabinet in the coercion
policy of Lord Salisbury, continued by Mr..
Gladstone because the British Phihel-

should be, there is little likelihood of the
Greeks making Roadway against their tradi-

remembered have been since their War of
Independence constructing an entire national
machinery in pacific well as warlike
sense. The Turk on the other hand, has in
the same time displayed his unspeaka bleness
more than ever in neglecting everything civic

Monday performed an operation on Thomas
Powell of that city which is rarely ever at

tient was placed under the influence Of OPT
ates and the intestines were removed and
wrapped in cloths kept heated from hot wa
ter. One of the intestines was found to have
become knotted and had caused Mr.. PowelIs
sufferings. The knot was united and the
aperture closed up. The patient will, the
doctors affirm, rally froU the operation and
recover. The operation did not last quite an
hour.

Building a Great Telescope.

The largest refracting telescope in the
world ia now in process of construction in
the modest workshop of the venerable Alvan
Clark, the eminent telescope maker, in Cam
bridgeport The two disks of glass 90 to
form the lens of the great Lick telescope
which will be placed in the observatory on the
peak of Mount Hamilton, a beguest of the
California millionaire, James Lick. These
two circular glasses are valued at S25 900
each. and if destroyed they could not be du-
plicated within the next six months for mil
lions of dollars The disks were cast in Par
is. the order being given five years ago, but
the failures were so numerous that they were
not received by Messrs Clark until last Sep
temher. When finished the lens will be
thirtv-six inches in diameter, six inches wild
er than the one which they recently
completed for the Russian government.
Since receiving the blocks last September
Mr.. Clark and his sons have been constantly
Mt work upon them, but they do not expect to
have them completed much before next fall.
When completed the two lenses will weigh
about 700 pounds. The work of polishing the
disks has now reached that stage where the
removal OF Il few grains more or less from the
wrong place would ruin them. The only in
strument used is the hand smesred with rouge
a polishing substance finer than the finest
emery Some idea of the power OF the in
strumeut may he gained from the statement
4recentlv made by An astronomer, that gazing
at the moon 2+0. 900 miles away, that orb by
this telescope will apparently be Drought to
within less than 100 miles from the eyes of
the beholier.
