NEWS from France reports n strange ep-
idemic of crime raging in that country,
Especially is this true in and around Paris,
where the most brutal and savage muir
ders have been committed. Both ProteS-
tant and Catholic churches have become
alarmed and special prayers are offered for
the arrest of the growing Savagery. Much
of this misfortune is blamed upon the
French novel. The pernicious literature
that has so long been disseminated there
is bearing such bitter fruits that fears are
entertained that the whole fabric OF
the French society is h~urrying on to some
dreadful crisis.
Pernicious literature is fastening its
fangs upon this country. Already its evil
influence is felt in many localities. Only
a long liberation OF such literature is nee
cessary to bring about 4 condition similar
to that which exists in France.

CONTEST FOR U. ;. SENATE.


The Republican Executive Committees
address to the voters closed with these
words:
Let all those citizens who believe it is
the paramount duty of West YriginianS to
look after and protect their own interests
rather than elect tn the u. =. Senate the
representative OfOne Oithe most corrupt and
vicious ~monOpOlies that now afiicts the
land, come out on election day and do his
full duty. The only issue presented to the
people by the Democratic party is who
shall be United States Senator" Let the
people make their own choice and not be
imposed upon by the manipulators Of a
corrupt coal oil ring.
Nothing Is said in the address about Golf
worship among the Republicans. The prime
object in this campaign work is by hooks

lature that Golf may be sent to the Senate

Abraham Lincoln.

Among recent facts of literary and
popular interest, is the announcement
of new illustrated biography entitled
"The Everyday Life of Abraham
Lincoln" written by "rhose
who knew him." The plan
of the work is that of an exhaustive
biography, giving not only the gene
raj facts of his life in chronological
order, but incidents, anecdotes and
every day facts minutely personal,
such as could only be given by those
in closest intimate and confidential
relations, during the various periods
OF his life. These were, in Pursuance
of the plan, enlisted for the work,
embracing those who knew him as a
boy, as hatboatman, as railspli,ter,
clerk in country store, law STU
dent, a lawyer, politician, President
every period of his eventful and most
interesting life. Each author writes
of the facts of his life during the per.
iod in which he knew hm-facts and
incidents that came under his own
observation and within his own
knowledge. A book thus written,
and so exhaustive in fact concerning
one of SO enduring place in the
hearts and admiration of his people,
is assured of an enthusiastic welcome
and lasting place in popular esteem.
We are told that the last literary
work performed by the late Judge
David Davis, Lincoln's life time
friend, was one of the many contri-
buttons to this volume, in which he
took deep personal interest.
1t is grand career and character
that is thus so infinitely delineated.
What lover of simple worth and
homely virtues is not touched by
Lincoln's pure and manly life? In
what other country could it have been
possible to produce character and
career like his?
The work is rendered further attrac.
tive by nearly 100 superb engravings
from original designs made especially
for this book, illustrating scenes and
incidents in his life. 1t is sold at
popular prices within the reach of
all.
The canvassing agent for such
work will find the latch string out,
a welcome and patronage that will
make his business both pleasant
and profitable. N. ID. Thompson
Publishing Co., St. Louis, Mo-, and
New York City, are the enterprising
publishers.

The New Treaty.

The text of the new extradition
treaty between England and the
United States, shows that it has been
drawn in exact accord with the plan
outlined by Secretary Frelinghuysen,
under Arthur's administration. Since
the treaty now in force or the SUBJ
ject of extraditions between the two
countries was ratified it has become
every year more and more apparent
that its provisions were not broad
enough TO include all the offences
which civilized nations, in the interest
of general peace and the suppression
of crime, should recognize as grounds
for extradition. Profting by expert
enCe, in all our latter treaties with
other powers, we have extended the
scope of extradition much beyond
the limits of the treaty now existing
which has defined the mutual respon-
sbilities Of this country and Great
Britain; and it has been one Of the
anomalies of our international rela-
tons that while it was possible for us
to apprehend in remote countries
and bring to justice certain classes Of
criminals, it was only necessary for
these men to cross the line which
separates us from Canada to be able
to defy pursuit. We have been in the
absurd position of closing distant and
improbable avenues of escape, while
we left the nearest and most accessi-
BILE allen Sterritory place of refuge.
In the interest of common honesty,
not less than international comfy,
it has long been important that this
policy should be changed, and to this
end the late Republican administra-
ton sought to make radical changes
in our treaty with Great Britain; and
it is subject. of congratulation that
the negotiations began under Re-
publican administration are about to
reach successful conclusion.
The principal changes made by the
new treaty are the inclusion of en-
bezzlement and similar forms OF dis
honesty, and of various phases of the

Rules for Highways.

Make the public roads neat and
smooth, and pleasant and profitable
TO travellers and in driving to market.
2. Never throw rubbish of any
kind into highways in order to get
rid Of It, nor deposit cord wood, logs
or timber at roadsides, TO frighten
passing horses.
3. All owners who build their
houses facing square the public roads
should show at least the same respect
10 these roads that they do to their
own fields, by excluding all weeds.
=. Remove all loose stones from
the wheeltrack once month, and all
fixed stones, which strike and break
the wheels, jar the loads, rack the
harness, and tire the horse.
5. Where fixed stones cannot be
removed, cover them well with gravel
or other road material.
6. Remember that a fixed stone
may strike different wheels thous
and times like a sledge hammer, and
cause hundred dollars of damage.
To remove it might cost five cents.
T. Never make highway of muck,
sods, or soft material scraped from
The side bitches, which is worked into
deep mud in wet weather, but draw
them into the barnyard for the com
post heap.
s. Where the road bed has not a
dry bottom cut ditch in the middle
three feet deep, and lengthwise with
it, with side escape bitches at depres-
sionS, and fill it with gravel or brok-
en- stone, coarse below and finer near
The top.
9. Pant shade trees three or four
rods apart along the line, to allow air
to circulate, sun to shine, and mud TO
dry
10. Keep the roadside smooth,
NOW the grass for hay, and thus Sc
cure a good track when the centre Of
the road is encountered with mpass-
able snow drifts in winter.
II. In windy places make the wind
ward road fences of barb wire, to pre-
vent the accumulation of drifts Of
snow.
IL. Never make the public high
way barnyard, nor leave wagons,
plows and machines to cucumber the
road.
- Never endanger those who trav
el by driving manageable or frac.
tious horses to frighten and annoy
other horses. Sell the unrulv animals
or put them to steady home labor
With other horses.
II. Never drive horses across
railway without Iirst looking both
ways, Or if in the dark, without list
ening. 1t is better to take this care
one hundred times than to be crushed
by locomotive once by its neglect.
Is. Never keep noisy barking dog
to bark at quiet passengers or pass
ing teams, to terrify horses and cause
them to run away, upset carriages,
and break limbs.
The observance of these Country
Gentleman injunctions will give
smooth, hard, satisfactory roads for
farmers and travellers to pass over,
bring their farms nearer to market,
increase the value of their farms,
make pleasant neighbors, and attach
boys and young men to the country.
