The expulsion of the princes from
France is, on its face, an exhibition of
national weakness, says the Indianapo-
lis Journal. It would seem that these
few men could be "taken care of" with
out the necessity of sending them out
of the country. Yet, in another way,
their expulsion may have been in the
interest of the people and the preserva-
ton of peace. It is not r%eassuring to
have a number of men plotting to
change the form of government. The
existing government, whatever may be
thought of its excellence, is the govern
ment, and as such must take every
measure for its perpetuation. Self
preservation is as c~ommendable in gov
ernments al in individuals. The ex-
isting government in every case must
be recognized as the true n until
such time as the people shall compel a
change. And until such change is
brought about it must be admitted that
the existing government is possessed
of the right to enforce its wishes. The
expulsion of the princes may or may
not be wise, but of the right of the gov
eminent to send them out of the bor-
ders OF France there can be no ques-
ton. It is an axiom in national law
that the existing order of things, is
the proper order of things, and
must be accepted, with the alternative
of fighting, unless a change can be
brought about in a legislative way,
which has not been possible in this in
stance. The government of France
doubtless wishes to impress the plot
ting princes that it was not considered
in good form to preach treason in the
republic. The doctrine is o whole
some one, and M that is generally
sought to be enforced. The princes
might as we'll make up their minds
that they will have to go for the pres
ent. The prince business is not as
popular in France as it has been in the
past.

nounced a success in all particulars by
the Elgin Watch Company, and he ex-
poets to reap a big fortune by it.

FATHER HYAC1NTHE LoYsoN says he
is astonished to see French legislators
thinking of nothing but the expulsion
of the princes, when q far greater peril
lies in the ideas of socialism, impiety,
and moral disorder that are simmering
in the public mind. "Yet," he says,
the Parliament Government of the
country are exclusively and passionate
ly ~preoccupied with another danger
that which is incurred by the presence
of the Comte de Paris on the soil of the
country which he honors by his noble
virtues and his mistaken honesty, as
we'll as by his family connection. I
protest against this ostracism, this vio-
lation of justice, this work of violence
and sign of weakness. I do not know
what the ~monarchies of Europe may
think of it, but the American republic
will weep for her sister,"

A VIENNA gentleman went to see
Munkaczy in Paris the other day, and
explained that he would like to buy
some pictures by him, "only" he added.
II can not afford to pay the price you
now ask. Could you tell me where !
could find some of your early work,
painted when you were a young man in
Hungary-something that 1 could buy
cheap?" Certainly; there are two or
three hundred in my native village of
Munkacz-the houses I painted when
I was Michael Leib, painter and
glazier."

THERE are not materials at hand,
says the San Francisco Alta, to form
precise opinions in relation to the effect
which environment has produced on
the C%alifornians of the first generation.
That it has caused some notifications
can not be doubted. Observation tends
to establish that the young Californian
is of a lighter temperament than his
Eastern cousins. That he is more tenn
perate and at the same time more fun
loving is beyond question. The prede-
cessors of the pioneers in California
we're the most abstemious of the human
race. But most marked characteristics
will be developed In the second gene
ration of Californians that is now slow
ly coming up.

FRANK Chosen is q hotel proprietor
at Wernersville, Pa. Recently he re-
ceived a letter from Washington asking
whether he could accommodate Presi-
dent Cleveland and bride for q few
weeks. This letter appears to have
been the work of some unauthorized
person. Grosch at once wrote to Con-
gresham Ermentrout, who represents
his district, and he promptly wrote
Col. Lamont for further particulars.
Col. Lamont denied the report. In the
meantime the news was heralded
Throughout the country, which brought
many letters and kilograms of inquiry.
Then several papers limited hat the
President had better keep away from
that resort unless he wanted to reduce
his weight by starvation. This, Grosch
claims, is very ruinous to him, and he
is now preparing to bring a suit against
some one-who, it is not known-for
damages.

JOHN RusK1N, being asked for aid in
paying off q church debt, replied by
letter thus: II am sorrowfully amused
at your appeal to me, of all people in
the world, the precisely least likely to
give you a farthing. My first word to
all men and boys who care to hear me
is: Don't get into debt. Starve, and
go to heaven; but don't borrow. Try
first begging. I dent mind, if it's
really needful, stealing. But don't buy
things You can't pay for And of all
manner of debtors, pious people build
ing churches they can't pay for are the
most detestable nonsense to me. Can't
you preach and pray behind the hedges,
or in q sand-pit, or in a coal-hole first?
And of all manner of churches thus
i%diotically built, iron churches are the
damnablest to me. And of all the sects
and believers in any ruling spirit, Hin
docs, Turks, Feather Idolators and
Mumbo Jumbo Dog and Fire Worship
ers who want churches, your modern
English Evangelical sect is the most
absurd and entirely Objectionable and
uncomfortable to me. All of which you
might very easily have found out from
my books. Any other sort of sect
would, before botbering me to write it
| to them"

A Modest Humorist.

The Tid-BaS publishes the following
concerning modest man who is known
throughout the entire country:
The Norristown Ucrdld was one of
the first weeklies, not professedly humor-
Gus, to enter into what we now under
stand as paragraphing, as Il business.
1t made q point of it rs early rs ISL
perhaps earlier-and made hit with
it. The title of the column or two of
amusing comment on the follies of the
day which the Herald publishes weekly
is Editorial Etchings." Probably not
tenth of those who see the italic le-
gend, Norristown Herald, in their IA
vorite paper with some regularity, after
q bit of fun, ever saw this heading in
the paper itself-possibly there may
even be those who do not know that
Norristown is place not very far from
the marble stoops and white blinds of
Philadelphia. But every one must
know the quality of the humor they
make in Norristown, wherever the place
may be, or whatever sort of sheet the
humor may come into the world under
the auspices of. The fact is, however,
that there are few weeklies, not of city
manufacture, which are more brightly
and shrewdly edited than the Hcrdd
or present a more comcly typographical
face to the world
The editor, Morgan Il. Wills is not
the writer of the E"ditorial Etchings."

haps allowable to expand trlle, if
only ito lend verisimilitude To an other

Mr.. Williams life has, in fact, not
been an evcntful one As he says, il has
been rs even and serene "as the exist

made familiar with the four R's-Read-

His stock of knowledge was increased
in the course of an apprenticeship to n

ship he began to contribute humorous
skits to the New York Mcrcury-using

gcsted by an Irish joke which he had
constructed. He continued writing,

At the close the feeling was universal that
the speech was the greatest oratorical effort
Of Gladstone's whole career, and he seemed
TO carry the sentiment OF the House with
him.
The Nationalist party was thoroughly
pleased with GladStone's plan with the ex-
ception of certain features criticized by
Parnell -Michle! DIyitt expressed his EN-
tire satisfaction and there can be no doubt
that the measure will meet the warm sup,
port Of the Nationalist party. One amusing

Gladstone had left of. While accepting the
principle of the measure, Parnell called at

element In and About the Com
mons.

London, April S. Special by Cable. The
scene in the house OF commons to-day from
dawn to the close of the session was I'D
paralleled In the history Of the parliament.
The Irish members began to arrive before 6
O'Clock a. m. pursuant to the plan adopted
the night before to secure the best seats.
There are only 40 seats in the House to ac-
commodate $50 members, who were present
out of q full House of SO. The rush for
seats 10 listen to the debate was so great
that hundreds were badly jammedin their
attempts to gain admittance. The members
seats were drawn by lots as nearly. six hun
dred members attended the drawing. One
of the unusual incidents of the day was the
serving of breakfast in the House dining
room, at which eighty-six Irish members
were present. They greeted every new ar
rival with cheers or laughter, according to
his position on the home-rule question. By
noon every place was taken, there being
about thirty chairs placed on the floor inside
the benches. Among those who attended in
the peers gallery were the Prince of Wales,
his son, Albert Victor, the Duke of Cam
bridge and. Prince Christian. Among the
ether notabilities present were Earl Spencer,
ex-lord lieutenant of Ireland, and Lord
Ashbourne, ex.lord chancellor In the Dip
iomatic gallery every ambassador and min.
iste, at the court of ST James was squeezed
in, Mr. Phelps, theAmerican minister, being
pressed into Q corner next to Prince Chris
tian. In the statesmen's gallery Michael
Dayitt and Father Eugene Sheehy were
conspicuous auditors. In the ladies' gallery
the widow of John Mitchell, who struggled
and suffered for Ireland, looked down upon
this heroic scene.
On Mr.. Gladstone's entrance the whole
Liberal and Irish party rose and cheered
him for his voice resumed almost its old
time resonance and at the eiese- -its current
melody wss heard sres0unding through the
hah producing its enchanting effect. 1t was
