De Lessons Weep For Jex,

a dramatic scene was enacted at the
Paris Office OF the Panama Canal com.
pany on Wednesday when De Lesseps got
up on table and wept because he had
conquered reason. A subscription list
Tor bonds Of the canal company had been
opened, and in spite of the widespread
exposure Of the rottenness of the enter
prize, In spite Of its denunciation by en-.
gineers OF undoubted reputation and hon
esty and the exposure OF wastefulness
and error in its management more bonds
had been taken than they needed or hoped
to sell, and taken with an eager rush.
The offices OF the company throughout
France have been jamDed with people
eager to subscribe. $4,000 bonds were
taken In Marseilles alone and 400 in
Paris. The clerks are worn out and the
rush is as frantic as ever, though the lists
will remain open until Saturday. No
wonder that the venerable Lesseps wept
with Joy. 1t must have been astonishing
even to one so well accustomed to the
strange ways Of the French. His ecstatic
sentences when he tried to make speech
from the table are more pathetic when
We think of the thousands of poor share.
holders and bondholders who are doomed
TO lose the little savings they have
periodically advanced for the succor of
what appeared TO them a glorious enter
prise.
: A cynic has observed that the fact that
"glOirs" rhymed with "victoire' has been
the ruin OF the French people, and the
same unreasoning emotional enthusiasm
that appeared to justify that remark has
brought the French nation to the sup.
port Of this Quixotic Panama enterprise.
ASsnsN It is q cheering thing that this
spirit'should be aroused over hope of the
-sloss. COT peace as we'll as of the triumphs
.I'.a ~ ,ns No matter how we may
atiter.ne sh. the rash confidence of
the Ere, IN, there is something
grandly inspiring in this uprising of
great people for the support of national
enterprise. Whatever may be their faults,
the French are liberal and progressive
whatever may be their failings, want of
national ambition is not one of them.
De Lesseps is like many famous general
whose success has chiefly been due to
contempt of cost and dogged persever-
ance. As Napoleon cared nothing for
French livesif he could only conquer, SO
this old engineer cares nothing for French
fortunes, and it is possible that at fear
tm cost his canal may at last be built.
Tnen II he lives SO long he will triumph

dlviduals, and France will make hero

A phvsician whom | saw after my talk
with DR.. Hamilton told me of queer case
of insane jealousy. The victim had de
fusion that his wife received visitors at all
sorts of impossible hours He had ridiculous
locks and bolts put upon the doors and
windows of their sleeping apartment and
in addition he tied a slender wooden cord
across the door and held one end Of it in his
hand. Night after night he would go
through this performance, and then lie down
to sleep upon the sofa, fully dressed, with
loaded revolver in his hand and great club
in convenient position for instant use. VI
course his slumbers were not tranquil, and
in tossing about he always broke the wooden
string. In the morning, although all the
bolts and bars were unchanged he would
regard the broken string as indisputable
evidence Of infidelity. At the request OF the
wife several physicians examined the nus
hand and ali pronounced him insane. lie

Some New Attractions.

Our stock was not exactly running down,
but even the completest stock in the world
must yield to the implacable demands of
custom, so our senior took a little run up to
New York, and has just returned with some
handsome additions to our lines Of fine jew
elry, Diamonds, Sterling and Plated Ware,
Bronzes and Bric-a-brac. The Milliners
and Tailors scarce rule fashions fancies
more than the goldsmith and worker in
precious metals and stones, consequently
there is always something new to be OBJ
tanned, and we are ever anxious to be
among the first to display it. Admirers of
the beautiful and unique will find now on our
tables, in our show cases and shelves, much
to entertain and please, and we desire to re-
iterate our oft-repeated statement, that we
are always pleased and anxious to have all
so inclined to call and look at our stock
whether they want to buy or not. Our
statesmen are always ready and willing to
exhibit our great variety of valuable, use
full and ornamental articles to visitors. We
make a speciality of Wedding Presents, and
tender the benefit of our experience in max
ing appropriate selections. A rare display
of Ladies' Gold Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Chains. We
carry the largest stock of Diamonds, set
and unset, Gold and Silver Headed UNI
brellas, etc. We are receiving novelties al
most daily. and every visit will find some
thing to render it pleasant and interesting.
Best of all, our prices are in strict accor-
dance with the demands Of the time. We
can not be excelled in volume or variety, or
undersold by any house in the State.
