Daily Life of Taneyrand.

The sole depository of the entire
tradition of the state" T~alleyrand, even
at the age Of so, ate but one square meal
IN the day, his dinner, and every morn
ing he required the menu of it from his
chef. He would rise at 10, dressing him
self even after the hands got rebeIlious,
and half an hour later would have an
egg, a fruit or a slice of bread and but
ter, a glass Of water with a dash of Ma
deira in it. or perhaps only two or three
cups of camomile tea before beginning
work" No coffee, no chocolate, and
China tea very rarely.
He dined at 8 in Paris and 8 in the
country, well and with appetite taking
soup, fish and a meat entree, which was
almost always of knuckle of veal, praised
mutton outlets or a fowl, He would
sometimes have a slice off aijoint, and he
liked eggs apd custards, but rarely
touched dessert. He always drank a first
rate claret, In which he would put'a very
little water; a glass of sherry he, did not
despise, and after dinner a petit=verre of
old Malaga. In the drawing room he
would himself fill up q large cupfwith
Jumps of sugar, and then the Smaitre
d'hotel-Careme, 10 less-wouldtadd the
coffee. Then came forty winls, and
afterward he would play whist. forjhigh
stakes. His senile eyelids were soiswol-
len that it was a vast effort to openithem
to any width, and SO he often let them
close and slept in company that bored
him. He still continued t o call up his
secretary at night and dictate to him
through the closed curtains.-London

TIE magnificent redwoods which ex-
Tend along the coast ranges, from Mont
Grey bay to Siskiyou, constitute of course
the chief timber resources of the state.
1t is from these forests that the major
part of the lumber used IL, the state since
the American occupation has been OBJ
tanned The drain on thsse forests has
necessarily been enormous. In those red
wood forests adjacent to San Francisco
bay, and lying in the counties of San
Mateo, Santa Cruz, Marin, Sonoma,
Napa and Alameda, most of the mer-
charitable timber in the original growth
has been removed long ago. Fortunately
the d~enudation of these forests has not
produced a scene of utter desolation, such
as is sometimes pictured in the mind as
following in the wake of the lumber
mans ak. In the greater portion of
these worked over forests, where the
stumps have not beer removed to make
way for fruit tree or vine, the great
vitality of the redwood has asserted
itself. and a dense growth of saplings has
sprung from the mutilated butts. and are
rapidly approaching a merchantable con-
dition.
The same phenomenon OF nature re-
storing the redwood forests is witnessed
in such parts of Mendocino and Hum
boldt counties as the lumberman has
already culled. An interesting %illustra-
ton of the renewal of these magnificent
forest trees is presented in the anyon on
the east side Of the Contra Costa and Ala
media county range, within a few miles
of this city, and along the forest clad
slopes of Mount Tamalpais, and the
ranges of Sonoma and Napa counties.
The redwood forests on the range east of
ST. Helena, in the latter county, supplied
all the ties used in the construction of
the Napa Valley railway, and the new
growth has been drawn upon for years
past for posts and stakes for the vine
yurds and orchards that are taking the
place OF the forests.-San Francisco

WHAT MAKES THE SUMMER,

IL Is not the lark's clear tone
Cleaving the morning air with q soaring cry,
Nor the nightingale's dulcet melody all the balny
night
Not these alone
Make the sweet sounds OF summer;
But the drone of beetle and bee, the murmurous
hum OF the fly
And the chirp OF the cricket hidden out Of sight
These help to make the summer
Not roses redly blown,
Nor golden lilies, lighting the dusky mkd.
Nor proud, imperial pansies, nor qn4en cups
quaint and rare
Not these alone
Make the sweet sights OF summer;
But the countless forest leaves, the myriad way
side weeds
And slender grasses, springing up evei anywhere
These help TO make the summer.
One heaven bends above;
The lowlIest head Outlines hath sweetest rest;
Ger song bird In the pine, and bee In the ivy low.
Il the same love, 1t Is all Gods summer;
Well pleased is he II we patiently do our best.
So hum, little bee, and low green grasses grow,
You help TO make summer.

Testing Another Explosive.

British authorities have been testing a
new smokeless gunpowder, the compost
ton of which is a secret. Among the
claims of its inventor are greater velocity,
fatter trajectory, less fouIing and less
recoil than with ordinary government
powder; while it will keep better, is
safer to manufacture and to handle, and
is lighter than the common powder. 1t
is known as the Johnson-Barlend pow
der, and the experiments made are said
have fully justified several of these
claims. -Arkansaw Traveller.

and one cake Cuticura Soap, for my son, aged

now all disappeared, his skin is healthy, eyes
bright, cheerful disposition and working every

markable cure, and the doubling ones are re-
quested to call or write me or any OF my neigh

Tho Canoes of Alaska.

The Indian canoes are very neatly
made, the ribs being whitfield from thin
strips of birch, with gunwales of the
same material, to which the bark is
bound with very fine strips of dried
roots, which resemble bamboo split In
two, and is very strong. The seams
where the bark is bound on to the ribs
are made water tight with heated pitch
gathered from trees. When it becomes
cold it makes these little crafts thor

against Charles Trask, Of Augusta, for fool
ing him In horse trade. II happened in this
way. A. g. Smell owned a fine running
horse named Sorrel Dan, which Perry want
ed, and one day this week he endeavored to
swap horse he owned for the animal. But
Smell wanted S25 TO boot, and Perry would
not pay but $50, so they did not trade. The
next day Charles Trask, Of Augusta, came
along with a stopper very closely resembling
Serrel Dan. Perry says he thought the ami
mai was Dan, and swapped, paying $40 In
the bargain, but afterwards found the horse
was not the sOrrel at all SO he brings an
action against Trask for procuring money
under false pretences.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-John M. Carson, one
of the most conservative of the Washington
correspondents, telegraphs from Indianapo-
lis: 1.-The returns from Indiana were re-
ceived to-day with exasperating slowness.
At the Democratic headquarters the mana
gers were reluctant to admit the defeat of
Cleveland, and caught at every slight favor
able indication to buoy up their slim hopes
for success The returns, however, except
those from Marion county, continue to show
gains for Harrison, and there can be no
reasonable doubt but the Republican
Electoral ticket has been successful by at
least from 5000 to 1000 majority. Up to Q
O'Clock tonight reports were received from
$40 OF the ITS precincts into which the State
is divided, and those show net gain of 595S
over the vote of four years ago, which is
equivalent to an average gain Of traction
over seven and a quarter votes for each pre-
cinct Should this rate of increase Continue
IN the precincts yet to be heard from Harri-
sons plurality will reach about 65OO
Ihe returns received are from precincts in
various sections of the State, and may be
SAID to fairly represent the result of Tues
days voting. In these returns every comfy
IN the State except three is represented, and
Two OF them are small and unconyequential.
The ratio OF increase is not likely to be
materially aHected and is more likely TO be
slightly increased than reduced. / think
little Is risked in saying that Harrison's
majority will be 5000. The Republican State
ticket will be elected by substantially the
same majority as that given to the electoral
ticket. In this Congressional district Mr.
bynum Is reelected by an increased majority
over that OF two years ago. Nothing on
Wnlch TO base an opinion has been heard from
the other districts"

EVERYBODY EXCITED.
Cannons Booming and Horns Blow.
tng-Queer Scenes in INDIANAPOLIS.

INDIAN APoLIs. Ind, Nov. S.-Probably
no city in the union ever witnessed such
extraordinary and outlandish scenes of en-
thusiasm and good natured disorder as pre-
vailed here this afternoon and tonight.
throughout the day whenever the rain
ceased falling, the distant boom of cannon
echoed the enthusiasm of 10000 celebrating
Republicans. About four o'clock the rain
which had been pouring steadily for five
hours, ceased, and in an incredibly short
space OF time the streets were again swarm
ing with yelling, hooting, horn blowing
thousands marching back and forth, utterly
regardless OF the mud and water. All the
trains arriving since early morning brought
hunureas OF country people who were
swallowed up by the crowd and soon be-
came lmbued with the same mild spirit Of
enthusiasm which seemed to attack and
possess everybody, even many Democrats.
~ was regular carnival day. Wealthy
business men and staid and sober profession
al men were plentifully mixed in the throngs
with hundreds OF cOlored men and bows.
oootblacks and newsboys. Some had little
dags pinned all over them, with row of
nags sucking from their hat bands. The
most out-ot-the-way decorations were in
vogue. Probably the most unique feature
ABOUT the crowds was the way their hats
and coats were marked with red and white
chalk. On the back of hundreds were the
figures "544.' the number of votes General
Harrison received at Chicago. Others had
New York, IL 1,000," chalked on their backs.
While every hat bore some letter or figure.
AS evening came on, the factories and stores
ADDED hundreds to the. bowling, screaming
rabble. Between and o'clock, the excite,
ment nearly reached the frenzy point with
good many who were over indulgent but not
quarrel occurred. A few buildings were
llluminated with Chinese lanterns and the
noise of cannon and anvils, fire crackers and
tin horns continued until after 9 o'clock.
