In the memoirs of the Count de Fail
loux, now publishing in LIE Correspond
ent, the following passage, referring to
the coup d'etat of Napoleon III, occurs
"Among the prisoners detained at Mont
Valerien Dec. 2, 1851, was one Anthony
Chomet. He gave to a lady visitor a
number of letters to take t. Paris, and
said: Tell my family / am in no danger,
but that / feel inconsolable to have held
the destiny of France in my hand and to
have let it slipl' Nobody understood the
phrase, but the fact was this: In the
constituent assembly preceding the cleo
ton of Louis Napoleon to the presidency,
Chomet had introduced an amendment
excluding the members of families that
had reigned in France from the office of
president. Louis Napoleon assembled the
rostrum and spoke against the amend
ment SO awkwardly, SO incoherently, and
with an accent so foreign and strange
that he was all the time interrupted by
the noisy laughter and railleries, and
finally compelled to desist ANONYMOUSLY.
Then Chomet arose and said: After the
assembly has heard that ~harangue, and
all France will have read it tomorrow,
there is no further need of my amend
ment. I withdraw IT." He that makes
himself ridiculous makes himself impos-
sible, is the French saying, and Cbomet
was guided by it. But Louis Napoleon
outlived the ridicule and became master
of France, which would not have been
possible if Chomet's amendment had be-
come law.-Paris Letter.

FOOLISH EXTREMES.

Our hysterical contemporary the
Boomerang devotes two whole columns
of space to a consideration of the NAV
erick veto and a four or five column arti-
Gle on the same published in the Stock
Journal. As to the Stock Journals vol
luminous screed We have not and do not
now consider it worthy of attention, for
leaving aside its reprehensible scurrility it
went to the one extremity with pretty
much the same uureasoning blindness that
the Boomerang usually does the other.
THE LEADER does not take much stock
in the extremists of either side. On the
one hand it believes the Boomerdng's as
sertion that "the crimson handed stock
monopoly has more to answe for before
heaven than all the pirates that ever sailed
the seas" as little better than the SLAYER
ings of a iibbering idiot. On the other
hand we emphatically oppose the
opposite extreme, that everything and
everybody should be subordinated to a
consideration of the stock interests.
As to the veto OF the maverick bill, it
was entirely Just and proper, for the gov
ernor gave some powerful reasons for the
position which he assumed. Knowing
that a strong feeling had been aroused,
THE LEADER advised a careful considera-
ton of the objections raised. This ad-
vice, the wisdom of which has been dem
onstratod, passed UNDECIDED. An attempt
was made to pass the bill over the veto,
but it failed. The principal criticism
which has been expressed on this is not
rs to the fact that such an attempt was
made, but of the method which was en-
ployed.
We have never been able to see what
good has been accomplished by blind, I'm
reasoning fury. If people always fol-
lowed their passionate impulses instead of
their sober judgment the world would
soon be a vast charnel house. Leaving
aside the Justice OF the matter we cannot
see the common sense of the extraordi-
nary onslaught made on the cattle bust
ness by the Laramie City people and
press. We have failed to hear Of a single
instance in which they have declined to
receive the heavy amount of taxes paid
by the crimson handed stockmeu'' and
can imagine the high heavens rent with
howls in case they refused to pay what
was assessed against them. Laramie City
has not always shown a disposition to
protect railroad property aud yet take
out their railroad and cattle assess
ments and Albany county wouldn't
have enough lett TO pay for the salt which
it nsum
We have heretofore heard of a man
who cut off his nose to spite his face. We
commend the moral of the tale to the on
sideration OF the Boomerang.

1t is recoupted that one day, being
caught in his private dressing room by a
tailor who ragged, and said he would not
leave till he had been paid his bill, Count
D'Orsay listened thoughtfully for a time,
liking his eyes upon a package that the
irate tailor had deposited upon a chair.
This package was enveloped in a coarse
sort of canvas.
"Have you much of that stuff in your
shop9' said Count D'Orsay.
"What kind-that ugly canvas? If I
wanted it 1 could tomorrow have enough
to wrap up all the merchandise in the
London docks"
London docksi' said the count;
'don't talk nonsense. Come to me to-
morrow at 4 O'Clock and take my meas
ure for a pair of trousers cut from this
canvas"
In vain the tailor endeavored to dis
suade the count, stating that the canvas
was not suitable for a garment, and in q
short time Count D'Orsay was supplied
with the canvas trousers.
AT 8 O'Clock one afternoon he climbed
the vast staircase of Crockford's, then
one of the fashionable clubs of London,
and the first person whom he met was
Lord Chesterfield.
upon my word" said the noble lord,
"you have a singular garment there
something rare, without doubt Always
the same original and charming
D'Orsayl'
The count received the compliment
with some confusion.
at is perhaps not exactly elegant" he
said, "but it is very handy and fresh,
especially suited to riding on horseback"
In a few moments a group of handles
had surrounded the clever Frenchman,
Lord Chesterfield in the main parlor was
expatiating on the originality of
D'Orsay's taste, and a few days after
ward the tailor found himself overrun
with orders for the canvas trousers. Lord
Chesterfield himself ordered a dozen
pairs. Count D'Orsay had accomplished
his purpose, and the delighted tailor
came no more with his troublesome bill.

Whom Attacked by Pneumonla.


"What is the first symptom of pneu-
monia?' was asked a Brooklyn physician
the other day.
"a severe chill, >" was the reply.
"What ought a man to do who is
seized with such q chill?''
ii should get into n bath tub con-
tanning hot water-so hot that it would
redden the skin-and stay there as long
as he can"
"What is the philosophy of such treat
ment2"
"a severe chill, which always precedes
pneumonia, indicates that the blood has
gorged the lungs, liver or kidneys. Now,
the first remedial step is to dissipate this
blood. The hot bath does this. 1t draws
the blood to the surface, and dissipates it
over a greater area. After having lain
in the bath until relief is experienced,
the patient should step out of it and wrap
himself in n wooden blanket. Don't stop
to dry yourself with a towel, but wrap
the warm wool around you and tumble
into bed.
1.-The consensus of opinion among the
leading physicians of the day is that
pneumonia is an infectious disease. That
is, the disease germ is in the air, and
when the right physical condition is pre-
scented the disease takes root and fructi-
fies. The popular idea that pneumonia
is confined to cold weather is an errone-
GUS one. There is no pneumonia in the
Arctic regions. 1t is mainly due to the
sudden changes in our temperature. By
consulting the health reports of New
York city it will be found that the high
est death rate occurs in December and
February, but thatthere are a rood MANY
cases in August.-New York Sun.

nearly 5 p. M, at which time the case
went to the jury.
Gen. Thompson was in the case yester-
day and assisted Mr.. Morgan, who has
had charge of the case. The evidence
yesterday for the most part was the same
as hat adduced in the Sanderson and
Everett cases, except that several wit
ncsses were sworn and testified in regard
to contradictory statements made by Mrs.
Berry in regard to the affair at the Ey-
crett ranch, at which time Rice is said to
have been killed. At the conclusion of
the testimony for the prosecution n motion
was made on the part of the defense for
the discharge of the defendant on the
ground that no case had been made out
against her. The motion was argued at
some length, but in the outcome was over
ruled by the court.
No evidence was offered on the part of
the defendant, who did not testify in her
own behalf. The case was argued at some
length by Mr.. Stoll and Mr.. Morgan,
after which the court instructed the jury,
who retired at about 5 p. IN. to deliberate
upon their verdict.
Some two hours later, while the even
ing session was in progress, the jury re-
turned into court with a verdict of guilty
as charged in the indictment. AS soon
as the verdict was read Mrs. Berry broke
out into a quiet little laugh, and was
heard to remark, well, that is a pretty
good verdict and thereafter continued
to smile and chat with her attorneys con-
corning the outcome of the case.
The case Of the Territory of Wyoming
VS.. David Lewis, also charged with being
an accessory after the fact to the murder
of Rice. was called Tor trial as soon as the
Berry case was out of the way. Gene
raj Thompson and T. NJ. Fisher appearing
for the defendant. A jury was obtained
at last evenings session of the court and
the taking of the testimony will begin this
morning.

The expense in light, fuel, ETC., which
courtship brings paterfamilias is q ncver
worn put joke with our newspapers.
Probably these long enduring fathers
would welcome tho introduction of a
system of courtship pursued by the Beers,
a thrifty race of Holland descent in South
Africa. Here it is the practice for the
young mar to make known his intention
to the lady of his choice by calling,
armed with q long candle. If his suit is
agreeable to the lady and her family, the
mother lights the candle brought, sticks
a pin in it to indicate how long a time
the young people are allowed to devote to
wooing this time, and leaves them alone.
When the candle has burned down to
the pin she returns and the young man
must withdraw. The same candle is
brought out at subsequent visits and
burned by installments, and when it is
entirely consumed, the girl is expected to
have her trousseau In readiness for the
wedding.-Alta California.

n1oles Removed by Electricity.

The fair sex owes still another debt to
the scientist. A lady who had a mole on
her shoulder and who, from this reason,
was unable to display her otherwise fair
and attractive corporal possessions, has
had an electrical operation performed
with perfect success. The mole was
perforated with electric needles in every
direction. After week the mole, which
had been burned to q black mass, fell off
and left the skin in good condition. The
new skin shows hardly a trace of dis
coloration, and she now wears the most
fashionable ball dresses with impunity
and success.-New York Mail and Ex-
press.

Mr.. Bergh is slender, of medium
height, and carries himself erect and

mand attention in any assemblage. His
most distinguishing characteristic IL his
forehead, which is massive in breadth
and height and protrudes almost to the
line of his resolute chin. In spite of his
busy years and busy life, his eyes retain
their brightness and his voice its pleasant
and CHEEKY softness. 1t Is a voice that is
always under its owners perfect control.
Its tones are the same In their quality
when he addresses a court to secure the
conviction of some ignoble brute who
has raised his hand against his more
noble but less fortunate fellow, as when

1t seems to me that ordinary polite
ness, the honest dictates of courtesy,
would suggest to smokers that public
conveyances, public audience rooms,
public eating places, public drinking
places, are for the enjoyment of the
whole public and not for a selfish ma
jority. Men frequently come into my
office with lighted cigarettes and leave
behind them traces Of their ~offense, which
annoy me for hours thereafter.
