Boulanper's Victory.

The election in the Department of Nord
Sunday resulted in an overwhelming vic
tory for Boulauger That department is on
the northern edge of France, and has about
twice the population of Florida
The question which, doubtless is now
presenting itself to Frenchmen is. what
will be Boulanger's course as member of
the Chamber of Deputies, He has been
voted for in other departments than Nord.
He was elected in Dordogne, in Southeast
ern France. and received a heavy vote in
Marseilles and other departments. He de-
clined the election in Dordogne to become a
candidate in Nord, aud recommended the
election of NJ. Fourton in the former.
The fact that he received votes i'll so many
departments in which he was not candi-
date shows that his popularity is not con-
fined to any particular part of France.
This fact will undoubtedly tend to make
him more aggressive i'll the Chamber of
Deputies. Feeling that he has the support
of public sentiment he will probably push
forward vigorously to obtain the object
which he has i'll view.
His recommendation of NJ Fourton TO
not indicate his line of policy NJ Fourtou
was a member OF the Cabinet of MucMahon,
and conspired with another Cabinet officer
to overthrow the republic and place the
country in the hands of the Bonapartists.
His fellow conspirator, however, hated the
BonapartistS worse than the republic, and
at the last moment backed out. NJ. Fourton
was forced ito retirement, and gradually
dropped into obscurity, where he would
have remained if toulanger had not directed
attention to him,
1t is not clear what it is that induces the
people to trust Boulanger. 1t is true they
hate Germany but they do net want war
with that power, because they do not see a
victorious outcome of it, and they do not
want the republic overthrow Perhaps
they desire some constitutional reforms
which will render the government more
stable. At present the Chamber of Depu-
ties has no check upon it. Ministries are
overthrown at its will. The consequence is
that the small mon among the Deputies, in
order TO secure prominence, are always
plotting against the government There
are dozen or more fac
| tions, each OF which, instead
of devoting itself to the interests of the re-
puolic, spends all its time in trying to force
itself to the front. The fact is there is a
reaction against the prevailing parliament
airy methods, and if this reaction is guided
by strong and wise men, reforms may be
adopted that will take from the Deputies
that part of their power which is a constant
menace to the republic. II Boulanger
aims to bring about these reforms he can,
perhaps, accomplish much good for his
country, but if his purpose is to overthrow
the republic, or to plunge the nation into
war with Germany, in order to have a
greater opportunity to crafty his ambi-
ton, the chances are that he will not only
soon be a disappointed man, but also as
much an object of contempt as he is now a
popular idol.

The New York World, which claims TO
have made complete canvass of Maine,
concludes that after a third OF a century Of
trial, the prohibition law OF that State is a
failure 1t says there is a growing senti-
ment all over the State in favor Of its repeal
and that personal liberty" clubs what ever
they are) are at work in all the large
cities. This sort of talk has been going on
pretty much since Maine adopted prohibit
ton. The State is always going TO repeal
the law, but somehow or other she never
does 50. No doubt there are violations Of
this law in Maine, just as there are violations
OF oil ether laws. Itsre,ention for % years,
However, indicates that it is not devoid of
merit.

Congressman Tillman, of South Carolina,
does not think that Congress contains
enough members. He advances the idea
that the future safety of the country de-
ponds upon larger and more direct
representation of the people in both the
House and Senate, say 600 Representatives.
and 800 Senators. Mr. Tillman says: Our
national legislature is not keeping pace
with our growing population. Our repre-
sentation in Congress is little more than
it was when our population was but half it's
present dimensions. 1t is no wonder we
herr so much about corporate influence in
the Senate. Where only two members are
elected from each State it is easy fOr the
great corporations to elect whomsoever they
choose" The office seekers will agree with
Mr. Tillman, but the people will soon begin
TO regard him as crank il he continues
his present line OF conduct.

Mr. George Gardner, of Massachusetts,
writing to the New YorkAHeraid, makes a
suggestion about the rabbit plague IN New
South Wales. 1t is that what are known as
poachers i'll England be given free passage
to New South Wales, and that the govern
ment there contract to present them with a
homestead when they have extellninated
the rabbits. Mr.. Gardner says in this way
the rabbits would be killed ten times faster
than by Pasteur's plan, and furthermore the
meat could be saved by canning it and
sending it to England. \ new industry
would also be started. The Herdid calls
this splendid plan, but if it were possible
for the rabbits to be exterminated as sug-
gested, the people of New South Wales
would have accomplished that end long ago.
They are killing millions of them every
year, but the decrease is not noticeable.

Tho .I~arrIklns" of Australia.

The governor, instead OF importing a
decent class of women, advised the home
authorities to send out n shipload of the
worst characters, and hus it was that a
transport containing 500 wOmen-the
refuse of London alleys-was dispatched
to Australia. These viragos were called
the "red rovers. They intermarried with
the male convicts, and their progeny, as
might be supposed, turned out of the
criminal order. Their descendants of the
fourth generation are, with few excep-
tions, a curse to the colony. They fill the
jails, and when at liberty congregate at
street corners, eXpectorate on the foot
paths and insult women and children.
They are called 'larrikins."
The "larrikin" is generally a thin, re-
pulsive looking youth of 10 or 90. He is
never known to work, nor in fact to do
anything but steal and Insult oldmen and
young nurse girls; yet he manages to get
enough to eat and to dress well at all
times. He has his clothes made of black
cloth, and occasionally sports a velveteen
wa~istcoat. This is cut very low in front,
the better to display a frilled shirt and
small stand up collar, with tasseled neck
tie. His boots-sometimes let in with red
morocco-have two-inch heels, and as the
proud possessor swaggers up the street or
''holds the post up" he affects a devil
may-care sort of manner as indicative of
his character. So much for the 'larri-
kin. Australia Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.

''The best sponge of commerce, ~ said a
dealer, in speaking TO n reporter, sis
found in the Mediterranean, and is known
as Turkey or Smyrna sponge. This is OBJ
tanned by divers. Bahama or West India
sponge is %coarser, and is sold at a much
less price. Much sponge is gathered of
the coast Of southern Florida"
"How are they gatheredfh
"Sponges, when seen on the bottom at
tached to the rock, look like a big black
bunch. They are pulled of their natural
beds by forked hooks, which are run
down under the sponge, which is formed
like the head of a cabbage, and the roots
pulled from the rocks. When brought TO
the surface it is a mass of soft, glutinous
stuff, which to the touch feels like'soap
or thick jelly. When a small boatload is
obtained they are taken to the shore,
wher a crawl is built in which they are
placed to die, so that the jelly substance
will readily separate from the firm fiber
of the sponge. These crawls are built by
sticking pieces of brush into the sand out
OF the water large enough to contain the
catch. 1t takes from five to six days for
the insect to die, when the sponges are
beaten with small sticks, and the black
glutinous substance falls off, leaving the
sponge, after a thorough washing, ready
for market. New York Mail and Ex-
press,
