The Chicago Tribune tells Senator's Hoar
and Edmunds that they are straining over
gnats in trying to defeat Mr.. Fuller's con-
frmation. The Tribune is a Republican
journal, but when it departs from the dis
cussion Of Southern politics it sometimes
hits the nail on the head.

The New York Tribune, discussing prob

Senator Brown will doubtless make
strong effort to have the appropriation for
Savannah harbor increased, while the Sem

woman's Right. in France.

Some millions of Frenchmen have re-
ceived q shock; not an electric nor an
earthquake one. It belongs to the moral
order of phenomena, but 1t has none the
less spread CONSERVATION. The highest
court in France-the Cour de Cessation
whose function Is to decide knotty oues-
tions of law by q direct appeal to the
moral principles from which all laws are
In theory derived, has declared that man,
having promised marriage to Q woman,
lncurs the liability to pay her = pecuniary
indemnity In the event of his refusing to
keep his promise. The shock is contained
in this decision. for which the public
mind was quite unprepered. A breach has
been made in fortress that was held to
be impregnable and everlasting, and
through this breach 1t Is feared the whole
army Of Frenchwomen will march, feathers
and ribbons flying, and that they will re-
fuse to lay down their srms-there arg no
longer distaffs-until q new revolution
has been proclaimed In favor of their sex
Breach Of promise cases In other coun-
tries. especially in England, have hitherto
proved an inexhaustible mine of humor to
the French journalists. They have told
US again and again that the principle Of
assessing pecuniary indemnity for SEN
timental damage may seem natural
enough to John Bull. to whom time Is
always money, including the time spent
in unsuccessful love making, but that 1t
is much too revolving to the instinct Of
Frenchmen for it ever to be admitted In
judicial practice here. Revolving to
Frenchmen the principle undoubtedly is.
but not SO to Frenchwomen. They hold
that all weapons that can be used against
the male who profits In many ways BY the
unfair division Of power between the
sexes are good to keep in reserve.-Paris

Hor.e. Gresl.r in California.

Greeley was q revelation to California
was In Sacramento when the great edi-
tor appeared on the scene froTa the over
land trip in the early fall think it was
in 1859. He had been advertised to speak.
and went direct from the stage coach to
the hall, where q large audience was i'm
patiently awaiting him.
Without removing his hat, which
perched as usual ON the back of his head.
Mr.. Greeley. In his long white overcost,
strode down the aisle amid thunders Of
applause. Still keeping his hat upon his
head, he was introduced to the chairman
of the meeting. and turned to speak. As
he did so he took of his hat, but began
talking rs he did 50, and not knowing ex-
actly where to place it, put 1t ON the desk
before him. The sight of this uncouth.
odd. earnest man, queerly garbed, with
odd gestures, instructing and entertain
ing a large mass Of his fellow men for an
hour and a half, was most suggestive.
As he proceeded, warming with his sub
ject. continuing his talk. he took off his
overcoat. and tossed 1t on q chair in the
rear.
He made great hit, with the old timers,
especially, and during his brief stay was
E0nized to his hearts content. l say to
his hearts content because there was q
great deal Of human nature In Greeley.
He was much more partial to praise. and
much more easily affected by 1t than many
people imagine.-Joe Howard in Once a

A Million of Years.

To the human understanding the vast
stretches of time involved in geological
history arc utterly incomprehensible. 1t
is not easy. indeed. to form an idea of
what period even million Of years is,
though Croll tells us how striking i'm
preston of such lapse may be conveyed to
the mind. Stretch piece of paper eighty
three feet four inches long around the
walls Of roorE somewhat over twenty
feet square. recall the events of life to
give some conception Of hundred years.
and then consider tnat mark one-tenth
of an inch broad at one end of the paper
represents the century. while the whole
strip gives place for only million years!
This illustration is worth trying.
Could we stand, continues the author
Of Climate and Time" upon the edge Of
gorge a mile and half In depth, that
had been cut out of the solid rock by a
tiny stream scarcely visible at the bottom
of this terrible abyss. and were we informed
that this little stresmlet was able to wear
off annually only one-tenth Of an inch from
Its rocky bed. what would our conception
be of the prodigious length of
time that this stream must have
taken to excavate the gorgef We
should certainly feel startled on finding
that the stream had performed this enor
nous amount of work In something less
than a million Of years. = Arkanssw

covering the end Of the sope attached to
the horns of flying steer; that is q thing
that every cowboy must learn to do so
that If after lassoing the steer the end Of
the lariat should slip from his hand he
can recover 1t while both he and the steer
are going full speed.

A Natural Soap Well.

A natural soap well has been discov-
cred sixty eight miles west of Buffalo
Gap. d. 7. The soap is SKINNED from a
boiling spring and hardens by exposure
to the air. 1t is like soft clay, and can be
gathered with shovel, and is supposed
to be mixture of alkali, borax and the
lubricsting oil found In many parts of
Wyoming. A sample has been tested by
= prominent Chicago soap manufacturer,
and he reported the discovery worth the
full weight of the manufactured article.
Parties surrounding the springs have
used the natural article as axle grease
by adding little Of the oil discovered
there, and it is pronounced the finest ma
terisl ever used for that purpose. The
soap will wash in the hardest of water
and leave the hands much softer than
the ordinary article. The supply is sup
posed to be inexhaustible.-Broo
