the second in the series of popular American
histories to be known as the ''Story of the
States is to be issued in few days by the
D. Lathrop Company of Boston. The publl-
cation of this work at this stage of Ohio's
centennial celebration is at once timely ana

ise Of the publishers announcements of loyal
Ohioans will certainly welcome and approve
it. Adesire to popularizs American history
seems to have prompted this new series and
this is to be esteemed as one of thebe signs
of q growing public interest in something
more than the mere froth of literature. In
deed the increasing interest in anything bear

tYThe State Department has taken, with
out parade or buncombe, firm, attitude in
defense Of the rights of naturalized citizens
born in France. The French Government
has assumed the position that an American
citizen of French nativity taken for military
duty has redress only through the French
courts. Presidents Cleveland's Administra-
tion holds that France has no claim on such
person for any draft or summons occurring
after his American naturalization; that, once
naturalized in this country, his status is ex-
actly that of a native-born citizen, and that
he cannot thereafter become liable for any
obligation to any government other than that
of The United States. 5ft-S5 II

The Japaneso's Good Qualitiesi.

A recent writer in Japan suggests
that We should, instead of sending
them missionaries, ask them to send
us batch. He says: "The Japan
csc are temperate. To q visitor tea,
and not alcoholic liquors, is offered.
There are no standing bars in Japan,
and no public drinking Of liquors
that intoxicate. The Japanese are
polite. Their honesty is attested by
the fact that the shop is often left BY
the proprietor with nobody in while
he goes to q distant part of the city.
There are no bolts and bars on
public or private houses. The Japan
ese are humane. Horses are rarely
beaten, and oxen drawingloads have
awnings fastened over them, Cattle
for slaughter are carefully led. Gun
ming TOR sport is unknown. At school
the children of mobiles are poorly
dressed, to avoid injuring the feelings
of poorer children. They are also
remarkably hospitable and court
eous. "-Globe- Democrat.

COnQuoring A Bull.

In the History of Dummerston,*
Vermont, is related an incident which
shows what a powerful agent fearless
ness Is in conquering fierce animal.
A young man by the name of Wilder
was fond OF a good horse, and was an
expert rider. At one time he called at
an Inn to stay over night, and request
ed that his horse, a young and spirit
ed animal, might be turned out to
pasture, instead of being fed IN tho
barn.
When morning camo and he was
ready to resume his journey, he in.
formed the landlord that he would 90
and catch his horse himself, as it was
difficult for q stranger to approach
him. The landlord objected, because
ne had a savage bull in the pasture.
Nothing, however, could deter tho
young man from catching his own
horse. He laughed at the landlords
fears and said, IF the bull comes near
me, I'll give him lesson t he won't
Before venturing into the pasture,
he fastened on his feet a pair of large,
heavy spurs, which he sometimes wore
when riding horseback. The land.
lord watched his proceedings with
considerable anxiety.
The horse and the bull were feeding
near together, and Mr.. Wilder could
not catch his horse without attract
ing the attention OF the bull. The
latter animal fed quietly till he MOTTO
ed stranger approaching, when he
suddenly turned, and lowering his
head and believing, he made a. dash
at the young man.
MIR. Wilder, equal to the emergency,
lodged his enemy, and caught him in
such q manner rs to spring astride
his back. The young man now had
the advantage, and plunging the spurs
deep into the sides of the bull, com.
PEELED the frightened creature to run
and gal.op madly about. The bull
beloved loudly, and soon stopped,
conquered and trembling.
Mr.. Wilder then dismounted, gently
patted the animals side, and said,
"Good fellow! good fellow! You've
given me a good hard ride.'
The landlord, who had nerv ouslv
watched the scene, was so much
pleased with the young mans brave
exploit that he would take no paw
for his nights lodging, and ever after
gave him the freedom Ct his house
when he CHANGED that way.

A Queer Bank Note.
From the Hartford Times.


A. NJ. Craig Of Southington, has a
curiosity in the shape of a bank note,
on one side of which is q promise to
pay $40 and on the reverse 500. In
1861, among the notes made by the
government for the Second National
bank of Springfield, Mass, there was
an error in printing one sheet ofthree
bills, and they we're signed and paid
out, first to the town and then to the
fire department and then to the mer-
chants. The error was of course, at
once discovered and the bills called
in. Two of the number were found
and destroyed, but the third was lost.
Mr.. Craig not long ago was shown
some curiosities, among them this
bill. He made an offer for it which
was accepted. He has already been
offered over 5000 forit by curiosity
seekers.

Penalty for Being q Professional
Beauty.

Beauty.
Pail Mall Gazette.
Mrs. 14angtry, before she disappear
ed from English society, had seen
many other ladies raised by royal ia,
vor to the now extinct position OF
professional beauty" There is
hardly one of these ladies whose fate
is not worthy OF commiseration, and
whose confessions would not be valu-
able. Their reigns terminated in va:
rioqs ways: One offended by observ-
Ing that certain waist was not a.
thin as formerly; another, that a Ger.
tain head of hair was not as thick as
ofyore; third, in q festive moment,
poured q teaspoonful of ice cream
down a royal skirt collar; q fourth
falsely and wickedly stated to her
friends that q certain bracelet was q
royal gift, whereas, in truth and in
fact, it was bought out of the hard
earnings OF her husbands brains. The
position of reigning favorite involved
untold expenses, for to know the
prince involved knowing his set, who
were. numerous and thirsty, and
for whose accommodation, in q house
often of tho finest, tho friends of a
LISTING had perforce to be discarded.
Fulsome was the audulation poured
upon the beauty during her brief reign,
and cruel were the sights and snubs
put upon her whom it ended, and whom
nothing remained to remind her of it
bnt shattered health, an alienated
husband, and an infuriated father-in-
Law: In such circumstances there is
nothing for lovely woman to do but
