French Newspapers.

kNfAAhi ssi
While the primary quality of a good
English or American daily paper is news,
the primary quality of good French
paper is not news, but crticism-criti-
cism of politics in the first place, of
course, and in the second criticism Of
commerce, of law, of finance, of sci
ence, of art of literature, and of the
drama. The aim and ideal OF the best
French editors is to present not so
much the minor details of n fact, but
the best possible opinion on the fact.
OF mere brute news, minute particu-
lars of scandals. crimes, and horrors,
such as We here in America have dumped
upon our breakfast-table every morning,
with all the accompanying repetition and
accumulation of uninteresting fact-of
all this the reader of the Partisan journal
sees little or nothing. The childish or
unintelligent thirst to know what has
happened. regardless of the importance
of the event, has not yet been developed
in France by the rivalry of scrambling
editors, and it may be asserted, without
fear of contradiction, that even if they
could have it without cost and with
out trouble, French editors would re-
fuse to print most of the trivial trash
which cumbers the columns of even the
foremost American papers. 1t Is not
that some Partisan papers do not print
trivial trash and trash worse than trivial
the difference is rather in aim, the
French editor thinking first of criticism
and the American editor only too often
thinking of mere news-tirst, last, and
all the time. Yet the leading principle
which should govern even in news-gath
ering is better understood in Paris
than in London or New York. This
is the principle which has been aptly
called the perspective of news" and
by virture Of which trihing accidentin
the immediate neighborhood is of more
than great calamity a
thousand miles away. As Nillemessant
concisely put it: a dog run over on
the Boulevard des ltaliens is of more
to the Figaro than an
earthquake in Australia" If We sub
stitute for the injured dog picture ex-
hibited or a new play produced We have
lust the things about which the Partisan
papers give the most news.

RULED ny FOREIGsERS
Not u European Sovereign Who Be-
longs TO the Nation lie Governs.

A recent historical authority in the
Paris, W1tin shows it TO be fact
that not single one Of the ruling
sovereigus of Europe is native Of
the country over which he rules, or,
at least, his family did not have its
origin in that country. In Austria
the house of Hapsburg had its origin in
the Canton Of Algovie, in Switzerland.
The male line became extinct in 1740,
ard Maria Theresa, the last OF the Haps-
burgs, married Francis, Duke of Lor-
raine. who became the founder OF the
present ruling house-that is, the Fran
co-Swiss family of Hapsburg-Lor-
raine. 1t is not an Austrian who
is Emperor Of Austria, nor Hun
garian who is King of Hungary. Louis
Philippe Marie Victor Leopold, King of
the Belgians, Duke of Saxony, Prince
OF Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, is German.
Christian *, King of Denmark, be-
longs to the house of Holstein, an an
cient State in the German Confedera-
ton. The King Of Spain descends from
the family of Aniou Bourbon, an old
French house. The Queen Of England
(house of the Guel phs in Brunswick
Luneburg) is pure-blooded Ger
man. George l., King of the Greeks,
is a representative OF the house OF
Schleswig- Holstein -Sonderburg- Gluchs-
burg. He was bora at Copenhagen.
Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, AL
cibiades, Themistocles, and Periclespever
foresaw such an accident. Leonidas, per-
hnps, would have preferred Xerxes.
The King of Italy, with all respect to
him, is a Sayoyard. The house of Savoy
is one of the oldest reigning houses in
Europe, but it is not an Italian who
rules over Italy. William Ill, King OF
the Netherlands, belongs 20 the excellent
family OF Orange Nassau, which had
one foot in Vanclore and the other in
Weisbaden, but the King of Holland is
not a Dntchman. The Hohenzollerns
are originally from Swabia, which is
country Of mixed population. Bava-
rians and Swiss. The King of Prussia is
not an original Prussian. Charles I. OF
Roumania IS also HohenZollern. but
not a RoUmanian. The Gar, the great
Emperor of the North, is from the Danish
family of Holstein-Gottorp. He only
descended from the Romanofs through
the elder daughter of Peter the Great,
who married Frederick, a pure blooded
Dane. The Romanoffs themselves are a
Prussian family who happened TO estab-
lish themselves at Moscow. The Empe-
Tor OF Russia, therefore, is not an orIgi-
nal Russian. Oscar l., father OF the
ruling King of Sweden and Norway,
made an excellent marriage in espousing
Desiree Clary, who belonged to a family
very well known at Marseilles. He is,
then, neither Swede nor Norwegian.

locomotive lngiaeer.l


In n recent issuo of so.called me-
chanical paper was one OK these little
statements that amuse practical railroad
men. and at the same time show them
how little the writer knows OF the actual
facts in the case. In an article or the
burning of oil as fuel on locomotives,
the writer, a. usual, went on TO enumerate
the advantages aud the economy OF the
device, and among other things men
toned that il would reduce the expenses
OF the fireman's wages, as the engineer
could easily control the fire from his seat
by simply turning valve.
There are many reasons why one man
will never run locomotive alone, and
they are very plain 10 any man who Z" has
been there" There are more duties for
tiremap than merely shoveliing coal.
His duties are legion. He has supplies
to draw, lamps 10 I'LL and clean, the In
terror of cab 10 keep clear, the whole en-
CINE above the running board to care for,
front end and stack TO paint water to
take, bell TO ring. etc. These dutiescan-
not be perform d by the engineer his
duties, both on and off the road, are as
numerous as the iireman's they cannot
be intrustcd 10 round. house men, be-
cause they cannot know Just what Is
wanted, and it would take as long 10 ex-
plain to them as 70 do 1t.
ANY engineer who has ever sent his
fireman to flag on another train for few
miles and followed with the light engine
knows Just how oppressive the lonesome
ness gets. Ii is often necessary for some
one 10 go out in front 30 rellght or turn
up signal lamp or the headlight, put
out flag or dig down some sand. Can
the engineer go and leave the mighty To-
comotIve. with It's precious freight, lying
alongOyer crossings and bridges, through
cuts and towns, with no brain TO think,
no eye 10 see, or no hand 10 stay its
mad career in case Of sudden emer-
gency ? Can the engineer set his engine
at tank. 60 back 10 take water, find
spout too long or too short, and get
down and "jim around tail no does get
il right, take water, then oil, get up,
ring bell as be- wipes of oll-can, 60 over
on fireman's side to see signal, then get
back on his own side and phil ont ? Tho
travelling public would Kick. aud kick
vigorously. The delays would be de-
moralizing and the risk great. The only
legitimate and proper school for engi-
neers would lie sealed forever, and as
more engineers would be killed there
would be no skilled mon to take their
places.
In cases of sudden sickness or death
OF enginecr-suppose he fell oa-who is
there to stop the train? Who stopped
the Presidents special train few months
ago when the engineer was killed 10y a
broken side rod while running at high
rate of speed? The fireman, OF course.
The economy of saving the fireman's
wages in this case would be like saving
the expense of the roof Of a powder
magazine. The day Of one-man loco
motives in road service Is farther away
now than 1t ever WAS.

GEN. LONGsTREEr NOT A PAUPER.
The old Confederate Doesn't Need
Assistance, and says SO.

An Atlanta ga special says: Some
days ago the Atlanta Constitution pub
lished strong and touching appeal for
contributions to a fund for the relief or
General Longstreet, and described the
old soldier as "broken in health, help
less from wounds, and sadly straitened
in circumstances. This appeal was
based upon the belief that General
Lonsstreets acceptance few days be-
fore of the the States bounty OF S25
arose from necessity. First came letter
from Mrs. Longstreet begging that the
efforts to raise relief fund be discon-
tinued, snd that the money already con-
tributed be returned to the subscribers.
1.-THE General, Mrs. Longstreet says,
"though far from rich, is able with
what he owns, to live in comparative
comfort for the remainder of his life. f"
To-day General Longstreet writes /:
"Ihis action is not authorized nor war
ranted by facts. We may trust that it
was suggested by kindly motives. l beg
that you will return all remittances that
may be made in my favor to those who
may be so generous as to offer them"
The incident has served one purpose,
however, and that Is the years Of estrange-
ment between Longstreet and mis- old
soldiers because OF political differences
was easily set aside. The warmest ex-
pressions come to Longstreet from all
quarters. 1t is also remarkable that the
first cash contribution which was re.
ceived came from Federal soldier who
happened to be passing through the city.
He was James lutte, OF Jersey City, and
had served through the war as member
OF Meagher's Irish brigade.
At his country seat, one mile northeast
of Gainesville, and at the Piedmont
Hotel, which he owns, the Generals
farm consists OF 100 acres of land. This
place is worth from $4,000 to $1,000.
The hotel cost him $4,000. Besides
this he has some personal property. IL
he had the money which his real proper
~ is worth judiciously invested he would
be in easy circumstances. The General,
though growing old and gray, is very
active man, and is always on the "go."
He looks after his farm with watchful
eye, and spends great deal Of time in
his VINEYARD

Fatal Fire I'm Minnesota.

MINNEAPOLIS. January 2l.-A special
to the journal from Tower, ninety miles
north of Duluth, says that the boarding
house and saloon of Nelson Barnaby was
burned last night. 1t was a rickety
structure and burned so rapidly that it
was with difficulty that any one escaped.
Many OF the inmates jumped from upper
stories. but ten persisted in the flames.
Two other boarding-houses were burned,
but the inmates escaped. The pecuniary
loss was $4,000. The mercury was so
below, and absolutely nothing could be
done to extinguish the flames.

Reduction Of Wages.

READING, Pa, January 2l.-The
Brooke Iron Company, which operates

boro', in this county, to-day posted up
the following notice, addressed to the
furnace employees only: lowing to the

You will cheeriully accept it.
