informed YOU Il, short time. ago that the
severe cold and snow had rendered the.wOlves
in different parts of France extremely bold
and enterprising. They had entered towns
and villages in bands in broad daylight. but
1 think that the following adventure is with
out d precedent even in. the experience of
Russian peasants. The cavalry quartered at
JOigny, in the Department. Of the YOnne,
were exercising IN the neighbOEing district.
Two troopers who. were riding together came
suddenly on a huge. wolf. which, without a
moments warning. sprang upon the nearest
horse. The rider promptly disElGUnting,
attacked the savage brute with hiSsaber, but
instead of turning tail the wolf showed fight,
and but for the appearance on tine scene of a
peasant, who handed. the soldier a gun, with
which to peedily put '-LsengFHnz hOrs du
combat, it might have gone very hard with
the dragOOn. Proud of his performance the
'cOnQuering hero hOisJed the carcass on to
his saddle and bore 1t in triumph back to the
barracks. He did not know at tine time IN so
doing he had secured a reward Of upwards of
eight pounds, the reeOmpense promised to
any one who makes away with a Wild animal
which, as the phrase goes has thrown itself
on human beings Eb was at first appre-
hended that the wolf which had bitten and
scratched the bold dragon might have been
held by the. veterinary surgeon Of the regi-
ment. The fierce brute, however, was in the
best of health, and its pugnaciOus attitude
was prompted solely by it's natural ferOcity.
The weight Of the wolf was four hundred
pounds.

Lost Husbands Found.

From the London Daily telegraph.
The heroes of the best known American le-
gend and one of our most pathetic English
pOems-Rip Van Wrinkle and EnOch Arden
have turned up together in France. Two
French soldiers have come back from Ger
many to the astOnishment of their families
who believed them to be dead. They were
taken prisoners IN 1870, and IN the course of
their captivity, they committed serious as
saults on Prussian soldiers who We're set over
them. For these Onenses they were sentenced
to long terms of incarceration in fOItresses
ana we're not allowed to communicate to
their friends. Nor when peace came in 1871
were they included in the prisoners of war re-
leased On the accession of the Emperor
Frederick an amnesty was prepared, and it
included the Frenchmen, who straightWay
Set out on their return to France, They
reached IssOudun, their native town to
see several changes. One found his wife
married a second time and the mother. of
many children. The other had left his wife in
1870 on the eve Of her confinement, and; re-
turned to ind son of 10, whom he. had
never seen, and who had been married some
months 1t Is easy to conceive the confusion
Of fact and of feeling that must arise in such
eases. Rip Van Wrinkle in the story discovers
that IN his long absence he has exPiated his
Old Ohenses, and his wife prefers her frsb
husband, gOOd-humOred, gOOd-fOr-nOthing,
that he was, to her hard -grasping. selfish
second mate. EnOch Arden, with noble yst
plteOus selt-denial, refuses to make himself
known. Few readers can forget the lines IN
which TennysOn depicts his feeling as be4OOlea
upon his lost home The long-iost French
man had not the opportunity perhaps not
the InchnatiOn-tO exercise similar herOisEa.
Their return was announced before they up
peared, and the whole village, as. well as their
wives, had heard Of their long captivity and
unexpected arrival. The situation is certain

Swallows Invade a steamer at Sea.

From the London Daily Telegraph
a rather curious episode in natural history
occurred the other day on board the French
steamboat Abd-el-Kader during the passa re
from Marseilles to Algiers. Just as the vessel
was about two hours out the sky became
quite black with swallows. 1T vas then about
. O'Clock in the evening. The birds alighted
in thousands on the sails, ropes and yards Of
the Abd-eEkader. Aftera perky survey of the
deck from their eIninences alGft they descend
ed cooily on deck, hoped about among the
sailors and passengers and eventually found
Inelr way into the cabin both fore and aft.
The birds were evidently fatigued afJera long
hight and allowed themselves to be caught bY
the people OF the ship, who gave them a well
which they enjoyed heartily Thelittle winged
strangers remained all night on the vessel
ana IN the morning, at O'Clock, the head
lookout bird no doubt sighted the BaleaTic
Isles, for the whole flock made for land after
having spent comfortable and refreshing
night on board ship.

A French Monopoly oyerthrowu.

An enterprising German leather man.
ufacturer has discovered a way to tan
American kid skins so that they become
in every way superior to the French ar
ticle in durability and finish.
The process Of tanning is performed
entirely by American workmen, and the
skins sell for from so to 20 per cent. less
than the French. Not only are the shoe
manufacturers all over the country using
the new product, but already thousands
of dollars worth have been exported to
Germany, France and Austria. The
dressing Of kid skins was almost monop-
olized by France until this manufacturer
hit upon an idea better than theirs

CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
.s-EsTs.

The newspapers Of the State are
not paying sufficient attention to the
Constitutional amendments which
are to be voted upon 1t the ap-
preaching elecilon. 1t Is a matte
OF grave ihpoftance, aad unless
some uniioFm action Is dscided up,
on by the County Committees hay
ing charge Of the printing Of tick
cts. the whole thing is almost Ger
tain to 20 by default. Each one
las to receive majority OF all the
votes cast, 30 that svery ballo'
without the voters preference BE-
in designated, counts against tht
adoption OF the Amendments, til
same as though they had been cas-
in the negative. The same rule OBJ
tain5 concerning the calling OF a
Constitutional Convention, which
proposition was once submitted TO
the people and lost, although =
large majority of those who ex-
pressed their preference voted II
the affirmative. The amendments
which are proposed. We are confident
meet the approval OF a large ma
iority OF the voters OF the State, hu
in the excitement OF a Presidential
contest they are liable to be los.
sight of, and the propositions de
featei through the failure OF the
people to vote upon them This
will most certainly prove true II the
tickets are generally Issued with
both the affirmative and negative
expressions appearing upon them
A majority Of the voters will not
take the trouble to cross of the one
they dlsapprove. aud the conse-
auence will be the defeat OF all OF
the Amendments and also the call
for Il Constitutional Convention.
There have been nnmoer o.
Intellectual attempts made TO amend
our Constitution 50 as to CONFORM
to the changed condition OF things
In the State since its adoption, and
unless the County Committees take
the matter in hand, the present Ell
fort will prove as futile as its prede-
cessors- During the session Of
1855, 4 joi..t Committee OF the two
Houses was appointed to make a
thorough revision OF our funda-
mental laws. The Committee spent
q great deal OF time upon its work,
and submitted q series OF amend
ments which were adopted by the
LEGISLATURE. At the following ses-
SION, however, when the matter
came up Tor action, it was found
that the whole thing was knocked
in the head on account OF the fall
ure Of the Clerk OF the Assembly to
copy the proposed amendments IN
the journal OF that body. Con-
sidering the many failures, we be-
lieve that the County Committees
of the two parties would be per-
fectly justified in issuing the tick
cts with only the affirmative vote
recorded thereon. In no other
manner can any result be-ebtainsd
and in no other manner can the
needed Constitutional reform bs
inauguratcd IN the State.
