Dordogne by s., ,49s votes to S.. .745 given to

Conversation In Public Places.
Look for moment at conversation as we
overhear it on the street, the horse and steam
cars, Here we find ourselves involuntarily
deciding who ore those best acquainted with
the laws of polite society and good breeding.
Setting aside tho cause of deafness, we are
often annoyed at tho persistency with which
people in near proximity to ourselves en-
deavor, in conversation with their friends,
to enlig ghten all the others as to their private
affairs, business, poverty or wealth, friends,
servants, and what not. This is due partly
to home education in the matter of CONVEX
sation, and partly to the largely increasing
numbers of those who have acquired wealth
suddenly and have had no advantages OF
early education and culture, and who forget
that fine feathers do not always mako fine
birds.-Ellen Bliss Hooker in Good House.

the people indorse his former vigorous ad-

especially his brutally frank statement that
he expected an early war with Germany, and
intended to be fully prepared for it. For
that statement the conservative administra-

America represented to him that it would

took the responsibility and was most cordially
received. A great banquet was given in his
honor at Montreal, presided over by the
governor Of that province Also right
royal fete on the old battlefield Of Wolfe
and Montcalm near Quebec. The tact of
Gen, Boulanger and the eloquent fitness with
which he spoke assured him ''boom" on
his return to Paris, and was practically the
beginning of his political leadership.
We present view of the general in his
room at the Hotel du Louvre, copied from
large picture prepared for Le Monde Illus
tire, of Paris, by the artist Tiret Boguet. All
the halls near his room are crowded daily
with would be visitors, not one in ten Of
whom can secure access to him, and when he
appears in public his progress is continued
ovation. His supporters cry "Vive Boulan-
perw and utter untranslatable cries against
tho "Gcrman cabinet" dneaning the cabinet
which refuses to be anti Germany, while the
students yell ''Vive Ia republiquel Down
with the dictatorl" and then they fall to
breaking each others heads like good pa
triots. All this time the more prominent
supporters of the two factions are hurling at
each other such fierce epithets as make our
old war cries of "Copperhead" and 'Nigger
thief" seem like little pleasantries; and duels
are quite numerous French duels are pro-
verbally safe affairs, except, as Mark Twain
tells us, 'when the combatants catch cold"
but there have been some painful exceptions.
Thus Robert de Fanconnet had a rapier run
through his arm the other day, and Count de
Kelman received a thrust in the breast which
is likely to prove fatal Young Rochefort,
son of the Communist, or Radical, editor,
'pinked his man" while fighting in favor Of
Boulanger. Ofcourse, the popularity Of the
general, still more bis theatrical posing, has
offended some of his former allies, and the
way they manifest slight displeasure is
shown in this article III Le Paris edited by

THE CASE OF MARKLEY VS.. BOYER, AS
sault and battery, before Squire Beltz last
Saturday. In which Boyer paid the costs of
prosecution settles, so far as local Justices
are concerned, the extent to which public
school teachers dare inflict corporal pun
Ishment on scholars. Whilst the law speci-
fica.ly sets forth that the teacher ls 10 take
the place Of parent in the school room,. 1t
does not adyise the extent to which punish
ment Is to be inflicted, for the fact, no
doubt, that teachers are supposed to use
their own judgment in guaging the amount
OF punishment suitable for the case. The
idea Is enormously entertained by many
teachers that owing to the fact that no
specific form or extent of punishment is set
forth their power in this direction is un-
limited. It is wise that the teachers mind
should be disabused on this point, from the
fact that cases have been reported where
have been the result of an unnecessarily
severe punishment at the hands of teach
er who believes his power omnlpotent in
this direction. In consideration Of this
whilst they take the place of parent in
the school room, they must use parents
judgment in the infliction of corporeal pun
ishment, or, il the result of Saturday S case
be taken as a criterion, paw the costs of
prosecution in an assault and battery case.

Think of a woman weighing 600 pounds !
But just such specimen of human flesh
was on exhibi ion at the Dime for two
weeks. This woman was born at Trenton,
N. j., AMI is truly sight to behold. At
the same time and same place an "ossified
man" was on exhibition. This man is a
wondrous being. There is not Joint in
his whole body that he can move: he has
been thus for 2s years, and has to be fed
and handled like babe; he is absolutely
helpless and yet lives 'and is to all appear
ances reasonable being. He can talk for
the tongue is the only part of the body he
can move, This man is from New York
State. In his earlier days he was boat
man on the Erie canal and while boating
was hurt somehow from which ossification,
or inability to move a muscular joint in the
body took place.
The con est for Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee is over and Kisner
is the man. Whether the selection will
prove as fruitful as his friends anticipate
remains to be seen. But one thing about
this contest is that great cry has gone
forth over the whole country as TO its sig.
nificance, ETC., etc. In some circles 1t is an
anti-Randall victory. Many of the sup
porters of Kisner disclaim anv such notion
and declare that it. cannot be construed in
shis manner. Amongst these is w. f.
Harrity. Sanders would never have been
beat but for IIarrity's opposition to him.
Notwithstanding these disclosures it is all
over the oyer the country accepted as a de-
feat personally of Mr.. Randall and in
circles that are not for the best interest of
the Democratic party, 1t is construed as
reading the great Democratic Commoner
of Congress out of the party. This hi ari-
ty, so greatly manifested, at the primary
repulse of Mr.. Randall may all turn to
ashes, for there is no man who thrives
more under defeat. or becomes more fear
less under repulse than Randall. But all
this aside, can anybody impeach the Dem
ocracy of the Congressman from the Third
Penrsy lvania District? There are none, for
Randall is thoroughly Democratic upon
every cardinal or fundamental principle of
the Democratic party 1t is true that In
non-essential construction of the faith of
the party there is difference between him
and some other leaders; but in essential
matters there is unity. The reading out
process that has been inaugurated by the
the cranks will be rudely halted before
many months will have passed, for the
thud they will receive will produce sense
of realization. "Whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad"
