A writer in the Economiste Fran
Gals estimates the total loss 10 France
from the ravages of the hylloxera since
1875, when the scouree OF the French
vineyards first made It's appearance, mt
the enormous sum of 10000, 000, 600
francs, or about G400, 0O0, 600. This
estimate is based upon French official
statistics giving the aggregate area OF
vineyards destroyed in the country as
about $500, 900 acres, and ON the as
sumption that. in addition to the acre
age of vines thus utterly destroyed, the
extent of vineyards more or less infested
with the phylloxera amounts to about
500, 900 acres, making thus together
100000 acres. The value of these
latter, which, according to the writer,
should be calculated from the gross
and not from the net revenue formerly
derived therefrom, is estimated at
ESQ, 900, 900. On adding to this amount
the loss occasioned through the out
fall in labor in the destroyed vineyards,
as we'll as by the vast importations of
foreign wines and grapes for wine-mak-
ing necessitated by the diminished pro-
dnction during the last thirteen years,
which is taken at G120, 900, 900, the
aforementioned sum is arrived at
London NelCs.

Mr.. BENTON and the Cattle.Dealer.

Thomas Benton once lived in Will
hanson County, Tennessee, at HILLSIDE
rough, which at one time was called
Benton" and practiced his profession
In the town of Franklin. / remember
an incident of his professional career
at that place. 1t seems that some en-
envy of Benton's had circulated story
that. while at school, he had appro-
priated five-shilling note belonging to
a sohoolfellow and hid il in his cravat.
While the story was not believed, Mr..
Benton, then a thriving practitioner,
was somewhat sensitive on the subject.
He was at one time engaged in the trial
of lawsuit in which shrewd and I'M
scrupulous cattle-trader was witness.
The latter had become somewhat fam
Gus through sharp trick he had played
upon a Methodist minister who came
to him to buy COW.
IL can let you have any COW in the
bunch" said old Jarnagin, except that
long-bagged red heifer you see over
there She is such good one / could
not part with her"
This, of course, had the effect. of
making the unsophisticated preacher
W tlldb
ular COW, and finally ended in his buy
ing her at about three times her actual
value, only to learn afterward that she
was an old and worthless COW which
Jarnagin had fixed up for heifer by
scraping out the hicks in her horns.
When this witness was put upon the
stand and it came Benton's time ~
cross-examine he opened up with the
following question, propounded in his
most exasperating manner:
"Are you not the Mr.. Jarnagin who
owned the long-bagged red heifer?"
Quick as flash old Jarnagin re-
torted
"Are you not the Mr.. Benton who
bid five-shilling note in his cravat 2"
White with fury, Mr.. Benton sprang
from his chair and dealt Jarnagin a
blow and in an instant they were roll
ing and tumbling over the floor Ben
ton was quite an exasperating man in
dealing with others, and an irascible
one himself. -Nashuill Democrat.

The Ohio Valley Centennial Exposition

One of the most important events in the
history of our country's wonderful growth
and progress is the great Centennial Ex-
position which opens at Cincinnati on
July and lasts for one hundred days, or
until October ~. Although the enterprise
is called The Ohio Valley Centennial
Exposition. or the hundredth anniversary
of the settlement of the Northwest Terri
tory, il is really national exposition in
every sense, as every State and Territory
is represented and will have splendid dis
plays of their productions and wares.
The National Government has appropri-
ated $50, 600 10 defray the expense of the
Government exhibit alone. Enormous
cases from the Smithsonian Institution and
other departments at Washington have ar
rived full of historical and art treasures
of the capital and will be on exhibition.
The area available for exhibition space in
the several vast halls constructed espe-
cially for the occasion is nearly $50. 900
square feet, besides nearly l00, 900 more
square feet for reception and restaurant
halls. The works of art already on the
ground for exhibition are insured for over
ST. 900, 900. Cincinnati has uniformly
been very successful with her expositions,
but this year the public spirit and enter
prise of her citizens have assumed ma
tional proportions and deserve national
support.

A Convenient Sweetheart.

Kosciusko Murphy has been engaged
to a number of ladies, but being of a
tickle nature, has always crawdished
out of marriage. Beside being gay
Lothario, Kosciusko is also poet. On
meeting Gus De Smith the latter re.
marked:
81 hear you are engaged again.
"Yes, I've been scooped again"
when are you going to get mar
ried?"
Heaven only knows"
What is the name of the fortunate
young lady?"
"Her name is Lucinda. That's one
reason why / engaged myself to her.
Because her name is Lucinda?"
"Just so. You see that's the name OF
two former sweethearts of mine, and j
can use on this present Lucinda the
sonnets used to write to my previous
Lucindas. She is the most convenient
fiancee I've had in the last ten years.

The Result OF Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among a discriminating people, it is
pretty good evidence that there is merit
somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have
met with such continued success and pop
ularity as has marked the progress of
BRANDRETH's PILLS, which, after trial
of over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier,
tonic, and Alternative ever introduced to the
public.
That this is the result of merit, and
that BRANDRETH's PILLS perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar located.

Stunned the Eastern Tutor.

J. p Whitney is millionaire who
lives at Rockland, Cal. He has Latin
professor who gets big salary to teach
Whitney's boys to read Ovid, and the
professor thinks he can read Latin with
both hands behind him.
One day Prof Cromwell brought a
Latin line to the Whitney tutor and
told him that the examiner had offered
s25 to any one who would give a cor
rect translation. The line reads as fol-
lows:
Qui crudis emin lectus albus ct spi.
ravit.
After a long wrestle with the line the
private tutor gave it up. The catch
comes on the first two words, and is
translated as follows:
Qui, who; crudis, raw. Qui crudis,

red, white, and blue" the whole SEN
