Russia certainly desires to see France regain
her legitimate position among the nations
which is necessary to preserve the equilibrium
of Europe, but she is convinced that peace is
for the interest of both France and Russia.
Such insinuations, therefore, can only injure
the cause they claim to defend.
THE TROOPS ON THE FRONTIER.
1t is officially declared that the assertions
made by the Kreuz Zeitung and Post of
Berlin that the redistribution of troops in
Western Russia implied an advance, and
that Russian garrisons on the frontier have
been strengthened by two, and in some
cases three divisions are without founda-
tion. According to the latest army list the
headquarters Of all the divisions mentioned
in the recent ukase are stations in localities
corresponding to Rayons Of their respective
army corps.
THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS.
The only exceptions to this rule are as
follows: Thirty-third infantry division,
having headquarters at Kieff, will join the
Ninth army corps at Orel; the Nineteenth
infantry division, with headquarters at
Stavropel. will join the Twelfth army
corps at Kieff the Eighth infantry division,
with headquarters at Warsaw, and the
Thirteenth cavalry division. with head
quarters at Lublin, will join the Fifteenth
army corps at Kasan. The changes in
volve the recall of two infantry and one
cavalry divisions from the west TO the east,
and a reduction of the infantry division of
the Caucasian army.

MINISTER'S OF THE COLONIES.

pointmentS from London.
MELBOURNE, Nov. l6.-The assembly to-
day debated the abstract right of the col
onies to take part in the nomination of their
respective governors. The premier, with
out discussing the Queensland question,
pointed out that the constitution
gave to the queen alone the
power of appointment, her majesty
acting on the advice of ministers
responsible to the imperial parliament. He
called particular attention to the prohabil-
ity of a deadlock if the selection of a gov
ernor rested with both the colonial and
imperial parliaments. He refused to indorse
such a scheme, and SAID he was confident
that the less the colonies insisted upon
sharing in the power to appoint or nomi-
nate, the better it would be for the colonies.
The premier's remarks were received with
cheers. Other members spoke in a similar
strain.
QUEENsLAND's GovERNORsHIP.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-Sir Arthur Hunter
Palmer, acting governor of Queensland,
has telegraphed to Lord Knutsford, coloaial
secretary, notifying him of opposition in
the colony to the appointment of Henry
Arthur Blake as governor. He says that
Mr. Blake is not known to have admins
tered a responsible government with discre-
tion and success, and that Queensland is
entitled to have a governor of proved
ability and discretion. Mr.. Blake's ex-
perience in colonial governorshipis confined
to years governorship of Newfoundland,
while his previous experience would only
disqualify him for the duties he would be
called on to perform.
THE OBJECTION TO BLAKE.
The objection to Mr.. Blake in Queens
land, Gov. Palmer says, was spontaneous,
immediate and general, and was more
strongly accentuated because the nomina-
tion followed crisis in which rigid adher-
ence to tho exercise of the privilege had to
give way to responsible government.
The governor cannot be appointed from an
imperial standpoint alone, continues Gov
Palmer. The colony pays his salary and
expects him to be a governor of whom the
people approve and who will work heartily
and loyalty for the colony's interest.

40 Rounds, q. 81

On the return of the 18th corps from
the relief of Knoxville, after having
marched all the way from Memphis
and back to Chattanooga, soldier of
the 6th Missouri--one of Sherman's
bummers. an Irishman who had been @
roustabout on the levees of st. Louis
came struggling along behind the
column on cold, dreary day for that
section; his knapsack slung on one
shoulder, his blanket over the other;
across his breast and tied at his left
hip, a greasy, but empty hayersack;
his pants worn and rent in many places
and in others sewed up with cord; no
peak to his cap, his musket at reversed
arms" and altogether presenting the
appearance of general disgust and de-
moralization. OFF from the road he
was attracted by a headquarters tent and
sentinel in neat and comfortable uni
form, whom he approached and accost-
ed, when the following dialogue ensued:

Advice to Young Men.

Remember you have to work.
Whether you handle a pick or pen, a
wheelbarrow or set OF books, dig
ging bitches or editing a paper, ring
ing an auction bell or writing funny
things, you must work. If you look
around you you will see that the men
who are most able to live the rest OF
their days without work are the men
that work the hardest. Don't be
afraid OF killing yourself with work. 1t
is beyond your power to do that. Men
can not work so hard as that on the
sunny side OF so. They die sometimes,
but it's because they quit work at G
P. NJ. and don't 90 home until "a. NJ.
It's the interval that kills. Work
gives an appetite for meals; it lends
solidity to your slumbers, it gives the
appreciation of a holiday. There are
young men that do not work, but the
world is not proud of them. 1t does
not even know their names; it simply
speaks of them as old So-and-So's
boys. Nobody likes them, nobody
hates them; the great, busy world
doesn't even know that they are there.
So find out what you want to be and
do, take off your coat and make a
dust in the world. The buster you
are the less deyiltry you will be apt to
get into, the sweeter will beyour sleep,
the brighter and happier your holi.
days. and the better satisfied will the
world be with you.-Hawkeye.

There was great curiosity on all hands

audience had assembled the screen
was removed and the body OF One.
