French Canadians in New England.

Who then need wonder at the predic- ton of an able New England statistician, that before the end of the first quarter of the next century that the French Cana dians in the New England states will out number the Angio-Saxon population? Why, we have ia them already consider bly, more than England conquered in CanadL, with thousands coming yearly from Quebec to join them. With such extraordinary progress achieved under So many disadvantages. the above pre- diction is far from improbable.
 The social philosopher and American patriot can find abundant food for specu- lation in the fact that against the Yankee family of one CT two children. and often none, the French Canadian will count his flock of from half a dozen to a dozen and a half. And the An glo-Saxon will doubtless continue to "go west to large extent, while the French Canadian will probably maintain and increase the movement to the southeast. So we shall have history repeating itself. We shall see the Nor mans overrunning and taking possession of another England by the worthy and beneiicent arts Of peace, and the judi ciOu5 employment of manners and DOW CTS which have enabled this people, from insignificant beginnings. under most un- favorable and discouraSing circum- stances, to build one vigorous state il North America within century, ana then undertake the rapid formation oi nother.-American Magazine.

,syzEslszsszs. A Horse in Tropical Africa.

Several incidents of recent African ex- ploration call to mind the stories that were told of the early travels of white men in this country. A white man on horseback is a very unusual spectacle in tropical Africa, and the animal Mir Hodister rode few months ago made almost as much of a sensation as the horses that Cortez introduced into Mex ico. Hodisters journey was a short one. extending only from Landana. on the coast, to Bona, on the Congo, but it led the traveller through a densely peopled region of which little is yet known.
 My horse,r he writes, made a great sensation. At sight of him all the women in the villages at first were pet riiied with astonishment. They stood mctionless, with their eyes fixed on the strange animal. Coming to themselves at last, with their hands raised above their heads, they raised their cry of 'Ho, ho, hor expressive of bOundless as tonishment. Some of them threw them selves upon the ground, smiting their breasts. Could it be, they said, that such great beast. with white man above him. was harmless? Such an ami nal must certainly eat black people.
 When weconvinced them at last that horse was harmless and that he was 6 very useful animal they ventured nearer They had no eyes for anything but the horse. As we passed through the vii lages many of the inhabitants followed us, The men turned back after mile or so, but many of the women. who showed the greatest interest and curi o5ity. followed us for three miles. Wher my horse trotted they trotted, too, theil eyes fixed on the beast. Unmindful O where they were stepping they fell int the furrows in the manioc fields, anC tumbled down in the tall grass The, kept pointing the animals out to the ba bies that were fastened on their backs From some of the villages deputation came to me asking me to stop while il their towns that they might have tim, to admire the prodigy"
 A whole menagerie of African curi osities would not excite so much atten ton in the civilized world as this hors aroused in a part of Africa where tn zebra never roams and no species o the horse family is known.-New YorI

4 Persian Bazaar.

Tn the bazaar, Tsheran, there are the silversmiths flIsfng the metal into ingots and bars, hammering at the plates, de signing, engraving, chasing and solder ing; tho work is seen in progress frum the very beginning. and woe be to the unfortunate wretch who shall be de tected in using alloy or an unnecessary quantity of solder. The workers in leather, in copper, in iron, the manu- lecturers of textile fabrics, all give q continuous industrial exhibition of their own, which is open to all the world, free gratis, for nothing" The confec- tioner produces his sw,eet stock in trade under the eye of the purchaser. The Persian likes to have everything made specially, and sits by to see it done, to make sure that what he buys Is fresh. and that he isn't cheated.
 It is not to be wondered at that the bazaars are the favorite lounge of the middle and lower classes. All day long the great arches of the bazaar are thronged by a noisy, pushing crowd, hurrying and gesticulating, but all in high good humor. Here come the noun tebank, the buffoons. the proprietors of dancing bears and monkeys, the street conjurors, and the man with the tame Gon the itinerant vendors of flowers, lettuce, pipes and hot tea; the sellers of eggs and poultry; the dealers in weapons and second hand clothing, and innu- merable hawkcrs.
 It is not to be wondered at that the European traveller finds it very difficult indeed to tear himself away from the in. numerable attractions of the Persian ba zaar. The bric-a-brac hunter may come upon priceless piece of faience, which he may possibly secure for a few pence Here one may occasionally pick up 2 numismatic treasure, which the owner 1! | glad to part with for little more thar the price of the metal; but here th( stranger must beware, for skillful for geries of old coin are not unknown, ever in Persia But there is one honest GUS tom invariable in the Persian bazaar: i purchaser is dissatisfied with his bar gain the seller is always ready to return him his money if he brings back wha he has bought within twenty-four hours This is custom never departed from Good Words.

WHEN certain desired ends are to be accomplished it is wonderful what an amount of elasticity is momentarily developed in the ordinarily rigid red tape regulations of government affairs. An instance of the kind is shown in the movement instigated by the Presi- dent to pardon Judge Advocate Gen eral David G. Sl m of his existing suspension; to restore him to his rank and then place him upon the retired list in order that a vacancy may be created for some favori:e of the ad- ministra;ioa. General Swain has ex- pressed willingness to play the part assigned him and tlie Army Retiring Board has made rigid examination of his robust physical condition, finally reaching conclusion that there was a mere suspicion of kidney disease ob. servable, which, if confirmed, would serve to incapacitate him for active -seEaice. The only prominent candi date fofrAyacaucy to be created i. General ek, the present Commis sioner of Pensions.

A later di ; patch announces that the Retiring Board failed to find General Swain incapacitated, the publicity given the matter having provoke too strong crit cism.

Inviting a Thrashing.

Port-auPrince. Jan. I9.-The steam ship Haytian Republic was run into by the Haytian gunboat Noyelle Uldrorm on the night of December 20th, infiicting slight damage The Haytian gunboat entered the harbor at full speed and when within 200 yards of the Hat,ian Republics helm suddenly chaaged her course and struck the vessel. Then ths engine was reversed and she backed 200 yards and again steamed at full speed until within short distance from the Hay tian Republic, when her course was slightly changed, just missing her. The gunboat WAS hailed both times but no answer WAS made. The Galena sent an armed boats crew to the of lending gunboat, when the cilam was made that the jamming of the tiller rope was the cause ot the collision Tie opinion prevails that 1t was a deliberate attempt to sink the released ship.
 The Galena officers met next day and demanded an investigation. The Haytian Republic will return to New York about February 18th. Admiral Luce wrote to Secretary Whitney that in case of thes illegal seizure of any other American vessels he would demand their release at the cannon't mouth" Hyppolite remains en camped twenty miles from Port-au Prlnce awaiting the overthrow O Legitime by his own people and ! peaceful surrender of the city. By not using force he wishes to wir the approval Of the southern department to his candidacy for president. Admira Luce has telegraphed for two more ships.

THE WEST CONDEMNED.
Arizona is Civilizati sn's Last and Great
 est Conquest.

The inhabitants of the old world have been swarming to Columbia's shores for upwards of three hundred years. The rise and progress of this free land, and it's splendid American characteristics, have allured from the overcrowded cities of Europe millions of strong men, whose brawn and brain has been utilized 10 build up and de velop this country.
 CiNiiization's vanguard turned its resolute face westward centuries ago, and it's trend and march has contin- ued unabated up to the closing years of the nineteenth century, and has reso- lutely refused to counter march.
 New countries possess the attraction for immigrants and venturesome men All their attraction and wealth which appeals to the spirit of venture are to be found in front as well as all the thrift and prudence, which seek out the better opportunities of life. Civil ization and human advancement is now making its last conquest on the OutpOsts of the American republic, and to-day the blessed Sabbath morn, far out on the borders of our country, on the backbone of this continent, in close proximity to the home of the ancient Montezuma in the Salt river valley, the torch of liberty and pro- gress is burning, lighted by American courage and American industry, and will continue to glow and increase in volume.
 In the first decade of the nineteenth century, an exploration sent out by the government, after ten months la- bors, returned and reported that all | the country west of the Mississippi was unfit for habitation; that the great and ponderous west, with hun dreds of millions of taxable property, and now the granary of America, was uninhabitable by reasons of the con stant rains and moistures.
 Thus perishes the solemn protest against the settlement of the great western continent, by the sombre seers of the nation. Fifteen years ago the same verdict was rendered against Arizona, the same protest entered and with the same results as the blow sinks into the rich lOam. Where these scientific Moguls said death Turk ed ID the train, the blossoms of ripen- ing fruit and the thrifty alfalfa rears is head, and prosperity and vigor ac companies the tireless ploughman Surely Arizona ia affiliations last and greatest conquest-Phenix Ga Zette.

The Contents of an Egsshell.

The weight of an ordinary new laid hens egg is from one and half to two and a half ounces avoirdupois. and the quantity of dry solid matter contained in it amounts to about two hundred grains. In 100 parts about 10 parts consist of shell. GO of white and 30 of yolk The white of the egg contains larger propor- ton of water than the yolk. It contains no fatty matter, but consists chiefly of albumen in a dissolved state All the fatty matter of the egg is accumulated in the yolk, which contains relatively a smaller proportion of nitrogenous matter and larger proportion of solid matter than the white. Therefore, in an alirnen- tary point of view. the white and the yoik differ considerably from each other, the former being mainly q simple solu- tion of albumen, the latter being a solu- ton of a modified form of albumen, to- gether with a quantity of fat.-Cassell's Domestic Dictionary.

Mexican and Spaniar<l.

The average Mexican, like the average American, is free with his money-neg- lectful to those little economies which Europeans understand so well, and, therefore, when a rich Mexican land owner is in need of a manager for an es- tate he looks about for frugal, thrifty Spaniard, who. if he does make money for himself, does not neglect his employ CTS interest. It is a common error among Americans to fancy the Spaniard as a boasting, proud fellow. averse to toll and preferring gentility in faded velvet coat to hard work and comfort. A witty Spaniard has said somewhere that all Spaniards are either Don Quix- otes or Sancho Panzas. and there is some measure of truth in this saying. The Sancho Panza class of Spaniard has the hard, homely sense of the New England farmer. and not little of the dry hulnor which the Yankee possesses ss by birth right. The Spanish language has thou sands of sharp and racy proverbs avaiia- ble for every day use, and the hard working Spaniard makes free use of them.
 Another Anglo-Saxon misconception fig that the Spaniard is man who is ever seeking a quarrel and whose temper is fiery and uncertain. There are streaks of romanticism in the Spaniard. and any amount of good qualities that wear well in every day life. He is patient, good humored. and will sharehis meal with an unfortunate countryman. There is much sturdy fiber left in the Spanish nation, which. we must not forget, dis puted the control of this hemisphere with ourselves for centuries, and left never to be erased marks of Spanish domination. The Spaniard resembles the Anglo-Saxon in his propensities for colonization. his willingness to emigrate, his capacity for hard work and certain arrogance the Anglo-Saxon or Spaniard never loses.-Cor. Boston Herald.

Rude, Rough Habit Equally Obnoxious

 Nothing makes man so obnoxious to bis fellow beings as a habit Of pushing; for it interieres at the same time with their com fort and their self respect. We can forgive tho person who treads upon our toes, as soon as the pang is past, for it may have been an oversight, and no generous mind bears malice for an unintentional wrong; but we always hate the man who deliberately squares h.s shoulders and elbows his way through q crowd, pushing against us with no more con cern than if we were so many posts. We know he does it of set purpose. because he considers his oN'n convenience of incalcuiably greater importance than ours, and therefore we resent his conduct.
 But this evil habit of pushing is by no means confined to the sterner sex. Woman, gentle woman, it must be confessed, is no whit behind her brother i'll this respect.

Kentucky's Mountain Beauties.

While the mountain men are generally unprepossessing in appearance, having thin frames thin faces thin scraggy beards and trembling open mouths, the young women are fair. Their cheeks are red their forms are plump and rounded their limbs taper and their car riage is graceful. When they laugh, which they do frequently and heartily. they show white teeth. in spite of the fact that they learn to smoke stoneware pipes with fish pole stems at an age that would compel northern man to marry a very young lass if he would have d wife with hearahle breath. The forms of tine mountain girls are such as nature provides. There are thousands of them who never saw a corset. and who never will. neither dc they bang their hair. but they are no less attractive. even to northern eyes. on account of either peculiarly, and if one doubts this. let him come down here and see for himself.

The yapaneso Wooden Shoe.

Clatter, chatter, clatterl What noise the people make as they go along the road! They all wear wooden sandals, and their stockings are a kind of rlitten with a finger for the big toe. During wet weather their sandals become stilts, and the whole Japanese nation increases its stature by three inches when it rsins. These sandals are held to the foot by straps coming over the toes, and there Is Q straw sole between the foot and the sandal of wood. A tall Japanese on stiit sandal closely approaches the ridicu- lous. He Sometimes tucks up his long gown under his belt to keep it from be- ing spattered by the mud, and the backs of his bare calves seem to be walking off with the man. The Japanese walk is peculiar. The men put their feet straight in front of them, like the American h. dian. They lift them high off the ground. and they have get there air about them. The women wabble and wabble; they bend over as they walk. and they have what is now in America the fashionable stride. Their little feet in sandals turn inward, and all female Japan is pigeon toed. Your Japanese beauty is not averse to showing her ankle, and the soul of the Japanese beau does not futter when he sees a two inch slice of cream colored skin above the three inch foot mitten. The Japanese shoe store is one of wooden ware rather than of leather, and the cob bier mends his shoe with the chisel and planer. G. Carpenters Letter.

The protracted storm of the current week was very unwelcome, not alone on account of the bodily discomfort it occasioned to the people of Globe, but chiefly because it has put a stop to freighting for two weeks. perhaps long CT. The storm began on Sunday evening and lasted until Thursday. The toial precipitation was 2.1{ inch es. On Tuesday morning Globe vii messed the rare occurrence of snow storm. For several hours the air rTas filled with feathery flakes, and for a little while the ground was white. On the Pinal and Sierra Ancha mountains the snowfall was unusually heavy. On the Finals it is reported to have been two feet deep on the level. At no time during the storm did the tenn perature in Globe sink to the freezing point.-Silver Belt.
