THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Billy Magee.
BY d. T. HEATH.

Have you ever heard of Billy Magee?
He lives by the forest deep;
Some foolish people there are who say
That Billy does never sleep.
For any hour of the day or night
You can hear him as he prowls
About in the forest, singing aloud,
Or answer ng the boot OF the owls.
No fear for any living thing,
Or dead, has Billy Magee;
And he knows more of bugs and birds
Than a natural histo.y.
He knows where the bluebird builds her nest
In the thorny locust tree,
And he knows the flowers on which to look
For the wild, wild honey bee
He knows how the bullfrog sings 90 loud,
How the toad can catch the flies;
He knows how the spider spins his web,
How the lark sings to the skies.
These ears of mine were made to hear
And these eyes of mine to see,
And that's the reason use them both"
Says jolly Billy Magee.

In October, 1887, the House of Bish-
ops appointed committee consisting Of
Bishop Coke, of the Diocese of Western
New York, Chairman; Bishop Potter,
of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
New York, and Bishop Lyman, of North
Carolina, to support the efforts being
made by Pere Hyacinthe in behalf of
the Gellican faith in France. Bishop
Coke familiarized himself with the ex-
act status of the cause he was to cham
pion by visit to Paris. He recently
opened crusade in New York City by
a sermon on "The National Significance
of Pere Hyacinthe's Work in France"
In the course of it he said: "Pere Hya-
cinthe is no longer the charming youth
who held thousands spell-bound be-
meath the vaults of Notre Dame. But
he is grand man, improved by long
suffering and experience, made more
eloquent by experience and matured
opinion, and just the man to go through
France and preach the Gospel of Chris
tianity. Our object is now to send this
prophet through France in the interests
of the grand work of reform, while the
city Of Paris is given a church essen

French Electoral system.

Since the French revolution the territory
OF France has been divided into departments
and these subdivided into ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Under the electoral law of 1875 each arron-
basement was represented by deputy, and
II Its population exceeded 100000, it was en-
titled to an additional deputy for each 100
600 or part Of 100000 beyond that number.
The method of electing these deputies was
the subject of long and exciting contention
in the Assembly in the fall lof 1876. Two
plans were proposed, one known as scrutin
Acknowledgement and the other as scrutin
de Hste. The government favored the former
method. but many Of the most DISTINGUISHED
OF the Republican leaders, among them Gam
Delta advocated scratin de Este. The differ
ence between these two systems Is this.
Under the ACCOMPLISHMENTS plan each orror
basement votes only for the deputv who % -
represent it. Under the scrut;n do TO-
every ACCOMPLISHMENT votes not only for he
own deputy but for the deputy Of every other
reimbursement In the department.
Inc dlnerence can be made plain
er by an Illustration. Our COMPRESSION
al elections are conducted on plan anala-
gous to scrutin d'drrondissement Each of
the four congressional districts into which
Maine is divided votes for only Que candi-
date for Congress. A few years ago it will
be remembered that the four candidates for
Congress from Maine were voted for by the
whole State. That was analogous to scrutin
de hste. The system of voting by arron-
basement after its adoption in 1875 remained
until 1885, when the scrutin de Iiste was sub
stituted. Now the Assembly has voted to go
back to the scrutin ACKNOWLEDGMENT system.
In 1875 Gambetta's friends favored the scru-
I'm dc hste plan because they thought it
would promote his fortunes by Sc
curing his return at the head of a great
many departmental tickets. Boulanger's
ilienas demonstrated its usefulness in this
oiiecslon by precisely the same method that
1amoelta's friends intended to employ had
scrutsn de aste been adopted in bis time.
They secured his return at the head ~ !

demonstrating that he had tremendons
hold on the French people. 1t was no doubt

II any one doubts whether the Looney bill will

In the legislature who make themselves most ac-
tive to defeat it.-Argus.
One Of the persons who has already made
himself very active in defeating 1t is Mr..
Edmund Madigan, a Democratic representa-
tive from Aroostook county. He was one of
the members of the committee on legal af-
fairs who signed the.majority report against
the bill. He belongs to party, too, that for
the last twenty years after every electionhas
shouted that the Republicans won their victo-
by bribery and oulldozing. And now when
a Republican offers measure calculated to
make bribery and intimidation more difficult
tho only Democrat who was in position to
speak authortatively for his party de-
clares that he does not want it. In
view of Mr.. Madigan's position it
would seem discreet ON the Argus's part to
seek to divert attention from the character
of the opposition to this bill rather than di-
rect it towards It,
