New French Nobility.

Alexandra Dumas has written an
open letter to q friend in which lie
gives an amusing illustration of the
way IN which the humble French citi-
zen seeks to attach to himself a title of
mobility He had a friend by the
name of Bernard, who all of a sudden
appeared under the guise of NJ de
ChaGtcville.
He sent me an invitation to hunt
ing party on his estate and appended
. postscript: You must not he sur
Prised. nor indulge IN too much laugh
ter, If ecu hear me addressed at N. de
Chantcville.' He explained to me that,
as he WAS the only landed proprietor
within twenty miles who did not pre-
fix particle to his name, he had
found himself compelled TO assume a
mask of nobility IN order to be able to
associate with his neighbors. the titles
of most of whom had probably origi-
mated i'll just this way. With my
simple name of Bernard, he said, the
game bclters would have taken me
for one of themselves. and even the
hound servants would not have recog-
nized nc.
:. But why the name of Chante-
villei' inquired. 1 discovered In the
papers OF my ancestors that my pater-
nal grandmother was to have married
81 dc Chanteville. The marriage
never took place owing to the death of
the suitor. Had he survived, my
grandmother would have welded him,
my father would have borne the name
OF De Chanteville, and so should L
l revive this name to which no one
can lay claim, and really bear it
crediiably.' The explanation was sat
isfactory- When my friend died, the
family retained the name of De Chan
tevilie and so the title was conse-
crated"-Philadelphia Telegraph

There are thirteen islands in DE I

There are thirteen islands in the
Samoan gronp-only three of them
of any considerable value-with q
population less numerous than that
of the city of Harrisburg. As a
place of call for vessels trading be-
tween our Pacific ports and New
Zealand the United States have a
remote and roundabout interest in
friendly relations with the inhabi-
tants; but the interest is more spec
ulatiye than real. There is moth
ing in Samoa for either America or
Germany worth fighting for.

Another big gasser has been
struck near Marietta at depth of
fifteen hundred feet. The pressure
is said to be very high, and the
amount of gas enough to supply
several cities of the size of that
town. A company will commence
at once the laying of pipes to convey
the gas into the city.
