convey much of an idea of her length to
shore-going people, but it will strike sailors
as something little remarkable. It will

Returns from the French election in
dictate a Republican victory. Official re-
turns received from $50 election districts
show that 244 Republicans have been re-
turned and 159 members of the opposition.
Among the Republicans elected there are
sixteen Moderates and fifty-s seven Radicals.
The opposition members include eighty
six Royalists, tifty-one Bonapartists, and
twenty-five Boulangists. Reballots will
be necessary in TT divisions. It
is expected that 1876 of these will return
Republicans. In official circles a Govern

though the majority will not be large it will
be more compact and more homogeneous

Minister of Justice, has been re- elected.

DYSnanSia.

The dyspepsia is like the toothache;
no man sympathizes with it's miserable
possessor. Even the doctors have
fallen in with the popular heresy that
the best way to sympathize with
dyspeptic is to rail at him. When you
have dyspepsia every man you meet
asks you 10 go to lunch with him; ev-
cry house you pass is a restaurant;
every gale that blows watts to your
nostrils the odor of ham and eggs;
every newspaper is full of domestic
recipes; every wagon in the street is
loaded with edibles of some sort; the
only sign you see is Dinner now
Ready" or Supper Only Fifteen
Cents" why, even the beggars who
waylay you importune you for pennies
with which to buy something to eat"
Dyspepsia has its comp1acent side,
however, and if humored properly by
long and circumspect fasting, occa-
sionally gives its victims a season of
rest, and during these seasons, when
soever they occur, it behooves the dys-
peptic to improve his opportunity.
Hot mince pie with melted cheese! ha,
Uuor0 Is d U1Su tuaG Will COMPENSATE
you for weeks of torture! Then there
is nothing the matter (if We may be
pardoned the slang phrase) with a
Welsh rarebit, yet the hanqueter
should insist upon having nice, over
done, indigestible poached egg served
with the rarebit. But we shall-we
can go no further; it makes the mouth
water, the palate yearn, and the heart
throb to think of these precious boons,
and even in the midst of stomachic
paroxysms we feel constrained, like old
Louis NJ, to plead indulgence not only
for the sins we have committed but for
the sins which we hope to have the
pleasure of committing by-and-by-we
regret we cannot fix the exact date.
IT is well known that three-fourths
