A HEALTHY COUNTRY.

Tables and statistics of recent date
show that the average duration of life
in this country is rather ahead of most
other countries, but it is claimed that a
late census of Chill shows great num-
Der of people who are IN their second
century. 1t is not very improbable that
out of 2.5OO,0OO people there should be
500 above 100 years old. One man gives
his age as $50 years, woman claims to
have seen 1873 summers, and scores
range from 1876 down to 12O. At Ito
there are ninety-one. There may be
good deal of distrust Of these extreme
figures. The parties forget, or have a
good deal of imagination. They are
like the darkies in this country. Out of
every million $50 claim to he over 100
years. while only twenty whites report
such figures. Ignorant people are very
apt to be confused and unreliable as to
their age.

A MONOPOLY PARTY.

The farmers in Connecticut are very
indignant at the veto of the oleomarga-
rine bill by the governor. One of their
gatherings resolved that sit was vital
blow at the only farm product that
brings cash return to the agricultur-
ist." and they pledge themselves to
withdraw their support from the party
that thus shows itself against the p1os-
perity and business life of the farmers"
The case is Illustrative of the spirit of
the two political parties. The Repub-
lican is habitually subservient to the
mOnopolies. The national act taxing
and branding the bogus article is vir-
tually a Democratic law. 1t was en-
acted by Democratic congress and
signed by Mr.. CLEVELAND in face
of the arguments thathave been used so
etfectually with the Republican gov
ernor of Connecticut.

A DIsGRUNTI.ED ORGAN.

Smarting under the failure of it's
party'S tactics to retain control of the
council organization, the Pioneer Press
of yesterday gave an exhibition of par
tisan malignity of which it ought to be
ashamed, and probably will be ashamed
when it coolS off. Its statement that
Mr.. HAAlM is devoid of ability, and has
no more capacity to perform the duties
of the presiding officer than any one of
the numerous saloonkeepers in the city,
was intended for dirty fling at that
gentleman; but it missed the mark, SIM
ply because there is no man in this city
better known than WILLIAM HAMM,
and he is known by all to
be young gentleman of excep-
tiOnal ability and possessing all the
qualities to adorn any public station to
which his townsmen may elevate him.
He is gentleman OF more culture than
some of his critics. and, as young as he
is, has demonstrated his executive abil-
ity by his success in managing a NAM
meth business enterprise. These facts
are so we'll known to the people of this
city, the wonder is that any one could
be so blinded by partisan prejudice as
to make a contrary statement. In it's
frightfully disgruntled condition be-
cause of Mr.. HAMM's election, the
Pioneer Press also travels out of its
way to say mean things about Alder
man Book, who had the good sense and
the independence to rise above the low
plane of partisanship and break the
council deadlock by casting his vote for
gentleman whom he knew to be quail
fed. Instead of censure, Mr.. Book
merits the praise OF all conservative
and fair-minded citizens for his indie
pendence.

Paris Correspondence of Indianapolis Jour-
nal.
As it is the custom of American girls
to go about the streets of their city dur
ing the day without escorts. they are
very apt to follow that habit when they
come to Paris. Of course, there are
regular European travellers from
our side who are acquainted
with the various customs of all
countries and adapt themselves accord
ingly, thereby escaping considerable
embarrassment in their journeyingS.
But this is special, year when fully
three-quarters of the visitors in Paris
have never till now, been outside their
native states. They bring their provin-
cial habits with them, and are constant
ly dropping into situations in the most
innocent way that are often very I'M
pleasant.
1t is an unacceptable fact that the men
of Paris place the women who go about
alone gazing in at shop windows in pre-
ciSely one category. They would not
hesitate about approaching and speak
ing to any young woman whose appear
ance caught their fancy. Now, as
the city at this moment con-
tains some of the faireSt flowers
of American lovelineSS. aud as many of
these are the freshest and least-in-
formed beauties of all that our country
grows, the unpleasant incidents of the
street that have occurred thus far in the
season would fill book of adventure.
/ knew of one most estimable girl from
San Francisco, with glorious face and
a rather dashing style, who was stroll
ing along alone one recent morning
shops along the Rue de Castiglione.
She had only been in town
day or two, and had hitherto
gone about with her mothor,
who is her only travelling compan-
ion. A good-looking and well-dressed
young fellow had been observing her
for long time without her being aware
of it. and when she halted in her walk
and looked about for fiacre to take her
back to her hotel, she was greatly sur
prsed when this young man advanced,
with his hat raised, and askedi in French
If he could assist her in securing con-
veyance. The young lady glanced
quickly at him and, not understanding
that she could not speak French, and
that she did not know who was adj
dressing her. Immediately the
young man blushed deeply and be-
came far more embarrassed than the
girl. In the best of English he endeav-
ored to beg her pardon, declaring that
he had made very grave mistake;
that he was an American and took
her for a Parisienne. The girl really
thought that lie had spoken to her
under the impression that he knew her,
and smiled upon him when he departed,
relishing the humor of his mistake. She
was not aware of the true merits of the
thing until she happened to tell of it in
the evening at the hotel, and received
some well-worded advice from a friend
present not to go out OIL the boulevard
without her mother or gentleman &C.
cOmpanying her.

PARIS, June 6.-An exciting scene
occurred in the chamber of deputies
to-day when NJ. Ferry rose to speak on

M. Ferry remained standing in his
place, coolly waiting for an opportunity
to be heard, but his enemies kept up
the cry, ''The blood of the Tonquin
dead choke you," while insults OF the
coarsest nature were hurled at him fast
and thick. When the angry deputies
had quieted down somewhat from sheer
exhaustion, Paul de Cassagnac rose,
and, with contemptuous nod in the
direction of the ex-premier, said: ''Let
US submit to this infliction. Let us lis
