THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.

At this distance the danger of imme-
date disaster to the French republic or
the peace of Europe from any result of
the French elections to-day does not
seem very formidable. The success OF
the BoULANGER faction would not be
inferred from any of the later evidences
of the popular temper. No doubt such
an event would be looked upon with
disfavor by Germany, and, perhaps, con-
strued as menace. 1t is insisted, on
the other hand, by those who interpret
political matters overs the water. that
the defeat of the BoULANGER element
would mean alliance with Russia, and
this would tend to antagOnize the OPP
posing alliance, and hasten the use of
the smokless powder and long range
guns. There are, however, financial
difficulties in the way of war, and other
potent influences that tend to the con-
tinuanee of peace. 1t may be strongly
presumed that there will be no war in
Europe in any early period.

CHICAGO INDEPENDENCE.

As another reason for having the
worlds fair at Chicago, it has maiden
ladies willing to assert themselves as
such and ask no coincidence from any
sex. One of these the other day, in
imitation of the custom of celebrating
wedding anniversaries, issued cards on
birch bark inviting her friends to meet
with her and celebrate the fifth all
niversary of her spinsterhO0d. That
term is understood to apply after the
thirtieth year, making her thirty-ive
years of age. There are probably few
presidents for this sort of celebration,
and. in fact, there are rare authenti-
Gated cases of that age being reached
by maiden ladies. 1t is rather good
idea to inaugurate. Old maids have as
much right to celebrate their eraS and
jubilate over their independence as old
bachelors. They had far better never
marry than to take worthless man to
support. Old maids should be as proud
as anybody.

THE INSANE PLEA.

The insanity dodge has been worked
so vigorously in murder trials that its
force is about expended, and unless the
insanity appears so plainly that he who
runs may read the modern juryman
does not attach much Importance to the
testimony of experts. The insanity
plea is reSOrted to so much by lawyers
who can present no other theory for the
commission of crime that a popular
prejudice has been created against it,
and as a result there is a strong proba-
bility that many person has suffered
the extreme penalties of the law for
crimes Tor which they were not morally
responsible. We little realize how
much insanity there is in the world.
Only when it appears in the acute
form do we take notice of it. The
mind is many-stringed instrument,
which requires every chord to be in
healthy state to create perfect har-
mony. One may be strained and broken,
while all the others, when touched, give
forth their own unimpaired tones. 1t is
a matter of history that TAsso COM
posed his most eloquent and imprisoned
verses during parOXysms of insanity.
LUCRETIUs wrote his immortal poem,
DE Rerum Natura," when suffering
from an attack of mental alteration.
ALEXANDER CRUDEN compiled his
concordance while insane. Some of
the ablest articles in AIKEN's biography
were written by patient in a lunatic
asylum. Sublime inventions have sprung
from the labors of disOrdered intellects,
and exquisite statuary has sprung up at
their bidding. Subtlety, quickness Of
apprehension, ready wit. biting sarcasm,
extreme cunning and extraordinary
shrewdneSs are often characteristics
of the insane. The great power
of self-cOntrol, as well as the wonderful
mastery they have occasionally been
known to exercise over their acknowl-
edged delusions, has often been re-
marked by those who have had the care
of insane patients. The renowned
ERsKINE tells of man whom he once
examined in court with view to the
discovery of his mental alienation; and.

S;n,rIe Rhaunatic Cure

The idea that rheumatism could be
cured by the sting of bee has been
looked upon as Ducolic humor. But a
learned physician in one of the old
countries is credited with having expert
mented on this line sufficiently to assert
1t to be the fact that the little honey
gatherer has the infallible anJidote in
his little spear. The poison injected
renders the system proof against the
rheumatic attacks. Probably some
would hesitate at what seems rather
heroic treatment, but provision could be
made for exposure of but a limited sur
face to their attacks. 1t would be like
whisky in the case of snake bites. Still.
the authority is remote, and there will
be more confidence in the remedy when
some of the locally afflicted report hav-
ing given it a successful trial.

MICHIGAN MINERAL WEALTH
Ore Shipments From Marquette
Pass the 100000 Mark.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 21.-The
shipments of iron ore by lake to date
have passed the 100000 mark, this
weeks work carrying the total up to
5.lO3.17 gross tons, which is 1,94l,669
tons above the quantity that had been
forwarded at the corresponding date
last year, and the shipment for the
week footed up 1926 tons, of which
amount 1912 tons went from Mar
quette. 81, no from Escanaba, 1888
from Ashland, 23,790 from Two Har-
bors. 2,O42 FROM st. Ignace and 1890
from Gladstone. The last weeks ship
ments were fully up to the average for
the season. and the indications now are
that the output of the mines for 1889
will easily reach 100000 tons, and may
somewhat exceed that figure.

Covered Him

"While in Salt Lake
City, recently" said
A. &. Gunter, the we'll
known author and
playwright. 81 met the

venerable Gen. Conner,
who at the head of regiment of Cali
fOrnia volunteers marched from San
Francisco to Salt Lake in 1868 and saved
Utah from going out on little rebellion
of her own. The old gentleman is as
gallant a soldier and as good Republi-
can as ever, in spite of what his friends
think is the shameful way in which he
has been treated by the Harrison adj
ministration. Gen. C0nner'S war record
is one OF the most famous on the roster.
He built Camp Douglas, just out of
Salt Lake and for years held the REBEL
Gus Mormons in subsection. He led a
regiment of cavalry and q couple of
companies of infantry I'D to the now
historic battle-ground near Bear river,
on the Utah and Idaho line, and almost,
wiped out the hoStlleS who had gath
cred there to massacre the settlers in
Idaho and to stand in with the Nor
mons in plundering the supply trains
which came down the mountain trail
from Virginia city, Helena and the
great Montana mining camps for sup
plies to be got in those days only at Salt
Lake City. The mercury was 20 deg.
below zero when, sending the in
fantry ahead with his sup
plies and following them Sc
eretly in. the night with his cavalry,
to throw the Mormon traitors off the
track, Gen. Conner marched up to the
bloody fight. Well, he covered himself
with glory, as he did in all his fights,
and saved the settlers lives. He has
lived in Salt Lake ever since, always a
sturdy Republican. He wanted an Office
in tab, or his friends wanted it for
him. from the Harrison administration.
Did he get it? Byno means. Ex-Sena-
tor Saunders, Russell HarrisOn'S father
in-law, was made Utah commissioner,
and some other friend or relative of
the family was made United States
marshal. The old soldier got nothing"

left other material mementOes. A votary

Mr.. Window, the secretary of the

the industry and enterprise of American
