A New Liverpool.
From the Boston Courier.


France has opened a new port near
Rochelle. The inauguration took place
few days since. It is said it will soon
become the Liverpool of France. 1t is
convenient at once for the commerce OF
America and of the East. The port is
called Pallice. In the time of Louis
XII. a mole was constructed called the
''digue Richelieu," designed to lessen
commercial importance of the port of
Rochelle and of the city itself. That
mole has now been removed and the
port of Pallice has been established.
The preparation has been the work OF
years and has involved great expense,
to which the government that once en-
deavored to restrict commerce has con-
tributed largely with the view to in
crease it. The water in this new har-
Dor is sufficiently deep for vessels OF
the largest class, and the harbor is safe
and convenient. The government took
part in the Inauguration. The company
present at the inauguration was large
and the speeches were excellent. The
bishop of Rochelle, in presenting the
members of his clergy, said to Presl-
dent Carnot: "Placed at the head of
the government of France by the SUIT
frages of your fellow citizens, you re-
main not Indifferent to the in
terests of the country. The hearts
of my ministers beat as mine in
union with yours. And that is why
we have come to unite our most re-
spectful homages to those already of
fered to you. 1t is the second time we
have had that honor, and we are proud
of 1t; for, If our mission is to preserve
and defend the faith, we are not less
the devoted sons of our beloved coun-
try and we applaud all which contrib
utes to its glory"
M. Delmas, deputy and the mayor of
Rochelle, among other things, said:
eve are penetrated with a sentiment
that nothing in this world is the work Of
chance or of quietism. We build and
we preserve only by labor which is
obstinate; and this magnificent mara
time establishment will be only a use
less decoration if the industries fol-
which it is SO marvelously placed come
not to infuse life into it. In pure poll
tics" he continued, 1--WE are Demo
cratic to the bottom of our souls, as ou1
fathers were; and intending in this day
of fete and concert to avoid saying any
thing which may give Ofense, limit
myself to simply state that if we all have
the worship of liberty, none Of us
whatever be his flag, looks upon il
without respect to the Laws. In polltl.
cal economy, protection and free trade
appear to US, not as dogmas, but
uniquely as proceedings: 1t is neces
sary, we think, to use the one or the
other, by turns, with tact and moder-
alton accordingly as the best general in
terests of the company seem to require
and when s, Peter the Hermit Of the
other doctrine comes to declare that bis
church has the secret of safety, oul
merchants and our agriculturists cannot
repress SMILE Prosperity to Pallice
and Rochelle.

The Chinese as Farmers.
Thomas Magee in the Forum.

A year ago | sold for friend in San
Francisco Tot of land in then unbuilt
Western suburb. A Chinaman had
been using it as garden. The land was
sandy and had not more than 800 by $50
feet surface. The Chinaman, therefore,
had the full use of but about two and a
quarter acres. For this speck of ground
he regularly paid $75 a month, and he
lived on it with an assistant. He used
the land to grow vegetables, which he
sold to Cinnamon to be peddled through
the city. Despite the high rent he was
making money. The Rev. Mr.. Vrooman,
now Chinese interpreter in the Cali
fornia courts, who was for twenty-five
years missionary at Canton, and was
subsequently among the Chinese in
Melbourne, informed me that he knew
of two Chinese in the latter place who
made living for themselves and horse
from a quarter of ali acre of land. In
addition to thus supporting themselves
and the horse they each sent$50 yearly to
their relatives at home.
Chinese now rent at least SO, 600 acres
Of fruit and bottom lands within a
radius Of 100 miles of San Francisco,
for which they pay from four to ten
times what white lessee could afford
to pay for the same. Land in their
hands is farmed in earnest, and with
them its richness increases rather than
decreases

defense by the English stands without a
parallel in the annals of war. (3) Dur
ing the Thirty Years War, Olmutz,
taken by Torstensen in 1912, was be-
sieged or blockaded for six years, from
1912 to 1913, and was still held by the
Swedes in 1850, when they gave it up in
accordance with agreement, not COM
pulsion. Other examples of astonish-
ingly long sieges might be added. Con-
stantinople might be said to have been
besieged by either Persians or Turks
from AID. 626 to 675. From 668 to SIS
the Turks repeated their attacks yearly.
From 675 to 1853, when taken by assault
by Mahomed H., it was as much be-
sieged as Troy actually was, if at all, for
the poor Byzantine Greeks had to be on
their guard continually, and they were
liable to attack any month or year.

A Railroader's Proud Record.
From the Hartford Courant.

Mr.. Dennis Colgan, one of the old and
we'll known Irish citizens of Bridgeport,
yesterday completed his fortieth year of
continuous service with the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad !,
holding his present position as draw
tender of the railroad bridge at Bridge
port for the past thirtv-seven years.
Mr.. Coigan has been in several emer-
gencies, where he has displayed the
greatest nerve and presence ofmind.
One of the notable impending ac-
1867, when the noon express out Of New
York reached Bridgeport at 2:3O, and
after the usual halt at the depot moved
forward upon the bridge at the rate Of
eighteen miles an hour, neither the en-
gineer nor the conductor noticing that
the red-ball safety signal had been low
cred and that the heavy iron draw had
been opened to admit the passage of a
schooner The draw was still some 20
feet out of place, and the only hope for
the safety of the train was from the ex-
ertions of the bridge tender, who realiz-
ing. the danger, put forth every effort
and succeeded in closing the gap just IN
time. Even then he ran down the sim
gle track in the face of the advancing
engine and shot the bolt into it's socket,
or, the Dr1Qgo Dolng CreScenI-Snapeu,
the compact of the train would have
thrown the draw open again and precipi-
tated the engine into the water below.
He was just in time to push the pin into
its place and then drop between the ties
to the timbers beneath, as the train
Numbered over his head. Two weeks
after this narrow escape the Board of
Dire ctors of the railroad passed pre-
amble reciting the foregoing facts, and
also a resolution as token of their APP
probation of the heroism exhibited by
Mr.. Colgan, conveying to him five shares
of the company's stock.

Pathetic Incident of a Voyage Across the

Pathetic Incident of Voyage Across the
A man who was a passenger on the
British Princess, which arrived here
last Monday, says the Philadelphia
Press, gives this account of the death
and burial of an infant during the voy-
age GIN the steerage," said he, "was
a woman named Toole, with bright
faced 2-year-old boy. She was from
one of the northern counties of Eng
land and was coming to this country to
join her husband, who is thrifty arti-
san.
"When we were about four days out
little Jimmy Toole (that was the child's
name) was taken ick-bronchitis, DR..
Benthan pronounced it. A day or two
later we were told that the child had
Pneumonia. Dr. Benthan was very
attentive to the little sufferer, but despite
the care and tender nursing of the
mother little Jimmy died when we
were two days from port. The mother
was heart-broken. Capt. truth and
Purser Large made her as comfortable
as possible and did what they could to
console the poor woman.
Capt. truth told her that he could
keep the body of the child until the
steamer reached port, but he advised

Bishop Whitaker, of Philadelphia, was
was quite sure he would read the burial
service. The mother hesitated for a
time whether she should take the dead
body of her baby boy to her husband
or leave it in the ocean. She decided
that it would be best to bury
it at sea. Capt truth consult
ed Bishop Whitaker and he imme-
diately protfered his services. The
bishop and the purser visited the
mother in the surgery and then the
kind-hearted bishop prayed with her
and endeavored to console her.
'"The following day little Jimmie's
placed upon the CRATE near the turtle
back. Shortly before noon Bishop
Whitaker and Mrs. Whitaker started
with solemn tread from the saloon cab

were the officers of the steamer and

'The procession moved to where the
dead body lay, with the boatswaln and
the boatswain's mate standing on either
side. The steerage passengers came up
and crowed the top CT the TURTLE back.
Then Bishop Whitaker began to read
the beautiful and impressive burial
service of the Episcopal Church. AS he
concluded the boatswain and his mate
lifted the board and let the tiny body in
the bag slide over the rail and into the
sea. The mother was not on deck, she
not being able to bear the sight, but
there were many wet eyes in the COM
pany that witnessed the burial.

Whitaker offered special prayer for

Water in Distinguishing Fire.

The theory of fire extinguishers is to
cut off the burning object from the sur
rounding atmosphere. This can be done
by either a liquid or solid substance,
but water is the simplest and most
natural one. It's efficacy as a fire ex-
tinguisher may, however, be increased
by an addition of pulverized alum IN
sufficient quantity to give a saturated
solution. On evaporating, this solution
will leave on the material on which it
has fallen thin coating having heat
resisting power Potash and common
salt should not be used, as the salts will
volatilize and afterward precipitate
themselves in various parts Of the room
or building, and tend to produce damp
ness from their affinity for moisture.

n Scheming Druggist.
From Texas Siftings.


A man with fiery red face and q
peculiar walk that impaired zig-zag to
his locomotion entered drugstore in a
ocal-option town. He was about to
speak to the clerk: when the proprietor
with fire enough in his eyes to call out
the fire department, rushed up and
yelled excitedly:
"Here you get right out O here

"Get out before I call the police.

GlaGstone's Long Sentences.
From the Court Journal.

Lord Hartington's humorous allusion
to the length of the sentence he quoted
from Mr.. Gladstone's speech to the
Wesleyan home rulers was not without
reason. Mr.. Gladstone's verbosity is in
durable. 1t is constantly breaking forth
in long winded sentences, not only in
speeches, but in writing. Last session,
for example, he handed in a question
which contained 120 words. Also last
session, in one of his speeches in the
House, he delivered a sentence which
lasted five minutes by the reporters
watch, and would have filled over a
quarter of a column of space had it
been written out in full. Seeing that
this sentence contained about 900 words,
the sentence of 1873 words which Lord
Harrington quoted was comparatively
moderate.

LINCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.
His sympathetic Nature and His Early
MisfOrtuneS.


Misfortunes.
Those who saw much of Abraham
Lincoln during the later years of his
life, were greatly impressed with the
expression of profound melancholy his
face always wore in repose.
Mr. Lincoln was of peculiarly sym
pathetic and kindly nature. These
strong characteristics influenced, very
happily, as it proved, his entire polit
zeal career. They would not seem, at
first glance, to be efficient aids to polit-
icai success but in the peculiar emer-
gency which Lincoln, in the providence
of God, was called to meet, no vessel of
common clay could possibly have be-
come the "chosen of the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boy
hood knew that early griefs tinged his
whole life with sadness. His partner in
the grocery business at Salem, was
Uncle" Billy Green, of Tallula, Ill.,,
who used at night, when the customers
were few, to hold the grammar while
Lincoln recited his lessons.
1t was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln
told the story of his love for sweet Ann
Rutlidge; and he, in return, offered
what comfort he could when poor Ann
died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly
broke.
AFTER Ann died." says "Uncle"
Billy, ION stormy nights, when the wind
blew the rain against the roof, Abe
would set thar in the grocery, his ell
bows on his knees, his face in his hands,
and the tears runnin' through his fin
gers. [ hated to see him feel bad, an
I'd say, Abe, don't cry an he'd look
up an say Il can't help it, Bill, the
rains fallin' on her."
There are many who can sympathize
with this overpowering grief, as they
think of lost loved one, when "the
rains fallin' on her." What adds
poignancy to the grief sometimesis the
thought that the lost one might have
been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William John
son. of Corona, L. l., builder, who
writes June %, 1890: Last February
on returning from church one night, my
daughter complained of having pain
in her ankle. The pain gradually ex-
tended until her entire limb was swol-
len and very painful to the touch. We
called physician, who after careful ex-
animation pronounced it disease of the
kidneys of long standing All we could
do did not seem to benefit her until we
tried Warmers Safe Cure; from the first
e she commenced toimprove. When she
commenced taking it she could not turn
in bed, and could just move her hands a
little, but to-day she is as we'll as she
ever was. | believe | owe the recovery
