Manchester was my dwelling place,
Christ was my salvation"
The Examiner is "away off, in its
statement that "the Potts family for
merly lived in Sacramento" and that
SMILES Faucet, the murdered man,
was about seventy years of age"
The family never lived in Sacramento,
and Faucett was about 81 years OF

President Harrison is in an uncom-
Portable corner. The Senate has
passed a free coinage bill and the
House will undoubtedly come into
line with it. Then will Harrison, who
has declared that he will not sign a

principles for the sake of party ad-
vantage, or will he destroy his party
in the Western States by keeping his
word?

srenchnen Surprised t.snowpans.

4iJ,3s ErenChrnen SurprtSeu AZ, CnonsesAl''
The first snow of the season reminded
an artist friend Of snow storm which
he experienced at Avignon, in the south
of France, year or two ago. No snow
had been seen AT Avignon for twenty
yerapRS:sieus, and the surprised French
man knew not what to make of it. An
amusing sight it was to see them try to
make snowballs and pelt one another.
Experience had never taught them the
art which every New England boy learns
as soon as he leaves his cradle, and they
handled the snow as daintily as does a
cat when she lifts her paws one by one
in surprised manner, and shakes them
before she puts them down again. Two
American artists found great delight in
making snowballs and engaging in the
fray, and they soon put the entire village
of Frenchmep hors du combat. "You
put stones in them" they cried when
they felt the power of an especially hard
SNOWFALL. They were shown that this
was not true, but they could not under.
stand how the Americans could make
their missiles so hard or throw them
wiil such force and accuracy. The vii
layers of Avignon will no doubt long re-
member their Waterloo at the hands OF
the two American artists.-Boston Ad.
