Please, MT. Herald, don't give your self any uneasiness about the Tran script; we own our building and can pay cash for printing presses at the same time.-Boston Transcript.
 Was the virihty of the Transcript ever more strikingly displayed than in the sentence quoted above? There is no Nancyism in that crushing retort, but only superb masculine strength. "We own our own building, and can pay cash for printing presses at the 4ame time" The charming creature we presume, means to insinuate that the Herald does not own it's building and cannot pay cash for printing presses at the same time. Well, the present Herald company does not own the building that was bull. out of the profits of the Herald newspaper but it hires it at sat isfactory rent for term of year., with privilege of renewal, and it never was contemptible enough to try to humbug the puc lie into thinking otherwise. As for the rest, the Herald is promptly meeting all its bills upon presentation, and putting by such tidy sum besides that it is quite within the range of probability that it may, in the not dis tant future, invest it's surplus in the granite pile that adorns the cor ner of Milk and Washington streets, sending to the junk dealer for old iron the press now used to print. the man. moth edition of that st,ikingly original and creative sheet known throughout the civilized and uncivilized world as ''The Transcript of n."-Boston Herald

Torn to Pieces by Lions.

A sensa' ional menagcrie accident is reported from Vicenza. Part of the performance consisted of a young man entering the lions den and rousing the beasts to fury and afterwards exhibit ing his power to coax the animals back into good temper until they licked his hand and allowed him to pat them. For some months this performance had gone on successfully, but lately one of the lions had exhibited unusual temper. Toward. the end of the performance, when the tanner went forward to pat the animals, the lion ill question made spring at him, and throwing him down, began to play with him, like 8 cat with mouse, between its paws; gently, at first; but the cries and screams of the crowd appeared to r,use the beast to fury, and in spits of the mans efforts to escape, it held him firmly, and deliberately began to tear him to pieces before the eyes of the mortified spectators.
 They crushed and trampled on each other in their anxiety to escape from the building, which, being only a temporary one, had very inadequate means of exit. It was some time be- fore the circus attendants, who were in another part of the building, could force their way through the terrified crowd to render assistance to their comrade. When they at length sue ceeded in getting the unfortunate man out of the cage all his bones were ex- posed 10 view, his skin being literally torn in ribbons. He was at once re- moved to the town hospital, where he expired in great agony ill the course of a few hours.

Decrease of Population in France.

The decrease of the population in France is 10 be easily accounted for. Younger French sons never dream of emigrating or going in for sheep walks or diamond fields, and the number of daughters must be limited b; cause dowry must be provided for them unless they are to cull the dreary joys of forced spinsterhood or become Sisters of Charity. The colonial policy of France is a emendous business on paper, and certain number of functionaries do certainly take the Mes sageries for Tonquin and other places. There is no want of outlets for enter prising young men. Tunis, Algeria, and the far Orient are all op n to them. In Australia there are seven indepcu- dent Parliaments and a teeming popu- Iation.
 In Algeria there are more Ma tcse, Italians, and other foreigners tha n there are Frenchmen. At home the statistics ETC almost terrifying. In some departments the actual decrease since the last census amounts 10 sev- eral thousands, whilst the main truth is that there would have been pro- portionate decrease all over France, had not the population been increased by Belgians, Italians and that hybrid Teuton population which is anything from Swiss to Austrian. A decreas- ing population destroys national indi- viduality, and places race ill an infe- rior position. The remedy for such a state of things is a big p oblem, be- cause the population cannot be iu- l creased by act of Parliament.

Good, kind, gentle, generous and open-hearted old Francis-Joseph takes beer at luncheon, champagne at dinner never more than two glasses-and smokes the commonest kind of Aus trian cigar, long thin weed with straw in it, called q Virginia. This is the favorite smoke of the Viennese cab drivers. Over-indulge.lcc in it spoiled his stomach, and .or a long time he was forbidden to smoke, but since last year he has begun again.
 King Humbert is true vegetarian. He lives entirely on vegetables, ante postos and fruit. The doctors havo forbidden him to drink coffee, and his only beverage is at present little Bor- deaux wine and p'cnty of water. The king neve: feels so well as when lis fare is bread, potatoes and oranges. The queen, who used to be ve~y sleuder, but has of late been growing stouter and stouter, wishes to dict, but it is very difficult 10 do so as she cu- joys every dainty of the table, and tl,c court reveis in the national dishes cf artichoke hearts. liver, mushrooms, brains, cock's-coEbs, and SC forh, served in Q solid gold service.

The .sSenseless" Kissing Habit.

It is said that the nursing sisterhood of St. Vincent, in France, have not suffered from the influenza, owing to certain sage rules of the founder. He discouraged asceticism, enjoined warm clothes and every reasonable comfort, because the sisters should regard them selves as fighting against the evil prin- ciples which cause suffering in the world, and the combat with which needs bodily strength. They slept in good beds from nine at night to five in the morning, had good succulent diet, were free om care unless to do their duty, and were not to salute any, one by the way when outside of the convent on their errands of mercy. Salutations in cold weather were, said the reverend mother, one of the most fertile sources of throat and pulmonary disease. In fine weather they were a a cause of loss of time, and took the mind from the object on which it should be set. The Hospital says it is glad to note this onslaug.t on the habit of kissing, habit in which women in- dulge in perfectly senseless manner.

fears and distrusts her. He is inclined to associate all kinds of chicanery and deceit with the adherents of Christiani- ty. The native Christian, with the English or American missionary, en- tertains the same feeling, because her methods are not his methods, and be- cause she does not share his contempt for her ancestral religion.
 The educated men of the Hindoos, however, treat her with gIeat respect by tte educated, meaning :thes more advanced. At the close of her address before the Social Conference, friends and strangers crowded around her, and one man said to her, ''I have given up my religion, willy tell me of yours?" It is not uncommon, either, for her to be reverently approached by some one, with hands pressed together at his forehead, in token of the highest rev. crcnce. The American people are fa- miiar with her remarkable career, which promises even greater things i'll the future bat there is a strong wall of prejudice to be broken down, and it can only be done by '.simp!e living, on lofty level." 2, s.-:

A Disgusted Count.

Count Gleichen's "Twclve Hours in New York" is a brief but delicious page in the diary of that humorous ob- server. He reached the Jersey City Station in the morning, and timed his arrival so us to allow a whole day to see the beauties of that city. He paid half a dollar to the hotel "busman," who declined to take his bag ill for him.. The colored servants seemed equally supercilious. As he was not sleeping at the hotel he was told that a bath would cost two dollars and half, and the man at the s'trunks bureau," Angllce cloak-room, eased him of a quarter of a dollar for taking care of his bag.
 The Count then went in an omnibus "a one-horse one-to Central Park, which he describes as weird-loosing apiece of wooded ground, intersected by paths which run up and down and underneath artificial hills and rockeries and you are fol bidden to go on the grass" The pavement, the policemen, and the post-boxes nailed to telegraph poles amazed Count Gleichen. He drank at the Hoffman House bar, and went back to the Metropolitan for dinner, where, on the principle of eat ing foreign food in foreign lands, he ordered clam soup, pumpkin pie, hem iny, buckwheat cakes, sweet potatoes, very nasty wild turkey and cranberrics.
 He then went to Daly's Theatre and paid dollar and half for ten min utes' drive to the Britannic.
 Count Gleichen, who had just re- turned from Canada, regrets that he did not spend the day there. After accounts led him to regret that he did not dine at Delmonico's. Many peo- pie will agree with the first regret and congratulate the Count on having lost an opportunity of making still bitterer reflections on New York City and it's 'sgoings on.'

THE SANDMAN.

Hol for the Ssnd-man! jolly old fellow, With twiIkling eyes and gleesome smile; He comes when the candle flickers yellow, And he does his work in jauntiest style, For he ightens his cumbersome bag of sand With . light and brisk and 8 generous hand. Ho! for the Sandman merry old codger,' His aim is firm and his shot is crack, And the sharpest wiles of the nimbest dod-
 ger
 Can baff1e him never. nor hold him back; Blue eyes, gray eyes, black eyes, brown, He powders them soft-and the lids drop
 down.
 Hol for the Sandman! funny old rover, He stops the playing and halts the fun; He doesn't wait till the games are over, He doesn't care whether romps are done, His shaggy old head pokes in, and lo, Mouths gape widely and feet lag slow. Ho! for the Sand man. blithesome old caller, Mothers esteem him and nurses adore, For he gathers the children, the big and the
 smaller, 4.. And hurries them swiftly away before They know it's been done, to the babbling
 streams
 And the singing birds of the Land of Dreams.

P0ultry.Yard Police.

In the eastern aviary at the Zoologi- cal Gl,rdens among very varied as sortmeEt of birds, are pair of caria- mas, says the London Daily News. These birds have something the look of the secretary vul;urc, as they per ambulate tlieir cage in digni1ied fash ion; at intervals they startle their neighbors by uttering a series of pierc- ing shrieks, which seem quite uncall- ed for, and do not appear to be pro- duced by any cause, except sometimes by spirit of rivalry, provoked by the equally loud screams of another bird which lives iu an adjoining cage, and is appropriately named "thc Scream er," . .
 As both birds hail from South Amer ica they probably have had many op- pertunities f such friendly contests for supremacy, and the visitor as he retires deafened by too close proxim- ity to tho cage will be quite unable to decide which has the loudest voice.
 The carlama is one of those birds which does mot fit into any system !; some ornithologists look upon it as a crane, while to others it seems to have an unm;stakably hawk-like appear -ance; finally, its name, which is more properly, and perhaps therefore more rarely, written "seriema," seems to signify "little Rhea."
 There is thus wide fife for specu- lation about the relations of the caria- ma, which are at the best only very distant. It is indeed, very "friend- less" bird, and the most careful search into the fossil bird remains of South America has failed to bring to light any ancestral form which might give a clue to its affinities.
 Though probably of ancient and re- spectable descent, it's origin remains a mystery. The cariama is so far unlike hawk that it has the greatest dislike of quarrelsome birds. This feeling, coupled with the fact that it is very easily tanned, has led to it's introduc- ton into poultry yards, where it per- forms the duties of a policeman. If two young cocks simultaneously inspired with passion for the same hen attempted to settle their differences by an appeal to the duel, the cariama quickly steps in between the rival lov- CTS and insists upon friendly termina- ton of the quarrel by a series of pecks directed lmpartially at tie heads o1 beth.

What Excites Washington.

Washington is thermometer of political excitement, says correspon
 dent. The quick silver rises and falls in proportion to the he at of the debates of the Capitol. When Congress is ex- cited the city is excited. Nearly every body in the city depends upon the Government for living, and as Con- gress furnishes the supplies for the Government everybody is interested. As high noon approaches, hundreds of vehicles dash through the streets on their way to the Capitol. The horse cars are filled to overfowing, and there are no empty seats in the long herdic omnibuses climbing the Capitol Hill.

French Newspapers.

French newspapers are very differ ent from American ones; ill the first place they are smaller and contain less news of general order. The average Frcnchman cares first to know what is going on in Paris; his interest is de- cidedly on the wane if you talk to him of the provinces, and it is gone if you make him cross the frontier. He wishes to know all about the leaders of fashion in Paris, but cares very little whether the President of the United States is called Harrison or Cleveland, and does not know what Democrat, a, Republican or a mug wump is. Newspaper men, of course, write for their readers, and serve them according to their taste. But the French nan cares about form; he wishes his articles written in the most approved style; hence we find acade- micians among the newspaper men and articles on the theatres or poems and romances which, collected make mag niticent books in critical literature.
 Reviews and monthlies partake of that character. do not know in any other literature such a succession of articles as that offered for years in the Revue des Deux Moynes. French journalism was born in the time of the Restoration of the Bourbons. The press had then obtained certain amount of liberty which was necessary for its development. This first period was one of struggle the like of which has never been known for earnestness and devotion to the cause of the peo- pie. Then under the Orleans dynasty the battle went on raging fercely; Emile de Girardin, Thiers, Montalam- bert, Lacordaire and many others wrote for thu, people.
 It was then that the feuillcton, that institution for long time peculiar to French journalism, originated. The feuilleton is part of a novel or the atrical or literary review, generally oc- cupying the lower part of the first page. Eugene Sue wrote thus his "Mysteres de Paris'' and his ''Wander- ing Jew" It was for the columns of 8 newspaper that Sainte-Beuve wrote his immortal "Causeries du ,Lundi." And during the dark days of the second empire French journalists kept up an incessant firing at the Government, even if it could not be done openly.

A Filial Emperor.

The Elm )eror of China visits the Empress Dowager at the Nanbai pal aces every five days to inquire after Her Majesty's health. The visits are always made very early in the morn- ing, attended by vast retinue of per- sonal followers. After saluting Her Majesty and making the usual inquiries after her health, the Emperor generally has some State affairs of importance to consult with Her Majesty, whose ad- vice and suggestions he still highly values. This his filial conduct is made manifest to the world.

The esp'anade in front of the {;

The esp'anade in front of the .,t. building is alive with carriages.
 There are lines of coaches and Ian daus, each awaiting its turn to deposi, passengers beneath the arches at eacl wing of the building. Thousands C. eager visitors climb the magniticen; steps in the front and rear. The hug, rotunda and the hall of statuary are filled with a swirling tide of humanity. It eddies to and fro, and stead, streams of men and women poui through the corridors and climb th, marble stairs to the galleries. All sr eager tv witness the scenes of excite ment i4i the chamber of tho House of the Senate.
 At the beginning of the fight about the quorum. on the second day, a mot fairy besieged the House. The gal leries we c packed to repletion. Hun dreds of we'll drcssci ladies with es corts struggled in the corridors ano valnly applied for admission. The main gallery fronts the Speaker. is reserved for men. The blacks had learned that something of importance to them was going on. They connect! ed the fight in sonic way withsthe al leged intention of the Repub ic sns t bring in a Federal election bill. Squa,.s of them centered at the cl ok at the main entrance, aud black files stretched over the gallery like divergent rays. The ladies' galleries flank the reporters gallery above the Speakers ccsk They were crowded to sutfocation Each doorway was parked with spec tators, and men were standing ,1 chairs in corri, trying to peer ovel the heads of those in front of them.
 The executi, gallery was thrown open to distinguished strangers. The galleries reserved for the families ot members indicated the intensity of the excitement. Ladies were seated upon the steps. in the aisles, and every nook and corner were filled with spectators. They remained there breathless with interest for six hours. Some of the representatives sent sandwiches to their families, which were distributed among their acquaintances. The spectators cheered and arplauded in consonance with their political sentiments, and were only restrained by an implied threat from the Speaker to clear the galleries if the applause did not cease.

merce, after many days, there comes back
golden tribute to her victorious heart.
g In these magical times diamond drills
have become the plummets, by which the
iron channels, through which course the
seas of her prosperity to unknown depths
and extent, are now being sounded. The
diamond drill is doing great work IN this
country. In Minnesota No. II, 1t has just
penetrated 40 foot vein at the depth OF 400
feet, and in No. 3, 33 foot vein into which
they are now drifting. Similar and equally
significant results have been arrived at In
other shafts and at widely separated points
of exploration and development
THE EXHAUsTLEss STORE.
Gan iron man remarked to me that there
is sufficient ore exposed and within easy
mining distance to keep the present existing
mining facilities of this section busy for l5
ceaseless years OF uninterrupted activity.
But camps OF exploration were never so active
or so well equipped as now. They are
pushing into an unexplored and unsurveyed
wilderness of which, in richness OF ores OF
many kinds, neither the East nor the West,
nor the men thus engaged, have any ade-
quate conception. At many new points the
outcroppings, and the searching revelations
of the diamond drill, show the existence OF
as handsome ores as have yet been revealed
to Gods sunlight or mans eyesight
The Minnesota Company alone will have
about dozen diamond drills busy all sum-
mer, prospecting in various directions, and
