 BRILLIANT AFFAIR AT PARIS.
 PARIS, Jan. 1.-President Carrots New Year reception was an unusually brilliant affair. Mgr. Rotelli, the papal nuncio, who introduced the members of the diplo- matic corps, expressed wishes for the prosperity of France. President Carnot in his reply expressed equally good wishes for the welfare of the countries repre- sented. He said he received the assurance of sympathy with France, which he be- ieved was due to the clearness and moder- ation of his country's foreign policy, with profound ratification

Taking . Drive with Gran.

was a resident of Detroit when the late General Grant was a captain of in- fantry and stationed at Fort Wayne, the military post near that city. Grant at that time owned pacing pony that was as fast as ghost. One day he in- vited Bishop MeClosky to take a ride behind the pacer. Tue bishop weighed 250 pounds and was very dig nified. Grants course lay up Jefferson avenue 10 Crosse Point, then, as now, favorite drive. Grant started the pacer up long before he got beyond the city limits. and was soon fairly flying along.
 we'll remember seeing the bishop holding on to the seat of the buggy with one hand and on to his hat with the other, while Grant was holding on to the pony to steady him and not say ing a word. When the ride was ended the bishop expressed his thanks to Grant for the courtesy shown him, but Grant could never get him into his buggy again.

The rarpon.

The tarpou is the Megalops atlanticus of naturalists. a member of the family Elopid,e, and may be considered gi- gantic herring. They have wide geo graphical range from the extremity of the Florida reef to Cape Cod, two speci- mems having been captured in the lat ter locality in 1874. From May to Sep tember they are extremely common in the northern streams of Florida, seek ing the warmer waters of the reef and the more southern inlets during the winter Large ones are the rule, aver aging l50 pounds in weight and from five to seven and a half feet in length, while their maximum length is said tO be over eight feet. and their weight 800 pounds.
 The smallest specimen observed in the St Johns river, according to a careful observer, weighed sixty eight pounds. and its capture was effected in a manner that illustrates the agility oi the species It leaped aboard the steamer Water Lily, clearing the guards, and landing fairly in the captains lap, who was sitting in chair in the middle of the forward deck.-C.

As the story goes, it was Whistler the artist who induced Oscar Wilde to visit the United States in the interests of es- theticism. Wilde was one of WhSttr's most doting satellites, and Whxtler recognized in the ambitious and anda- cious young man just such missionary as would do good work for the new school in this wild and woolly republic of ours. It is said that Whistler planned every detail of the famous tour, even to the amusing item of that long hair with which Oscar won half the battle among us
 Wilde worshiped Whistler, hanging upon his utterances as though he were veritable god Whistler understood his pupil thoroughly, reading his thoughts as though his mind were an open book None knew better than he Oscars faculty for absorbing the use ful. Oscars powers of assimilation were always amazing, and London folk used to say that Oscars bon mots were Whistlers eommonpsaces warmed over.
 On one occasion Whistler told very funny story. and after the applanse had ceased Wilde drawled out somewhat peevishly, "Egad, Whistler, wish I'd said that" Thereupon Whistler re- toted amiably and soothingly, "Ah, never mind. Oscar. but have patience, for you will say it; indeed you will "-- Eugene Field in Chicago News

Chinese Murders

SAN FRANCISCO, July Lieuten- ant Commander Marthon, of the U. S. :. Palos, writing to his wife in this city from Kiangking, China under date of June s, says that thePa los reached there June 9th. Learning that a riot had taken place at Wusieh the night before. he immediately proceeded up the river to that place, where he received information from the Chinese customs clerk of the kill ling of two men by the rioters. Mar thon visited the scene, accompanied by guides from the Chinese gun boats, and found the body of Mis- sionary Argent lying where he fell in the gateway, at the door of the church, which had been pillaged by the rioters. The body of Customs house Officer Green was found lying in the street several squares distant. The body had been covered by mats. Just beyond were the walls of a dwelling house entirely destroyed. The house in the rear of that one had been set on fire but did not burn. Marthon requested permission to take the bodies aboard the Palos but was told that an inquest had not been held. He attended the inquest next morning and describes the peculiar methods of Chinese officials in such matters, the inquest being devoted chiefly to the beating of drums, ex- plosion of fire crackers and other ceremonies.
 The cause of the riot. he states, was the fact that Missionary Argent had picked up four little orphans in the country and was conveying them to Hankow in the usual fashion-in baskets borne on the shoulders of coolies. A street lounger asked one of the coolies what was in the basket The latter refusing to answer. the fel- low raised the lid of the basket, dis closing the children. The crowd which had gathered raised the cry that the missionaries were taking the children away to dig their eyes out. and forthwith attacked the church, killing Argent and plundering the place. Customs Officer Green was met by mob and killed while on his way to assist the wives of the missionaries.
 On the return of the Palos from Wusich to Kiangking, word was re- ceived of an attempted riot in that city. Men were landed from the Palos, from the French frigate ln- constant and the German ship Otus to protect the settlements, but at the request of the Chinese general, who informed the respective consuls that he would protect the place, the sail ors were withdrawn. No outbreak followed, but American residents withdrew from the city at Lieuten- ant Commander Marthon's sugges- ton.
 In closing his letter he says that the Chinese do not want religion and that he has yet to meet the first Christian Chinese. The natives app pear to be trouble wherever mis- sionaries happen to be stationed, no matter whether church, school or hospital is located, and there is also a sort of q general outbreak against foreigners. Concerning reports of the likelihood of riot at Hankow, Marthon writes that the Porpoise and Viper are there, and that as sisted by these, the large foreign population should defend the place without difficulty.

Mistake of Marrying a Savage.


 It sounds romantic. poetical anc beautiful, that marriage of the Sioux brave and the palefaced maiden;" but, ah mel it is good deal like Longfellow's poem and the falls of Minnehaha-it makes good reading. Up there--among some oI the scraggy. stunted prairie trees oi Minnesota, in looking at the little creek or the thin, struggling veil oi water that can't do anything else but go stringing down over the edge of q sharp rock-one can imagine that the poet might picture to him self that Minnehahah's waters Flash and gleam among the oak
 trees,
 Laugh and leap into the valley" But Longfellow himself could find no material for romance in the reali- ty of life on an Indian reservation The "palefaced maiden" from Mas sachusetts, now the bride of Sioux will need the memory of the child hood spent at Sky Farm and in the Berkshire hills to make endurable the sandy and treeless desolation of the isolated prairie home. A con trast so extreme seldom comes into one life. To become the wife of an Indian seems to be the fate of the unmarried missionary whose work sends her out to develop the soul of the red man. The infatuation, or love, or whatever it is, that refined and intelligent woman has for an Indian, seems strange, and yet it is not so when the circumstances are considered.
 In the first place, civilization has lost it's greatest charm before a woman can consent to throw 1t aside, check her own career and volunta- rily go back to the very first steps of advancement, as she must dc when she takes upon herself the edu. cation of a savage tribe. However much the Indian may need her, il must be that disappointment and dissatisfaction with present exist. ence has established the precedent for the voluntary exile.-Chicagc Mail.
