New Subscribers.

New subscribers have been coming in quite
lively for some time past. Not that any effort
has been made to that end for they all came
in voluntarily. But we suppose it is evidence
of an increasing interest in public affairs, and
as the ADVOCATE endeavors TO keep its readers
well posted on all current events, political
and otherwise, they naturally look to the AD-
yocATE for the information desired. Politics
is being discussed quite freely, and it may be
that such discussion has had its influence upon
the public mind and engendered desire for
fuller inquiry into the present status of pol
itics in the County and in the State. There
will be no less Than twenty-five names upon
the ticket, this fall, presenting an unusual
number of chances for preferment, and awak-
ing corresponding interest in political affairs.
The ADVOCATE will endeavor to give the latest
and most reliable information accessible on
political and all other subjects. Every Dem
oerat in the county ought to subscribe for it
and read it attentyely. Its friends may rem
Ter it important service by extending its cir
,ulation in their respective neighborhoods.

idea is not more absurd than the war cloud
which has been worked up by the press from
the treatment accorded to the Empress

Paris. The populace of Paris was repre-
sented as ready to assassinate her, and she

MASSACRE IN MADAGASCAR.
Hundreds of Women and Children Tor
tHred 10 Death.

PARIS, March 4.-News of a horrible mas
sacre comes from Madagascar. Ramiasatra,
governor of the province of Belanonond,
massacred 27s persons, including men, women
and children belonging to the leading families.
The slaughter continued for several days.
The agonies of the victims were in many cases
protracted. Sometimes their limbs were
gradually dismembered, their arms were sawn
off and their bodies were thrown to dogs.
Many of the women were outraged. The
survivors were forced to erect trophy com
posed of the heads of the victims. Popular
fury has caused the government to announce
that the offender will be punished.
