Their Idea OF Chicago.

A French newspaper published at
Nantes furnishes its readers with a
very graphic, If not accurate, descrip-
ton OF Chicago. 1T is situated at the
foot OF the Falls of Niagara and re-
ceives the waters of the great lakes.
In no part of Europe will you find SO
great city. Its boulevards are reg
ular and as straight as its streets,
which seem to have been ruled with a
straight edge. and in it all railroads
have termini. One is almost fright
ened by the height Of the buildings,
in which all styles of architecture
meet without confusion. About sixty
years ago we first visited the Falls of
Niagara and our first stop was natur-
ally at Chicago. Excellent hotels,
very attractive people were there, and
as We took a rapid walk along the
banks of the Father of Waters we
were obliged to avoid meeting the de-
scendants of the companion of St.
Anthony (pigs). Now these noisy
animals have their own quarter. where
they are sold, and they no longer, by
their squeals, disturb the public peace"

It is said in the brief details of Emma
Abbott's cremation rites that the sweet
singer was reduced to two or three
pounds OF ashes, which were preserved
in a silver vase, writes Detroit Free
Press correspondent.
Now, it is well known that two or
even four hours incarceration does not
totally consume the bones, and there
is always a mass OF these left, which
are thrown away as refuse.
Among these human bones is one

The resurrection bone is supposed

AS 1T WAS PRESCRIBED.

She vowed she's be a doctor,
And studied hard and late,
Till odds and ends of knowledge
Roamed round within her pate.
She got her sheepskin quickly,
Then out her shingle hung;
And after weeks of waiting,
Her ofiice-bell was rung.
A stylish handsome fellow
Stepped in, with looks of pain,
And said, ~ fear there's something
The matter with my brain"
9azed back with compound interest,
Till queer feeling went
A-scooting round his heartstrings.
He smiled charming smile,
As she quite gravely counted
His pulse, twice in a while.
Then he, in accents tender,
Said, Pardon me. I fear
That ! have quite Inisled you.

What Would Re Better.

Tho disadvantage of the decimal
scale is that the number ten can be
only once divided without leaving
fraction, says Temple Bar. A duo
decimal scale of enumeration would
have been much better, and, in accord
ance with our present system OF
weight measure and coinage. Had
the Chaldeans or Arabs, who instituted
the decimal scale of numbers from
their ten digits, only taken it from the
giants among them. who, like the
giant OF Gath, had twelve digits as
we'll as toes, the result would have
been much more satisfactory TO all
calculating individuals among succeed
ing generations as we'll as those OF cur
civil service.

RUSSIAN POLITICS.

A London correspondent Of the New
York Times narrates at much length
the causes that brought about the re-
cent financial stringency in Europe,
and the extraordinary shipment of
gold from this country. If he stated
facts there is an intimate connection
between the cars ukase against the
Jews and the gold shipment. In other
words, the causes were mainly polit-
zeal.
Rossia's prime minister, Vishne-
gradski, had undertaken to place the
national finances on solid basis, to
stem the tide of corruption prevailing
in the collection and disbursement OF
the nations revenues and TO effect a
great reform therein. He encoun-
tered powerful opposition in a court
where intrigue and conspiracy play
leading role in government affairs.
The success of the minister's financial
plans was largely due to his financial
agents, the Rothschilds. in London and
Paris and Bleichrader in Berlin, with
whom he had, through the placing of
Russian loans, accumulated large sums
of gold.
To break down the minister. his enc
mites conceived the idea OF destroying
his credit with the Jew bankers of
London and Berlin. To do this they
brought forward the question Of ex-
polling the 5000, 600 Jews in Russia.
Owing to the violent and unreason-
ing antipathy OF the Russian
masses for the Jews it was
easy through agitation to arouse
the Slavs and enlist the
church in the holy crusade. Petitions
rolled in upon the ear, and the patri-
arch of the Greek church, the estab-
lished religion of the empire, de-
manded the expulsion OF the Jews. The
Russian masses being the most incorri-
gible of fanatics, religion is the most
potent political agency in the empire.
Whether fanatic himself or not. the
car is head of the church. and as such
knows full well how to profit by the
bigotry OF the people. In answer to the
demands of millions OF his loyal sub
iects, he issued last summer his ukase
against the hated Jews. Thus far, the
enemies OF Vishnegradski had been
successful, he it is said, paying little
or no attention to their anti-Jew cru

TUE LOTTERY IN WISCONSIN,.

The Wisconsin way of dealing with
the Louisiana lottery is better than the
post official way. The latter seizes
newspapers and stops their transmits
sion through the mails. The Wisconsin
way IS shown in dealing with Mil
waukee agent Of the lottery. The
grand jury indicted him on eight counts
Of selling lottery tickets, in violation Of
the state law. and upon trial the Judge
fined him $4,000 and sent him to Jail
until the fine should be paid.
1t is not profitable to sell lottery tick
cts when the sale of each one costs the
agent $500. Such policy, vigorously
kept up, would do more to break up the
Louisiana lottery than the exclusion of
the name OF that company from news
paper columns. and the suppression Of
Newspaper editions that publish items
of news concerning that company. Most
of the states have laws against the sale
Of such tickets. They are ineffective
because they are not enforced. We're
the courts at each session to charge the
grand iuries in relation to This law.

other lotteries would drop that business
as being too Improbable 10 engage in;
and very few persons will go TO the
length OF sending their money direct to
New Orleans for lottery tickets, when
they cannot buy them fromlocal agents.

Fort Worth is a candidate for the loca-

house proposed to be erected by the Ma
tional butchers association. which recently
met in Pittsburg, Pa. Gen. Cameron rep
resented Fort Worth's interests at this
meeting, and induced the convention to APP
point committee of five TO visit Texas in
January next. Before that time, possibly
in a few months, Mossrs. Winters of
Pittsburg, Hinton Of Philadelphia and
James of st. Louis will visit Fort Worth TO
acquaint themselves with our facilities for
handling cattle. The plan of the associa-
ton as related by Gen. Cameron is simply
this: The Butchers association has erected
one large receiving abattoir at Pittsburg
and propose to build others at Baltimore,
Philadelphia. New York and other cities in
the East These buildings will be used TO
store the dressed beef until shipped out in
carload lots to smaller cities and towns.
The great abattoir is to be located in the
cattle producing country, in all likelihood at

Had the Russian minister so desired,
he could have crippled, if not ruined
the Jew bankers by calling in the mil
lions of Russian gold deposited with
them. They needed it all at the time,
and could scarcely part with sou Of
it. 1t was not called in.
Only quite recently the Russian min
lister sought TO effect conversion loan
with the Rothschilds and Bleichrader,
but for some reason failed. The alter

out avail The call was therefore is
sued, and the bankers were forced to
call on Uncle Sam for help, and pay
