Brisbane and its immediats neighborhood

Oh, dear! They are not going to leave
us any of the fine old stories. "Jessie of
Lucknow, "the Highland lassie who, in the
besieged city during the Indian mutiny,
heard the pibroch of her clan afar off
above the din of battle and long before
any others could be made to hear it, and
who cheered her companions, just on the
point of surrender. to renewed exertions
by her thrilling exclamation: 'sThe Camp
bells are comm! Oh, dinna ye hear iti
dinna ye hear it!" is proved by the Scots
themselves to be simply pleasant myth.
The matter has been thoroughly investi-
gated and testimony froI. many of the
survivors of the famous siege has been
taken. 1t is proved that there was no
such person as Jessie Brown in the Resi-
dency, and that, any way, it was impossi-
BILE to hear the bagpipes at the distance de-
clared. Nothing but the roaring of guns
could be heard anywhere in the city, and
the pipes of the Highlanders were only
heard long after the cit, as practically
relieved and when the pipers were nearing
the Bailey guard gate. More than this, the
story has been traced to its origin In lit
tie romance written by French governess
at Jersey for the use of her pupils, and
followed through its journeyings until it
reached the London Times on December
70. 1857.

RAMIE &.

RAMIE.
There is much left in the world that
man has not yet made use of. For in
stance, those who have become acquainted
with the ramie plant think that it contains
the most valuable fibre in the world for
manufacturing purposes. This fibre is
not yet available because good machine
to decorticate it has not made it's appear
ance. But next month there is to be a
trial of ramie decorticators at New Or
leans under the auspices of the United
States government, and the right machine
may be there. The talk about the value
of the ramie fibre is enthusiastic. 1t
rs asserted that fa1 will be al
most a thing of the past, for it
has all the merits of fax fibre, and utterly
transoends its best features. The silk
industry will have such blow struck it as
will nearly paralyze it. Every one who
has ever seen ramie or worn it falls in love
with the fabric. 1t is as cool as linen, soft
as silk, far more durable than either, has
tensile power far greater, and has lustre,
with an iridescence suggestive of the opal.
For summer wear. either external or for
underclothing, it would certainly distance
all competitors at the South and in all warm
countries. 1t would pass into table-linen,
napkins, towels, etc. Its uses in cordage
of all sorts would ensue just as soon as
prices should justify. Its power to resist
strain and breakage is almost Incredible.
And SO forth and 80 on. Several acres
of ramie are now growing in Lafayette,
Louisiana, and it is said to be beautiful
plant, reaching height of ten feet when
fully grown. Success to ramie!

NOT ENOUGH FRENCHmEN,

Notwithstanding the tremendous losses
occasioned by the collapse of the Panama
canal scheme France has grown steadily
richer. But while she has been laying up
treasure she has been declining in dis
agreeable and ominous way. There are
not enough people born nowadays in
France, and there being little immigration
her population is decreasing at disturb
ing rate. The last report showed num-
Der of deaths exceeding the number of
births, and loss of population to the ex-
tent of IS, ,446 individuals. Never in
previous history did France place on record
such a deficit as this in time of peace,
and the wise men of the country are think
ing hard about it, A committee of the
chamber of deputies has been studying
this important matter, and though it has
not found ground for much encourage
ment, it has suggested some remedies.
Among them is reform of the civil code.
in order to render marriage easier. It is
proposed to modify the provision of law
which requires that the property of par
ents shall be equally divided among the
children. 1t is also proposed that mans
taxes shall be lessened as the number of
mouths he has to provide for increases,
and that obstinate bachelors shall have a
longer military service. When others of
their age are no longer liable to
be called the bachelors, will be required to
shoulder a rifle and face death ON the
battlefield. The cynical ones may find
compensation even in this fate.
It is difficult to account for the decrease
in the population of France, but it is pos
sible that the gay and thrifty Frenchmen
have discovered that large families are
very expensive and do not always pay. 1t
does not seem probable that sufficient in
ducements to change this turn of mind
can be offered.

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Route to be Surveyed to See Whether

Route to be Surveyed to See Whether
it is Practicable.
The steamer Albatross is about to under
take the task of surveying a route for a
submarine cable between San Francisco
and Honolulu, says the New York Times.
It was at first feared that the kind Of wire
needed for making the soundins could not
be procured in this country, but that OBJ
staele has been overcome, and an under
taking that has already been delayed seve-
raj months will now be carried out. The
last congress appropriated twenty-five
thousand dollars for the purpose. and the
Thetis was assigned to the task. 1t was
then hoped to begin 1t soon after July I,
when the appropriation became available,
and had this been done, it would doubtless
have been substantially completed by the
present time.
But the Thetis was needed in Behring
sea. and other vessels in the Pacific were
also occupied with urgent duties, 30 that
the survey was postponed, and will not be
completed before midwinter. Still, this
preliminary work is not part of any
special scheme, nor does it commit the
government in any way to the enterprise
of actually laying the cable. This latter
is under consideration both in this coun-
try and the British colonies, and the gov
ernment performs a valuable work for
whoever may undertake it by showing
| whether it is feasible, and by indicating
favorable and unfayorable routes.

FIGHTING A BOYCOTT.
Bohn Manufacturing Co. and

The Association Charged With
BoyeOtting the COmpany'S
Manufactures.
u. S. Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals Opens in This City
Monday.
A st. Paul Attorneys Action
Against a Minneapolis
Judge.

An important legal skirmish, for a
preliminary measurement of force is
expected to occur in the district court
today. The contest involves the BOhn
Manufacturing company on one side
and the Northwestern Lumbermen's
association on the other. The assoeia-
tiOn is made up of lumber retailers who
seek TO induce the manufacturers not to
sell directly to customers, but to leave
this feature directly to the retailers.
The reason for this is alleged to be that
the manufacturers ruin the retail trade
by selling at wholesale prices to con-
SumerS.
The BOhn Manufacturing company
yesterday went to Judge Cornish with a
petition, asking for temporary in
junction against w. G. Hollis and the
Northwestern Lumbermen's association
to prohibit them from interfering with
their business. The temporary in
junction was granted. In its petition
the Bohn company asserts that the
association named is, as constituted and
operated conspiracy ana agreement
to monopOlize and restrain trade and
commerce; that the association
is not conducted on the Involvement
and persuading" plan; that it seeks
to interfere with the free trade and sale
of lumber, sash, doors and blinds, and
is now DOycOtting the petitioner. 1t is
further charged that the association is
attempting to wreck and destroy the
BOhn Manufacturing company.
A reply has been prepared by w. u.
Hollis denying the allegations made by
the Bohn company in respect to boycott
ting or TO using improper methods in
attempting to induce or persuade the
company from ruinouS competition.
Notice of all application to dissolve the
temporary injunction has been given by
MIR. Hollis for himself and the associa-
ton.

Will Be Opened in st. Paul.
The United States circuit court of ap-
peaIs never met in st. Paul, in fact, it
has never yet held a session in this cir
cult with the bench constituted as de-
signed by the law. A session of the
court was held in st. Louis for short
tere, and adjourned to meet in st. Paul
Monday next, Judges Caldwell, of Lit
this city, arrived yesterday from st.
Louis, and together with Judge Shiras,of
Dubuque, will open the court. WedneS
day or Thursday Judge Brewer, of
the United States supreme court, will
be in the city and will sit on the bench
for couple of weeks. The court will
probably be in session in this city for
six weeks and will try appeal cases GO
ing up from the circuit court. A quorum
of the court consists of three judges,
namely, justice of the supreme court
and two circuit court Judges, or in the
absence of the justice of the supreme
court the circuit judges may call in
district court judge, as is done i'll the
case of Judge ShiraS. The presence of
an extra Judge at the coming session is
necessary so that full bench may be
had in case of hearing of case that
may have been before one of the judges
in the court below.
John d. Jourdan, clerk of the court,
who now resides i'll st. Louis. will be
here to attend to his duties. Marshal
DonahOWer will be in attendance upon
the court
