To Celebrate the Marseillaise.

Another effort is being made by the inhabitants of Choisy-le- Roi, outside of Paris, to observe with much solemnity and ceremonial what is vaguely called the Centenary of the Marseillaise. ' Choisy-le-Roi claims to possess the dust of Rouget de rIsle--the composer of the hymn-who was buried there in 1886, his birthplace being Lons-le-Saulnier, in the department of the Jura. On this ac. count the members of the borough coun. cil consider that they have the right to take the initiative in organizing Right Republican festival this year, as the Mar. seillase, under the title of Chant de Guerre de rArmee du Rhin," was first heard in l792.
 President Carnot is to be asked to be- come honorary president of the commit tee of the fete, and appeals for funds will be made to all the cities, and also to communes which possess more than 4,000 inhabitants. No date as yet has been fixed for the celebration of the cen tenary, to which it is presumed that every patriotic Frenchman will give his sentimental and sympathetic-if not practical and pecuniary-support.- Paris Cor.

A Trem meMtious Barley Farm.

"We have now secured 250,000 acres of land in North Dakota for barley farms, and next spring we will send thousands of German emigrants to that state from Ohio, West Virginia and In- diana" said Colonel O. M. Towner as he discussed the future of this great northern state Colonel Towner is man. ager of what is best known as the Barley syndicate of Chicago. During the last two or three months the company has succeeded in securing 250, ,000 acres of land in North Dakota, on which it is proposed to place German farmers to raise barley for malt purposes. These lands have been purchased in Nelson, Norman, Towner, Ramsey, Steele and Bottineau counties.
 It is the opinion of the managers of this company that barley can be most successfully grown in that state, and they have the conviction of their belief sufficiently to purchase these lands and to send out emigrants from other states. The Germans are chosen on account of their knowledge of barley culture for this purpose. These emigrants will not be tenants, but owners of the land, it being sold to them on easy terms. The crops will be bought by the company and shipped to all points where there is . demand for barley.-St. Paul Pioneer Press

A Much Travelled Nolum e.

In opening package of books wrapped in tin, the custom house inspectors cut with knife the binding, by Ruban, of a "Poor Richard Almanack." The import CT made no claim for damage from the government, paid the duty, returned the book to Paris to he rebound and wrote an ode to Diana of Poitiers, goddess of book lovers, in gratitude for the miracu- lous escape of the text of his Almanack. The book, rebound, came back fifteen days ago. The owner supposes that it is intact, but he does not know, and he cannot learn even by paying the duty again, for the official wants new in. voice, and the importer is naive enough to think that he can persuade the official that the first invoice, which is filed a, the custom house, accurately describes the book on it's fourth voyage across the Atlantic.

pictures were looked forward to some what in the same way as are those of George Du Maurier in Punch, and Mir. McVickar's work had as decided charac- ter and individuality as that of the great cartoonist of the London Charivari.
 When a regular reader of Life picked up new copy and failed to see one of McVickar's pictures he was distinctly disappointed, for it was pleasure to see the young men and young women he de- picted for the amusement of those who enjoyed good natured satire. He was the leader of new school which has done very great deal in making our comic press refined Tn its wit and humor and true to life.
 But art has never been Mir. McVick- ar's serious business in life. He has pur- sued it only as diversion. Even the rewards which come to a most successful draftsman would be inadequate for the wants of man of the social tastes and prominence of Mir. McVickar. He there fore spends most of his time in more prosaic and profitable business than in making pictures. He is member of the real estate firm of Van Rennselaer, Cruger 6 Co.
 Mir. Cruger is the husband of that very beautiful and clever woman who as a novelist under the name of Julien Cor don has recently won fame for herself. Both of the members of this real estate firm and their families belong to that c. ,1a of . the Four Hundred. When Mir. McVickar's social and business duties encroached more on his time he gave up his regular work on Life and began furnishing draw ings for the Harper publications, and for some time over each one of the charm ing little essays Charles Dudley Warner wrote as an introduction to the Drawer" in the Harper's magazine, Mir. McVickar furnished drawing with some appro- priateness in the subject to the season in which the magazine was issued. These pictures were delightful. His ladies were ladies and his gentlemen gentlemen.
 Now Mir. McVickar has come out in another character. This time he is a satirist of New York society. His fun in the main is harmless, and it may be therefore that he won't be accused of i'll nature or malice. This new book is called "Our Amateur Circus; or, a New York Season-The Greatest Show on Earth-Society! Truthful, Moral, h. structive." On the title page Mir. Me Vickar has placed caricature of him self as the bill poster of the amateur circus and the likeness is not bad. On another of the pages is a picture of Ward McAllister, the famous man who has for many years acted as kind of court chamberlain in New York society. McAllister is depicted as very com fortable French cook just ready to dis

Solderel His Eye.
Territorial Auditor.

A Bangor (Me.) plumber couldn't open his eye the other day because the upper and lower lids were held together by a drop of solder The accident happened while he was using some solder in gut ter in which there was a little water. The moment that he applied the melted metal it snapped and flew. One piece of it came directly for his eye. The lids closed involuntarily the moment of con tact and the solder rested upon the lash ss; it soldered the lids together so firmly that it was impossible to move them. The eye was not injured in the slightest, but was effectually closed The victim was half amused at the ridiculous side of the affair. A companion took him to doctor, who severed the lashes. --Bos- ton Herald.

Where Amber Is Found.

The largest quantity of amber is found on the southern shore of the Baltic, be- tween Memel and Konigsberg, where it is cast up by the action of the ground swell after the northerly gales. It is also found on the coast of Sicily, on the shores of the Adriatic, on the English beach of Norfolk and Suffolk and at Cape Sable in Maryland. Mining for amber in beds of brown Ignite or wood coal is carried on in Prussia, and it is found in excavations all over Europe.-

A Russo-Chinese Railway,

A Russo-Chinese railway is reported as the objective point of negotiations now going on between Russian and Chinese representatives. Russia wants the right to build q railway from Vladi- vostock, the Pacific terminal of the pro. posed Siberian railway, across the north ern boundary of Corea to Tien-Tsin, and thence to Shanghai. The alleged ob, ject is quick transit of Chinese tea and silk to Europe. The Chinese, however, are very jealous of Russian influence in the east, and will probably decline Russian aid in railway building gineering News.

orderly, on which he was arrested, a.
other charge Of resisting officers Was

James Berner, the young fellow from
Columbus, who attempted to sneak a
hat from w. A, BarretL's store last Tues
day, was brough before the Mayor on
Tuesday and given severe lecture,
after which he was let 90. The Mayor
thought the boy had been punished
enough by bis weeks confinement and
that it was unnecessary to put the
county to heavy cost by binding him
over to court.
Luther Grabill, of near Marshall, was
arrested and brought to town on Tues
day afternoon on charge of assault and
battery, alleged to have been committed
upon his father. Grabill called on his

struck him, the truth of which stote-
| ment Grabill denies. He was released
on his own recognizance to appear be-
fore the Mayor next Tuesday.
