Bee Maiden. OF Franco.

Near the little town of La Ferts
lh france, there is an apple-tree
"nicn bears only imperfect blossoms.
and the fact having long been dis.
covered, has given rise to a very beam
1ilul custom among the maidens of
the village.
Wheh sprlng-time comes, and the
appie-tree halls the joyous time with
gIad burst Of blossoms, the maid
ems OF the village arm themselves
with gay ribbons and perfect hlos-
SONS from their fayorite trees, and 90
singing TO the lonely tree which has
produced only the imperfect blossoms.
r-acn girl then kisses cluster of the
imperfect blossoms, and in so doino
lusts the former with the pollen from
the latter. She then ties a distin-
gushing ribbon near to the cluster
she had busted.
Ihe tree looks very gay when thus
decorated, with the pink blossoms
sinillhg up at Heaven, and the daiuty
ribbons futtering in the perfume
laden air; but the best of it is when
the petals fall like summer snow. ~
ana the little apples begin to shape.
lhan the maidens pluck off all but
the best fruit, and let that take all
the strength OF the tree, so that the
apples grow famously and come To
perfection,
AND now is seen the strange parl
OF the affair; the apples, instead OF
being all of one kind, are as different
as the blossoms that kissed their bios
SONS, the fact being that the apple is
eXpectly like the apple on the tree
from which the pollen-bearing bios
SONS was taken. So on this one tree
Will be seen round. rosy-cheeked ap-
pies, long, yellow apples, juicy apples,
meaIy apples, dainty little apples, and

recOuntcd one Of his latest exploits, or
perhaps we ought to soy one OF the ex.
ploits for which he was directly respon'
sible though not committed by him
individually. This was the expulsion
from Russian territory Of Mr.. Poult-
ney BIgelow, the American tourist and
littcratcur, and we learn from the New
York World that the circumstance Is to
be made the subject OF Diplomatic cor-
sespondenco between this country and
that Of the European autocrat.
Not only was Mr.. Bigelow made the
object Of the rulers wrath, but Mr..
Frederick Remington, who accom-.
panied him, as well. According TO the
paper named, the two men were on n

intending to write articles for Harper's
publications, the latter to illustrate
them. They were TO have male n

REVIEW OF THE CONTEST.

THE preliminary fight for rooogn.
ition by tho National Democratic party,
between the Democrats and Tuscaforss
OF Utah was Of great interest. The
'Liberals" counted securely on seating
their delegates because Ferry one Of
their number was the national com.
mitteemsn for Utah. It was scarcely
doubted by most people acquainted with
tho case that Ferry would receive the
tickets and hand them TO Powers and
Klesol, leaving the straight Democrats
10 fight for the seats on the outside.
II has always boon tho custom to
give the tickets 10 the national com.
mitteemsn for each state and 1t was
thought to be impossible to change the
rule. However, a protest was prepared
and presented TO the national com.
mittes endorsed by several influential
Democrat, including Hon. Chauncey
+. Black, Lawrence Gardner and W.
ID. Bynum. Straight Democrats who
had friends and acquaintance on the
national committee laid siege to them
and briefly explained the facts In the
case which only needed examination
TO show their truth and force. The
reiult was that Ferry was left out In
the cold and the delegates tickets snd
badges were handed to Henderson anu

A RErRospEcrloS AND A MORAL.


LAST Saturday was the seventy.sev-
enlh anniversary OF onr OF the greatest
and most desperate and consequential
battles OF modern times; 1t involved
not only victory or defeat for the par
Elephants, hut the future arrangement
and welfare Of all Europe. II resulted
In tho complete downfall Of the am-
bilious monarch who precipitatsd II,
aud his enforced seclusion from man
kind during the rest Of luis life.
We can occasionally look back 10
that momentous struggle and wonder
what would be the social ana political
features OF Europe hgd the result OF the
battle been different TO what II was.
Napoleon's plan was - push Welllng-
on into the sea on the west, then
turning 10 have given Butcher such u
bloody welcome ~ no had previously
received at the same hands
and sent him home with a dec
mated force ami broken heart.
Such was the design, and
what followed would have been
ordered, or at leas, approved Of by tho
"man OF destiny" himself, but II was
not thus to DO and Napoleon went
down to rise no more.
In his notes Victor Hugo Gays that
when la Brussels he refused to visit the
battle field OF Waterloo, because 1t
represented not only the triumph Of
Europe over Fra ce, hut tho "complete,
Absolute, startling, Uncomfortable and
dnal sovereign triumph OF medioorlty
over genius" The gifted Frenchman,
like most OF his countrymen, could see
nothing but genius In NapOleon's un,
btidled ambition aud s,olld indifference
to human sacrifice, and II, as alleged
all Europe combined against
France, 1t was because, through Ma
poleOu, France had arrsyed itsel
against all Europe. The Instinct OF
selt.preservation msnifests itself al
