When Nicola wrote his repulsiye story
of French peasant life, It was said that such
things as he described could not be. But a
case which has Just been tried at the assizes
In the department Of the Tarn shows that in
IA Terre" we have unfortunately only too
true picture An old man named Veyrios
had coded his farm to his son, stipulasing
that he should have food and lodging. He
was immediately placed in the worst room
OF the house and starved by bis brutal son.
One day the younger Veyrios asked his
father to come to the stable and help him
to move large empty tub AS the old man
stopped down, his son pushed him into the
tnb'and turned 1t over. Then he put heavy
stones on It and locked the stable door
After three days he again went to look, and
finding his unhappy father still alive he
strengled him. The son has been sentenced
to death, his only defense being that the old
man was too expensive, -Exchange

ideal woman. Certainly the 1nfanta
Eulalia was not she, for the infanta
talked too much and drank beer.
The question is, "What is the ideal
woman? Is she mans chattel or
his comrade? II his tcomrade, why
should she not TALK" Why should
she not join him in his pleasures as
we'll as share his sorrows? A chat
terinH woman is as great an abomina-
tion as Cabling man: and beer Is
as bad for human beings of the female
as OF the male sex. We should say.
If we were asked to give in us few
words as possible our idea of the ideal
woman, that she is young, beautiful,
intelligent, vivacious, pure. constant,
good and true. For show much moro
doth beauty beauteous seem by that
sweet ornament which truth doth
give" She is courageous, fearful of
nothing but evil, with no prejudices
except against prejudice, self-reliant,
gentle. amiable, loving. On the
other hand, she is not silly, vain, nor
immoderately proud. She talks when
she has something to say and under
stands that she has mind as well as
person to adOrn. She has the
charm of capriciOusness without
that weakness of purpose which often
changes to cruelty from hayward
ness. She is impulsive without
thoughtlcssness and firm without
stubbornness Above all, she does
not nag. At present, we believe. she
is on. journey. and will not visit
Chicago for some time. Or any other
place. Chicago Post.

Conservative COrea.

Though Corea, the hermit kingdom,
has been for several years open to all
who wish to enter it, it's opening has
not yet proved of much Importance
to the outside world. 1t has been
exploited by various adventures, but
their schemes have come to naught.
A postal service was established, but
it existed only for one day. The
Corean mint has not yet succeeded in
producing Corean coinage. Several
of the colonies doomed Corea as a
mission field, and sent out so many
agents, that in some places they were
metaphorically treading on each
others heels. But Corea has not yet
been turned into paradise. the mis-
sionaries are still more numerous
than their converts, and some of the
societies which foolishly expected
that lavish expenditure would pro-
duce an instantaneous reformation
are now as foolishly recalling their
agents and giving up the enterprise.

stores in Temple place, and the
mother who had lost her two little
girls pointed with absolute decision
to the place where she was certain
she had told them TO wait for

to the door and looked up and down
the street to see il the lost children
had strayed out of doors In front
of another store few doors up the

Little Chance of Perjury,

Writers in the law periodicals are
advocating all sorts CT strange doc
trines at present. One correspondent
thinks that circumstantial evidence
should have scarcely any weight. His
argument is that when direct evil
dence is given there is only the per-
jury of the witness to be guarded
against, while in circumstantlal evil
dence there are both the possibility
Of perjury and the liability to a wrong
inference from the circumstances.
The strength of circumstantial evil
dence, according to most writers.
however, is that there is little proba-
bility Of perjury, as the circumstances
frequently are slight in themselves
and not likely to be distorted by the
witnesses who do not know of their
full effect. The New York Tribune
regards it as probable that many
more unjust convictions have taken
place from perjured direct evidence
than from mistaken differences from
circumstances. Ardemus Stewart, in
the American Law Register, belitJles
the value Of expert evidence to an
even greater extent than most pre-
vious writer's. English lawyers, writ
ing to the London papers, have advo-
Gated to some extent strange plan
for doing away with all oaths in legal
proceedings, on the ground that per-
jury is SO common that simple dec
larations to which the same penal
ties for incorrect statements might
attach, would be just as valuable as
testimony given under the present
form. Another new theory which
has found its advocate is that in

other great sons of the republic, are
found side by side with Lafayette,
ROchambeau and many another Of
the brave foreigners whom sympathy
with the cause of American indie
pendence attracted to this country
with offers of assistance. One Won
ders whether our gentle humorist,
&. +. Browne, was aware that his
nom de plume, "Artemus Ward"
was the real name of one of the
major generals of the revolutionary
army; and the name of w. Wilmot,
captain of the Second Maryland Reg
iment, who was killed by foraging
party of British on Nov. 4. 1882, at
st. Johns Island, S. c., reminds us
that his was the last blood spilled in
the long war.
The first legislation in the interests
of the brave soldiers who risked their
lives in the struggle to throw off the
yoke of foreign domination occurred
as far back as 1876. In that year the
Continental Congress, recognizing the
debt of gratitude owed by the nation
to her brave defenders, turned its at
tention to the subject of military
pensions. In long series of resolu-
tions, passed the Goth OF August in
that year, it was provided that every
officer, both commissioned and non
commissioned, as we'll as every pri-
vate soldier, who should in the serv-
nf mi ,Irv
or disablement as TO be rendered in
capable for the future of earning his
own livelihood, should receive from
the public funds during life or con-
tipuance OF such injury pension
equal to One-half his monthly pay,
such pension to commence from the
date that his pay as soldier ceased.
1t was also provided that in case the
injury should not be so serious as to
cause total disatlement, the invalid
should receive such compensation as
might be agreed upon by the legisla-
,ture OF the State in which his resi-
dence was located; the compensation
never to exceed his half-pay.
This act was supplemented in July.
1885, and again in February, 1S4S, by
the acts extending the payment OF
pensions, under certain well-deflned
rules and conditions, to the widows
of such soldiers as died in cOnse.
Quence of wounds received or sick
ness incurred during term Of service.
A large amount of legislation regu-
lating the subject of pensions was
finally brought to Satisfactory con.
