de Lesseps, yet the account which we publish
to-day Of the dishonesty and corruption brought
to light in the Eternal City shows state of
affairs far more serious than that which now
prevails in France. For whereas the nefarious
transactions laid bare on the banks of the
Seine affect the reputation of the official and
parliamentary classes. they do not in any way
injure the national credit as is unfortunately
the case with the financial scandals in Italy.
That this country is in any financial danger

interview printed to-day, has not the slightest
belief. Nevertheless, with watchful care for

women, to sit As a judge, appoint a COM

some men who had been killing her deer

This in itself would not be so peculiar
were 1t not for the fact that the tree still
stays in its new position, and the limbs
which We're previously on the west side
are now on the east. The body of the
tree Is probably split, so that it will
eventually die, but the bark seems to
have remained unbroken and intact, and
therein lies the peculiarity.-Florida
