A Surprised Frenchman.

M. Francisque Sarcey passes for 8 rather severe critic, but he has soft spot in him. He has been completely captivated by the charms of the English ladies he sees at the French plays at Dru- ry Lane. The sight of Miss Anglaise" weeping over the death of Mile. Bartet, slain, to the accompaniment of most cor rect Alexandrines by the memorable M. Mounet Sally, touches him deeply. Eng lish ladies, be thinks, must be very ten der hearted, and many of them, he is in a position to affirm, are very pretty and very stylish. In France, he says, the English woman is always represented as being stiff and ungainly, with coarse face and staring dress. If this type ever existed, he says, it must have disap- peared, for not one is to be seen nowa- days. On the contrary, these English women, he thinks, look very pleasing. They are dressed with taste, and their manners are exquisite. NJ. Sarcey may rest assured that the conventional Eng fish woman of French ideas never did re- semble the real article any more than he himself resembles the conventional Frtnchman whom we are accustomed still to see from time to time on the Eng fish stage.-London News.

 His Wife.


 NEw YORK, July 22.-Distriot Attorney Nicoll has in his possession a letter writ ten by Dr. Henry c. w. Meyer, wholesale poisoner, to his wife, advising her to com init suicide. In the letter Meyer promised to commit suicide also. It iH believed that Meyer wished to induce his wife to com. init suicide SO that there would be no pos. sibiIity of her turning states evidence against him. The letter will be used at the trial
 Meyer was greatly disturbed when he heard that Carl Muller, alias Jacob Vim. mers, and his wife Mary had been brought to this city under instructions from the district attorney; Meyer had not expected that the authorities would get hold Of Winners, who, it is said, was his accom. plice in causing the death of Louis Brandt in this city March 70, 1892
 That Muller will turn states evidence and testify against Meyer there is thought to be little doubt. Muller is in the house sof detention, the keepers of which have strict instructions not to permit anybody to talk with him.

PATENTS.

There was never time in the history
of our country when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the
arts and sciences generally was SO great
as now. The conveniences of mankind
in the factory and work shop. the
household, on the farm and in official
life, require continual accessiOns to the
appurtenances and implements OF each
in order to save labor. time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor. who
being on the alert, and ready to per-
eeieye the existing DEFICIENCIES, does not
permit the affairs of government to
deter him from quickly conceiving the
remedy to overcome existing discrepan>

Ex-Mayor Hewitt of New York, Accounts
for the Political Change in the
Empire State

lex Mayor Hewitt in answer to n
QUESTION about arumOr that he had voted
ID straight republican ballot, said: 'The
right of the ballot is sacred. and do
not propose to explain my vote to the
press of either party. In order, how
ever, that may not be misunderstood
i'll my refusal, will say that l regared
the election just past as the most inn
portant since the Tins of Tweed. Every
where the bosses have been rebuked
and decent citizens have asserted their
rights. The bosses and their rings had
become nearly omnipotent, lacking only
the control of the judiciary to complete
their absolute control. The nomination
of Maynard was tentative. Had the
people approved it there is no saying to
what lengths the ring would have gone.
Therefore the rebuke administered is
most timely and telling. The result is
not the victory or the defeat of any
party, but indicates that the people are
ready to disregard party ties when the
stake is great enough to evoke the moral
sentiment of the masses. The party
machine on both sides is dislocated, and
we may nov hope for reconstruction
of parties for the public welfare"
