on me that for breadth and depth of

His Opinion.

There is something SO honest and
bold in the self-criticism of man who
appreciates his own virtues that it
may well appal the soul unaccustomcd
to confidence. Says the author of
John Bulls Army:
An English general, in reviewing
corps of the cavalry, suddenly
stopped before a splendid-looking
fellow, and asked abruptly:
(Which is the best horse in the
regiment"
Number Forty, sir"
What makes you think i. is the
best horse9"
"He walks, trots, and gallops well;
is a good leaper, has no vice, no blem-
ish. carries his head well, is in his
primo.
"And who is the best soldier in the
regiment?'
"'Tom Jones, sir"
"Why?"
because he is an honorable man,
is obedient. tidy, takes good care of
his equipment and his horse, and
does his duty we'll"
"And who is the rider OF tho best
horsep"
"Tom Jones. sir. !"
"And who is Tom Jonesp"
II am sir.'
The general could not help laugh
ing, but he gave sovereign to his
informant

A Clever Rogue,

A Paris hotel-kcepcr is lamcnting the loss
OF 800, which was cNtorted from him under
exasPcrating conditions: He was telephoncd
by person who pretended to be speaking
from the prefecture of police, aud who said
that n swindler who was being shaGowcd by
the police would shortly present himself ut
the hotel with claim for 800 on some pre-
text or other. The person telephonng added
that the hotcl-kccrer was to give the money
and that the swnd!cr would be arrested on
leaving the hotel. The Instructions to pay
were acted on. and the clever swindler, who
had tclcphoned to his victim himself walked
quietly off with the 500. It is believed that
ne belongs 10 the Paris police force.

Dupuy defended Loze to the last on

would follow his example and precipi.

too high handed TO be popular. hut still.
looking at the fact that his energy
averted what might have been very
serious outbreak NJ. Dupuys action
looks very like sop TO the revolution
lists and the anarchists. The cabinet
has resolved to transfer NJ. Loze To a
diplomatic post. probably at Munich.
The municipal council has decided by
a small majority after . heated discus

The revolutionists have issued the fol.
lowing placard:
Paris is in mourning. The hands OF
the republic are red with blood. The

regime. We have dead comrades TO
