Another effort is being made by the
inhabitants OF Choisy-le- Roi, outside OF
Paris, to observe with much solemnity
and ceremonial what is vaguely called
the Centenary of the Marseillaise. Z"
Choisy-le claims to possess the dust
OF Rouget de rIsle--the composer of the
hymn-who was buried there in 1886,
his birthplace being Lons-le-S aulnier, in
the department of the Jura. On this ac-
count the members of the borough coun-
Gil consider that they have the right to
take the initiative in organizing a Right
Republican festival this year, as the Mar
seillase, under the title of 'Chant de
Guerre de lArmee du Rhin," was first
heard in 1892.
President Carnot is to be asked to be-
come honorary president of the commit
tee OF the fete, and appeals for funds
will be made to all the cities, and also
to communes which possess more than
4,0o0 inhabitants. No date as yet has
been fixed for the celebration eff the CEN
tenary, to which it is presumed that
every patriotic Frenchman will give his
sentimental and sympathetic-if not
practical and pecuniary-support.-

A Tremendous Barley Farm.

eve have now secured 100000 acres
of land in North Dakota for barley
farms, and next spring we will send
thousands of German emigrants to that
state from Ohio, West Virginia and In
diana" said Colonel q. M. Towner as
he discussed the future of this great
northern state. Colonel Towner is man
ager of what is best known as the Barley
syndicate of Chicago. During the last
two or three months the company has
succeeded in securing 100000 acres of
land in North Dakota, on which it Is
proposed to place German farmers to
raise barley for malt purposes. These
lands have been purchased in Nelson,
Norman, Towner, Ramsey, Steele and
Bottineau counties.
1t is the opinion of the managers of
this company that barley can be most
successfully grown i'll that state, and
they have the conviction of their belief
sufficiently to purchase these lands and
to send out emigrants from other states
The Germans are chosen on account Of
their knowledge of barley culture for
this purpose. These emigrants will not
be tenants, but owners of the land, it
being sold to them on easy terms. The
crops will be bought by the company
and shipped to all points where there is
demand for barley.-St. Paul Pioneer

There "a a GOODNESS between tho boys
and fine girls of the Stanford university.
II all came about from question OF pro
priety. The boys gave a ball IN Their
dormitory hall on Monday night, "a
which they invited all the girl students,
"a well as the professors. Elaborate
preparations were made, and the young
men anticipated an evening OF enjoy
ment. They hired band, and had the
dormitory beautifully decorated.
One or two of the more modest and re-
firing of the maidens in the girls dormi-
tory were shocked at the ayowed inten-
tion Of some of the girls to attend the
ball, and called a meeting of the girls, at
which there was long discussion oil the
affair.
Many of the fair students said they
could see no harm in going to the ball as
long as the professors were willing, but
the more prudish damsels read. strong
lecture on the evils Of such doings, and,
on a vote, there was majority in favor
of not attending the ball. So none OF
them went.
The boys waited long FOR the coming
of the fair ones, but they came not. AT
first the collegans were very angry.
Then they took the dancing floor them
selves and made u stag" party OF it.
They say, however, that for future fes-
tivities they will send no invitations to
the girl students. This suits the ultra
modest among the latter, but the sociable
girls feel crushed. Francisco

Two men sat in n secluded corner o'
the Ebbitt House lobby and enjoyed 8

That was not remarkable fact, but one
of the men ia one of the best known
members in his profession, and II nc
! were inclined to tell history of his IN

Fletcher, of Chicago. Mr.. Fletcher re-
lated what he calls the strangest and
luckiest piece of trailing in his life, and
| the end of the trail was in Washington,
although" says Mr.. Fletcher, ''it was
only luck on my part that it did,"
Fifteen years ago wealthy old farmer
named Wilson was found murdered just
outside his house, near Evanston, Ill.
The old man had that day concluded the
sale of piece of property, and was re-
turning with nearly $1,000 in his pocket,
as it WAS growing dark, the cash having
been paid over after banking hours in
Evanston. and Wilson incautiously al
lowed the remark to drop that he wished
he had not made the sale until next
day.
He did not like the idea of carrying so
much wealth to his home, five miles dis
tant. These facts, besides the murder
itself, and the knowledge that notori-
Gus gambler named Edmondson had
overheard the speech. were all the clue
offered the detectives, who were set to
work on the case with reward of &c. 900,
held out ~ an inducement for running
down the murderer or murderers.
Months passed, but no further trace Of
the gambler who was suspected could be
found anywhere
During the early spring of 1877 Fletcher
was sent east on mission by the agency
Of which he is member, and in the
course of his trip concluded to spend u
day or twoin Washington before return
