He Was Tilted in Love.

1t is interesting to note that the new
President OF France, NJ. Casimir- terier
would never have been elected to tina.
Office had he not been early disappoint-
ed in love. In his youth NJ. Casimir-
Perier was a Conservative, and o., the
repre- entative OF a family which had
twice held the first place in France,
and was very wealthy to boot, the
aristocrats of the ~faubourgs were will
ing to overlook his lack OF blue blood
and welcomed him to their exclusive
salons. BY way of cementing this ALI
ance a marriage was proposed between
HIM and a young lady Of a noble fami-
ly. But at the last moment the young
lady, or, rather, her parents, threw NJ.
Cassimir.Perier over and married her
to a son of a duke. The blow was u
sever one, and Nj. Casimir-P erier took
it 80 much to heart that he there and
then severed his connection with the
Conservatives. forsook the Faubourg
st. German, and threw in his lot with
the Republicans. He was in those
days thought to be an advanced Re-
publican, but his radicalism was prob
ably assumed in order to emphasize
the disgust which he felt at the way in
which he had been treated by his
ouOndam friends.

ten years ago. w. l.. Scott-happily

built the town. Miners we're lured
there by good wages and bought
homes. When the men had their
homes half paid for so per cent. were
locked out. When their mortgages
had been duly foreclosed the other
half were locked out and their homes
went to the spoilers. There was no
violence. no uproar, no militia. The
miners seemed to think it was all right
There was u singular thing happened
at Spring Valley. The last lockout
left but few men at work. They held q
meeting ana decided to work only half
time they were earning but $l6 per
~month-and let the men with families
stand off starvation a while longer by
working the other half. This would
not do for the proprietors. When thev
