4 Great French Writer ician and
Republican Phil ist.
Victor Schoelcher, eminent
writer. politician and ,lican phil
anthropist who died L. s. in France,
after an honorable life of nearly ninety
years, was always noted for the rigid
sincerity of his principles and his acts,
says the Youths Companion. A story
is told in the Parisian Press Of his bov-
hood which illustrates this characer-
istic in him. As a child he was once
returning to France from trip to
Brussels with his mother.
She had obtained in Belgium certain
valuable laces which she could easily
carry out OF sight, and she remarked
to the boy that she was not going to
declare them to the French custom
house authorities.
But, mother" said Victor, mot to
declare them would be wrong!'
M. sr You mind" she said, .sit
would be foolish to declare them. The
duty on them is enormous and the in
spectors will never know anything
about them. shall say nothing about
them"
When the custom house man came
Nine. Schoo lcher declared that she
had nothing dutiable. The inspector
thought he saw a shocked look in the
boys face.
What is it?' said he to Victor.
''Oh, sir" said the boy. ~ think
mother has some Belgian laces that
she ought to p-y duty on!'
The laces were produced and the
duty paid. Nine. Scholcher, instead
of being angrJ, declared that she was
proud of having so honest and truth
full boy.
but he had a quick eye for dishon-
esty of character in others. As dep
uty he voted to permit the return of
Louis Napoleon To France, believing
that the time had come for universal
forgiveness. Louis Napoleon read a
speech thanking the deputies and full

speech
II watched him through my glass"
he said. ''and his paper never trembled
In his hand. He Is too cool to be an
honest man. We shall have occasion
to regret his coming into the country"
The estimate proved quite true, for
in few years Louis Napoleon had,
by mort remarkable series of false
hoods and betrayals, overthrown the
republic and possessed himself of des-
potic power

parts of one plan. But no one appear
to have suspected the exact method OF
the regiments or their plan of subsc-
quent disintegration. The popular
imagination planted an armed force
in the field somewhere and added un-
told resources of men out of its own
terrors. Something of this feeling waa
reflected by the press and the action
of the secretary of the treasury, for all
the endeavors were directed to the in
Perception and capture of an armed
force which as the reader knows did
not exist. New York now recalled the
st. Mary's affair which it had formerly
treated as n western practical joke,
and the Louisville papers were rather
exultant at what they called an eastern
dose of the joke.
But it must not be supposed that the
central police-office at New York had
been entirely led astray by these
events. 1t had quietly arrested six
men whom its sharp-eyed detectives
had recognized as being in the ranks
of the visiting regiment, and on one of
them was found five hundred dollars
in gold. The superintendent. who saw
underneath the surface what he con-
ceived to be a vast and brainy con-
spiracy, summoned his best men; put
himself in communication with the
secret service bureau at Washington,
and very soon began to formulate some
of the inevitable deductions In this
he was fortunately aided by one or two
circumstances. He obtained from the
Washington bureau the photographs of
the men who had boarded the Corin-
THAN, which photographs had been
forwarded from England. One of the
persons in the group was discovered to
be Fenning. The other circumstance
was that the Washington bureau had
sent two men west on his trail and
they had disappeared in Tennessee.
With these facts before him, it did not
take the superintendent very long to
focus his suspicious upon western
Tennessee.

LAND IN DEMAND.
Big Sale of Dickinson County Farm
Land-The Time to Buy.

Land-The Time to Buy.
II has been evident to the most
casual observer that the tide of con-
iidence in Kansas lands has been re.
turning for some months, Loan agents
report healthy feeling in regard to
farm loans and real estate dealers have
a steadily increasing demand for lands.
There is now little difficulty in extend
Ing loans while frequent large sales in-
dictate that capitalists are ready to
invest.
Dickinson county seems to rank high
in the esteem of those having money to
place in Kansas and we have had
occasion to note several important
transfers Of property. Another large
one was consummsted today when 800
acres of farm land without buildings,
but fenced, sold for $l7 900 cash. We
are not at liberty to give names owing
to necessary delay in arranging papers,
but the sale shows that Dickinson
county lands are in demand, Now is
the time to invest in the solidest
property on earth, though you will
have to pay well for it for Dickinson
county farmers know a good thing
when they see it and are not going to
sell at a sacrifice.
