ELECTIONS IN CORSICA.
The Loss of a Life or Two Apparently \
 of Much Account.

The Loss of a Life or Two Apparently Not
 of Much Account.
 The elections for the council general were going on all over the island of Cor sica. The canton of Soccia comprises several villages, among others Guagno, noted for its famous mineral springs and also for the turbulence of its people. The elections took place in each village, and on the morrow the presidents of the several bureaus were to meet at Soccia for the formal declaration of the poll. In consequence of certain disorders that had already occurred, the mayor of Soc cia issued an edict to the effect that none of the inhabitants of Guagno was to en- ter the village that day. .
 The inhabitants of Guagno chose to ignore this order, and 60 of them, all armed, and all angry that their candi- date had been defeated, marched upon Soccia, headed by their mayor. Two gendarmes-not armed-had been placed at the entrance of the village and warned the advancing troops that they were to come no farther. The mayor of Guagno cried "Firep There was 8 general vol ley from his followers, and the two gen. darmes fell dead. "They both bore ex- cellent characters. One of them had been 24 years in the service, had been proposed for the military medal and leaves wife and three children"
 Such was the first account in the daily paper of Bastia. It occupied about seven inches of one column. The next day the editor had had time to reflect Cor he, too, may possibly have had significant warning), for in an article three inches long the account was somewhat quail fed, and there was this important emen- dation, "It seems we were not correct in stating that it was the mayor of Guagno who gave the order to fire upon the gen. darmes."
 The third day there were just two lines, "In consequence of the unfortu- nate affair at Soccia it Is probable that the mayor of Guagno will send in his resignation" That was all. took in the newspaper regularly for week, for was curious to see how the affair would end, but there was nothing more-ap- parently no inquiry, no prosecution of the offenders.-Contemporary Review.

Heating Air by Steam.

A simple and durable construction of apparatus for heating air by steam is an- nounced among recent inventions. There are a number of external pipes, within each of which is an internal pipe of suit able diameter to allow an annular pas sage for steam between each set of pipes. The external pipes are screwed into sock cts, into which the ends of the internal pipes are fixed by expanding, as in fixing boiler tubes. The sockets on the upper pair of pipes communicate with the sockets at the ends of lower pair by a screwed union, which, being first screw ed into the upper socket, is made good by screwing up nut. For supporting the ends of the pipes opposite to the unions solid plugs are found to hold the sockets together, the unions and connec- tions being made with right and left screw threads. While steam passes in zigzag course through the annular spaces between the two sets of pipes, air pass ing through the interiors of the inner pipes, and also the spaces around the outer pipes, becomes heated. Compared with other systems for realizing such a result this is declared to possess decided advantages.-New York Sun.

Two Counterfeit Coins and "A storekee.,~r
 Point a Moral.
 There is good deal of counterfeit sil' yer floating about just now, and preva' lent quarter to catch it lies in the streets between Fortieth and Fiftieth.
 "I had no less than four bad half dol lars offered me in one day last week, !" ,aid groceryman on Forty-third street. Various other tradesmen complained of the care they had to take in order to pre- vent being imposed on.
 Two unconscious victims formed co. incidence recently. Apoorly clad but re- spectable looking woIhan bought a lemon in a Forty-second street store and pre- sented a quarter, from W hich she await cd the change.
 "Now, look you here," shouted the shopman in a threatening, bulldog fash ion, that quarters lead, and you know it. Hand up that lemon. You're reg lar old rounder, that's what you are, and you dare to show your face in a store like thisl Now shut your mouth and clear out O here!" he yelled as the poor woman tried to get in her explanation that she had been imposed upon herself and had no idea the coin was bad.
 Ten minutes later brought in fash ionably dressed woman, who bought B cheap basket of grapes, presenting in ex- change the massive, unpopular cart wheel.
 The man jingled it, or rather didn't, on the counter, scrutinized it closely, then pulled hls countenance into an ex. precision of deeply respectful regret.
 "rm very sorry, madam" he began.
 "Oh, isn't it good? got it from a man on the cable car. Never mind tine grapes If it isn't" poured forth the we'll gowned woman anxously, while the shol l.man re mained grave and sympathetic.
 I'm sorry, madam, it isn't. It's no, even a good counterfeit. Too bad you should have been cheated"
 "It really is a shame" he remarked after she had gone. "I ought to hay, had her arrested was what he said when the poor woman left. But this wal just his little moral on the subject oi good clothes.-New York World.

GAMBLING.
Opinion of Chauncey Depew.

A considerable proportion of failure in business; and ninety per cent of the dedication and theft and ruin of youth among people who are employed in places of trust, are due directly to gam bling. I have seen in my vast employ ment so much misery from the head of the family neglecting its support and squar dering his earnings in the lottery or policy shop, and promising young men led astray in small way, and finally becoming fugitives or landing in the criminal dock, that have come to believe that the community which i- censes and tolerates pubic gambling, cannot have prosperity iu business, re- igion in its churches, or morality among its people.
