Understand Your Agreements.

Many Of the disputes which arise
between buyer and seller are due to
the fact that in making a contract
the terms are not clearly understood.
In 50 common matter as the buying
and selling Of goods it is necessary
that all points relative TO the trans
action should be definitely stated.
Some houses state distinctly on their
bill heads the terms on which sales
are made, so that the buyer is COM
PEELED TO recognize the terms.
There are many other contracts
which come up in the course of bust
ness which need clearer understand
ing than the act Of buying goods. 1t
is important that both parties should
thoroughly understand the transac-
ton. There are publications devoted
to contracts in which forms are given,
but many Of these legal forms seem
better devoted to obscuring than
clearing up matters. In all transac-
tiOnS it is neceSs airy TO come TO a
point and have that point clearly un-
derStOOd. Long arguments are not
necessary, and the whole tendency of
modern trade is TO put~thingS on a
basis of brevity 1t is advisable to
make written memorandum OF
agreements, for it will always lie in
evidence and save many future dis.

The Russian Thistle.

Strenuous efforts have been made
in Congress by members from the
Dakota region TO get an immense ap.
preparation TO aid in eradicating the
Russian thistle. Blood curdling
yarns have been told OF the frightful
damage it is doing all over the
Northwest, and from the hair-lifting
narratives OF the Dakota Congress-
men, the average citizen might easily
assume that the Russian thistle is in
finitely multitudinous, and dread it
accordingly. Perhaps, however, we
may be able to bury our conviction
that it is, under the hope that it is
not, if we take note of what Mr.. j. :.
Wilson, Of Badger, South Dakota,
says on the subject Mr.. Wilson,
writing to an Eastern journal, said:
al have had eight years experience
with the Russian thistle, and can say
that on my farm it has not caused as
much damage as the common bull
thistle, also a native OF this region.
With due respect for the opinion OF
legislators who are endeavoring 20
secure additional aid in suppressinG
this pest, / think thlt appropriations
for that purpose are entirely un-
necessary"

representatives Of thee three cOun-
tries drew up an agreement by which
naval and military forces were TO be
sent TO Mexico to seize the ports Of
entry on the Gulf coast and apply
the revenue TO the payment Of the
foreign debts of Mexico. No terri
tory was TO be seized nor was Mexico

arrived in Vera Cruz and the follow

Then the designs Of France were laid
bare, and England and Spain prompt

of it. in spite Of his many cares, took
time TO pen a note OF apology, telling

he arose and paced the room, saying:

Am crican Interference.


With the ending OF the civil war
i'm the United States new complex
ion was given TO affairs in Mexico.
The United States Government had
persistently refused TO recognize
Macmillan and had intimated time
and again to Napoleon that it would
be desirable to name time for the
withdrawal OF the French troops.
While we were engaged in war among
ourselves Napoleon paid little atten-
ton TO our representations but when
the civil war ended and when besides
our State Department insinuated the
probability OF an armed interference
Napoleon was all attention, and
from the autumn Of 1866 TO Febru-
airy, 1867, the French troops evac-
uated Mexico.
While the French and American
Governments were engaged in a
diplomatic war over the withdrawal
Of the French troops Carlotta offered
to 90 to Europe and plead the cause
Of Macmillan before Napoleon and
the Pope. But her efforts were una
vailing. Napoleon turned deaf ear
to her entreaty that the French
troops be suffered TO remain until
Macmillan was firmly established
and her reception at the Vatican was
hardly less cordial. During the
Papal interview her reason suddenly
left her. and she has since been an
imbecile in the royal palace of
Bouchnout, Belgium, over which
kingdom her brother, Leopold ii. +,

Death of Maximilian.
The withdrawal Of the French
troops inspired the followers Of Jaurez
with renewed hope, and they speed
lily regained possession of all Mexico
with the exception of few cities.
Macmillan headed an army and
threw himself into QueretarO, which
was soon besieged by the Jaurists.
The place surrendered TO Gen. ESQ.,
bedo and Macmillan and his gen
erals, Miramon, Mejia and Mendez,
were taken prisoners. Mendez was
promptly shot, and military trial
was given the Others. They were
found guilty and sentenced to death
