WHILE the socialistic element in
French politics may descry the work of
the assembly yesterday in the choice OF
Casimir. Perier as president, the fact
will generally be accepted that France
has worthy successor to M Carnot.
He is described as man who enjoys
living an honorable life because nature
endowed him with q gallant spirit, and
his education was given in good
school. He is one of those whose word
is as good as his bond. He acts with
decision, and when he nails his colors
to any mast he will stay to defend
them. His utterance to the newspaper
men when they clustered around him to
offer their congratulations was particu-
larly patriotic: "Gentlemen, belong to
you. Discuss me, but never forget
France and the Republic while doing
So"

A tall and elegantly dressed lady whom
nobody knew walked into the Office of the
Palace the other night. A big crowd was
around. The place was thronged with
eastern editors, and outside, bordering the
circular driveway, there was a rattle and
crashing of baggage, for hacks and car
riages had just arrived from the overland
train with passengers.
Over a dozen persons stood before the
desk, valises and satchels in hand, waiting
to be registered. Clerks stood, pen in hand,
or disappeared and then came into view
again like automatons on an oiled track.
The lady asked for messenger, having
penciled her name in u brief note on II card.
She was in hurry. asd deemed the mat
ter in hand of prime Importance. Slight
imperiousness was noticed in her manner.
1t grew stronger as she paused there for
the messenger to come. Then, as if she
would end it all at once, and with the
words. II will ring for one myself" de-
picted on her face, she reached for the bell
and gave it cordial punch.
Utter darkness fell upon the bustling
throngs throughout the building. Her
hand had fallen upon the electric key
board, and every light went out. There
were speculations of astonishment and
chagrin. and the stiffness was broken at
intervals by dozen questions.
The clerks sprang to the seat of the diff
Guilty, and when at length the light was
turned ON the crowd noticed the figure of
the impetuous lady vanishing as quietly
and rapidly as possible from their aston
ished gaze. She never came back.-San

The Confederate cavalryman was often
puzzled as how to provide himself with a
horse. The authorities gave him the choice
10 keep mounted or go into the ranks with
his musket, as horses were not furnished
by the government To be dismounted
and become a foot soldier was worse to
him than court martial, and he would
risk much in his efforts to get horse from
the enemy.
In the fall of 1868 cavalryman had his
horse killed in a skirmish near Warren
ton, and as his best chance was then to
capture one from the enemy he put his
wits to work to devise the ways and means.
He was with the outside pickets, and not
far off, on the pike, were cavalry pickets of
the enemy. He procured piece of tele-
graph wire from the railroad, and when
twilight came ON stretched this across the
road, fastening one end to the fence and
the other end to a convenient tree, just
high enough to catch cavalryman about
the belt. When matters were thus ar
ranged to his liking he started down the
pike and stopped in plain view Of the en-
emy.
gave chase, mounted ON good horses. 1t
was now too dark for them to see the
wire, and ON they came, determined to
have prisoner. The chase was sharp and
quickly over, SO that by the time the
schemer had passed through and under
his trap the enemy was upon him.
The sequel is not hard to guess. Two of
the pursuers were quickly and most un-
tremendously unhorsed. the third being
so much astonished and frightened al
their fate as to turn and beat hasty re-
treat The two horses without their riders
continued down the road, and were easily
captured by the Confederate, who, by his
clever ruse, became their owner and kept
his place in the cavalry. Washington

"Why do l prefer an upper berth to a

mer as he counted out and swallowed six
pellets without explaining whether they

felicitating himself on having secured low

"Well, there are various reasons. When
I first began to travel, 10 years ago, the
wheel of car on a train passing us flew off
and killed a man in lower No. 6. The chap
over him never got a scratch. Later ON a
fellow threw rock at the car, and it en-
tered the window of lower No. and broke
the sleeper's thigh. Man over him never
even woke up. Again, a car l was on ran
over lot of dynamite. Man in lower No.
was blown up with the floor and killed,
but the one over him didn't even know that
anything had happened. Once more, a man
in lower berth can easily be robbed. while
one in an upper is seldom troubled. Last,
but not least''--

l was living in Albuquerque, N. NJ,
when the first circus struck that country
Few people in that country at that time
either spoke or read the English language
Cole came to the country with his show
and soon learned that the natives dSl not
read anything but Spanish. He had his
cuts with him and the Office with which
was connected took them and put in the
reading matter in Spanish. The church in
that section at that time ruled everything,
as it does today. Cole was advised of that
fact and was told that he would have to
get the clergy to indorse his show before
the laymen would patroniZe it. He en-
ployed couriers to take the bills and go
into the country with them and give them
to the priests. At the same time he sent
to each priest complimentary tickets to
the show.
The result was that the priests talked
favorably of the. coming exhibit and two
or three days before the circus spread it's
tents in Albuquerque the natives began to
arrive from the interior and camped out
all about the town. l never saw such a
motley assembly before or since. And
while the circus remained-I have forgot
ten how long it was-the natives staid, and
a more enthusiastic audience no circus
ever had, l will venture to assert. l will
also venture the assertion that Cole was
the first and only circus man to interest
the church in behalf of his show in order
to draw crowd.-Chicago Tribune.

The Census Bulletins.

If list could be made out of the famous
people who have contributed to the liter
ature which the government sends out in
the form of census bulletins, 1t would pre-
sent such collection of men of distinction
and prominence as hardly any publication
or magazine could show among it's con
tributors. Great specialists have written
up various subjects with which they were
familiar. Men of great wealth and i'm
portant business connections have fur
nished copy, and many chapters that go
out without any signature at all had a
millionaire for their author. AS for illus
traitors, famous artists have been sent out
by the government, and such men as the
Morans have welded their brushes in the
government service ON the colored illus
trations of the bulletins. One of the chap
ters on quicksilver had for it's author a
western man worth at least $40, 900, ,000.-

Filial piety finds no place in Thibettian
character. It is no uncommon thing for a
son to turn his father, when too old for
work, out of doors and to leave him to
perish in the cold. The superstition that
the souls of the dead can, If they will,
haunt the living drives their hardened
natures to gain by the exercise of cruelty
the promise of the dying that they will not
return to earth.
AS death approaches the dying person is
asked, "Will you come back or will you
not2" II he replies that he will, they pull
a leather bag over his head and smother
him; if he says he will not, he is allowed to
die in Edinburgh Review.

OREAMLAND.

In the dim realm wandered through
The shadow land of sleep,
Came many souls of lovers true,
A tryst unknown to keep.
There came the God of Dreams to rule
His phantom kingdom DER,
And roses white and wonderful,
And ghostly lilies bore.
And as wandered, loneliest
The spirits free among,
Unto all those whose love was blest
The fairest flowers he flung.
Then caught his garments floating hem,
Murmuring bitterly,
king, all the daylight is for them
And hast thou naught for me?"
An instant as l staid him there
He looked upon my face,
Before his garments fold of air
Melted from my embrace.
Then, swifter than shadow flies,
He passed, and no flower fell
But his eyes were as my lost loves eyes.
Looking last farewell.
