listers had taken their annual holiday.

We find the statement in contempt
rary that a Frenchman having an in
come of four thousand dollars a year
pays thousand dollars of it in direct
and indirect taxes to the government;
that the French tax payer, in other
words, must work eighty-six days in the
year to earn what he has to pay out to
the national treasury. It is said that
this statement is the result Of careful
investigation made by a prominent

eral of the colored boy, Green, who was
shot in Washington by Miss Flagler, de-
clared that life was cheap indeed when
a jury could find verdict fixing the
price of a boys life at the value of a

any other part Of the world, unless Japan
be an exception. The new depa' ture is
significant and important, and there is no
reason why England should possess mo
nopoly in the enterprise.

incident from Jayville, N. Y, proves

pleased with the conduct OF Mrs. Bert
Convey in clipping with Mr.. John P.
Kinch, and when The woman returned
they notified her to leave town. Instead
of obeying, she appealed to the law fol-
