Ex-cONSUL WALlER'S CASE.

An American Sentenced by the French to
Twenty Years imprisonment.
A despatch dated at Tamatave, Madagas-
car, forwarded via Port Louis, says that
John L. Waller, formerly United States
Consul at Tamatave, has been sentenced by
O French court martial to twenty years i'm
prisonment. The accusation against him
was that he conspired with the Hovas
against tho French authorities.
Mr.. Waller's trouble with the representa-
tives Of the French Protectorate over
Madagascar dates from last spring,
when he obtained from the Malagasy
Government concession of extensive
land in the south Of the island. The ter
ritory of which he got control is estimated as
covering from 200 to 250 square miles. The
French authorities contested the validity OF
the grant and there has been almost con-
slant friction between them and MIR. Waller
ever since it was made.

when Autumn Passeth By.

When purple elderberries vie
With sumac'S crimson stain,
A flood OF mellow minstrelsy
OerfiowS the winding lane.
A myriad insect voices flute
And rival threats reply.
No tree. no tuft OF grass is mute
When autumn passeth by.
A perfume rare OF ripening leaves
On zephyr pinions floats,
And oft the scent of browning sheaves
Blends with the cricket's notes;
Each hanging bough censer swings
Beneath the dreamful sky,
And at her feet rich fragrance filings.
When autumn passeth by.
The spiders third their gossamer
With jewels for her head;
The thistles strew their down for her,
That softly she may tread;
The brooklet stills its summer glee
Whene'er her feet draw nigh,
And gently drones the yellow bee
When autumn passeth by.
Strange sorceries the spirit bind
And work a haunting spell;
Weird voices echo on the wind,
And whisper beauty's knell.
AT eventide a lonely star
Comes forth to mourn on high.
And sheds its quivering light afar
When autumn passeth by.
The sweetest song that ever flows
Hath sorrow in it's strain;
The keenest joy. that mortal knows
Is always half pain.
So life and death combine their art
To charm the ear and eye,
And lovely pathos wins the heart
When autumn passeth by.

How many people who write. and write

little diversity OF opinion about the degree

the main fact, that few literary people ever
carry into their professional work any ex-
act knowledge or the rules OF grammar.
One justly admired story writer boldly de-
eiared that he did not know what an in

him OF misusing it, or any other part OF

As Old as Eve.

OF the new woman now to sing
You bic me, Prince, whose tangled Tyre
Whose wrinkled muse, of weary wing,
Has lost her early might and fire,
More readily your fond desire
Would concede and chant for you
If the fair being you admire,
If the new woman were but new.
She is. alas! no novel thing:
For history herself might tire,
Might faint and fall, in following
Where the old woman did aspire,
What stellar space, what mortal mire,
Has not the fair sex ventured through?
Indeed, we men folk might admire
II the new woman were but new.
She vexes now with questioning,
Must taste, experience, inquire,
For curiositys the spring
That sends her soaring high and higher
That bade her with the snake conspire,
And to the snake alone be true
Who brought on us that heavenly ire,
If the new woman were but new.

AS old as Eve, whom Adam knew;
