that Mr.. William Beer. New Orleans
librarian, has just returned from Europe.
where he has been searching for the
lost library, It was collected in this
country In the years between 1910 ana
1870 by a man named Vattemare, The
city OF Paris bought 1t from Vattemare
and gave him a life annuity in pay
ment thereof OF 5000 francs, Waiter
mare returned to France with his
books, and Mir, Beer discovered that
in 1867 the collection was stored in the
Hotel de Vile in Paris, In 1870 the
Hotel de Vile was burned by the COM
mune. but shortly before that time the
American library had been removed to
Passy at the request of the mayor,
Mr.. Beer went to Passy and found that
in 1877 the mayor had sent the library
to warehouse, AT the warehouse he
was told that the library had been talk
en- back to Paris. There all trace of 1t
was lost.

Exactions of French Exchequer.
from the London Daily News

Our Paris correspondent writes:
The occasional exactions Of English in
come-tax collectors seem trifling COM
pared with the demands of the French
EXchequer, In England aggrieved tax
payers write to the papers. In France
a victim of excessive dues has taken
the more desperate course of attempt
ing his life. A manufacturer of mo-
lasses-M. Guiot-has for several years
appealed in vain Che ought to have
Known better than thus to waste his
time) to the minister of finance to be
refunded excess duties which he had
been charged between 1873 and 1876.
He claimed that eight thousand
pounds was owing to him. On this ac-
count he called on Monday on one of
the chief officials of the treasury and,
taking out a revolver, said: II have
come to settle accounts with you" The
official understood this to be a murder
GUS menace, and ran out of his room,
locking the door behind him. A report
was heard, and on the door being
opened the unfortunate man was found
lying ON the floor, wounded in the
head. Hopes are entertained for his re-
covery. which is. at any rate. more
likely than the recovery of the eight
thousand pounds.

woman's Trust in Mems Honesty.
from the Chicago Chroniole.l


Surely womans ingenuity is I'M
equaled Witness the way she takes
care of her key at the summer hotel or
boarding house When a man takes up
his abode at such place he Tugs his
key around with him or leaves it at the
office, and in almost any event he as
likely as not loses it. But woman has
discovered a new and sure way of dis
posing of the article. She doesn't lum-
Der up her pockets with it, neither does
she leave it at the office, and rarely,
indeed, does she lose it. Her almost in
variable habit is to thrust it under the
strip of mating or carpet covering the
entry before her chamber door, where
it is supposed to repose in peace and
safety. This, too, Notwithstanding the
fact that the little hump it produces in
the carpet is by no means invisible to
the naked eye. Nor is it without sig
nifcance to the average understanding
What is more, there is a similar little
hump before each neighboring bed
room door, so that a glance down the
entry reveals whole double row of
such humps. They speak volumes of
not only the ingenuity of woman, but Of
her sublime faith in human nature

THANKFUL.

The Louisville CONVERSATIONAL thank
fully speaks of ''the great blessings to
the country" that have followed the
enactment of the Wilson-Gorman law.
The thankfulness of the Courier
Journal is like the thanRfulness of a
man who appeared in the City court
yesterday. He had been treated with a
club just as this country has, been treat
ed with the Wilson-Gorman law Both
of his eyes were so plunged up" that
he could hardly see. His mouth was
so swelled that he couldn't talk so as to
be understood. His ears were cut and
swelled. His cheeks were more pro-
tuberant than Lord Dunraven's cheek.
His head and face and neck and clothes
were covered with blood. He was as
badly battered as the stock market was
by the Democratic panic, and as Amer
lean industries have been by the Will
SON. German law. Yet he was thankful
that he wasn't dead, and he considered
it great blessing to be alive after
what he had gone through.

THE PAT EMENT QUESTION.

Little has lately been heard about the
will be revived by a report from our
enterprising and reliable correspondent
in Southbury, who writes: 1.-THE wild
man of Winsted has appeared in this
town. He was seen by Mrs. Charles
Gilbert, who lives on the Abel Bron-
son farm near the Roxbury line. She.
saw him in the road. He was making
motions and throwing his arms"
1t is evident that the wild man of
Winsted is on his way to New Haven.
He can have but one object in COM
ing here. He intends to take an active
part in the great pavement discussion
to which so many are now devoting
their lives and their sacred honor. His
actions when he was seen by Mrs.
Charles Gilbert near the Roxbury line
indicate that he is rehearsing his speech
as he progresses. He was making mo-
tons and throwing his arms, which is
exactly what those who are already
engaged in the discussion do BY the
time he gets here he will be we'll pre-
pared and will be worth hearing. 1t
will not even be noticed that he is
wild man, unless he is wilder than the
other discussers, and it does not seem
probable that he is. And when he
comes he may make such motions and
throw his arms in such way as to
settle the whole business He has had
a fine opportunity to think in the quiet
of Winsted, and with his rehearsals in
the road between there and here he
ought to be able to say the right thing
in the right way. We shall expect to
hear more Of him as he advances, and
by the time he gets here all will be
anxious to know what he thinks. 1t
is barely possible that he has been
in training to become a special agent
of vitrified brick sheet asphalt or block
asphalt, and that his appearances at
Winsted and his later appearance to
Mrs. Charles Gilbert near the Roxbury
line have been intended to so attract
attention to him that he will be sure
of an eager hearing when he appears
in his true character. But we incline
to the belief that he will turn out to
be wholly and sacredly impartial and
public spirited, just as all the other
wild men who take part in the dis
cussion are, and that he will want
only, that which is best for the city.
If we are right in our idea of him. his
advent, his words, his motions and his
arm-t throwing may have as settling an
effect on the pavement discussion as
the advent, the words, the motions
and the arm throwing of Mr. William
Goffe had on the Indian question in
Hadley in 1875, or as Goldfish skin has
on the coffee question in any year.

he says, the rural Democratic politicians
think that the chance Of POSSIBLY play
ing a winning card In the cities is too
good to be lost, and therefore have re-
solved to disregard the opinions OF their
own constituents, And as for the Mug
wump Democrats, nearly all of them
belong to the Cleveland wing of the
party, which is DESTROYS of nominating
some Cleveland Democrat of New York
State for president, and therefore wish
to carry New York State this year by
hook or crook for the Democratic party,
in the hope of making an impression
upon the Democratic national conven-
ton. Thus every class of Democrats
would sacrifice Sunday for the sake of a
political victory in New York.
Undoubtedly, The Democrats will not
allow little thing like Sunday to stand
in their way.

THE NEW FORK DEMOCRAT

The New York Republicans declared
in favor of "the American Sunday"
They did right, even if this declaration
causes their defeat. And it is not at all
certain that they will not find their ac-
ton good politics The Republican par
ty has always done well when it was
on the right side of a moral issue The
Democrats of New York are now engag-
ed in planning how they can win A
correspondent of the New York Tribune
is surprised to find the rural Democrats
as firmly in favor of appealing TO the
people of the State to open the saloons
on Sunday as the city Democrats, who
naturally champion the cause of the
liquor dealers, for rural sentiment is
practically unanimous in its opposition
to legalization of the sale of liquor
upon Sunday. But to all appearances,

Philadelphia physicians are calling at
tention to a remarkable decrease in the
ravages of consumption in their city.
The vital statistics of the city show that
since 1881 the number of deaths for each
10000 Of population from this cause has
steadily declined year by year from BIZ
to % in 1894 One physician, in discuss
ing the matter before a State medical
meeting the other day, attributed this
decline in the mortality rate from pull
monary consumption to a better popu-
lar understanding of the CONSCIOUSNESS
of the disease. and consequent exercise
of greater care; but particularly to the
improvements in street drainage which
have made the streets dryer and cleaner
and prevented in great part the exhala-
tion Of moisture and disease-breeding
vapors.

miles from North Adams, Massachu-

of wires and with a cable such as is
used under the ocean, but in vain. The

ore has been found to interfere with

Elaborate experiments conducted by
Professor Zacharewiez at Vaucluse
prove that the color of light has a
marked effect upon vegetable life. Fruit
grown in natural white light, under
clear glass, ripens soonest and is of
best quality. Under orange glass it
ripens later and is smaller in size and
less numerically, though the leaves and
other vegetation are more luxuriant
The amount of fruit is increased by
the rays which fall Through violet
glass, but its quality is impaired. Red,
blue and green lights are injurious to
all kinds of vegetation. 1t is probable
that some corresponding effects, though
not so marked, would also be produced
upon animal life by colored lights.
