this apparently being either assessed

this apparently being either assessed
separately, or possibly seized separate
~, under the curious French law,
which enables town to take and pay
for the land only to be used for i'm
provements, leaving to the owner the
use of the building upon it, so long as
he can make it stand without repairs
The most expensive piece of land
mentioned in the assessment was one
on the Rue Tiquetonne, a short and
narrow street, which, however, extends
directly from the postoffice to a wide
street, the Rue de Turbigo. For this
tract Of 1880 francs per square meter
was awarded, about $33 a square foot,
or $4,000 per front foot, allowing an
average depth of $50 feet.
In the Rue d'Aboukir, not far off,
which leads from the Grand boulevard
directly to the Bank of France, only
$40 square foot was awarded, or 81, $50
a front foot, averaging the depth of 150
feet. Next to that on the Rue Tique-
tonne, the most valuable piece of land
taken was on the Rue Herod, far off
In the suburb of Auteuil for which $27
square foot was paid, or S4,050 a
front foot, averaging the depth at 80
feet.
Among the cheaper tracts was one on
the Rue du Bac, famous among the la
dies as the one on which the famous
Bon Marche is situated, which brought
50 square foot, equivalent to $3.50
a front foot, with a depth Of $50 feet.
The cheapest lot of all in the thickly
settled part of the city was one on the
Chemin des Meuniers, near the park
of Vincennes, and close to the vast
warehouses of Bercy, for which only
36 cents foot was paid, or $54 front
foot; while a lot on the Avenue Daum-
senil, near by, the principal street of
the Bercy region, brought only about
$1.25 square foot, or $1S7.5O front
foot.-St. Louis Republic.

The fact that eight whaling vessels
are nipped in the ice at Point Barrow,
with nearly two hundred souls on board,
is creating widespread feelings of ap-
prehension along the coast, and partic-
ularly among merhants engaged in the
whaling business and among sailors
and their families. The anxiety has
become so great that the trustees of the
San Francisco chamber of commerce
have determined to hold meeting for
the purpose of formulating a telegraphic
dispatch to be sent to the President of
the United States, urging him to uis-
patch relief expedition to their rescue
at the earliest possible moment.

THE ROSE OF STARS.

When love, our great immortal,
Put on mortality
And down from Eden s portal
Brought this sweet world to be,
At the sublime archangel
He laughed with veiled eyes,
For he bore within his bosom
The seed Of paradise.
He hid it in his bosom,
And there such warmth it found
It brake in bud and blossom,
And the rose fell on the ground.
AS the green light On the prairie,
As the red light ON the sea,
Through fragrant belts of summer
Came this sweet world to be.
And the grave archsnGel, seeing,
Spread his mighty vans for flight,
But glow hung round him fleeing
Like the rose of an arctic night,
And sadly moving heavenward
By Venus and by Mars,
Te heard the joyful planets
Hail earth, the rose of stars.
