France and England,

The news from London and Paris in re-
gard TO the Fashoda affair and the pros-
poets of a settlement between France and
England fuctuates between the extremes
of peace and war. There seems to be no
question Of the pronounced attitude of the
British public in favor of d sharp account
ing, while the French people are curiously
apathetic, being absorbed Just at present
by the Dreyfus revision and the labor
strtkes- In the capital. Ii is apparent, too.
that something has suddenly and wonder
fdly stinened Lord Salisbury's backbone,
as disclosed by his recent blue book" in
which the correspondence with France on
the subject Of Fashoda appeared sharp and
aggressive In comparison with certain for
eiSn Ofnce compositions of late months 1t
remains to be seen whether Salisbury's ac-
cessfon OF nerve has been due to an assur-
ance that France Is not disposed to fight
Tor Marchand's achievement but is willing
TO reiinquish the foothoId which that in
trepid pioneer has secured on the Nile
Iradition and geography favor the British
contention that France has no right on the
Nile. yet it is clearly to Frances interest,
in view OF her African ambitions, to pre-
vent. IL possible. Englands march from
Cairo to the Cape by cutting through from
the West African holdings which have been
secured by France TO the eastern coast or
at least TO the Nile. The plan OF a railroad
line throughout Africa, for which Cecil
Rhodes has been working and hoping for
years. has been greatly furthered by the
British success at Omdurman and the wip-
ing out OF the dervish influence in the Su-
dan France doubtless realized this result
as probable when the Kitchener expedition
started last January and there may have
been a close connection between this en-
terprise and the Marchand expedition
From military point of view Marchand is
OF course in no position to defend his hold

six Spaniards and the strangling to
death of another by a big negro Sar-

was a crack shot and the half dozen
Spaniards were lying about him with
pistol balls in their breasts, while
the other was In the vice-like grasp
of the black Hercules left hand, his
right gripping his six-shooter so
tightly that it could not be taken
from him and he was buried with the
weapon still in his hand. He was
cut and shot almost beyond recog-
nition."

To your bosom again he will be given
With fullness of joy and delight.

Which God by his spirit gives,
And through faiths rich manifesto

Your baby, sweet baby, yet lives.
In answer to the question asked
by the Wyoming correspondent !:
The question was asked in a way
that sounded like sarcasm to me,
but l never write anything only in
the purest motives. l don't think
it would add anything to the per-
sonal charms of young man to
wear ribbons or curl his hair. The
beauty of woman lies in her deli
cacy, the beauty of man in his
valor. The grace of woman lies
in her sympathy, the grace of man
in his strength. The sweetness of
of a woman lies in her purity, the
sweetness of a man in his tender
ness. But the goodness of both hes
alike in the soul, and the spiritual
requirements of each are ever and
always the same. / am no sage.
Solomon was a sage, and he said to
Judge a young man by the eompa-
ny he keeps, and a young man is
not far from ruin when he can say
without blushing he doesn't care
what other people think of him. |
don't understand what that was
written for, but this will cover the
whole ground. Come again.
