ed by Proposed Regulations.
Paris Correspondence London Globe.
The Paris ragpicker, that interesting char
acter of the French capital, who has been
the subject of SO many plays and novels,
is again on the tapis. 1t may be remem-
hered that not many years ago the ancient
order of "Biffins," as the ragpickers prefer
to call thenselves-why 1 cannot say-was
on the point CT disappearing altogether. Up
to that moment the rubbish of the town
was thrown in heaps into the cutters. 1t
was from these heaps that the ragpicker
got his daily bread before the dust cart
came round. Such was the situation when
one morning the sanitary authorities, hav-
ing nothing better to do, decided to change
1t. 1t was NJ Poubelle, the then prefect of
police. who undertook the task, which,
naturally, made him very unpopular with
the "Biffins." The system which he pro-
posed, and which was adopted, was to
place the rubbish in metal box inside the
house instead of In the gutter, and throw it
into the dust cart as 1t passed by. 1t was
a1..sd that the public health would be a
gamer by the change, but the "Biffins''
could not see this, and they protested
against being deprived of the means of
earning their livelihood. Ultimately, how
ever, it was arranged that the boxes might
be placed on the curbstone, so that the rag
picker would be able to explore them'
Another change which has aroused the
'Biffins'' to arms Is now being discussed
So far they have not broken the public
peace, and have remained calm and iigni-
fled. Who knows If Diogenes, whose por-
trait has been transmitted to US in the
act of searching the pavements of Athens
with his iantsrn, was not ragpicker be.

A visit TO Vesuvils in eruption on the 18th

spondent, who says great number of tour
lists are making this excursion. A track
has been made across the new lava which
has more than once lately blocked the car

tion was in great activity. The spectators
could only stand on the edge and gaze
down into the enormous depth of the crater

masses OF molten lava shot up like shells

issued from the smoke with much anxiety
as to the place where it might fall sand
with keen sense of the danger of being in
its way. Much of thu lava, after a particu-
larly loud roar from the crater, fell on the
sides OF the cone, and within a few feet of
the flying spectators. When it was safe

When at Anita last Saturday Congress
man Mcpherson received telegram
from Indiana telling of the sudden and
unexpected death of his father. This
made 1t necessary for Mr. Nc
Pherson to cancel all his speaking ap-
pointments for the present in this cam
paign. He took the train at once for
Indiana. The announcement was a
great blow to Mr.. Mcpherson. His
father was quite aged, but he was in
fairly good health. Mr.. Mcpherson was
fondIy cherishing the thought that as
soon as this present campaign was over
that he would stop in Indiana on his
way to Washington, where he was
going to assume his duties as congress-
man, he would have long and good
visit with his father and mother. He
spoke of this to some of his friends al
Audubon last Friday, and it was plain
that he was anticipating much pleasure
from it. His many friends in this
county extend their sympathy to him in
his sorrow.

Congressman McPherson's meeting at
Kimballton last Friday evening was
decided success in every way. 1t was
largely attended by the people of that
vicinity and many were there from
other perts of the county. A martial
band from Audubon consisting of Messrs
Drake, Wilson and Henshall enlivened
the occasion by their presence and the
Kimballton band contributed several
excellent pieces of music. Jasper Jen-
sen called the meeting to order and
made few practical remarks. Martin
Esbeck acted as chairman. Mr.. Nc
Pherson treated at considerable length
the three issues, sound money, trusts
and the Philippine question, speaking
in his earnest, able and persuasive way.
At the close Asmus Boysen spoke few
minutes which showed plainly his ability
as clear and good speaker. In point
of large attendance and good results
this was one of the best meetings ever
held at Kimballton.

were in the Philippines year lacking a

at each of which place they stopped
two days, he regards as the most inter-
