President lOubet's Mother.

The new President of France has had
career which appeals peculiarly to the
liking and sympathy of the average
Frenchman. Emile Loubet is the son
OF a farmer whose ancestral acres were
situated in the little commune of Mars
anne, which is in the Department of the
Drome, in southeastern France. The
father Of the new President was es good
farmer and SO respected citizen that
he became at one time the mayor of
Marsanne. This estimable man, it seems,
died a good while ago; but his widow,
the mother of the President, still lives
and carries on the farm, at the age Of
eighty-six. The french publich is tax
ing a great deal OF interest in Madame
Loubet mere,- and the illustrated papers
from Paris are giving us a profusion of
pictures of the farmstead, with its sheep
and lambs huddled close in the sheltered
angle Of the buildings, and Of tho old
lady with her shrewd face and short
peasant skirt, who has been photographed
until she is heartily tired of it. She is
we'll enough pleased, doubtless, with her
sons advancement in position and fame,
but she will never believe him as great a
man as his father-once the mayor of
Marsanne and always weather. wise
and thrifty farmer-to whose picture on
the wall she points with reverence and
pride when visitors come to talk to her
about her distinguished son. The best
thing she can say of Emile is that she
believes he is growing to be good deal
like his father.-From "Some Notes on
the Now French President" IN the Am
erican Monthly Review OF Reviews for

A Notable Court-NIartial.

A Court M artial whose verdict was
subject for discussion for nearly twenty
five years, was that convened Nov. Is,
1852, to try Gen. Fitz John Porter. The
charge was Disobedience of Order, LIST,
in not beginning his march. at l a. M but
two hours later; I'd, Disobedience of
two orders, one to advance and another
to attack at the battle of Manassas. He
was convicted and cashiered from tile
army.
Many attempts were made to have tho
sentence reversed by Congress, but it
was not until sixteen years after, June
20, 1878, that Court of Inquiry was
appointed. The verdict of this Court,
which was composed of Cons. Schofeld,
Terry and Getty, was that "Porter's
faithful subordinate and Intelligent con-
duet that afternoon, Aug Goth, saved
the Union Army from defeat. Porter

of those in Natal and Rhedesia. has pre-
vented deli very of the Maine publications
to their subscribers among the English
speaking folk In those communities. The
postal authorities have notifie Marie
publishers that no mail could be received
addressed to any post offices In the ssat

moaopolizing the steamships to South

Rev. W. n. Be ~ makes the statement

1893, an inoreass of 90 per cent. rs against

are now many arrests for cruelty to ami
