THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The Paris correspondent of the "Frankfurter
Zetung," in writing about the monument recently
erected to Emile Ievassor. in the Bos de Bouogne,
says that while Musset and Bazac had TO walt
half a century for a memorial Levassor, the first
automobile manufacturer was honored within ten
years. The poet is remembered at tramway halt
ing place, the automobile maker in the beautiful
woods where the natural perfume has been con-
uuered by petroleum. II do not wish TO belittle
Levassors WORTH says the writer. ''for possibly
he earned his laurels. He fell the battlefield
Of progress in his vocation. When he won the
Bordeaux prize in 1891 he made the run from Paris
TO Bordeaux in forty-eight hours. To-day II Is a
days Journey. So If he only beginner why
not honor the first one? Gottlieb Deimer was only
the inventor while the Frenchman secured the
patents and raised money to make of them.
His name will probably be honored with
monument. He died before he could know the
extent of the business for which his invention laid
the foundation"

Correspondents of London papers, writing OF the
return to various countries of many thousands
of laborers from America give different reasons
the emigration. The Pail Mall Gazette in a
dispatch from Budapest says The great majority
Of those returned emphaticaly asserted their abll-
ity obtain q better livelihood in Hungary than in
America Now comes the news that two other
patches of emigrants expected. one of the
vessels bringing fewer than 1900 home to the
land while the second brings nearer 1000 to Hun
gary. From America one hears that all this is un-
skilled labor, and unskilled that it cannot be
taught Nevertheless. there still remain some 1900
COO Hungarians in America and the exodus from
Hungary is large ever. Hungary needs badly
