Observes Eightieth Anniversary.

Paris, Jan. 3O.-Henri Rochcfort, for
many years the foremost editor and
publicist of France, celebrated his

court-martial for his attacks on the
government and sentenced to impris-
ohment for life. He was transported
10 New Caledonia, but effected his es-
cape In 1874. The general amnesty of
1880 permitted him to return to Paris,

CAPTURING" AN EAGLE.

One of the incidents Of the last
season in Dead River region that
escaped press notice at the time was
the fact that William Ledgyard of
Boston and Albert Leavering of New
York, then guests at Round Noun
tain camps, attempted to capture an
eagle and were unable to carry off
the sky king alive. The furious
bird made such good use Of his beak
and claws that the gentlemen were
finally obliged to hold him under
water until he was drowned, in order
to demonstrate that one of them was
not in reality captive of the eagle.

CAUSE OF HIGH SEA WAVES.

The great size of the sea waves in
high southern ATTITUDES has been ex-
planned by the fact that south of the
Cape Of Good Hope and Cape Horn
there is neither windward nor lee
ward shore and the prevailing wind
in all longitudes is westerly. Thus
when a west wind springs up it finds
long westerly swell, the effect of
a previous wind, still running. The
newborn wind increases the steep
ness Of this swell, and so forms ma
ljestic storm waves which sometimes
attain a length of 1900 feet from
crest to crest.

sATIRIsT FOR OUR SINS.

Mr.. Robert Herrick has said q
true word in declaring Americas
need of a great satirical novelist.
That is a golden gift to any age or
any nation, but never, it must seem
to us, would such a gift be more
timely than at this stage of the
democratic experiment in America.
Its special value 10 US would lie
in its access to our national sense
Of humor. That sense is now chiefly
mere joke, irresponsible, improper
tionate, inconclusive and superficial.
But to a great sstirical humorist il
would open wide to the light. The
trouble with much of our self-hagel-
lation is that it lacks true proper
ton, which is the strong merit OF
satire. 1t is not merely serious, II
is a glum. = has not the tonic sting
of high comedy, Against it not only
our sensual complacency reacts, but
also our common sense.

WHEN THE IMMoRTALs NODDED

The French papers have made
much of a slip by NJ. Emile Faguet
in his grafton before the Academy.
The Academician rendered to Caesar
more than was Caesars due, for he
gave the Fighter and writer" credit
for a line which belongs to Cato.
But it seems the immortals are not
immune from lapsus linguae. Gen.
eral Langlois got mixed up with Pa
lestro and Solferino. Even Scribe
made Moliere refer to the revocation
of the edict of Nantes, which took
place in 1855, ~ years after Mo
Heres death. But perhaps a more
glazing instance is that of Monies
qutsu, who, in his esprit des Lois, +"
vol. I, chap. xxi, 20, writes: 81 have
many times deplored the blindness
Of the council of Francis l., who re-
buffed Christopher Columbus when
he propounded his scheme for In
dia." But Francis l. assembled the
throne in 1915, nine years after the
date of the death of Columbus.

WHY He PUT ON MOURNING
Billy Bowen Could See the Difference
Between Two Relationships That
Were Complicated.

'TTo which is a man most closely
related" said the genealogist, "his
first divorced wife's second husband
or his present wife's first divorced
husband?"
$50 far as l can see, one is about
as close as the other" said thought
full friend.
$50 l should say" said the gene
alogist, ':but Billy Bowen must have
figured out difference. Anyhow,
when his first wife's second husband
died Billy went to ball game, but
when his present wife's first husband
died he went into mourning. l can't
understand that"
81 can," said the thoughtful
friend. "Billy's present wife was
on the point of divorcing him so she
could remarry her first husband.
Now that he is dead, she has decided
to stick to Billy"
"Ah, 1 see," said the genealogist.
