Island of Corsica.

While the Island of Corsica derives it's fame from being the birthplace oi Napoleon, the name of Pasquale de Paoli is more dear to the natives, for ft was under the leadership of this patriot, in 1755, that they escaped from the yoke of the Genoese. For 14 years he wisely administered the af' fairs of the island. In 1760 France bought the island from Genoa and landed an army of 22,00o, which Paoli met with few thousand Cor. sieans and fought until his army was reduced to 537 men; yet he cut his way through and escaped to England, where he remained 20 years. At the outbreak of the revolution in France he returned to his native land and be- came military governor, but he could not get on with his old enemy, SC he returned to England, where he died in 1897.

 The discovery of footand-mouth di- sease in the stockyards of nine cities, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Louisville.

No cattle. however, may be he'd for more than forty eight hours. Govern ment in pectors have been authorized to slaughter cattle held in violation Of this order.

German efforts to bring Bulgaria in.

are invading Serbia.
The indications are that Russia will
assent to this plan, that Italy vii;
not oppose it and that England pro-
badly will give her adherence. The

Balkans requires that the prospec.
tive Bulgarian attack on Serbia shall
be prevented by demand on Bul
