PARIS, March 6.-We have beer
Visiting, in their headquarte:s, the
most heavily responsible citizens o!
France. We began, as was but ioGi-
cal, with those occupying the smslles,
places; benches, in fact. the seats OF
which arc not over eight inches from
the floor. The citizens and citizen
esses stood up, one and all. as we en-
tered, to their full height of between
two and three feet, the citizens holding
their right hands stifTly to their right
broHs. for We had a genuine ma or
with as, and the citizenesses stand
ing with their small hands pTinly at
their sides their small fingers 5urrep-
(. titiously twisting at their smochs.
Perfectly satisfactory.
AS we gazed down on those rows
and rows of ci.uoiyy Cpturred faces.
any fears we might have entertained
about the future of France vanished
and were no more.
They did US the honor to lay aside
for the moment their heavy responsi-
.bilities connected with the chalky c2t
on the blackboard, and sang for US,
being led therein by the two star per-
$ormers, an urchin of four who was
'PSarceiy bigger than his boots, and 2

triumphs!
Those were worn BY a scowling-vis-
aged young gentleman of about half
past four. who stood with his arms
folded and pondered on his greatness.
and by three charming young ladies'.
OF about the same age, who we're the
most serious OF the class and had
their hair pulled back the highest
from their foreheads.
Splendid things those nedaIe.
They're very much like the ones earn
ed by the soldiers of France for con
spicuous gal!antrv. and they are ex-
cellent for the lungs OF children. Once
they cause the chest to stick out.
Just like home in this infant depart
nnent, except that the children are so
remarkably proficient in French. for
here the citizens and citizeresses min
gle, and are taught side By side until
they attain the ripe age of seven and
reach the rooms where the seats are
as much as ten or eleven inches from
the floor.
After. this grade they separate, the
girls to the sedate big building on

That we have heard her say;
And they will linger in our hearts

Her heart seems young and gay.
And we'll recall those cheerful smiles,
When mother goes away.
To her, while in declining years.
t0ur homage we will pay.
IND pleasant mem'ries viii remain,
When mother goes away.
Amid life's evanescent scenes,
Whose beauties round us play;
Well catch sweet echoes Of her songs
When mother goes away.
While she remains to cheer our
hearts,.
Her prccepts Wen obey;

COURT
 STARTS MONDAY
Docket For Winter Term Contains Ont Hundred and Twenty Cases,
 g Civil and 63 Criminal.

There are one hundred and twenty cases on the trial docket for the term, fifty-seen civil and sixty-three crim- inal cases.
 The criminal cases include four for murder in the first degree, one for accessory, one for rape, one for big amy, two for carrying pistol, one for grand larceny, one for malicious mis- chief, two for disturbing religious worship, seven for selling liquor, two for fogery, twelve for gaming, one for embezzlement, fifteen appealed from justice of peace court on va rious charges and thirteen tniscel- laneous cases.
 In reviewing the docket one thing specially noticeable is the small number of liquor cases. This shows that the "bone-dry law" is working all right in Jackson county and is rapidly putting the county "bone- dry"

of Ice Causes White River in This City to Rise Four Feet.
 No Damage.

There was rapid rise in White river yesterday afternoon, when a great ice gorge at Jacksonport broke and released large volume of water. The river rose four feet in Newport within very short ttime, but there was no damage done by the ice as it raced down stream.
 The river last night stood ten feet on the guage, and was rising slowly, but no apprehension is felt here, as there is no reason to believe that White river will reach dizzy height.
