The Aluvernlnir chum ot I'raMc.
After noticing the recent pastoral of
Mgr. Pie, Bishop of Poitiers, in which he
complains that the Church in France is no
longer recruited from the goveriug classes,
and as a consequence is losing much of Its
old-tiine authority, the Paris correspon
dent of the Scotsman writes: “It Is a
curious fact that the two most conserva
tive institutions im France have been de
serted by the governing classes, for the
army finds itself in the same situation us
the Church. In the olden times the French
nobility used to fight. The flowers of
French chivatry pesished at Poitiers,
where the King of France, with four of
his sons, fought, surrounded by twenty
six dukes and counts and 140 bannerets.
At Crecy eleven princes and 1,200 nobles
were among the slain, and ‘the prime no
bility of France was swept away upon
this memorable and sanguinary day.’
At Agiueourt 8,000 French gentlemen
fell, and the Dukes of Orleans and Bour
bon were taken prisoners. And the no
bility continued to serve in the King’s
armies up to the time of the Revolution ;
in fact, no one could become an officer
who could not pass muster at the Heralds’
College, and show that he was of noble
family. It would be Interesting to have
a return of the number of noblemen who
sacrificed their lives for their Country dur
lug the German war. The list would not
be a long one. There are, of course, ex
ceptions to this general desertion. There
is Marshal Mac Mahon, the Duo <l’ Anomie,
who commands an army eorps; the Due
de Chartres, who is a colonel of cavalry;
the Marquis de Gailifet, a brigadier-gen
eral, &c., Ac. But the general run of
officers do not belong to the governing,
classses and have neither 1 irth nor money.
The inducements to serve are not great. A
marshal gets £1,300; a general of division,
£800; a general of brigade, under £6OO,
and so down to the sublieutenant with
his £9O a year. The mess does not exist
in the French army, nor do officers reside
in barracks. The field-officers generally
dine alone; the oaptsins together; the lieu
tenants together. This in the interest of
discipline, and because the inferior officers
Cannot afford to dine as well as their
superiors.’’
BUT Trees In Wurth C arolina.;
The Charleston News it Courier
says:
We have all heard so much of the
“big tree# of California" that when
this subject is mentioned one’s mind
naturally files off west of the Rocky
Mountains. At the Centennial we
saw sections of bark from a single
tree so immense that one hundred
men could stand within the circle
made by the bark, as it stood en
closing a space just the size of the
trunk of the tree. This came from
California, and was, perhaps, the
largest wee in the world. There
have, however, recently been dis
covered sothe trees in North Caroli
na that are “no sardines.”
In surveying the route of the Spar
tansburg & AshvHle Railroad the
engineers encountered some chest
nuts that seems to nestle their burrs
in the upper firmament. A contrac
tor had to eradicate one of these, as
it stood directly in the way of the
track of the road, and it measured
ten feet three Inches across the
stump, and was solid to the centre.
This information was received from
the President of the Spartanburg &
Ashville Railroad, who induced a
party of friends to visit the route to
enjoy the magnificent climate and
scenery of the hitherto unexplored
section of Western North Carolina.
A Woman that lias Nliakrn Hands with
Every President from Washington-
Down.
X. Y. Sun.
Washington, April 24.—Among the
callers at the White House this morning
was Mrs. Sarah Davis, Who has shaken
hands with every President from Wash
ington down. She is ninety years of age,
and lives near the Navy Yard in this
City. She was accompanied by Dr. Isaac
Cole, of Maryland, and sent up her card
to President Hayes, who shortly after
wards came into the East Room and re
ceived her. She told the President that
when a little girl she saw Washington lay
the corner stone of the Capitol. The
President expressed himself gratified at
meeting her, and hoped she would live to
shake hands with ->other Presidents to
came. t .. ♦
An oriental traveller describee thin busy
scene, witnessed on historic shores; “Our
steamer landed on a beach which was the
portof Antioch, where the diselipes were
first oailed Christians. There waa no
town at the water’s edge, no people, no
wharf. The passengers and the merchan
dise were put ashore in lighters, which
ran up into the sand, A troop of camels,
with their drivers, lay on thebeach, ready
to transfer tbe goods into the interior.
Among the articles landed were boxes
marked Dr. J. C. Ayer A Cos., Lowell,
Mass., U. 8. A., showing that they con
tained medicines and whence they came.
These with other goods were hoisted on
the backs of camels, for transportation to
Antioch. Thus the skill of the West
sends back its remedies to heat the mala
dies of populations that Inhabit those
eastern shores, whence our spiritual man
na came.”— Windsor (Vt.) Chronicle.
T* All, Particularly Invalids,
spring is a trying season. Indications of
sickness should at once be attended to.
Fatal diseases may be caused by allowing
the bowels to become constipated and the
system to remain In a disordered condi
tion, until the disorder has time to devel
op itself. An ounoe of prevention is worth
a pound of cure, is an old and truthful
saying. Therefore, we advise all who are
troubled with the" complaints now very
prevalent—Headache, indigestion, disor
dered liver, Want of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. We know of
no remedy so harmless and decisive in its
action. It at once strikes at the root ot
the disease and produces a healthy tone
to the system. People never need BufTer
from any disease Arising from a disor
dered condition of the liver if they would
take this excellent medicine when they
feel the first indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer
mouths should take three or four boxes of
these pills with them. They have an
almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient of headache in one or
two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the
liver of surrounding bile, and will effect
ually prevent a bilious sttack. They are
sold by all druggists. myl eodlm
False Impression.
It is generally supposed by a certain
class of citizens, who are not practical or
experienced, that Dyspepsia cannot in
variably be cured, but we are pleased to
say that Green’s August Flower has
never, 4 to our knowledge, failed to cure
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint in all its
forms, such as Sour Stomach, Costive
neas, Sick Headache, palpitation of the
Heart, low spirits, Ac., Ac. Out of 30,000
dozen bottles sold last year, not a single
failure was reported, but thousands of
complimentary letters received from
Druggists of wonderful cures. Three
Uoees will relieve any case. Try it. Sam
