Con¬ sul Smitli reported to his government the filtlry sanitary condition of Three Rivers, the natives there being not at all in the habit of utilizing the advantages indicated by the name of their town. They could not answer Consul Smith's arguments or deny his facts, so they took a simpler way to get even with him by assembling in a body and stoning bis hoc: e. We always said so. A gentleman who lias just been making the tour of a con siderable portion of the United Htates says the American national vice is spit ty^g. The habit is wholly atmecesiairy —jus. unnecessary as it is revolting to every refined person.

If tbegnmt American spitter knew th : sulphurous, silent anathemas that are heaped upon him by the ant*ispitters whenever his loathsome presence crosses their sigiit and hearing, he would be absolutely scared. Stop it! : Chief Justice Buxson, of Pennsylva uia - in bi9 clmrge to the grand jury in tcase of the Homestead rioters, de fined clearly what constitutes treason against a state of the Union, uot agaiivst thfl United States. He began first by delfSrmg ^ that the Homestead strikers ww-e guilty of unlawful violence when tl.fy r«f,, se ,l to permit .. the .. men to.had t . , wsfmn the Carnegie company had lured to protest their property. *‘It cannot be tolerated for a moment that one laliorer shall say to another laborer, ‘You shall not work for lhis 1IMU1 for tlmt W!l b r « without my consent,’ and then enforce such command by brutal violence upon his peuson.” Following is the definition of what treason against a state is: ‘When a large number of men arm and organize themselves by divisions and companies, appoint officers and engage in a common purpose to defy the law, to resist its officers and to deprive any tion of their feHow citizens of the rights to they are eutitleil under the constitntion ;u,d luws< ir is a laying of war against the state, and the offense is treason.” One more step has been taken toward the extermination of the kingdom of Dahomey, in the last reported battle that took place Behanzin measured his ferocious amazons against the strength of a modern civilized nation, and got considerable information when it was too late to be of use to him. The next fight will probably wipe out Behanzin and his kingdom, and Dahomey will e°me a conquest of the white man. It was just so that the red Indians were dislodged from America, step by step, fighting every foot of ground. At the: end of the Twentieth century vt is quite possible that there will be as few native negro tribes in Africa as there are In dians now left in America. The great 1 question will be as to how the nations of. Enro P e 8ha H P« r cel °nt Africa among thu,u ' Lnckily for us we bave no <lireet interest in the matter. Our interests at present are in the direction of acquiring naval stations in the Pacific ocean and looking out for the future on that side of the world. The Military Drill. At a parade in which some regiments of (he national guard had place unum of cadets from est I^mt joined the procession and brought np the rear, j " bad been wise they J contrast was not fluttering to the botne drilled soldier. By comparison with the cadets the militia looked round shonl dered. loose jointed and shambling in their gait. Their knee joints bent and tnmbletl »b° ut awkwardly: they did not even walk erect. On the other hand, the slim, lithe cadets, straight as ar rows, stepping out from the hip joint, advancing with firm, even tread, excited universal admiration. Yet naturally the militia boys were 8,8 graceful, good looking and gen¬ tlemanly as any of the West Point youths. Before the cadets had been licked into shape by const-ant drill and athletic exercises they were fully as shambling and stoop shouldered as the national guard boys. The whole differ ence was in the attention to military drill. A famous English actress, noted f or grace and dignity of bodily move ment, tells ns in her autobiography that in her childhood she lived in a garrison tow«. Her mother whs determined on making the daughter graceful and erect, and therefore the drlllmaster from the garrison was employed to come and give the girl ° regular lessons. For several years M1 tlv , c ., h .„i„ uri , ses vitJi Uw« oI<Hm* m* tmctlmd by the young lady, ami to the day of her death she maintained that all girls should be trained by mflftary drill as they grow to womanhootl. it is of course not possible for young men who work on farms and in ollices daily to spend the time that West Point c; idots do in drill, but it is possible for tllelll to do In nch letter than they do at it. For their own credit and gooil looks they ougljt to take themselves seriously j n hand, eXSBUYTHE^ Junking Tight 1 * % S. a ■y £ \i/ & m3 \I7 i W HP, raj a z riN A S X s *' ^ 'most WCJUWORK,,^ 11 DURABLE, easiest ^<5TO Ali«wimtnla> THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST. f |£ 7p "zo^arne® “Bund Luck,”’and win a Now Home Sewing Machine.
