President Facre had gone to the Champa to review the troops. He had no sooner entered the field when a man in the crowd stepped forward and fired at him. The shot did not take effect. The wonld-be assassin was arrested, lit declared that he only fired a blank car tridge. When it became known in the crowd that the president had not been hurt by the pistol shot, cheer after cheer was fent up. Tbe people oocld scarcely be restrained by the guards from crowd ing about the place .where the president and ht3 suite were ttamluig. 8W3 of tbe attempt opon the life of the presiden spread with great rapidity amone tho crowds celobratiug the na tional fde day.

Faure wag seated in an open carriage, accompanied by M. Melice, the premier, and M. M. Boisdefe and Tottmcy, when a well-dressed man apparently about 10 years of age, who had been leaning against a tree, took deliberate aim and fired twice in quick succession with a revolver at the president. He had cot time to fire again b:fot e the crowd closed iu upon him and seized him, and bat for the prevention of the police he would probably have been lynched. Tho name of tbe miscreant is given as Francois. It appears that some time ago, in order to draw attention to a supposed Rriev auce he fired a revolver in the hall of tho chamber of deputies. Francois declares he had no desire to harm the presidont, and fhe sole purpose of his act wai to eecuro a hearing by the piesident cf his grievance. Silver To Be Coined. Sax Fkakcusco, July M.

The past two days the county coctt hashad under con sideration the subject oi protection of buyers of property at sheriff's sale for delinquent taxes against double assess ments, which is a subject cf considera ble importance, and cne which has caused considerable anaoyamtr for years. The let county court fonnd itself be sieged with petitions for return of par- chase money paid for property at de- Irsqaent s&Ie, incases .:irethe prop etty bad been doably is-.? ssed, and taxes had been paid by ote 4 the partit to whom it was auesie i. The court se cared counsel ' i written opinion to tbe effect there was na law authorizing tbe rvtnrn oi the purchase money in such case, bat that Ibe purchaser must take all risks. If he paid for a uieoe of property, and it was afterward found to be a doable assessment, and conse quently no title, the court could not be required to make good the errors of the assessor, even hoagh he be an officer of the court, riince this opinion was re ceived and acted open by the last court, it is almost impossible to secure Luje-s for any property thus gold, which has been a setioas impediment to the work of dosing up the delinquent rolli. Now thai the delinquent rcll for 1 95 taxes is ready, the court desires to anacge so that buy era can be had for property offered. Hither an abstractor had to lie employed to go over the entire roll and expert tbem, or tbe court had to give assurance that it would refund the pur chase price in case of double assBsmeut, and it chose tbe latter, fn cases of erroneous assessments, soch as property assessed to other than the rightful own ers, tbe purchaser will, cf course, still have to take his own risk in regard to title. A BARBAROUS CUSTOM.

It is dollars to doughan'a lhat not half dozen ir sons will ever take the trouble to read the wie.iom therein displayed by the city attorney and the city fathers, thougl they aro evidently expected to do so, else why the law requiring the ordinance to lie posted? It is a barbarous law at best, and an absolute waste of the money expended in the posting. Business men interested in knowing what said on'.i nance contains, ought not to be expected to waste their time in running around town borrowing laddors and then risk life and limb to gel the desired iufonna lion t oacernsng the laws ol the town re lating to their Iwsincfs and how it shall I be conduflc'. i Kvcral yi -r, a,-o th.- dly cotiwil made arrangement j with the city p.ipma BRIEF MENTION.
