pasjpoits to Americans going to Itaeaia
if they happened to be of tt Jewish
faith. At the point where the paWica

form the Russian government that the
United States could sot acnit see in ibe
operation of scch foreign tribunals in I be
United States.
Mr. Breckenridge'a presentation of this
case was formally approved by Secretary
Olney. A collier important subject con
sidered was the absolute icsi;eo of the
Russian government upon it right to
punish any Rastiaa wi fait in its
poier after becoming a eMraen ci the
United States or any other country.
The correspondence beUeen the two
pivemments oa this subject wis so spir
iteJ as to ieaJ Minister Urec&inridfe to

Crime of a fTadman.
Pjinis.Jnly 14. Felix Fanre, presi
dent of the French repebite, was today
fired at from a distance of only a few feet,
by aa unknown man, bat the bnill for
tunately went wide of ite mark. anl the
president escaped nnharined.
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. The president wag ev
erywhere reeeived with cheer?, tbe pop
ulace taking that means of expressing
its gratification at his escape from a vio
lent death.
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.

Property at Sheriff's Sale.
KitiESK, Or.,Jnly 13. 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.

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

"It ii said that Charles Graham, presi
dent of tho local A. P. A. lodge, aud

oper.toi in Philadelphia. Ills creditors
here aie glad that ho is gone and extend
their sympathy to the community where
ho now resides."
Asa friend of Mr. Graham I desire to
say in Ins uctia'l that 1 have never
known hint to refuse to pav an honest
debt when it was in his power to meet
ttie obligation. It is probably true that

wouid like to t nquite how many more of
us would he in ihe same tlx were we
called upon at the present time to pay
our bills? I venture to ear not ono in
eeiy ten. This is not an indication of
dishonesty but rather one of mUfortuue,
and I say that nu only is it ungentle
manly but it a coitrdly in the Review,
or any other paper, to mske lijjhtofa
man's mufottune.
