French Press Urging Measures of Re venge Against the Tariff Act. Washington, Dec, 18. F. B. Loomis, commercial agent of the United States, at St. Etienne, France, says in a letter to the state department that the French press is trying to excite its readers into a state of revengful fury over what it calls the injustice of the McKinley tariff act. "This sentiment is not, it is true, strong enough at present to be form idable," says Mr. Loomis, "but if a continuation of this press fanning be kept up, no one can say what its ulti mate development will be. The cry for specific retaliation was raised by the Memorial, an influential paper published here, and circulating in a laboring com munity of 200,000 souls. The American interests which have leen marked for attack by papers are those represented by the United States insurance com panies doing busiuess in France. The volume of business of this sort trans acted here amounts to $30,000,000 an nually, so' that the American interests threatened are very considerable, and I have thought it well to make this report." An Ideal Southern Day. Last Sunday seems to have been- an all-wool fine day in Atlanta. We quote from a poem-editorial in our esteemed contemporary, the Constitution: "The drifting cloudships lay becalmed in the softened expanse of Heaven's azure deeps, and the still, small voice of God was heard in the song of the sam mer wind rippling down from the moun tains. "It was an ideal Atlanta day, idyllic in its suDiime Deauty. in its contem plation one forgot the griefs of the past, For coughs and colds use 2379. -, . - 2379 is the cough syrup for children.

"I remember.' said the- reconterrr of the pertv, "a dispensation of what might be called Spartan justice. It happened when I was a boy- and made a lasting impression, as incidents of the kind do an a Youthful mind. "Our folks at home had some old sil ver spoons that had been in constant service for generations, and were small and thin, and carried in their shallow bowls the marks of every tooth in the family. Each spoon had a history and an association, as spoons did have in those days, and they were looked after with the greatest care. My mother placed them under her pillow every night, and the whole family would be regularly awakened by a midnight clat ter ox rattling spoons, as they had a rest less habit of falling oat of bed, bo their value was enhanced by the many sleep- bb nignts tney cost. "Well, one of those precious spoons was missing, and there was a great tolo over it. The servants were all ques tioned, but no one had seen the mossing spoon. That night a colored girl, who had been taken in Bome months before by my mother, and who was a bright and rather precocious character, told of see ing a new hired man on the premises baling something in his jacket She even essayed to find the jacket, and, sure enough, between the lining and the oat side was found the lost spoon. "My mother was so happy in recover ing her property that she wanted the man to go scot free. Not so my rather. who was a solemn church goer. - 'I will give him a lecture on the sin of stealing,' he said, 'and keep him, as he is a useful man. I am very sure he will never steal from ns again.' "I accompanied my father to the kitchen, where the man was raking ashes over the coals of a hot fire and pre paring to go to bed. He sat submissively BtQl as my father appeared, carrying a large Bible, and he listened to the lect ure that was delivered with an unmoved countenance. I slept and awakened sev eral times before it was finished. My father's solemn, monotonous voice af fected me hke a soporific and I did not try to fathom the language be used. The culprit was a German, and 1 have since learned that he did not under stand one word my father said to him, nor even the nature of the accusation against .him. I thought then, as I lis tened to my father's bass tones in that grim monologue, that the punishment was adequate to the sin. I had been lectured mysejf, and would have con fessed to almost anything to have es caped toe consequences. "The lecture was supplemented by a prayer, in which my Cater implored divine forgiveness for the offender. The German took it all in good part and re mained in his. situation, bat was no doabi care folly watched. Some years after the colored girl acknowledged that she had put the spoon in his jacket in order to get rid of him and gratify her love of mischief . ' -As . he never alluded to it in any way we could not tell what he thought of the services of that night, or how much of the long moral lecture had been comprehended. But lam certain he never understood the criminal nature fcf the occasion. " Detroit Free Press. A Beol Creole Cook. Aside from a few private houses, there is only one place in New York where a real Creole gumbo -file, or a real Creole doube, can be had, and that is a little restaurant upon the third floor of a large bnek nouse on University place. The restaurateur is an old Creole him self, who is satisfied with an average of twenty customers a day. He both cooks and serves the food himself, having but one assistant, who washes the pots and kettles and dishes and keeps things clean generally. But old Moietz Maritani is a famous cook, and could command a large salary shoold he listen to some of his friends. He speaks no English, and in fact no French or Spanish, but simply the real old New Orleans Creole dialect, which is a mixture of both French and Spanish. The gumbo file he serves is a marvel. It is a great favorite with Dr. Chauncey M. Depew and Mr. H. Walter Webb, the third vice president of the New York Central railroad. It is a sort of soup, made of chicken meat, crabs, shrimps or crawfish, bacon, eggs, okra, sassafras, and flavored with fine old sherry wine. Just before it is served a quantity of grated boiled potatoes and flour and plenty of seasoning is added. It is a whole meal in itself. New Yonk Jour nal. Bridegroom Waa ComftaaodL A resilient clergyman, who has a keen relish for humor, tells of an incident in the professional experience of a clerical friend. The clergyman referred to had been engaged to perform the marriage service, and the expectant bride and groom were standing before htm in the church. The service had proceeded as far as the question: "Wilt thou take this woman to be thy wedded wifer No response being made, the question was repeated a little more emphatically "Wilt thou take this woman to be thy wedded wile?" "Eh ah beg pardon. Were you speaking to me, Birr He was assured of the fact; and having regained consciousness the twain were quickly made one. Portemoath Tunes. A.
