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,

A LECTURE ON A SPOON.
The Bind Kaa Got It. bat He TmlUxl to
Comprehend m Word of It.
"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

He was assured of the fact; and having
regained consciousness the twain were
