Iiow Farmers and Others May Avoid Being Swindled. It will Work livery Time. The country editor, while jhe is probably swindled as often as any one, feels that it is his duty to warn his constituents of all the schemes which come to his knowledge, and he thereby s*ves bis readers thousands of dollars. The following which is clipped from a western pi jer, shows how you can avoid being s.vindled if you do conclude to buy from, er make a contract with a stranger. 'A good way to test a swindling scheme is to offer a non-negotiable note when the time comes for the signing. Mark out the words or order" or "or bearer" which always follows the blank line on which is written the name of the name to whom the note is givea. Make it payable to him alone. That saves you all right. If the note is given with a view of a contract which thejother party offers, just write upon the note ahead of your signature these words: "The payment of this note is made conditional upon the performance of the contract for which it is given." Always remember that no matter what oral contract you have, it will have nothing to do with the payment of the note unless it appears on the face of the note, and then you must have witnesses, unless you have a written contract, by whom you can prove your contract. You will never get an agent of any fake or swindling scheme to take a note payable to him or referring on the face to the contract he makes. It is not always a sign that a swindle is attempted when a negotiable note is demanded, but in regard to dealing with strangers, it may safely be said that you will win nine times where you will lose once by refusing to deal with them or their
agents at alL"

Mr. Prentice and Thomas Aciamson went to the falls, and thoy tried to keep
grandest uffivirs tuat everoc- [together as they went, from point to curred iu GicC?iHe»d, mean time drop in at the
point Tawing »11 spots about the cataract. They spent an hour or so in viewing the falls from above, then they put on rubber suits and started below. They went down the elovator and then down the stairway to the rocks. After a time they concluded that they had seen all that was to be seen boiow, and were upon the point of returning when Prentice told A damson to go and ask one of tho guides if there were anything else to be seen down there. Mr. Adamson tiu K'd about r.nd went to .hunt for the guide. Ho was gone about live minutes, and when lie came back his friend Prentice was .. missing. Ailamsson was puzzled at the
I disappearance of .Prentice. Adamson had spent about half an hour looking for Prentice, when the news reached him that his companion had been found down between the rocks up to his neck in water. In a few minutes after this news reached Adamson he was joined by Prentice, who told of his experiences after Adamson had left him to look for the gtvirii1.
Mr. Prentice said that sifter Adamson turned back he thought he would walk down into a .gully between the rocks. Pie noticed that it was comparatively dry there. He was therefore considerably surprised soon after he got down into the gully to have a stream of water two feet deep and moving with great violence strike him in the back Gf the logs. The stream was so strong that it staggered him, and to avoid bo iiif,' swept from his feet and carried on into the river he crouched down in an angle of one of the rocks, with his back to the torrent and braced himself to resist the power of the stream that had cut off his line of retreat. He had hold of the edge of the rock with his hands and he did not dare to let go for fear the current would sweep him out from behind the angle. He yelled {or help, but the noise of the weter drowned pjs cries. At one time he looked over the edge of the lock and saw the Maid of the Mist 100 feet away iu the river. He shook his head, hoping that the passengers on the little boat would notice the motion, but no one saw him.
After he crouched down behind the rock the water washed over his body up to his neck. He was on the point of giving up when a stranger who had also come down to the rocks saw him and notified the guides. Prentice waa hauled out with a pole. The stream of water that surprised him came from a millrace that is closed part of the time.
BROKEN HEARTS IN FRANCE.
Held of Less Account by the Law Than Broken Legs. In no instance does the profound difference of national character in England and France appear more striking, says our Paris correspondent, than in the
views held on both sides of the channel regarding breach of promise. Of course engagements are broken off in France as well as in England, but it is only in England that heavier damages are awarded for a broken heart than for a broken leg. The offense is all but unknown in the French law courts, whether it is that Frenchmen are less inclined tc it or that the Frenoh girl dislikes bringing her sentimental troubles into court. To show English readers how incredibly prejudiced French persons of both sexes are upon this subject it is enough to say that a young lady who attempted to turn her wounded feelings into cash would be regarded as only a degree less mean than the faithless man.
The very small number of suits for breach of promise have always been supported by a plea that the lady was put to expense,

there must be bed

they were £o0 out of pocket for the broken engagement. They might have had this but, badly advised, they put on another item of £350 for the moral prejudice. The French judge did not understand this, and he dismissed the case.—London News.
Napoleon's Statement About Engliica. When Napoleon was on his deathbed, a maladroit attendant read from an English review a bitter arraignment of him as guilty of the duke's murder. The dying man rose, and catching up his will wrote in his own hand: "Ihad the Due d'Enghien seized and tried because it was necessary to the safety, the interest and the honor of, the Frei-ch people, when by his own confession the Comte d'Artois was. supporting 60 assassins in Paris. Under similar circumstances I would again do. likewise." -Nevertheless he gave himself the utmost pains on certain occasions to unload the entire responsibility, on Talleyrand. To Lord Ebrington, to O'Meara, to Las Cases, to Montholon, he asseverated that Talleyrand had checked his impulses to olemency.—"Life of Napoleon," by Professor William M. Sloane, in Century.
