Count Ferdinand do Lesscps died yesterday at Lachenalo, near Vatniip, In tho department of IVIndro. During the night ho received the last sacrament. Ferdinand Mario Viscount do Is scps vyas b)rn In Versailles, Nov. Jt, 1S(W. IIo first went V. Into tho consular fir fccrvlco of his conn- try and vvns later minister to .Spain a n d to Ho m v . While oa a visit to DI5 LKSSUPtS. Fff.vpt In 1851 hedlsclosed his project for a Suez canal to Said Pacha nnd two years later secured tho desired coneesslon. Tho canal was opened for steamors of light draught In 1SG5, and tho full plans wcro carried to completion in lSiii). Sluco 187!1 Count do Lessens had concentrated Ills at tention to tho Panama canal, and in 1S75 at the meeting of tho congress of tho geo graphical sciences ho formally proposodto cut a canal across the Isthmu $ of Pau- ama. Ho formed a company with a capital of rZO 000 to malxo tho surveys, obtaining sup port from financiers in nearly all tho countries in Europe. In 1S7D ho obtained from tho Colombian government tho ex clusive privilege of constructing tho canal and immediately set about organizing a 6tocK company with a capitrl of f lSO.OiO, 000. This proving;! failure ho began again to organize a company with a capital of $100,000, 000, coming to tho United States frequently to advanco tho vast project. Tho company was constituted In January, 1881, and in October of tho samo year work was begun. JJut this company also failed, anil shortly afterward wcro insti tuted the celebrated trials iu tho French chamber of deputies which found tho vet eran engineer guilty of practicing fraud and sentenced him to imprisonment, from which he escaped only by tho clemency of a sympathetic people. M. l)o Lcsscps received in his lifctlmo most of the highest honors conferred by any of the Kuropean governments.

NEW SYSTEM OF BANKING. It Continues to Kngage the Attention of thu House Statesmen. Washixgtox, LV.'. 12. At the hearing by tho house banking nnd currency com mitted of tho several new plans for a bank ing system Secretary Carlislo presented his bill complete nnd argued in its favor as compared with tho plan of Eckels. Then Horace Whito presented a bill. In discussing the general question Whito mado this remark: "It has been said that there is no more reason why tho govern ment should guarantee tho notes of a bank than thoso of a merchant, a manufacturer or a farmer. This would bo truo if tho notes of tho merchant, tho manufacturer nnd tho farmer wcro allowed to circulate as money, but not otherwise." Ho wanted tho greenbacks retired nnd said tlicy were a menaco to business. IIo held that it wa 'tho paramount duty and right to provi'.lo for tho safety of tho com munity. C. G. Homer, of Baltimore, advo cated tho "Ualtimoro" plan, while Repre sentative Walker.of Massachusetts, pel tod tho Baltimore man with questions and de clared that his plan would result In moro confusion than now exists. In tho mcan timo Horace White's bill win being ex amined by the committee. Tho bill Is similar to the othVrs In gen eral plan, but differs in details. It does away with United States bonds and per mits tho issue of circulating notes on tho capital of the bank, receiving such notes from tho comptroller of tho currency to the amount of per cent, of its paid up, unimpaired capital upon paying to tho treasurer in lawful money to the amount of 2 per cent, of such circulating notes, and thereafter a tax at tho rate of one half of one per cent, per annum upon tho xiverage n mount of its circulation for a A Gentle Corrective Is what you need when your liver becomes inactive.

It is a mistake to keep too mauy fowls. Largo flocks aro often as bad for tho fowls as crowded tenements uro for hu man beings. A space of 10 feet square should bo allotted each fowl for exer cise. A houso 10 by 10 1.1 not too large for ten hens and ono male, aiid a dozen hens aro sufficient as tho maximum number for that ppaco. It will pay to sell off tho surplus. Measuro tho space you havo in squaro feet, nnd then di vido by ton, which will gi ve you thouum her of hens that will bo properly ac commodated with room. Small flocks assist in appropriating waste food that would othcrwiso bo of no value, and tho labor bestowed upon a small flock is of no consideration whatever, ns a, child may perform all tho work of feeding. When wo seo the records of a 6uiall flock of a dozen, wo aro always reminded that tho cost pro portionately is lower than for a largo flock, and a profit ot 3 or $3 per hen is not unusual, but when it comes to keeping largo numbers tho conditions aro then changed. Table scraps, which are potent with a small flock, become an insignificant portion of tho food for a largo number, and the farmer or the poultryman finds hi3 expens-es for food and labor increased moro proportionate ly for a largo flock than for a smaller one. Nothing gives more satisfactory results or affords greater pleasure than a flocl' of about a dozen liens. Each hen in th flock is well known to every member of tho family, and if ono per son neglects them somo ono will bo suro to notice tlio fault. They aro pets and receive tho very best of care. If tlio weather is severely cold or a rain-r-lorm sets in, tho hens are looked alter as carefully as if they were members of tho famil-, and they will lay and well repay for all tho caro that may bo be stowed upon rhem. Thoso who keep but few hens (mostly thoso who livo in suburbs of a city) aim to procure some thing good. Tho puro breeds aro used, becauso it is a pleasuro to have them, scrubs being rare. When tho farmers adopt this plan, they will find greater profit. IE mm UlfllE MWm 80 brands of Cigars to select from. 20 brands of Smoking Tobacco 15 brands of Fine Cut. ' 30 brands of Plug Tobacco.
