FRENCH F1NANcE.-The Paris papers con-
tain translation Of NJ Regnaud's report on
the French finances for 1911; we subjoin the
account OF what is called in France the Ca
dastre, with which we have been favored by
correspondent. 1t is measure, he observes,
which is little understood in England but
which is likely to effect an important charge
in the financial system of France.
The Cadastre is survey by actual admea-
surement Of every parish, nay, of every field
In France, Tor the purpose of asceTtaining the
exact proportion of land tax which each land
owner or farmer is to pay. The land is after
wards valued by kind Of Jury, taken from
among the prisoners and plan of the parish,
with the valuation of each field, is sert to the
minister Of finances. One copy of it is given
to the head Of the department, and another
remains with the mayor of the parish.
lhls Cadastre is not an invention OF the pre-
sent government of France; the idea origin
ated long before the revolution, with sect OF
theoretical statesmen known under the name
of Economists; and who, although well mean
ing men, contributed powerfully to the fall OF
the monarchy, by the prevaIency their theories
had obtained. A leading tenet OF those phi
losophers was, that agriculture alone was re-
ally productive to the state; it followed, Of
course, that the state was to look exclusively
to it for its support-but in their romantic
notions of justice, the burden they thus laid
inadvertently on the agriculture they wished
to foster, would not be equally supported by
all, unless an actual survey and valuation Of
all the lands should actually take place. So
prevalent were those ideas in France at the
beginning of the revolution, that most Of the
cahiers, or written instructions given to the
deputies of the national convention by their
constituents, contained Recommendation Of
the Cadastre.
Bonapafte thus found the idea thoroughly
established; and soon discerlcd the adsar-
tages he might derive from it. The Cadastre
will put every acre Of land in France as COM
pieteIy at his disposal, As the laws of the con-
scription mark every man for his soldier

: Those prints only state of his majesty's
health what We had known in an early part
of yesterday, and we deeply regret to say
that it is of the most gloomy complexion.
Late on Saturday evening his Majesty's dis
order wore SO unfavorable an aspect that evea
his medical attendants, who had hitherto Gil
ven such sanguine representations of his case,
entertained the most serious fears for his safe
ty. 1t was not that any fatal event would
take place Immediately, but that he could not
long sustain the violence of his distemper in
its twofold pressure, mentally and bodily.
The statements which issued from Wind.
SCR, on Saturday last, and which perhaps
were grounded upon what had been under
stood to be the medical opinions, rehnqaish-
ed every hope of the eventual recovery of
our good Sovereign, and only passed conjec-
lures, as to the probable period that his con-
stitution could resist the accumulation of dis
ease which oppressed him.
The character of northern policy is very lit.
tie v4ried by the last accounts procured by the

MISCELLANEOUS SELECTIONS
THE DISCONSOiATE WIDOW (!
A HINDoo ANEcDoTE.


Near the city Of Smyrna, Bramin lately died, and
left wife behind him.
In countries subject to the authority and govern
mcnt of the Mahomedans, the custom of women
committing themselves to the funeral pile with the
bodies of their deceased husbands is, at least if not
abolished at least under very great restrictions
it's not allowed to be ractised, but by express per-
mission.
The widow of the Bramin therefore, waited in per-
the governour of the city, and in most pa
thetck manner, mplorcd his permission for the high
honour of burning with the body Of her deceased
husband, which the goyernonr peremptory refused
to grant her. Nothing discouraged thereby, she
continued her entrcates, prostratlng herself on Abe
ground before him, and mingled her tears with the
dust.
An entrcaties were in vain the governour

gazed ardently on the young woman and now and
then urnng his eyes towards the g0vernour silently
rep,oached him for refusing the prayer OF the wld.

the priest, he exclaimed, Wretch, is it you who
have administered intoxicating herbs, to excite iren
2y--is IL owing 10 your pernclous doctrines, that
custom so shocking to humanity is still in practice
go, depart hence, and be no more seen"
The Bonze undaunted stood his ground-he as
sured the govcrnour that he had spoken to the
woman before him yet confessed he had prepared
many others TO undergo the same sacrifice that 1t
was an act agreeable to their cod Brama and for
this reason he begged the governor, III The most re-
spectful manner, to grant his consent on which the
widow redoubled her tears prayers, and entreaes
The Bonzc, thus encouraged TO go on, added,
Sir great, great will be her reward, great her
compence in the other world there she will be JOIN
ed with her husband, by sacred marriage, and live
with him TO all eternity"
The widows fine black eyes instantly received
new ustre. She darted piercing look at the Bonzc
expressive of satisfaction, mingled with portion of
terror. "What," exclaimed she, " shall indeed

Ir is certain that our language has undergone
material change within a century or two past and
rs that change has not been recognized III our col
lcges or academies, think II high tune II should cx-
cite some attention
A pro fusion of cpithets and expressions have been
n the language, both by the fashionable and yul-
gar classes of society, and have in the course of
time been adopted by both Ii pains me TO perceive
the extreme ungracetul with which they are general
ly used how ot ten they are iil-tmed or misplaced.
To correct this grievance, which must be sensbiy
felt by every admrer of pure language, would sug-
ge,t the eApediency of establishing academy, en-
titled the SWEARING ACADEMY. Here the schol-
ars should be ranked in different classes, according
TO their proficiency.
They should be taught the positive comparative,
and snperative degrees of sweari K. What kinds
of oaths the most original and fashionablewhat
the appropriate accent and countenance with which
they should be appicd--and the different style Of
swearing that should be used towards the barber
who scratches your chin, and the rufan who breaks
your head.
Children Of any age ahoud be admitted, who
should first be nduccd into the study, with the in
nocent words ot-quiz him-smoke him-hoax him
they might then rise to the more son0rous terms
of-cursa him--ds'n him--and at length arrive at
the most magnificent terms of obsccration.
Our pretty gentlemen might thus be learned the
true art OF swearing in graceful and appropriate
manner, free from that vulgarty which they often a.
dopt through mistake.

lately thought proper to engratt this pleasing Gus

begin now and then to lisp oath in the pretticst

be appointed to the academy, who shonld wait upon
the ladies at tneir own houses, and instruct them

voice and delicate mouth, that he might the
silly learn them the necessary meditation oi tone, and
the true manner of arranging their sweet little lips
to the occasion, that tue oaihs, soencl To a gen
