THE FINANCES OF FRANCE.

The position of the Bank of France continues to
improve. In the account current of the Government
the credit side has increased from 2O,GlOOOO to
about f26 00) 900, and the slight alarm which pre-
vailed about the payment Of tar dividends on the
Three per Cents, due the ODD Of June has subsidized.
These dividends, however, are very small the Five
per Cent. Stock constituting more than one half Of
II" debt Of France. These, with the dividends on
The -Four. Four and a Half, aud Five pr Cents, be-
come due in September next and before that period
it is to be hoped that the Government will have as
sum more stability. The floating debt Of t6IO,-

with about f325 900 900 of Treasury bonds, will re-

from Port Opposite and Havre-d dc Grace last Tues
day morning with ten canal boats in tow, laden with
Grain and other Produce, and was found TO ,cork
admirably well, Notwithstanding the heavy wind
which prevailed during the night. 1t is thought
however, that her associate, the LANCASTER, which
will be ready for operations by the 10th prox., will
rather excel her in speed she is few feet longer
although her power GOO horses and $40 tons bur-

to our mind all that is requisite to constitute her Tor
the office for which she has been designed. She is
sufficiently strong in material and workmanship, and
of sufficient speed to be safe with her conroy; and
BESIDES she is very handsomely fitted up for passen-

THE GOVERNMENT $4,000 900 LOAN.

From the Washington Union Of last Saturday.
The sealed bids for the loan of sixteen millions OF
dollars were opened yesterday, at O'Clock, by MIR.
Young the able and worthy chief clerk OF the lr'as-
ury in the presence of the Secretary, OF the heads
burcaus of The principal bidders, and spectators, III
the large entrance hall of the Treasury Department.
The time taken up in opening and arranging the bids
was more than two hours.
The total amount bid was $3.50, lao, nearly
every dollar at premium The whole loan was bid
for in the name of 'Corcoran Riggs, for themselves,
Barring Brothers & Co., of London and others, "
at premium of So 2-l0O, the premium offered by
them above par amounting 10 $siS32OO. They were
the highest bidders for about IA 900 OOn the re-
naming 81, 900 900 bringing premium ranging from
33-lOU to 5-l00. The total premium realized Is
about half million of dollars.
When we compare this result with the loss of for
tysix millions of dollars by discounts on the govern
,ncut loans during the of 1872, shown by the
Committee of avs and Means in their report TO Con
gross of 1890 aud the sale of one and three quarter
millions of dollars Of United States six per cent
twenty years stock at loss by discount, oil = per
cent as late as 1872 i'll time OF profound peace, the
premium of half a million Of dollars realized on the
present loan must be subject Of universal congratu-
iation BY men Of all pTties throughout this country
We perceive, besides their numerous other cores
nondcnts and customers that Barings Brothers Co.,
of London, and others, are associated WIN heSsrs'
Corcoran Riggs in their bid. So far as the loan IS
thus taken foreign account 1t would OF course lena
10 change the current OF specie and 10 cause rchuN
of cold and silver TO the country.
Mr. Secretary w alRcr is most fortunate IN having,
bv n postponcmcnt of seventeen days, succeeded III
fixing the day for opening the bids Tor the loan so as
TO have here and in the north in time before the Dids
were opened, the official news OF the ratification oil

Greatly Increased the premium. With the peace
now comes the end of loans and the business OF COM

Loss OF "THIRDLY"---Rev. Mr.. -, min
lister of a certain Scottish Parish, had the custom
Of writing the heads of his discourse on small slips
of paper, which he placed on the Bible before
him, to be used in succession. One day, when he
was explaining the second head. he got little
warm, and came down with such thump upon
the Bible with his hand, that the ensuing slip fell
over the edge of the pulpit, though unperceived
by himself. On finishing the second head, he
looked down for the third slip, but alas! it was
not to be found. "Thirdly," he ciied. looking
around with great anxiety. After little pause,
"ThirdIy," again he exclaimed, but still no third
iy appeared. "Thirdy, say, my brethrcn,"--
pursued the bewildered clergyman, but not anoth-
er word could he utter. At this point, where the
congregation were partly sympathizing with his
distress, and partly rejoicing at such decisive
instance of the improperly of using notes in
preaching, which had always been an unpopular
thing in the Scotch clergy, an old woman rose up
and thus addressed the preacher: "If I'm not mis-
taken, sir, saw Thirdly fly out at the east win
dow, quarter of an hour syne.' II is impossible
for any but Scotchman to conceive how much
this account of the loss of Thirdly was relshed
by that part of the congregation which condem-
ned the use of notes.

WRIGHI"S

uNDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS IN THE
CITY OF MEXICO.--G GREAT SUCCESS
AMONG THE vULUNTEERS!---LET
FROM A HIGH SHERIFF OF SOUTH CAR
OLINA,
Extract of letter from the editor Of the Green
willie Mountaineer, 3. e.
Dr.. w. WRIGHT-Dear SIR A
week or two ago / sent you a MouNrAINEEr,
containing letter from one of our Volunteers in
the CITY Of Mexico, in which he pays WRlGHT'S
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, under the cir
cumstances, the highestmeed of praise have ever
known medicine to receive. The Volunteer,
William w. Goodlett, Esq. is gentleman of fine
standng-an accomplished and well educated man,
'''N "' HIGH SHERIFF
of this District. BY one of your advertisements
in Charleston paper, happened to notice the
location of your office, and thought you might ex-
tract an al tice of some value in regard to your
medicine, therefore sent the paper.
Tide following is an extract from the letter re-
ferred to above:
"My health is very fast improving. procured
few days ago, some of Dr. Wright's Indian Veg
etable Pills, and they have acted on my system
LIKE MAGICw
Thus it appears that the brave and patriotic
Volunteers who have gone to Mexico, TO defend
the rights aud honor Of their country, already be-
gin to realize the extraordinary value oil this in
comparable medicine Long life to them!
HORRIBLE MISTAKES!!
Are sometimes made by confounding one medi-
cine with another, and administering the wrong
article. Equally horrible are those mistakes which
are made in surprising that all Pills are alike, and
that therefore it is Indifferent which are taken,
and if one kind is bad all are bad together This
is very great mistake. There is as much differ
ence between Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills and
other articles, as between midnight and monday!
We do not wish any one to take our word merely
for this statement Let any one. having taken
other medicine, try this. Nothing more will be
necessary.
Many persons have been lead away by CoAT.
ING OF SUGAR, as if they anticipated that it
would remove the nausea Of the medicine. But
they are generally mistaken. Without the SUGAR
those articles have nothing to recommend them,
and would not be sold single day. But with the
sugar, and by giving the article name SIMILAR
to Wrights Indian Vegetable Pills, they gain
temporary notoriety. Wolves they are, in
sleeps clothing, Of whom the public should steer
sufficiently clear.
Let it be remembered that WRIGHT'S INDI-.
AN VEGETABLE PILLS are prepared with
special reference to the laws governing the human
body Consequently. they are always good, al
ways useful, always effective in roofing out diseas-
es. Every family should keep them on hand.

AN INCIDENTAL late trip of the Steamboat
Fashion, has supplied the following diverting incl
dent which give in the words Of my informant:
II appears to be the custom at the various settle
ments on the Ohio, between our city and Louis
vile, for pair newly married to treat themselves
to an excursion, either up down to one of these
cities, which ever is the greater distance. They
are of course accompanied by their acquaintances,
and band of music is usually provided for such
occasions
In this instance, party came on board the steam
boat at Carrolton. One of the crowd, quite a
small man, although otherwise well dressed, had
on shirt-colar of such extraordinary dimensions,
as to fold down in all directions; in fact covering
his shoulders. The novelty of this feature of his
dress attracted all eyes. Among the spectators
was an overgrown Kentuckian, over six feet high
and proportionately athletic. He kept an eye upon
the collar prodigy for some time, watching him as
cat would mouse. At last he broke loose 80.
"Stranger," said ne, "f might make so free,
hav'nt you put your shirt on Drong eend up"
The little fellow felt inclined at first to resent
the remark, but one glance at the speaker changed
his mind. and making virtue of necessity, joined
in the burst of meriment that shook the cabin from
the centre to the extremites ---Cincinnati Paper.
