the dynasty Of Orleans has sunk the more
terrible and fatal tyranny Of capital over
industry. Yes, as that rotten old throne
burned and cracked, far more mounted /
embers. 1t was found to be stuffed with
the political economy of Adam Smith; its
supporters were fair competition, able
bodied raupe perism, free trade aud starvar
ton. To pinch the vitals Of the working
man in order to swell the money bags OF
the millionaire--to take full twelve
hours nf toll and give half days food IN
return; and to do all this by the mere op-
GRAFTON of free trade, and the liberal doc
trne Of sup, ly and demand; such were the
maxi ms, principles, creed, and gosples of
the Orleans thronei and as il sunk in red
ashes % that day of glory, they, too, as
recognized principles, disappeared from
French social life, we may hope for ever.
1t is we'll that we should all fix in our
minds the actual gain, the real substan.
tial thing done by each Of the three
French revolutions; for, after all, the
change of outward sym boIs sofgovernmen,, :,
the setting up or the burning down Of
thrones and sceptres, is small thing
A Aeur de,lys is in itself as good as tri-
color-and tricolor, with the blue next
the flagstaff, is every bit as good as one
with the red. But, what was done!--what
was won? Why, the first rev olntion de.
s,royed landlordism, and gave the soil OF
France, in small lots, to its own tillage
farmers, to have aud TO hold to them and
their heirs for ever. That was the FRS
revolution, sixty years ago. The second
in 1880, abolished the outrageous CLAIM
!. Of 'legitimacy,' and affirmed the right o
France to choose her own rulers in spi!'
of the Holy Allies and all the world
Aud the third has established the rights o
labor, and specifically its right to com
bine in order to secure to itself fair re
muneration, and Christian usage. Here
|, after, in France, the men who weave th
! cloth will get some of it to wear; thos

ImpoI tant Legal Decision.

Many traders and mechanics are in the
habit of making their original charges,
during the day, on slate and having them
at night or at some convenient opportun-
ity, transcribed on the day book. 1t is
very unsafe practice. A decision direct
" in point has been made in the Court Of
Common Pleas. We copy from the Bos
ton Advertiser; "In the case of Buckley
VS.. Plllsburg, the defendant offered TO
make oath to his books Of account, in
which it appeared that the entries were
made once week or ofener, BY his clerk
who transcribed them from a slate, on
which they were entered by the defend
ant himself; the clerk not being able to
testify to the items charged further than
they were correctly Transcribed. The
Court ruled the detendent could not be
permitted TO wear to the correctness oI
his books"
