The N. Y. Courier d Enquirer says that the
agent of the Washington Monument Association
has in ten months hard labor in the ten lower
wards of that city, and part of Brooklyn, been
able to collect only $3,562, IS. The amount
collected in Wall street was but 1898; in Broad
way but 1920. The Courier thinks the sum to-
tai is very small, and is sorry to see that so little
lberaity for such an object is to be found o.
mong the inhabitants of the wealthiest city of
our Union.

FRANCE AND WAR.--lt seems now to be gen.
orally conceded, that if France wages war against
any nation just at present, it will be with Swift
zerland, for harboring refugees from her "polit-
ical justice" or against Belgium, in order to
overthrow the lion of Waterloo; or, as is more
probable, to secure payment of some $S,000,0OO
which she claims for services rendered at the
siege of Antwerp, and for assistance furnished
during the revolution, which ended in severing
Belgium from Holland, some twenty years ago.
BY some persons however, it is believed that
France is not anxious to wage war at all. The
argument on the point is this:--Her present ma
tional debt is a thousand millions Of dollars and
the annual excess of expenditure over income,
during the last four years, has been upwards OF
| $3O,OOO,OO0 annually, or about $l25,000,000l

that country on registered mortgages to amount
to the enormous aggregate of five hundred and
sixty millions of pounds sterling, of which four
hundred millions were on land.
Now, war of course demands revenue and re-
venue can only result from taxation in some
form, and France is already overtaxed. Again
the proprietors of government stock and the
mortgages will favor whatever government ex
lists and is sufficiently powerful to secure thu
peaceful enjoyment of their capital thus invest
ed. But they will not favor n government, how
ever strong which precipitates war, on any pre-
text whatever, in as much as their case woult
then be as bad almost as if anarchy prevailed
and money in these days is power. Possibly
therefore, the immense private and public deb
which at'present burthens France, may for a TIM
keep steady her barque of state.

A great law suit is now before the Supreme
Court of Louisiana. The case is entitled Mrs.

was up on the 9th ult., for argument on appeal
The late Isaac Franklin died in April, 1916, leav-
ing property in Tennessee to the amount of
SiO3,O00, and in Louisiana to the amount of
$5ls,l63 IS, besides property in other States.
Under his will, Mrs. FrankIin'received 81 10000,

Since our last weeks issue, Grand River has
been rapidly returning to its accustomed bounds
and an examination of the various localities
about the city where damage from the flood
was most seriously apprehended, discloses far
less injury than was expected. The outside ca
nal bank above the locks has been partly car
ried away; in other places the banks are left,
with unimportant exceptions, nearly as good as
new The bridge has not been injured at all,
although the street above the bridge was render
ed temporarily impossible by logs and rubbish,
which foated in during high water Other
parts of the street were also obstructed in the
same way. somewhat serious break has been
made around the west end of the dam, but it is
presumed upon the abatement Of the water, it
can be repaired without any very great Difficult
| ty. Some injury has of course been done in
stores, dwellings, shops, and manufactures, in
to which the water flowed but we have heard
it remarked that the whole damage in this city
will not amount to as many hundred dollars, as
it was expected to amount to thousands, when
the water was highest. The ends of the bridg-
es in Ada, across the Thornappe and Grand
River, have been carried away, but none of the
main bridges have been seriously injured
Small bridges have been carried away in sever
al of the towns, but we have been unable to
obtain detailed statement Of the amount OF
damages thus occasioned. Upon the whole the
city and county has escaped from the food in Q
very surprising manner. Grand Rapids Eng.

DONE Brown George Downing, who is known
to our readers as the great oysterman, and who al
ways keeps his weather eye open for squalls, wrtos
letter to one Of the local newspapers at Newport
to say that he is not the author Of the oorrespon
dence that appeared in the HERALD from that cold
water city week ago. Surely no person, except
an IDIOT could have suspected Mr. Downing of writ
ing these letters. We are not aware that anybody
did But the oysterman Is shrewd fellow, and he
adopts this mode Of getting first rate advertise
ment inserted gratnitousy, thus doing the silly
editor of The Newport paper as brown as one OF
Downing's own savory woodcscks, or his saratosa
