SUPPOSED FRAGMENTS OF THE ILL-FArEl
Srn,Msu,p PRESIDENT Bantlshire
(Scotch) Journal, gives the following de-
scriptions of pieces of the wreck of a large
vessel supposed to be the President washed
ashore on the coast of Scotland. "The
wreck" says that Journal, "seems to have
formed part of large steam vessel, and
from its appearance it has been long time
in the water. The piece got on shore is a
bout twenty-five feet square, and contains
II timbers. These timbers measure 1.-THE
Aoor-heads 13inches by 10 inches There
are three pieces of largehanging iron knees,
two of which are 7 feet in length, the other
feet; and two iron beds supposed to be for
the boilers, each bed lS feet long, the knees
at the thickest part being four inches
by two inches. On one of the beds
the initials al. W." are stamped. The floor
heads are bolted with iron bolts, and the
butt-ends with composition balls, above 8
inches. The wreck has been inspected by
seamen and shipbuilders, whounite in declar-
ing it to be the wreck of some large steamer
this fact is said to be ascertOined almost
beyond doubt, In these circumstances it
has been suggested that the wreck now ~
ing on our coast may possibly be portion OF
the ill-fated British steamer President"

FRANCE AND THE TREATY OF VIENNA
Lord Stanly announced in the British House
Of Commons, lately, as fact of some i'm
portance, that France was a party to the
protest of the great Powers of Europe in re-
lation to the claim which Prussia had to cer-
tain rights over Neufchatel, as recognized
by the treaty of 1915; and that this was the
first public act by which France, under her
present ruler, had in any way acknowledged
the hescttlement of Europe, as agreed TO in
1915.

1t is debateable question whether a lady
or gentleman should spoak first, cnimeet-
ing; but no one huying the slightest preten-
sion to common intelligence would, for a
moment doubt, that in a case where an inn
patient tcrodhorand delinquent debtor chnnc-
cd to meet, the former would Ht once open
proceedings by pressing for that little bill,
while the ldtter's only hope Of salvation
would be in sudden retreat down the nearest
allcy-way. Perhaps, touching the first pro-
POSITIONS great deal will depend ON who the
lady is; if her bGautious form is cnveoped
within the aristocratic folds of a hundred
dollar shawl, and the stamp Of upper tendon
sticks cut "fe6t" in the sweeping majesty
of her walk along the street, the gentleman
should suffer her to indulgein all those little
naughty whms so pleasing in members of
''distinguished" society, but 80 unbearable
under the vuigarity Of cotton hood and ten
cent calico dress. If, however, the lady is
merely common washerwom0n or anything
of that low sort, the gentleman may safely
curl up his nose with dignifed contempt
(even though he owes her bill for his last
weeks linen,) and tell her TO goto the devil,
if she SO far forget5 her humble station, as
to importuno for immediatepay.
Respecting the precise amount of rever-
ence a gentleman ought to evince in his
obesance, twill, of course in great meas
ure, also depend on the lady's claims to o
stand in circle polite. ltshc is merely Mrs.
