as the scheme was derisvely termed-the most
ruinous speculation Of modern times-a char
tered French banking monopoly, with whose
history, no doubt, Gen. jackson was familiar
by whose profits the national debt Of France
was to have been speedily paid off, and whose
shares rose, at one time, to upwards of 20 fold
their par value, exceeding, in l7l9, by more
than so times, the entire amount of all the
specie then in France. This was the year be-

tocracy of France.
In 1871, this Co. conveyed all their interests
in the Colony to the Crown of France, which
power held it for 81 years, and then ceded the
same Spain in 1862.
Twenty-eight years after this, or in 1900,
this territory was re-ceded to France, and three

Fen from the day-break, iii the nights dun curtain
Spreads DER the West
Dreaming 90, with swift steps but uncertain,
On TO the unknown rest
Because life's road is dusty and Uneven,
And weary is the way,
Ever before there CLEANS some mirage haven,
Where Hope her iii .ht may stay.
Dat from the bright clouds that are earhward STOPPING
Rise the fair castle walls;
see Peace's white flag from lis iurrets dropping
/ see It's open halls
almost hear the winds low whispering voices,
Bending the grsen-leaved trees;
Or where the fountain in the sun reJoices,
Hear the birds melodies.
But some rough-world jar breaks upon my dreaming,
Like harsh bell morn
turn again where lis walls were cleaning,
And, signing, find ii gone.
Then others rise, in some Eastern story,
And forward far OF lay;
But all alas tinged with an ear,h-bon glory,
And soon 10 pats away.
AT the roads end the view that meets my vision,
With awe my spirit fills;
see dark death-ciouds covering latds clysian,
And adamanune hills
And wandering, dreamy idle and hnthinking,
Unheeding where go,
look al the mountain SUBMITS, and see, shrinkr:
The dark clouds dsrker grow. .
But turning earnest TO the llfe-p ah dreary,
And smoothing down the way
For poor tried one, following SAD and weary,
And putting dreams away.
Then DER the eternal hills the Ii ght seems dawnng,
Through the dull, cloudy screen,
Telling young dreamers that now, in their morning,
Life is 10 act, NOT dream.

| The House discussed the bill giving each
