French Claims-Arrival Of . War Vessel ae

able Condition of the Fin snces.
The Fderalsa OF Cardcas In speaking Of the French
claims against the OF Venezuela states thas
their payment falls due February OF this year. and
notes strange coincidence the arrival In Laguayra OF
the French man-of-war D'Estaing. "Whether this ar.
rival be by chance.n II adds otherwise We cannot
say. Those who well informed the subject OF our
relations with France and know how this unfortunate
country is officially treated by the French Minister and
the spirit that ates him under present
and in sight of the disasters of all kinds threaten
the republic may be able to conjecture The fact that
on the Sd OF February Venezuela has TO pay
S15OoOO to the order Of the French legation
This is impossible the part Of our government,
which has no credit, and whose specie resources
duced to the derived from two custom houses
that have struggle against smugglers and the decline
of trade scarcely suffice to cover the military budget
Although this should and might have been lessened,
has not been. The government which owes almost q
years salary to its employees, which has not for six
months settled the accounts Of the widows and orphans
of The heroes of independence becomes worse than des-
perate entaon of claim or at the sight OF
any creditor Without doubt this state OF affairs has been
fully appreciated by France and hence the presence of
this war vessel IN the chief port Of our republic.
Some parties think that the French government will make
no trouble granting extension Of time Others think
that the clause OF the agreement which cedes certain
proportion OF receipts and also Of the inter-
nal revenue will be put in force.

Tales and novels predominant among the
later issues of the various publishing houses.
The public taste Graves stories, and consequent
ly the novel is the form in which literary effort
is most encouraged to manifest itself We
cannot say that the recent results of such eff
fort are particularly satisfactory. In too many
cases they offer us but poor pennyworth of
bread to an intolerable deal of some kind OF
mental pabulum much less wholesome and
agreeable. The "great American novelist" OF
whom we have heard so much, still delays his
advent But en- attendant, we must not be urf-
grateful for the present good the gods provide.
Of the many books which crowd our table
we have time at present for little more than
casual mention. We may refer to some of
them more at length at future time.
From Ticknor & Fields we have Opportunity,
a novel by Miss Anne Moncure Crane, whose
story of Emily Chester attracted such general
attention two or three years ago. In novelty
in vividness and power the present work is
scarcely equal to the authors former effort; (;
but it is superior to it in that it recognizes the
obligations of duty and of magnanimity as
binding even those who have been so unfortu-
nate as to miss their affinity" Emils Chester
was very far from being an impure book, =
there is not taint of coarseness in it-but it
was an immoral one in that it represented self
qualification as the first essential of earthly
happiness. Its heroine is the most inexcusa-
bly, selfish creature over whose early oea.h
sentimental schoolgirls ever shed tears. IN
Opportunity the author has souhueu " .s nei
