THE NEW YORK HERALD says 1t appears that the
International Conference lately held in Paris in
favor of monetary unit for all nations have
agreed upon plan, and that the delegate from
the United States, Mr.. RUeeLEs, has forwarded to
the State Department report OF the proceedings.
Twenty nations of Europe and America were rep
resented. 1t is proposed that gold and silver,
except for change in small amounts, shall be e&-
clusively the money of the world; that the hve
franc gold piece Of France shall be the monetar!
unit with it's multpes; that it is to be based upon
and divided by decimals that all gold coins OF the
same denomination, by whatever nation issued,
must be uniform in weight diameter and quality,
and be tenths fine and this money IS to be q
legal tender in all nations. We have not the iu
report, but these are the principal features ol
the plan. The proposcd reform will be laid before
Congress, PROBABLY, next session. Now, while We
admit the inconvenience of the present system, OF
rather want Of system, among commercial na-
tions, and think that uniform one is desirable
this country should be careful about entering into
and bin ling itself to plan like this. It may be
many Years before We return to specie payments
and it s possible may Yet discover that gold L.
rot the best money or circulating medium. Look
ing at the wealth and wonderful future oi this re-
public, it is possible ieay establish, and it may
be to our interest to establish, entirely new sys
TEN of currency, and that We may emancipate
ourselves altogether from the old European sys
tenn. We think il would be prudent not 10 enter
INTO any alliances of the sort proposed at present
We certainly are not prepared to assent to tho
proposition thst only gold and silver shall be 6
legal tender il all nations.

Scenes a, the French Debtors' Prison

AT sundoWn. writes Paris correspondent the
keeper OF the prison for debtors at Chchy, pro-
claimed the joyful intelligence that the Dill was
law, and announced that the doors would be open
ed at one minute past midnight. Great was the
Jubilee OF the prisoners ; 80 great was their de-
light the absence Of the sex was not observed IN
the ball they eXtemporized. There were ninety
three insolvent debtors then i'll custody. Among
them was one American. He was unfortunate IN
business and lucky in marriage. He came hare
with his wife.
A French creditor discovered him and had him
arrested reckoning upon the wifes fears and atec-
ton to enable him to recover the Sit, ,0OO DUE Ihe
majority of men nowadays would roast their
mother if tn thought SIG, 600 would be their re-
ward for toas,ing her brown. Lopez only asked
three times as much for playing Judas lscar1ot.
Our country people declined to reward the French
mans boldness so munifcently, and the husband
went to Jail and boarded at the Frenchman's ex-
pense.
AS the clock pointed to one minute past mid
night all the prisoners whose families expected
them at homo quilted the prison, waking the whole
neighDcrhood with their glee. Twelve or fifteen
prisoners, who knew they were not expected, beg
ced permission to remain that night i'll jail. Be-
fore farewell hidden to those walls, the silent
and insensbe witnesses OF SO many tears and 80
many sorrow-fraught hearts, it became necessary
to dispose of the insolvent debtors property.
1t consisted OF 1900 volumes, all presentation
copies, and some Of them valuable books, as for
instance H. Martins History Of France, Michelet's
History of France, and the complete works OF La
MARITIME, Victor Hugo, Eugene Sue, Alex. Dumas,
Balzac, George Sand, &c.
Moreover, two billiard tables and their acces-
sories kitchen range, which cost S5OO, good
deal of kitchen furniture benches, chairs, various
games, good many yards OF pipes for water, two
bathing tubs and valuable collection OF flowers,
shrubs and trees The insolveIt debtors COM
mittee of management ordered all these objects to
be sold, and the proceeds paid to Prince Imperlars

CHINESE DWELLING HoUsEs.-In the article Oh
cheap living, by Dr. Cafe, published in the Jour
mai des ConndlSS0nces Medlcdies, We find some
curious facts concerning the way i'll which the
Chinese have solved that difficult problem. They
do not grow much WOOL and are, therefore, be-
hind lie lii that respect, but they replace 1t with
furs and stuifs they make of cotton, hemp, fax
and various other fblous roots. They have q
prodigious variety OF silks, which they adapt to
the different seasons, and are cheap enough to be
within the reach of the most needy. The cheap
ness Of f1rs in China strikes Europeans with as
tonishment. As regards dwellings,, they use
stone, brick wood or bamboo, according to the
provinces. 1t is true their houses have no te0O
| or upper story, but their ground floors, built on
an elevated platform, are very convenient. Most
large houses III China have a court, with south
cn exposure tor the women OF the family, and a
garden to the north. town entirely built Oh this
system, with vide streets ENJOYS much treer
circulation of air than our towns, with their lofty
houses and often very narrow streets.
There is a singular system Of ent-paying in
China, and which certainly does not appear to us
the most profitable The tenant, on taking pos
session of the house pays the proprietor capital,
large enough to cover the rent for three years.

time. In the way of food, the Chinese have
turned everything to account that can more
or less contribute to nourishment. They will fry

from their eyes bellies, forgetting their flushed
faces laughed like girls and every one looked
about him with an expression Of hilarious good
will, which it was impossible TO resist. My COM

his shouts and 1 soon became entirely reckless
of my personal appearance, bent only upon enjoy
