Holland il said to be negotiating for the sale
OF its colony Of Dutch Guiana to England, but
England holds of on account Of the high price.
This colony 10 constant loss to the Dutch
treasury, and 10 in the market for purchaser.
Efforts win next it 10 thought, be made by the
Dutch to pelt their West Indian colonies, which
are also . source Of pecunisry loss. Negotia-
tions have recently been reopened between
Switzerland and Holland in regard to COM

il understood, have now taken the necessary
measures to place Dutch Jews living in
Switzerland on the same footing as Christians.
We have had q good deal Of gossip about
the relations between the Emperor Of France
and the Gar during the visit of the latter to
Paris; but the correspondent Of the Springfield
Repu5lieaa is the first to mention the fact that
the two msgnstes were scarcely on speaking
terms during the Cars visit, and that the En-
press EuaHsn was compelled to interfere on
one or two occasions to preserve the peace.
Although the two potsntates were frequently
seen together in public, the want Of cordiality
in their intercourse was very apparent, and
Was noticed BY great many people. It is said
that the expense Of receiving the crowd Of
Kings in Paris has caused considerable growl-
ing among that portion Of the French people
who pay taxes.
The International Coinage Congress, in ses-
sion In Paris, has adopted the gold i've franc
piece and its multiples as the basis Of uniform
currency among nations, The United States
was represented in the Congress, and, If our
so,ernmeat endorse the proposed system, there
will be national change in our coinage, if we
shall ever be fortunate enough to reach hard
monsztimes. The proposed standard Of coin
use-shs francis equal in value to about nine.
teen and ons-fifth cents. A FIVE franc piece ii
-aceordingly worth four cents less than ar
American dollar, which is our present standard
of coinage. Uadsr the proposed plan, our pre-
sent half dollar would be represented by 8 piece
worth forty y-eight cents; the quarter would bf
worth twenty-four cents, etc. The change
therefore,, would be slight, bat 1t would, never
thslss, create some confusion at hrst.

rights, the laws Of property, &c. The signs
Of increasing social disorganization manifested
in the prevalence Of the worst forms Of
atrocity-lust, murder and rapine-oannot be
regarded with entire composure. The final
destiny Of the black race now in America pre-
sents problem, of which, at this early day,
no definite solution is offered.
l. The FOLLOWING FIGURES are from the last
Prussian census, taken in 1864: There were,
at that time, in round numbers, Is, ,250, 900 in
habitants, or 10000 more than in 1861. Of
these II, ,7O0, 900 were Protestants (being 1885,
600 more than in 1861, and 100000 Catho-
lies (being an increase of 294,OOO); in other
words, the increase among Protestants was 1888
per cent, and among Catholics AS per cent.
In the year 1864 there were 479,OOO births
among the Professionals, while there were 3O2,-
500 among Catholics, in spite of there being
67O6 priests devoted to celibacy, and $3.50 re-
ligious Of both sexes. Further, out Of the
600 births among Protestants, Al, ,9G0 were
illegitimate, while Of the 3O2, 500 births among
Catholics, only 1850 were illegitimate. This
great difference is maintained thus through the
different provinces. Thus the proportion Of
illegitimate births in Brsndenburg was 1905
per cent among Protestants and $40 among
Catholics; Sohleswig, 1896 against 1907; Po-
merania, 1896 against 9.sl; sa1ony, 1896
against COS; Prussia, 9.67 against 7.45, and SO
ON. The next census will probably give 25,-
OOO, 900, even if there is no further annexation
beyond what the Schleswig Holstein war, and
the war with Austria and her allies last year
brought her.
MRS FERRY, In her book on Naples and
Sicily, under King BoMBA, tells the following
amusing story of the verdict Of an Inspector on
9 set of Warerly Novels "They were consign-
ed to gentleman who was an admirer Of Eng
lish literature, and when the name Of the book
and the author were read out for the informa-
tion Of the inspector, who sat at high desk,
and did not look at the volumes himself, he i'm
mediately declared that the work was prohibi-
ted. The clerk, who read the name WALTER
scorT, pronounced it, as any Italian would do,
VoLTA1R ScoTT. This, sir, is VoLTA1RE Scott

Poetry.
If YOU WANT 4 KISS, TAKE IT. !

There's jolly Saxon proserh,
That is pretty much like this,
That man is half in Heaven
When he has woman kiss.
But there's danger in delaying,
And the sweetness may forsake it;
So tell you, bashful lover,
Ifyoa want q kiss, why take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you in this:
Never let a laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss.
There's a royal way Of kissing,
And the jolly ones who make it IA
Have a motto that is winning,
If you want kiss, why take it.
.&ny fool may face cannon
anybody wear q Crown
But man must win woman,
If he'd have her for his own.
Would you have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake it;
If the thing is worth the having,
And you want kiss, why take it.
Who would burn upon desert,
With forest smiling by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For a bleak and wintry SKY?
Oh tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is to want kiss and-take it.

THE HEART HATH 4 WORLD on
IT'S OWN

Though the sapphire skies be studied;
Though the night be crowned with the moon; /;
II the soul be changed to December,
What boots it to speak OF June
Doth the mouth command the summer?
Can word bring warmth at will
Add heat to the flickering 1rehghtY
For my lady heart is chill
Can the songs that reposing nature
Goftly repeats in her dreams:
The nightngale's lay in The thicket,
And the tinkling flow Of the stream;
The manifold voice of the ocean,
When his ripplea are loud as his roar,
whilst with this he washes the headland,
And with those he kisses the shore;
Can the rest of the signing breezes,
As thew breathe their sweet last in the
or lulI on the calm-lying nOorlands,
The scented sleep of the flowers
Gan the spirit of beauty that mirrors
The sprite-like stars in the seas
Can the mystical silence of Heaven,
Or the hush of the world, bring peace
They may, if the heart be quiet;
They may, If the soul be at rest;
If not they are lightning and thunder,
And tempest and turmoil unblest.
Let these wage their uttermOst riot;
SO the heart with its thoughts be at one,
III
For the heart hath a world of its own.
Is there peace in the heart of my lady
Is there peace in the words we may trace
As we peer O'er the ivory shoulder,
Or read off the eloquent face !?
Alas that so radiant beauty
Should be bound to grave concern;
That the flush that was meant for affection
To the shadow of shame should turn!
Yet she reads not line of upbraiding,
Though she hath misused her might;
And, where she meant but to trile,
Hath crushed, in her own despite.
All fairest of ladies' take comfort,
Though the phrase be measured and strange,
He, loving thee once, loves forever;
Loves ever, and knows not change.
Yet cannot he love the unlovely;
And his words must be fettered and cold
Till thou hast recovered thy nature,
And frankly hast smiled as of old:
For the outraged heart must shelter,
And the wounded and yea rning soul
Must hide even tropical passion
Meath the outer ice of the pole.

RecOnstructlon of Politics.

From the Citizen.
The Independent is already breaking groxnd
on the question of "the next Presidency" 1t
avoids the advocacy of any individual, though
it squiAts strongly towards Ben. Wade, whom
1t styles ''One of the grandest of our public
men" The Substance of the article is
vigorous protest against the adoption by the
Republican party of General Grant as its can
didate. Sin Gods name, cries Tilton, ''let
as have great man for President" /" to which
pious adjuration we say Amen with all our
heart.
The question of the Presidency is one that
1t is well to consider betimes. Open discussion
is the best means of squelching the plots of

not only Luxembourg but other coveted
regions secured to France-how resplendently
would French arms have shone before the
world, and how grandly would French power
have loomed above the clouds which have of
late threatened to obscure it Such considera-
tions as these are working deeply in the French
mind, and it will necessarily take some time
for them to pass away.
If Napoleon does not desire to obliterate
such feelings Immediately and altogether, he
certainly wishes to repress them for the time
being. He has one agency at hand, so far as
Paris is concerned, in the Exposition, but he
has far larger and more powerful means in
the forthcoming grand visit of sovereigns to
the French capital. He is already amusing
the people with Belgian and Portuguese Kings
and Queens, and with British, Swedish, and
Japanese Princes. But when the monarchs of
Russia, Prussia, Austria, Italy, and possibly
England, shall assemble in Paris, it will not
be difficult to make such use of the great
event, and perhaps to work out such results
from it, as.will not only affect the current of
French feeling for the moment, but give it a
new channel in which it can run for at least
another year.
