COnscripti0n In France.

A remarkable document has been recently
published in France, which brings out viv-
idly the difficulties attending the 'conscrip-
ton in that country. To keep the army up
TO the Emperor's mark, nearly the whole Of
the able bodied youth are obliged to serve,
and hence the unpopulsrity Of the scheme
lately mooted by the Government to make
the regulations more stringent. In 1864 the
number Of young men drawn for and liable
to serve as recruits amounted to 10000 |;
but of this number 100000, or more than a
third, were rejected by the medical cIamin-
ers. Some were below the standard height
some had weakly constitutions or were con-
sumptive, some were mutilated from birth,
some were deaf or blind, some had Insult
cient teeth, and 963 stammered in their
speech. The rejected were afflicted, in some
form or other, with almost every imaginable
disease Flat feet are disqualification -
That third of the young men of France
should thus be disqualified for military SER
vice, does not impress one fayorably with the
standard of health there.

man.

The evil Of having drunken workman
was fcrcibly illustrated BY the explosion in
the coal-pit near Richmond, Va, by which
some seseniy lives were lost. The Rich
mond Enquirer, In noticing the disaster
says p fAtPA
What was the cause Of the disaster must
ever remain an iinpenetrabIe secret, for the
lips of all who might have explained the
mystery are closed by the death which spar
ed none 10 tell the tale. 1t Is supposed,
however, to have been caused by the neg
lect Of drunken gasman to discharge the
duties Of his office, which are to examine,
with one of Davy's safety-lamps, the con !.
dition of the air, aud attend to the proper
ventilation Of the pits, this ventilation being
kept by means of doors opening into var-
GUS portions Of the pits, the publication Of
the air in this mine being additionally Y secur-
ed by a powerful wind-ian driven by the

HOAXED INTO A FORTUNE

" There is tide in the sffairs Of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to for
tune.'
Every body was speculating, coal stocks
copper stocks, oil wells, machines, enter.
prises and schemes were brilliant and pros
porous.
The stock list in the newspapers was col.
umn in length. Men "who wentin" with
one thousand margin" for a flyer, came
out with twenty thousand, span Of horses
and a directorship, in four or five companies
in fortnight Who does not remember the
lively days OF 1868 and '642
1t was about these days as the Almanacs
say, that three young men regularly read the
city papers, and visited the metropolis two
or three times a week, sat together in q
neighboring town railing at fate.
"One can do nothing without money

ton of which would do honor TO Spencer, oil

ious to contribute to the chorus of laments

dollars year he could get more clerks than
he wanted" ..r..
"Now Just look at Jack Hasede one OF the
greenest fellows in this place, who went te
Boston last fall; he's speculated somehow o
other in oil or coppers, and came riding
into town yesterday with sparkling pair .
grays. They say he has made ten thonsanc
dollars. He must have done it on credit, fo
he never had any cash beyond his salary o
$500 year

Not long since, an American artist wrote
to Mr. Ruskin for advice upon the subject Of
art. The eminent English critic, undoubt-
edly the first in the world, replied In letter
that contained more truth than wns wanted
in Northern latitu les. The barharous man.
ner in which the people Of the North, he
wrote, had conducted tho war upon the
Southern people aud their patriarchal insti-
tutions, hal utterly destroyed his interest In
American art. True art, In f,ct, could moi
flourish among people 80 deprayedi and be,
therefore, advised his friend 10 abandon all
efforts to tread the true path in art, and con
fine himself TO PAINTING such pictures as we .
suited TO the degraded taste OF tne Northern
Americans. Paiscah Herald
