The Historical Seven.

A Northern paper, Of q late date, reminds us oi
the curious fact, TINT almost every decade in the
history Of this country, ending with the figure
seven, has marked the beginning of financial
crash or severe depression. It says:
Historic fatalism, il not actual signs Of the
times, incline many to the belief that 1867 is to be
memorable by financial troubles. With 1797 came
the crash that wiped out the Continental
currency, and in 1907 our troubles with France
and prospective war with England, threw
the business Of the country into confusion,
while in 1917 we got the legacy Of the war OF
1924 with England, which was tremendous
financial revulsion. That Of 1927 was less Sc
we're, but ten years later, it came in good
earnest-the smash OF all previous smashes, in
which the whole banking system and business of
the country went down, not to rise for nearly five
wears. If for nothing else, Gen. Jackson and his
successor will be remembered for their reckless.
ness in smashing up the currency to crafty per-
sonal and political spite. King Hudson reigned
over the English railroad speculations OF 1847 and
famine stalked over Europe, and especially in Ire
land spreading suffering and causing widespread
futures A purely commercial snap emphasized
1857, caused BY initiation and oyertrading.
But the crash of 1857, if one is inevitable which
upon Ossa, indeed.. The chasm is too deep and
dark to think of, much less to look into. Let us
hope the rather, that by rigid economy among con-
suiners, the present heavy balance against us on
the years foreign trade maf be made up that
favoring skies will bring us abundant crops, and
the hands Of producers be multiplied rapidly all
over the land 80 that tho present heavy burden OF
taxation can be borne; that Congross will be sue
cessful in so adjusting the currency and imposts,
that the year 1867 may be securely tded over, and
our domestic comfort md foreign obligations be
securely and honorably provided for.

The French Exposition.

Lord DERBY, in an after-dinner speech, published
in The News few weeks ago alluding to the
Paris Exposition of 1867 joculnrly remarked that
nm invasion is on foot against the French Capital
but contrary to tho usual custom, in this instance
the invaded will levy the invaders for the costs OF
the expedition. La Pat'ie, a journal published IN
Paris, takes umbrage at this jea Gespra, and says
that Lord DERBY, in saying this, doubtless had IN
his mind the unchristian oxactions made by the
people OF London during the great Exhibition Of
1851. 1t then goes on to say, at some length and
with considerable apparent resentment, that the
Parisians would be actuated by different spirit,
and that no such forced contributions are to DO
apprehendod on the part Of the foreign visitors.
We suspect, however, that the remarks OF La
Pa:aie are intended more for the benefit OF the
Parisians than as o rebuke to Lord DERBY. Under
the guise Of o protest, it lectures them, showing
what is expected OF them, and what is to their true

COOP JOKE ON BENNETT.-The New York cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier, alluding to
the recent yacht race, says:
I may as well tell you little incident. It was
naturally supposed, as young Bennett was one Of
the most interested parties in it, the New York
HeraId ,sould be the first to receive news of the
arrival Of the Henrietta, provided she reached
Cowes first. Well, she did, but the first the Herald
knew of IT was dispatch sent to it by the cour-
teay Of Mr. Craig Of ts United t States and Euro
Associated Press as 1t docs every day both in the
quantity and quality of it's news and the prompt
ness with which it is transmitted. The Herald ia

prussfon Prize Money.

WILLIAM, by the grace of God, King Of Prussia,
on the 18th OF November last, decreed that, with
the consent of the two Chambers Of the Diet, the
sum of one million and a half of thalers, to be de-
fraycd from the contributions from the several
conquered territories, shall be donated to the
chiefs Of the Prussian army, who have contributed
to any remarkable degree to tho brilliant results
of the late war The Nord De,tsche Zeatung says
that public opinion generally approved of this
edict. The French press is very severe on this
modern money reward for valor, and denounces it
az direct incitement to plunder. They say that
when NAPOLEON parcelled out The kingdoms OF
Europe among his generals and the members OF
his family, it proved more source Of weakness
than of strength to him.

whilst the matter was under consideration In the
House to-day does not amount 10 anything more

the resolution did SO to get it out Of the way or
