seem successful Tor a few years, but then co mes
a series OF events which give him contradiction

We may add tnat one cause in operation and
not sufficiently understood, is the affluence OF
gold combined with the narrowing of the field
on which 1t must be employed. In cons der
able portion OF Europe, and over neary the
whole OF America, paper money forms q oarrt
which does not allow the smallest stream OF
gold 10 penetrate. But 1t is in part TO this
affluence that we must attribute the numerous
and considerable accumulations OF deposits OF
bullion and coin in the Bank of France, and in
the great credit institutions OF more recent
date. In England also gold il beng heaLed up.

m. Rochsfort's "Lantsrns."
The suppressed edition of NJ. Rochefort's
newspaper, La LdnteTne, contained the follow
ing conments:-
NAPOLEON AS FARMER.-It is said that the
Emperor intends forming an agricultural
academy, in which he will take an active part.
] am very curious to know for what reasons.
In fact, ask the first corn thresher that you meet
what are the most essential members that aSrl-
culture ne Will Tell you
labor is waited. Now, if nothing is done TO
restore these to him it Is the nine years of con-
plcated service of twelve hundred thousand
men, by whose means the chief of the State has
now reconstructed the army. As Emperor,
Napoleon III has perhaps every right to enroll
twelve hundred thousand men. AS member OF
the Academy OF Agriculture he will probably
have some difficulty to make his colleagues
understand that The more the barracks are tiled
the better potatoes will be cultivated. 1 surely
think there is some incompatlbIlty between the
two trades. Napoleon III will find himself
Obliged 10 sacrifice one of them, and as a proof
vi my persplcacity think know which he will
not sacrl6ce.
Elasticity OF THE PRESS LAws.-Summoned
before the Correctional Police Court for having
delayed the insertion of the manuscript addressed
to me by the Minis er of the Interior, ASKED
the magistrates to indicate the measures should
take IN case that any employe, seized by dt of
so-called administrative weakness should think
BIT to send me the complete works of Alexander
Dumas with the order to insert them in the next
number. The Judges, who after all are but men,
appeared TO understand that the whole cannot
be smaller than part, that was quite in the
right, and that my demand was Just IN every
way. For this reason they condemned me to
fine OF so traDcs and costs.
PERFIDY OF THE PoLICE.-I do not hesitate to
Imply that am perfect idiot (imbecile). A
trap was laid for me- and I fell plump into it. l,
however, knew better than anybody the little
consideration shown by this Government in the
selection Of measures to be employed. Bat
SO badly; it must be ackno 1ledged that the
blow really succeeded. Actually two policemen
are commissioned to print that live ou the re-
sources OF lost woman. | not only do not
owe, but can hardly repress a strong desire
TO laugh. Then the two agents state that |
am really a BASTARD and that the name bear
never belonged to me. Same silence, fol-
lowed by shrug of the shoulders. Naturally
then the authority lost all patience and asked
how 1t was that the illuminated person,
on whose evaporation it counted, did not
give signs of existence The two agents then
made declaration, by the authority that gives
a paper ornamented with an eye in the middle
that have been condemned ior swndiing and
on two different indie meDts. I continued i'm
movable and watched the intrigued police with
a steady gaze. What is done then? MY mother
is dug up from her grave, my poor. dear mother,
who died never thinking that in haired to her
son her memory would be contaminated by
dPllrious drunkards under the manifest protec-
ton OF the authorities.
The FNPREss AS PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL
OF MINIsTERs.-Her Majesty the Empress OF the
French presided yesterday at the Council OF
Ministers. What would not be my surprise If
we're 10 learn that Madame Pereire had presided
at the administrative council of the Credit
Mobiher!
