An officer in the French army finds it
no very simple matter to get married. He
has first to make formal request of his
colonel for permission. lie certifies to the
condition in life and the moral standing of
the bride elect. The colonel sends the
'iemand to the general commanding the
department, who sends it to the general
commanding the division. If the bride
lives in another district, he writes to his
fellow officer of the division in which she
does live. The demand then descends the
scale from the division general to the
brigadier, who writes to conmdnddnt de
place, who consults commissioner of
police and mayer then the mayor and
commissioner reply to the commandment de
place, who replies to the general of the
division, who sends his answer to his
confrere. The demand then goes to a
marshal, and if he does not exact any
further information, he proposes to the
minister of war to ratify the permission.
Coming from the hands of the postman,
he packet is unsealed by a clerk, who
adds a stamp; subordinate reads it, sends
It to another clerk. who puts a number
above, and records the number on ano Their
sheet Of paper, with an analysis Of the
.ffair. This sheet is then signed by the
chief and the sub-chief, then goes to a
director, who sends it to the chef de bureau
he gives it to his deputies, then an orderly
clerk reinscribes the number of the packet,
registers it, and sends it to another, who
makes report of the analysis. The three
members OF this last bureau then record
the whole the chief then signs it, submits
it to the director, who submits it to the
Minister, who accepts or refuses. If the
bride and groom are still living when the
arrangements are concluded, and think it
worth while to get married for what little
time they have to live, the marriage is
consummated.

The QUESTION OF TAxATIoN.-Thc
MuscatiMe Journal has a financial genius
at its helm. This prodigy Of financial
wisdom, radical, Of course, has several
conundrums, two Of which we copy as
specimens
LIST. Do you know or have you read
anywhere Of a government taxing the evil
dences Of its own Indebtedness?
md. "The right SO to tax, if it existed
at all, is unlimited. The government can
as well tax them 80 per cent. as per
cent?
To the first we answer, yes. Before the
war the government laid tax upon and
collected it from "the evidences OF its own
Indebtedness" An affirmative answer is
due to the second problem of the Journal.
The government does tax its bonds now,
five per cent, and collects it, but this tax
is in the shape Of an income tax, tax
upon the interest alone, which being a
part of the bonds we conceive to be tax
upon the bonds. The case is made out,
we trust, to the entire satisfaction of the
financial noodle of the Muscatine Journal.

Are You Out of Debt.

Well keep out, say the Iowa Home
stead to tho young farmer. Do not per-
NIT yourself to go in debt for ANYTHING
Your actual wants and necessities are few.
and by keeping out of debt they remain so.
You are ''master of the situation" and
have the pleasant satisfaction of KNOWING
that you have a dollar in your nockef
and that morally as well as legally Il ;s
your own but by going in debt YOUR work
becomes . speculative article of common.
dity-your wants artificial, your selfre.
spect lowered, aud you are not "master
Of the Situation"
1t is an easy matter this getting in
debt for time all goes smoothly and
pleasantly, but when pay day comes, and
the wherewith is not at hand, the rela
tive position between debtor and creditor
is reversed. and the former is at the mer
cy of the latter; he is no longer free man
but slave to 60 and come at his credi
tors bidding, WHO holds, as it we're, ,
sword suspended by hair which is H.
able to fall at any moment. Instead of
"Ah good morning, Mr., this is :
beautiful day, what can I sell you it is
Mr.. -, want my money"
Do not 90 in debt, because your wheat
or corn crop looks very promising, or the
prospect is good for high prices wher
your beef, pork, wool, &c, is ready 70
sale but wait until those articles are sold
even though the want at that time shoult
become very pressing. By doing so yol
accomplish two objects. You keep our o
debt aud are enabled, by having tn
money in your hand, to save from ten t
fifteen per cent on your purchases.

whole human family. The subject re
solved itself into cur duty to our fellow
