|cu1ar aud Chemical Gazette, under tie head OF
"Notes and Queries" gives ,its opinions or ''the
practice Of doctors exacling perreltage from
the druggist for their recipes, anu also OF the
druggist who would allow such sviplle to be
pcrpetrated on the customer ain such cases ~
1t says, "neithcr the doctor nor the druggist is
any better thanfhe should be. We Lave no good
opinion OF dishonesty, aud We don't believe we
shall ever think that robbery is just II the doc
tor arranges with the druggist 1.r q share OF
profits on prescriptions, he knows well that he
must levy from some one an ureerned contribu-
tion, and as the druggist expects to live by Ills
busfness he Carries clandestineiy the levy to the
pocket OF the doctors patient. In short the doc
tor uses the apothecary to extort money, to Which
he.is no more entitled than the leoirad Is entitled
to the purse TO which he has unceremoniously
helped himself from the pocket of the wayfarer.'
The Cologne Gazette in commenting upon
the influence exercised upon the Emperor Napo-
leon III, by Lord Clarendon, the English Minister
for Foreign Affairs, contends thet his advice was
the moving cause OF the changes recently made
in the Constitution OF France. The Gazette
asserts that Lord Clarendon, finding that recent
events had prepared the French Cabinet for
peaceful policy, made the best use Of the golden
opportunity, and showed the Emperor that mo-
derate reform would depriyes{ opposition OF its
sharpest weapons, and help to secure his dynasty.
In foreign atfairs Lord Clarendon recommended
non-lnteryention in German mathis, and that
every step which might hurt the pride OF Prus-
sia should be avoided. 1t is, assert that CIar-
endon has never used his lnfiues e to impede
the reconstruction OF Germany, notwithstanding
the general belief that his laan;ng towards Aus.
tria and bis friendship with. Napoleon would rem
der the relations OF Prussia and England less cor
dial than they had been during the adminIstra.
ton Of his predecessor, Lord Stanley;
Complete tranquility, II is oricialIy announc-
ed, now prevails over the entire peninsula Of
Spain. The capture OF Valencia, IT L., asserted,
put . zdnishiDg stroke to the siorY of sthe
reyolutionists, and the city is now quiet, mon.
archists and republicans going freely and quietly
about the streets examining the destruction
caused by their dissensIons. The force accumu.
lated for the capture Of Valencia, where the In
surgents amounted to about 10000 ill-trained
men, was out Of all proportion to the resistance
expected. The Spanish army consisted OF thirty
battallons OF infantry, two thousand cavalry,
fftJ-six field guns, besides heavy siege train.
Resistance was, therefore, useless, and the policy
OF crushing ont the revolution at once, though at
a heavy expense, was less Injurious than q pro-
tracted conflict. Bexar, where republic had
been proclaimed, held out for short time after
Valencia fell; but as soon as news OF the ap-
proach OF the regular army was received, the in.
surgents abandoned the town. One or two petty
encounters with the remains OF the insurgent ar.
mics followed, but resulted In their defeat and
dispersion.
WA European letter writer says OF American
girls In Europe: ~ do not wish to undervalue
English beauty, which is most satisfactory and
enduring, and most OF which will wash. But
confess that American beauty, from New York to
New Orleans, has spoiled my eyes for any other.

Here they admire and envy them-that Is, the

talks with every one she cares to talk With, says

orders him about just-just as she would do at
