Peeuliarities of Handwriting.

1t is a remarkable fact that no man
can get rid of the style of handwriting
| peculiar to his country. If he Ne
English he always writes in English
style; if Frenrh, in French style; if
German, italian, or Spanish, in the
style peculiar to his nation. 81 am
acquainted, says a correspondent,
with a Frenchman who speaks En-
glish like one of cur own countrymen,
and writes it with ten times the
correctness of ninety-nine in a hun
dred of us, but yet who cannot, for
the life of him, initiate our modes
of writing. IknOw a SeOtehman who
was educated entirely in France, and
who resided eighteen years in that
country, mixing exclusively with
French people, but who, although he
had a French writing master, and
probably never saw anything but
French writing in his life, yet wrote
exactly in the English style; it was
really national instinct In Paris,
all the writing masters profess to
teach the English style of writing :;
but with all of their professions and
all their exertiOns, they can never
get their pupils to adopt any but the
cramped hand of the French. Some
pretend to be able to tell the eharac-
teristies of individuals by their hand
writings. know not how this may
be; but certainly the nation to which
an individual belongs can be instantly
determined by his hand writing. The
difference between the American or
English and the French hand writing
IS immense-a school boy would
distinguish it at a glance. Mix to-
gethera hundred sheets of manuscript
written by a hundred Frenchmen,
and another hundred written by
Englishmen or Americans, and no
one could help but distinguish every
one of them, though all should be
written in the same language, and
with the same pens and paper. The
difference between italian, Spanish
and German handwriting is equally
decided. In fact there is about as
great a difference in the handwritings
of different nations as in their Ian
guages. And it is n singular fact
that, though a man may shake off
national habits, accent, manner of
thinking, style of dress-thOugh he
may become perfectly identified with
another nation, and speak in language
as well, perhaps better than his own
yet never can he succeed in chang
ing his hand writing to a foreign
style.

: which it is thought can be cut of
! from the estimates of the total expen-
ditures for the year ending June 80,
1870, of S303, 100000, as submitted by
| the Secretary of the Treasury. That
will leave for the total expenditures
| for the fiscal year ending June, 80,
/ 1870, S2SS, 900, 900. Add to that 3, 600
900 more, for various other eXpendi-
lures, and we have q total of $3.50, 600
900. 1t is my belief that the eXpendi-
lures can be kept down to that point,
and that the Government can be ad-
ministered for that sum; and If that
can be done, as it ought TO be done, a
good showing can be made. l have
made no estimate in relation to the
revenue for the next fiscal year, but
for the present fiscal year, it appears
from the Secretary's report that the
actual revenues received for the first
quarter amount to S95 900, ,392, and
the Secretary estimates the next three
fourths at S246, 900, 900, making the to-
tai estimate of the Secretary S34l ,000,-
600. But Mr.. Wells, Special Commits
sloner of the Revenue, who has given
this matter great attention, estimates
that it will reach S356, 900, 900, being
l5,OOO,OOO more than the estimate of
the Secretary. Assuming, therefore,
that we shall not collect more revenue
for the fiscal year ending June so,
1870, than the Secretary estimates we
shall collect for the present fiscal year,
and assuming that our expenditures
will not exceed 500, 900, 900, there will
be surplus of S51, ,OOO, 600 for the year
ending June 80, 1870; but with an
honest collection of the revenue, and
without any increase of taxes, think
we can collect $50, 900, 600 of revenue.
If this can be done, and our eXpendi-
lures can be kept within $500, 900, 900,
we shall show a surplus at the end of
the fiscal year 1870 of $40, 900, 900.
With an exhibit of this character,
which is an exhibit that can be made
if Congress and the Executive shall
act in harmony to that great end, the
credit of the Government will be
on an enduring basis, our
bonds will go to par in Europe, green
backs will approximate gold in value,
taxes may then be reduced, and the
country will then enter on a career of
glory and power, without
parallel in the history of nations"

4 Pension to Abraham LineOln's
Widow.

The proposal of Senator Morton in
Congress for the passage of bill Civ
ing a pension to the widow of Abra-
ham Lincoln is one which will meet
the unanimous and cordial approval
of every one who reverences that great
mans name and memory. 1t is not
fitting that the widow of the man
whom this nation venerates most high
ly, and to whose unselfish devotion,
practical sense and unfiinching cour-
age it owes the preservation of its ex-
istence, should feel herself in want.
1t is especially uniting that any real
or fancied necessity should compel her
to make a show of her old clothes
about the country. We have NO spec
ial fancy for Mrs. Lincoln; but her
claims on the nation are not based
upon her individual merits. She is
the widow of the nations martyr.
She has lost what every other widow
of the martyrs of the war has lost,
and, as the widows of soldiers and
officers are pensioned, she deserves
and should receive pension. More
over, our national reputation is more
or less intimately connected with this
widow of our chief ruler. The old
clothes business was a national dis
grace, and if pension of five thous-
and, dollars n year will prevent its
recurrence, the money will be cheaply
expended. -CyeUeLdRd Leader.
