The fact is just this The demands of

sive every year, and the result is that the
dealers are forming themselves into an as
sociation to protect themselves from this
state OF affairs, and to correct and regulate
the various customs and commissions for.

writing this article is to get the truth and
cause better state of feeling to exist be-

A Person employing a cab in Paris will
De sure OF obtaining again the smallest
trlile that he may chance to leave in the
vehicle, if he makes application for it at
the proper place. If his loss is a watch,
an overcoat, an umbrella, locket, ring,
bank-note, or even small coin, it is
only necessary for him to be able to prove
his property at the Prefecture de Police,
IN order to speedily regain it. This NAV
seem to speak marvellously we'll for the
honesty of the Paris cab-drivers, but the
real fact is, that the probity of these men
is rendered certain by very simple de-
wee, Police agents frequently ride in
cabs, and purposely leave behind them
small coins or other articles of slight val
uc. If these objects are not brought to
the Prefecture de Police within two davs
the cab-driver loses his license, and is also
liable to prosecution. Of course this ripid
measure renders every cab-driver honest
by sheer necessity, as he never knows
when his fare is polce-agert in disguise.
The way they manage things in Paris is
matter OF ceaseless comparison with our
own imperfect and rude methods. How
easy to have in our city cab-system that
should at once be well-ordered, trust
worthy, and economical, instead of which,
by the cooperation of car-interest and
livery-stable interests, we are left without
these useful vehicles altogether.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

I
There is many rest in the road of life,
II we only would stop and take it;
| And many tone from the better land
II the querulous heart would make it!
10 the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'cr iaileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the wintry storm prevaieth.
Better TO hope though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted
There was never night without day.
Or an evening without morning
And the darkest hour as the proverb goes.
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path of life,
W hich we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser' boarded treasure
1t may be the love of a little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks,
For a cup OF water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
bright and golden filing,
And to do Gods will with a ready heart
And hands that are swift and willing.
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends.
And sit and grieve and wonder.

Der colorcd satin, and the Turkish carpet
betrayed no football A curtain partly
loopcd back with gold cord divided the
apartment, and as We thus sat door open-

tered, My Aunt Ethel's sofa was too far
back for her to notice the stranger, but
from my seat, near the window, could
sec him very plainly. He was man of
perhaps fifty years, and of somewhat
naughty bearing. Sitting down at small
table, he appeared for few moments lost

The War In France.

The news from France on Saturday
last was of such a character that the
public was induced to believe that the
Governor Of Paris, Gen. Trochu, had
succeeded in breaking the German line
on the east side of Paris, and at the head
of an army of $50 900 men, had effected
a junction with Gen. de- -Paladines, COM
mander of the army of the Loire, but
later dispatches inform the country DIFF
ferently. Trochu did make an effort to
get out of Paris and form junction with
the army of the Loire, but did not sue
ceed, and Gen. de- Paladines was to as
sist in the junction by moving towards
Paris with his army, but he also was
checked. A dreadful slaughter was the
result, leaving the Germans master of the
situation.

A despatch to Secretary Fish says that
Russia, Prussia, England, Turkey and
Italy have agreed to a conference con.
vention, to consider the Eastern question.
France and Austria have not been heard
from on the subject, but it is probable
the latter will acquiesce." The confer
ence doubtless will give Russia her rights.
If not, Russia will maintain her rights
with the bayonet. The world awaits the
assembling of the conference with interest.
