This little bolus of good advice Ia

by the Tribune, We have 30 many

remember the just old saw about the

"A large proportion of the Ameri.
can people are restless, rowing, scat
tering, driven about from place To
place by every Spring freshet of ex.
element. Their desire for quick
gains and their perpetual motion
wears them out prematurely. They
build houses for life-t residences,
and are ready to sell out their newly.
built homestead a week after Il is
f1nished-for perhaps less than II
cost-aHd off they go, perpetually y
swinging around the circle of chron.
ic change. To the pleasures Of home
and neighborhood attachment, to re.
pose OF feeling and content of mind,
and love OF objects around them,
they are strangers. The fruition oi
trees they plant they rarely witness.
OF all their possessions they have
nothing home-like to gladden.
their hearts. The gardens they lay
out, the furniture they buy, and the
houses they build, afford no home
loving memories. After wearing
out half life time In perpetual
change Of habitation, with little
change and great loss, they see in
their past career nothing but failure!
Habits wayward, the miHd perplex.
ed. the purpose cowed, their ener.
giles baffied and dissp pointed, they
surrender to fate, and except Ia moo
dy despair their abJect situation and
often with conscience scared and
morals wrecked, without friends OF
home. they settle down too late, and
die among strangers.

out OF what Is left after doctors law

IT is said that VIM. B. Astor owns
six hundred buildings, aud does not
insure at all. To cover the expense
to insure his property $50. 600 dollars
would be required, which small for.

amount to one third of the snm.-
He has been unusually free from In

CALICO weddinvs are the order

CALICO weddings are the order OF
the day In Chicago. Young people
there are beginning life in quite
primitive style, without even the tra-
ditional feather-bed and teaspoons,
of which our grandmothers made SO
much. Marriages In large cities have
so long been occasions for foolish ex>
pense and ostentation, that it Is re-
freshing to read of these simple, sim
cere bridals, where the man takes
the woman and the woman takes the
man, and there are no worldly goods
to cast q shadow of suspicion over
the motives OF either party. Not
that silk is sinful, nor that love and
point-lace cannot go together; but
fashion is so apt to smother affection,
and the more goods the less good.
There Is recuperative force In the
healthy affections as well as I'm the
hopeful energy of people. Chica-
go is sound in heart, as well as In
head. and the young people who,
standing on pile OF ashes, and with
only one suit of clothes. dare to face
the world, are not likely to go back
on their marriage vows nor take ad.
vantage Of any easy divorce laws

STANDING. the other day, near the
entrance Of the soloon OF large ho-
tel at the seaside, we saw several
young men pass In. As they stood at
the bar, onei said TO another, with a
smile: Nominate your poison pc
He had said terribly true thing In
joke. Yes, name your poison, Just
the word! And they swallowed
their poison and went their way.
Soon another party went In. Said
the leader to his companion, as they
leaned against the slab, What is
your family trouble?n meaning,
What will you drink ~ Family

has made such domestic misery as

we had learned two new and strik

A Fomenting Husband.

Returning home late the other

Nevs Letter, disrobed without light.
Ing the gas, and lay peacefully down
beside the partner of his joys. Sink
ing bask upon the pillow, he
straightway raised himself up again,
and remarked:
~ say, wife how is your pillow
warm? ?"
"Why, what a foolish question" !"
returned she; "my pillow is all
right"
"Is II real warm ?" he asked.
Certainly 1t is; have had my
head on 1t for three hours"
Apparently satisfied he lay down
and was silent for some time when a
vigorous nudging of the side of his
wife proved that he had another
idea. ....

"For goodness sake what do you
wantF" petulantly answered the
sleepy dame"
II say, you don't use hair oil, do
your"
"Of course not. You know that
as well as anybody. Do, for mercy
sake 60 to sleep" "
Another half hour passed in silence
broken only by the silent ticking of
the clock In the darkness. Then
there was another spasmodic nudg-
ing.
II say, wife, you didn't put the
calf under the bed tonight, did
you ?"
"Gracious me 7" returned the mat.
ron "what Is the matter with you
tonight? Will you never 60 to
slecp?"
"Well," continued her lord, slid
ing his legs out of bed, "I'm blest IL
there amt something alive under
here"
There was the sound of scrabbling
round, a partial upheaving Of the
couch, the quick gleam of white
garment making for the open win
dow. through which 1t disappeared
and . thrashing about In the lrose
bushes outside-and all again was
still. The care Of the children has
been awarded to the husband.

Gloomy View Of France

M. Michel Chevaller, the eminent
French political economist draws
even Q more lugubri0us picture ol
the national finances, In recent
publication which has attracted
much attentio He first points oul
that the interest on the national
debt OF France which, i'm 1852, was
only 23l ,0O0, 900 rose to OO,OO0, 900
during the Empire. The recent re.
port Of the Commission on the Bud.
get makes it 723, ,000, 900 for the year
1870. But even this says M. Cheval.
Ter, IL not oil I: for this neither In.
cludes the interest Of the 500, ,O0O. 900
voted ~ war Indemnity to the de-
partn1ent. and which also must be
raised by loan nor the replacing OF
the immense amount OF war materi-
al, which has been either DESTROYED
or carried of by the Germans nor
the repairs of Notifications, fortress.
%, roads canals, public edifices, &C.,
nor the zoo, 600, 600 paid a. war In.
demnity by the capital, and which
the latter insists ought to be re. paid
by the country. Add all these
items together. says M. Chevallier.
and you will find that the interest oi
the debt alone will require very little
short Of !, 900, 600, 900 before the revo-
luton Of 1880, he remarks, that sum
was suficient TO meet the whole
yearly expenses Of the nation. Now
u only sunices to pay the interest of

Prince Alexis Alexandrovitch

Russian calender, old style): he has
good German education, and ac>
tive training both as military and
as naval officer, being Aidde-camp
10 his father and Celonol In the
army, and Lieutenant in the Fin
land fleet. He has heen Influenced
by his liberal education in favor of
liberal political principles, and IL
thus decidedly out of harmony with
the reactionary old Russian party,
and with his oldest brother Alexan-
der, the Czarovitch, or heir to the
throne, who has the instincts and
policy of tyrant, and whose influ-

court than ever. Among all tho
thousands of columns which have
been written about Alexis, there is
little more than this that is of inter-
