Ratification of the Peace Treaty.

In the French Assembly, on the lst
inst, the Committee of Consultation
which accompanied Theirs to Versailles
made report, unanimously recon-
mending the ratification by the Assem-
bly, of the preliminaries of peace agreed
to and submitted by the President. M.
Bamberger, the Deputy from the De-
partment of the Moselle, adjured the
Assembly to reject any terms involving
the cession Of French territory. He
strongly denounced Napoleon III. A
violent agitation arose in the Chamber
on an attempt made by NJ. Cont, for
merly private secretary to Napoleon, to
speak in justification of the Empire
The Assembly enthusiastically and
unanimously voted, by reclamation, a
resolution offered by NJ. large, decree.

through church or lecture room floors,

suicide in other forms. The Erie rail
road kills from 90 to 46; the other S45

You will excuse me from taking any

And my advice to all people is: Don't
stay at home any more than you can

4" The Man Who Drinks"

The man who drinks is never, III the
end, "the man who laughs" He is
generally the man who weeps, or for
whom others must shed bitter tears. He
is, alas q member of no particular class
of society. You meet him everywhere,
from the lowest to the highest places
of this world, and always find him not
only his own worst enemy, but the UNI
conscious enemy of all who trust in
him.
If, among band of working
mechanics, you find one who, on wages
others deem sufficient for decent
clothes, tidy rooms and comfortable dim
ners, is always out at elbows, always at
loggerheads with his landlord and al
ways complaining 81 hard times, ten to
one he is the man who drinks.
If on the Judges bench you meet a
man who deals unjustly, who judges
unrighteously, who is facetious in the
presence of misery and makes crime a
Jest. and the sentence of some poor
wretch an excuse for stupid puns and
vulgar witticisms. there, also, yau may
know the man Uho drinkS-in his own
snug little room perhaps, not openly,
but all the same, q dItplkd"d.
If you see woman worn and pale
and wretched from some unknown
cause, fear in her eye and anxiety in
hervoice, youth gone too early, and her
daily duties mere sad burdens, ten to
one her husband is the man ,0ho drinks
for whoever knew that man to keep his
vow, and love and cherish and protect
his wife?
The beggar childrenin the cutters, ig-
norant and vile and wretched beyond
description, are hi. offsprings. The Jail
opens to let him in. The gallows some
times ends his life.
TIE man who drinks is not always an
idiot, as one might believe. The great
est statesmen have ceased to be great
the best writer's of the world dropped
their pens when they were most useful
and most brilliant-splendid fellows,
whom men admired and woman loved
have fallen in their heyday because
of rum. In one word, half the world is
failure, its hopes all wrecked, its love
an offering on ruined shrine, its
schemes dead failures, its crimes legion,
its prisons and its charnel-houses full,
because of the man aOho drinks.

While Shows Are Falling.

The Spring time came-the Spring time went.
With shimmerng cloud and shiny weather,
The golden glory of June was spent;
On hills and fields we roamed together.
We walked throug ,autumns purple haze,
The futures dreAm of bliss forestalling,
And shuddering. thought of Winters days,
With SHOWS a-falling.
For earth was all so wondrous fair
And heaven smiled down SO blue above II,
Each wandering breath of balmy air
But made us learn anew to love it.
What wonder. If with all so bright
And wild birds through the woodland calling.
We sighed to think Of Winters night.
And snow a-falling.
And when, ut last. the world was dressed
In shining robes Of mail cleaning,
And calm white silence lulled TO rest
The pale, dead flowers, beneath il dreaming.
Behold we woke TO find made true
The hope our hearts had been forestalling,
And life grew fairer than we knew
While SHOWS were falling,
All well the days of youth fly fast;
Their suns grow dim, their blossoms wither.
And all the dreams that made our past
Fly fast and far, we know not whittier;
But when we tread life's wintry slope,
We hear again their voices calling,
And Memory clasps the hand OF Hope,
While SHOWS are falling.

Growth of Cereals.

At the last meeting of the British AS
ISOLATION, Mr.. F. q. Hallett read paper
on the claw of Development in &C.
reals" His experience showed him
several years ago, that grain, and espe-
cially wheat, was injured by being
planted too closely. He found wheat
plant would increase above the ground
in proportion as its roots had room to
develop, and that the roots might be
hindered by being in contact with the
roots of another plant. Mr.. Hallett
thus sums up the result Of his extended
experiments:
l. Every fully developed plant, wheth-
er of wheat, oats, or barley, presents
one ear superior in productive power to
any of the rest on that plant.
2. Every such plant contains one grain
which, upon trial, proves more product
i've than any other.
3. The best grain in a given plant is
in its best ear.
4. The superior vigor of this grain is
transmissible in different degrees to its
progeny.
5. By repeated careful selection the
superiority is accumulated.
6. The improvement which is first
raised gradually after series of years
is diminished in amount, and eventually
so far arrested that, practically speak
ing, limit to improvement in the de-
sired quality is reached.
7. BY still continuing to select, the
improvement is maintained, and practi-
cally a fixed type is the result.

The RAILROADS OF GREAT BRITAIN-
The returns of the English Board O.
Trade for 1869, show that the aggregat
railway capital of that year increased
from 81, l20, 667, l35 to 81 ,l33, $40, 665, anS
that the floating debt has been reduced
from S544, 703,535 to sos, 5000 r.
reduction of the floating debt has be-
applied to raising the debenture sto1
from Sl26, 432, 800 to Sl72,522,S50. TN
total capital had risen from $2,55S ,404,
275 to 1854, 1897, 1905, an increase of
49,, 493, 800 This capital in 1869 earned
$2l3,479,635, at working expense of Az
per cent, and left an average net profit
of 100000, 800, paying the stockholders
422 per cent, against 4.0S per cent. iry
1868. This increase is due mainly tod
the business on few of the great lines.
The increase in capital and mileage of
the lines, however, greatly exceeds the
increase in passengers carried. Thus, in
1869 there were only 305,66S,07l passen.
gers carried, against 304, 1876, 1874 in 1868,
an increase of 1881 1877. 1t is stated that
if the Metropolitan Railway be excluded,
there is an actual decrease in passenger
traffic. In 1868 the Metropolitan car.
ried 34,5l2,000 passengers, against &c.
S93,79l in 1869, making an increase OF
2,3Sl,79l. 1t therefore appears that { !
falling off of S50,054 passengers occurre I
in the country railroads.

The SAN DoMINGo CoMNIssIoN.-Dis
patches from the San Domingo Commits
sion to the l4th are as follows:
The Commission met last evening and
exchanged views with regard to the
work remaining to be done, and the
propriety of forwarding a preliminary
report. 1t was agreed to name the mid
die of April as the time of arrival in
Washington. Upon the question of a
brief report by mail, it was decided not
to send it, in view of the fact that con-
siderable important information, just
obtained, might materially modify any
report made up from what had been
fully considered. The Secretary Of State
was addressed in brief letter, giving in
outline the work already done, and the
list of expeditions sent into the interior,
together with the objects of EACH The
parties now out, officially, are the fol-
lowing: Prof. Blake, with geological
party, and Prof. Crane, for the Commits
sion, are on their'way across the island
to Puerto Plato Prof. Ward is explor.
ing La Vega. Gen. Sigel has gone to
Aqua and Profs. Marvin and Miller
have gone in the same direction, with a
view OF examining the copper region.
DIR. Parry is making thorough botani-
cal examination and DIR. Newcomb is
pursuing medical researches in various
directions. The health of the whole
party is excellent. While thus far the
bulk of the testimony indicates very
favorable condition of affairs, information
has been obtained-the exact character of
which the Commission does not make
known-which, in the minds of some of
its members, introduces obstacles which
earlier testimony did not promise. The
Haytien complication is occupying the
serious attention of the Commission, and
the intention now is to devote much
more time to its investigation than was
at first agreed upon. Full transcripts
of such Government records as relate
to leases, concessions, or grants of land
for railroads, have been taken. They
are very numerous. The Commission
expected to sail in the Tennessee for
! Azua on the 18th or 10th of February.

CURIOUS DRAMATIC PRESENTATION
The London correspondent of the Bos-
ton advertiser witnessed in hall hold
ing nearly $1,000 people representa-
ton of the siege of Strasbourg, which
brought out the English sympathy for
France in an amusing manner. The
performance introduced some 700 per-
formers, and was given by circus COM
pany. A large painting of the citadel
was exhibited, and the manager of the
troupe, determined to display the en-
tire resources of his establishment,
brought in live sheep, oxen, two camels,
two zebras and an elephant, which
walked up the hall and passed out of
sight behind the citadel. Then the
Prussians approached, upon which the
French sailed out and gave their adver-
saries severe whipping, Both sides
carry off their wounded under flag of
truce, after which the Prussians return,
renew the battle, fire their shells into
the doomed place, and the piece ends
with Strasbourg in flames. During the
progress of the representation, an open
carriage, supposed to contain the King
of Prussia and Bismarck, drives round
the hall, and at every step these per-
sonages were received with the English
signs of dislike. The audience exhib.
tied great anger when any of the French
were killed, and throughout the piece
the Prussians were groaned at, while
the French were cheered TO the echo.

THE ALASKA Fur TRADE.-The San
Francisco Commercial Herald says The
bulk of the furs which now come from
Alaska are no longer sold in the San
Francisco market. 1t is estimated that
last year furriers and spectators in San
Francisco did not purchase more than
ten per cent. of the amount brought to
this market. These furs, after expenses
of repacking, freight and insurance had
been incurred, netted forty per cent.
more in the European market than they
would bring in this city. In sale of
sixty thousand fur seal skins in London,
on the 9th of December last, the lot
brought an average of twenty shillings
and three pence sterling each, or frac-
ton over S. for each skin. While the
Alaska Commercial Company brought
down the bulk of the furs, we note arri-
walls with furs from Victoria there were
also seven or eight cargoes of furs
brought to this city from Siberia. The
importation of furs to this city for the
year 1870 exceed in value $2,OO0,OO0.
Important discoveries in fur seal islands
have been made during the past year.
IL no other combination is effected,
there is still prospect that there will
be healthy competition in the fur
trade for some time to como.

The Next Congress.

The Clerk of the National House of
Representatives has completed the list
of members which he will call on the
organization of the Forty-second Con-
gress, on Monday, March 6. He has
thrown out but one District where an
election has been held, which is the
Third Arkansas District, where Ed
wards, Democrat, was refused certifi-
cate of election by the Governor. There
will, therefore, be 1872 Republicans and
90 Democrats to be sworn in on Satur-
day, thus leaving II members yet to be
elected from New Hampshire, Connect
icut, California and Texas. In the pres
ent House these States stand 10 Repub-
leans and Democrats. If the same
number are returned at the spring cleo
tons, the House will stand: Republic
cans, 40; Democrats, 100; leaving the
single Arkansas District in contest.
But there are already notices of Is cases
of contested election, which is little
more than half of the number in the
present Congress. There will be four
colored members in the next House
two blacks and two mulattoes.
