The New York Post, in a careful arti-
Gle on the effect of peace in Europe will
have in this country, states some facts
worthy of special attention. If, says the
article, the indemnity of $8,000,000,O0O
which is demanded of France is to be paid
in bonds of the new French Government,
to be issued at once, the effect of such an
immense issue would be to unsettle the
money markets on the continent and in
this country. 1t is to be supposed, how
ever, that the financial agents of both gov
ernments will be careful to guard against
such consequences.
The resumption Of specie payments in
France, it is thought, will not be long de-
layed after peace is declared. 1t seems
to be admitted that very large stock of
silks, gloves and wines are on hand in the
French cities ready for shipment as soon
as safe transportation can be secured.--
The sale Of these stocks would bring spe-
Gle to France, and in a measure relieve
financial embarrassment. This benefit
would, to d certain extent, be neutralized
and perhaps even. overbalanced by pay
ments for breadstuffs, for which there must
be very heavy demand, just as soon as
supplies can with safety be moved. For
many months to cope the demand for our
home products win be very great. In
Rouen, Dieppe, Amiens, Paris, and even
as far South as Tours, great distress pre-
walls. In all the sections visited by the
armies great destitution prevails. In Ger
many. owing to the heavy drain upon the
working classes, the usual quantity of
breadstufs were not produced. To meet
these demands the United States will find
an active demand for all her surplus stores.
This demand will extend to cotton as well
as produce. and the result will be jncreas-
cd activity in the produce, cotton, and
money markets, and an enlarged increase
in transportation, both by rail and water.
One Immediate effect of peace wonld be
to open up the stock markets in London.
European and American stocks would
change hands, and it is thought the specie
which would form the basis for the trans
actions would, in great measure, come
from this country.
In reply to the prediction that peace
would result in taking from us a large
amount of foreign capital sent here for
safety, during the war, the Post says it
fails to find, on inquiry among bankers in
New York, that such capital to any large
amount ever came over.
On the whole, therefore, the Post con-
cludes that there is prospect of increas-
ed activity in the general trade of the
world, international as well as domestic.
whenever the two great nations now at
war return to peaceful industry.

Beautiful Thought.

There is but breath OF air and beat
of the heart between this world and the
next. And in the brief interval of a pain
full and awful suspense, while we feel that
death is with us, that we are powerless,
and He all powerful, and the last faint
pulsation here is but the prelnde of end
less life hereafter, we feel in the midst Of
ruinous calamity about to befall US, that
earth has no conlpensating good to the Sc
verify of our loss. But there is no grief
without some benefcent provisions to sof-
ten its intensities. When the good and
the lovely die, the memory of their good
deeds, like the moons on the stormy sea,
lights up our darkened hearts, and lends
to the surrounding a beauty SO sad, SC
sweet, that we would not. if we could. dis
pel the darkness that enyirons US.

iron that composed the barrel of the pump.
They were cutting holes to let the water
into the pump below. 1t had already ris-
en- above their waists, and the mouth of
the lowest drift was nearly submerged.
The machinery was cracking and groan-
ing and the wheel dashing round. but 1t
was idle show, and the mine was filling up
and soon the men would be driven out !;
but meantime we could hear the blows of
the axes. Presently the clumsy walking
beam quit groaning, stood still and began
to tremble The wheel had stopped for a
moment, then began to move slowly and
went round with surge There was a
great rush of water through the pump, and
it was all right. Our old wooden pump
was equal to he.occasion. The flood gates
were opened on the great overshot wheel.
and it was required to do its BEST 1t
rushed steadily, and in an hour the mine
was freed from water, so that men could
press into the drift.
1t was arranged that if Little Jimmy
were found alive; the fact should be tel
egraphed aloft by two strokes of the signal
bell; but if dead, one tap should announce
it. Men were working underground as
only such men would work. They had
been told off into gangs of four each, which
spelled or relieved each other every fifteen
minutes; and as they advanced into the
avalanche of rocks and earth that filled the
drift, every inch had to be propped with
heavy timbers, for the vast mass above
them had been shaken and had lost its CO.
hesion, and at any moment might crush
down like mountain.
Presently, to those who waited above,
there came sharp peal of the bell-then
another. He was alive! What shout
went up from the men assembled there
Out of the depths of that canon, above
its cliffs and crags, and over the trees that
waved on their SUBMITS, and above the
mountains that lowered beyond-far above
them all it rose like incense. 1t assembled
into Heaven; for it was prayer-a pray
er of thanksgiving and of praise. Not
formed in speech, not framed in language,
but the overhowing of the heart that can
not be uttered in words.
My story is done. Little Jimmy had
been overwhelmed with an avalanche, his
candle extinguished, and he dashed down
with his face to the earth, but the rocks
and timbers had formed an arch over him.
He was borne sdown to the earth, ard the
water had risen round him; and, resting
his elbow on the ground, he was just able
to support his head above it. In little
while he would have drowned where he
lay; but he was safe now. Strong hands
had dragged HIM out of this grave. They
had harnessed themselves to the ''horse
whim," and had hoisted him into the glo-
rious sunshine. They bore him to his
cabin, and placed him in the tender care
of Doc" Here we will leave him.
The three drinking saloons in our little
camp, proclaimed open doors ard free
whisky for the rest of that day; and as
the boys were about to take drink, Bob
Piper asked leave to offer a sentiment.-
Gentlemen" said he, Il told you we'd
cit un out, if so be as God would help us.
Gentlemen, He did help us.' 'YOu tetP'

FALL BRANCH, Jan. 81.
Editors Herald and Tribune:
The first term of Masonic Normal Col
lege closed on Friday the 9th inst, with
an examination of the Female department
by Prof. Baker, Principal. The intel
ligent audience In attendance seemed to
concur in the expression that the exami-
nation was fully satisfactory, and reflect
ted great credit on the Professor as well
as those under his charge. The young la
dies evinced familiarity with their stu
dies which was really remarkable, consid-
ering the number they had on hand, and
the short time many of them had beeu in
school, The compositions and other ex-
ercises were also very creditable.
One fact regret to note, and that is,
that from some cause or other, the Prima-
ry Department has been neglected. Our
Board Of Trustees should feel that it is a
matter of vital Importance, to look after
the little ones, and while providing for the
wants of the young men and women, should
not neglect the little boys and girls of the
community, for from this class it must
look for the recruits for the higher depart
ments of the College. The hundred and
sixty children of our District must be in
school, or we cannot with much show of
propriety, solicit patronage from dis
tance, for an intelligent public will not
long support an institution of learning in
community where the children are suf-
fered to grow up in ignorance.
The second term will open on the 9TH
day of next month, and it is hoped that
provision will be made for all classes of
students. ARGUS.
