fence is so constructed that every panel
forms passage-way for team, by lifting
out the panel from the lock, which is not
only convenient, but saves time and distance
in driving around to the gate, in order to
pass from one field to another. And for
fencing stocks or making sheep-pens, it is al

A STRANGE BEING IN A TaxAs RIVER.
The Brownsville (Texas) States says that
A. A. freeman, Esq, member elect from
Haywood County, to the next Legiala-
ture, made to one of the editors of that
paper, in tile presence of several we'll
known gentlemen, the following remark
able story: J. B. Maxey, M intelligent
citizen of Bells Depot, in this County,
aud keeper Of the hotel III that place,
and for whom A. A. freeman vouches as
q areliable, truthful man, was fishing III o
canoe. on July 7. in Forked Deer River,
near Bells Depot, and in that part of the
river between the railrond and dirt road
bridges, when his attention was called to
an object in the river, some fifty yards
distant, which presented the appearance
of man drowning. Niaxey rowed his
boat within ten feet of the object, and
saw remarkable creature, as the follow
ing description will testify: It had O face
perfectly white. with features like those
of human being. It had something
like moss on its head instead OF hair,
and its neck was longer than the neck of
o man. It's body, down to the whist, or
80 much Of it as was exposed, was cover
ed with black and white spots. It was
as large as an ordinary man, and had
large black eyes. Maxey was within ten
feet OF it ten minutes. He did not see
any arms. It looked at him and slowly
turned around and disappeared in the
water. Thomas Neal. Esq, told Mr..
Freeman that hes saw the same thing at
the same place about three years ago,
but did not tell it because he thought he
would be laughed at. James Neal and

FRENCH RESOURCES. When France
finally succumbed after the terrible strug-
gle with the German military power, size
rioan: journals as dead beyond the power
of resurrection. We felt compelled to
doubt the correctness Of that opinion.
and pointed out the fact that she had
been reduced to worse straits before, aud
had rapidly reouperated. On QUO occa-
sioh the great statesman Burke opposed
In the House Of Commons an increase
OF the army estimates on the ground
that France had ceused to be first rate
military power, and in two years after
wards he urged q combination of MI the
great European powers to resist her pro-
gress. Tho resources of the nation are
vast, and frenchmen, as g6neral rule.
are prudent and economical. Outside
the cities little is expended for show, or
even Tor comfort, the aim being to save
as much ns possible. ind when the Co
vernment wants to borrow there is
money to lend. Thus it happens that
the late loans, to the remarkable snccess
of which we have heretofore referred,
were so rapidly taken. The original de-
mand Of Bismarck was for eight milliards
of francs, to be paid within less than
two years. The miliiard, or 1000, 600,
is equivalent in the enumeration Of
francs to $500, 900, 600 in gold. One
milliard and half OF franos, or $780,
600, 900, had TO be paid TO Germany
within the present year. Theirs made a
call OH France for q loan Of S40O, 900, :
600. and withinh few hours $500, OOD, 600
was offered him., OF which 500. 900, 600
VAS subscribed by France. Paris offer
ing $500. 900. 900, and the provinces
5000. .000. 600. the rest being lent by
foreign capitalists.
As the PhilRdelphia Press remarks,
Prince Bismarck, who allowed the in
demnity to be reduced to five miiliards,
is probably sorry, by this time. that he
did not adhere to his first demand of
eight-that is 81, 900. 900. 600. instead of
81. 100000. He had not calculated
sufficiently on the reouperative power of
France. The subscription to 4.00U,-
600. 0oof., estimating the Whole popula-
ton. adult and juvenile. at 10000, 600
for every one. The interest on the
loan is ak per cent, which is double tue
amount paid on the national debt OF
England. We, too. pay six per cent,
but the difference is thai France bor-
rowed in gold, the United States in
paper money.
Tho Press adds that when The Franco
Prussian war broke ont, year ago,
England had q national funded,
unfunded and valne of annuities-ex
ceeding $4,000. .O0O.O0O France til. n
owed $3.50, 100000. While the war
went on this was increased by two loans
of 5000. 600, 600. thereby making an
amount of $3.U5O, 900. 600 at the CLOSE OF
1870. being 1850, 600. 900 less thar that OF
England. The new loan will swell this
up to So. .45O. 600, 900. leaving the French
debt $3.50. 600, 900 less than the English.
That is, in sterling money. G690, 600, ,0OC
