The spoils OF the Victor.

Germany Is already beginning to feel me
effect of the stream of money which has poured
across the border since the close of the wal
with France. The Grand Dhchy of Baden has
beeL balancing its accounts, and finds that its
war expenses have been nearly cleared of.
Like the rest OF Germany 1t has received only
two-afths of the indemnity due, and with Its
share of the balance 1t purposes to eXtinguish
it's national debt. Baden was probably at no
greater proportion of expense than the rest OF
Germany; and 1t may therefore be inferred
that the cost Of the entire campaign In France
has already been refunded. or nearly 30. Aa
yet, however, oRly s4o0, 100000 has been paid,
and the s6OO,0OO,OO to come may be set down
as nearly clear profit. The pay OF officers In
the army has been raised with liberal hand,
and there are other evidences OF the plelhoric
condition of the finances of the Empire. Alto
gether, the war, setting aside the loss Of lite,
is likely to prove splendid speculation for
Prussia. France not only pays all costs, but
adds huge bonus, sufficient to warrant all the
officers OF the army handsome income and
dIstend the treasury to It's utmost limits. 1t
ls very pleasant for Germany but less COM
Portable for the unwilling contributors to this
aff1uence

bill which makes every citizen o.. charleston
tremble in bis shoes, and simultaneously
they reject the bill for the rebuilding OF
Charleston. The former bill would impair the
ieeling;oi security, without which solidsim-
proyement is impossible. The last named
bill, by foregoing pittance of taxes for a
few years, would have given the State a
larger basis OF taxation, besides affording
employment to hundredsi the workingmen
whose interests the Legislature habitually
ignore. The license bill is another ex-
ample'of the folly Of our tax-levying legla-
lators. To swell their revenue for one year
they are willing to dimialsh their income Tor
decades to come.
The General Assembly have no more re-
gard, it seems, for their. own interests than
they have for the interests Of the people.
Their conduct is as silly as that OF the prod
igal who exhausts in days dissipation
what would have kept him decently exhila'
rated for at least year.

Bengal tiger and several other tigers of an
inferior grade, :fhe tanner, Mr.. Daflous, pro-
ceeded into thek cage as usual, and immedi-
ately perceived that something was wrong.
The eyes Of the ferocIous beasts had an un.
usual glare; and their capacious throats emitted
omihous growls. Deeming the better part OF
valor to be discretion, Mr. Darious was taxing
measures to retire, when the royal peast
leaped upon and bore him to the floor. AS
Darlous went down, he uttered single ery

The Spirit OF the vanqulshed.

Whatever may be thought of the frlYollties
of the French, there is something inspiring IN
their love OF couRtry, and the manifestations
of 1t among al classes In this dark hour Of
national misfortune are especially touching.
It was recently suggested by an Alsatian
woman that the women of France should raise
contribution to pay the German Indemnity
and deliver the native soil from the presence
of the hated conqueror. The suggestion was
taken up BY q Paris editor Of the Journal des
Debats, it was promptly seconded by all the
papers OF the city and country-and with an
enthusiasm almost unprecedented, The whole
population appear to be rallying to It,. The
Assembly has paused with its financial
schemes to await the result Of this popular
oulburst. In every city, village and hamlet
OF the kingdom committees have been organ
lied to raise AMI receive contributions, ana
everywhere large sums have been subscribed.
The elan Is said to be irresistible. Mr. Gail
lardet says In Paris every day there are nu-
merous individual subscriptions of 100000
francs. The provinces respond with equal
ardor. Many touching scenes are recorded.
The other day poor peasant, near Paris,
ruined by the war, came to offer what re-
NAMED to him, his last COW, and begged that
1t might be accepted. On another day
young girl brought The fragments of finger
rings and earrings. "It is all have" she
said limidly, shut will give in addition one
'.hour's work every week." A distinguished
lady, who was present, greatly moved at what
bhe saw, threw In brilliant diamond along
With the fragmentary rings. "The example
SIS too charming, must follow It," she said.
Such scenes are OF daily occurrence. The
theatres, workshops, public offices, all mlngle
in the good work. In New York, among
Frenchmen, the same enthusiasm prevails, and
considerable sums are being contributed.
The same spirit will be found wherever there
is native Of Ia belle France.
