War Observation-Disclosures believes in the con-
tiuuatiOn of peace, Prince Bismarck does not.
Neither, as we have seen, does Count Andrassy.
liz is impossible to say against whom all this ap-
paratus of powder and steel is directed but
plausible excuses for accommodating it are never
wanting. NJ. Theirs openly boasts that he pos
sesses an Incompatible army and few willd doubt
that the only one object which NJ. Theirs puts
before his own advancement and the maintenance
of his authority is the glory of the French arms,
and the redemption of French military prestige.
In that policy of studiOus preparation he has
many rivals, but no opponents. Religious en-
thusiasts are commonly supposed 10 postpone
considerations OF country TO those of sect but
the LOurdes pilgrims are patriots before all
things, and in the paraphernalia with which they
honor the Virgin, precedence Is given To the
drapcd banners of Alsace and Lorraine. Their
cry is. = Our lady of Revenge and the mild
Madonna is to be their patron saint against the
Prussians. There are Legitimists, and let them
only persuade their countrymen that either by
of Sedan, and Republics, Conservative or other
wise, would fly before them like chaff before the
wind. Unfortunately for them, it is not NJ.
Theirs alone who completes with their fiery icryOr.
Nj. Gambetta was once for war a OutrGRce, and Is
still for revenge a OutrGHoe. There is not q
corner of Europe that is not armed to the teeth.
Only the other day we were told that even Servia
could put 800 600 into the field. Spain is out OF
the reckoning only because Spaniards are busy
fighting Spaniards and Cubans. The Italians are
going to fOrtify Monte Mario. What next? Yet
who can blame them? Pope and Prussians are
at dagsers drawn, and the same pilgrimage does
for the glOrihcatiOn of the one and the extermina-
ton Of the Other.-LOHdOH Standard.

How MUCH FLIES EAT.-A curious calculation
has been made lately by a SGvdnt well known in
Paris for his peculiar antipathy to the fly. He
collected 5000 flies in a room measuring two
cubic metres. On the floor be spread a pounded
loaf of sugar. At the end of four days he went
to investigate the result of his experiment. There
remained a teaspoonful of sugar. This ~stathsti-
clan, therefore calculates that, sugar being at the
rate of thirteen cents a pound, a fly costs the
country twenty cents from its birth to It's demise,
that is, if fed on loaf sugar.

ESTIMATES OF THE VOTE.
Snow Sheds.

Miles and miles of these building have
been erected, and here again the terrible
severity Of the wind is manifest. Some of
these sheds are literally filled with snow,
which had to be taken out on flat cars.
The smallest cracks were sufficient to let
it drive through in astonishing quantities.
Clinging to the rafters and braces of these
sheds SNOW still remains in great round
cakes, many of them as large as wash-tubs
and as hard as ice. Some of the sheds
were literally filled to the top, and pass
age-way has been cut for trains through
it, leaving perpendicular wall upon each
side, against which the sides of the cars
rub.
These sheds are made with slanting
sides and a roof somewhat like that of a
house. They are thoroughly braced in
side and covered with inch plank. tapping
each other like the weather boards or clap
boards of house. You cannot see cracks
sufficient for snow to get through, but its
presence in such quantities inside is evil
dence that it did. These sheds, costly as
they are, will all have to come down, and
heavy frame work with we'll nigh air.
tight sides and top take their places.-H.

The Credit System.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Will you allow a
constant reader an opportunity to express
himself on the above named subject. AS
every one knows the advantages of the
system, it will be my object to show some
of the disadvantages arising from 1t. In
business life many men seem to think,
when they get the upperhand of neigh
bor, they show how sharp (?) they are, and
felicitate themselves on the suppOsition
that they are getting on i'll the world. The
most frequent plan adopted to carry out
their designs is to buy everything they
need on time, vainly imagining that the
use of the money will inure to their profit.
Let us see how this works: Mr.. A. gets
trusted for all he buys, and Mr.. B. pays
cash. Mr.. A. has to pay q good round
price for all he gets, because the man he
trades with can not afford to wait two or
three months for his money and sell at cash
prices Thus, A. loses where B. gains.
Again, Mr. AS grocer does not seek such
customers as he is, and he will not show
him his best goods. He will sell him
an inferior article, for he says / do not
care if he does go somewhere else, and this
is good enough for him! But when Mr..
b. comes in, the grocer is all smiles and at
once produces the choicest of his stock,
and puts the price at the lowest figures,
for Mr.. B. pays cash and can trade where
dence showing it is really to the advantage
of the individual to pay cash, but with one
thought we pass on. How many business
men have been ruined by the credit sys-
tenn how many honest men have been
made rogues by it? No tongue can tell,
and vet some of our best busines men argue
in favor of it. A city firm paid for bill of
goods twenty days before it was due.
" Very foolish, - said their neighbOrs, but
that firm made fifty dollars by the tram
sactiOn more than they would had they
held the money the full time, besides es-
tablishing a name for prompt dealing.
Now, see how the system effects the dealer.
Mr.. 4. comes in and buys bill of goods,
says he will pay at the end of the month.
The dealer goes to his Book-keeper,
and has the charge entered, it is then post
ed to the ledger, and at the end of the
month the bill is made out and the collect
or starts out to find his man. Goes once,
twice, three times before he finds him, and
then gets-put off for few days. At the
end of another month he calls again but
fails to get his money, and the end is, Mr..
A. gets sued and the lawyers have Job.
Well, eventually the dealers collects his
money-if Mr.. A. does nOt,die or take the
bankrupt act as a shield for his rascality-
but what has it cost him? ManifeStly he
had gained by the transaction had he
made Mr.. \. present of the goods at the
outset The credit system causes waste
of thousands on thousands yearly in sums
paid for books, book-keepers, collectors,
lawyers, &c. Let us suppose that all these
persons were producers, and what differ
ence there would be in the general ad-
vancement of the country! But we can
hardly look for this consummatiOn until
business men learn to do business on the
cash basis OnlV when there will be more
business and greater prosperity for all.
